When WoW Classic progresses into Mists of Pandaria Classic next month, not everything from the original expansion will make the transition. Blizzard revealed this week that it has decided not to bring the raid finder into this version.
“In progression Classic, however, we’ve seen far, far more players participating in Normal raiding, and there is every reason to expect that to continue into Mists Classic,” the WoW Classic devs said. “Considering all points of view and weighing our options very carefully, we made the decision to develop MoP Classic without the raid finder system.”
As Blizzard taketh, so it giveth — and this time in the form of a new dungeon difficulty mode called “Celestial.” This is meant to be more challenging than heroics, “infused with occasional raid-level mechanics and enemies, including appearances from bosses of the current raid tier.” To aid players in tackling this content, the devs are adding special blessing buffs, saying that this content will pay out in better rewards.
