SoulFire nerf felt classic, still does. Epic level equip requirement felt classic, still does. The spirit of classic and the original vision are open to interpretation but it isn't as if McQuaid and company didn't comment on some of this stuff. Lay Hands was specifically kept from being a true complete heal long before the game went from paper to computer screen. The devs didn't want a queue of paladins LHing the main assist, dying, and LHing again. All/All SoulFire was worse. It's a game, an interactive piece of art, not a specimen in formaldehyde. We have custom UIs, GINA, Better Pixels, Wiki guides. Even the original composer, Jay Barbeau, is going back through his songs and breathing new life into them. Does he lose credibility because of the technical limitations back then that hemmed in his creative choices?
