Classic+ Survey: Raids

Should there be level up raids that give strong items, but require 10+ players? (eg, SoD BFD, Gnomeregan, Sunken Temple)

No

Yes

No opinion

How do you feel about catch-up raids? (Eg ZG, AQ20)

Catch-up raids invalidate all the work I did in the previous tier by making it easy to get loot as powerful as the harder to get stuff - don't do more of these

I don't really care, so long as the content is fun

Catch-up raids are great for gearing alts and more of them would be a welcome addition to Classic+

No opinion

How do you feel about RP elements in raids? (Eg TOO SOON EXECUTUS, Phase 1 of Kel'Thuzad, etc.)

I want to see numbers on the screen, not some boss giving a speech for the 20th time, remove them

The first or second time it's fun to experience, but eventually it's just annoying, so some option to skip the RP would be a welcome change

Removing the RP removes what makes Classic special, don't change anything and make sure anything new in Classic+ stays true to the spirit of RP

No opinion

How do you feel about raids getting nerfed days/weeks/months after launch?

Nerfs are inevitable, the easier the content is the better

Nerfs should happen once, announced well ahead of time, and then NEVER AGAIN for that content. Things changing rapidly makes it difficult to assess my progress compared to others

Outliers aside, nerfs never feel good and should never happen, let players struggle - we'll get it eventually

No opinion

Given the choice of a new raid being spoiled by PTR but launched relatively bug free, vs a completely unseen raid but fairly buggy, which would you prefer?

I prefer the PTR - it's okay for the raid to be spoiled so long as the first day isn't a total mess

PTR, but keep it very brief and more limited without exposing the entire raid

I prefer the bugs - the wonder of not having seen what's in the raid and going in blind is the most fun

How do you feel about raids and/or bosses requiring resistances in Classic+?

Resistances are annoying, the entire system should be removed

It's okay for the tanks or a couple players to need them, but the entire raid shouldn't need resistances

Resistances are a fun way to do horizontal progression and are true to Classic, I would be disappointed if resistances were removed

I don't really care, whatever

Should raids have multiple difficulty levels?

No, keep the raids one difficulty, it gets annoying when there are so many different versions of a boss

Yes, I like my raids (easy/hard) but I don't want to gatekeep other people who want the other option

No opinion

How would you want the difficulty of raids in Classic+ to be?

Keep them about as hard or even easier than Classic, I don't want to prog multiple days a week just to kill bosses

The difficulty should be about as hard as some of the raids were in SoD - tough for some, easy for others, but definitely harder than their originals

Raids could be harder, but I'd want the amount/quality of the loot to go up with the difficulty

I love Mythic raids, so make them hard!

If there WERE different difficulties of raids, how should the loot differ? Select all that apply.

Better stats and/or bonuses

Higher rarity

Cosmetically different

More loot drops per boss

Other

Absolutely no difference

Should cooldowns reset in raids after a wipe/successful kill? (eg, recklessness, battle rez, etc)

No, leave it as it was in Vanilla, CD's shouldn't reset

Yes, have them reset so I don't have to wait between pulls for them

No opinion

How do you feel about World Bosses?

World bosses are annoying and incentivize players no-lifing so they can scout a spawn - these should be removed or changed

I don't really mind, I never felt like I was missing much

World bosses and the competition to get them are a fun part of what makes Classic great, and I'd be dissapointed to see them change

How would you want World Bosses to look in Classic+?

World bosses should be more accessible to everyone, so making them all instanced like they were in SoD is a good change

I like world bosses but feel like the instanced version didn't really capture the magic of them - maybe some type of hybrid where they can spawn in the world AND inside the instance could work

World bosses should never be instanced, it makes them super lame and not fun - the race to tag it and defend the tag is the best part and removing that by making them instanced ruins it

I don't really care

How do you feel about limited time events like the AQ Gate event spawning content in the world within a set, limited, time frame?

These events are cool but they create FOMO, I don't want to have to schedule my life around this game, so remove them

I like these events and the narratives they create, but they should last longer than 10 hours or even a couple days so I have time to engage with them

I love these events and want to see more of them, they're epic! "I was here!"

How do you feel about quests that require you to enter multiple raids? (eg Thunderfury requiring MC+BWL, Atiesh requiring AQ+Naxx, etc)

These quests seem cool but in reality they're just annoying, simplify it so I don't have to drag my friends to other content to get my reward

I like these but maybe once the content has passed the current meta, create some sort of catch-up so I don't have to run it and can still get my item

Don't you dare change these, it's so cool running around the world to complete these epic quests!

I don't care

How do you feel about bosses cycling week to week or mechanics changing over time? (Eg Beatrix in Scarlet Enclave, Chromaggus breaths, etc.)

I shouldn't have to re learn a fight on week 4 after having killed it, keep the bosses the same every week

Some variety is fun, but changing it drastically is a step too far

I love these types of fights because they're always different - more of them please!

How long should raid gear remain relevant, on average?

Only for the current raid, replace most/all gear in the following raid tier

Current gear should be comparable to or slightly worse than next tier's items

Current gear should be relevant for 2+ tiers

I'm not sure, this is a hard question that will require some solution but I don't see a clear answer

Should the phase schedule in Classic+ reorder the raid release schedule of original Vanilla?

Yes, give me a new phase schedule to experience

No, Classic+ should just add more after Naxx

No opinion

Should Classic+ allow GDKPs?

No, GDKPs incentivize real money trading and botting - removing it is good for the game

Yes, I like GDKPs and want them in Classic+

If there are no GDKPs in Classic+ I won't play it

No opinion
