they probably going so slow with the updates now cause no longer a prio for them due to player count. cant be too sure but i cant imagine them going much further than the next update before its in maintenance mode
Hopefully there's still a community left by the time P4 actually releases. No interest in Cata/Retail. :(
PHASE 4 HYPE! Please release phase 4 before July! I have 16 birthdays to celebrate with my kids
My expectations: launch of Phase 4
Aint expecting anything, SoD is dead everyone is playing cata now, no idea why they even bother putting any kind of energy or dev time in to SoD when cata is here
Wow players are delusional. Complaining about everything and wants to rush every phase instead of getting an actual good phase in end game which actually matter. At lvl 60 the game begin guys, touch some grass while waiting nerds
I'd love it if we discovered some new races... Would be great if Ghostlands and Azuremyst Isle opened up in Classic SoD with Blood Elf and Draenei (like they were in pre-patch playable), toss in some of the other content from BC like Zul'Aman and Karazhan that was available outside of the Dark Portal. Maybe even get Caverns of Time dungeons or Battle for Mount Hyjal raid and the Scale of Sands rep if it works within the timeline. Could add jewelcrafting to SoD as well, get some socketed gear in later new phases.Like a what if if the Dark Portal charged up but fizzled out. Meanwhile we wait.... Can't wait to see where it goes :)
I hope it’s good enough to bring some players back to be honest. SoD had lots of potential, just remembering how packed the servers were on launch. The community clearly really wanted Classic+, but so far it’s just been remasters of old dungeons no one cared for and random npcs dropped in zones and called PvP events. We were drawn to the servers in hope of unseen content being fleshed out. Crypts, and SM raid of some kind, maybe Hyjal, something new and fresh, exciting. Sod right now to me feels like a stepping stone between what classic was and what retail is now not what it could have been sadly.
Every season I hope they will create more random world drop items from monsters. Strong, rare and beautiful items like "Teebu's Blazing Longsword" or super rare items like Griffon or Tyrael Might in Diablo 2, the feeling of suddenly picking it up in an unexpected place is truly amazing. great... I once stayed up for more than 24 hours continuously watching people bid on my "Teebu's Blazing Longsword" in AH, then I slept for about 16 hours continuously, which was the best sleep in the 36 years since I was born... Every season wow vanilla comes back, I still go back to the place where I once picked up Teebu to fight the monsters there for at least 1-2 days, but even if I drop Teebu, I will probably never get that feeling back. ...
its ok now i have time to play my huge game libary with over 100+ games
Well lets think about this for a second.. the amount of content that is involved in phase 4 is greater than all previous phases combined tenfold. Think about how much gear that they have to go through and tweak to follow along the SoD influence (all the Dire Mauls, BRD, UBRS, LBRS, MC, Ony, Scholo, Strat, all the lvl 60 quests) and thats just the GEAR. Think about all the dungeon mobs and bosses that need to be tweaked based on SoD increased damage overall from all classes. Its a complete overhaul whether we see it or not. IMO take your time blizz and release a better product instead of listening to impatient spoiled generation of "I Need It NOW" "you have to give it to me because i want it" (DONT even act like thats not the world we live in)Anyways i think most people who came back for SoD all came back to see what is about to be released. So i do believe people will come back once its released, just watch..
It makes sense for SoD to be their last priority because it's not really making them money. It's not as monetized as retail and Cata and majority of players are retail and Cata players who play during content droughts in their main game so they are not really gaining that many subs just from SoD.
Delay it much longer the only thing left on SoD will be all the bots that for some reason never seem to get banned.
Sod good
4 seasons in a year guys... do the math
