Blizzard’s latest announcement of the Season of Discovery, a spinoff of World of Warcraft Classic content, has sparked mixed reactions among players. Asmongold, the popular WoW streamer, shared his thoughts on the matter, expressing his support for Blizzard’s experimentation while acknowledging the concerns raised by players.
Prior to the BlizzCon opening ceremony, Asmon had expressed his anticipation for what many players have dubbed “Classic+.” This refers to the desire for Blizzard to make tweaks to the Classic content, injecting new elements into the game that has been around for almost two decades.
Although the Season of Discovery can be seen as a form of “Classic+,” some players have voiced their dissatisfaction with the changes promised by Blizzard. However, Asmongold took a different stance, stating that he is not upset with Blizzard and actually supports their willingness to try something new.
While acknowledging that the changes in the Season of Discovery may be too significant for some players’ liking, Asmon believes it is important for Blizzard to experiment and see what works. He expressed his support for the idea of introducing changes to the game, even though he may not fully agree with the specific changes proposed.
Responding to a viewer’s comment, Asmon emphasized that Blizzard’s bold approach to experimentation is a significant step forward for the future of WoW’s legacy content. The Season of Discovery is just one example of the growing number of legacy WoW content offerings by Blizzard.
Blizzard has been expanding its legacy content offerings, such as moving Classic servers into The Burning Crusade (TBC) and Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK). They have also introduced niche content like the Season of Mastery, which features vanilla WoW servers played on a repeated loop. The recent addition of Hardcore servers has further enhanced community interaction and led to entertaining online clips.
Overall, Asmongold supports Blizzard’s decision to explore new possibilities for WoW Classic, even if the Season of Discovery may not align perfectly with his own expectations. He believes that trying out various changes is essential to see what resonates with the player base and keeps the game fresh.
