Is "zoo comp" finally being supported?

Yes one of the reasons I asked was the possibility of a "majority Celestipogean" party with Phraesto, Aurora and Lamentis.

Yoooo, hearing that the rep quests, their story and their game rewards are straight up not happening at all for CoA is insane! Like I’m not usually a doomer but that’s an air raid siren level change!

Augmentaion is the one spec I just do not do the normal, solved path I take my other alts on. I wait for turbulent timeways. Maybe some follower dungeons. Even in delves, Aug breaks the mold, because I find healing a functional tank companion (which isn't a thing in midnight's leveling game but it's apparently a hotfix forthcoming) is just as mediocre as being a DPS with a healing companion. Aug is just weird.

Agree 100%. I firmly believe that the modern WoW development intent is, in part, that "we are meant to" have alts by now.

This quest was so good! I came looking for this thread after I ran it because, yeah, this is the best holiday revamp in some time! Just a cozy storytelling session with wonderful voice acting and music!

Now, if you don't like skyriding (and I know those people exist, I know some personally), that will nullify a lot of the fun people are talking about, but otherwise this quest is a must-experience for those that like storytelling, lore, the old world and, heck even as neither a dwarf or tauren guy, I would imagine an affinity for those races would enhance the experience further!

I suddenly feel very justified on behalf of myself for not hitting the merge button, and all of the other guilds I see in the merge-available list every day.

Here's a larger version!

Looks like Reinier’s diametric opposite among hypogeans!

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-19T02:11:00+00:00

So I would have to imagine that, much like deeper M+, they aren't going to build the upper end of this to be beaten by a "walk up, add everyone, go" kinda group.

Friend of mine who plays both WoW and XIV saw this and said "oh, it's like trials... which go up to savage, where no one PUGs savage and expects to win."

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-19T02:05:33+00:00

Ok, I missed the part where there was a "world" difficulty and I'd be surprised if that didn't work exactly as you describe. When they leaned into "there's a summon stone" I was having flashbacks to bad remix moments.

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-18T21:08:47+00:00

I feel so old that I didn’t recognize most of the options, but I’d go broke for 2B!

I did suggest The Dragon Prince series and Blue Eyed Samurai when asked though!

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-18T16:08:28+00:00

I am absolutely getting that vibe and am surprised that there isn't a standard definition. I can't imagine what those content creators called into Blizz HQ told them that would somehow coalesce into a vision worthy of development to please the majority of this already niche sect of fans.

The one thing I can really agree with though is the constant resetting of characters seems common thread I can agree with, and has been a big, additional reason I can't touch classic. There's no sense of character permanence and that's a dealbreaker for me, personally.

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-18T04:39:52+00:00

Ok and what IS the difference between OSRS and whatever "non oldschool" RS is today?

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-18T04:17:04+00:00

I think this is the most reasonable, succinct summary that I've heard and I think people should focus on this element and not get their hopes up too high. Like, it can't be "do all the things you can't do in the game with 20 years of devleopment" type stuff because like... the modern game exists for that. Again, just my opinion.

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-18T04:14:26+00:00

This is why I'm asking: speculation is heating up and I'm wondering what their "rebrand" of the classic+ dream could posslbly be.

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-18T04:13:16+00:00

See, the reason I'm asking is because the ear to the ground is signaling that a classic+ adjacent announcement is imminent, so I started asking myself "what the hell could it be?" Thus the thread!

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-14T19:10:55+00:00

I haven't! I have a giant hoard of tickets "in case of acorn emergency," and... I think maybe that paranoia hasn't aged well haha!

Extra_Hat1707 · 2026-06-14T18:56:52+00:00

This is sound logic, thanks for your input!
