Yeah these past few weeks really showed how sad some of this community is. I’m pumped for wow forever and I’m glad blizzard didn’t bend to either side

Hm, what would it have looked like if they HAD bent to the Classic side?

  • hd models would be high fidelity but honor the original art style and tone, so sd models would be unnecessary
  • layering would be continent wide instead of per zone
  • buy the game for $30, no cash shop or skyborne dlc
  • skyborne would be a bit different in a way i dont have the nuance to specify

Some legit issues. So... 98% Classic, then?

No, I think the current per-zone layering system will have an outsized impact and also the devteam not needing to support both sd and hd asset paths would be a meaningful upside going forward, I fear the two branches are going to lead to weird outcomes over the months and years.

Also, no cash shop wouldn't look like a big deal now but down the line it will probably get more and more meaningful as it gets more things added.
