SoD Phase 4 Trailer + my thoughts on SoD
New places to discover > Class design
Azeroth is the Main Character in classic, not the player
+3 runes
True but if classes were unimproved I wouldn't play
Yeah, I personally couldn't play a Classic+ without class changes... as much as I adore Classic. Its not enticing when there are like 3 specs that are even somewhat engaging to play... and countless that are literally unplayable.
I think Xaryu is mostly right on the misguided focus on class design. It feels like the team spent WAY TOO MUCH time on balancing classes and tweaking runes, when in reality, I think the real reason people started playing SoD was for the potential new content (Kara crypts, Uldum, etc). I also think the devs overestimated the novelty of "discovering" runes. Maybe turning the runes into skillbooks and making those skills standard for the various specs they're obviously intended for would have been sufficient.
its all design on purpose to MK Ultra their audience to get use to retail spell on classic....then when the MK Ultra has served its purpose than more people will end up buying the new expansion
@@legendarydestiny9437 Take a break from the computer, my dude.
@@bormz7191 the court jester speaks truths greater than the sheep may bleat
@@legendarydestiny9437schizo but true, blizzard wants people to play retail and buy expansions
Turtle WoW does what Blizzard needed to do. I also think the name implies it would be more about discovering new world areas as opposed to being a combat update.
SoD is failure because of misguided design.
Agree with this 1,000,000% - class design is not what I was looking for. MAAAAAAYBEEE a spell or two here and there, maybe a buff or two but that’s it man.
Maybe it's just that SoD isn't for you. They were always clear that class changes were going to be a massive part of SoD.
@@bormz7191 massive does not equate to the majority. the world of AZEROTH is the main character of classic WoW and its blueprint...
maybe youre right and SoD isnt for him... nor for the rest of the playerbase that was lead with false expectations that have all quit.. leading to the barren landscape we have today.
i finally unsubbed and it's really disappointing how SoD ended up. SoD is more disappointing than Total War of late.. and that's really sad
Mby no spells at all you can just look at the screen and not play ?
I thought season of discovery was gonna be about discovering new areas in the game, new dungeons and raids and quests. I agree with smaller tweaks to classes and what not
guys if you enjoy play it, if you dont, dont play it, its just a game xD not that serious
Basically Turtle wow is what you're saying :)
haha absolutely
The community cried out for new dungeons / raids and adjustments to "meme specs"... not give every class wrath and retail abilities and scale up damage on everything. I quit a while ago and will not return sadly.
This phase is actually fun as fuck mainly cause 60 stuff is fun
Lock tank is awsome, just wish we could change metamorph design for each race.
sod made me realize who perfect classic era is
Perfect? Are u fking joking? I have no desire to play Classic, because the whole game is just shitshow broken, I have no idea why people loving this, PvE aspect sure kinda fun, but PvP? HELL fkin NO.
So fun doing mc with 20/40 warriors roster
perfect to bring 30 warrior dps in a raid yea, perfect you are forced to play heal pala and cant play tank or dps, perfect that balance and ferals are also useless in pve, perfect that shadow priest dps is a joke in pve, perfect that ele and enhance are a joke in pvp, perfect that rogue have 10 billion ccs, cmon bro xDD i love classic so much more then retail and cata but its far from perfect
Degen classic andy love the pressing of 1 button and lvl for months ofc you like that
100% agreed
Let's see if it even survives until TWW release
Its already dead so for sure will die when tww comes out
The new classes are fun, but we were sold on new raids. Scarlet raid, kara crypts raid. The idea of exploring content that was left out of classic. Old hyjal... not level 60 mc... bwl..ony..ect.
As soon as the next retail expansion comes out Xaryu gonna pretend like this classic wow stuff never happened
They ruined sod for me is a clown fiesta 😢
My favourite class (Hunter) is pretty unrecognizable and been on and off OP the entirety of SoD. I didn't ask for this. The only part of SoD I have liked so far has been Bloodmoon, I wish they bring back Bloodmoon in a less changed classic in the future
If there wasn't a rogue tank spec, I would've quitted at p2. Nobody wanted rogue for gnomer, I had to lie my way into raids as a tank saying that I can but had zero knowledge and just learned my through the phase. It didnt take me much but then managed to solo tank the whole raid by then.
Accordingly, the verification of your Sales Incentive payment has been successfully conducted.
i don't think many mages are healing or rogues/locks are tanking any meaningful content since p2. seems to me like the specs that were always meant to heal or tank are the ones that are best at it.
I lock tanked sunken temple through p3 perfectly fine
@@ethanfogarty9540 not denying there are exceptions
Lock was one of the 2 top tank of st btw
@@Faffo90 tank locks were 3rd worst dps in the game in ST. dont lie friend.
Everyone saying class changes are bad, but good luck selling people on a Classic+ if 1/2 the specs remain unplayable and about 2-3 are somewhat engaging to play. There absolutely HAS to be some class rebalancing and something carried over from the rune experimenting. I'm sorry, but spamming 1 ability just gets boring.
If there is no lock tank no healer mage no tank rogue ur not playing sod ur playing classic with a new patch
Which is kind of what people wanted in the first place?
Whats your point?
People have been asking for “Vanilla+” for awhile now, and thats what SoD was sold as in the very beginning
I personnally wished they didnt overtune all the mobs at higher levels.
lock tank, mage healer is one of the best ideas of Sod. wtf u talking about? But yes, dial back on runes and nerf all dmg across the board.
People love to complain about SoD because it’s trendy and gets engagement.
I have enjoyed SoD since P1 and haven’t quit playing. I do not have any interest in playing stock Vanilla 1.12 anymore.
It has been a blast doing the 50-60 grind with balanced and enjoyable classes, plus new and reworked items that were useless prior.
thats true, i also enjoy it, yea maybe abit to many runes, yea tank rogue are not really cool and heal mage... yea not that great, and incursions are insanely boring and very very bad designed, but sod is still fine and i like it. they just need to focus on more new dungeons, zones, raids, and then it would be even alot better
I was very excited for SoD to come out, but when it did, I felt like it's a private server that aims to ignite nostalgia but fails to do so. I'm glad I skipped it entirely.
I quit SoD when people abused the gold
They took out 40 man raiding. I’m retired from sod. Deviate delight boys 💪🏽
They still have 40 man just not MC
40 man raiding is, and has always been, dogshit. SoD fucked up when they didn't make everything either 10 man or at least make it switchable between 10/20-man
@@Eddenftw i will never ever raid lead for a 40 man, those days are over. 10 man is my preference now..
sure, it's more epic with 20/40, but it's actually NOT because the screen is just filled with party frames lol
@@Eddenftw 20 isn’t epic and 10 sure af isn’t lol. This is all subjective. But I’ve never though of 20 players being epic
Cant please everyone
So u wanted to spam frostbolt over and over. Doubtful
I really wish we got 0 new class things, and only new raids and zones. No level caps, P1 is leveling to 60 with some new quests/zones/dungeons. P2 is everyone is 60. I want classic +, not classic +++++, not retail -.
I should probably just play turtle wow shouldn't I? I've put it off because its still a small private server in my eyes. Maybe its worth checking out...
The new specs are what made this worth playing imo
can you join the bliz dev team please.
All I wanted was new content and very minor tweaks to meme specs to make them viable not optimal. THAT'S IT. Oh and 40 yard name plates.
good day
The meta form for Warlocks still pisses me off. It’s so out of place in the old world. Minor thing, but sums everything up - just off the mark.
tldr: Opinions on SoD are fair but their getting to entitled, the Discovery in SoD may differ between you and the Devs but thats ok.
Bruh the entitlement everyone keeps pushing with these opinions is crazy, everyone had an idea of what the Season of Discovery was gonna be and what they wanted to see from it, and guess what yall pretty much got it. Were your expectations met in the exact way you wanted? No they weren't but this is blizzard we are talking about they haven't been about giving us exactly what we wanted in the way we thought we wanted merely in the vision of what they think players would enjoy.
Healer Mage, Tank Rogue and Warlock were badly executed and thats fair but to say they shouldnt have been apart of SoD in the first place is insane just because you dont like the idea of it doesn't mean there wasnt a group of people who were like "cool im interested in trying this stuff out". Yet at the same time your ok with the other stuff like tank shaman or melee hunter being a thing because why? There have been groups of players trying to innovate how they played their classes even before SoD, theres nothing wrong with classes evolving along with their players, so long as it doesnt go to far that they outshine other classes that are dedicated to roles making them obsolete or try to be their exact copies (but thats just my opinion).
Runes are a great addition to class building, not as innovative as i would like but hey their something.
The dev team wanted to take risk and try stuff out or in short Discover new possibilities for classics world and its people so they gave us that maybe not the in the way many wanted but they succeeded in that regard.
surely no one is still playin sod right?
its crowded
How long will sod last. Will I lose my character. This all isn’t clear to me so I refuse to put any time into it
Thay said it multiple times. You’re not gonna lose your char and it will last a lot more. We hit cap level 60 2 days ago and we have atleast 4 more phases. It is pretty clear since December.
@@sdruba90 I told you. I refuse to play u til this is clear to me. What don’t you get?
@@AtlantisMantis-ey9cmthen why is your dumbass asking if your character will be deleted? You don’t care, right?
@@AtlantisMantis-ey9cm40iq right here.
@@AtlantisMantis-ey9cmsilly boy
0 hype for sod
zero hype! zero hype!
For me, they lost the opportunity of making something good... Game feels completly off now... Phase 1 and 2 where fine, Phase 3 and 4 garbage... to many class habilities and type of content with dailies and crap from retail... PVP BG queues make the game unplayable...
It's probably just retail fanboys who are calling you names - I agree completely with you Xaryu, but I would dial everything back not 20%, but about 90%. I have played WoW since 2006 and I am not a fan of SoD at all. SoD just does not have Classic feel, it is retail WoW in Classic appearance. I don't quite understand why would Blizzard not just add some new dungeons, storylines, maybe a raid to Classic WoW (similar to how OSRS is developed as you mention sometimes), instead of turning it into another retail version of WoW - it's the 3rd one basically (the actual retail, the Cata "Classic" which is close to retail now, and now SoD which turned Classic into another retail-like)
100% braindead classic andy here, do you like to have 0 buttons to press and mby just look at the screen? I mean do you classic andys rly get a hard on when pressing 1 button ?
I always come off as just blindly hating new blizzard devs but seriously they waste so much time on this project thinking this is what we want. I will just play TurtleWoW for classic+ or era for classic nochanges. This sod shi has gotta go
Blood moon is the absolute worst! Why even have factions if we can fight ourselves. Paladins and Druids being real tanks is enough. Locks and Rogues… maybe a few boss fights they can tank. They want way too far.
it should be free.
That trailer is trash. Sod is trash
Combination of blizzard's incompetence and the playerbase's obsession with parsing/gatekeeping ruined sod
Turtlewow > sod
Imagine paying for this garbage every month
The trailer looks good, but still, I will pass. 😃
Every one crys for something different raid to small or to big to much rune or different rune or something else sod its far from perfect put its gem if you compare it with the bloothed shit retail bacame
Runes have made SOD too much like retail. I simply feel too powerful. Vanilla wow was a great mmoRPG, retail is an ok mmo I guess, but not a great RPG.
SOD servers already dead. All you need to know.
All the melee classes hit 10x enemies in a giant cleave attack. WTF this isn't even Classic WoW anymore.
Phase 4 looks so terrible. I'm literally not leveling to 60. SoD is an open beta environment and it feels awful to play.
Take away this exp buff 150% and gold buff 300% its destory whole wow classic the experience then the game loses its meaning! the same goes for all these new runes that put in that are way too good? whole gameplay with elite quest disappears too?? SoD phas1 was really good! phase2-4 has unfortunately become somewhat more in the retial direction, the game base doesn't like it. There is the reason why phase1 had almost 4 million players? to just under 100k players in phase4?
Sulfuras is now feral bis. Thats the biggest scam. Fuck agrend.
Now evry feral wil get sulfuras b4 the ret. Fast weapons suck ass i want to reckbomb in pvp.
dial everything back, pointless , it becomes classic. The game stop being fun with the stay at home crowd. You cant compete unless your on the game 24/ and thats not fun and its unhealthy
Turtle WoW is goat. In 2025 even in Unreal Engine 5. Turtle WoW is the real Vanilla+ experience. Blizz just needs to copy it and voila
dial everything back? bro they hardly did anything to begin with lmao you're cracked and thirsty for vanilla wow, should go play that.
I love my heal mage ohter 3 speccs dd soeccs sucks
I don't agree with Xaryu here, for me they should go all in and every class should be tank/dps/healer it would fix a lot of problems.
SoD dead. Been dead. Cannot believe you're still paying to beta test for Classic Plus sometime in 2026
I keep hearing this but it’s just not true lol.
I want sod hc
yea sod aint it
