In WoW Classic everything was still beautiful. Or was it not? You will surely dislike these 5 things about Classic.
With BlizzCon 2017, discussions about Vanilla servers for World of Warcraft have been reignited. Blizzard plans to provide some “Classic” servers in the future, where players can play a version of WoW before “The Burning Crusade”.
However, while many players look nostalgically at the past, they may have forgotten numerous negative aspects of the game in its original form. We take a look at 5 negative aspects that would return with “Classic”.
Raid Lockouts – Entire Raids Locked
I fondly remember the 40-man raids like Molten Core or Blackwing Lair. But the system had its pitfalls. Because back then, raids had a fixed ID as soon as you entered them. This ID meant that you could only be in that version of the raid until the next Wednesday.
With 40 players, there was often conflict and frustration. If someone wanted to “get back” at their old raid, they simply placed their character in the corresponding raid instance. If the other 39 players wanted to return to “their ID”, then they could not enter because the raid was already “in use”.
In the past, there was also no security prompt with a running timer that you would be assigned to an ID. You simply received the ID of the group leader or the first player who entered a raid. If that player had already been in another group – well, then 39 other players had an ID they couldn’t use, and the raid week was over.
Sure, such a system required a lot of trust among the players. But mistakes occurred every now and then – and they were annoying.
