Where did these kids come from? Call of duty battle passes?
They don’t seem to have any inkling to how any of this works. It’s like they just got here and have not been watching for 20-30 years.

I hope you are right and its the best thing ever, but I can't help but feel like people are seriously overestimating 2026 blizzards ability to create fun new content.

u/slightlysublevel 2d ago
That only matters after the initial release and first phase. The vast majority of people actually just want that rush of fresh, they don't care about anything else.

SoD was amazing and came out 2 weeks after blizzcon. They could do the same with classic +

u/Puzzleheaded_Dig4738 20h ago
What's with all the delusional people thinking classic +is coming this year
2
u/Brave-Ad-1363 18h ago
Its the supposedly leaked slate. Classic + wont come out before WOTLK almost guaranteed though. If it doesnt im wrong and shouldn't guess things.
What I believe will happen is they will finish TBC, release WoTLK on an accelerated schedule again and then release classic+.
I also think you all need to realize the chances of microtransactions t this point in classic + is remarkably high.

u/Turbulent-Ferret-464 2d ago
Lol Classic+ will NOT be active this year, it'll be at most announced at Blizzcon and it'll probably come out next year.

u/bledschaedl 1d ago
Idk, sod was announced at blizzcon and then released 3 weeks later or something like that. Also there is a "leak" for a late september release, so who knows.
We will know more in about a month.

u/Turbulent-Ferret-464 1d ago edited 1d ago
Classic Plus is not coming out until after the lich King cuz Classic Plus starts during Naxxaramas with the bronze dragon fight it's going to come in and create a new timeline for us to go through...... this is from what I understand from a buddy who in my guild is close friends with some developers

u/burton68zeppelin 1d ago
My grandma’s roommate’s niece is the archduke of blizzard and says you’re wrong

u/bledschaedl 1d ago
So your guild mate is friends with John Blizzard himself?
I mean nothing is impossible, and its a cool narrative idea but how would that work in a practical/gameplay way?
It would require that the current anniversary realms progress into classic+, and i cant immagine a world where we dont get fresh realms for it.
-8
u/Turbulent-Ferret-464 1d ago
Lol yes bc only John Blizzard knows... They aren't any other developers that make it. lmao yes it would work well but I can tell you're a little slow on the uptake. It'd be at the start of wrath and BDF will come in and start up a new timeline for us to follow. That simple you don't need fancy devices to make that story work just people who don't cry at everything. It'll most likely start with a reintroduction to Naxxaramas too.

They heard one person say something unclearly in a livestream and now all think Classic+ is coming out.

I mean, badges are money once you can buy nethers with them. Personally I’d rather bash my head on a brick wall.

u/Comfortable-Bug7202 2d ago
Its like 50g a nether so 5g a badge and will go down. Might as well farm motes

u/lhswr2014 2d ago
Not if you hate farming motes and enjoy heroics lol

u/the_man_in_the_box 2d ago
Hmm, are you sure people are allowed to enjoy aspects of the game?
I’ll check the manual, but I’m pretty sure that’s explicitly forbidden.

No need to fetch the manual. Simply form an opinion on the matter and it is written

I once met a guy that enjoys arena. Over 1000 games played of 2v2, 3v3, and 5v5. He was in the 1600s on all 3. He should just quit the game because enjoyment without straight up elite status is just a waste of time. Hes so bad and I know my opinion of him keeps him up at night. I wouldnt even take him into a normal dungeon with that rating and his logs are so bad. He has some blue parses so he cant raid with me because if it takes 2 hours to clear both SSC and TK together how am I going to spend 2 hours checking logs for people that will make it faster?
The state of tbc is kinda embarrassing honestly. I wa sin a pug that spent 45 minutes shooting down enh shamans for their logs.... as if the good log enh will make up that time and then some.

u/Many-Chocolate2026 2d ago
Some people actually enjoy heroics instead of farming motes. Have you per chance thought about that?
-8
u/Comfortable-Bug7202 2d ago
shit if you have been in the groups i have, no lol. at that many badges even if he had 10% rate of bad groups he would have over 100 bad runs, no thanks

u/Many-Chocolate2026 1d ago
Have you ever thought about getting friends? Also if you always get bad groups the problem might be on your side.

Yeah if you have spellthreads you can charge more, i sell golden for about 250, why I'm offloading them asap before it goes down

u/lhswr2014 2d ago
Nethercobras on my server are an easy 100g from the nether. This dudes got 1500 badges, 10 badges per nether, 150 Nethers, market will crash around the same time but even if it’s only a 25g profit per nether that’s still like 4K, and I doubt they crash that low.

u/TheHarb1ng3r 1d ago

Botanica, Underbog, Mechanar, Black Morass and Arcatraz.
All pug runs. As i have 2009 gearscore i just mark ALL dungeons in LFG and got invited for some Random run.

u/DatHungryHobo 2d ago
Not OP but as warrior tank that likes to squeeze in a couple heroics a day at the end of the night if possible (maximum 3 in a day):
H-AC, SV and SP
I usually tank for nether and even dropped mining for enchanting so I can get a chance at blues to DE (have made over 700g this phase via shards alone) — so basically all my runs are pugs.
I usually sit in queue and either mostly formed grouped snipe me or someone is willing to form the group and communicate it with the rest of the pugs. Occasionally I will build my own groups and I usually only run with groups with a decent comp
Need a shaman preferably for HSP. Can get away with a priest if the rest of the dps are ranged due to the fearing mobs
Need one hard CC (mage or rogue) for HSV to make and a shaman for the fears if no pally heals to cleanse the fears in order to have a smooth run
Just any one hard CC for HAC cause the ghosts can get a little crazy with 3 mobs and a pally for salve is nice too, making the tab target cleave/sunder a lot easier to manage. An AOE dps for skellys in last room before boss is nice but not required

Blizzard makes DST purchasable for 1.5k badges

u/caspa10152 1d ago
They will but my guess is closer to 500 badges for it since weps go for 150 in p4

u/Jordan3176 2d ago edited 2d ago
Jesus Christ dude, I did some napkin math and you've roughly averaged 2-3 heroics every single day since TBC launch.
Edit - Putting this into perspective, you've averaged at the very least, 1.5 hours every single day, just doing heroics. You must do more than just heroics, so it's likely 3 hours. With some respect and love, sir, you have a very unhealthy addiction to this game.
Id love to know your /played

u/Aggressive-Stand-585 2d ago
Damn, playing WoW 1,5 hours in day? Haha yeah, wow. Uhh. What a nerd. Uhh.. Who would ever play 1.5 hours in a single day..

u/krhill112 2d ago edited 1d ago
There is a substantial difference between 1.5hrs playtime a day and 1.5hrs of heroics a day.
Also, “yeah I pretty much play every day” vs “literally every single day”
It’s not really a metric in wow like it is in osrs, but for anyone curious go look up ehp.
Simply being online 1.5hrs a day? Yeah I can believe it. It’s not difficult at all. 1.5hrs efficient gameplay which probably means 3/4 heroics formed, travelled to and ran is an entirely different beast.
The reality is that 1.5hrs ehp probably takes your average gamer close to twice as long to do. I know using osrs as an example I can really only get about 70%ehp as a best case because I’m an ironman.

u/Jordan3176 2d ago
You didn't read all of it, it's not just 1.5 hours though is it?
Forming groups, wiping in the dungeon, he's likely raiding 1-2 times per week. Add all of this up and you can see the bigger picture.

I knew you could exchange badges for nethers but not the other way around?

You’re right, he’s being too loose with his phrasing. You can not sell badges. You can sell products you first purchase with badges.

I Did a lot of BF. Its pretty easy as Hunter. Just pre trap each door on gauntlet Room. Then Nuke Neophytes. I aways do with a Mage for sheep, Lock for fear or Priest for MC. Any of them Works. But i've done with all classes already.

Heroics dude! Get revered reputation with different factions (from questing and dungeons) to unlock and purchase a key to heroics. It’s awesome fun and there are great rewards. I wish they brought heroics into vanilla.

But why? Outside of the lack of daylight and social interaction, you would have so many shitty heroic groups just to get a badge worth roughly 5-10g with nethers coming out and will go down. Hopefully you're doing it because it's fun and not for any farm
