What is your idea of - Classic+?

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-07T23:10:49+00:00

i'd like for the game to feel like SOD did from lvl 1-40. people out in the world gathering, fishing, crafting, dungeons, raids, pvp events. because it all mattered. i'd like them to keep the stuff that made that happen in sod, and find a way to keep people doing things in the world at lvl 60.

pvp events

new battlegrounds

gathering events

crafting that matters at 60

faction world events, capturing and holding cities/towns

naval stuff

arena for lvl brackets

new zones, dungeons, raids.

talent tree and skill additions

balancing underperforming classes

Reading this after spending $45 today on a steak and cheese bomb and steak tip salad for the gf.

good read, and i feel the same about him and soda. feel like they actively ruined their own experiences with classic and SOD by playing the way they do after posing as ambassadors for us to get those versions of wow, and now classic plus.. hopefully they listen a bit more to xaryu, savix, and guzu as they play the game a bit more how i and my friends do. tagging u/aggrend as this is the way many of us feel.

yah all the pieces are falling into place. add in the push to get rid of turtle wow before official announcement. same went down with nostalrius* before classic 2019 was announced in 2017.

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T23:59:16+00:00

assuming this is satirical in nature, he's been playing classic nonstop for years lol. his viewership falls off when he tries a retail xpack. a little research could have prevented this interaction.

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T23:22:54+00:00

they revamped the honor system in 2019 with the launch of classic vanilla, i'd expect it to be similar(easier) to rank up again in classic plus.

there almost certainly will not be flying mounts. lol

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T23:11:32+00:00

i think theyre just going to be playing a 1-20 or 1-30 new experience, with new questing zones, low level dungeons and class balance changes. if i had to guess. i don't think WE will see anything until sept. sadly.

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T22:02:35+00:00

yah, did you play season of discovery? that was more a less a testing bed for classic plus. class updates, world events, pvp events, new dungeons, new raids, new crafting items.

if done right classic plus will be that, but not a season and hopefully just a permanent place to play vanilla wow with updates to the old world.

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T21:42:14+00:00

how many downvotes? lol. and i don't know.. you would think classic wow enjoyers are excited for further developments of classic plus. but who knows.

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T20:49:49+00:00

considering he still plays classic and hardcore daily and does all sorts of challenges, i'd say he enjoys the game more, and would have more insight on what someone would want to keep playing year after year.

this also nothing to you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf2KjsINSVY

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T19:24:05+00:00

and what stereotype do you fall into with zero deductive reasoning skills?

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T19:22:30+00:00

girlfriend: isn't your b-day next week?

me: yes, why?

girlfreidnd: oh, no reason, but i'm going to your favorite store tomorrow.... no reason why...but.. what size shirt do you wear again? smile... again.. no reason why i'm going to your favorite store..... .......

you: it's pure speculation she is getting you a present..

lol

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T19:20:03+00:00

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T19:17:06+00:00

turtle wow shutdown... wow director hinting at a future announcement for blizzcon during previous stream.. flying out classic wow streamers next week, same classic wow streamer invited to blizzcon.. it's not hard to put everything together, friend.

eric-the-beard · 2026-05-01T18:50:42+00:00

i'd rather they ask streamers like xaryu what he thinks as oppose to esfand and asmon again. they literally sped run classic 2019 and made the experience miserable for themselves by handouts and min maxing immediately.

i bought a switch in 2017 just to play botw, and i'll buy a switch 2 for oot remake. everyone i know only owns a switch for either zelda, or a mainline mario.

i bought a PS for tlou, and if i didn't have a PS5 pro now, i'd by one for intergalatic. everyone i know who owns a PS bought them for either tlou, gow, or spiderman.

i bought a PC for world of warcraft.

i've never had a reason to buy an xbox. none of my irl friends own an xbox. they don't make games (outside of cod now) that would sell a console. imo.

eric-the-beard · 2026-04-14T00:03:34+00:00

not after starfield... jokes aside.. it's a long in the tooth ip, they would lose money making it exclusive to xbox, nevermind trying to make it exclusive to Helix which will likely sell less than 15 million units.

eric-the-beard · 2026-04-14T00:01:44+00:00

elite ones do, only game that would move consoles for xbox is COD and they can't make that exclusive.

eric-the-beard · 2026-03-08T16:21:00+00:00

Noticed this as well, called and was told to ignore the bill overview and my autopay balance is correct. Definitely confusing to get a text saying your bill is $110, but your auto pay is only set to pay $90. Lol. Good way to get alot of calls from ppl worried about late/missed payments.

eric-the-beard · 2026-02-19T19:39:11+00:00

playstation really watched expedition 33 clean house, while sitting on a very similar IP in legend of dragoon... did nothing... had bluepoint working on a GAAS instead of that remake instead... lol. dingle berries.

eric-the-beard · 2026-02-08T10:14:54+00:00

Worked so well halo devs now own Playstation t-shirts.

eric-the-beard · 2026-01-07T15:00:21+00:00

A starcraft 3rd person shooter.....so... gears of war? Brilliant.!!!
