>calling others zoomers when you're too underage to have even played vanilla WoW
Can't believe you even try to deny it when it's literally in the patch notes, lmao. And everybody used to use them, especially for lower level dungeons.

So sorry you never got to experience vanilla when it was fresh.

No body even used the meeting stones you fucking zoomer

it wasn't even a "queue" really

meeting stones are a really random point to try and troll on, kiddo.. not sure why you're picking it out of all the things you could pick

even though meeting stones existed they aren't true LFG that people think of today. You can't just queue into a LFG from anywhere in the world, there isn't a *pop* when you are placed in a group and it doesn't automatically teleport you anywhere or into the dungeon. They were a basic attempt at what would later evolve into traditional LFG but was just a barebones system at the time.

LFG will not be in classic and you can cry about it all you want on here but no one wants it in the game and Blizz has already confirmed it will not be added.

I think there is some method of removing your memory of certain things to experience them again.

Yes we're well aware what meeting stones are, and they'll be in the game, just as they were in vanilla. It's always hilarious that private server kids try and convince you that they never existed just because their private server devs are too shitty to program it in.

sips, more like saps, ammirite :D

Throw those fucks into ignore list and never have any deals with them in the future

Meeting stones were in vanilla, but they couldn't summon until 2.0.1 which is not 1.12, which is what patch classic is launching

Literally no downside to it being added. If you think this isn't vanilla wow with a shitload of balance changes and QoL changes, you're a deluded boomer

Yep, but aside from not summoning you to the instance they work in exactly the same way as the LFG system.

It's okay kid, I'll give you a B for effort.

Attached: 1553881406818.jpg (600x449, 48K)

no they didn't, they worked like a non-xrealm group finder

No one used them when I played vanilla. Everyone just spammed /1 or trade.

Private server zoomers don't know that global chat wasn't a thing in vanilla. Or at least, it was only a thing for like one patch

can someone explain how the fuck are meeting stones supposed to work?

>they work in exactly the same way as the LFG system
But nobody used them because traveling to them just to click and wait was a pain in the ass so people spammed trade chat in IF. You would know this if you played back then.

And i'll give you an S for spilling your spaghetti and showing everybody you've never played the real version of vanilla.

They don't. I don't even think Blizzard even really knew what they were trying to do with them at the time.

Read the patch notes from 1.5, you could join a meeting stone queue from an innkeeper in any town. Yet another zoomer private server baby exposes themselves.

>it's a wrathbaby tries to damage control for lfd episode

You join the meeting stone queue and it finds you a group. Then you make your way to the instance.

>tfw can still remember where I got my first headpiece from
It was a gray leather hat from a turtle in Hillsbrad

They were pretty awful. Couldn't select spec so you'd get groups with a warrior, 2 rogues, a mage, and a priest. The priest would be "lol I'm shadow I can't heal" then leave. The warrior would swear he could beat the mage in DPS and that you should find another warrior to tank. You had to touch the stone to queue and the queue wouldn't teleport you.

It is the most prototype lfg system you can imagine.

That also works on lightbringer you braindead retard, nobody uses a fixed point where they have to stay instead of just going on with their business and spamming a global channel.

but what's the fucking point if you need to get to the instance to use it?

If you're already in the area of the dungeon, you click it and then go back to what you were doing

As i've already said, you can join it from any innkeeper.

Aren't those the exact same problems with LFG?

Oh boy. Can't wait for all the try hard to get to 60 in less than a week and shit up the server til everyone unsubs again

My mate and I hard quit WoW a few years ago, and now he is prodding me with questions like "do you follow the patch notes" or "hey did you know they announced a release date". He is going to ask me The Question. He is going to ask if I will resub for Classic. I don't know, man. I really don't know. The gameplay is so dull by now, its the same game, the exact same game, for half of my life, playing the same way. My backlog is larger than the swelling on my mouse wrist, and he is going to ask me "that". He is going to scratch the heroin scars. I don't know. I just don't. I just. JUST.

>it’s the same game, the exact same game
Except it’s not. You’re underestimating how different vanilla is from the trash blizzard has been shitting out for the last ten years.

I can't agree. A lot of the charm of previous zones were lost. I love the Barrens because it's just so big. Splitting it up into different zones killed that appeal.

what happens if you fall in there and your hearth is down?

does unstuck still work?

Remember, nobody cares if you play a game for a ludicrously long period of your life. At least you'd find some sense of joy out of it.
But, if you're really scared of a video game like a little bitch boy, then just don't. You won't miss anything new.
Do what you want.

I've played it, its the same game.
Tab target, hotkey based, heat seeking projectiles, dance around to keep the other guy facing you, etc. Its the same game, with different numbers.

>this guy's class is Rogue

It already was two zones, there just wasn't an explicit barrier, just an implied one.
Like we talked earlier in the thread about Silverpine Forest, another zone cut in two by an invisible wall.

So what will happen to Private servers next month?

Attached: RMT.jpg (932x371, 51K)

>does unstuck still work?
The lava works, I guess.
I've only leveled up through Cata once, so I don't know for sure. It doesn't really matter, the Cataclysm world was wasted because of the Dungeon Finder option. You could 100% of the time be in dungeons, which were pretty easy to do, and get random rare items and potions at the end as a bag of goodies for using LFG. Honestly just sitting in town hitting the LFG button was probably the best way to level up.

is this just chink fuck you ban or did u buy?

I'm pretty sure there are a couple paths out on each side if I remember correctly.

The absolute fucking denial. This is what we call shifting goalposts. Yes, it was garbage and did not account for tanks, healers and damage dealers and so not many used it, but it also did in fact exist as a primitive LFG tool. There's zero reason to be in denial. There stands a possibility nubabbys won't be able to deal and will try to make it work this time around, so be expected to see more use of it to an extent.

um, no it's the blackrock slicer, sweaty

do people want holy paladins in raids or nah

when people say lfg they mean teleporting you into a dungeon automatically

It's not that they can't, but rather would have no cannon interest in doing so. It's a rag worn by lowlife, petty civilian criminals. It's a symbol only Rogues would have genuine interest in sporting, as it takes one to know one.

Yeah, of course. It's tedious af though.

Holy Paladins are BiS healers so what do you think.

I think...maybe.....but not sure

I used meeting stones and no one cared about group comp for anything below 40. If they did they were shit at the game. Even then you
usually didn't need a dedicated tank or healer until Blackrock spire thanks to how broken every hybrid was.

It's better to take the zeppelin to Org once you're lvl 11-12 and start doing Barrens shit. You'll get rep with the other Horde races so all the vendors and services become cheaper (Undead start with had rep with the other Horde races iirc) and you aren't missing out on the SFK quests by not doing any quest line in Silverpine as they're all standalone quests unlike WC where you need to do all those Oasis quests first before you get the quest that gives you a blue piece of gear

I remember runs like that. No one ragequit either. Players were a stronger breed back then.

what is happening here?

If you pick Concreation at 20lvl and then dump everything rest in to Prot you can actually tank a lot of Group content better than Warriors during leveling. Then you can also farm Lashers in DM.

you're equivocating hard between the optional auto-join feature of the group finder and wrath's lfd which was immediately disastrous

This is literally in Light's Hope and nobody uses it because it's shit.
There is a good reason why Blizzard removed.

blizzard promised no changes though wtf

level 5 more like.

ARE THERE ANY PVE SERVERS WITH MORE THAN 10 PLAYERS?

I ended up tanking as fury. Even when I wasn't the tank. Taunting mobs off them was a good way to kill stuff faster if you got a good one that didn't throw an autism fit over it.

PvE servers are always capped and most HC raiders usually play there.

did someone say [Thunderfury Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?

THAT DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION

Filtered.

They don't use it because Chink's hope has a global chat channel, which vanilla never had.

And Blizzard never removed it, they just changed it to summon you to the instance because WoW's playerbase had become too lazy to travel to an instance.

You're not going to be pissing off anybody sitting in SW waiting for groups.

Paladin tanks and Druid tanks get spots you noob. Except in pug raids.

How bad is Prot Warrior leveling if I really like to do dungeons and shit so I can walk around in full blues 24/7?

It's either Warrior or Shaman on the PvE server so I can either be Tank mode or Heal mode but I'm pretty sure I can trust at least a few % of the populace to know how to heal in Classic compared to how 95% of Warriors simply won't know how to tank.

Attached: 1550648316160.jpg (646x1240, 188K)

They'll always pick me, the chad warrior, over you though. Good luck with that.

Don't go prot and still do dungeons.
Prot adds fuck all to your ability to tank in lower levels.

You dont need prot to tank leveling dungeons.

Just Sword and Shield.
Outside Dungeons just use 2h.

I mean you'll have fun you dont mind healing raids and getting the AQ40 gear, then you can just have tons of fun with it.
Pointless, completely and utterly pointless, you're better going arms, fury at about 40, then you're set to do whatever generic tank build at 60.

If theres only 1 chad warrior tank and 50 different parties it means all tanks are in high demand you ass hat.

That's nothing. I levelled as a prot warrior (I think?) because I was a little kid who couldn't speak english. Didn't even do any dungeons or nothing basicaly just grinding mobs on my prot warrior

It actually was. WoW was going to be built like Warhammer Online eventually was until they hired a bunch of shitty ex Everquest devs.

Can you really imagine Blizzard making a non-PvP centric MMO without some extraordinary circumstance derailing development?

What is the standard leveling spec nowadays for Warriors anyway?

You weren't alone.
I just wanted to spam heroic strike more, and eventually mortal strike. I even used gear that had intellect or spirit because it had more stamina.

whoa epic sick gamer bantz haha niggers

Boosts I guess. That's what I did when I resubbed for BfA briefly. If you want to autistically number crunch though, fury has the
self healing to solo level the fastest. Also the greatest potential for PvP outside of a dedicated group. They'll try to make you go arms in one.

I played shortly after launch and whem Burning Crusade came out, I was in high school at the time.

It wasn't that great a game, good for an MMO but all of them are skinner boxes that actively seek to fight your life for your time, and my life wasn't so boring and empty that I need to waste my time.

Sorry guys, but the nostalgia glasses are real.

>two healers never die
No shit sherlock

They were pretty much useless. They did not respect roles of a group or anything , you had a bigger chance of being put in a group with 3 hunters and 2 rogues than getting one with both a healer and a tank.

I liked dw fury, but it sucks since you have to keep track of updating two weapons instead of just one two hander. Flurry was my crutch.
Arms with MS is real good too.

Summoning stones are going to be in classic and if you disagree you're just a dummy with useless opinions that wants the game harder for no reason. Artificial difficulty.

Because hardly anyone used them. And then the function was just removed, because no one used them and replaced with the summoning function instead.

>People did use them though.
They clearly did not, or they would not have removed the feature a few patches after it was introduced and reworked it into something else entirely with nothing to replace what the old feature did.

People found groups in text channels, just like they did through out all of TBC.

>Stop talking about vanilla when you never played it, thanks
This is highly ironic coming from someone thinking there wasn't any problems with the meeting stone system and they just magically decided to change how they work and not put in a substitute for what it was before.

If you can't imagine how people found groups without the meeting stones, then how did you get through the next expansion and a half where nothing like it existed?

The false claim is that it was frequently used. You also struggled to figure out how people got by without the meeting stones, even though no system like it existed until late wotlk afterwards. You still seem to be dodging this question.

>people frequently used it
Just because you had experience with it doesn't mean, "people used it." Literally look on any forums anywhere, it was a shit system and everyone knows it. Why are you defending it so hard? No modern LFG system is going to be added to Classic, they've already confirmed it will not be added. So why are you shitposting about it?

>any innkeeper
Only ones close to the dungeon

why would you type so much about a game you didnt play

>The false claim is that it was frequently used.
Prove it. The only person struggling here is you lmao, which is because you're basing your vanilla knowledge off private servers.

I played a mage in vanilla and I cleared up to rag in MC. Which is probably further than 95% of Yea Forums got in vanilla.

When you factor in spells from talents and pvp talents, it is higher.
But in vanilla you did have to use more keybinds because of various downranks and keybinds.

Jokes on you, I don't even play wow anymore, I just came here to laugh at delusional nostalgiafags with rose-tinted glasses.

You can't use pvp talents in raids and instances, and not a lot of talents and pvp talents are active abilities. You do not have more abilities, this is a ridiculous statement. Even without downranking, you had a lot of binds compared to retail right now. Hell even last expansion you had a lot more binds than retail right now, and legion was still after the removal of a lot of spells.

imagine being so anally frustrated that you did not experience vanilla first hand that you meme and LARP about random mechanics on 4channel as if you did

absolutely yikes pilled

The status quo is that they existed in the game for 18 months, were constantly improved upon, and thus were clearly used. 3 other people in this thread have also told you they were used frequently. You are arguing against that, and thus the burden of proof lies with you. Good luck. Can't wait to see what forum post you try and dig up.

If I can get a year of value and fun from WoW that'll be enough for me.

The initial point and the most popular one is that meeting stones were not used. If you do not intend to bring up any proof, it'll just stay as that. You'll find that you being a contrarian will not affect classic in the slightest.

arena in vanilla would be pure garbage though. half the classes can one shot other classes.

There is no classic presently. Private servers don't count. So I can't really say what the latest trend in warrior leveling is.

Trannies play human females in vanilla

Okay, okay, here's another pity (You). It's the last one you're getting from me. I genuinely hope you'll make some changes in your life and become less unlikable and more sociable though.

I like the idea of many servers. On small servers we get autists who camp an entire zone all day and proclaim themselves 'bosses' of the zone griefing people all day. With many servers there are not enough no lifes to go around.

You're arguing against several people with no one taking your side, clearly you're just being an idiot. Just let it go, you'll be disillusioned when it comes out and it doesn't fit your fantasy.

TOR, tho bioware changed theyre talents for each class/spec to be more in line with post-cata wow. But the spells are all still there.

You do have more keybinds though, they pruned the abilities down to like 3 button rotations in later expacs.

nigger 80% of players never even stepped into a raid

Depends on how geared you are.

I think pre-raid for mages sageblade was 20 SP and -10 resist which i'm not sure how much that factored into. Total they had a bit less than 300 I think so it would be ~10% ish off SP alone.

Naxx-geared used wraith blade which was like 95 SP and their total was ~500ish so about 20%

I'm a vanilla veteran and I never even hit level 56.

I didn't play Warcraft 3 or read anything about the game before making a character. Skipped all the cutscenes too. My fault really. Wowie what a shock though.

I miss OG Alterac Valley so much. It was the perfect balance of pvp/pve and a glorious mess. Especially before cross realm battlegrounds, when notable players would step forward and take up leadership to coordinate attacks. Forming kill squads to take out tower objectives and assassinate healers on the enemy team so your players that were only competent at pve could slave away in the mines or help clear out enemy raid bosses. I used to lead games with a dedicated pvp guild and issue orders from up on high, usually holding down the Snowfall graveyard or a tower while a network of assigned captains would lead their squads to different parts of the battlefield and keep me updated on their progress. The promo trailer back then for WoW should have been a cinematic zoom-in from the top-down of Warcraft III down to everyone playing individual characters in Alterac.

I'm not equivocating shit. A LFG system is a LFG system. If people want to point out how cancer the newer LFG system was, with its ability to teleport its party members and further reduce the need for communication for forming parties, they need to say that instead of straight-out denying that LFG systems didn't exist in Vanilla. I'm in agreence that the latter was aids for the game, but if people are gonna' bitch, they gotta' bitch about things accurately and stop lumping shit together. There was an LFG system in Wrath and in Vanilla and both were, in fact, optional.

These threads make me so nostalgic but we can never go back. It's frustrating, I haven't been able to find a game that can scratch the itch of an MMO that isn't garbage gameplay wise.
