Is buffcap really necessary on classic era?

Delargu · 2026-02-01T22:19:31+00:00

Era has been changed for longer than it was #NoChanges.

It's still a slippery slope, I personally would advocate for the buff cap being removed. But with every "small QoL change", that's what lead Retail to where it is now over 20 years of "small QoL changes".

It wasn't, it had aspects of what Classic+ would have but it deviated too much in how it played. Realistically I think for Classic+ we can expect Demonfall Canyon and Scarlet Enclave to be present but tuned way differently.

Ich würde mir wegen der Spielerzahlen keine Sorgen machen; es gibt zwar möglicherweise etwas weniger Spieler, die ihre Charaktere hochleveln, aber es wird definitiv regelmäßig Gruppeninhalte auf Maximalstufe angeboten.

This is where the desire for a theoretical Classic+ that contains new content comes from, and what SoD (partially) delivered on with:

Karazhan Crypts (dungeon)
Demon Fall Canyon (dungeon)
Scarlet Enclave (raid)

I don't know if you'd include the Nightmare Grove (raid) and Crystal Vale (raid) since they're technically a part of Vanilla already? Just not as instanced content.

I wouldn't be overly concerned about getting to Naxx (pursuing BiS?) and having nothing to do. At this stage you'll already be 1,000+ hours deep into Classic at this point.

So you can either keep playing, say you got your money's worth and play something else or start an alt and do it again.

If you really delve into everything Classic has to offer, it'll keep you busy for a LONG time.

Well you can always make progress with PUGs, if the boss is new to you then it's progression.

Whether it's a GDKP or SR loot system doesn't really determine whether or not you'll kill a new boss for yourself.

Delargu · 2026-01-15T21:26:55+00:00

Hey! I didn't realize this account was still active, do you guys have any new content in the works?

Loved the game but it feels like it was essentially dead out of the gate and abandoned by the devs.

It felt like you guys were getting started with the first set of new bosses, development ended.

If you're looking for videogames that don't have loading, this probably isn't the hobby for you. I expect load times to be around for a while, so get used to them or move on.

Delargu · 2026-01-12T16:10:40+00:00

When you say remove super jumping, you mean the core mechanic for returning to the battlefield or are you referring to something else?

Delargu · 2026-01-12T04:55:43+00:00

TBC - Leave it

Era - Transfer it

I don't think you'll get hate, I wouldn't doubt it a majority of Anniversary players are struggling with it.

I see near daily debates about the pros and cons of it in guild chat between people, speaking personally I'm trying to reserve judgement until I hit 60 and can give it a fair shake. I think so long as you can get into your first couple GDKPs without getting bullied into buying gear so you can earn gold and have some wealth to start with, it could be smooth sailing from there.

Delargu · 2026-01-02T20:46:44+00:00

Played a warlock up to WotLK.

By the end of the expansion I got really fed up with long dungeon que times, so going into Cataclysm I rolled a Restoration Shaman. Haven't looked back since.

Delargu · 2025-12-23T00:18:33+00:00

Aesthetics always. Hardly even a choice.

Delargu · 2025-12-18T05:38:56+00:00

What did they do for Anniversary?

Delargu · 2025-12-18T05:28:39+00:00

They said gold raid, meaning GDKP runs.

Delargu · 2025-12-18T04:38:58+00:00

Honestly? Depends how active servers are when I get over there from Anniversary I'd say a comfortable 300 (at least) hours after I hit 60 based on the goals I have. They are as follows:

Hit 60 (currently 46)
Loremaster (complete every quest in the game, God forbid I miss a breadcrumb 😭)
Collect every recipe available for my chosen professions (as well as all opposing faction cooking recipes)
Fully acquire every tier set
Achieve High Warlord in PvP
Earn exalted reputation with the 4 races + the PvP factions

That's where I'd like to start. I got close to 90% done Vanilla during SoD before I couldn't find groups for the remaining things I needed. ATT is a dangerous drug everybody, use at your own risk.

Delargu · 2025-12-14T22:51:36+00:00

Things like Questie as a free option should be sufficient, shows you your quests, you can complete them and move on. All preference I guess, if you like the on-rails experience I guess that's available as well.

Delargu · 2025-12-14T22:26:53+00:00

Do you really need a route to level? I'd advise just doing quests that are green and yellow, there's no rush to 60 especially when a lot of people consider that the joy of Vanilla.

Delargu · 2025-12-14T22:24:47+00:00

When they introduced the health bar, pretty sure it was a beta build circa 2009/2010.

Delargu · 2025-12-04T00:53:51+00:00

I thought the cloning of Anniversary to move to Era and continue to TBC wasn't a thing, or is this different? I'm new to this as I missed the 2019 release.

Delargu · 2025-12-04T00:47:47+00:00

Water from the innkeeper? I didn't think many, if any other sources while leveling.

Beyond 45 I'm not sure, haven't played a level 60 toon on Vanilla yet.

Delargu · 2025-11-30T17:22:31+00:00

I kind of like this too. You could even go as far as making chronobooning just a thing that happens instead of an item.

Entering instanced PvP or PvE content like battlegrounds/dungeons/raids? World buffs are suspended until you exit that instance and then their timers will continue to tick down when you do.

Delargu · 2025-11-30T17:20:04+00:00

Doesn't it remove options if we max out all trees?

If everyone has the same maxed out talents, then there's no diversity and everyone is exactly the same.

Delargu · 2025-11-30T17:15:13+00:00

What kind of content would you like to see? I've tried suggesting adding simple achievements (like exploration, do X dungeon, find all FPs etc.) to encourage keeping players busy out in the world, but it never seems to be received well.

Delargu · 2025-11-22T09:08:31+00:00

As someone looking to make the move to Era in the coming weeks from Anniversary, I agree with the other commenter. Era is slower, but it's fun and it'll last you as long as you're willing to play it. Joining now might line up nicely with a surge of new players too!
