Guild horse armor skins might work also....

If I was Blizzard, I would not progress classic (after Naxx) following standard time line, and standard expansions. Instead I would progress doing things completely different: max level would always remain 60 forever there would be no nerfing of any content or speeding up exp in any way (every single new coming player would have to go through everything, any player before had to, and spend the same amount of time to do it) I would introduce new lands (that came with expansions) slowly, but would be rebalancing all that for level 60, as post naxx content (so for example TBC lands, would be very hard, and require players to have AQ40 minimum, and Naxx recommended gear. There would be no jumping to new lands as soon as you level up.) When new post-TBC lands open they would also be balanced for level 60, but for a gear from TBC raids. level 60 PvP would be separated in brackets (same like pre 60 PvP is) depending on what point of progression in PvE player has reached (it would get tracked through some achievements, raid clearing and quest line completition, and NOT by gear you are currently wearing), so players who are currently in point X of content, would fight against players who are in same part of progression each bracket of level 60 PvP would grant you different tokens, that would allow you to purchase PvP gear that fits that content level PvP ranking would never get removed. Gear would be purchesable through effort (tokens gained) and would not be restricted by rank, but RANKING would always remain to separate players who show skill and effort, so they can show off their titles and rank based cosmetic rewards (special mounts etc). Yes, in time that would create a HUGE gap between new coming players and veterans. But this is as it should be, because each player should have to (it's not a minus, its a PLUS) pass all the months / years of game play at appropriate content level to eventually reach current endgame. Time gap could be shortened anyway by having veteran friends boosting you a bit, if you chose that.

Classic WoW times never comes back

Ethereal - a ghost/banshee type race. This character is "Perma Death", as well as FFA PvP. Anyone familiar with Diablo or Path of Exile knows how much drama and heart ache can be created by allowing this type of character to exist. It's racial abilities can be focused on defensive utility, things like Vanish, smoke bomb, escape artist, phase shift, etc. An ethereal could be a very hard character to lock down, which would make killing one that much more rewarding. Also gives Fractured some new territory, because correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any mmo has ever had a ghost race? Dark Age of Camelot had banshees but they were sort of undead elves?

@dulu said in Evolution of "The Kill" in MMO PvP: @jetah #1 That Rogue isn't naked. He's using a technique called "Reskinning", which has been around forever. Making a character model on your end LOOK different. Enemies still see him in his gear, but on his screen he can look however he wants. You can look at his hotbar, and still see he has his gear on, and his buff bar to see he has trinkets and other procs from weapons. #2 None of the victims in these awful videos are stunlocked. They are just simply very bad. Take note of the mage who is inflicted with two bleed effects, garrotte and rupture (lol?), and he apparently tries to chase the rogue in near melee range, as he bleeds to death. He doesn't ice-block, he doesn't run away... he just panics and runs like a chicken with his head cut off and bleeds to death. This is a perfect example of why these "Casual" videos can't be used to demonstrate anything balance related. Your average player is complete gutter trash at PvP. #3 Every class in WoW has a counter to stun. Or at least a survival cooldown. Classic Rogues were opportunistic predators. Crying about stunlock in 2018 is pathetic, and shows an unwillingness to learn how to PvP. #4 Those videos piss me off for the single fact there isn't one Druid in Ironforge? Not a single level 44+ who can instant cast Fairy Fire on the Rogue? (Un-resistable by the way) He'd die to guards from a single instant cast. Trash Alliance. But no, it's much easier to cry. video 2 is naked. actually they do have a tabard on.

I agree whole heartedly that collision-detection is essential for making PvP , particularly as a tank, enjoyable. And yes, I agree that the meta always needs to favor DPS over tanks and healers. I say this as a main tank or healer for a decade now.

Now that we know shields will be passive additional armour, what will 2h weapons get to compensate as both will have same dps (armour reduces procentually rather than flat) ? I´d like some kind of more passive bonus damage increase from strenght
