Never in the history of the game has gear sets been so homogenised and boring and a massive reason is removing class sets in favor of armor type sets.
i welcomed the change away from sets to azerite.
hind sight being 20/20, i sincerely hope they bring sets back. lol. what a mistake.
Yes, because:
-they look cool, and art team is going to do something other than using the same model all across the same amor type wearer classes,
-it's nice bonus and it's something to work for,
I hope that with the success of Classic they'll rethink many of their bone head moves from the past.
Tier sets added class favour and allowed blizzard to balance classes in a way that wasn't just "buffed the damage of all abilities by 2%"
They were also prestigious to acquire which is a big thing BFA is missing, goals.
Depends. 4p tier was meh and wouldn't do much to change my mind on WF/TF, however a 6p or even full-blown 8p tier sets I think I would actually be ok with WF/TF. The tier pieces should still be BiS (and the equivalent TF'd ilvl) but that would be a happy medium (to me ofc) where WF/TF was like badge gear. You still aim for the tier pieces but if you had shit luck, or whatever you're still feeling like you're progressing.
I just don't like the thought of strictly chasing nothing but RNG for upgrades. I swear (if I'm right, is this still the case?) where even at the WF/TF upgrades were randomized stats, literally like D3? If so, that, I could never get behind.
I understand why they did it. They ran out of ideas for interesting bonuses. Id be fine with class specific looks on armor rather than the generic armor type look we have now. Even if there isnt any bonuses to the armor.
I try asking people, and rarely get an unbiased answer, what would classic's "success" look like to you?
Do you think once the nostalgia wears off (and all the QoL changes that were implemented since) people will still find it enjoyable?
Personally, I suppose as long as there's enough players to fill even one server (so what, 3-5k?) and they actually play it would be a success to me. I do think there will be people who play nothing but classic, but my concern is those who want to play both but simply due to time have to pick one over the other and retail gets the choice. In other words, I wonder if raiding on classic will be offset for the majority of guilds since the majority of players will be raiding on their mains on retail.
I don't think there's enough of a base of players (those from the era) that still have either a.) a desire to play games, b.) a desire to play WoW, c.) the time to play games, d.) the time to play WoW and/or e.) the time to play classic WoW. That concerns me the most.
For art sets?, sure.
For actual set items? No, please stay the fuck away.
The occasional two set item pairing such as BoD cloak and ring is fine, but multiple piece sets are just shit for gearing up, especially when the bonuses offer massive benefits compared to none set items.
Speciation Is Gradual
Yes, I hate having only 1 transmog set per tier instead of multiple ones (you could usually gather the off-class ones from look-alikes), and most of the BFA transmog sucks. Biggest reason they removed them was so they can create fewer, but better sets. At least they claimed so. Too bad sets aren't better, most of them look awful. We're going into 8.2 and yeey naga heads for everyone. I'd take class sets over this any day.
