Blizzard plans slower class changes for World of Warcraft Forever after Season of Discovery lessons
Blizzard Entertainment announced that World of Warcraft: Forever will implement class changes more cautiously following experiences from Classic: Season of Discovery.
Lessons from previous seasonal release
The development team stated they learned valuable lessons about managing the in-game economy and real-money trading during the earlier season. They admitted that their initial approach with class changes went too far in that specific release. Blizzard confirmed these insights will directly influence how they handle updates in the upcoming Forever project.
Future approach to class updates
Studio representatives said future modifications will be significantly slower and more careful than previous attempts. The company intends to avoid overindulging in experimentation while still preserving the classic experience for players. This measured strategy aims to prevent the issues that arose during the earlier seasonal rollout.
Commitment to classic progression systems
Blizzard confirmed it does not plan to modernize the core classes in the new release. The team wants to ensure the game maintains its original feel while incorporating necessary adjustments. They will continue to explore new abilities without pushing every class to its absolute limit.
