Anyone else hype for classic wow raiding?

Leveling warrior really is hardmode and is kind of braindead imo, warrior is a fun class to play in a group but solo it's boring
If you want to have fun leveling I'd probably choose another class but what do I know

>WoW Classic coming out
>CoX has been released from Leandro's clutches
>SWG Emu is continuously making progress from fucking scratch
WILL 2019 BE THE YEAR OF THE BOOMER, Yea Forums?!

MOAR KINO?!

Alright lads.
I've never played WoW but can understand a desire to go back to earlier iterations of games you used to love.
What is it that made earlier WoW worth revisiting and do you actually think this game will capture that feeling?

I look forward to all the classic boomers being introduced to the wonders of raider.io, you guys are going to love it!

That guy is retarded don't listen to anything he says
WoW was an actual mmorpg back then

The thing about WOW before WOTLK is that Ion Hozzikostas wasn't there to fucking ruin it by turning it into one massive world first raiding circle jerk where everyone else got the hand me downs of content like LFR.

WOW in its current state is a trashfire, the core gameplay feels like shit, you get weaker as you level up, end game content is the same 5 dungeons for 2+ years with no sense of progression because next patch those same 5 dungeons drop gear on par with the previous raid on the most basic difficulty and the entire end game experience is designed for world first raiders to blow through in a week for some nonsensical esport pandering circle jerk, which for a subscription based MMORPG, that is absolutely trash.

I hope that classic blows live out of the water, just to prove to the activision overlords that Ion Hozzikostas is driving the live game into the ground with his obssession with raid speedrunning which has been evident since his vanilla and TBC speed clear videos and the fact the first raid he ever designed was also the first raid tier where the previous tiers were completely made invalid, and the raid itself was nothing more then a boss rush that everyone fucking hated.

even if they nail it 100% (which they won't) it still won't be anywhere near the same as it used to back then
this is mostly because there are datamining and guides all over the internet and the 'mystery' of everything will never be captured the same way.

despite all of this though it will still be pretty fun

Also half the fun where because everyone didnt know for shit what they where doing.
That includes me.

Reminder for everyone to roll on a PvP server so you don't have to deal with cancerous streamer communities

Yes.
Nothing ever will beat the feeling i got first time i saw someone with Thunderfury or Sulfuras in SW/IF and not having a single clue how to even get close to getting an item like that

Now that shit is irrelevant because you can access the information so easily

The only thing I will miss is the goblins.. I love playing races like that in game. But this is the OG and one small sacrifice is fine. Will I miss my goblins yes I will but so many things to work towards and resuffer and overcome. It's going to be glorious

Redpill me on Ion Holocaustaz. What was his career before joining Blizz? How did he ruin the game?

Half the 40 man raid would be incompetent in some way and the other half would carry them. Hate losing gear to a retard

Yes. And raids up to nax40 will also be a cakewalk because the mechanics are so basic that the only thing left will be the gearcheck to beat them.

He was a lawyer, he got his job because he was the guild leader of elitist jerks, who were the biggest theorycrafting guild in vanilla and BC.

I don't know how he got his job, but ever since he got involved with end game raid development the game has stagnated greatly, again, Trial of the Crusader was his first raid tier he designed, that should give you an idea of what he wants the game to be.

This is measurable with SWstats, if people are incompetent that is usually noticed and those people aren't prioritized for raid spots
I'd like if all instances were released instantly instead of having to wait for them
When progressing t2 content everybody will have almost bis t1 gear, when progressing t2.5 everybody will have almost bis t2 gear and so on, ruining the challenge
It would be fun to try naxx in t1 gear, that would actually be a challenge
But since your guild will almost be bis from previous tier every progression raid it will be easy af unfortunately

>Trial of the Crusader was his first raid tier he designed
Of all raids/instances I've played TotC has to be the worst one (never played past wotlk though)

This is quite the oversimplification considering Ghostcrawler was in charge of the game from WoTLK until I guess mid-MoP.

Raiding was shit
Raiding is what ruins every MMO today

Ghostcrawler was the systems director, Ion Hozzikostas was the end game design director.

Ghostcrawler created all the shit like Looking for Dungeon, Watcher designed the end game around his world first esport shit.

>meme guild

maybe you can get away with that now, but good luck organizing 39 retards to agree to get on at the same time. try making a more serious guild

who the fuck wants to play horde
literal mudhut niggers eating KFC in their designated nigger KFC huts in the middle of every zone (complete with every vendor, more quests then alliance and FP ofc oh and sometimes there is even a zeppelin or free transport thrown in) while chimping on anything that moves in numbers only despite rolling for pvp racials but never actually 1v1ing to use them
then porting into their literal mudhut nigger KFC city called "orgrimmar" more like ogreshit lol blizzard literally took some somalian shithole town and copy pasted it into wow to give that authentic nigger feel to the faction le monster races br0 check out these NO SHOES so whacky better name myself something fucking retarded like boogerbones to fit in btw get owned kid totally bg queued out of that 1v1 close one
you want a sick capital city to afk in br0? take your pick :

- literal sewer shithole with aids and feces everywhere
- some fucking retarded canyon thing where you fall off and die
- literal nigger kfc somali city

NO

SHOES

NO SHOES
N O S H O E S
N I G G E R

FUCK YOU HORDE NIGGERS

Go figure, Ghostcrawler wanted a MOBA, Ion Hozzikostas wanted speedrunning.

Neither of them wanted an MMORPG.

>AV objectives actually mattered
lol Alliance can easily bumrush Horde boss with little resistance. It will happen.

Would anyone else actually consider playing on an RP server if it meant that all chats were disabled other than /say and /yell?

Alliance has gnomes.
It is shit.

>letting an autistic lawyer and a clueless marine biologist ruin your game

Well, they hired Tigole who had a degree in...creative writing.

At least he actually had a lot of knowledge from Everquest and had an interest in making a decent rpg. Ion was just known for crunching numbers and it's no surprise that everything has to be about balance and zero taste. All weapons are the same, all instances the same shit, all classes have a way to deal with everything. It feels like it's designed by an autist because it is. And I don't even know how GC got the job. All I know is, he shouldn't have.

Cool story unironically
Games are for nerds btw

This guy is either drunk rambling or he's full sperg.

youtube.com/watch?v=BNFSAoA5TTg

not really most of the classes it's just spamming one button, mostly looking forward to leveling, dungeons and pvp

>1 viewer
gee i wonder whos self advertising

Stop shilling your stream you mentally ill NIGGER. you will never have friends.

I honestly dont think Ion is as bad as people say. I think the real problem comes from the business side of the game management. They wanted to open the game to every kind of market, and ended up castrating it.

The meta of raiding is what ruins it.
People get so fucking worried about having the optimal everything because there are so many players who are shit at the game mechanically.
The spergs who become guild leaders have to deal with droves of fucking retards who can't figure out the game on their own. Everything must be distilled into a guide for the slowest crayon eater to follow, yet they often can't even do that.
The solution to this is: SHITTERS DON'T GET TO RAID; GIT GUD OR STAY OUT

Bwizzad don't wike dis tho. Babby go cwy on fowums bout waid for eweetissts. Babby have chrilen n wagecuck dob no tiem fowah wern to waid but want shiny puhpows so can breten be eweet hunta. GIBS ME DAT FO FREE BWIZZARD

The gibs mentality really broke the game. I remember trying out the game in Pandaland (because 7 free days) and there was this island where you just ran around and collected free epics.without a need for grouping. Like an autistic daycare simulation.
Meanwhile in Vanilla being "full epic" meant you were an accomplished player.

Holy shit.

you won't need any potions
raided from molten core to naxx 3 bosses without using anything but weapon oils in a casual guild

people are much better at the game even naxx is going to be piss easy

>Shit will crash
let me fix that for you

What I love about the Classic community iss that everyone is positive and friendly, and banter is just that - banter. We're all focused on the game, no trash about niggers, kikes, /pol/ garbage, trannies etc.

I'm coming home, lads. Finally. Never played a private server, due to shitty family barely had any time with Vanilla, so 90% of content will be FRESH.

The thing people want most is the sense of community. They want those big raids because they require teamwork. They want the world to be fucking barren and basic world questing to be disgustingly difficult because it forces players together.
What they don't care to think about is that it won't happen. Their lives are different, their potential friends lives are different, the world is different. People tell Chuck Norris jokes in private server Barrens chat because that's all they remember. They don't want a new experience. They want the old one, not simply in content but in totality. They want to be 14 and carefree again.

You can't go home again.

More looking forward to Stratholme and Blackrock Spire. Those were really comfy.
Also some BG's.

BWL won't be out for months and leafs and eye of divinities are very common drop from the Majordomo boss.

>Classic: people talk and are friendly / bantz
>retail: everyone has aspergers and never speaks

i want reddit to leave, there was literally nothing wrong with Trial of the Crusader

ghostcrawler was ruining the game before it was cool, i can't even count all the systems he fucked up

>fighting waves of enemies is fun

>remember the raid that should have been bigger than northrend itself? well heres this 2 room raid :D
nothing wrong, you right

I never even played classic and I can tell that guy is a 10iq gamelet underperformer.
