In WoW Classic everything should be as it used to be, but the corpses are different

The corpses in WoW Classic will behave differently than before. The reason for this is that some players would otherwise do nasty things with them.

To ensure that fans of World of Warcraft Classic had all their questions answered before the launch, the developers organized an “Ask me Anything” (AMA) on Reddit. Here, anyone could ask their question about Classic or the redevelopment of the game and, with a bit of luck, receive an answer. We have summarized the most interesting news from it, such as why corpses behave differently in Classic.

Skeletons disappear faster: Some players noticed in the beta that skeletons vanish quickly. When a character dies and the player runs as a ghost to their corpse, it leaves behind a skeleton. In the past, these skeletons would remain for several hours. Especially in front of raid bosses, it was common to see 100 or more skeletons lined up.

However, in WoW Classic, the skeletons disappear faster. The reason for this is that some players used the skeletons to write messages on the ground, for example in the middle of a capital city. There, it was common to write advertisements for gold sellers or place insults on the ground. To prevent this from happening again, skeletons disappear faster than they did in Vanilla.

Do you already know which class you will play in WoW Classic?

Priests had a silly bug: When rebuilding WoW Classic, there was a funny bug with priests. If both priests use mind control on each other in PvP at the same time, a glitch occurred. Although the spell was cancelled on both priests, the camera remained focused on the wrong player. This caused Priest A to no longer see their character but Priest B, who was controlled by the other player.

Hunters were the most difficult class: When asked what was the most challenging to restore, the developers responded directly with the “Hunter class.” While they did not go into details, the class was probably considered one of the most complicated classes in Classic, at least regarding its mechanics behind the scenes.

Something similar had been hinted at by Blizzard in the past when they could not restore “Eyes of the Beast,” a popular hunter ability.

Otherwise, there were only a few new revelations in the AMA. If you are still interested in all the developers’ answers, you can find them in our sources.
