[@TheFrugalVideoGamer]

The primary reason I didn't like faction-specific classes, as much as they made sense, is the fact that the developer's way of balancing end-game content was to force specific specialties - Warriors *had* to be Prot, Paladins and Shamans *had* to be healers, etc. because they lacked any gear available to do anything else, and allowing one of those classes to do something the other couldn't do would imbalance the end-game.

[@Valvad0ss]

This has nothing to do with factions.

[@hahehihohu12]

Brawlers was hell of a fun

[@darcraven01]

yeah, good times. it was one of the things i focused on every season/expansion it was active. hopefully one day it'll return.

[@Marconius6]

They had the race change thing in Caverns of Time too; though I think in that case it was just a visual change.

[@ShadowNyte96]

Yeah, CoT dungeons only changed you visually to random races that made sense for the time you were in. You retained your racials as normal In Dazar'alor you get fully changed into the race, and it's actually pretty smart instead of doing it like how the orb of deception does it. Instead of say gnomes becoming Tauren like they do with that toy, they become goblins

[@GreenShellGamer]

I miss archeology, but I think im the only one on earth who does

[@Maria_Erias]

I've spent quite a few evenings doing archaeology with friends and guildmates. It's one of those semi-mindless things you can do while sitting around in voice or while someone's streaming a show or movie or something. It was also a fun way to level up, too, plus the chance of actually finding something nice, like the skeletal raptor mount or one of the weapons from Wrath.

[@GreenShellGamer]

@@Maria_Erias I was the same way, archeology was my favorite thing to do when i just wanted to mindlessly play while watching a movie or something in my 2nd monitor!

[@AlxndrXX]

I have the ultramarine qiraji battle tank and bone raptor 😮

[@tyrgannusgaming6657]

Nah, it's criminal that it was just dropped. At least first aid kind of exists within tailoring. Archaeology is not more boring than fishing in my opinion and that'll never be on the chopping block. Really disappointed when Shadowlands dropped it

[@Maria_Erias]

@@GreenShellGamer This is where I think other MMOs have a real leg up over WoW, and why I (and a lot of other people, I think) got excited when they said during the pre-Dragonflight interviews that they were going to work on making "all the new things in Dragonflight evergreen" - which turned out to be all hype and no substance. In FF14, if I'm in the same mood where I want to do something chill that doesn't involve too many brain cells, there's always harvesting and crafting (which are both more interesting in their own right), ocean fishing, playing games or doing GATEs at the Gold Saucer, rearranging or outright redecorating my house/apartment, working on Shared FATEs, or farming out old relic weapons. Or even going to one of the clubs that players run, usually with a flesh-and-blood DJ streaming music on Twitch and just hanging out. In WoW, archaeology was one of those equivalent things to do. Or the various fishing dailies that stopped with Legion, I think it was. Or finding all the different and unique NPCs and items for my garrison. I got excited when they introduced the Azerothian Mysteries or whatever it was called in Dragonflight... and then just had the one event, Traitor's Rest, and that was it.

[@Zoltri]

I think the idea of getting to swap factions is neat, but a major issue I personally take with it is if you're someone who really cares about what your character looks like, being forced to swap to another race can be kind of annoying. I think if they were to introduce that, ideally they'd want to provide an option for players to choose which race they changed into, and get to customize what it looks like. Its honestly the core issue I've always had with racials in WoW, needing to make the choice between visual preference and player power I don't think is a really fun experience.

[@jakem6438]

I definitely agree with most of these especially Brawlers Guild though I was kind of expecting the Mists of Pandaria Farm to be #1 but it didn't even make the list! The farm had: ** A small daily quest hub with a reputation ** Personal farming plots, but not enough to really mess up the economy ** Farm upgrades based on reputation and world content ** Integration with Cooking Profession that was engaging I think Warlords soured everyone with the Garrison that Bliz never went back to the small scale version that was actually fun!

[@camma12]

I really wish they would bring back class quests mabey even give us a seperate class storyline every expansion.

[@Maria_Erias]

The Order Halls were a great foundation for that. Throwing in an hour or so of questing in each expansion that expanded on class fantasy and lore, and maybe gave new spell effects (like warlock green fire), transmogs, or other unique class things. It would add in an interesting reason to actually level up an alt in a class other than just "a different way of pushing button to see number go up" that dominates WoW's end game.

[@mtbarnes1]

The #1 thing I would like to see return to WoW is unique pets & pet abilities. That rare spawn Owl, wolf, spider, etc... shouldnt be the same as every other one of their species in the world.

[@Xathian]

I kinda wish we'd get not only that but the pet talent tree from WotLK back. I really liked pets when they had talents and unique abilities and all that good stuff. They felt like they were more than just a cosmetic damage attachment to your character.

[@jotarokujo3603]

As cool as this is, it does also lead to everyone wanting to run the same pet. Rather than having a bunch of interesting and unique hunter pets running around, all you'll ever see is whichever pet the community deems strongest.

[@mrfathed3129]

The Brawlers guild was genuinely so fun for a while. At least while still kind of new. People were cheering for each other and being genuinely helpful to other players.

[@vin_zin6281]

Sephuz + Aggramar's Stride + bear tartare + haste/speed set was amazing for speed running old raids. It was something like 230% run speed lol

[@alexd2249]

As a classic player, the challenge modes seem pretty interesting. The obvious issue with stuff like that, is that blizzard will inevitably balance around these modes and cause the rest of the game to degrade pretty heavily. If you need interrupts for challenge modes, then you'll need every class to have interrupts. Or if your class struggles with mana, faster pace will exclude you more than likely. While I can enjoy m+...it definitely just turns the game into a moba, where rather than playing better players as you improve, you instead just dungeon grind against stronger npcs.

[@MrLolguy93]

Damn shame that we couldn't have Artifact weapons be an evergreen system I hope they come back one day

[@randomrandom7208]

What's the point? We have heroic talents now they are identical to artifact trees and even allow some choice and if you want the looks you can mog your weapon.

[@ryanmullen483]

Ya idk artifact weapons were pr cool for a bit but I distinctly remember being excited for weapon drops to be a thing again. As a melee player nothing matches the excitement of getting that big boi weapon drop and that was missing in legion

[@phantom0456]

There’s more forgotten updates here than you can shake your WillE at!!!

[@deenman23]

faction specific classes wouldnt even matter now considering its all crossfaction besides random ques,so...i guess it would be fine

[@JacobPeacock-vu9xp]

You know the worst thing that they done is not put the thousand needles riverboat in the Mount journal!

[@Nightstalker314]

At least you didn't forget about clickbait thumbnails.

[@Xijor]

Artifacts were great… until the final bit was just a never ending Artifact Power grind for a small but necessary boost for min maxing and raidlogging.

[@pcxPOT]

Nah fuck artifacts and ap grinding

[@Dalex19]

Love these retrospective videos taking us through 20 years of wow history! So many subjects for you to tackle.

[@njuk1827]

Whoa, that was a nostalgia hit right in the dooker. But there are some points i want to point out or ask the reason behind it: Cross faction stuff, yeah it was pretty annoying that Horde dominated, but f.e the we change to goblin to kill Kil'Jaeden was like how much percantage of the playerbase affected. But all in all i agree, funny tho that PvP is still completly unbalanced to pve (racial) and i dont know why its not removed. Just a side node, you cant Q up for stuff while in a cross faction group, you can group up for custom made(m+, raids etc, but cant whisper the leader your hard boug.. fought Ahead of the Curve achievment) Regarding Challengemode: I did it myself and there was a BIS list, cause Ilvl didnt matter but the item, it didnt came out clear that you just walk in and its fair game. Special items with unique effects were absolutely busted, remember that Quest reward? Yeah, too bad you deleted that (/s) Ty for the nice vid, i enjoyed the ride

[@phantom0456]

Still want Blizz to put reforging back into the game… even if it were only say, 20% of a stat reforged it would still be well-loved and appreciated… and they could just give us some kind of reforging toy so that we could reforge as soon as we got new gear if we wanted. I still find the old school WoW formula of guaranteed sockets on given pieces of gear, meta sockets and enchants for most pieces of gear far more satisfying than the WoD

[@hutselfrutsel3897]

Brawlers guild. Lets get ready to rumble!!!

[@Alex-un1th]

TBH they should never give Ashbringer and Thrall's hammer to players.

[@scorpdelord883]

you could say that with literally evey single artifat weapon DX

[@Pablochette98]

If Ashbringer was so good why didn't they make Ashbringet 2?

[@taylorniall5756]

ASHBRINGET

[@teo2805]

As a new player thats only dabbed into legion and after (i know story from previous expansions) im mad about Artifact weapons, but I guess Hero talents are kind of a replacement. I just dont want them to do away with Hero talents next xpac. Id like them to revisit class hall and something like Garrisons but less grand scale

[@paradigmshift7541]

Where timestamps

[@Maas_Grande]

Speed runs are stupid. Challenge modes to execute a maneuver are fine, but speed runs are always unbalanced even with gear normalization, and discourage a lot of class roles. They cater to a 0.000001% of autists.

[@Rob-147]

First edit: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@jonathanbrown1176]

Anderson Paul Wilson Brian Smith George

[@seansaxon641]

KZbin makes more money on your videos than on any others'. Ads seem to pop up every 5 minutes or so. I keep coming back though, so keep it up.

[@rodchester3]

FIRST????

[@Nespeon]

You made it dude!

[@JD-hc5rv]

SUPER MEGA ULTRA DISAGREE with faction specific classes/content. really really really hate this so much. not being able to play the class I wanted and play with my friends really sucked about wow classic.

[@TheRealCeeJai]

Hit and Expertise should be brought back. The simplification of stats was the beginning of the slippery slope, imo.

[@josephxp96]

Hit stats are never fun, good riddance to them.

[@randomrandom7208]

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

[@alihorda]

And why hit /expertise would be good? I'm glad they are gone

[@Hamel1n]

woooooooooooooooooo

[@stagnacja1]

6:55 Not onlu hunters and priest . Rogue in SoD too

[@jasonwowhero8147]

16:06 Its so sad that khadgar died of ligma

[@MariaCollins-r7l]

Your videos always stand out from many others. Thank you for your talent and hard work!🎃🛤🍉
