The Future of World Buffs in Classic Era
#1 - March 31, 2021, 1:04 a.m.
Hey everybody!
We understand that there’s a lot of excitement for Burning Crusade Classic, but we haven’t forgotten about the Classic Era servers. One of the defining features of raiding in Classic has certainly been the prevalence of earth buff stacking, and while there are some interesting social effects – coordinating turn-ins, leveling alts, world PvP at buff locations, there’s also an obvious negative element – once you’re buffed, you’re incentivized to log off and stop playing to preserve your buffs. If you yearn to log off to travel make dinner or put your kids to bed, that’s completely fine and the timing works in your favor. But if you still want to patch your gear, shop for consumables, or run a dungeon with your friends, then it’s not great to be losing precious minutes on your buffs, or worse, risk dying and losing them entirely. We’ve been wanting to do something about that side-effect, without completely abandoning our philosophy for WoW Classic, so we’re going to try something new in Patch 1.13.7: The Chronoboon Displacer.
What is it?
The Chronoboon Displacer is an item you buy which takes a

World buffs are killing the game and joy. What is the point of walking around the map and trying to collect 4x - 5x planet buffs ? Yes, you can claim if you don’t desire you don’t have to amass but you are definetly incorrect. Most of the raid leaders that i encountered demands society buffs to accept you in their groups. As a solo player, getting all world buffs is almost an impossible career. Geting all buffs can be only done with dedicated raid members who are raiding all instances each week.
Why i am forced by blizzard to tour STV, and wait there for hours in the hope of someone returns Hearth of hakkar ? After that, i demand to go back to stormwind and i should wait for someone to return Head ? How this thing helping solo players ?
The problem, raid leaders on classic have no notion about this game. They are untalanted old people and playing classic wow because they cannot Mythic / Heroic raid in retail. They think everyone in their raid group as untalented as they are and so they force people to obtain world buffs for smooth runs. What is the point of raiding if world buffs putting more than player’s current gear ? What is the p
World Buffs and ease of access
Said it at least a half-dozen times.
Make WBs a craftable item you learn the recipes by ‘doing the activity’ (ie you do Tribute Race to get the DMT buff recipes).
Elixir of the Songflower [Felwood] {Alchemy}
Sigil of Zandalar [ZG] {Enchanting}
Sigil of the Dragonslayer [Ony/Nef] {Enchanting}
Sigil of the King/Warchief [Rend] {Enchanting}
Sigil of Sayge [DMF] {Enchanting}
Sigil of Moxie [DMT] {Enchanting}
Sigil of Ferocity [DMT] {Enchanting}
Sigil of Savviness [DMT] {Enchanting}
All are non-Boonable and stack in lots of 20 (20; because I’m not a jerk). However, the requirements would be lvl 60 and 300/300 in the profession.
No distinct materials needed, no special crafting stations. Just do the exercise and get the recipe and never need to do it [the activity] again. Plus, you make a fair bit of coin from others who don’t want to spend time doing the activity.
Note: There was a suggestion to include Blacksmithing (probably something like an Arcstone*) and Leatherworking (Drums). I’m cool with other professions getting in on the “craftable buffs” market.
*Arcstone, a new item type for Blacksmiths to craft; much like Grinding Stones. S

For the LOVE OF GOD make them stackable please Blizzard. Takes longer gettting the items than doing a buff run… Would be nice to have them at least 5 stack and max allowed 5…
Also dont gatekeep the thorium one behind a dungeon… No one wants to clear a brd just for a buff.

It takes really a lot longer getting the items than a buff run to get all the buffs. Completely idiotic

But they are usable to all party/raid, so only 1 raid member should get them, right? So it’s anyway more effective then standart buffs that should be picked up individually by each member.

Who said i wasnt happy… Its a new item / process in the game. I was simply offering a suggestion, frustration with the changes. If people dont speak up nothing gets improved.

World buff consumables do not stack, do not go in keyring, are single use, are unboonable, replace buffs of the same type for the entire party/raid, and ARE REMOVED when the person who cast them leaves the group.
Just AHAHAHA, Aggr

Give us something other than regurgitated trash.
There is no achievement in time sinking hours to level to clear a raid in 40mins.

SoD was unfriendly to players that missed a phase, creating unachievable FOMO tendencies.
Terrible design, too adv to deliver the solution to their abysmal systems.
it’s better they implement features that already live than try to reinvent their square wheel.
MC should’ve been the level 20 raid with the raid size to be scalable with a minimum of 10 players.
