Something to do between raids. I fell for the vanilla meme and quickly there was nothing at all to do other than to wait for the next raid, preferably logged off so your buffs don't expire.

I think most would consider almost any changes to be the opposite of the entire point.
However some small things wouldn't be game breaking or game changing and pretty inconsequential.
>combat dummies in capitols
>barber shop (NOT transmog)
>functioning summoning stones outside of dungeons (added in tbc pre-patch).
Those are off the top of my head, but it does feel like a slippery slope in some ways and my default answer would be "no changes".
It's not a huge leap from training dummies to extra mailboxes, then suddenly after nu-blizz performs extensive market research we end up with reduced respec fees, dual spec, LFD, etc.
I think a few minor tweaks are ok but even something small like giving paladins crusader strike (which still wouldn't make ret viable) would create spergouts in the intended audience.

As a warlock, summoning stones really put a damper on summoning money.

If blizzard actually did make servers with older versions of wow i would want them to do a progression server starting with early patches of vanilla wow before battlegrounds and honor were a thing then progressivly updating the games major patches a little faster than it it progressed officially back in the day.

>What features from the modern wow would you want to see on the official legacy servers?
Support for new models. I think, thats it.

Isnt blizzard not even considering "legacy"servers per say and is doing some sort of harder mode of their "relevant"content? Like a regular wow server but no account wide mounts/toys, no dungeon finder, enemies are harder, leveling is harder, no flying. I would sub for that.

>>383501754
>No inbuild questhelper
As long as it is optional i dont see a problem.
>>
>>383502032
raiding is a small part of vanilla wow though. A lot of people i knew only raided back in the day to get gear so they could have fun world pvping and dicking around with meme builds in 5 mans.
>>
>>383502682
Yeah, I agree it could be a little dumb but it at least technically happened while vanilla was still live so thought I'd include it as an option.
I doubt official legacy would be a thing anyhow until retail is in "official" maintenance mode, and even then it would either be as an afterthought or with so much "improvements" that it wouldn't be anything people would like.
For modern players it would be too broken, for purists it would have too many QoL additions, etc.
I could be wrong, who knows.

Summoning stones were in BC, not vanilla, and that's a retarded idea. It makes Warlocks' summon spell much less valuable.

I love the idea of a progression server, definitely.
From your quote, they had tossed out a "pristine server" idea in the fallout of the nostalrius shut down and meeting with blizzard, but it was quickly backtracked on as "just throwing it out there" as it got a lot of hate on the forums.
It was viewed as pretty half-assed, as simply removing dungeon finder and disabling heirlooms doesn't suddenly make the old world "vanilla" or even that much more difficult.
Still was interesting that they were even throwing an idea out there that previously would be unheard of. I doubt it would be a popular thing as it wouldn't satisfy current players or legacy crusaders. On it's surface its not the worst thing to fuck around with tho.

>>
>>383501403
I don't understand why people act like the combat was better (or even good) in vanilla. Half the specs have 1 - 2 button rotations, and any complicated rotation is a result of specific mechanics working in awkward ways.
Some classes were missing vital spells that would make them have a rotation, and some would just autoattack and wait for procs.

Vanilla combat was complete and utter garbage. Raid mechanics were also far less diverse and interesting, and often required guess work to figure out how they work, rather than reading tooltips.
>>
>>383501754
>mounts page
what for? you had one mount at lvl 40 and one mount at level 60 if you had money which not everyone had.
Then MAYBE a third one as a drop or pvp reward. If you need a mount page you're the 0.1%

vanilla pvp was unbalanced shit.
I'd bet money that most people that want a vanilla server played one of the ~3 good classes that stomped pvp and pve, and not the pile of ones that were useless in all situations.

>shaman one shotting on rng

The only fun part of pvp in vanilla was raiding cities and the lack of flying. I did enjoy that, and do to some extent miss the city raids, but I wouldn't trade balance and depth for it.

Mace specialization talents added a chance to stun, the unstoppable force was a mace with a chance to stun. There were no diminishing returns.
>>
>>383505917
Mace specs were terrible in Vanilla and were good in BC, Enhance shamans were the most easily kiteable class in the game, diminishing returns were added halfway through vanilla, there were ticks every 2 seconds or so with a chance to break sap and sheep, pvp trinket was added with the honor update, and gurubashi arena, fishing tournament, capture-the-towers, and the weird silithus shit were all pretty much pvp minigames, no matter how terrible they were.

Vanilla had like, one or two things better than retail. Combat and raiding is not one of them. It's mostly the difficulty and quests that aren't hand-held. Also, drops actually mattering and not just being stats you replace.

You're fucking kidding me, hunters are one of the absolute best classes in 1 on 1 pvp in vanilla. If a warrior gets the jump and charges you, you just feign death + freezing trap, run away, aimed shot, get intercepted, concussive shot, run away again, concussive shot, and then they can't do shit for another ~30 seconds until intercept comes back off cd assuming they don't pop bloodrage and cancel it to get out of combat and charge again, and that's the absolute worst case scenario out of all the classes.

no, the worst case scenario is they get rooted or snared and their attacker sits in their dead zone like I said earlier.

>>383507918
Hunters are considered a good 1v1 class, even with the deadzone. Just because you had some issues doesn't mean fucking shit.
Every class had a spec that was usable for 1v1, some were obviously better than others, and the real issue was that often that spec was so niche that it wasn't good for anything besides duels anyhow.
The point is there were options, no matter how inconvenient they might have been.

That's neato burrito that you were a shitty hunter and your opinion is very interesting.
>>
>>383507918

8 actually, melee attacks get at you within 5ya so you would need to stay between 6 and 8.

Let me guess, you played a hunter and had no idea what you're doing. Let me walk you through the druid matchup.
1. Druid casts roots on hunter with a ~4s cast time because they're being attacked by both the hunter and a 1.3atk/s broken tooth. Druid can dodge this with natures swiftness, but then will never be able to get a healing touch off.
2. Hunter pops pvp trinket to get out of roots and continutes shooting the druid.
3. Druid casts roots again as they continue to get pummeled.
4. Druid attempts to walk into the hunter's deadzone, but by the time they get there the hunter has almost no time left on roots because it's in the second phase of diminishing returns. The druid has time to cast maybe one spell while being torn into by broken tooth.

FTFY.

They were garbage if they didn't have their traps and flare up before hand. I never played a hunter in vanilla, I played druid and rogue and I operated in that dead zone. You didn't even need to gouge a hunter because you could just strafe into the deadzone while re-positioning.

In a duel they were definitely hard to beat in duels and they were godly in BG's where they could backline.

I'll admit to using reflectors for the edge in duels but that shit was never needed out in the world.

Clearcasting was mana reduction, mate, not pushback prevention. I did forget that druids have a talent to prevent it on entangling roots, but they're still fucked for healing touch, wrath, and starfire, and they still get ONE (1) 6-second time window to both get in position and do something until the hunter has free reign.

And as far as your "they were grabage if they didn't have their traps and flare up beforehand," it's complete bullshit because you can put a trap up with FD, and rogues can't trinket out of freezing trap. PVP-specced equal-geared hunters still win even if they get opened on because they can still create and maintain distance.
>>
>>383509472
BDO is an AFK simulator and little else. Don't be fooled, trust me on this one.
XIV is basically weeb WoW. Does aesthetics and story a little better, everything else is garbage. People are playing it because it's flavour of the month and it's not cool to play WoW anymore. Well, that, and they're weebs. Strange how they shit-talk wow so much when they're playing a carbon copy, with catgirls instead of orcs.
WoW is okay. It's been worse, Legion's actually been kind of decent, the only thing people really don't like is the artifact weapon, which is just the worst decision they've made in a while. The game itself is fun, though, if you overlook those things. The class campaigns are pretty cool.

The rage that was spewed from Blizz shutting down popular private servers has abated.

They don't have autists flooding them with demands for private servers anymore. Therefore, it's never happening. I was all in favour of official vanilla servers, but in the end, Blizzcucks were right, vanillafags just didn't keep enough pressure on Blizzard and it blew over. Showing that there isn't really enough interest.

Kill yourself.

Any game with an open world kills most of the world if you add in quest markers and shit. If you are told exactly where to go every time, you might as well build a linear corridor instead. The fun of open worlds come from exploration, and if you're going to decide to completely remove the need for exploration, you have no need for an open world.

I imagine there are a ton of people who ruined BotW for themselves by looking every single sidequest or secret from the internet, simply because they were too lazy to spend a little time looking for it themselves. It's like they willingly turn everything in a game into a chore just to get the carrot that the game offers for doing it, rather than enjoying the game itself.

I tend to agree but honestly am not that sure anymore. The "pristine servers" idea was basically a throwaway that they later backtracked on, but that even being a thing was retarded.
Obviously it's all ultimately about money for potential legacy servers in general, and if they determine that they'd be more successful with tons of QoL features added then they would likely go with it.
I'm hopeful that they would (rightfully) assume that that wouldn't satisfy either audience but who knows, they've made some really dumb decisions in the last 4 years and often double down on those.
It makes me think that they're either wildly out of touch or that WoW is currently an after-thought at blizzard. And with declining subs but the 100% big income every two years with xpac box purchases and extensive time-gating to keep the dudes who never unsub around, maybe being an afterthought is justified.

Graphics settings, like you can turn it down to Vanilla myeyeshurt mode, WotLK, WoD models, ect.

AoE loot.

Conjuring Tables for Water / Food, Warlock not having to farm a billion shards, Warlock healthstone table, Warlock summoning door. Still require shards but you'll only need like 10 shards a raid night instead of 50.

Link the Mage table into the level 60 water quest or maybe make the table something you can get from Hydraxis rep, ect.

Addon support. Cast Bars and DoT timers built the fuck into the game. DoT / HoT limit removed or increases which they did later on in Vanilla anyway.

Legion LFG function, the one you manually have to use to find people.

Balanced racials.

I wish just one person would admit they don't actually want Vanilla back. They want to be 15 and not a care in the world before MOM and DAD started saying "Son you are 27 you need to get a fucking job holy shit move out"

>Purists think QoL buffs are bad
>QoL buffs added in TBC and WotLK, expansions considered superior to Vanilla no less

Give me a decent reason why AoE loot shouldn't be in Vanilla.

Give me a decent reason why Vanilla Gryphon rides should take two-three times as long as they do now.

Give me a decent reason why Mage and Warlock need to login 15 minutes before everyone else to make food / water for the raid or collect soul shards for summons / cookies.

QoL is about reducing wasted time, and time is money friend.

i'd like to see WoW die because it ruined the entire MMORPG genre for as long as it exists; nobody wants to make an actually good, unique MMO anymore, they just copy WoW to try and get some of them WoWbucks.

funfact:
if wow dies then the industry will just try to make ANOTHER WOW instead of improve in any other way.

You may not like it but WoW is what PEAK MMO performance looks like.

>>383501403
Model updates and reputiation not getting deminishing returns (or whatever you wanna call it) upon lvl gain

then why is it worse than:

dark age of camelot
anarchy online
meridian 59
and shadowbane?

>>383514834
You're not making any argument at all though.
Gryphon rides being shorter = better gamplay? Why not just give everyone instant teleport fast travel.
Mages need to create food and water? Why is that a bad thing?
Literally the only thing I agree with is that Warlock soul shards should stack, rather than taking up your whole inventory.

Preperation for a raid made it feel more rewarding and more fun.

No i don't think its perfect, but all of the suggestions here are from dumb WoTLK babbies.
What would make vanilla better?
>Better PvP system, More rewarding to play for non-hardcore rankers, More rewarding to play premade vs premade for hardcore rankers. The current PvP system just makes hardcore rankers stomping pugs all day and there aren't enough good pvp loot rewards for the non-hardcore.
>Better non-raid content/loot from dungeons (The tier 0.5 sets were a good step for this)

Enemy cast bars. There were mods for that, though. In fact, I think one of them was called exactly that.

There must always be a WoW. Even after wow dies something will take it's place, then we will be seeing the 'new wow killer' that copies it.
>>
>>383517824
WoW 2.

Poll features like osrs. There are some retarded things about vanilla that had been said in this thread that definitely should change. But poll everything

>383516452
And this is a working downloadable retail mod?, it looks fucking great why didn't we get this.

Yeah also no reason to not keep poop like:
>LFG tool
>achievements
>faster leveling
>cataclysm changes in the world
>welfare epics
>flying mounts
>daily quests
I can't properly raid if these things aren't in. It just takes too much time otherwise. My wife's son doesn't let me play enough.
>>
>>383518727
Yes, but keep in mind you can get banned for using these. It's not a mod in the same sense as addons. You'll need to create an account on darknest (it's the first result on google) and you'll easily be able to find his thread in the model editing section. His username is shearx.

No wotlk features
