The Alliance didn't have a Barrens, and that's what made them different. Horde used the Barrens all the way up into the low 30s, but Alliance got to experience Westfall, Redridge, and Duskwood, with occasional raids into Horde territory like the Barrens up to and beyond 30.
Neither of them are objectively better, but they're all fundamentally different experiences, and are some of the myriad reasons why vanilla leveling is better than retail leveling.

Westfall is trash leveling and I always avoid it.
Alliance has no barrens.

Barrens is the most kino tho

Need DPS? No problem. Need a tank? I'm your girl. Need heals? I got you senpai. Need a support for your raid? I don't even have to apply to guilds they all beg me to join.

Plus I'm top-tier PVP, can farm anything easily, solo almost anything, and got a free portal at 10 and a free mini-mount at level 20 while you had to walk like a hobo everywhere for 40 levels.

Yes

I don't get this chart. Outside of Ulduar, wotlk was so fucking terrible. Zones were shit, lore was shit, warriors were shit in all specs pre-icc. Even Cata raiding was miles better outside of Dragon Soul, and the zones at least had some flavor to them except for ice, ice and some grey shit stained ice.

you mean you didn't love Wintergrasp?

westfall, i'd say
either that or redridge both sound comfy in my opinion
loch modan sounds great but too green to be a 'barrens'

TBC is a glorified vanilla DLC but had good PVE and some positive fixes, but at same time started the downfall of many things i'll just give one example flying mounts.
While wotlk gets credit on creative aspects such as atmosphere, villain, pvp (arena). Some really well crafted raids. Also it gets props for introducing a new class, but mind you this is why vanilla is untouchable, because it introduced 9 classes and the most beautifully crafted world that was to this day pure kino. Wotlk just like TBC ended the MMO of MMROPG and I dont blame people that hate it.

Both expansions started the beginning of the end. Yet tbc and wotlk were still playable, you dont have to like them, I dident but many needed it for the fix. Arthas was the end of WoW as we know it and most vanilla players if they did not end at start of tbc then they ended it in beginning of cata. Rating is final tho, troll gang already discussed it.

The worst thing about it is that some retards actually fall for it.

Not really a big deal since you still need to run there, and can still pick and choose what you want.

I said 70+ GS for BRD Emp run, AND NO MORE WARRIORS!!!

accurate

Vanilla had tons wrong with it though even if it had excellent world building. TBC improved massively on PVP, PVE and class design and balance. Also while flying mounts exists world pvp wasnt completely dead even if it wasn't the same as vanilla

Ironfoe and HoJ reserved*

imagine actually playing Alliance.

Not everyone wants to play the evil faction.

I hope the implication of this image is that WotLK was the beginning of the end.
the influences of their merger had begun to show themselves during this expansion.
BC is objectively the best expansion, Vanilla technically not an expansion.

Duskwood is my favourite zone in vanilla.
Feels like a little Gilneas and I love it.

I mean he isn't wrong user. PVP in vanilla is braindead and garbage

>WOTLK was fucking terrible

Not really. It was the death of Prince Arthas and the summation of everything that was true to WarCraft III and The Frozen Throne. The story ended there.

tbc KILLED world pvp and added arenas.
I wouldn't call that a massive improvement.

I would when the bg honor ranking system is horrible and rewards time invested over skill. Also most classes/specs aren't even functional in vanilla pvp

tbc was the beginning of the end, wotlk took that base and ran with it, see tbc and wotlk are tied because they both took part in destroying the game & at the same time had some good qualities.

I played on a dead ass server but still got world pvp during BC.
did you actually play the game?

Yeah resilience and tickling each other to death with with streamlined matchups is fun.

Yes I actually played the game retard.
What happened once you got your flying mount?

You're thinking of a few expansions down the track. There was still plenty of world pvp in TBC.

Did you never farm anything? Fuck most people in TBC were farming shit like primals

Just because you have the memory of a squirrel user doesn't mean you should lash at others

I still fought people you brainlet.
do you just fly around or do you fly to a location to attempt to complete a task?

you got ganked upon landing

did chuck norris punch mankirks wife? XD

I mean how bad were you? Most people who didn't enjoy pvp in TBC were shitters that never got higher than the 1500 rating they started at

It's almost like most people went to the same areas to farm or use the summoning portals for dungeons

most arena games were over in a matter of minutes, it's the later expansions that caused the 30+ minute arena matches when everyone has 10 million health

TBC was way slower than Lich King, the fuck are you talking about. Lifebloom bots could go on for entire 45 minutes without breaking a sweat.

>unironically liking arena
>wasn't just a minigame that you were forced to play to obtain the pvp gear
Yeah, much better then ranking by mixing up WSG, AB, AV and world pvp. Fuck man, I must be a shitter because I didn't like being forced into a small box of unbalanced matchups instead of 10v10's where each class had specific roles and varied playstyles.

Attached: 1555480449779.png (518x496, 155K)

It's the same thing, you just use a flight master to get as close as possible and then run a little bit on your mount to the destination. You only ran into lots of people traveling if you went out of your way to do this.

>run a little bit on your mount to the destination
>a little bit
guess you didn't actually play the game

>playing 2s

there's your problem

t. sub 2.3k scrub

This was only true in 2v2 and even then if you are competent at the game games would never last 45 mins as you would bait them and then setup kills with their CD's down and vise versa

God I wish female humans were real.

boring people

Maybe if you were running to SM as an alliance player or something. In most cases you could go between flight masters to get almost anywhere. Yes this means having to individually click each point of the travel

Compelling argument. Being able to gloat about a number on your rank = better pvp.

duelists are always so salty

>I-I d-didn't e-even want glad a-anyway! a-arena is shit!

It sure means a lot more than any pvp in vanilla. Also yes generally generally a higher rank in an mmr system shows you are a better player, that is kind of the point. Notice how the honor system in vanilla doesn't reflect this at all and instead is just a grind

I mean generally having a higher rank makes you a better player. That's kind of the point

wew this reminds me.
my server was so shit I would win every duel outside Org only wearing weapons and accessories, rings amulet trinkets.
only fully equipped gear to fight rogues.
>t. Warlock

I mean getting duelist still puts him with the top 3% of players. 2300 has also been Glad in some expansions. How many people in this thread do you honestly think can get to duelist let alone even getting to challenger

Reminder that classic wow is running 1.12 meaning we aren't even getting the good version of AV

It's actually really addicting if you play with friends who are competent.

so is overwatch and any fucking MOBA out there and those are horse shit

>unbalanced matchups
Arenas were 1000 times more balanced than X vs Y battleground
There were PvP gear for honor, noone forced you into arena.

>alliance winrate on AV

I mean vanilla is probably the most unbalanced pvp in the existence of the game. Most classes and specs don't even function like they are suppose to

>minigame players thinking their kid's play matters
Yikes..
Mythic raiding is by definition the only content in WoW that takes any ounce of skill, in PvP you just capitalize on other people's mistake whereas PvE has an objective static difficulty to overcome. Even rank 1 Gladiators get declined from joining guilds like because it's a meaningless achievement.

PvP is the only skill that matter, since you react to the situation and find way to win. PvE is always the same, I can write a bot that will perfectly raid just by following same shitty algorythm.

Imagine playing on a pve server

Attached: laughtering.jpg (600x536, 71K)

Scripted encounters don't make mistake, their difficulty is absolute, whereas the players you fight in PvP will make one eventually giving you the free win. It's not even worth calling a challenge.

pve carebears calling pvp a "minigame" is such a cuck zoomer thing to do.
you don't even know what Warcraft is.

listen here buddy my one button spec take a lot of fucking skill okay

*moves out of the fire*

Wew man that mythic boss sure was hard guys

PvE is easy and have been solved. PvP can't be "solved".

Good thing as you improve you fight harder opponents then. Punishing mistakes and baiting people into making mistakes is the core of any competitive game

PvP has been solved since it came into existence, CC the healer and nuke the DPS.

Yes their difficulty is absolute, where as humans are ever adapting. Imagine making mistakes against a scripted fucking boss when you have addons telling you exactly what to do in every situation. You're deluded.

I've done it bros, I've finally decided to play a druid!

For all the moaning about PVE and PVP in this thread I doubt many if any of you actually have played wow at the top level in either PVE or PVP

Humans have a skillcap far below the encounters of Mythic raids, hence why the PvP scene is completely dead as even PvPers realized this and moved on to better things.

Funny how Mythic raiders can step into arena and be unable to break 1500 rating. Fuck you have Grand Marshalls from vanilla who couldn't break 1700 in arena come TBC. It's almost like against better players baiting and punishing mistakes without making them yourself is skill intensive

>pvp
>solved
lmao

You know why it's dead? Because blizzard are FUCKING incompetent.
PvP at it's peak design had a skillcap that trumps any predictable pve encounter.

I think you mean retail is just dead. No one puts effort into the game anymore outside of a few at the top in both PVE and PVP

its tier 2 with some rank12 pieces mixed in, I dont know the optimal combination. you want 5 piece t2 for the pet buff, and I think that means you can squeeze in one of those nice fatty +Shadow Damage non set epics from MC or BWL.

Every PVP game gets solved though at a high level. The issue is not many people cant execute said answer or are unable to adapt to unknown situations

Good thing I reserved it.

PvP ain't PvEasy guys, remember when they put that arena fight in ToC and the PvE raiders flipped out upon realizing they had to do more than move out of the fire?

>pve shitters getting uppity
remember this thread when you're getting raped in BRM

You really can't stop yourself from saying the stupidest shit possible, can you?

It can be solved and it always is solved. The reason the meta changes is because class changes are rolled in or new gear sets come out. There is always optimal lines in any given meta

Gotta love theorycrafters who never actually fought on any competitive level.

I mean if this is the extent of your knowledge of arena pvp it explains quite a lot. This level of knowledge isn't getting you further than 1600 rating. If you are going to play a proactive comp you need to know how to approach every comp and that doesn't just mean 'CC the healer and nuke the DPS'

This tard sounds identical to that jammku guy from 4craft from like 2014.

M7 wow has always been community-driven. That is exactly why retail is in such a terrible place. The "community" aka "the parts of the community that are the loudest" always want it dumbed down and/or "balanced".

1. You see an enemy player and attack them. wow fucking ebin I've been playing this game long enough that this is no longer exciting at all.

2. An enemy player sees you and attacks. Fucking wow how fun I just want to play the game and some 12 year old streamer is being and edgelord

He didn't say they were bad. Tauren shaman players are normally just psychopathic assholes in pvp.

How can one list be so fucking based.

just RP that you're trying to create holy bombs to take back stratholme/epl with, easy

I forgot that the game has almost no relevant content and things start getting outdated before you even reach max level

You don't have to run the dungeon at that point (although I think I remember getting recruited by some desperate groups who really needed a healer when I was level 17). My first character was a night elf and I headed towards Westfall at level 15 to start the questlines which I remember had you running around from Redridge to Stormwind and back. Before they just put everything at the beginning of the instance.

What do you mean? For Classic you will only need subscription and will have to download the client off battle.net.

You don't need to buy anything to play classic once it releases, just subscribe for 15$/month to get pre/bfa+classic account on your battlenet

If you have your CD key you can contact blizzard support and have it added to your battle.net account.

Well it's not like you need friends to level a mage, so there's that.. I personally like mage utility better, but if you're going to be playing on alliance then you have pretty much guaranteed raid spots, so thats a plus.

I played on the Nostalrius server for a bit (Horde) and i saw so many undeads named something like "Vurtnee" or "Vurtnepro" or "Xvurtnex" so i had to google Vurtne to find out where that came from. It was almost like the archers named Legolas back when i played Mount&Blade

Yeah but I like having a npc pet to help me with leveling. Im autistic and Im able to do aoe pulls as a mage quite effeciently but I get severe anxiety running alone in some zones

It's vanilla, friend. You'll make some.

If you move TBC to A, then it's accurate
TBC had some top tier PvE endgame, which was then then ruined by Arena and Flying mounts

Dun Morogh or the wetlands

I remember people I leveled with over 14 years ago, no other game has managed to do this. Hell, I don't even remember people I've meet IRL last year.

I used that. Fucking nice having it trawl the chat for you so you don't need to keep your eyes peeled on a spam channel chat window.

Move BC to E and Pandaland up to a (plain) C and and I'd call it accurate. BC was hands down the worst expansion.Nothing in it was good, anything it added it took more away and made it fucking worse in every regard.

>it's garbage
no
>that barely anyone uses
that doesn't matter, it's literally just a chat trawler. Doesn't matter if it's just you, or the entire server using it. It still works the same, and just as well.

Are Succubus and Felhunter worth getting at 20 and 30 respectively when locks use Voidwalker to level?

Kek

>He doesn't know the secret Disc tank build

any video?

Worth in what sense? In a leveling sense no, and in a pvp sense not really either. Voidwalker sac is always better for pvp while leveling.

Wrath had literally the best zones of any expansion. Only ones that iffy is Storms Peak, and thats only because of how flight-centric it is.

It's additive.

Yeah, I'm asking if it's worth it to take time off leveling to do the quests. I played a Warlock in vanilla and I remember the quests taking a while.

Source?

It's not worth it. You only use felhunter and succ for pvp purposes, so getting them when you have your mount at lvl 60 is way more efficient since it's requires tons of traveling by foot.

You should get Succubus for CCing humanoids in dungeons. I'd kick you instantly if you didn't have it on level.

Paladin. He was a thinker but also a warrior.

Why are you complaining about stuns? Were you a rogue main? Play a real class then like Arms Warrior, you fuckin' pussy

The end of BC is when they introduced the improved skill tree and added Titan's Grip and Bladestorm. It was a fucking great time to be an arms warrior. Me and my two other arms buddies with second wind were unkillable. We used to just walk, not run, through Eye of the Storm like we owned the place.

This unironically would have been better. Gnomes and Trolls = vanity picks

In all honesty I really miss one-handed fury, single-minded fury was a fun time for awhile, but then they removed it. Nothin' was funnier than getting to roll on a piece of gear a rogue was nutting their pants over and stealing it from them.

Honestly replacing the Forsaken with the Trolls would've made 100s of times more sense.

Where the FUCK is the blue post blizzard
WHAT THE FUCK

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to utilize Slam. The timing of Slam is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics the typical player would net a DPS loss for each Slam used. There's also weapon speed, which combined with flurry makes up your swing timer - Lao Tzu speaks about this in his Use of the Feet in Other Schools and each Slam must be used with such inspiration. Slammers understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of Slam, to realize that they're not setting DPS records - they're creating the meta. As a consequence people who dislike Slam truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the 10ms delay before the Slam begun. But a true slammer is existential, and takes this pause in grace; before every Slam is a cryptic reference to Drek'Thars Peeling the Onion. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as I keep my 10% damage lead through execute phase. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Slam tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 50 dps of my own.

Anticipation isn't bad, you can get that instead of toughness. It's just that the T3 talents are too fucking good to consider passing up. You can get imp HS instead of deflection if you want to.

But seriously, unless you're going to be tanking in raids, just go for full arms or fury.

Friendly reminder that questing is the poopsocker minmax faggot way to level up.
The smart way is to collect rested xp and do dungeons, this way not only you get more xp/hour than the poopsockers, but you will also constantly be in full blue gear.

>over a week no blue post

Bros, is it dead?

The best way to level is questing, dungeons, grinding, fishing, picking fights you can't win, griefing lowbies, camping people until they call their guild, holidays, roleplay, exploring random shit that sounds neat, trying to go off the map, going into zones that are too high level for you, helping lowbies with dungeons, doing battlegrounds when your 10-12, doing battlegrounds when you're 7-9, sneaking into the enemy's city to do their dungeons and scare lowbies, picking meme talents, crafting everything you can, selling greens on the ah, making random alts you abandon at 8-20, trying to start shit in gen chat and running around cities aimlessly shitposting in trade chat.

What

Mortal Strike is situational at best. The other one is basically 1/3 a shadowguard. Not having devouring plague is dreadful, even if you do nothing but pve.

Brother

These retards are the reason why Vanilla shouldn't be a thing. I swear, by my life, that none of you is older than 25. I fucking swear it.

Honestly not expecting a release date until last minute. Classic can be more considered a large patch for WoW since it's just part of the regular sub with no extra purchase. They don't have to give retailers way advance so they'll just give a date when ever's good for them.

The smart way to play is autistically practicing 1-20 speedruns as an elf and guarding the entrance to stonetalon

Duskwood is my fucking jam,holy shit that music,that roming flesh golem that cozy town in the middle of undead hell. It was and will always be my favorite zone.

Devouring plague isn't situational, it's on a cooldown. Shadowguard is actually really neat but it's RNG as fuck.

I used that chat trawler and I'm 27. Guess I was 25 when I played on Elysium, though. Neat addon anyhow.

yeah i guess if you want to sit for 10 days between 2 hour play sessions to have the shortest /played time

Grinding is and will always be the fastest way to level.

easy, just make multiple characters if you spend the rested xp too fast

nah fuck flying man. redesign blades edge mountains a bit, give teleporters to get up to those dungeons and raids (gruuls, everything in netherstorm) and make people stay on foot. world building is a huge part of what made vanilla great and you pretty much strip that away when you give people flying. way fewer interactions with people, way fewer world pvp opportunities, and this makes the world feel empty as shit. only time you see people is in shatt or in another main city or in front of kharazan
