What is it about this game that makes Yea Forums so upset?

First mage then paladin.

Why are there so many trannies and futaniggers playing Retail? I'm not even being facetious, I thought it was just a meme but turns out there's a lot of these degenerates out there, as much as in XIV. To be fair, you gotta be mentally deficient to stick with retail and whale for so long.

It allows them to pretend they're special social snowflakes while not talking to anyone and piggybacking off of others

because retail has perfect doll races that trannies love to think its them, thats why they hate classic, because you dont have blood elves, draeneis and other gay shit

It's a good game. It's fun. I've played retail vanilla, as well as several vanilla private servers 1x 'Blizzlike' and done end game raiding and content in all of them.
I had fun every time. You hear that? FUN.

Cant wait to shit all over these brainlet nuWoW retail players.

Troll Rogue, just about as snowflake as possible. I assumed they'd be much more popular.

I know plenty of private server fags can't wait to flee from their slav and chink-infested hell holes and will gladly pay blizzard for stable and fast classic servers filled with people that speak english and won't suddenly disappear without warning one night.

Negro-san, do you even know how long it takes to get to Rank 14 even at best case scenario?

If someone is stubborn/dedicated enough to actually farm up to rank 13/14 through world pvp alone then they deserve the gear. Also we have no idea how itemization is going to work yet, they haven't really talked about what they plan to do with gear that changed from patch to patch, so who knows how that'll go.

>Also, vanilla launched with NO battlegrounds and this is emulating that.
Yeah I understand the #nochanges retardation, it's still fucking terrible. I don't see anyone wanting old talents because it'd be an obvious downgrade.

You’ll still be able to get rank 10 gear quite easily before BWL is even out. Come on now, this is a fucking garbage way to do it

It’s also mostly zoomers who browse this shit board and söytendo players. They know we prop this place up and when us boomer bros finally go home, they’ll have nowhere to go back to.

Nah I wasn't.

We got retail because people like him bitched for changes. We're getting classic because so many people hate the changes that people like him bitch about. Does that explain it better?

Bar the op weapons that are on par with naxx gear it's identical to how it was back then.

It's kinda weird how majority of 2h weapons were pretty close to each other in terms of dps, at least those that pushed for ~350 top weapon damage. The only two that break out of that group are Ashbringer and MoM.

Wanna play priest but don't want to roll dwarf... what do?

can I get a quick rundown on 2h warriors dps? is it viable for pve or does everyone just dual wield?

I'm leveling an allied race in retail and I'm thinking to myself how different leveling was back when I played vanilla, because I never reached the level cap and I think I hated it even back then. I don't like it, but it's all I want to do right now and I don't know why.

The only thing i remember of late classic is absolutely slaughtering whole graveyards with a rank 14 war and a t2.5 retri pala.
is that what's it's going to be like?

Supposedly it's viable. Never played a Warrior but I hear 2h is frequently brought to clear trash. As for boss dps? I can only guess but if you were to get an early Bonereaver's Edge, you could do that...

99% sure you would still be Fury, no MS for you.

Pick the race you want to play, there will be enough dwarves

Go horde for that

They should add blood elves and draenei

Hell no

Which Ogre models are they going to have?

Attached: DonDOEm.jpg (700x560, 107K)

Horde doesn't have enough trannies. For the sake of equality, horde needs blood elves.

PvP weapons aren't even close to Naxx. They're closer to Ashkandi. Still super strong, but nothing like MoM.

Are you going to heal, user?
Oh, what a question. Of course you are (:
I like the newer model, personally.

>because I never reached the level cap and I think I hated it even back then. I don't like it, but it's all I want to do right now and I don't know why.
Same, played a dwarf hunter back in vanilla but never broke 50 I think. For some reason I just really want to play priest this time around and it's got me excited for a reason I seriously can't explain, because the very idea of it should be putting me off. But it doesn't.

People cheering the game that killed the mmo genre

Now that I think about it it's crazy how much retexture blizz has done with the models they introduced. 90% of their current NPCs are using skeletons introduced during Vanilla - BC - WotLK.

Nah, that'd be WotLK-Cataclysm with all the MMO-lite elements that turned the game into a single player skinner box with a chat.

Attached: 1554738805631.jpg (755x1200, 253K)

Now that there's a chance to properly implement post vanilla contents, would blizz remake the sindorei? As in Silvermoon actually gets rebuilt at some point and male belves are chad spellbreakers and bloodmages instead of faggots?

That's typical of MMOs. I think it's because it saves memory and time. XIV also recycles a ton of assets from not only XI but other FF games too.

Have sex

and that's a good thing

wow was still a pretty big precursor to solo player mmos since its inception and had tons of casual shit like no xp loss on death.

cataclysm was the best raiding since TBC and WoW was always the casual gateway into the genre because prior to WoW everything was along the lines of UO where you'd have roaming rightwing death squads JUSTing everyone and taking all your shit. WoW was also among the first mmos to not feel janky as fuck

Nope, there will be plenty of female orcs and undead and shit but elves don’t belong on the horde

WoW was always a skinner box

It's okay, bro. You don't have to be obnoxiously negative about everything ever. You can be this thing called "cautiously optimistic".

Alliance will still be more populated than horde. There are very few horde streamers

I agree, but I do believe Vanilla was striking a good balance of being somewhat challenging/deep, without too many frustrating or boring elements... Such as EXP loss, which I'm sure I'm not the only one hating.
The thing I see replicated in nu-mmos are mostly taken from BC-Cata era. Dailies/weekly quests, LFG tool, instances everywhere,...
Please elaborate. It wasn't nearly as coldly streamlined as it is today.

>WoW was also among the first mmos to not feel janky as fuck
Yeah, that too is something. Coming from Runescape to WoW felt magical in that way.

Okay then I will play classic wow

WoW Vanilla is loved by most because of its leveling experience that basically always gives you something to look forward to with each level. Endgame is garbage because the gameplay itself is garbage. The game was designed around making you grind for rewards.

Not a bad choice user. Orc’s probably have the most under rated PvP racial in the game. I almost think it’s better than undeads. Not to mention the 5% pet damage increase

will we finally have battlegroups again? where my whirlwind niggas at

There's also not a single thing wrong with that, game is called Warcraft and if people can get good gear by no-lifing the fuck out of wpvp than more power to them. This entrenched idea that good gear should only come from carefully controlled instanced attraction park bullshit is retarded anyway.

>Endgame is garbage
I prefer vanilla raiding over post wrath cutscene galore. first tiers had some really interesting environmental storytelling. its funny how the whole onyxia chain is more epic than any of the new cutscene shit.

I'm rolling Druid solely because there's so few of them and they're always in demand, and since there's only like 3 druids in each raid, there's that much less competition for tier gear.

How is that different from any other mmo? Also what is wrong with providing the player with an incentive to interact with the content? It can go too far for sure, retail is a good example of that, but Vanilla never really just threw powerful shit at you. If you don't like that content then that's fine, but that just means it's not your type of game. I found the end game to be the best part of my Vanilla experience.

150k active accounts (accounts logged in during the past 30 days)

seething retailcucks trying to spread misinformation

Especially considering the wpvp grind will certainly take just as long if not longer than getting geared through raids. Not to mention only a very small handful of people will ever get that 'overpowered' pvp gear, whereas everyone can gain access to raid content with little effort. I don't get what this retarded gate keeping is about, this shit was never even a discussion in vanilla. If you had epics, through PVP or raids, it was clear that you earned them.

the initial wave of Nostalrius players was just the precedent for the much larger wave to follow it
the top two posts on r/wow are (in this order) the classic wow announcement and an overdramatic letter to blizzard telling them how fucking bad retail is now

classic will undoubtedly see a very healthy level of players

>How is that different from any other mmo?
Exactly. Vanilla is a skinnerbox just like any other MMO. See my first post.
I never said there was anything wrong with skinnerbox design. If people enjoy it it's all that matters. Just don't try to parade it as something that killed your favorite MMO when your favorite MMO is just as guilty of it.

The best way to level a warrior.

I swear to christ those fags never actually played Vanilla. I remember when that patch hit and everyone was fucking happy. Especially if you were one of those unfortunate fucks who was stuck on a lop sided server, or one where one faction was demonstrably superior to the other in terms of pvp.

Those were either a band aid fix for dead realms or to prep the game for arenas in tbc or both. So this might not be a thing for a long time, if at all

So,I play currently on a classic server and my experience is kinda meh going back.
Give me one good reason why I should pay blizzard money for this ? Except >muh chinks or russians,both are not that relevant on my server.
Also another things is defend:
1.Absolutely garbage Class trees,with very questionable end talents.
2.one buttom rotation
3.Garbage PvP-System (I was rank 11 back then btw),that is just a mindless grind and premade nepotism
4.Absolute Braindead Pve-Encounters with the skill level of people today.

The only thing good about Classic that is good,it takes a bit more to grind in general.The World is actually alive,you see many people in all zones.Also Class quest and attunements are also very good,plus the design of the zones is very comfy.But other than that ? It is just to easy Pve-Wise and PvP outside of World PvP is an absolute garbage grindfest.

I honestly think about playing Tbc/Wrath on a Privatserver.

>Trying to cast a stamina buff on a player but he's too low lvl and it doesn't auto adjust so you have to open your spellbook to throw a lower rank stamina buff
I actually had two stamina buffs on my bar so I could buff the most people

Yeah no, you could not do that unless it was possible in early Vanilla. You'd get the "target too low level" message if you tried. Later patch (TBC?) automatically scaled down the ability if you casted it on someone too low lvl.

In my experience Classic fags are some of the most insecure and retaliatory people I've seen on Yea Forums and probably in general if you wanna throw people like Alexensual into it.
Now obviously there are some massive examples of this from /wpsg/ (Tewi) but even here if you bring up the most basic shit that has been agreed on as terrible by the community for 8+ years now people will jump down your throat. Like even bringing up the massive chink influence on the markets is a no-go in these threads. On the vast majority of servers Mara farms with a hunter alt have been made practically mandatory if you want to purchase raid consumables for the week in a reasonable time but the only response you'll get is "ACTIBLIZZARD WILL FIX IT, THEY HAVE MONEY LALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU RETAIL SHILL".

>comparing a brand new, demanding and exciting game with a 15 year old relic of a game

You just live in your own little world, don't you? It must be the reason of why you are so content with containing yourself with Classic so much. "Muh nostalgia" and all.

fpbp
everyone knows what happened to rs3 after osrs released

There would be fucking war with the retailfags in the existing wow general.

Classic is an upcoming, new release just like any other remaster or remake. Don't be a semantics faggot.

I'll probably play it if it comes out in a content draught

>but even here if you bring up the most basic shit that has been agreed on as terrible by the community for 8+ years now people will jump down your throat.
I think you're just projecting and or being autistic because anyone interested in classic really doesn't give a shit if you or anyone else dislikes x y or z about the time period. No matter how you try to spin your gripes with vanilla, it comes down to "you think you do but you don't" which is just asinine because I assure you I do.

The fact that it is going to be dead on arrival.

Sounds like pserver garbage. You can keep your shit in /wpsg/ or whatever general that trash is in nowadays.

I really wish all these retail trannies would shut the fuck up, most of us have played vanilla countless times and those who like it will play it. Those who don't like it can fuck off.

It will exist as an alternative to the modern WoW garbage.

It's part of the d2 questline. Won't be there until the AQ patch I think

Because most of the players longing for the game are actually longing for their childhood when they had zero cares in the world.
Now, being total losers having grown up, they think everything is going to change come summer. But, in reality, everything will stay the same and they will quit in a few months.

But they already said the graphics are going to improve. Setting it to medium will give old graphics.

But most of the current WoW audience won't touch Classic after a month of playing. And I am generous here. They will just see what it is, find it archaic and tedious, and drop it. What will remain will be the autist boomers.

Fair enough. Although WoW isn't known for its modern breathetaking graphics.

Denial 101.

Even the autist boomers won't remain for long.
Vanilla WoW has always been a game based around taking advantage of others and that leads to a fucking weird scenario when it's also a game that has been fully solved and play tested by autists for the past 10 years.
How it's always worked out on Private servers anyway is
>one guild of autist absolutely crushes everyone else.
>get all the world firsts and have multiple sub guilds run by clique members with fodder feeding them all the relevant gear drops.
>get bored of farming and turn to griefing the overworld.
>"midcore" players who can't compete eventually get frustrated by having 50+ people camping DM North/BRD entrance
>"midcores" reroll onto other faction
>server pop ends up 60/40 split for the faction with the most people griefing instance entrances
>server ends up 75/25 since the other faction ends up not having enough people to raid let alone get to the raid/dungeon entrances
>main factions super raiders eventually get bored because no one left to grief and can't run BGs because the queue times are so long thanks to faction pop difference.
This is the death of every single Private server and will be the death spiral of Classic WoW as well.

Wow is the one game where I can safely call an experience
Classic not only has the polish and details and SOUL of old blizzard games but it's also boosted by a huge community of people that are willing to help or fuck you over, mostly help.

Coupled with the deep carefully crafted world building and the dangerous quests and mobs, it creates a wild west free for all feeling where anything can happen.

The "good" classic community won't exist, it's going to be 90% retail people who are sick of BFA.
What is there even to do for you? Are you really going to waste thousands of hours just so that you can get cred and show off to other losers in a 15 year old game?
You shouldn't feel inferior for not having finished Naxx, less than 0.01% of the classic players did. That is why they brought it back in lich king.

Guys, I'm gonna play Classic when it comes out. I know absolutely nothing about World Of Warcraft, what race should I pick?

United States (specifically the same city Blizzard's in). Fall starts late September here.

Gimme some good videos, then

Whichever one you like the best. There are some differences but they aren’t so gigantic to really dissuade you.

Why?

Troll for swag
Undead if you wanna be a minmax fag
NE if you wanna be a tranny and do easy mode raiding (Pallies and blessing of salvation)

Does it have any Tolkien-inspired races? I know it has Orcs but are there any others?

reminder that dwarf priest is the only viable priest

no

Trolls are just ugly, just look at the alpha troll female model. They were originally hunched over like the men

Shadowmeld + MC> muh fear ward

Dwarves. I guess gnomes sorta pass for Hobbits, but not really. Blood Elves are the closest to regular Tolkien elves, but they're not in Classic.

Who wants to group with autists anyway

gnomes are all about technology and industry in warcraft. polar opposite of hobbits personality-wise.

Fpbp

Not every raid will be made up of minmaxing hyper autists like you user

are those the pants?

Dwarves are DnD inspired, which itself is tolkein inspired. I know that’s being pedantic but they’re not quite the same for the reasons you’d call a game a WoW cline instead of an EQ clone.

I mean, what you just posted is true and we've seen time and time again. What personally troubles me is their complete denial. Why? You know the game by book by now. And if they add twists and changes then it won't be vanilla again. How can they be so intentionally blind and oblivious to it? It can't be all nostalgia here.

And ok, be oblivious to it, it's on you after all. Why do you have to spam the board with it? It becomes annoying after a while, same as those Smashfags for example.

Never played WoW here, can anyone give me a quick and easy rundown on the combat? Is it action0oriented or a bit calmer?

It was the way you would dps as a warrior prior to mechanical changes with the AQ patch making it so Fury damage scaled much better with gear than before. So since we're working on 1.12 mechanics, fury will still be better but arms is amazing for pvp.

That was by design, Horde had many quests that didn't go anywhere purely because they were worked on second and ran out of time.

Because, for all our nostalgia, we know it ultimately wouldn't live up to it, even if the project WASN'T run by nu-blizzard.

>Renember when I used to spoil Harry Potter Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows on WoW
Good times, I will make sure to do that with Classic too.

It’s much worse in recent years. The Chinese have destroyed your ability to earn gold while leveling.
They have bots designed to farm every basic resource and pile it onto the AH at vendor cost. This might sounds great at first like “Oh hey I can level my crafter for like 10 gold and my bandages are dirt cheap” but in reality it means that those nice cloth drops are now just another vendor trash item. The only items of worth are high level crafted gear and mats like Felcloth and Elemental Fire, all of which is completely locked down by chinks cross faction collusioning their way into making a completely impenetrable market.
The only way around this is by farming vendor trash like Mara farms with a designated hunger alt. The issue is EVERYONE knows this and it leads to an even bigger issue, inflation. Suddenly all of the gold in the world is coming from vendors and very little of it is going back into them. This is the exact reason why many servers require 1.3k gold worth of consumables per week for raiding (about 25-30 hours of Mara farm).

Ur so hardcore XD

True, but Horde are going to get raped in the first PvP phases when there's no BGs. In Phase 1 with no dishonorable kills, Crossroads will be camped 24/7 on some servers a month in

multiple reasons. it makes me sad that one of the major "new" mmo announcements is a remake of something that actually existed years ago, which just shows again how fucked the mmo genre is.
another reason would be that they could invest their time into creating something better, since im pretty sure classic will fail.

>WoW Classic becomes successful
In what?

This isn't a private server. Some realms will be Alliance favored, and others might be Horde favored. Also there won't be 10k people shoved into a single server so it will be less likely that people will be at Crossroads or Lakeshire to gank, even without battlegrounds or dishonorable kills.

Seething. You can't reply for shit.

There is no way Classic can be a success since you have no idea what will constitute as success for it. Do you believe that it will gather a lot of subscription money? It won't. Do you believe it will gather a large following of people? Not for long. Only the boomers will be left.
How on earth can Classic be considered a possible "success"?

It's literally impossible for Classic to be considered a financial success these days. Blizzard is looking for what, 150k subs to make Classic pay off? But even then mmo's don't really make money from subs these days and Classic wont have a cash shop. Even if Classic were to somehow get the same amount of active players as retail it still wouldn't be anywhere near as profitable.

Not that user, but he's not entirely wrong. It sucks for sure, but a game like Classic doesn't really work in the modern market. Even if it is popular and manages to pull in a reasonable sub count, share holders will eventually ask what Blizzard intends to do to maximize on that potential profit. Since there is already a precedent for things like micro transactions they would be forced to use them. The only alternative would be finding a way to prove that they can turn a comparable profit through other methods, but if that were possible I'd love to see how. Either way it's incredibly unlikely that the game will ever achieve the critical mass to even encounter those issues, which is a problem in its own right. There's no real winning situation. All we can hope is that enough true fans stick around to keep the game playable until it reaches its natural conclusion.

This has nothing to do with anything that was posted in the comment chain you are replying to.

>But even then mmo's don't really make money from subs these days
How do you even breath?

>when you ask a rhetorical question about a certain demographic's state of mind and they came back frothing at the mouth asking the same question for you backing themselves up with appeal to popularity and "this is true because I say so" and then attack you for not coming up with proper arguments even though nothing they've said is worth anything

way to undersell the value of yourselves lmao

Amazing.

It has everything to do with what was said. His arguments are to the point. There is no success for classic from a marketing standpoint. He speaks completely logical. Your classic-tinted glasses just don't let you see it.

You read anything in that post past "seething?" You are aware that he just added that in and the posts before it were arguing about "new good/bad old bad/good," right?

>shitloads of shill threads
Fix'd that for you.

Having you read through any of the earning reports? WoW makes a significantly more off of its in game purchases than it does off of subs. It's part of why they don't report sub numbers, because ultimately they don't reflect the games success and uneducated people will read them as a sign that the game is failing. Blizzard has been pandering specifically to the demographic that is most likely to made those kinds of purchases, which is why a lot of players feel alienated. It's also why the game is still a financial success for the company. It doesn't matter how many subs they have just so long as the ones they 'do' have are spending enough money in the cash shop to make the difference.

These threads invariably devolve to the point that people talking about the game aren't even visible between the shitposting.

Look at this shit. Jesus.

Now fuck off poor shill.
You have no arguments. Only memes

The problem was that it was made so essential, you could play the game while barely ever needing to leave. Also it didn't have the true customization that would appeal to player housing types. Like, if you're Alliance, you're stuck with Human aesthetics, and if you're Horde, you're stuck with Orc aesthetics. Night elves, undead, blood elves, draenei, goblins and Pandaren feel like strangers in their own garrisons.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still a Classic/vanilla fan and really want it to succeed, I just know better than to get my hopes up. I'm still going to play and enjoy the hell out of it, and I have high hopes at least for the early life span.

Not sure what you're implying.

i had skinning on my character back in vanilla. i think i got 60-70% of the way when I hit 40

my friend lent me some gold for it though
good times.

Don't reply to him user. Can't you see he's braindead and not even fit for discussion?

The PvP update killed Classic sadly.

The game will be, and I mean this in the most literal way, unplayable. Every 48+ zone will be completely unplayable. Hubs like Menethil Harbor will mean certain death.

Hopefully Blizzard understands they have made a massive mistake.

60-70% is good, especially if you were as clueless about the game as the rest of us. Just think about what you know now going in, it should be easy enough to get the gold you need by 40.

I know, you're right. That kind of weird stubborn autism is just frustrating.

1. The “GOING HOME” threads are complete cancer.
2. FFXIV is still the trannycord MMO of choice so you can expect discussion of any other MMO on Yea Forums to go straight down the shitter.

why? because the first few months wont have dishonorable kills?

it dosent make that much of an impact

Glad you are gone, now never post again in one of these threads.

No, it's that I'm not exactly interested anymore because you retards pile up on me and I can't keep up because you autists post every 60 seconds. You're basically using a large volume of posts to silence the opposing end.

>x killed Classic
Not sure why people are so fucking anxious to throw this kind of stuff around. Like does it make you feel smart and interesting to have such a strong unsubstantiated opinion? Don't get it.

You guys are utterly clueless like most people in these threads. It will be horrible because the best way to gain honor WITH BATTLEGROUNDS is to gank people in the world, with no battlegrounds to play it will be THE ONLY WAY to gain honor.

Even with battlegrounds out, it would have been a slaughterfest at every popular hub and every single zone containing 48+ people. But with no battlegrounds at all AND 1.12 items, it will be unplayable. We have already seen this on both Kronos and Northdale, and they even had battlegrounds available.

yo whats the best hunter ammo for lvl 60 there doesnt seem to be any guides on it

also what you fags rolling, dorf hunter here

I dunno, I played during vanilla before BGs were added and it was never that bad. Plus your whole issue can be avoided by just playing on a PVE server. Not sure why it would spell death for the entire game. Besides even if the armor/weapons are the 1.12 versions it's going to take a long fucking time before have the honor and gold required to buy them. You're also talking about high population cap private servers, but we haven't heard anything about server pop yet so it might be a reasonable comparison.

I am the herald of the OBJECTIVE TRUTH! Only I see the truth behind everything. I AM THE AUTHORITY! WALLOW IN MISERY WITH ME

Why the FUCk is there WAR in world of WARcraft???
I thought we were just going from point a from point b?????????????????????????????????????????
am i supposed to hate the enemy faction?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
can we like not??????????????????????????????????

It's retail players knowing deep down their days are numbered

Dude for real. Like how stressful must life be if you're always catastrophizing everything? Why is it that people are so unwilling to take a measured approach and think reasonably about things?

>I played in 2004
Congratulations, so did I. Things have changed.

There is a reason PvP servers are more popular than PvE servers.

>it's going to take a long time before you have the rank and gold
No it's not. Gold is not an issue, ever, and ranking to 14 takes 12 weeks.

Population doesn't matter, gold doesn't matter, and if it was like you said "it takes a long fucking time" then this issue would be even worse. The fact of the matter is this is the worst possible case and I hope Blizzard realize this.

>can we like not?

Stay on your chink private servers, faggots. We immersion chads are going home.

Holy shit it's going to be so amazing seeing people on fucking cats and horses again. I don't think I've seen a nightsaber in literally fucking years

If you're so confident of all that then, like I said, just play on a pve server.

How many pserver fags do you think will complain about "bugged mechanics" which are in fact authentic and pservers have always got them wrong, after the game launches?

a fuckload actually

I won't be playing classic at all because it will be bad. I'm just saying people are in for a very rude awakening with these changes and decisions they have made.

Only Light's Hope shitters will complain since they think their funserver is Blizzlike.

Didn't you see the complaints about the warlock pet summons disappearing being 'not classic' during the Blizzcon demo?
You'll see the same thing with stuff like Warriors and Paladins trying to /sit macro and other nostcore inaccuracies

I'm playing pve so I don't care

I CANT DECIDE ON MY CLASS

>blizzard: we literally have the original game running here, this is how it was
>private server shitters: REEEE YOU'RE WRONG
these people are mentally ill. I hope they find something that causes them to sperg out so hard that they stay on their chinkshit servers and leave the rest of us alone

something that doesn't have to buy a mount

You're effectively asking Blizzard to find a cure for cancer. I think it's a bit much.

same. i want to play a lock but i want to press more than one button in pve

>raptors and nightsabers
I'M COMIN HOME

Because it's FREE, dipshit.

I have a question for the private server players.
Back during retail I ran a website for my server (Magtheridon-US) which featured a ranked/ladder system for Dueling which was fairly popular at the time. I'm thinking of recreating this for the re-launch, but I've been gone from the WOW community for so long that I don't know if anyone would care enough to utilize it. Do you think this would be popular amongst the 'modern' Vanilla playerbase? Do people still duel on private servers?

To be fair $15 might as well be free as long as you're not a third worlder or neet.

How hard(hours per day) do you guys think it'll be to get to Rank 11? I want that mount.

I play private servers pretty casually but see duels a lot. As long as people like PvP I'm sure they'll be popular.

I think the majority of people on Yea Forums either don’t care or are happy about it, it’s just an outspoken minority of retail fags that spam threads endlessly about how classic is going to fail.

DOA

Attached: ClassicFags_BTFO.jpg (2944x2018, 3.88M)

You’re insane if you think there aren’t people who will pay for a stable server, in fucking NA, with talents and spells that work, and won’t vanish overnight

not for the server owners, they require donations to keep the servers running

just because you don't pay doesn't mean the game itself is actually free.. same with P2W gacha games, the average player isn't the one holding up the fort

Someone posted this video in another thread
youtube.com/watch?v=yFbX5drsnAw
and it helped me understand why the ranked system is so fucked time investment wise. Basically you'll need to no-life for a couple months but for the average player I imagine it would take a lot longer.

Hordefags, how does it feel to be rolling the wrong faction that Blizzard literally didn't finish while they gave all the attention to Alliance content?

Attached: 1554752332551.jpg (700x820, 228K)

The exact math is out there but it's several months for sure. And that's if you're hitting honor cap each week which takes an autistic amount of time to pull off. For a reasonable person with a job you'll be going at it for a while and pvp will basically occupy every moment of your game time.

It's even simpler than that. It's just shitposters. People pretend to be seething retailfags here for (You)s, and you all need to learn to ignore them.

its the same as when ds1 got remastered, people were so high on nostalgia that they forgot how bland thease older games were

Undead warrior because that's cool

Well, let's go through it step by step.
What faction do you prefer?

Undead priest, because devouring plague is amazing
Undead warrior, because cannibalize helps a lot
Troll Hunter, because good racials in general
Orc Hunter, same as troll hunter, but more melee/pet focused
Tauren Druid, because druids are awesome for leveling

I have it between warrior, shaman, or mage, and I like them all for completely different reasons that I don't think I can really weigh vs each other. I might just have to roll for it

It's also worth noting that trolls are the only warriors that start with a ranged weapon proficiency (throwing).

Orc Warrior (dps)
Troll Warrior (tank)
Orc Rogue
Troll Shaman
Troll Priest
Troll Mage
Troll Hunter
Undead Warlock

Only viable options

Southshore and lakeshire can be countercamped, because killing horde guards doesn't reduce goblin rep. Ratchet not only has neutral guards that you don't want to piss off, but also has that boat to booty bay, so you got shitheads streaming in from the other continent, as well.

Tolkien hobbit + wow goblin smart/craftiness - wow goblin jew greed - lore importance = gnomes

Oh yeah, I think we're going back, brothers.

How about Orc Shaman (dps)

Shamans heal.

No need to be upset that it's the best combination user

Get ready to spam buffs and go oom

Horde offers no advantages in PvE, Undead does, therefore Undead is better.

Go NH for that run they had to do in classic to get to Stormwind

enjoy your amazing pvp utility friend. only part that sucks is leveling as a pally
