>Scarlet Enclave raid

This would pretty much destroy the game instantly. Vanilla already has 7 raids you can do at level 60, there's no reason to add a new one. Especially knowing how incompetent modern Blizzard is. This scarlet raid would most likely be after Naxxramas and thus invalidate all the previous content and power creep destroy the whole game.
>>
>>577221368
This is the problem with any "classic+"

they would feel the need to add new "flashy" types of content like a new raid but it would just destroy the whole game and turn the game into retail where you only do the current raid of the current patch and the rest of the game means nothing

at least we have era and hardcore

>turn the game into retail where you only do the current raid of the current patch and the rest of the game means nothing
That's a personal choice; no one is stopping you from doing older content. Why don't you go run older raids?

>w-well the gear that drops from those raids is useless for me
Oh, so you refuse to do content unless it drops better gear than what you have currently? Congratulations, you are the problem. Everything you claim to hate about "retail" is a direct response to your playstyle where YOU decide that the only content you will engage with is what drops higher ilvl gear.

>>577238112
SoD solved this btw.
Old raids drop coins you trade for toys or loot boxes with materials in them.
Even with enclave out, people still constantly run MC, AQ, ZG, bwl. You can often get boosted by geared players in "coin runs" in MC.

>>577239080

>>
>>577238440
Kind of reminds me of MoP when everyone was chasing their legendary cloaks, high end geared players would still run old raids to min max their progress so you could basically join normal/heroic runs on your alts and get fed tons of gear the day you hit lvl cap.
>>
did Soddie do anything about weapon skill?
>>
>>577238440
and instead of doing something similar in tbc, e.g. with heroic badges that would encourage geared ppl to still run dungeons, they reward raid loggers even more with the pots for marks changes

absolute clown company, cameltoes gonna be shit 100%
>>
kinda weird how they never tried to make the china wotlk global
>>
>>577221630
The problem with a new raid that drops even better gear than t3 is that the numbers are getting astronical for the small hp everyone has. T3 was so strong and optimized that they cleared tbc raids with it. The only thing they can do is give it a ton of stamina, but that invalideates pvp gear. There is no winning move to expand what exists.
>>
>>577221368
>>577246289

Can't they just make harder raids than Naxx that give better gear? How did OSRS fix this problem?

>>577248001
>How did OSRS fix this problem?

osrs was destroyed within 2 years of it being out with insane power creep from new bosses and content that they added, the game came out in 2013 and was destroyed beyond repair by 2015 with the release of Zulrah

The only new raid content you could add into classic+/camelot is gear pieces that fill out voids/missing things, for example a relics/totem slots, ring/trinket that buffs a shit spec like boomie/ele/sp
>>
>>577251264
You can have new raids that have new type of gear requirements. in twow k40 the entire raid needed an arcane resist set, there was no way around it. You do other gimmicks like needing vampirism gear, or other shit like that. You can have things grow horizontally.
>>
>>577251479
You could add mini raids with 1-2 bosses that drop new stuff for professions, dual spec unlock token, mount, consumable packs or tokens to buy them with. Raids can be good content even without gear drops.
>>
>>577251264
iirc OSRS released 4 more raids after that and its bussin

This is just tbc content being a joke. There is no limit to how good gear can be
> The only thing they can do is give it a ton of stamina, but that invalideates pvp gear.
Make new pvp gear
>>
>>577255383
its not possible to die in hardcore, especially if you level professions and use consumes.
>>
>>577246289
So redo raid gear scaling to accommodate newer raids.

I started octowow as a twow refugee who got bored of tbc, but idk guys. Feels pointless to commit with Camelot so close.

That was an issue of early tbc itemization being so bad, they had to buff all kara gear to be better than dungeon blues. I don't think we saw this iteration of t4 in classic.

you can make later sets give set bonuses like vampiric touch, crusader strike etc. you dont have to keep pumping stats and damage higher

Why would you press crusader strike if its not going to increase your damage? Obviously it's going to push damage higher
Why, if you acknowledge that Ret needs crusader strike, are you putting it on gear players wont always have?

what does disneyfication mean
>>
>>577287225
"Disney bloat" in **World of Warcraft (WoW)** refers to the perception that the game has become overly "disnified" or softened in tone, deviating from its darker, more serious, and war-driven roots. Players who use this term feel that **modern WoW** has incorporated too many quirky, whimsical, or lighthearted elements, making it feel more like a Disney-style fantasy than the gritty, dangerous world it originally portrayed.

In the early versions of WoW and its predecessor games (*Warcraft* series), the lore and atmosphere were much more grim, focusing on brutal wars, political intrigue, and mature themes like betrayal, death, and survival. However, over time, players believe that the game's tone shifted to appeal to a broader, more family-friendly audience. This shift can include:

1. **Cutesy characters and races** (e.g., Pandaren, Vulpera) that feel more cartoonish or playful.
2. **Goofy quests or NPCs** that break immersion or have a comical tone instead of maintaining the game's darker atmosphere.
3. **Bright, colorful visuals** that contrast with the grimmer aesthetic of classic WoW.
4. **Simplification of storylines and gameplay** to appeal to a wider and more casual audience.

To these players, the game's overall atmosphere has been diluted by these elements, making it feel more like a mainstream, sanitized fantasy world—akin to Disney productions—rather than the intense and dangerous world of war it used to be. This concept of "Disney bloat" captures the feeling that the original essence of *Warcraft* has been watered down by an excess of "soft" or "quirky" content.

"Disneyfication" refers to the game becoming more cartoony and losing its edge. Going all the way back to a cata questline and removing the word "bitch." Turning sexy paintings into fruit. The whole story being reduced to the power of friendship. Everyone just handwaving the warcrimes previously committed. You could also call it "PG-ifying" but since most Disney films are G/PG it's the same concept.
>>
>>577292664
The clip should have shown the male orc and tauren walk animations. They jump from side to side and it's really annoying. Not as bad on the smaller races.

>>577292664
both look "disney" by that definition, thoughever
>>
>>577293625
Correct. That's quite literally what was said about the graphics of WoW when it first came out. Go find the G4TV Judgment Day review of WoW vs EQ2 and they'll say that. WoW's cartoony graphics transition from WC3 was there, but it got more cartoony after the graphics rehaul, and then the world and characters got neutered after. I'm sure you can tell that one is more "disneyified" than the other though.

i remember vanilla pserver guilds requiring their resto shams be troll or no raid spot.
i wonder if some guilds still do that.

oh sorry anon, i wasnt implying it as a reason for you to go troll. was just commenting on how wild ppl are for the racials at times.
sorry wasnt meaning to be a doofus to you.
i'd go orc anyhow if it were me.
