Would have been great to make guild housing, instead of player housing. Would have made guild community even better. Some guild NPCs, maybe the guild could hire NPCs like guards, shopkeepers and other stuff. Also trophies for defeating end-game bosses and other achievements.

Player Housing was actually added in Mists of Panderia. The farm was a player only instance and didn't have a ton of NPCs like the garrisons. It was just a slice of peaceful life out in the country.

I actually enjoyed the Garrisons, I just wish they had more options for customization.

[@Titi-pu2hl]

1 : MC was never made in a day. the myth that we always hear is that it was made in a week, even that is wrong, they did the basic layout in a week and it had weeks/months of polishing, creating npcs, quests etc.... It was made as bonus unplanned content by some devs so it didn't have too many exclusives textures and models yes but it wasn't rushed in a day or week 2 : Blizzard didn't plan hybrid classes to be bad. hybrid tax is a thing yes but they didn't actually plan them to be bad they just overtimated the hybrid tax, they wanted it to be as good as the other class overall but less good at a role, not bad overall. hybrid tax is a way to not make them so much better than the other classes, not make them worse. 3 : Paladins beta spells removal have nothing to do with hybrid tax and balance, they could have overtuned paladins with 80 spells if they wanted. They just were placeholders before the seal/blessing system was in 4 : There was a different(much bigger) version of ironforge in the beta/alpha version of the game where Old Ironforge was open and freely accessible, they just made it inaccessible it when they remade Ironforge.

[@ivenstorm]

I'm going to say you haven't really looked into MC have you? Nearly every enemy model is a reused model from other parts of the game. Golemagg is Bael'Gar from BRD. Lucifron, Gehennas, Shazzrah, Sulferon Harbinger, and Major Domo Executus are all recolored Ambassador Flamelash from BRD, the only ones that were unique at the time were Core Hounds and Ragnaros. Every other mobs was either a reskin or reuse of other models. The raid wasn't tuned when it was released, and many bosses weren't easily killed until days/weeks after the dungeon was released. If anything, the classic experience we have now is a much easier experience just due to it being tuned completely. Originally there wasn't even an attunement quest. You had to enter through Blackrock Depths to get into the raid. It wasn't until 1.3 that the npc was added to bypass BRD entirely. Also.... I think you don't really know how big of a company Blizzard is.... It isn't hard to assume that they had 20-30 people working in their art department at the time of MC. Now, was it finished in a day? probably not. But you make it sound like the raid was in development for months. It isn't out of line of thought that they could complete the first 40 man raid design in a couple days. Especially with a company that size.

[@Titi-pu2hl]

​@@ivenstorm it's facts from john staats's book. he did the basic layout of the raid by himself in a week. Then it took some time to do the mechanics, spawns, some new models and textures, items, quests, testing...

[@strongfp]

@@ivenstorm MC was out in the first open beta ... I remember going there when I was dead and the entrance was outside of BRM. It definitely wasn't built in a day or a week, it was on the books for quite sometime, I even have an art book from Blizz that clearly shows molten core concept art. People tend to forget, and the video creator didn't touch on this as well, that T1 and T0 armor sets didn't have any special skins until around the Maraudan patch, MC was always accessible, I remember going there at around level 56 with my guild after we spent hours getting everyone attuned. The reason why not many people actually raided back then was because you needed a decently geared tank, a lot of people don't realize there was a time when monsters and bosses could basically one shot a warrior even with shield wall up, it's called a crushing blow, and they were a lot nastier back then.

[@0xzi]

The problem with Garrisons is they actually offered you content to farm, housing needs to be purely cosmetic imo.

[@lPsychoMax]

I know right?! All we wanted was a small house where we could place furniture (a good idea for an extra profession) and trophies from content we did (like achievements). Who doesn't want shadowmourne over their fireplace or the head of onyxia in their living room? :D

[@m.c.martin]

0xzi I loved the Garrison idea! However, I’m disappointed I couldn’t command my own fleet, and go to battle with them. Like having a Garrison Battle Ground with a couple other players seems like a fascinating idea to me. It by far was one of my more favorite expansions, but it really was for the PvP side. I understand that the PvE side sucked. The Garrison idea will always be one of my most favorite parts of WOD/WOW, but there was a lot of wasted potential

[@letsgobrandon8101]

[@cygnarblue]

Housing like they had I Wildstar was brilliant. It was in a separate instance so you wouldn’t have the game full of housing plots . Also anywhere in the game you could get drops not only from dungeons but also in pvp and raids . This would open up the whole game again to explore than this “ end game content” that all the game seems to be about now .

[@ilithyia7445]

yeah the housing in wildstar was really nice... miss the game :(

[@Sokanoted]

MC was not rushed, and MC was not built in a day. Nor was it built in a week. The base graphics and layout of the raid instance was created in a week. But it still took much much more time to create all the bosses, mechanics, loot, and trash mobs.

[@adammorin2955]

thats not true. Mc was indeed rushed in 2 weeks or less.

[@IJJusion]

Yeah, blizz have come out and said they have been miss quoted on that, definitely took longer than a week or two.

[@123videos456]

You can feel more went into the boss mechanics of Onyxia than Ragnaros. Where we are in Classic Wow is in between MC and the release of BWL. In my guild we are geared enough to burn Ragnaros down before he hits phase 2 but Ony still has stricter mechanics and phases.

[@c.ladimore1237]

not sure why it is so difficult. lotro nailed player housing with instanced neighborhoods. eq2 had elaborate guild and player houses with tons of furnishings. wow got generic garrisons that are basically gone now...

[@Krieghandt]

The original engine didn't handle instancing so well. And if you think about it, there aren't many objects just lying around. Loot is contained in bodies, etc. So I think the original database may not have been able to handle the load of lots of user items. remember, WoW development was in the days of dial up, and no cloud servers to store terabytes of data.

[@c.ladimore1237]

@@Krieghandt ty for the insight. eq2 was released at almost the same time as wow, so i guess they just didn't think the code thru enough, but really who would have imagined the boom.? i mean, it took 10 years for personal loot. ((this sounded sarcastic on re-reading, but it was not intended))

[@Krieghandt]

@@c.ladimore1237 exactly, before WoW, no mmo had exceeded 400000 subs, much less concurrent users. Eve Online has had to move engines/databases several times, and they are still limited to ~40k concurrent users. I clearly remember logging into WoW, and then going and making supper. The log in would take 45+ minutes. So Blizzard had no idea what was coming.

[@etaxalo]

Wildstar is the only mmo i played, that had player housing and in my opinion it mailed it. I loved building my jungle.

[@edluke3415]

An interesting fact that wasn't listed was that tier 2 gear had a chance to drop off the bosses in molten core due to the devs not properly setting up the bosses loot tables. Before BWL came out there were guilds that MC on farm that already had 4 to 6 prices of tier 2 gear, when the max amount of tier two gear any player should've had access to was the pants off Rag and the Helm off Onyxia. The messed up loot tables led to a legendary neck dropping only once off of the boss with the earth elementals that exploded and threw every one near them away when they died. I think the player's name who got the necklace was named Noctyn. It had a on-wearing bonus of giving you a permanent lightning shield that did very little damage and had stam, str, and agi as its stats.

[@legionnairestentorian1853]

I had no issue with garrisons.. what I had and issue was with that it impacted the actual gaming meaning you could or had to do stuff for the game in your garrison. If it was a place just for you to customize I wouldn’t have cared.

[@jewsco]

Exactly, that it killed mining and herbing professions is what made them bad and then the gold people made off of having multiple ones killed the economy

[@gonz0r3turns93]

MC was rushed but no where near like you tried to say. When the dev said MC was created in a day he is literally just talking about the cave MC is contained in was created in 1 day, it took far longer to actually design the mob layout and mechanics!

[@Whytho2000]

You could enter Old Iron Forge with your pets using Eye of the beast. You had to run against the door, and the pet would teleport through the door. Then you had like 30s or a minute of running down to see everything. Thats as far as I got when I first played lol

[@BigBodyBiggolo]

Ahh yes the good old days, i remember doing that and going to Quel'Thalas and Gilneas and such. It was awesome

[@williamwhitecage7988]

I actually enjoyed garrisons (my favorite thing in WoD)... what would stop them from making it in its own instance but be open to flagged friends / invited guests? Though I think I'd enjoy an individual house to a whole garrison (still though, I like my 'little town') :)

Molten Core's design is perfect for a starter raid because of the massive unobstructed sightlines and less emphasis on movement and position.

[@thatcanadian6698]

I wish they had left Azshara the way it was. It was a good place to farm. Lots of nodes (minerals, herbs) and plenty of creatures to skin. Best of all...there was never anybody there so you would have the run of the place...most of the time.

[@roblogified]

Looking at the thumbnail brought back so much fucking rage. They PROMISED.

[@littleraven89]

Their excuse for no player housing always rubbed me the wrong way. SO many other games do it so well. It always felt like they used Garrisons as a scapegoat to be like "See! no one likes it!" I always go back to Wildstar and more recently FF14 on how to do housing right. It should add to the world and not take away from it.

[@gileee]

Player housing reminded me how they did it in Star Wars Galaxies. The game was actually big enough for houses to be in the world itself. They had an issue where, because other players couldn't destroy your house, groups would build a wall of houses with one entrance and when another group of players entered they'd close the entrance. Because there was no teleportation or "I'm stuck" option, they were utterly trapped and had to either kill each other, till one person was left there forever, or call a gm.

For WoW can be something similar to Runes of Magic, but bigger.

[@brucepraska7781]

I kinda like the idea of player housing in wow make it something as an after bfa end game thing like in such a way that you have horde and alliance in one place maybe if you want to have a crafting area for different professions, open up all the professions and have it so you can sell it to npcs like that really isn't asking for much

[@m.c.martin]

It’s so messed up how is Dark Spear Trolls don’t even have our own city, and these new guys, the Zandalar Trolls have their own Meso-America style city. Just give us a city already! Give the Gnomes theirs, the Goblins theirs, the Worgens Gilneas back, give the Panda’s a sanctuary city (like a neutral city) so that couple can be reunited at long last. Like is all this really too much to ask for? Plus the Night Elves and Undead should be given their cities back as well.

[@Hecatate]

I don't want player housing......I want a GUILD HALL....I would like to have a place to hang out with my guild that is not in the 'public' city.

Everquest had that feature (I forgot the expansion name) but it was off the Realm of Tranquility. There was a building with a door.

Druid is actually the best hybrid class in my opinion, they can tank dungs, heal dungs and raids, while cat dps is low its great for solo questing/grinding. and pls their rotation is not boring. While pally can tank certain dungs like ST and strat, they are not really good in other dungs like L/UBRS and BRD etc, their dps is good after all the potions, but its a lot of works. i haven't played shadam a lot but i know they can dps and heal, but not tank, similar to priest. druid is not the best class by far, but the flexibility really makes it good. In my server there is a tank shortage, every time I log on ppl/friends ask me to tank some dungs for them, so even are paying to find a tank (im druid)

[@lPsychoMax]

They could probably revamp it for another expansions easy. It's pretty much a warcraft 1,2,3 base. Which the games often claim they move about as you travel (poor peons). Then again, a single garrison without phasing would probably be a good idea; maybe whatever you build shows only people who built that. So you can trade with other players who have other buildings.

[@xentaatnex8261]

What about the huge Kalimdor zone Mount Hyjal? It was fun figuring how to enter this place and exploring the massive zone along with its mysterious instance portal. At the very end next to the world tree Blizzard left some under construction barriers.

[@edluke3415]

They accelerated too quickly on the stats on raid gear for there to be any more raids after Naxxramas. Towards the end of vanilla, a fully decked out player was basically like a level 70 player fighting against a BWL geared player. My old guild mates and I used to talk about this all the time and we basically came to the conclusion that vanilla WoW should've lasted at least three years before the burning crusade was released and that AQ and Naxxramas gear was too big of a leap from BWL gear. The Hyjal raid and the Emerald Dream raid would've been perfect for incremental upgrades from BWL instead of basically becoming miniature raid bosses from AQ and especially Naxx gear.

[@TheCrimsonOrchestra]

Dark Age of Camelot had a great player housing feature.

[@Starplaya]

1:00 wrong that portal shown was planned to be a new 5 man lvl 60 dungeon called stormwind canals or sewers. But then burning crusade came and it did not make it into the game, tho you still could find the name of the files, empty folders, in the database.

[@HeavyHaulagePilbara]

They should have added Guild Halls.

[@roblogified]

I would like to see player housing in classic behind that gate in SW, and somewhere in Org, maybe some deep cave under Org (Orcs would want to protect their "civilians" from Gnomish flying machines dropping bombs) but with really basic houses where you can only really customize by putting in trophies (like every rare and raid boss drops something you can take to an alchemist to have it preserved as a trophy to put in your house) and a mailbox outside, but no vendors, no AH, etc so that the cities are still used. Maybe an anvil outside for repairs, and a cooking stove inside? Basically a small handful of amenities to keep people using cities but still giving us our own little place to hang out. I will say that houses in Dark Age of Camelot didn't take away from the cities because all the trainers and vendors were in the cities, though it was the only place for auctioning stuff. I think keeping AHs just where they are in classic would be perfect though.

Some other things of note that were nerfed/changed in closed beta. Dwarves could be Mages, mages could also sheep more than one target, you could eat/drink in combat, rogues had better energy regen and went through considerable "balancing" due to clothies bitching about not being able to play their class and defend themselves from rogues in pvp due to our southshore/TM pvp experiences. I also do not remember Onyxia being before MC at all, I remember MC coming first. I seem to remember people complaining about not having dragons to kill. Oh yeah and I was the first person who got into caverns of time in the game. I wall glitched through the entrance. It was developed as far as the long run down, the neat astral wall imagery and even the instances. But when you tried to zone into the instances it just bumped u back so there was nothing to do in there.

Think with garrisons class Halls and renown and professions they’re fine tuning things slowly so that player housing will encompass the best of these things and be customisable (like profession specific crafting tables which we now need in dragonflight) and find the right balance cus with housing people want basically the sims level of customising and that just would take forever but using textures and resources already available would be a good shot

Ideal player housing would in no way be mandarory, it would not impact your character progression, any rewards tied to it would be visusl upgrades and if you didn't want to do it... there is no need to! It isn't mandatory. Go hang out where you want.

Good Video, really interesting! But please... Its Gnomeregan (also written on the map you showed) and not "Omnomnom" ;p. Btw whats that dialect your speaking? As a non native it sounds "different" with that emphasis almost like donald trump. Where is that from?

Garrisons were like player housings but it turned to world of Garrisoncraft

[@Bob23973]

Old IF was created probably for later expansions.

[@kazuyoshimishimura]

Player housing , guild houses or garrisons are anti mmo concepts , buildings like that makes game world more empty , you cant see other players where they in houses so naturally world became empty and vice versa im too against ideas like that.

hes wrong about them not planning MC, the 40 man raid was a new and big thing to happen, they rushed it tho.

Pardon?

[@Raoul9753]

#6: All of Vanilla was rushed. Vanilla in itself is an unfinished game, many things BLizzard wanted in the game didnt make it into the game until TBC.

[@spiritfree5050]

Hyjal Emerald dream multiple Raids never finished yeah the original plans for Vanilla there would be 10 times the content and not talking about the Expansions either I mean in Vanilla

[@Tumbledweeb]

Isn't it just absolutely gorgeous in it's unfinished glory, though? I love it!

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

Honestly, go back and look through some of those early patch notes, it's like "Druids now have talents they can spend points on" or some classes were missing their 3rd talent trees and stuff. Plus almost all of the classes got fairly major talent rework through the first year or so as they were still figuring things out.

[@Titi-pu2hl]

Wrong everygame are unfinished in some ways, devs initially make a crazy to do list and stuff they can add but they know they will never be able to add everything, they just reduce the list as time goes on, that doesn'tmean the game is unfinished. WoW had an initial plan is 50 dungeons (lol ) Blizzzard actually stopped making content because they tought there was too much to do already, they tought finishing hyjal unnecessary(and they were probably right) Or then there isn't a single game out there that is actually finished, because devs could have always done more

[@Raoul9753]

@@Titi-pu2hl There is a difference between "releasing a game without extra content you did want to put in" and "releasing a game without finishing the basics". One good example is the Paladin. UNtil a few patches in, the Paladins Talent tree didnt even make sense, because it was thrown together last minute. theres a reason they changed it mid Vanilla, but it still wasnt really balanced until TBC.

[@Brekner]

Sure but then warriors that are hybrids (dps and tank) are best tanks and best DPSers at the end lol.

[@VulpesChama]

Garrisons would have needed some slight changes. First, two variants isn't enough. Not just split them into Horde and Alliance, but it should also have considered the Race of the Commander/Player. This is worse for the Horde, than it is for the Alliance, though. While a dwarf or Gnome and even Draenei would be willing to live in a Stormwind-design garrison, a Bloodelf sitting in an orcish Garrison just looks misplaced. Just as with giving the options of having Guards of certain races, the option to change the design of the Garrison would have already been a good step. Secondly the primary building, especially the interior may have needed some more choices. Just a bit more customisation. Not necessarily being able to put tables on the wall, but at least the choice whether there is a table and the kind of table standing there. (I still adore the Wildstar Housing system, even though the way housing was placed within the world was strange (yet for Wildstar fitting)). Third, using the Garrison for the Guild, or as a kind of Hub for groups like the lately introduced Communities. - But personally, being able to adjust the Garrison to the Race of my character would already redeem the Garrison for me.

[@silvarranightshade8578]

There was so much potential with the Garrison concept, but Blizzard just really dropped the ball, and it felt like they didn't care. Whether they decide to do player housing or guild halls sometime in the future, I hope they don't just stop like they did with garrisons. New secondary professions could be added to really open up customizing options, and even expand current main professions. Have tailors and leatherworkers make carpets or wall hangings, blacksmiths could make armor racks to display your armor on, so many possibilities. Blizzard just needs to go the distance, not drop the ball at the 20 yard line.

Ret Paladin back in Vanilla could do good dps if you got the right gear.

[@edluke3415]

Not really, they went oom way to quick and we're just auto attack dmg. They did great in pvp, but that's because they had a buff for almost every situation until they went out of mana trying to burst and went back to having to auto attack or drink a mana pot. The amount of mp5 gear a pally would've needed to do substantial DPS would've taken up valuable DPS gear slots. They got their time to shine in Naxxramas though.

@@edluke3415 If you got the right trinket and were able to get the right gear your dps could get as good as a warriors without spamming seals.

You are wrong about the hybrid tax. They dident intentionaly make them usless specs. Yes they did give them a "hybrid" tax, but that whas because they thought they woul dbe too strong if not. They hade intentions of all specs working for raids. They dident intend to gimp them to be usless

Player housing in FF14, yet god forbid you try to move in a town without bumping into someone every 5 feet. And actually, housing / crafting would increase world acticity
