Only tried the wow classic gold SL pre-patch last night since I had been excited about levelling in Northrend again. I was disappointed to say the least. There is nothing resembling an obstacle, you 1-2 shot all the mobs (even together with your basic starter spells at level 10). There’s no risk of passing when questing.
We decided to perform a dungeon run and went to the Nexus. I remember being rather hard back in the afternoon, but we just cleared through without even taking notice of healer/tank/dps roles.
I was absolutely not convinced that you could actually die in order a DPS I decided to run up ahead and pull like 6 packs of crap. In my surprise I’d perish, but nobody else did – I had been ressed and we continued on and finished the dungeon in like 10 minutes.
So yeah for those who have come to wow classic gold after a very long absence from the game, or even for those for whom wow classic gold is their very first WoW encounter, I don’t think there’ll be much exodus into retailstores.
I like there to be SOME obstacle involved, not just 1-2 shotting everything quickly you fly through the quests as fast as you can run.
. Now they have mechanics, cool, but you can pull 10 mobs at a time and ignore the mechanics and be nice. So. . why?
The buy gold classic wow variant at the level is significantly more difficult. It is like, if you don’t need there to be some challenge whatsoever until epic and mythic difficulty, why even have the base content? Just skip it, concentrate your efforts on creating more/better raid content if that is what the game really is.
