Definitely worth giving another shot. There is a exp boost from 1-60 so the grind isn't too bad. Phase 8 is just around the corner with the brand new scarlet crusade raid along with a whole new zone Avalon. They are also adding a bunch of quests to make zones like Hyjal actually have quests and story in them.
Classic + will be classic wow with an idea in mind to balance all classes and specs for pvp and pve content.
Classic+ is adding content in the spirit of Classic. This upcoming Scarlet Crusade raid is very much in the spirit of classic. Adding questlines and stories to unused zones is the spirit of classic.
And what are you talking about? Every class and spec is viable in both PvP & PvE in SoD.
Imagine classic but with devs that still do week to week patches..
You mean SoD where they do updates every week like they recently made nightmare dragon world bosses relevant again by updating their gear drops. While also giving all the nightmare dragons unique abilities to SoD.
Like how they added Karazhan Crypts a unique dungeon exclusive to SoD?
It sounds like you don't have a clue about SoD but you're just hating for the sake of it.
Phase 8 is the start of classic+ whether you like it or not.
I don't know if I'd call it the "start of classic+" but I would say its the closest we have ever gotten, and the success or failure of phase 8 will be directly influential on whether we ever do get classic+.
But calling it "the start" implies there is something after phase 8, that phase 8 kicks off the next set of phases of classic+, and that isn't the case. SoD ends after phase 8. Aggrend has been clear on that.
Whatever classic+ looks like, if we ever get it, will undoubtedly be significantly influenced by phase 8, but phase 8 is not the start of classic+.
What's with this delusion that the developers dream version of classic plus is a simple class rebalance?? Go play era for the rest of your lives and let us enjoy cool new stuff.
Dude it's fantastic. I was a non-believer that bordered a hater, but now I'm so convinced that this is the best version of WoW we've had since....... at least TBC classic.
Can I ask, why were you a hater before you even tried it? It feels like there's a huge amount of people here that feel that way and I genuinely do not understand it.
I wasn't a hater before I tried it. I was a hater because I was playing it and phase 3 was horrendous and ruined the game for me. I also hated how long phases 1 and 2 were. Frankly I hated the whole idea of having a below 60 level cap.
Got it, I personally had a ton of fun in phase 3 but understand there were things that turned people off from it. I thought phase 1 was well timed, but phase 2 was probably too long. Looking back, the later phases do feel a bit quick compared to the early ones, but I have been having a blast the past 3 phases regardless.
I physically cannot comprehend the idea of having a BFD, Gnomer, or ST patch that is longer than the Naxx patch. Iād consider it the dumbest decision Blizz has made since they overlapped Season of Mastery with Black Temple release
tbc classic with like a handful of changes , making things raid wide and not making almost all of us be lw , would be the game I'd want a forever server of.
Oh I definitely wouldnāt go that far haha. I would say MoP through Legion was peak wow and current retail is fantastic for casual players, itās never been better.
If you really only care about vanilla, SoD is definitely the way to go but the content is so easy it gets boring after a while.
Vanilla was always easy but it was punishing if someone made a mistake and that ādangerā aspect hasnāt been a thing in SoD.
Definitely give it a shot. The runes are all still there. There's a bit of stuff to learn. But ... there are plenty of guilds doing newbie friendly raids and content. There are a ton of ways to catch up on gear. It's also a ton of fun!

SoD is not only the best Wow I have experienced in years, it is the only thing keeping me alive
