You know, I find it funny that people say it's "just nostalgia" and that we won't enjoy it coming back to the game. When has anyone gone back and played Ocarina of Time, Doom, SM64, or any great old game and people have shit on them and said "IT WONT BE THE SAME YOU WONT HAVE FUN AGAIN!" Fucking nobody that's who. The game wasn't enjoyable just cause you were young. The game was enjoyable because it's a good ass game. I only got to lvl 52 before BC dropped originally but I had a ton of fun. I only got to lvl 27 on Nostalrius but I honestly had even more fun there then I did when I first played. And I'm going to have even more fun playing Classic.

It's actual nonsense to think that nostalgia clouds your judgment and that the game is just magically going to not be fun again when it's been proven time and time again with like every other good old game that people love to go back and play it and still enjoy it.

a 24 hour ban? i dont believe that shit for a second. GMs couldnt give less of a shit if you were getting ganked. it was just part of the game

I think the main difference is that there's this defensiveness about the current state of wow. People playing retail wow are invested deep, and if classic is a success, it means that clearly something went wrong along the way. It would be admitting that the game isn't objectively superior, and it might even end up harming the future development of it.
This is why Blizzard themselves were hesitant to admit that vanilla had merit, because again it would be admitting that they fucked up.

nah got banned for harrasment

Nothing that special and I barely remember the full details, but it was a really nostalgic week for me

idk why this shit was just maximum comfy for some reason

Your argument is flawed, user. Zelda/Doom/Mario are single player experiences. They ARE the same every time because it's just a game, everything is the same every time.

What made WoW special growing up wasn't the "enjoyable good ass game" it was that you were experiencing it with other people for the first time.

Key fucking word: FOR THE FIRST TIME. You already know all the strats, you already know all about WoW classic that there is to know, and even if YOU do not know, OTHERS do. This isn't fucking around with a group of level 11s in westfall for the first time, it's a calculated grind of trying to get to level cap with other players that already know where to go and what to do and there is no sense of "that wonder" that you had as a kid.

This is 100% percent pure nostalgia goggles and you'll see for yourself when it hits you a few days after playing it

na

Are you telling me that if I went back and played, say, F.E.A.R. multiplayer again, it wouldn't be fun? Because I've got bad news for you.

Because nobody plays Diablo 2 anymore right

They should add qol like re spawning in the dungeon, wide loot on mobs, dungeon finder should be like a channel so people don't have to spam /1 , etc.

Vanilla is fucking awesome though, doesn't matter if they dont i just think they would be nice and they are not intrusive to the gameplay.

>let's compare an FPS shooter multiplayer experience to an MMORPG grind experience

What next? HALO 2 multiplayer?

You mean that single player game with a tacked on MP that you can get to level cap in 2 hours of proper grinding? yeah I bet people play it. People play Pokemon, too.

lmao not even close. every single game on the market out there is like this. everyone knows everything about every game due to how quick people are to get information out and the youtube/monetization system. even back then, outside of the earliest period of vanilla, there was already so much information online about the game. just go to thottbot and you can figure out how to do any quest, what the loot table is for every dungeon and boss, how to beat every boss, etc.

sure people have tried to optimize the experience more since then, but you're actually retarded if you think people really didnt know that much back then.

hell, even now there are almost as many people playing on random private servers for the old game as there are on the actual retail blizzard servers for the current game. i cant even imagine how hard retailers are going to have to try to cope once classic comes out and dwarfs retails numbers of active players.

Are there any "niche" viable specs? Both PvP and PvE.

oh look more people coming in to needlessly shit on classic.

could it be because they're retail players who are just trying to cope with the realization that their 15 years of work on their characters is all for naught since the game is utter shit now?

could it be others who have grown cynical with the game industry as a whole and due to their own shitty lives just project onto everyone else who are trying to have fun with the games they enjoy?

could it be someone who's own beloved game will never get a rework and it's never coming back so out of envy and bitterness they can't help but shit on others games?

whatever group you belong to, i feel sorry for you. let go of that coping, bitterness, and sadness, and move onto greener pastures anons.

in other news: virgin reminds everyone why he is a loser nobody wants to be anywhere near.

The gold price was put in vanilla to balance out the economy and have a big end game gold sink.

The talent system was ripped straight from Diablo 2 which had no respecs and it was fine. I wish they had kept that. But imagine the tears from the "Quality of my life" crowd.

I had more fun goofing around with some warrior-esque dude in Duskwood as we curbstomped wouldbe gankers in Ascension than I did in my 4 months back to playing BFA. Grouping up with randos and wandering around has always been a blessing.

Played on a Wotlk server with 3 irl friends and we had a blast.
The last time I played Wotlk was when I was something like 12 (I'm 21 now), so I there were alot of things I didn't remember about how the game was then, and despite that I was the most knowlegeable of the 4 of us (I assumed the guy who convinced us to play would know as much or more, but apparently he had next to no experience with it)

We stopped playing eventually though, since we could never get the 4 of us available simultaneously, and we didn't want to play in groups of 1-3 since then whoever wasn't playing would fall behind

I occasionally dip back into it to do a couple quests, or even just run around and explore on a different character then log-out

Basically, the 2 main benefits of WoW are getting to play it with either people you know or former strangers, and the large amount of content available
And raids I guess. Raids aren't really a thing that exist outside MMOs.

doesnt the classic patch limit one hot per druid? Druids fucked.

>WOTLK came out 11 years ago
>21-12=9
>Cata came out in 2010

Fucking zoomers

not one hot per druid. it was one specific spell at a time for any druid, so like you could have regrowth and rejuv on you at the same time, but another druid cant put those same hots on you. it sounds stupid, but considering there are usually only 2 or 3 druids needing to hot 38 or 37 other people in the raid it never becomes a problem. If BC was any indication, this system probably should have been kept to some degree because once BC came out everyone just stacked druids and they made every other healer look like a joke even worse than priests and pallys made druids look in vanilla.

You can but not on pvp servers iirc

Nothing will change. Maybe some people will play both retail and current wow but I know many people who aren't willing to part with Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Monk class, races etc. So they will play periodically but eventually it will die off or have very little population.
I will honestly be surprised if it manages to not die off completely in a year or something.

so how are those mount and transmog runs treating you? you get your invincible yet that actually means nothing cause everyone else has also been farming it for the past 8 years and it'll inevitably just end up in our mount storage like the other 500 mounts you've wasted time farming?

even worse is the fact that you think retail players will be a big part of the people who play classic. the vast majority of classic will be people who havent touched the abomination that is retail in the past 6-10 years. retail players will pop over, get frustrated that they have to do anything that challenges them in the slightest, and go back to being coddled in retail.

The fanbases are completely different now. Retail is such a different game that anyone invested into it would never touch classic.

pick one

I leveled a night elf hemo spec rogue in vanilla, who only used daggers. My main method of grinding was running dungeons because I didnt like solo questing when I was a little kid. I also would do random roleplay actions while the healer would drink in between pulls.

I still got invites...

You are wrong about that as I like both of them for different reasons and many retailfags are also willing to play the game. People who spam these threads on Yea Forums have absolutely no idea what they're on about.

for me the fun is in figuring out the best way to kill other players and fighting over resource nodes or grind spots out in the world.

The leveling is only fun otherwise if you enjoy figuring out how to maximize efficiency or reading the quest text.

honestly i think theres a lot of potential for internet communities, but we're all constantly censored by our SJW leftist overlords who ban 95% of human speech and make us use double plus good language

Yeah, I would join SSC pugs and we would spend 20 minutes to down each boss because all our dps were clad in questing greens.

hunters don't scale well with gear but early pve raids they're quite good, so very suitable for your situation.
high end dps in MC but low end in AQ. great base, shit scaling.
from what i can tell it's pretty much what you're looking for. tipsout on youtube has damage meters for pve specs in various dungeons and explains them if you give a fuck, but that's the tl;dr right here.
this way you won't have to respec heals/make a new set to raid.

Guilds stacked with warriors and rogues clearing everything absurdly fast smashing through all your ideas of classic being balanced. These are dark times.

MMOs are a genre based on 1 and only 1 thing:
Make you waste as much time online as humanly possible and bait you into as many micro transactions as possible normally for cosmetics or “ways to avoid the grind”.

Can any guild leaders give some advice on how to run a guild? What are the most important things/traits you need to have?

Mostly you need trustworthy officers

Ah yes Asmongoloid the ultra casual who can’t even 90% parse or down mythic consistently!
And hoped for classic because he just had to grind instead of getting good!
Then he realized he’d be awful at that too? That asmongoloid?

Help me out, Yea Forums.
I've played on private servers as a shaman and had a great time, but also go engineering/mining because i can't live without engineering and need mining to help out.
Would i miss mining too much if i drop it for something else? And if so, what?
Herbing seems like an easier moneymaker as mining comes down to arcane crystal lottery, and even if i find a warrior to dm:e jumps with me they never want to farm as much as i do and i need fucking consumes.
Maybe mining until i have all my gadgets made, then fuck off and get herbing? or is that retarded? I know in the past i've been jealous of the money herbalists make and have suffered through paying out the ass for mageblood mats or something.
I know herb/alch is probably best pure money profs combined but i cant drop engineering, period. I crutch on it too hard.

More like it.

Here, I will spell it out for you: why play a HYBRID class that is not good at any role? (Yes, they can heal in cloth but the whole "holy knight" image is a trap.)

So why does warrior get to be the best tank and best dps class (depending on gear)?

>I'm also going mining / engineering because all those toys make the game much more fun.
oh yeah, engineering is amazing. The downside is you're locked into it since you can't use 90% of the fun when you aren't an engineer.
My problem is historically i haven't been great at making gold from mining other than arcane crystals from dm:east. Maybe that's due to overpopulated servers, maybe i just suck. And if dm:e method still works for classic in phase 2 maybe that's my best option, but i hate relying on some other dude's schedule/willingness.

unless you REALLY want engineering trinkets while youre leveling, i would do herb+skinning and then drop whichever for engineering at 60

first thing first: farm your epic mount

Why do white men get to be the most skilled, intellectual and powerful entities in the universe?

Well while leveling it's not really the trinkets, i normally rush to at least iron grenades as that's relatively easy and helps me a lot in wpvp while leveling.
Not to argue since I appreciate the advice, but i'm going mining/engineering to start for sure. My question is if it would be more beneficial to drop mining after or not.

Going 1-60 with engr/mining is already pretty retarded since you can just wait until the server stabilizes a bit, then you can buy mats for 300 engineering pretty easily.

Youre just making it harder on yourself for no reason

whoa dude lay off the antigoblinism.

Idk if this is the thread for that sort of question, friend

It is.
Wow classic is the last stand of white pride and admission white men are superior to diversity quotas.

But what about that human x femnelf interbreeding that's so popular

Like I said, I like the engineering for pvp while leveling. It could be retarded but it's how I've done it before. My question isn't that I can't make gold - i've leveled twice like this and had plenty for epic mount and consumes, but it becomes a chore and i rely too hard on dm:e jumps. I'm curious about if herbing is that much better.
The leveling engineering part isn't hard, with or without mining. That is not my question.
Maybe you play on pve servers but i use engineering basically every fight because I am a shitter.

The question is: Drop mining for
I know you're being helpful but not interested in your basic leveling advice as I know that already, besides I could literally just fish and make more than vendoring skins would ever be with the trade being hating myself.

afaik shamans dont need anything specific so really its just up to you. maybe herb for black lotus farming? with ghost wolf and shock spells you'll have an easier time than a lot of people. alchemy for transmute.

its up to you

do you.
mattering what class you pick ud just as good

paladin is the ideal class for me but I played horde since 2005. what do?

i wouldnt level a paladin unless you have a friend with you. theyre miserable to solo level

but best pvp healer, bru. the horde has nothing like it

undead is really good for pvp. redditors act like stun resist is the end all be all pvp when its not. it doesnt "hard counter rogues" because pvp spec rogues who aren't retards are going to be sub daggers and rape your booty hole with ambush and backstab crits

meanwhile WOTF does straight up hard country spriests and locks

Not that guy and undead is good for pvp but your logic is retarded
Vs rogues you basically always stunlock, even in dagger spec, or you get gouged and counteropened on

Northdale has already said theyre shutting down afte Blizz launches classic. I imagine Blizz will be more aggressive with their c&d's after classic launches as well.

Good rogues dont open with stun lock in wpvp.

Good thing no one cares what about what you think is good game design

Roll another class if it bothers you so much

I'm thinking about going with Mining + Skinning only whilst'd've levelling, and then dropping both at 60 to start levelling up Engi with the mats that i saved. Will this work? I figure it can also make me some cash to fund my extra bank slots and bags.

>gender/race/class combo not listed

>ench at launch with no crafting prof to funnel greens
Good idea if you don't want to be able to afford a mount. If you're picking skinning, you might as well pick LW at the same time since skins aren't worth anything especially at launch, so you might as well put them to use. There are several decent pieces of gear that you can craft, and while you can technically rely on other people to craft them, this can be a bit bothersome at launch if you're leveling fast. And if you level fast, you can rip people off with devilsaur gear.

Smoking Heart of the Mountain. Bis for bears. Your other bis trinket is Mark of Tyranny, which you get from a UBRS quest. There's nothing, even in naxx, to replace them.

Affording a mount at level 40 is going to be easy as fuck if you spend just a couple hours at some point in the 1-40 grinding certain mobs

While leveling Enchanting/Engineering?

You are absolute cracked m8

Enchanting drains a ton of money. A lot of your money while leveling comes from vendoring your greens. Quest rewards, your old gear, random drops. A single weapon from ~35 level quest can get you almost 1g. Suddenly instead of getting a steady flow of money from those, you're turning them into dust and getting absolutely nothing.

If you are leveling engineering while you're 1-40 you're just plain mentally retarded.

I'm so sad the Goblin Land Mine only lasts for 1 minute. It should last for for 10 minutes so you can set it up for an ambush. 1 minute isn't enough, it disappears before you can lure people onto it.

This. I did this on my first character without mining. Shit was not fun.

>If you are leveling engineering while you're 1-40 you're just plain mentally retarded.
Why?

pvp isnt the same if you dont have the deathray

i dont know why i keep coming to these threads when its obvious no one here ever touched vanilla.
>Enchanting drains a ton of money
yeah? so does engineering? enchanting doesnt even get expensive until like 150 and by that point you should already have a plan for your gear from 20, 30, 40. 95% of the gear drops youre getting are instant dis enchants.

because you dont get anything good until 225+ which requires being level 40+
why are you even pvping at 1-40 this is fucking stupid you cant even make the deathray until 40+ DID ANYONE HERE PLAY VANILLA

>DID ANYONE HERE PLAY VANILLA

Attached: 1539558841708.png (169x241, 117K)

Not that guy but
The expensive part is not being able to sell all green/blues but having to disenchant them instead, which makes it hard to save up for mount/skills etc

Don't take out your idiocy on others.

Enchanting robs you of all your vendor greens. The greens you get from desolace quests, for example, nets you about 7g total. Add in the random drops and you're probably looking at around 10g. Now repeat that for all that zones you're doing. Suddenly you're 50g poorer than you'd normally be at 40.

You missed the point of the game

This game was literally the peak of fantasy games. But after replaying on an offline server, I realized that all the hype for WoW was just being young and always thinking about this intro
youtube.com/watch?v=vlVSJ0AvZe0

The intro defined WoW for me and that intro is also the reason why I played night elf. I didn't really cared about the grind, because the music and surround was beautiful enough that I enjoyed playing the game, always thinking about the intro.

I'm not SwoleBenji just cause I talk about him doesn't mean we're the same person he's the only one posting WoW content on these threads and I look forward to seeing his farming techniques.

Most of my Vanilla experiences were pretty meh, even though it was the best game I've ever played. Unfortunately, I was emotionally stunted at that time and fucked up a few times. This carried on to TBC, so I missed out on the best era even though I was there and played the game every chance I had.

Biggest one was getting kicked out of a raiding guild two-three days in. Another that I distinctly remember was getting into a paid MC run to get something for 100g. I was so scared, when I heard Lightbringer Belt dropped, I took it for those 100g just to not have to raid with this guild (which was one of the best on the server, The Flaming Ruby on Argent Dawn EU). I ended up writing a quasi-RP letter to the guild master thanking him for the opportunity.

One of the reasons I'm looking forward to Classic is to set things right and see all the content I missed out. Played on two private servers but on K2 my guild fell apart and I didn't bother with Ely due to corruption and difficulty of being yet another Ally rogue, even though I put out really respectable DPS.

I really do wonder why people still play the current retail WoW compared to other mmo's. There's so little passion and so much blatantly obvious greed involved. They barely even listen to the fans anymore.

Meanwhile you got FFXIV where even the events change every year to be different instead of the same stagnant crap and ESO that plays like an actual RPG.

Heck, FFXIV even has that "adventure" experience, that good feeling you used to when you grow gradually through the levels and get things like your first chocobo mount or etc. With way more social content that you can do with your FC/buddies and a way more interesting and complex class system and gameplay, WoW just feels ancient in comparison and dead-simple.

how easy is it to aoe farm on a mage and make bank? i'm terrible and making money and am fucking clueless as to how I will make enough for riding

Too bad I’m not 20 anymore. I ain’t got time for Classic WoW, lads.

They are also said to have been created in C'thun's image which makes it all even more confusing.

I started playing WoW a month after it launched. I played until Cata.
IMO, it started going downhill in BC when you split the community. They completely seperated the player base by adding a new zone when instead, they should have added zones to the existing worlds.
In WoW, you absolutely have to run into higher levels. BC took that away.
But since the game was so damn good to begin with, it still climbed in numbers.

I started playing again on a private server to get the hang of it again.
Still love it as much as I did then. The nostalgia argument is dumb.

Pretty easy in DM East, but that won't be out at launch. AoE grinding to level is a trap though because of how many people are going to be leveling.

Warlocks are fine DPS and are needed in MC for banish. They sometimes have trouble finding 5-man groups because they don't bring Polymorph.

i wish i didnt have time for classic. i'd like a wife and kids. but every grill i go out on dates with has tons of baggage and basically hate small children.

i mean i guess theres like 29 year olds who got pumped and dumped by chads but i'd rather just be single forever than slurp up chads leftovers

>warlock: "dont worry guys i can CC one of the mobs"

What's the appeal of this Asmon faggot? I watched one of his videos and he looks like he barely survived stillbirth. He's not even funny.

So basically your standards are basically virgin Saint Mary.

it'd be cool if they stamped a release date before "classic summer" being may and all

He goes on a long tirades of thousand words with zero meaning and that somehow appeals to imbeciles in chat consisting mostly of unironical gamersriseup dipshit incels. Basically he talks a lot and in their small brains it makes him sound smart, sort of same appeal jordan peterson has. Dumbfuck virgins flock to them like fireflies to a fire and worship the fuck out of their idols.

I want a big happy family and want a wife who wants the same . Crazy , I know

skinning seems like a no brainer but what should I get for my second leveling skill?
mining seems more consistent than herbalism to me but I'm not sure

what happened did she not expect a tiny dick or something?

Wrathbabbie here. Were herbalism/alchemy or tailoring/enchanting viable combos back in vanilla?

Yes

Cool, thank you.

I don't think tailoring/enchanting earned you much unless you got a rare recipie

Was in a uk cod2 clan when wow first dropped and we all vowed never to get into that flower picking game which is like a drug, fast forward 3 months and the clan leader tried it out then we all followed suit and had a fucking blast! Will never forget us all making our characters and giving them Mexican names, because why not? And that first time going to STV and being in awe of the sheer size of the place and spending weeks going through the quest line and having battles with the horde! Damn I miss them days! But it won’t be the same for me as I won’t have the chance to play a game with my old clan bros

tailoring is mandatory for casters

okay and? just because you're a low iq failure incapable of finding someone with compatible morals and values, doesnt mean everyone else is the same.

At least I've had sex. Turns out I hate it.

BC was the best. Vanilla sucks in comparison.

She was very manipulative and abusive and did everything in her power to keep me from leaving her. But thanks for the victim blaming though.

Yeah that can work although you will only be making money with skinning plus mining like herbalism is hard to get at launch since everyone else is grabbing them as well

>The last boss in a 2 boss raid is massively overtuned compared to the first one which nearly every single progress killed has already killed
>So overturned that blizzard has had to patch it in the last few days because some phase overlaps make it literally impossible

Every single fucking raid since MoP has sceen the mythic guilds steamroll the entire thing in under a day, only getting stuck on a middle boss because it's either actually difficult or overtuned (gorefiend in HFC, Fetid in Uldir, etc.), up to the last boss which then takes up 99% of the overall time they'll spend in that raid because nu-blizzard thing good end-boss design is to make it near impossible to do, and then patch it later on to make it fair. The only time this wasn't the case in recent memory was Emerald nightmare and thats because the entire raid was undertuned because blizzard didn't bother to test how powerful the players would be with their max AP artifacts and BiS legendaries that the world first guilds saw mandatory to have.

I'm not saying C'thun being mathematically impossible to kill was any better but atleast in vanilla most bosses posed an equal challenge rather than almost being like trash before you get to the last boss.

then after a week of moping I advertised my services as a geared tank, and a guild instantly picked me up and treated me like a god, and I never farmed anything ever again, just raidlogged and collected my loot

the end

this is so wrong and it was prove in the WF BFD race. The guild that that cleared it 1st (and 2nd) were lower ilvl on average than the groups competing with them.

The reaction times needed these days for mythic raiding is a totally different beast than what was needed in vanilla. I don't want to quote a streamer or anything but Asmongold said it best. His mom could clear every raid in vanilla (besides Naxx because she didn't play at the end there) but she can't do one raid in Legion without dying. The game was just much slower paced. Look at any world first kill video of vanilla. You will see that almost every PoV there are people clicking some of their spells. That shit would not fly today.

Vanilla raiding itself isn't hard. The hard part of it is the grind outside the raids to get your millions of consumables and world buffs.

All ERPers (trannies) will stick to retail and their slutmogs. The only RPers that will play classic are the ones who enjoy wpvp and military RP in general. WHY Activision, why?

raid mechanics were simpler because the actual game mechanics were more nuanced and complicated. threat, mana efficiency, raid composition, and party grouping were all super important in vanilla. blizzard's attempts to streamline these aspects ended up with them just completely removing nearly all of them, and so the only way they could keep players engaged with wow's extremely simplistic gameplay is by making gimmicky raid encounters. i'm not defending tank and spanks, but the reason that the raid encounters were so much easier in vanilla was because the game as a whole was harder.

I have a feeling Blizzard will fuck it up somehow so I'm extremely skeptical

this but unironically
>have to wait 2 more years until we MAYBE get tbc

I dunno man I'm a slutmogfag and I'm gonna be rolling on RPPVP because it also happens to be pre-BiS for my spec.

Ah yes because MC consisted of you teleporting to rag and everyone doing everything perfectly.
Vanilla and TBC raids were designed for the whole thing to be a challenge rather. Trash posed an actual threat and so did each boss, compared to modern raids in which the trash may as well not exist and only the last boss matters.
Also, intricate boss mechanics =/= difficult. Argus' orb juggling and death stuff was piss easy, while 40 drakonids bum rushing you on Nefarian was a challenge.

This looks boring. Good thing PvP is the real end game.

user, there won't be any Rppvp servers at launch

It's pointless to say "if there are RPPVP servers at launch" because I won't be rolling at all if there aren't. Post launch would be way, way too late and all the guilds and communities would already be split and founded on RP servers.

tbc's only problem was moving groups around in combat + bloodlust, no idea why blizzard went full retard and made EVERYTHING raid wide in wotlk

as someone who actually killed all but one raid boss in vanilla, this is very true.

smug shit you realize all of the pservers and UNDERTUNED, right? when vanilla hits people are gonna be turning heads for weeks, maybe even months. you just dont remember how hard it was, dude. just go back to retail.

I want a profession that lets me share stuff and help out guildies while also being able to rake in a decent profit on the side.
Which is more lucrative between enchanting and alchemy? I imagine the former is more expensive/time consuming to level.

>alpha client was datamined
>the armor values are actually OVERTUNED on private servers

Also did you know that private servers are made HARDER because the game was so easy? Please take a look at this video and educated yourself retard.

youtube.com/watch?v=Eap0_cCQlqo

You're beyond the brainlet status of a frogposter in the year of our lord 2017+5-3.
The core of the game was completely different. Resistances mattered, aggro worked different, dps could go oom, raid comp actually mattered, and so on. Thats what made the raids hard, because the game overall was harder and more nuanced.

>inb4 the retard doesn't watch this video

Haptix was an actual vanilla player and plays private servers religiously as well as has chats with Nostalrius devs on the podcasts. The truth is Nost was made harder just so guilds don't clear all the content as fast.

People enjoying private servers so much just absolutely shits on the rose-tinted glasses argument.

>taking the bait

Why do you keep trying to push this meme of armor values being something you can find from the client?

desu im pretty worried endgame raids are gonna be too easy and steamrolled. really hope im wrong

based

literally the first guild that can zone into the raid will be the one that clears it

enchanting is more time consuming both to level and make profit from. you will need to farm every rare recipe in the game in order to keep a regular client base since most people get all their enchants at once, so if you're missing an enchant they need they'll likely just find another enchanter. also you will have to manage your clients manually via trade chat and advertising since you won't make any real money just by throwing stuff up on the AH.

alchemy is arguably not as lucrative, but is much easier to manage. you'll still need to farm recipes, but you can always just pick one type of potion/flask, farm for those mats, and throw them up on the AH and wait. lots more freedom to decide how you want to make your money imo. also transmutes are literally just free money on a cooldown.

that easy, huh? how competivite is it gonna be for loot then, if everything is cleared so easily wont that mean everyone will have everything real soon? wont that kill the longevity of the game?

>speedrunning
ah the trannies have arrived

well the first guild with pre-bis raid gear will. if they are organized and already know who they will funnel gear too and what dungeon groups are going to run on repeat to get gear etc.

there will be some organizing involved but those guilds will figure it out. once they are ready it won't be a "race" on the boss itself like we see today. It will be a race to see who gets the gear first.

basically classic wow is going to be something like a speedrunner game.

i fail to see the correlation between trannies and speedrunning?

>first mmo

fuck you this is not true

He's obsessed with dicks just ignore him

Why do you even care. The raids won't actually be made easier - you'll just think they are because if you were farming MC in vanilla, it's technically like someone put a pause on that and 15 years later unpaused it.

only incels are obsessed with a game to the point that they do "speedruns". and incels always end up being trannies.

>star wars galaxies is gone forever
Well it is and it isn't.
the main swgemu project is still going strong, just very slowly. They are creeping up on finally having jump to lightspeed, however, and after that they'll close the beta server and open suncrusher - and other servers will use their work as well.
So as far as private servers, we'll have a ton to choose from for SWG. That of course has its own issues, similar to WoW pservers, but it's more than "gone forever".
The current large beta server, basilisk, is good but also botted to hell and back, very top heavy with everyone having multiple characters and being self sufficient in galaxies kind of ruins other aspects of the game pretty hard. BUT the future isn't looking bad, and there are a handful of other servers that are non shit as well (just low pop).

More related to what I think your point is, I'd give my left nut for an updated SWG2. Or even an official relaunch. But both of those things are fantasies as everyone involved has long moved on and I believe it would fall under EA as they still have the star wars contract. Which would be mmorpg poison and have as much to do with old galaxies as current swtor does, which is to say pretty much 0% from a gameplay/mechanics standpoint even before making shitty themepark vs sandbox comparisons.

Based. I'm in the same situation. I'd rather go shaman but if my RL friends prefer alliance i don't mind that, I'll just try to make us all go dwarf as a compromise.
I can't even imagine being alliance and not being a dorf, makes no fucking sense. Who the fuck wants to be a druid or a stupid wizard anyhow.

Well if you never did a raid back in classic i can promise you that even if everyone else knows what they are doing, you'll still enjoy it because a lot of it comes down to your own effort.

at least city of heroes is back, though i haven't got in yet because the queues

Shaman would be my first choice as well but as long as I still get play a class that can toss out heals and buffs to help out my bros its alright.

>Anyone else got stories like this?
kind of but not strictly related.
Had a real life buddy who insisted on always playing female characters, and when called out on it he would use the typical "lol like i want to stare at man ass all night while i grind lmao" excuse, he wouldn't even shift through the other excuses/reasons like "i like their animations" or "i think shes hot". Just went straight to outright denial.
He would constantly try to tell people he was female in real life, and back then it wasn't uncommon to never use teamspeak/mic so far too many people fell for it. Another friend of mine once stepped in after some 40 year old dude a few states away bought our e-gurl friend hand of edward the odd for like 500g or something, letting him know he was being scammed, and the 40 year old literally stopped playing that character altogether or even quit (i don't remember exactly but know he vanished).

Anyhow, since this is Yea Forums this part won't be a shock, but flash forward to 2019 and the dude is still my friend but he now lives as a woman. He came out first as gay like 5 years ago and "Trans" a little after that. Not judging him but i do find it particularly funny since that same type of behavior is so prevalent in /vg/ vanilla private server guilds (i'd imagine other xpacs too but no personal experience with it) and I always assume i'm witnessing the prelude to coming out in real time.

This still happens to me on private servers when I play a girl. I'd play a guy instead but male nelves are ugly as fuck (if they aren't in full armor)

Fuck yes I did. Funny thing, I was playing a male character, but one day decided that I was going to enter a guild and tell everybody I was a girl.

I can't even begin to describe the amount of favours and items I received, even at low level. There was this guy that would clear whole dungeons for me, multiple times. I remember him asking if he could add me on MSN, and I blatantly lied to him tell him I didn't have one.

Poor guy, it makes me sad a little today if I think about it.

this

it's worth looking like shit in cloth and having inferior animations just to be spared this sort of thing happening, because it still does somehow

Yep, shaman or paladin for me as well. I like being a support class and i feel like both of those classes can contribute so much to a group, especially in pvp. I don't mind healing, it's just another part of your toolkit as cliche as that sounds.
Orcs are my favorite followed by dwarves, can't really get into the other races but i don't mind trolls.

There is literally NOTHING wrong with taking advantage of beta orbiters.

I never had the chance to get into WoW as a kid because we couldn't afford a computer to run it.

I'm thinking Tauren if I end up going Horde.
They look cool in shaman gear and I like war stomp.

Real talk:
Where the fuck is the launch date announcement? I know it's fucking dorky but i'd love to be able to no-life a week or two and have fun with old friends, but i need to indicate i want the time off NOW.
What the fuck is the hold up?

yeah warstomp is great! I prefer the stun resist but warstomp is still really good, especially considering shamans have no stuns.

Draenei Paladin is really cool until you get out of your starting zone and into other Alliance zones and every NPC just treats you like human adventurer #4863.

I mean, I know I have to suspend my disbelief, but they are just one of those races that have no place in the world and the average Stormwind commoner would probably spit out his drink if one walked into the tavern.

>no one's ever really gone

The new game is garbage, don’t even touch it.
Now is absolutely the best time to get into it, since Classic is essentially one big reset button. Just educate yourself on how classes/races work without spoiling yourself too much and you’re good to go.
You have no idea how many people want to be in your shoes right now. Make the most of it.

I didn't get too far on Classic. I got my Shamanlevel 56 or something before BC came out. Still got to heal for AQ20 once, as crazy as that sounds.

But since I played on my father's account and he had a really well-equipped hunter. That was crazy fun. Scatter shot + Aimed shot + Multishot + Autoshot often meant insta-death for blue people.

Then I got my own account at the start of BC, my father and I stood in a queue at midnight waiting for the game to be released in a store and I had what was definitely the most fun I ever had in gaming, raiding with him, I even have nostalgia for the weeks of wiping at moroes and the curator because the shitty retard boomerguild (full of nice people, though) we were in sucked.

I miss you, dad.

Yeah, I imagine orc and troll racials are generally better but I like having an on-demand stun.
Will be really nice if I get to do any PvP as enhance too.

This STILL happens on retail.
All through legion I was an undead human mage and was treated like a normal player which by retail standards means no one socialises and you may as well be surrounded by bots.
Then, Nightborne come out, I grind one to 110 for the heritage armour and then racechange my undead mage to a female nightborne mage. INSTANTLY people in dungeons and so on are talking to me, even if it's only basic human interactions.
I joined some casual guild, never brought my gender up but because my character's name was vaguely female sounding everyone was overly nice to me. It didn't properly kick off though until I joined their discord with a anime female as my pfp. Said I didn't have a mic and was too shy to join VC, and it was like I'd opened some sort of floodgate of orbiters. Got loads of free stuff and help like I wanted but fucking hell the stuff guys say to girls in private when thy've conviced themselves they have a chance with them is seriously fucked.
I'd do it again in a hearbeat though. I was using gold to pay for sub for months before I quit just from farming betas.

ugh, it's not related but unfortunately ep8 made me very very uninterested in future star wars. I can't get over luke attempting to murder his nephew because he had a bad dream.

What race/class are you guys going?

I've only played Night Elf so I'm thinking I should try something from the Horde.

>Will be really nice if I get to do any PvP as enhance too.
it's a great racial for any spec.
But yeah the stun resist is generally considered better since resisting a stun can equal a won 1v1, but still warstomp is great. Troll racial is "best" for resto pve but it's so marginal that it doesn't matter.
Like you're saying, the pvp racial comes down to personal preference so no wrong answer.

Still undecided after thinking about it for months. Probably Orc Warlock, but I'd also like to try Warrior this time. And Druid. And Hunter.

goddamn. Why are guys so thirsty and cringy? It isn't like meeting females in real life (or even online) is difficult.
Is it the fantasy of meeting one in their video game? Or are people just lonely?

My first ever character was a nightelf and some of the fondest memories I have are of leveling in comfy teldrassil with it's owls and furgolgs, so I'm really tempted to go a nightelf.
However, I want to play warrior and mainly pvp so Dwarf for stoneform is mighty tempting.

You don't want Druid. Trust me.

Ep 8 killed starwars games, clothes, home / office, toys, /tg/ all in one fuckin swoop those sales died

I'm debating between Lock and rogue. Race and faction I'm still unsure. Leaning toward horde because Alliance is filled with tryhards. If Northdale is any indication, I'll get a lot of hate If I'm not a gnome.

Don't play druid unless you know you want to play druid. People say warrior is a struggle, but druid is the real struggle. There's such a stigma with the class you might have trouble finding groups just because you're a druid. God forbid you're not resto.

Gnome Warlock. Never played this class, the racials might come in handy in PvP even if my focus will be PvE. My other choice would be Hunter but I played a Goblin in Cata and it was... okay to fun. Definitely don't know the ins-and-outs of the class so I'll have harder time marketing myself, at least Warlocks are easier to raid and more in demand.

From the DM convos I had with them, it seems that they're pretty desperate for female interaction which they can't get IRL. The prospect of a girl that they can spend all their time playing wow with (which they do anyway) combined with also being nice to them sends them into a frenzy.

The saddest part was that it all seems to come down to exclusivity. You'd have guys literally stabbing eachother in the back if it meant i'd do stuff with them on their own rather than in a group with multiple people. I imagine thats to do with how insecure they must be and how every other human male is a potential threat.

>run around post-shattering azeroth
>don't miss classic

Have you even played vanilla?

>Warlock tanking Twin Emps
I really don't know why this strategy was ever used.
The strat where you just had another Warrior tanking Vek'lor (magic emp) by spamming shouts for threat and assigning all magical DPS to bug duty was a million times easier.

MMOs are filled with a bunch of beta faggots that have no experience with women. They think that women want you to be nice to them, but they just want you to treat them like a normal person.

Only reason I don't feel like playing druid is because I know I'll get forced into tanking in 5 mans since nobody wants a healer who can't res out of combat.
If I wanted to tank I'd play warrior.

You know it's now your duty to make a tauren shaman called Bigbuldik now, don't you?

It was used because the warlock took infinitesimal damage and took pressure off the healers, while also shortening the fight since you weren't wasting dps on bugs.

druids can res out of combat

Its ok, I'm going to show them the power of the big bear paws. I like to tank, and Kitty DPS isn't awful, but if you want maximum you gotta farm crap I guess.
Also gonna juke nerds in WSG with the flag all day.

They can, but it has a 10 minute cooldown. They didn't get a normal OOC rest until wotlk.

Reminder to make a female character in classic so you can take advantage of betas for free stuff by convincing them you're a girl AND put incels on suicide watch by stomping them in pvp and letting their own seething mind assume you are female.

If you're in a party with a warrior who doesn't have them and you ask for them (not being a warrior yourself) then you deserve to be kicked.

Warriors already has a set of 200+ Shadow Resist gear for Ebonroc, so he's mitigating all the damage just fine.
You didn't need to worry about threat because you just had to keep ahead of the healers, which you easily did just spamming Battle Shout.
You had to assign DPS to kill bugs in the Warlock tank strat too, so that's no different either.

Unless your raid was stupidly overstacked on magical DPS it was just easier.

>not reaping the benefits of a population of lonely men thinking you're female and that you might like them if they give you stuff

>snap
I forgot that meme existed

>MMOs are filled with a bunch of beta faggots that have no experience with women
it's honestly not exclusive to mmos, however, even tho that explanation is convenient and does sound good.
I could make a fake female in any chatroom in the universe and be spammed with direct messages. Or any discord server for any game/hobby/whatever. I've seen obvious men mentioning male things in theorycrafting discords (a meme all on its own, i assure you) that since they're using an anime girl avatar will have orbiters. And certainly a percentage of those orbiters realize they are talking to a man and don't care, but others honestly do not. Just by virtue of numbers alone you have to make that assumption.

I could offer more but it would be pure armchair psychology so my analysis is fairly worthless. Still very interesting if cringy.

Who said anything about rping? see and All you have to do is exist and their beta minds will assume the rest.

at least try to refute the fact that you're a tranny doing this because it makes you horny, my dude.

>Comfy mommy mode: Tauren

Every time.

And warlocks get 60 shadow res from talents, 15 from demon armor plus soul link. Literally no reason to use a warrior.

>being so obsessed with your alt personality in game that you cant make actual friends, resorting to flirting and pretending to be an e-girl, even going so far as to copy some thot's instagram pictures and create a fake persona for your discord whack off rooms
Honestly even beyond the pure cringe associated with that behavior, that shit would get so old so fast. And end up stressful. You wouldn't be able to play in peace and wouldn't have any lasting meaningful in-game relationships. You know, in the game best known for making fucking friends. But you can't, becasue you're fake, your "friends" are fake, and no one cares about you past the lewd things you type from your anime girl avatar and the pretend tit pics you send them.

At that point it's almost less cringy to be a sweaty pserver tryhard playing 20 hours a day with lisping euros. At least they have a definite purpose and aren't pretending.

happened to me once, albeit in wotlk.

race changed to a male ud a day later. it felt even more awkward than the typical "r u a gril" beta orbiter stories that i had gotten familiar with around then because i could tell it was actually a girl/woman by the way she typed.

Kind of reverse situation. Not a grill, but for some reason girls on retail were able to sniff me out like bloodhounds and would talk to me for no fucking reason whatsoever. Literally writing me as soon as I logged on and shit. I never used smileys or asked them about personal shit, nor shared much either.
I let one of them talk me into meeting up at some point and we dated for about a year. She was insane, a lifetime of neglect and depression, but a good fit body and a pretty face.
Anyway, I was in my late teens by the time we broke up and I convinced myself all these e-girls were fucked up based on the relationship I had. I just stopped replying to chicks when they wrote me.
Joke's on me in the end, because now I haven't had a girlfriend in 9 years.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So much for "Classic" WoW
Now we wait for the micro transactions announcement

Pretty sure my dumbass "fury tanked" in ST because I didn't know jackshit about mmos and when someone invited me as a warrior I thought I could just play as I had been. I honestly don't know how we made through that without them kicking me either. I didn't even have taunt on my bars which I clicked as I couldn't see what it even did as I only ever used it solo and thought it was broken. I don't think I learned what tanking was until BC when my guild mates had to explain it since I never made it 60 before BC and rarely if ever did dungeons. It'll be nice to understand the game now that I'm not 12 and retarded.

not him but you realize normal people don't orbit e-girls, right? Even on private servers it may seem common from the memes but the reality is only the cringiest of the cringy engage in that behavior.
I'm in a private server guild that has literally three biological females and no one orbits them.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen since of course it does, but 9 times out of 10 when the players are adults it doesn't mean fucking shit. The jokes about girl gamers and anything cringy get out of the way fast and after that no one gives a fuck, and the players that do give a fuck end up moving on. When you're playing this shit as an adult as a fun hobby and not being a horny teenager, orbiting or even flirting with some e-thot is absolutely more effort than you're willing to invest.

This doesn't mean your deceptive plan of faggotry won't work, but it certainly won't work to the extent you think it will, and especially in 2019 when people aren't going to jack it with you without seeing a fake social media of some sort or hearing your voice. And the people that DO jack it with you - newsflash: they know you're a guy.
