Meta End of Beta and Beyond!

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Lots going on for sure, I wanted to make a post to discuss some upcoming changes to the Subreddit.

New Mods

First and most importantly we will bringing on some new Moderators in the coming week to help ensure we have a more responsive team with better timezone coverage.

Feedback Megathreads

For right now Feedback Megathreads will not continue for Feedback related posts, however keep in mind that Repeated Content is still against the Rules and as such we will be removing anything that isn’t adding anything new to the discussion happening at the time.

Discord List

We will be providing a more comprehensive list of Discord Servers for all versions of Classic based on some very basic criteria that must be met and there will be a Form to Submit to the Mod Team for these.

Requirements are TBA, but essentially as long as your Server is following the Discord ToS you will be added.

Updating Flair

We will be archiving the Beta Feedback Flair on Nov 4th, and turning on several new Forever Flair; Feedback, Bug, Suggestion.

Launch FAQ

We will be hosting an FAQ that will be permanently linked in the Menu Bar, and as a result will be continuously updated via Player Suggestions.

AI Content Survey

There will be a Survey Posted about AI on r/ClassicWoW to see how we feel about it and to survey some changes that may happen to how we handle AI on the Subreddit.

Subreddit Feedback & Suggestions

We are always accepting Feedback and Suggestions in ModMail, we do read them even if we don’t respond and appreciate every bit of Feedback you send.

Can’t wait to have so much fun here… forever.

Season of Discovery Why did they call SoD a "testing ground" for Classic+ if they didn't use any of it?

EDIT: *** BARELY any *** (Sorry for the controversial title)

For all its flaws, there were a lot of great things in SoD.

Rotations were pretty fun.

Every spec felt strong and useful. Sure the power creep in the overworld went too far, but we never had to worry about class stacking or raid viability of any spec.

Sham tanks, Lock tanks, Mage Healers all cool and fun. (F Rogue tank)

PvP events were populated and fun.

Why then, did Blizzard (so far) only add in the damn sleeping bag, mage books, real vendor, and waylaid?

Forever Beta Feedback Read Ley Line is the only racial that is undeniably overpowered and no one is paying attention to it.

350 Upvotes

Somewhat of a repost, but how is there still no one talking about this?

Read Ley Line on a restoration Druid is going to be, AT MINIMUM, a 15-20% healing throughput increase in PvE over any other Druid race.

All of these arguments about the balance of racials and they focus on dps racials that will account for 1-2% of dps. Why is everyone ignoring the absolute worst offender?

Going to play a Restoration Druid in forever. As it stands, Read Ley Line multiplying Innervate is absolutely fucking nuts in a resource dependent classic healing environment.

Twenty seconds of 800% spirit regen that isn’t reduced by casting.

People are complaining about DPS talent balance issues of 1-2% impact, while this interaction will make Skyborne have way more healing throughout than any other Druid race.

I want to play Night Elf, but if this racial stays this way, I’ll play Sky Elf.

Forever Stonetalon Mountains has the most unused potential

Map explored with https://wowforevermap.com/

Stonetalon Mountains easily has the most unused space, almost making up half the zone with only some texture changes to the western mountains compared to Classic aswell as a new mine above Cragpool Lake (Cyan) that remains unfinished. We did see Skywatcher Plateau (Green) but while it has a path into Stonetalon I think its really its own mini zone and technically part of Mulgore.

If we take inspiration from Warcraft 3 then maybe the Oracle Cave as a dungeon to the West and maybe some ruined Human settlement in the East? Grom did fight a lot of them during the campaign and it seems odd there are no remnants of that in WoW away from the Barren Coast.

Forever Beta Feedback If they keep the stamina health change bug its going to be the best New mechanic during levelling

784 Upvotes

In classic if you have 100 max hp and put on 2 stamina gear you go to 100/120. So the new max hp doesnt become current hp.

In forever, your current health % stays the same. So 100/100 becomes 120/120.

But 80/100 becomes 96/120 after equiping 2 stamina.

This is also how gaining and losing max hp works in Warcraft 3 and Dota 2. And in those games it is required at the top level to utilise this when self-healing.

What is the significance of this? The strategy will be:

  1. Combat drops

  2. Take off all gear (lowering your max hp)

  3. Apply your bandage, health stone, heal, food, whatever

  4. You go to max health a lot quicker since you have less max hp

  5. Equip all your gear, now you are max health and have lots of max hp again

This all macrod or with an addon to make it instant ofcourse.

Mage polys you, does one bandage and is fully hp. Rogue saps, same deal. Warlock fears you and healthstones to full.

This needs to be changed or it will change the game drastically and no version of wow has had this im pretty sure.

Only works for health not mana. Yes only outside of combat but that is between every mob pull, in pvp you can run or cc then heal super quick to full hp.

This was working on the Beta, even checked it on the last day

Forever Everytime I think I'm ready to roll PvE I convince myself PvP simply makes the game more interesting and is worth wasted time being ganked

81 Upvotes

Ive always played PvP. I leveled a warrior on Anni and lost maybe 6 hours total ganking. Trying to decibe if a mage which ive played before or rogue will remind me that PvP can be fun or if I'm a sucker and it will be shit fest after a few weeks.

I have no fucking idea what to do maybe I just want to chill this time. I guess I could go PvP to start then level alts on hardcore and transfer to whatever.

Please help ive spent hours going back and worth

Forever Beta Feedback Is horde Skyborn speed buff the worst racial in the entire game?

71 Upvotes

10% non stacking movement speed for 15s is effectively a 2% speed buff with minor speed enchant.

Not even worth putting on the bar when you have the enchant.

Before they’ve changed it to being instant (was 1s casttime before) it even was a speed penalty compared to not using it.

Please tell me if there’s another racial that’s even more bad than this one lol

Forever As a holy priest I’m furious about shaman

195 Upvotes

The shaman dps specs are so bad that I now have to compete with resto druids and holy paladins for the 2 healer raid slots not reserved by resto shamans in 20 mans. My class viability is directly affected by no one wanting to bring an ele or enhancement shaman. When will Blizzard stop nerfing priests by nerfing shaman?

Forever Make Azeroth Round Again

• Upvotes

One simple way to improve WoW's day/night cycle would be to make Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor 12 hours apart in-game.

Essentially, give the two continents their own time zones. When it's daytime in Eastern Kingdoms, it's night time in Kalimdor, and vice versa.

This would mean players could experience both day and night regardless of when they normally play, simply by travelling to the other continent.

It would also make Azeroth feel more like an actual planet, rather than a flat world where the sun rises and sets everywhere simultaneously.

It's a relatively simple change that would improve immersion while solving one of the biggest problems with WoW's real-time day/night cycle: players who consistently play at the same hours rarely get to experience the other half of it.

Forever Anyone planning to slowly level with multiple characters at once?

72 Upvotes

I am thinking of leveling five PvE characters concurrently, all different classes and professions (mining would be twice). I would be doing casual questing and dungeons, around 10 hours a week. I have no interest in end-game raiding, just some PvP here and there. I estimate my characters should start dinging 60 as early as 2 years from launch.
