Yup, easily the best source of news for classic by FAR.

[@rbzgodx2346]

100% agreed.. played wow since release 20 smt years ago.. info from other people are allways wierd explained or simply wrong.. scott allways gets it on point. 🎉

[@ujustgotpwnd3454]

Biggest quality of life needed....bring back the Set Role/change role option in character drop menu

[@Xzola]

I was wondering where this went, you used to be able to set a spec to always be a certain role when you joined a group right

[@ujustgotpwnd3454]

@@Xzola yup, right clicking character portrait you could set role/change role on the fly and setting role in talent page would set what auto role you got assigned joining groups. Now only way is for group leader to do role check but it only lasts for that group

[@samdonald741]

Oh man, hyped to have the opportunity to run 50 heroics in a row

[@NathanChirnside]

Think of all the raw mats you are going to get with all those justice points!

[@RS-bu1vz]

​@@NathanChirnsideive actually made it a sport to try and get all of the heirlooms haha

[@Shiirow]

@@RS-bu1vz get all the heirlooms then just farm the mats for alts.

[@nicoperez9984]

@@RS-bu1vzye then u wonder why ur burned out and say theres nothing left to do 1 month in classic

[@RS-bu1vz]

@@nicoperez9984 highly doubt it. It's settled abit so i'm back to 50/50 on WoW and BG3. But i have my 4 tanks all geared and ready. My 2 mains are 9.6k and 9.3k (dk and warr tank). Druid is at 9k GS and pally is just 85 ready for a next patch or whenever i feel like it. Currently raiding on 2 characters for my guild, i wont get burned out for a while xD besides, all my friends came back so theres loads of people to play with. The only thing i'm burned out on are the heroics, especially as a tank the reps you need are alot(except for druid). I'm just happy you don't need the entire VP cap lol

[@trillu7163]

Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Scotte. Hope life is good.

[@williamtempleton7259]

Awesome changes, let's go blizz

[@Shiirow]

they added in the changes because we know when titan rune style dungeons drop, the valor points will become fairly moot. you will get essences or tokens which will be how you buy the gear like it was in Wrath. not like the changes will have that major of an impact later on down the line. which is why I wasnt surprised by the valor cap and dungeon increases when they were announced.

[@trousersnake1486]

If I'm capped on rep for all cata factions on my mai , any alts should have full access to gear and mounts for the appropriate level.

[@Picklechips23]

surprised they haven't added the Justice to Honor option at the vendor yet

[@jshack461]

I can't imagine going from Cataclysm back to the garbage fire of SoD

[@Holylightt99]

Agreed

[@JKLYDE]

I had a lot of fun in SoD tbh. I am of course currently playing Cata bc phase 3 was dog ish after 1 week. I’m excited to at least try phase 4 out. Hopefully this whole season was a beta for a real Classic +.

[@KibethSE]

Imagine a QOL change to Archeology where if you solve 500+ items, you can just choose 1 item to get instead of being 90hours into digging and still not getting anything usable.

[@MrPsykopeta]

imagine no lifing arc instead of waiting their "improved % to get epics in arc" like they already said y, the same moment they said "not right now, sorry"

[@bomberwarren]

I think the idea of choosing sounds ridiculous,

[@ablecdn1565]

Nobody is forcing you to spend 100 hrs on a profession. If this is what you choose to do then why should Blizz reward it.

[@NathanChirnside]

bro normals are out now, really no need to ever do arch again

[@KibethSE]

@@ablecdn1565 BIS trinket locked behind it my guy. I do arch while queued for other stuff, but why not add a path to obtain an account bound item? Just saying that it's the only profession that where your BIS is locked to a less than 1% RNG drop. Could dig 2x get BIS or you can dig 10000x and get nothing. Adding a QOL path to get something decent (especially since they'll only be BIS a few months) would be a good change.

[@mekz22]

I was just complaining about this yesterday to a friend because due to time constraints I couldn't play until now and missed 3 valor cap resets. Actually a great change.

[@H-D-D]

We did bot 10man the other day, and all the trash was I think, quadrupled! So instead of 3 of those padding mobs they were in groups of 12! We confirmed it was set to 10 man. Went out reset and it resolved it

[@daranhassinger1360]

When are they fixing arch? Lol all these changes are great but we can’t get bad rng protection?

[@daltonnelson94]

I wish I knew this last night. I had to stay up late and spam heroics to cap my valor before the reset.

[@WhatIfTheories]

Fortunately I was reading the forums and it came out in a blue post in the evening. So I didn't spam the remaining heroics and just farmed some gold casually which was nice. It's always good to scan the Classic forums for Blue post before a reset see what's changing. Sorry you grinded them but at least it's done.

[@nicholasrogers8032]

Grind never stops!

[@ahetzel9054]

Thank god, idky they thought the acumulative cap on conquest and not valor was a good idea. Also, does this mean that my character whos going to hit 85 this week will be able to back cap the couple weeks I missed? Im also pretty sure the dark moon card decks are about to go up in price lol

[@hcliff2100]

Correct you can farm whatever the cap is if your char was 85 from week1

[@JP91979]

Would be nice to have the fragment trader for Arch, for those still hunting items for transmogrifying and collecting but having 0 luck.

[@alex-suciu]

good qol changes so far. 2 things I'd love to see: maelstrom crystal/chaos orbs on justice/valor vendor guild calendar

[@ensampojken]

Honestly, as a now person with a life outside of wow, I'd want everything to work like this. Like have dailies build up, and let us do them retroactively.

[@melonattacklol1499]

they said they wouldn't do heroic+ anymore right?

[@IsaacFNghost]

I’m 350 arms warrior and I’m still stuck with a heroic 346 blue weapon. Anyone know if in the future there are any epic craft able 2h weapons with blacksmithing? Want to get weapon enchants but don’t want to blow the gold putting it on a blue lol

[@daisyou812]

Love love the idea about Justice pts and heirlooms bc i have justice pts just sitting and no im not goung to buy 2-3 stacks of cloth 😂. But buying an upgrade to heirlooms (to increase max level etc) similar to the upgrade u can buy for the ring in Dalaran would be sweet!

[@ryananderson586]

Yeah SoD aint it, ill be dividing my time between cata and Elden Ring.

[@jobozo99]

Same

[@bobcobb158]

I think they're trying to get ahead of the mass exodus they're expecting to see.. which is good, no complaints there. Hopefully they keep up with changes like this to keep people playing.

[@Turkos245]

valor is also bugged rn so you sit at 0/6400 when yyou log in according to guildies

[@Combustibleporcupine]

Hell yeah, that's good news because I was indeed running behind on my 4 lvl 85's lol

[@Connor-gz4jv]

anyone else kinda mad they moved AV weekend back two weeks to be at the same time as twin peaks? saying this cause i really wanted to lvl in their with my lock and gear my shaman up easier but yeah pretty annoying they did that.

[@Crossfade1625]

that reset thing you talked about was happening in ICC lol; clearly they just forgot about it

[@plantseeker5829]

Where is that valor vendor on ally side?

[@lepakage2]

Right next to the justice points vendor which is the building past the PVP vendor

[@McKadesArKade]

I love the dmf change

[@soulman902]

I’m still a little confused on how this will work. Does that mean for this week I can get up to 4800 Valor and next week 6400?

[@Cho-pk5zs]

If you do the 4800 or whatever is then next week you’d only be able to get 1600. It only accumulates over the “cap” if you miss points from previous weeks.

[@Jaquan018]

​@@Cho-pk5zsIt does however treat any character that wasn't even able to get those points in the first place as "missing out". So if you just reached 85 and can do heroics you can earn all the points from previous weeks.

[@ExtBeast]

Would be nice to buff the valor points from raids aswell, so you don’t have to raid and do heroics on every main and alts

[@chrisgrosse1779]

apparently you can swap from normal to heroic without leaving the instance

[@conorf8091]

Bang on about the valour cap. I got 1k still to do this week and won’t be able to play until tomorrow… so yeah… I did clear all the raids though

[@garymesser]

expect the valor is bugged as fuck and alot of people are just getting there valor locked up to where everytime they do heroics they don't get any even after waiting a day or two

[@bos7522]

As buggy as Cata classic is right now, they are making some of the best qol updates by far. I've always loved Cataclysm, and somehow I'm loving it even more now. People coming from retail who have always hated Cata are obsessed with it right now. People saying "thats not my classic" are seeeeeething

[@SoulHero777]

I have 0 complaints with cata, it's been amazing! Best xpac so far. To many quality of life changes to name

[@gonzotown9438]

I still don't see Darkmoon on the Calendar, but they may have just missed that

[@Graahk-r8u]

they are changing it to every 2 weeks so I think they still need to update the calendar.

[@SofKac]

nice video ty for sharing

[@JoshLineberry]

Omfg this is amazing!

[@autowaagh99]

Should be able to trade Justice points for valor points

[@enayem1]

Does getting gear faster actually help players continue to play the game for longer? I feel like having everything done would make me quit? I guess it’s good for multiple alt players

[@johnjacquet1731]

I think the kicker here is, Blizzard is acknowledging the fact that their player base is getting older and can’t afford to sit at their computers for 8 hours a day like we did in OG Cata.

[@enayem1]

@@johnjacquet1731 I mean you still have to dedicate the time to get the valor points? Unless they increased the amount you get per boss and RDF you’re still dedicating the same amount of time maybe even longer. With the weekly caps I felt like I did my job this week and not felt like I fell behind. Now everyone will have a full tier set if I don’t play for a few days and I’m behind

[@JoshLineberry]

I have 12 80s and 3 toons at 81-85 so I'll never run out of crap to do lol.

[@bos7522]

I mean, I thought I was just sticking to my main and 1 alt for now, but with this change im actually bringing up my 2 remaining alts from 80. Have u really done everything? My main isn't even half heroic geared yet, my alt has barely done a single hc raid, PvPing on both as well... And lets say u do cap everything off, the content cadence is relatively fast, u can just put the game aside until the next update. Ideally they want u done with S1 of Cata by mid August so u'd be hyped for War Within and buy that.

[@johnjacquet1731]

@@bos7522I haven’t done everything, but it’s nice to know that I don’t have to spend the time every week if the time just isn’t there.

[@Scott-jn2xr]

you say you get 240 valor for completing every heroic, but that's not true. I'm not valor capped rn im 1300/6400 and currently my valor appears as red in dungeon finder.

[@_TG]

Amazing change

[@Pimula.Tsuchimi]

as if grinding rep through dungeons wasn't enough on the mains, now we get to grind them even more on alts! .... ugh. That best way to level alts is dungeon spam. double ugh

[@Crusader3010]

COME ONE THREE LIONS!

[@patgal8018]

the most amezing thing they did is raid bosses respawn oh wait that was a bug

[@johnnyb5309]

Good for the alts.

[@Sunnytales]

Sit in heroics for a day sounds like torture

[@bos7522]

I mean, u dont have to, its just an option for u to speed gear ur alt if u opt into it.

[@theoriginalmre]

The problem with heirlooms potentially being usable to Level 85, is that they don't help you for your average ilvl score to get into dungeons for their ivl requirements. All heirloom items are Level 1 items, regardless of level. So you still need to annoyingly keep higher ilvl items in your bags to pass the ilvl check.

[@heisenfeis]

just need on replacements for those slots in 333 ilvl Normals, Rep stuff ect.

[@joesilveira8468]

Yah I just keep higher ilvl in those slots so I can queue for dungeons while leveling. Sometimes I forget about it and de the items since they are green then can't queue for th3 dungeons i want specifically then off to ah again

[@MrHitsGame]

If you have a highier item from the same slot on the bag or bank your ilvl adapt from that item.

[@Redlegfo]

Every two weeks will drive down the decks price

[@FenrennYT]

*sigh* Maybe I'm the oddball out but they just keep making things easier and easier. It's not fun when gear is literally handed to you and everyone has full 359 gear within a week.

[@nogunk147]

In no iteration of WoW in current day is gear NOT handed to you pretty easily so you can get in to end game righy away. Blizzard realized more than a decade ago its not fun to progress at the rate of a turtle. You need to wake up and understand no one finds it fun anymore and they havent for more than a decade now

[@MrLapin85]

Its called "retail". They added it faster in Wotlk Cata with titan-dungs but yeah its where the game fall of for me (and many other vanilla/tbc-enjoyers).

[@lightner6924]

Wrong! This is a remake of the old game. It's not new. It's more fun to get gear and then get alts as well. This isn't mean to be progression like retail it's mean to be fun.

[@FenrennYT]

@@nogunk147 I need to wake up? Okay 😂 I’ve been playing WoW since Vanilla. Im very aware of Blizzard’s antics. That’s not why WoW lost its popularity but go off.

[@DankHillCometh]

No one has time to wait anymore. This isn't 2004-2015 wow. We are not kids anymore with free time.

[@MrPsykopeta]

oh great, ur poor alts now aren't tied to a 7hc weekly spawm they just discovered a 30hc spam, before moving to the 7hc weekly spam XD

[@salty22]

Big QoL for me would be just having BoA items like heirloom so you can just craft them on each toon you want them once you drop them

[@Cshredz]

[@matthewbailey7321]

Mass Loot, god please add mass loot

[@waex3344]

So many bugs in Tmog...

[@Truemann45]

well now DK is just gonna be the only tank anyone will allow because speed is even more of a factor. people will see a prot warrior and leave group, get on an alt, wait out the 30 minute penalty, and then log back on and hope for a DK tank next queue.

[@darrenegan3891]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@FajarOnce]
