Class Changes 2?

[Verdict]

Hey guys,

It's passing March soon and I'm sure people are wondering about Class Changes 2 & how they'll be delivered/executed? Seeing the original teaser or announcement for the roadmap of 2024 Class Changes seem under 1/3d of the way of that. I'd guess either end of March of April in its entirety.

Questions:
Will we receive any teasers for these changes?

How big will these changes be, small tweeks or entire game-altering?

Will we be able to test them in an environment?

Are they already been tested?

Pretty sure tons of people are excited as I am, personally, I can't wait!

Regards,
Verdicta

Class changes will be in late autumn after some new private Classic + server release.

Akalix said on the Discord server that they are doing two patches for 2024 and they are currently on track. So, I reckon 1.17.2 will come sometime in Summer (~3-4months) and 1.18 will come near the end of the year.

+1
Some info about buff/nerf targets and things like this would be cool.

[Verdict]

Maybe bump this with all due respect hoping for some information :D

[Ataika]

I highly doubt there will be any info before the patch
And also very concearned about these "changes" i have no clue what a ragtag of random pvpers Twow hired r gonna prepare,would be good to know how my class will look like so i wont waste my time in case these changes are shit

I'm more curious if changes will be significant or minuscule.

TWoW's first stab at class changes was always going to be on the conservative side. They also kept it 100% behind closed doors before releasing it. This is something they might have regretted given that they've asked for community input (Class Council) for the next round of changes.

So, I think this time round, they will be more adventurous with the changes.

I just hope rogue will be worth playing after the changes.

they need to change trolls racial entirely, gettign +5 to bows and throwing weapons is ridiculous because every other class can now get it due to hyjal.

weapon skill on ranged is next to useless why are you guys hanged up on it...ranged weps cannot glance you are getting 0.05% crit and hit

I'll always support troll buffs

As a fellow troll, I'd be okay with them if TWOW made thrown weapons viable. RN they only exist on paper, noone uses them.

Yep, viable thrown weapons as well as a throwable spear type weapon is the dream.

I hope you are right. The small changes IMO are barely noticeable unless one has lived and breather WoW every waking moment. In other words - unless you're a min-maxer, the changes while still cool and appreciated, too small to notice.

I'm hopeful this time they will be bigger. Stuff like inventing entirely new abilities, for example, melee abilities for a Survival Hunter who is 100% and 0% ranged or Arcane abilities for an Arcane Mage and other things like that to make useless talent trees useful and fun. For an Arcane Mage, I imagine the main spell to be "Arcane Bolt" or something like that and "Frost Bolt" become obsolete or unusable.

This Turtle WoW 2.0 thing really has me curious. I hope the changes will be groundbreaking.

[Verdict]

I personally believe in their ability to stay true to Classic while upgrade on it, making it more interesting.

Having high hopes here! \o/
