Why am I having a lot enjoyable – The Burning Campaign Classic

In basic vs Retail..

and it’s not even shut…and I’m not simply speaking about boring prepatch…general TWW was okay however TBC has been a blast…and I’m not even 30 but. I assume it’s the Nostalgia of getting to run in every single place, the questing, revisiting beforehand forgotten zones and so forth. I’d simply play midnight casually (since I already purchased the enlargement months in the past) and focus extra on TBC basic when it absolutely launches on Thursday.

Because it looks like an MMO reasonably than a Massively Single-Player recreation that Retail is, exterior of… Mythic Double-Plus.

I’m in the identical boat. I’m far more excited for TBC than I’m Midnight. And sure, I did play TBC again within the day so it’s not prefer it’s new to me but it surely’ll be very nice to correctly play it once more after like 19 years.

I simply have zero motivation to even log in to retail in the meanwhile. Been having an absolute blast on anniversary!

Are they simply screwing up retail on objective? I don’t sustain with retail in any respect in any means however I heard the chars have like no buttons now

Classes bought simplified. Which was wanted for a few of them, however they went too far for some. Feral is principally utterly gutted. It’s actually extra enjoyable and sophisticated enjoying feral in TBC pre-patch proper now than it looks like in Midnight.

They additionally screwed up addons, so many addons not work and those that do have limitations now. For instance no extra weakauras. Many specs haven’t any technique to observe sure buffs or debuffs anymore. Can’t observe kitty moonfire for one.

So yeah a mixture of the spec I’ve mained actually since TBC being gutted, and having to redo almost my total UI with new addons simply to get again a few of the performance I had earlier than, makes me utterly unexcited for Midnight.

Even somebody I do know irl wished to get again into the sport however once they logged in and realized they’d must pay round 60k gold to re-transmog their characters as a result of the pre-patch wiped all of it out, they determined to cancel their sub on the spot. 60k gold won’t sound like a lot however if you happen to’re a returning participant who didn’t have a lot gold to start with that’s out of attain.

It’s only a fixed stream of errors like this including up over time. And it’s not just like the beta testers didn’t depart suggestions on this. Months of suggestions just for Blizzard to set issues reside in a nasty state.

Bro.

Rotations in basic are actually one button on a few of them.

Classic gamers will crap on retail for being “simplified and easy” then discover pleasure enjoying frost mage in Molten Core.

Baffling.

Classic is an MMO.

Retail is an arcade.

Apparently you want MMOs.

It’s thoughts blowing they removed UI addons.

I get the entire DBM/Foji raid addons, however UI addons makes zero sense.

I used to be enjoying TWW casually once I began on period then ultimately anniversary. Then I simply stopped enjoying retail utterly. Too a lot occurring there.

Nah persons are simply incapable of pondering long run

Pruning and breaking addons to allow them to combine them into the sport/cease designing round addons are good for brand new gamers or gamers who haven’t performed for a very long time and are eager about making an attempt the sport

wait folks really play basic variations of the sport?

mehhhhhhhh retail remains to be enjoyable and a mmo.

I figured it has little or no to do with retail vs basic. If retail have been legion proper now, it will dumpster tbc in each doable means. Things simply went downhill since bfa. And midnight is like your hottie in highschool however grew to become a cr*ck addict, you simply don’t need to contact retail anymore lol.

Don’t blame you one bit. Retail, as others have mentioned, feels extra like an arcade recreation than an MMO RPG. For most of us older gamers that sort of recreation design and every little thing being instanced simply isn’t for us. Their audience is zoomers and other people with very quick consideration spans that must go from one to the following briefly order.

I used to be a retail addict from Legion via very early Dragonflight. After BFA the one factor retaining me enjoying was arenas and pvp normally. When SoD got here out I give up altogether to play it as my fundamental recreation as a result of it felt infinitely extra enjoyable than retail. Even with the unbalanced PvP it was a blast, particularly doing the WPvP occasions in Ashenvale in section 1 and a couple of. I’ve by no means had as a lot enjoyable in WoW as I did in SoD and SoD was actually not excellent. I had loads of issues I didn’t like about it. The factor of it’s that it was a contemporary expertise, the place there was a lot to find and discover, but it surely was all wrapped up in a well-recognized world. Very completely different from pure nostalgia by itself.

I haven’t had retail put in since SoD and since SoD has ended I’ve been enjoying Anniversary realms and don’t plan to look again. I began this Anniversary mage when the guild I used to be in beat the Scarlet Enclave raid. Once it was on farm I simply stopped raiding altogether to deal with my Anniversary character. I’ll play Anniversary realms till Classic+ comes out. If C+ sucks I’ll go proper again to Anniversary realms. I’d additionally 100% play a contemporary SoD realm in the event that they ever determined to present us one. There have been issues I didn’t take pleasure in about SoD however they might very simply treatment that by simply basing the contemporary realm off of the final phases modifications (other than rune distributors ofc). That means we don’t should see a 6 month section 3 and incursions will probably be dailies once more and never a viable leveling/gold making technique once more. Those 2 issues alone actually put a damper on SoD. The fixes they put in have been too late, however they have been completely the proper repair.

Here’s to hoping they at the least give us a TBC Era, and possibly a Wrath Era if we’re fortunate. That means we have now one thing to fall again to if the C+ journey goes south.
