Barracks+ Full Loot, no item-binding, world pvp with playerbots
Hey everyone — we’re building Barracks+, a Classic+ PvE server in the 3.3.5 (Wrath) client, and we're opening it up to Beta testing! This is a sister-server to our PvP-only, Instant 60 server, Legionnaire+.
Patch 0.16:
- items no longer have ANY bindings. everything is tradeable/sellable
- playerbots now roam the world! if you are in a pvp zone, they will be hostile to you. they will sell things on the AH and buy gear improvements on the AH
- all items are dropped on death in a chest
- killing playerbots your level gives you 2 bubbles of exp
- you can turn on warmode at the capital inns, which operates like it does in retail; doubling your xp and gold gain but opening you up for pvp with other flagged individuals
We'll make a quick distinction here, this isn't a normal TrinityCore wrath server with a level cap of 60; this is all level 1.12 quests/spells/mechanics up-ported into the 3.3.5 client.
Meaning Hunters have to Feign Death to trap, Rank 1 Frost Bolt is very fast, mounts are 3 second cast time, CCs are long in PvP with heartbeat resist, no hit/crit rating, etc. etc.
Take a look at our talent calculator here
Take a look at some of our class changes here:
No pay to win. No pay to play. No pay to anything. We don't have a paypal or cashapp or venmo and are doing this as a passion project, not a financial project.
So I'm a solo dev with one goal: make the ultimate Classic PvP experience. If you loved Classic BGs, or are curious as to what classes would exceed in a Classic arena, we'd love to have you!
We ported the 1.12 content and mechanics into the WoTLK engine as a baseline and then added
- full collision
- rebalanced talents
- rebalanced racials
- rebalanced gear
- new spells
- factionless gameplay, with flightmaster/quest support (horde can get quests in stormwind, etc)
- arena replays
- custom lobby support for arenas/bgs with modified rulesets
- opt-in transmog support (you can turn it off and not see anyone's transmog)
- opt-in hardcore and other challenge modes
- 76 new item sets that each make you think about the game differently, and more!
- Playerbots now roam the world! if you are in a pvp zone, they will be hostile to you. they will sell things on the AH and buy gear improvements on the AH
- account banks where you can store BoA and unbound items to switch to other characters.
Because we worked our way backwards from the WoTLK engine, that means we have features from that era too, including
- Dual spec
- 3.3.5 client features (cast bars on targets, cleaner client-side prediction, etc)
- 15 different arenas
- 8 different BGs, with 4 custom made ones where you can fight playerbots including a roguelike wave defense one
