What's funny is that recently there's been a big player increase on Era. Tells me SoD's in trouble. Not sure what Blizzard is playing at?
Problem with making level up raids as iconic dungeons is you can't run those dungeons after they make it a raid so its gotta be new or the dungeons nobody runs.
Not a single person out there wanted to run the massive slog that is sunken temple aside from people trying to get their class quest done and the people who wanted dragons call for a meme weapon.
Lets face it blizzard has way too much going on and can't keep up with runnning this many modes / versions of the game and it shows.
Yeah, once they announced the new panda mode like a week after the Plunderstorm thing and ALSO still having Cata…I was like, “what the fuck is blizz trying to do?”
Even before watching, I can tell, SoD is dead and will stay dead. Blizzard takes a dumb on us Classic Gamers. Retail Players Bring waaaaay more money, so they Put P4 and War within the Same time. I will Play it till the End, but will break up with Blizzard forever after. Only Discopointment.
I already lost 30% of my Raiders to Retail or Elden Ring. Never wouldve thougt they will let us down this Ice cold. As I Said, they use the SoD Hype to get Players to war within. All Planned for Sure.
Nah, every Cata " Enjoyer " is gonna swallow their pride and join SoD phase 4 within a week or two maximum.
Cata is just not comparable to Classic.
Can't wait for the player base to go back to start of phase 2 levels and all the doomers will be back
@beardedgenius9697 yeah I’m doing the same thing, ride out SOD then I’m out, this company is brutal to their customers and doesn’t deserve a dime
Unless season has a cash shop it will never be a priority. It is what it is… at this point just add the same cash shop so we can get content and devs that are not idiots
@@vladchenkov9215If they Put Cashshop in, they lose 90% of the Classic Playerbase and Game is dead too 🤷
SoD started out with some great ideas & some real potential long-term but they decided to draaaaaaaaaag it out (like they always seem to do). I was out after Gnomeregan phase. I saw the writing on the wall then. I blame Microsoft Blizzard in general. Not the 2 - 12 devs they have assigned to this project. Overall the devs on this beta test did a great job. It was a beta test from the start. They lost touch at some point with what players wanted with this idea. Imagine a "seasonal server" that lasts over a year. Yup, they just did that to you all. The bottom line is there is not enough opportunity to monitize a version of the game like SoD so it will never get the resources it needs to ever be amazing. Retail & Cata game modes make way more $$$ than SoD/classic versions can ever make. See you in Cataclysm. At least we know what we are getting there.
@SolheimGaming there use to be a boat to the docks below deadmines also back in 1.02 for horde to do that dungeon but it was buggy as heck they could of just re enabled that and fixed it that boat also allowed alliance to go ratchet at sub 20 and do those quests to kill raptors lions and such to get goblin rep so horde couldnt kill alliance in town at all on pvp servers without dieing fast they also removed 90% of the guards in that hub and removed the sniper and rifleman so people can camp on houses to kill people
Neat info
I doubt Sm raid or kara raid comes. they simply dont have the people to work on it, I would think
Your rant convinced me to quit my job and buy a one-way plane ticket to Activision corporate. With your channel logo on a flag in hand, I will make sure your word gets to these guys! Wish me luck and hope I make the news to spread the word!
LMAO love it!
@@SolheimGaming 😀
I mean, I too would love of had new raids. The problem comes down to resources, the classic dev team is drastically lacking in resources and personnel.
Classic dev team, 12-18 people. For SoD/HC/Era/WotLK into Cata. And nearly 100 servers between US/EU servers.
Retail dev team, 200-300 people. For Retail/Remix. (Plunderstorm was a third party company.)
Blizzard has elected to not allocate more resources for the dev team, they didn't give them more programmers or coders. They should have given them more resources when they saw just how successful SoD was at launch, there is a massive community and market to tap into and they didn't which was short sighted on Blizzards part. Next Cata should never have been under the classic dev team, the entire cata launch should have been moved to Retail dev team because it is retail. It's the retail cash shop and the coding is close to retail now.
The fact that SoD keeps using old resources and instances shows that they are lacking not only a level/zone artist and producer it shows that they lack the personnel to move art/move assets from other versions or expansions for the game. Such as using old TBC/WotLK art assets for new raids or zones.
At this point, the reason we got more class changes is probably because the skill set of the classic devs, the experience of fixing abilities from being glitchy through the 2019-2024 reboot of classic is probably what is the freshest set of tools for the devs.
They were equipped with the hammer called "Character skills/abilities." when they should have been equipped with a screw driver of, "new zones/stories/raids/instances."
But the problems in SoD is mostly top down, the dev team wasn't given the resources they needed from their execs, they weren't given the personnel they needed and they had to focus 95% of their time and effort on Cata which should have been moved to the retail team from the get go. Cata isn't Classic, it never will be.
I 100% agree with everything you wrote here
Yeah, exactly what i was thinking too, phase 3 is lasting this long, and aggrend even tweeted about this, because their little team had to release cata and that's where the focus went.
And i'm no developer but with assumed team of 12-18 ppl you just dont conjure up new raids and shit in one night and release them for content-hungry ppl, that's why they prob. just rehash old dungeons because they dont have ppl and or time do do anything new, maybe they are trying to make a kara crypts or smthing to be ready in some phase 6 months from now but i wouldn't count on it too much.
And they also keep adding runes every phase cause thats the only thing thats "new" , it creates buttonbloat and retail-feel but that was known from day one that this would happen, just like that pvp-balance would fly straight outta window when you add shitton of abilities to classic.
And finally leveling alts 1-50 and getting all the runes is all there is to the game now if you play it, why would you wanna rush your alt to max and buy runes and do 1hr sunken temple then log off or create another alt, the chore-runes and leveling are the only thing you can waste time on rn in SoD..but prob most ppl are in cata and waiting to checkout p4 when it drops , i know i am.
@solheimGaming I agree with your point of ULDUM ... But WE SHOULD NOT GO IN TO ULDUM .. the bosses should COME OUT ... The RAID should be reshaped DUNES of Tanaris
Blizzard should have hired some of the private server teams. The dev teams on SoD and even Remix seem to lack experience in playing WoW games. They seem more like mediocre moders at best. AAA companies shouldn’t have to rely on their paying customers to test and provide direction on products. Kevin Jordan use to talk about this, players suck at game design, that’s why they’re the players and if they were good at ideation/GD they’d be designer professionals. Blizz is just cash grabbing from the fan boys to appease shareholders. Feels good man. 💩
It;s SOD and its DEAD. Walk Away or they won't learn their lesson. It's the same old mistake don't encourage the idiocy.
They don't really want to invest time, effort, staff or money into it they just want to milk it to death. Same is happening with HC Classic (Bots and gold sellers have overrun things as they refuse to put any staff into dealing with complaints for months on end).
I disagree with "the classes doesn't feel classic anymore", I think there are two classes that they changed too much and where you are right, Shaman & Rogue, maybe Ret.
All other classes are still kinda baseline with some cool passives or minor changes, or you have a different spell on your 1 at the keyboard. Other classes were so underdeveloped in Classic that now they feel like they were supposed to be, like Shadow Priest or Moonkin. But Shamans, Rogues and Ret are so fucking flashy with 200 mechanics that didn't exist, that's not classic for me. Warrior, Mage, Warlock are still kinda classic like but got new roles and obviously some classic like spells for that - I like that.
I think the cadence was decent until we hit the delay of phase 4. I think it would be premature to give us the brand new raids before level 60 where each class is fully equipped with abilities. I would at least rather have development time invested into new level 60 raids than level up raids. I also think people would have complained a lot if the popular dungeons had been turned into raids. Then everyone would be asking for the ability to toggle between dungeon and raid. Somehow I think it's okay that they gave some less popular dungeons a time to shine. I don't think those dungeons were inherently bad, they had some features just that made them not as efficient, confusing, etc. Personally I feel Blizzard have managed to make pretty decent level up raids out of those dungeons and iron out some of the stuff that made them disliked. Were they perfect? no, but it's hard to satisfy everyone, find the difficulty that caters to veteran players and casual players.
I also wish Blizzard would invest more resources into sod, but at this point I'm okay waiting a bit, it's summer and it's good to touch some grass or play other versions/games. I think it might hit a bit harder as a content creator than for us "regular" players, so I just hope you and we will get a lot of good stuff going forward and that Blizzard will knock our socks off. In the end we all dream of new zones, new raids,, new reps, new epic quest lines and awesome rewards!
Agreed. They should just lean into the #allchanges mode at this point. The fact that, as you said, there's so little new stuff only reworks is just sad at this point. Only extremely minor changes to talent trees just sucks. Either go more classic and just do new dungeons, or lean into the changes and start expanding the vision. This middle group of doing vanilla with tbc-wlk-cata spells is just sad.
i was expecting Ranged warriors, field medic rogues etc etc, phase 1 was great cause trying the different builds with warlock tanks, rogue tanks, mage healers was great.Just try things with the seasonal server
there is like 6 ppl working on SoD
Taking the time they had they did much compared to private servers that had unlimited time until they launched.. so you cannot compare them that way.
Besides SoD team has like 2 programmers whom also need to test everything.
With p4 coming right at the start of summer I personally won't be playing. Sad to say but it's just not compelling enough even for me, a wow classic andy
I am really dissapointed that blizzard went with MC over BRD as a new raid. There are many people who would agree with me im sure. This would also be a good choice for many reasons includeing lore. There is many bosses in this raid that could be redone into fun fights. There is a ton of interesting areas. The item drops there upgraded would have been really cool and scaleable power wise that make sense. There is a lot of people who like BRD as a dungeon. Idk man to me it seemed like a no brainer but im sure if you ask blizzard it would come down to time spent on making it and it makes me sad and dissapointed. It would make a great raid.
To be fair, I like the choice to go with less popular dungeons as the raids because then people won’t just skip them altogether…. However next few phases they have to cut waaay down on trash. ST is like 99% trash, it’s WAAAAAY too much. Just give us hard boss fights with like less than 1/2 the amount of trash, and it’s vastly more enjoyable
I honestly think they had anticipated Kara and scarlet raids to be lvl 60 from the beginning. Idk to me a lot of the classic+ content is stuff that happened in end game. So for me I personally have been expecting these raid to be release sometime at lvl 60.
duskhaven will give us a true classic plus experience whenever it finally comes out.. ifykyk
This is nothing new. I would guess that the wow teams on different versions are abit thin. Except for maybe retail. I understand your concerns, but I would also try playing different wow versions or try some other games.
Oh yeah, I'm playing a lot of different versions of WoW, SoD hasn't been my main for a couple of months now.
Playing alot of Cataclysm and been no-lifing the MOP Remix event in retail the last week, been fun.
Also got TWW Alpha & Beta access and been playing that quite a bit ^^
For other games I've been playing Palworld and will be playing the new update in 7 days :D
Isnt that what they intend to do? Making everyone feel much more Overpowered than in classic
God why can't they just hire the Turtle WoW team or Project Epoch
I don't mind the phase length. There's like 4 versions of wow I want to play and I don't have time to play them all. I hope blizz doesn't do 6 week phases because I would not get to experience the other versions like remix and cata
Dont really get why people are alleady so mad phase 4 isnt out yet noone knows how the content will be. And if u dont like phase 3 just dont play it its summer go out touch some gras and come back when phase 4 is out.
your hoping so much from blizzard.
IF you think RAID should be BEFOR lvl 60 you are WRONG ... RAIDING concepts where settled by jeff Kaplin in 2005 blizzcon panel
I’d rather wait for SM and Kara raid to be endgame and not some level up raid that is dead after phase is over! Plus Ashbringer gonna be tied to SM raid
And yeah phases have been a bit long, but definitely gives the devs time to polish the endgame! Which let’s face it; is the most important part of classic.
But for me personally, the biggest down side of SOD is that it has ruined ever playing rogue again in regular classic.. mutilate just feels so good and fun and very fast pace with only 40 energy! So going back to SS feels so slow and boring
To be fair, I like the choice to go with less popular dungeons as the raids because then people won’t just skip them altogether…. However next few phases they have to cut waaay down on trash. ST is like 99% trash, it’s WAAAAAY too much. Just give us hard boss fights with like less than 1/2 the amount of trash, and it’s vastly more enjoyable
BFD was a hit. In and out 30m adventure. After that... hmm... yeah...
I hate molten core trash so much but sadly that's what's going to be on the menu until phase 5
@@JT-mt6ku yeah, wouldn''t hold my breath waiting them to cut down trash in MC or BWL or AQ or any raid for that matter, maybe uldum crypts of scarlet halls will have 50% less trash so ppl can clear that in 30 mins in phase 11
actually... very good video
I don’t share your opinion on runes for alts. Sure if it’s the same class as your first char then it would make sense, but not when it’s another class. For one, it would make those alts op without ever really learning what the runes do. As for their choices of which dungeons to turn in to raids, for me it makes complete sense not to use popular dungeons. The only mistake with it was turning a 5 man dungeon in a 20 man raid, that’s just retarded. Instead they should have made ST a 10 man and made both a 10 and 20 man version of the tbc karazhan (not crypts, that one should be saved for phase 5 I feel and used as a way to get gear for naxx). I always liked Kara, and having it at an optional 20 man difficulty could have been epic. For the rest, having started in tbc, every raid is new for me as I never got to do them when they were current, and even in tbc the only one I entered was naxx just before it closed because off WotLK dropping soon after. As for it being to slow: maybe for sweaty players but for casuals, 4-6 weeks/phase is just not long enough. Personally, I take my time leveling, don’t do incursions as that’s boring. Then start gearing. Then wipe on the first bosses in the raid. It’s only been 7 months btw, still got plenty to do on main to get ready for phase 4, alts not even levelled to 50 in favour off solo farming rep. Most players in my guild can only play a few days/week and only a few hours on those days, only “content creators” and other no lifers have plenty of time. There’s plenty to do if you just look for it
Go outside and touch some grass
They didn't choose popular dungeons because it would have locked people out of being able to do those. If they got the tech to have the raid and dungeon separate somehow I 100% agree with you.
I figured we would have like a new zone. I thought they would save most new zones for classic+ but I thought they would at least test a low level zone or something.
Not just runes, but rep.
first
Second :(
and the 1 class that cant do anything other then dps cant even do decent dps because they keep getting nerfed aka hunters did decent phase 3 but they had to be melee to even get in the top and felt bad as melee now they nerfed melee hunter hard and MM hunter rotation is broken atm on the ptr so they cant even be tested
It is 7 months in at best, I am sorry, but you was a bit wrong about current season duration. It launched on 1 december if I recall it right, and now it is the middle of june, so 7 months in max
I'm still traumatised from cata prepatch
Conquest of Azeroth is coming check it out!! Looks awesome ascension wow
duskhaven will be bis
Ashes of Creation when? We need to get off this WoW treadmill soon.
Kargoz should have been in charge 🤩
Mandatory purchase of restedxp
we’re 7 months in btw
i agree with all of this though, sod started so promising it sucks to see it hasn’t lived up to its potential in my opinion
when you SOLD this to us as , Vanilla... you and the other content creators can reap what you sold... SOD is NOT VANILLA, Destroying Vanilla content was not RESPECTING the vanilla community, Every SOD enjoyer justified the Devs taking the sub money and Deving a RETAIL ... its Spumoni or Neapolitan Not VANILLA , OMG putting world bosses in a INSTANCE ...."we are playing SOD" this was "CLASSIC" Blizzcon announcement and we don't get one this year ... SAD
Nobody cares about vanilla and that is why nobody plays it.
@@sticknbox6157 you are RETARTED bro , have fun eating up SEASON OF DOGSHIT ... respect the generation that gave you this game .. enjoy them taking your SUB money and not removing bots or doing anything that keeps the server alive and populated ..
@@sticknbox6157vanilla players are weird man, Want new content but each one wants something different and reject everything new
@@kittan5450 you are just a Shill ,puppet, or a monkey in a circus.. blizzard making you dance for them .. pacing the content to the SUBS, lul you paid 9 months to get to lvl 60... when you cant respect someone who took the journey decades before you and wanted to share the game with you , not watch SOD DISTROY it "rehashing" content just like they did in WOTLK/ cata that ended OG WOW
@@kittan5450Adding retail spells and reworking some dungeons into 10 man raid is not new content. People wanted classic plus. Do you know what classic plus is? It means 2 continents with 2 fractions in constant conflict with one another, newly made zones, newly made dungeons, newly made raids, subzones, and couple of class fixes. They didn't MAKE anything new, they didn't CREATE anything. They didn't create new dungeons, they didn't create new zones and subzones, they didn't create new quests, they didn't fix classes that needed fixing, they didn't do anything.
No clue why ppl hate on SoD phase 4 so much, literally shitloads of new changes and limitless potential.
Cata is utter garbage, pure Copium.
The real chad move would be to scratch the servers, create a new server with Phase 4 SoD live on launch.
They are probably hating, because everybody was screaming that they wanted Vanilla+, so Blizzard made a statement that was the entire purpose of Season of Discovery. Phase1+2 was really good.. But look at the state of phase 4.. It's like playing completely new classes, everything is just shit.. btw, i soloed BRD as a lvl 60 rogue with blue gear in phase4 beta.
