You're retarded. You're comparing seeing normal amounts of players (like it was in vanilla) to literally having thousands of players on screen at the same time all fighting to turn in 1 quest making the whole experience dog shite for everyone involved. Vanilla launch wasn't thousands of players in the starting zone lining up for quests which is what you are claiming and it's pretty funny since it's coming from a purist nigger. Even with all that taken into account, it will only be for the first few launch weeks until the players become more or less evenly spread between levels to avoid over saturating a zone with new players halting the whole leveling system and causing server instability. You can stop crying now over things that literally do not matter in the bigger picture.

human lock here, fuck gnomes and fuck minmaxing

as long as they keep their word and has it turned on when literally the only reason why not to is because the servers would crash or the game would be unplayable. It should be fine

but its 2019 blizzard we're talking about here so who knows how its gonna be

>fuck minmaxing
Why did I read this as fuck racemixing?

if you're so concerned about phasing, don't start playing until it has inevitably died down a bit a few weeks after it launches.

Fuck them both

I see you didn't play Vanilla at launch.

Enjoy not being able to fear 50% of the horde

Humans and gnomes fucking would make the perfect human hybrids though.

I'm gonna be a priest, I wanna heal, I always regretted being too scared to do it in Vanilla and missing my chance but now my time is here

But i dunno what race or faction, if Horde i'd go undead over troll, but all 3 are ok for alliance, slight leaning to human? I was horde way back in the day all through vanilla and can't decide if that means I should stick with it or try the other side finally

Will there be an RP server

Hopefully no. It would be okay if actual RP was done, but we all know that is not what RP servers are used for.

Human has spirit bonus, dwarf has amazing instant heal I think

If you care about minmaxing then go dwarf for ally and undead for horde

yaaaay mommy blizzy take mah monies lol xD even tho I can play it for free xDDD

WoW is not "home", "home" by this definition is "my life in the mid-2000s". There's no way to actually go back to that era of the internet.

Nigger, what? The only people I've seen shill private servers over classic are the idiots that depend on the shady economy behind said servers. I'm glad Classic will put you all out of business, you've been a burden and cancer on the WoW community for far too long.

This is WOW, not EQ, WOW was made by a bunch of people who hated what SOE did with EQ (despite ironicly making all the same mistakes)

Why they would adopt the EQ progression server model which does not work, over the OSRS model, which does work, is stupid as fuck.

I cringe so hard when i think about how all of you retards haven't learned at all and you're legitimately looking forward to wasting another couple of years on your life inside your game when most of you are probably in THEIR LATE 20'S OR 30'S.

I found my girlfriend playing WoW and made friends for life in that game. Finished school, got a job etc. all while playing WoW. Your post is cringe.

Restart and develop a seperate branch of the game keeping the old school/classic gameplay but developing new content.

I.E. new content without badge gear, heroic modes, arenas, aka all the shit that led to WOW becoming the massive fucking chore it is today.

nice projection faggot

Dwarf has fear ward, for pve and pvp they're leagues above the other 2.

Night elf racials, both priest and regular are absolute dog shit, so unless you want to meme in shadowmeld don't pick them.

I can't wait until Classic comes out so all the people that never played it have to come to terms with the realization that WoW is dead after they try it and hate it. Blizzard knew the current market wouldn't like old WoW which is why they denied it for so long, but they're desperate now.
Just remember after it comes out: You asked for this.

Dwarf Priests are good but if your guild already has a heap of them then Human is your best option for the spirit bonus.

A lot of people do want original WoW - but a great many more will get bored of it and stop playing quickly.

Uh, yes, that's what I said. Good job user, I'm so proud of your ability to read!!

Why do these posts constantly appear?
We've had private servers for fucking years, hell we still have them.
People love vanilla, for all its faults, its just now we are getting official servers with proper stability and no random shutdowns like what happened with nostalrius.
That is the reason there is hype, because finally a stable version of vanilla is coming, and many people do love vanilla.

This but unironically

At least Blizzard employs anti-cheat methods and doesn't cooperate with gold sellers to spam you and bombard you with gold selling advertisements, doesn't serve as a money laundering scheme, doesn't give preferential treatment to people and can keep a server stable, has great customer support, keeps populations separate instead of having Zhang, Dmitri and Joao who only speak their native languages shitting up your group. It's basically better in every aspect and you're just making yourself look like an idiot desperately clinging onto your failing business that is getting BTFO by Blizzard.

Hunter

Mage

Watch them release this on a per-zone "service" / DLC basis not a full game lol. $5 for this $5 for that.

I still play modern WoW. Its actually alright when you dont care about raiding.

>At least Blizzard employs anti-cheat methods
LOL, you can easily use a bot on retail. Fucking Warmane of all places detects and bans botters all the time.

>Zhang, Dmitri and Joao who only speak their native languages shitting up your group
This isn't dota or lol. Even Dmitri tries to speak english and do something in WoW.

Is that way why WoW's player numbers have been declining since 4.1, and has massive declines with WoD and BFA?

>Yeah, having a netflix subscription surely puts a big dent on my budget.
Why would I pay for something that's readily available for free and using it has 0 realistic consequences

You can keep getting fucked by Blizzard tho.

If Blizzard does this, the internet will break. Remember when real ID was announced? The story ended up on normie media within two days and even out of touch boomers knew what was.

Watch the Blizzcon and listen to the guy who's in charge of engineering. He knows what's up. Even retards like Ion Holocaustas know if they fuck classic up, they're done. No amount of lawyertalk or PR limbo can save your ass from that dumpsterfire.

So someone who regrets having been a drug addict in the past is a brainlet too?

>comparing MMOs to actual drugs
Imagine being so pathetic that you get addicted to fucking video games.

No, i'm simply saying that just because you enjoyed something in the past doesn't make it unquestionably good.

>On v

You know what they say about throwing stones and glass houses, right?

>want to see thousands of players doing the same quests killing the same mobs and making the game unplayable

There are still going to be shitloads of people, they're not making the entire game instanced for you and you alone.

So it wasn't you who said

>dots you and then runs away

in all seriousness i know WotF is gonna be a pain but i think the class will be more fun than a mage

>tfw im all burned out on wow from private servers

>tfw 90% of people keybind their abilities so i wont be a top percentile player anymore for doing so myself.

eh, idk.

>LOL, you can easily use a bot on retail.
It's one thing to cheat in a videogame, its a completely different thing if the owners endorse it and allow it to happen freely and even support it because it bolsters their income at the expense of the economy and the players.

>It's not like the block option exists.
Mega-brainlet spotted. It's not one gold seller, retard. Good luck blocking the hundreds of messages per hour from different accounts, ignoring the flying teleporting chinamen spelling out their gold-selling website name with their corpses because no private server has real anti-cheat and the constant actual mail cluttering your inbox from the spammers.

>Even Dmitri tries to speak english and do something in WoW.
Sure thing, that must be why the private server forums are always full of complaints about russians and chinese not communicating with other players and abusing the game, right?

Yeah, I will definitely enjoy getting fucked by Blizzard by getting stable servers, 100% less hackers and spammers, 100% of players who speak my own language, readily available customer support, actual development and support, an active and large playerbase, and having a 10$ 3rd world firewall that will keep seething ruskies such as you out of my game.

Enjoy your dead server I guess.

WASH YER BECK

Classic bros I have never played Classic, I am having a hard time choosing between Night Elf Hunter and Night Elf Rogue, with most likely having a Horde Shaman alt.

How is hunter in PVP? I like the fantasy of having a ranged and melee weapon and the fun of collecting pets

I just wanna roleplay a sentinel who wants to fucking behead as many horde scum as possible for them intruding on our land.

Good hunters are probably the best class for wpvp but they kind of suck until they're geared, unlike rogues and mages.

Hunter with engineering has to be the most cheese shit ever as far as pvp is concerned.

Playing WOW in 2019
Yikes!

>hunter in PVP
It's great. You'll have a great time shitting on retards while leveling up by spamming concussion shot and bullying them with your pet. Make sure you get some good macros and you'll be set. I don't know how they are once they are 60 since I never hit 60 on my hunter but it was fun while leveling. I took a day off once from leveling and headed to stonetalon and spend a whole day just slaughtering horde with my thunder serpent pet at that little night elf sanctuary in the north.

>tfw roleplaying would actually be kind of fun in WoW but RP servers are always ruined by people just ERPing wherever they can instead of doing cool events and having roleplay guilds

lots of people used the keyboard to turn their character.

look at the "world of warcraft" pvp video where he kills hunters who have their pets on aggressive, hunter traps him then pet breaks trap, then hunter scatter shots him then pet immediately breaks trap, hunter dies, wow rogues op!

Reminds me of Monkeynews, in wpvp he taunts hunter pets or random mobs to break traps or other CC. He's pertty good.

Still gets shitcanned by mages because why not though. Warriors really needed a reflect or something because aside charge and one intercept, you were doomed if you didn't kill your enemy yet. Your best bet when intercept is down is literally thrown on a shield and run in the opposite direction.

They're a cool class but you have to play above 90% of huntards if you want to be taken seriously due to your low dps.

No you're not and you know it

You asked for the easiest time to find a group. Mages provide food, cc, portals and damage. There is a reason why they sit as second / third most played class.

why is that skeltal so huge

Shaman probably. Tremor Totem for raids and the other totems are really good for dungeons. Poison Cleansing Totem is a godsend in Maraudon, especially for the maggot room.

When ragnaros rose up from the lava (the water pool in the image) he was slain by heroes and the fire went out and turned into water so his bones calcified and soaked up the water and became larger, his real skeleton wasn't that large, it's the result of the bones soaking up the water for millenia. Cool piece of lore desu.

>Ragnaros
>Skeleton has an Eredar collar around it

Nope, that is the accumulation of night elf glaive throwers ammunition from the battle of hyjal when the night elf forces attacked ragnaros together with the heroes.

Dreams do come true.

Mage is the best ranged dps and free food and water.
Lock comes second with summons and soulstones but it's a ton of hassle to grind soul shard and you will be mage's bitch to put on curse of elements and don't you dare put your own DoTs on boss, those 16 debuff slots are precious

what the fuck are you even talking about

why would a fire elemental leave a humanoid skeleton behind

Any viable healer class

Mage by far, you make food and water, have a nice buff, you're ranged so you won't aggro extra packs like the retarded rogues trying to reposition for backstabs, and your CC is the most useful/reliable. You're still DPS though, can't expect instant invites like tanks or healers.

It's similar to how obsidian is formed when lava and water meet in Minecraft. The fire elemental didn't have bones when he was a lava elemental but when he died he lost all of his powers and the lava turned to water and in the process his remains got calcified and turned to bone. It's actually quite interesting.

Yeah, that's the name of the -remains-. That's what the night elves called it (the tree its resting on is the ancient high elf tree of regeneration from which the draenei tracked azeroth), since they didn't want to say the word Ragnaros. It's Ragnaros's Archimonde skeleton if you want to be accurate.

All DPS rotations are pretty boring and you will have a hard time finding group no matter what.
If you wanna have instant invites all day every day play warrior tank or healer (most preferably priest)

Alliance warlock by far, if you don't mind losing 1v1s in world pvp. Wotf isn't that big a deal in group pvp though.

>They suck at solo pvp
Is this bait? You don't need to be healer spec until you actually step into a raid. You can heal any 5man as shadow which is a top-tier 1v1 spec.

Im not that guy i meant warrior. Yes shadow priest is overpowered even with blue gear

On current big Pserver it is by far the hardest to find a spot as a healer.

As a tank you can reserve any drop and even ask for gold payments for dungeon runs because there are so absurdly rare.

classicdb.ch/?item=13285

if you want authentic vanilla launch experience just unplug your internet

Only go tank or healer if you are an asshole.
People with pleasant personalities go dps route.

What the hell? What kind of server has more healers than dps?
I always rolled healer because that's the sweet spot for landing a guild. DPS's don't matter and are replaceable, and guild only needs few tanks so hard to get started.

im leveling a warrior on northdale atm. lvl 38. it was a pain early mid 20s but it gets a lot better with talents. also WW axe.

If he’s playing paladin, retarded but happy frog works best. Preferably alongside a fellow frog telling the world it feels good, man.

Good luck trying to kill a single boar all by yourself.

No, seriously, good fucking luck. And don't even think that you will reach max level in less than 24h.

Do they even have boars in Elwynn and Teldrassil?

>DPS's don't matter and are replaceable
You start to lose this idea as you get to higher levels of play. The difference between a good dps and a great dps will come up as early as your preraid dungeons

>What the hell? What kind of server has more healers than dps?
Its pretty common for 5mans, not raids though.

Well you are right, but there's always some other good dps to replace cause people for some reason are crazy about it.
Personally I never got the appeal of PVE DPS, you just do your ratation as well as you can over and over again, some numbers pop up and few minutes later you brag about meters. Healing whack a mole and tanking when threat mattered are much more interesting to me

I didn't say everyone regrets playing WoW

Find 5 great anything for raiding. I will guarantee you the vast majority of dps mains will be doing their 1-3 button rotation and nothing else, no cc no dispels no kicks.

Most every class could be automated in Vanilla if you knew the lua. The only thing that couldn’t barring compete access to automate movement was not standing in the fire/where you weren’t supposed to.

Healing was the only job I performed where, outside important raid bosses, I actually wanted something to go wrong, just so I had something interesting to do.

Any costs from pet food and ammo are negated by the fact that Hunters can make mad money by soloing Inner Mara, DM, etc.

The DPS thing is not as bad in the early raid tiers but it does get worse as you get into end game. However by then warriors and rogues will dominate the meters anyways. If you care about big numbers, don't roll Hunter. Also don't forget that they bring utility with traps, kiting, tranq shot, etc.

I'm so excited for this but I just worry that having poor vanilla experience (good knowledge from guides , levelling on private servers etc but no experience of endgame) and no people to play with means I'll end up having no fun

I was thinking of ally warlock too, but I looked up the racial stats on nost and horde was 47% undead. I know it's not that big a deal in bgs but 1v1s in wpvp are some of my favorite fights.

I doubt sitting outside deadmines shouting LFG forever as a dps will be fun. I could roll warrior sure, but then late game I'm not tanking shit since 'lol GM or his friend are MT' and I'm just the 19th dps warrior so no gear

I'd play on a private server if there actually were any normal servers. I have zero interest in being ganked by roaming gangs of unemployed incels who waste their lives away camping lowbies in Redridge in a sad attempt to be the next Angwe.

no wonder mmos died

They could mess it up in two ways. They'll either poke too many little holes in it, making the game too easy, and end game guilds too casual and shitty. That's one way. The other way is committing a complete sin, something retarded like leaving death knights in, or putting a $30 epic raid gear set in the online shop. Both are probable.

You do realize normal servers are, you know, normal servers, and PvP servers, like RP servers, are an optional meme ruleset server type, right?

Bro that shit happened in retail too. Let me guess, nost was your first time playing vanilla?

is it gonna have the original graphics or the warlords facelift ones?

>or putting a $30 epic raid gear set in the online shop.
I agree that the death knights may eventually come but blizzard has literally never sold gear before why would they start now

Imagine playing a game about a war between 2 factions where LITERALLY the entire point of the game is to fight the other faction but then decide to be a pussy

no wonder mmos died, lmfao

Because they're complete assholes now

>blizzard has literally never sold gear before why would they start now
I can buy wow tokens and then go pay a guild to get BIS gear. It's the same shit.

In retail vanilla you had the option of playing on nornal servers. And yes, ganking was a thing back in vanilla on PvP servers too (was dumb enough to level on one as a teen), but you didn't have nearly as many incels who tried to become e-famous by emulating other meme celebrities like Angwe. Angwe was famous because of how rare someone like him was at the time. Now on pservers you have a billion losers who all want e-fame by emulating the shit he did in various zones.

PvP servers are the ultimate cuckoldry. You are unironically offering yourself up to literally anyone who walks by, all for the purpose of killing people who have no hope against you. pvp on pve servers is the only satisfying experience, Think about it logically.

You don't roll on a pvp server just so you can gank people. 1v1s are really fun and you end up doing a lot of small scale 3v3s/ect.

original character models (with improved resolutions most likely) along with old casting/attack animations

And then you get wrecked by the three friends he had waiting round the corner, and corpse camped until you manage to slink away.
Think about it logically; turning on Pvp to 1v1 someone, and having the satisfaction of knowing he’s too much of a bitch to have a fair fight if he doesn’t reciprocate, is far more satisfying.

All you need is +healing, maybe crit, int and mp5 gear, really. Spec should be holy yeah sure for raiding, but outside of raids, dungeons, etc. you can just use gear.

You will go out of mana fast as fuck without the "mana cost refund on crit heals" talents though but you will manage just fine.

yeah. You go holy/prot hybrid and it really starts to kick off when you get spellpower plate in AQ. You enchant your weapon with lifestealing (or some other spell dmg on hit) and get a weapon that has a spell effect proc and put frost oil on your weapon and use righteous seal. So your seal, weapon proc, weapon enchant, and weapon buff all scale with your spell power and it can do crazy damage. The big two handed weapon from AQ that has a spell effect on hit can crit for like a thousand shadow damage when it procs and heals you for similar amount. then your reckoning can give you up to like 5 extra attacks if you get crit a lot in pvp. It's pretty dumb. on top of all that the spell power also helps with your healing ofc.

They should go the extra mile and set up servers for every expansion. There are plenty of private servers that host realms for multiple points in WoW's history, Blizzard should be no different.

I am by no means saying I enjoyed every expansion, but there should be the option, and I'd imagine the more recent you get the more easily obtained a backup of the final patch is.

More quests in the 40-60 zones. Alternatively more side content outside of raiding. What I don't want are huge catchup mechanics like Argus or raids past Naxx. The Classic team probably doesn't even have enough people for entirely new raids or zones anyway and I don't really trust new Blizzard to create large amounts of content.

I'm on the fence with what I should play. I started on the BC launch so never did vanilla. Should I go undead rogue, undead priest(healing) or troll shaman(enhance)?

I just wanna level without wanting to kill myself and still get raid/instance spots.

>jungle
it wasnt a jungle it was like a swamp with fuckhuge tall trees and tar pits.

You're gonna wanna kill yourself while leveling anyway

If youre willing to heal but you want an endgame of pvp go shaman. Something like 60% of your server will be rogues or classes directly competing with rogues for pve spots and gear. If you want to just healbot pve all your life do priest. Shadowpriest is fun on the bun but changing talents every couple days gets expensive fast

Swamps are peak comfy

Rogues aren't actually good at levelling unless I fucked up and should've gone for green mobs only like Warriors do. Early DW is hell because of the miss chance and you keep taking damage from physical attacks because your dodge rating is nothing spectacular and neither is your armour class.

On the upside pick pocketing nets you a significant amount of money and goods, to the point where you can do BRD pickpocket runs for money. Obviously the biggest draw is being able to stealth as it opens a breathtaking amount of options in both PvP and PvE, particularly if you want to immerse yourself in the world and explore or become the thing people scare noobs with with your ganking/stalking runs. Best PvE class for Rogues is human due to spec but WotF is a classic and Forsaken have amazing animations.

Never levelled a priest but I heard it's not too bad. Overall, Shaman seems to be the best choice because you can raid as a desired healer, do well throughout your levelling journey (Ghost Wolf is an amazing boon). It is however not as strong in the DPS department, although Ele Shamans blow people up more than Enh does, while being able to throw decent heals and be tough with mail/shield.

I hope so. Sense of community was always much better on RP servers years ago, back when you could actually spend time in Goldshire without a horde of ERP alts hanging around 24/7.

Mount Hyjal filled out with new quests. It even has a raidportal they could use for a new raid.

Goldshire got its rep very early, regardless, and I doubt itll be any different now.

It was still very different. Back in vanilla/TBC RP servers used to be pure and pristine right up until they got old enough for server transfers to open up, then it'd start going downhill.

The most fun I had on an RP server was unironically MoP launch when all the Pandas were still ignorant tourists to the factions.

Night Elf zones are all extremely comfy. Even Ashenvale, when the pvp dies down.

>literally having thousands of players on screen at the same time all fighting to turn in 1 quest
Dude, it's an MMO launch. It's an event that you almost never get to experience, something to remember and having lots of fun being lost in the chaos.
You sound like the kind of person who complained about MUH NPCs during the pre-WotLK zombie event, whining because you can't do the thing that you are able to do the remaining 50 weeks of the year instead of enjoying a once in a lifetime, ridiculous scale event.

dont level priest it's literally the worst leveling class, all you'll do is wand mobs to death while contemplating your own
Shaman can easily heal dungeons even in enhanc spec and you'll be stomping everything in your path
Rogue is very fun to play, especially on pvp servers, and DPS never have any trouble finding groups in WoW anyway
so basically just don't pick priest if you want to have fun

I wouldn't recommend playing TBC at all.

Search wow classic OST and pick the race corresponding to the first one you hear and get truly nostalgic over.

Undead plague was truly the beginning of the end. It showed the community could still have fun, what with ingenious methods to fuck with people and kill off major NPCs that were supposed to be immune. It also showed just how much of the community was filled with absolute fucking faggots that couldn’t figure out the way to dodge most of the effects was to go out and play the goddamn game, rather than squatting in a city with a thumb up your ass.

Help me decide between Horde and Alliance Yea Forums, which is more fun?

>which is more fun?
Whichever your friends choose

How do you pvp on a pve server? Never played wow

It really depends on the bad type of player you can deal with.
Horde was filled with the edgy kids and tryhards, while alliance was filled with the literal kids and casuals.

I personally found the alliance easier to deal with, since the worst of their lot got filtered out by the time you hit end game.

Two ways; world PvP or Battlegrounds.
In the normal map you have PVP flagged on and off. You can manually turn it on and off via command if you want, if you’re looking for a duel or looking for trouble. You get it forcibly turned on by attacking an enemy flagged with PVP (Be it a guard or player) likewise it will for entering enemy territory, and it will stay on for five minutes after you leave, stop attacking, or turn it off.
Battlegrounds are specific instances where everyone’s permanently flagged and achieve specific objectives.

World PvP on a pve server is usually either organised raids, people meeting and deciding to have a scrap, or some poor bastard forgetting to turn it off and getting wrecked.

>since the worst of their lot got filtered out by the time you hit end game
Yep, entire Alliance

Pre Cata, certainly, and I can accept some might be curious, but there's a good reason it got called the casualclysm.

how else are you going to fill the group? casters don't get jack shit from the emp.

I have to admit I'm pretty jealous of them, it's basically like an entirely new and better world for them to quest in. A lot of zones are completely unrecognisable and 95% of the quests are different. I'm happy they get to experience it as long as they don't try and get Blizzard to change shit about it.

>I don't like this genre, should I play a game in this genre

well, just thinking about "wow ost" makes me hear The Barrens, and i played Tauren Shaman back then.. guess tauren druid it is. Mulgore, home again.

Was around the time that Obama's propaganda budget ran out, for countering those damn dirty "russian bots" and their influence on (((local, true-blooded grassroots))) politics.
In all likelihood they were funded by that budget.

WoW classic tends to encourage grouping together, if that helps.
Otherwise you should probably avoid it.

They're going to shard the capital cities. So no more capital city raids or Kazzak Does Stormwind.
They're also going to keep the server pop as low as 3k so that even Stranglethorn Vale feels sparse and empty.
They're going to kill their own game purely by being stingy cunts on the server infrastructure.

Idiot. The reason those other MMOs never clicked with you is because they weren't WoW.

I was in a top 5 EU guild back in vanilla, got some EU first kills even. Playing warlock was bliss. We only ever brought 2 warlocks so I got geared on set drops in no time and only ever needed t2.

Farming for buff food was a non issue because as a warlock on horde side you were always threat capped anyways so there was no reason to buff your dps.

neat. i was at least in the top 2 horde guild on my also eu server.. but there was like 4 or even more better alliance guilds.

we had a lot more than 2 warlocks as far as i remember. probably a reason why we never got close to clearing naxx
