Thank fucking God Blizzard pretty much killed the project already

what happened?

A thing we knew back in Blizzcon has suddenly caught people by surprise.

As always, blizzdrones never fail to disappoint when it comes to exceeding stupidity. I guess entering an instance to farm trash and then resetting it is also "cheating".

Give two examples

Lmfao, just like sharting would be only in the starting zones? Dumb blizzdrone.

How entitled are you faggots? You literally dropped down on your knees and BEGGED blizzard for this and now you're up in arms because they employed a current server technique that cuts down on resource costs while allowing the game world to be more stable and facilitate more players? Grow up please, Jesus. If the ENTIRE FUCKING CONTINENT being in the same shard is a deal breaker to you then we never needed you anyway.

Stay on on your chink private server until blizzard shuts it down or word gets out about the admins selling gold for the 50th time. The rest of us are going home.

Fuck blizzard I barely had hope and now I have none. Time for the Chinese buyout of these schmucks

You mean the shills? Probably learning the new scrip.

"Here is new script" types the chinese on the discord channel "I need you guys to learn these, you must defend the blizzard or no money for you"

Get a trip so I can shard you if you like it so much.

Because private servers always have shitty scripts and programming and half the quests don't work properly. The only exception to this was Nostalrius

crossrealm bgs were in vanilla

>>mage farming your AoE spot
>>go to a different layer
When I found a horde mage aoe farming I would just try to kill him, but whenver I found an alliance mage farming, I would wait for him to do a pull, and then keep spam sheeping the mobs so they regenrate health and get out of the slow to fuck him over until he dies and rages at me and leaves.

Now when they can just escape, it's no fun.

all they had to do was release it as is and maybe fix a few old bugs yet they still managed to fuck it up.

Their ineptitude has come full circle and now it's funny again.

Apparently many people are crying that the sky is falling when it's just there for the first 2-3 months so that the millions of player's don't have to wait in line for 5 hours to kill a named mob or loot a quest object that takes 5-10 min to respawn. Once this is over everyone can circle jerk in "muh living world" while pretending things will be just like the old days. They straight up said this would not happen again after Phase 1 where the world bosses start appearing for this specific reason.

>it's "only" half a year

Throughout my whole way from 1 to 60 on Light's hope, I didn't once encounter a bugged quest or a faulty script of any sort.

Can't decide between Orc or Tauren for Shaman, probably Tauren.

Damage control shill. Shits flopping harder than a footy player getting his ear tickled

should take a look at the 1.12 patch notes again, specifically the headline feature.

basically, the continents exist in their own shard. the server is divided into "layers" or think of them as dimensions, that you jump between by grouping with a person in the other dimension.

The server populations are going to be well above what they were in real classic. Like 5 or 6 times larger with multiple zones. If there was 1 lord Kazzak for for 3,000 people I don't see what the fuss is about if there are 5 lord Kazzaks for 15,000 people.

Most of vanilla wasn't 1.12 though, so maybe they should make an exception. Same for other stuff that wasn't there for the majority of vanilla.

Maybe now WoW shills can stop shitposting in other threads

So that's sharding but with extra steps?

And be branded a cuck forever? No.

That's what you get for being a normie, deal with it

Original WoW team worked their ass off to not have loading times because it ruins immersion and these fuckers now implement sharding.

Having server sharding fucking ruins the immersion, I don't want to see people teleporting to because I ganked them.

Same. Private servers have been working very close to retail FOR FREE for at least half a decade+
It's not as if people will remain paying to play this shit for long after they remember how fucking boring Vanilla is (not that retail is any better, but nostalgia kills logical thinking)

Give me one good reason why layers are bad if there's literally the same amount of people there were in real classic in each layer?

>hurrr i might not be able to corpse camp a level 20 on my level 60 hunter if his friend invites him to his own layer

Ah, so it's just seething hordefags.

Oh, just like Maplestory then, where each server had 20 channels?

Guys, guys ... calm down. TipsOut just confirmed the sharding will only work for the first week, after that it's gone. Trust Tips, he's our guy with tons of connections within Blizzard.

Its retail sharding which called layering.

ok, then why not just have a server that can handle 3k people and call that a day? the answer is they built this cloud shit for the fucky versions of wow, and now they have to use it to support their servers, when northdale runs 10k pop on a dell laptop from a barn in Czechoslovakia

Finally, tired of these faggot home niggers running a general outside of /vg/ for a garbage baby tier MMO, blinded by nostalgia.

That sounds pretty awesome. I was shit talking classic forever but you just changed my mind

Out of curiosity, how long would it take to download the files needed for classic on a private server? Took me a full day and change just for vanilla and Burning Crusade back in the day.

reminder blizzard is just trying to trick you fags into resubbing to BfA just in time for the next big patch
the sad part is most of you retards probably already fell for it

...

Can't wait after it's release people will stop playing maybe about a month or 2. I'm telling you, these nostalgiafaggots will cry for the "classic" version or a genre and then no one will play it anymore. Just look at all the arena shooters people are playing nowadays.

How do these people even operate in the world? Surely they never leave their house right?

Everyone knew that Classic was going to have to come with a retail subscription.

i've never played wow, what's sharding?

>because private servers always have shitty scripts and programming
Oh no, only blizzard can properly script 99% of the fights which are just tank and spank anyways. Classic isn't hard, you were bad, you are still bad.

shut up shill

mage or lock. mostly for pvp

At the very least nu-blizz should make some "no layering" specific servers for people who dont mind queues

Where did you get this info?

>The server populations are going to be well above what they were in real classic.
Okay, as someone that was there in Beta in 2004, and live retail launch, and 7 years after that, this is complete bullshit. You severely underestimate the playerbase size and how hard the servers choked for the first 6 months.

Obviously. Classic will be fun for a month or two, it'll be cool to see all the old stuff populated again.
Then it'll get old fast and everyone leaves again.

Classic is an event, not a game.

Everything is shilling, there's no chance that people were legitimately excited for Classic WoW, just pajeets on Blizz's payroll. Yup user you're correct like always!

What's the new Nost, the most popular classic server?

>still backpedals
>can't raid
>can't pvp

It wont be shitter. You are bad.

this

I've been sever hopping for 6 years homie. all the autistic pserver spergs hunger for FRESH servers. it's gets stale when AQ is cleared tho. Naxx is too easy nowadays. But yeah normies will surely quit after I would guess 2-3 weeks tops.

Do you want to delete people as a glass cannon, or do you want to be literally death incarnate who cannot be killed

More importantly, over estimating how popular WoW Classic will be.

Private servers are wrong in how the game functioned.

I don’t really care too much. I just want to try playing the game when it comes out because it seems fun

Retarded sandnigger that never played classic, has no idea what hes talking about, tries to milk everyone for some youtube clicks.

northdale on light's hope but it's run by devs who work w/ chinese gold sellers and give them items/gold to sell then ban people who buy gold and keep the money. Additionally over half the server doesn't speak a lick of English due to the high amount of chinese/russians.

Please keep acting like a retard, it really convinces me to play this knowing it's not shilling but actual retards who just can't comprehend a garbage cash grab when they see it.

i can’t decide between orc or Tauren warrior, isn’t the endurance racial favorable for prot?

>nearly 2 months after Shadowbringers
That's awfully passive for Blizzard

Wow dude watch out, blizzard won't pay you for those sentences! Remember you gotta make us believe the game is not dead so you get your cool shill money in your account

It's a real shame they only invited the retarded, completely clueless classicast streamers to test their alpha. Good thing we will soon be seeing some real, trustable data from the beta from players who actually know what they're talking about and don't just spot bullshit that nostalgic morons want to hear.

No. But Blizz sent me a fucking orc on a wolf statue like 5 years ago because I was a classic god

>Hey guys if we just strawman and call this person a shill then we win!

They literally said the first 2-3 months and we've known there would be some form of initial sharding for almost 8 months. I can garuntee that 1/2 the playerbase is going to quit before phase 1 and it won't be due to doomsayers speading blatant misinfo on an anonymous Mongolian basketweaving forum in an effort to gain useless (you)s.

The retarded faggot terms they're using like "dimension" and "shard" are only there to appeal to faggots that have no idea how computers work and want to sound cool.

I GUESS I'M BETTER OFF ALOOOOONE

That's always a possibility with private servers that you need to keep at the back of your head always.
I've been playing on private servers since BC was around, and blizzard going after them isn't a new thing, aside from the servers closing by themselves because of poor management or thievery, it's jsut now in recent years where the bulk of the playerbase dropped retail and some of them started heading to private servers that they learned of this reality, when it has been the case for years.

Oh wow you sure showed me with a post that wasn't yours. And he reads more like a shill than you do, that's something I guess.

sharting is when the world gets separated into several instances because otherwise babbies will cry that they have to share the same quest mob with too many other people

It's the result of attempting to fart while living on a diet of hotpockets and mountain dew
How players thought Blizzard had any control over this is beyond me

>But yeah normies will surely quit after I would guess 2-3 weeks tops.

LMFAO. WoW is casualized garbage compared to other MMO's.

I was excited for it until crossrealm BGs.

My fondest memories were the rivalries and camaraderie I developed on my server doing BGs.

Now it's just gonna be soulless literally who's mindlessly grinding honor points. Magic is gone lads, magic is gone

>How Long Will Layering Be Used?
If you dislike layering, worry not. Layering will only be used for a couple of weeks or maybe a month at the start of Classic WoW, in order to balance the huge influx of players in the same zones.

Cool. So everyone will have devilsaur farms and black lotus and nobody makes cash. Dropped.

Aren't they releasing 8.2 the same week as ShB? Blizz is always trying to push something out as soon as XIV does anything big, this time isn't an exception. I'm pretty sure the only reason they didn't release classic in the summer is because they don't want to see their precious world first mythic race interrupted by people playing classic.

Wait really? If so that's shitty, it was always fun to PVP with/against people that you know.

Based, fresh shitters can only raid MC in full t1, and even then they wipe all the time.

I thought I was going home until I woke up this morning and read what they have planned.I hope you manage to have fun user, but i'm outie. And I was on here shilling for free for months because of my love of the game.

As a retail baby I'm stoked I get to play the beta.

It entirely removes that by exploiting a server mechanic in an unintended way.

Also the devilsaur mafia isn't a thing on live, cross faction collaboration is bannable.

nigga I was agreeing with your post

Can I apply poisons + oils on my weapons at the same time as rogue?
for example, frost oil + crippling poison

Human Mage, just like I did from vanilla launch to 4.1 Cata.
I KNOW Gnome is better in every way, but I cant fucking stand the thought. I just can't get immersed as a 6 feet high jumping midget with crazy hair.
Who am I shitting, there wont be RP-PvP servers on launch and Ill just not play instead of making a Sophie's choice.

Its just a beta

exactly. ph2 won't be for a few months. by the time it rolls around, layer hopping will be down to a science. people will be banking stacks of lotus, devilsaurs will be extinct to the nth dimension.

This is one of the few times I wish we weren't anonymous, so I could laugh forever at the "going home" retards.

Blizz really should implement shar- ahem, I mean layering just for ungoro past that date.

As long as they keep to their word and only use it for phase 1 then it's fine. I figured they'd do something like this because there would be a ton of normie shits flooding every server and then quit when they realize it's harder than retail. So it's just a way to merge servers in advance.

Okay? That's still a stable population of thousands. Also it's illegal and you have to go out of your way to download it and you risk your progress getting removed whenever. Even with all that thousands of players kept playing all this time.

But please tell me about the rose-tinted glasses effect of something that people are playing right now

Good. I am already rolling a rogue to smash classic fags like you to teach you how much the folly of your ways were.

Westfall so you get to do the Van Cleef/Defias brotherhood questline and get that blue ring I forgot its name.
It's one of the best low level questlines imo, in terms of story and engagement.

*Teleport to layer 6*

Nice try kiddy.

Westfall has Defias questline that culminates in Deadmines tho, that’s a pretty big plus over Loch Modan

They are the only ones who will get into the beta.

My favorite excuse from asspained retail shitters and FF fags. Nigger every game on the internet is free if you try at all. I could download almost any game release this year easily, or emulate any older games or just download movies, shows and anything. I mean fuck theres even private servers for newer expansions of WoW. So out of all those options you can do for free, why specifically vanilla? Probably because they like it. Kill yourself brainlet

Oh boy my favorite part of WoW launches if the parroting of incorrect shit over and over.

Don't worry user :) you won't survive.

That’s what I’m thinking. Hopefully is right and I’ll be able to head to Loch Modan after, or vice-versa

It's different when it comes to the other faction, without crossrealm bgs, you get to actually stomp and kill people who ganked you while leveling or ganged up on you, and either make them rage quit the bg or if they were good sport, they would keep coming back and eventually kill you as well. Those rivalries would be drastically reduced with crossrealming

Waiting 30-60min for a queue to pop is not particularly fun tho

just remember. the group finder was originally added under the guise of being a "quality of life" improvement

i knew blizzard couldn't help themselves from the beginning. the main things that separate vanilla from retail is all the group finder and cross server shit and blizzard doesnt view that as different gameplay they look at it as a pure improvement so they rationalize adding it in to classic

this has been stated countless times but this is the stuff that destroys the community that people want to play classic for in the first place

Same thing than you, I just like to tell people that to see how fast they change their minds.
As soon as someone bashes Tauren most people instantly change their minds and start asking about Orcs instead.

Crossrealm bg's were introduced in vanilla though. It beats having 1 hour plus queues for AV/WSG though

>you can go your whole game without seeing another person on your server even if they are standing on top of you
I’m just not happy about it. First they say “it’s just for the demo” then “it’s just for leveling” and you can be sure when their servers shit the bed it will wind up just sticking around.
Additionally, they won’t solidify any number and if they do how can you trust they are being honest? 3000 people on launch day will still be a fucking swarm of people, and I wager it will be the same numbers of sharding

I just recently started playing a private vanilla server to try my class a bit and prepare for classic, and I've been loving it, I even chose the same race as my original character and I still enjoyed redoing all the questlines and zones.
Sure, a lot of aspects that made vanilla wow great are diminished or completely gone due to the change in time, but there are a lot of things that still made the game great that are still present, like the toughness of mobs and having to do the low level dungeons again at the appropriate level, the rewarding spell/talent system and looking forward every two levels to see the spells you'll get, and feeling each power upgrade directly in your gameplay, and many more

>mfw layering is actually better than sharding, but most people ITT don't even know the difference and just want to shitpost

Sharding is splintering the realm up into a thousand instances of 50 people. Layering is one realm-sized shard so you will never see people change instances while playing. As a realm goes from 6,000 concurrent on launch day to 3,000 concurrent after the first two weeks, the layers will collapse into one and it will become as normal. Most of you won't even notice it for fuck's sake.

>enormous money sink

stay poor fucking nigger

What people are worried about is players taking advantage(understandably) of the fact that you can jump between layers if you are invited into a group, basically dodging respawn timers on mobs and npcs, farming ressources etc which can affect the unity of the server

Not really. The alternative to layering is to have realm caps, transfers and mergers where they have to prune half of their realms after a week. That would cause more butthurt than this down the road, especially considering a dead realm is dead forever and "layering" is temporary. At some point it will be gone and nobody will ever talk about it again.

Money sink + character services + store mounts.

Gonna make a Dwarf. Warrior or Hunter?

I like Warrior because they're strong, they can tank and are high impact. However they seem high maintenance and not very solo friendly which is negative cuz I'm an autist.

Hunter on the other hand seems the opposite, they seem chill and casual, easy to gear. However they also seem weak in most aspects of PvE.

I agree this is a concern, IMO they should make adding a friend permanently attach you to their layer or vice versa. Might help a bit.

Yeah it's cool the economy for devilsaur leather, herbs and ore might be completely fucked by the time they remove layering but at least I didn't have to go cook dinner for 30 minutes while waiting to log in

not a hard concept

I like capeshit because growing up the super hero movies I had were fucking abysmal, and never in my life did I think something like the Avengers movie would ever be made. Kids these days have it really good.

You're basically chosing between the two classes which will be garanteed to have a huge population, huntards because they are the easiest and friendliest to level, and warriors because tanks are in high demand.
Either way, both have their adv and disadv so it won't matter in the end, it simply depends on what you prefer

>exactly what we had in vanilla?

No, because this time you're dealing with a lot more people than in 2004. There will still be those things in classic, but realm pop issues are harder to solve than a few autists bitching and moaning about layering.

Classic has phasing that only allows a portion of players to appear at once.

Sad cause he never actually played vanilla and shouldn't be an authority on it. He also chooses some really weird hills to die on like his hardline stance on progressive itemization despite him never experiencing it himself.

Esfand's not much better but he knows slightly more about what he's talking about.

Madseason is actually my favorite Classic guy and the one I imagine the majority of people can relate to since he's just looking to enjoy the game he played back in 04/05 and doesn't stream.

i'm not, others absolutely are. You're delusional if you think this won't be abused.

>The old crack was better than the new crack
WoW players are the drug addict bums of the videogame industry.

With layering all that's going to happen is you're going to be stuck in a low pop layer, wondering where all the people went because you rolled on a high pop server. Then you realize you're in the low pop layer. So youll spend a few minutes whispering people for invites until you get put back in the high pop layer. Until you run into problems with mobs being camped, or a ganker on your ass, then you'll want to get switched over to a low pop layer.

Its an entire different dimension of gameplay that was not present in vanilla and will literally ruin phase 1 especially considering this is the ONLY phase where you can have city raids without penalty

I dont expect the shill and cu.ck Im replying to , to understand anything about good game design. But this is a horrible affront to all good game design practicies, and opens up a whole host of potential farm abuse from clever groups of players

Where my fellow mages at? Ready for some comfy frost chilling before rolling the big deeps in AQ40 and naxx?

Bravo Blizzard.

I'm actually not measuring by thread posts but actually from play experience in private servers, whether you want to consider that quasi-representative or not is your choice.
However, to address your point, warrior has quite the slow start, the weakest out of all the classes, but once you get your ww axe and ww the ability, you only go upward from there.

The queue lasting hours was due to there not being any form of sharding at all.
There is still no justification for having layering into the high levels where materials that are relevant to end-game can be farmed many times as fast on normal classic.
They are implementing it like this because it is easier for them, it's that simple.

They literally said that in the interview though. Where did they say otherwise?

I'm more excited for the actual release when these streamers get spoonfed gear and progression by their viewers then complain it's not the same experience they had in Vanilla. You know it's going to happen.

streamers are going to unironically ruin classic wow
blizzard is listening to them and they just want to kiss blizzards ass for the benefits and are telling them what they want to hear

>Gets BTFO

We have no clue.

Nothing can stop my hype for this. Most of you fucking retards complaining probably didn't even play during Vanilla.

If they stay true to their word concerning layers only during phase one, this will be great.

Plus the possibility of BC and Wrath servers, AND the possibility of post Naxx level 60 content?

This is all good news. fuck you retards.

A new layer is only made once a 3-4k cap is reached

Sharding is actually going to annihilate the community. I'm legitimately saddened by this news, even if it's only for Phase1.

If by "it" you mean my dick, then I hope so.

>see horde preparing to do Lord Kazzak
>yeah i guess we could fight them off it but thats so long LOL
>just invite me to another layer LMAO first phase btw

Ah yes reddit formatting and bootlicking delusion. It wouldn't be any other way.

Im still hyped but I am disappointed that phase 1 will be marred by this gay "phase technology" that made me quit the game to begin with

Thinking either troll mage/priest or human warlock.

>whispering people for invites

How can you even do that? They won't be on your /who most likely

At which point it'll be split into two 2k layers maybe?

The worst is that sharding in the starting zone only was probably a way better option than layering the whole fucking world.

Starting zone are not PvP and last only a few hours, but now we will have STV with shitty teleporting shenaningans.

i imagine since i played BDO to some extent which uses channels. i agree with what you said but like i said IF layering gets removed after p1 you should have nothing to worry. i can imagine that devilsaur and lotus will be an issue economic wise, there will also be an issue with wpvp tho i heard that you stay in the layer you are dedicated to unless someone invites you into his group/layer. im not saying its not an issue but when the classic doors open you will be grateful. besides i myself dont really care if its only for p1 since i got my route how to progress throu zones and by the time p1 end and layering gets removed i should be somewhere in BiS gear and seeing that the merge happens afterwards is kinda ideal for me. depends on the timing so i might be wrong how this plays out.

he didnt even play it

they already went back on their word twice with this shit...please wake up man. it fucking hurts because I know you have hope and just want to have fun and they're going to strike you down. I don't want you to not have fun user, I don't want them to do this to you.

selling invite to layer 2 for 3gold, alliance owns nesignwary

They will be in your /who, because it's literally the same tech as sharding

only redditors hate TipsOut

Yes let's just have a perfectly tranquil Elwynn experience while everyone fucking pours out of their shards at Westfall so it just makes Westfall unplayable, great idea.

I am with you brother

What are people even complaining about? That the beta requires a subscription?

Asmongold is the face of retail, a dude who only plays WoW and can't/won't quit because it's the only thing he knows

I'll be playing retail and classic regardless because I'm a retard Blizzfag and I hate my life. Fuck.

>A guy who barely played in vanilla wow, and constantly lashes out against vanilla players's gatekeeping mentality because he secretly feels inadequate and embarassed that he never got to experience it truly
hmmm

why would all the layers be on the same chat channel?

3 gold to turn in 5 quests and get the fuck on with my leveling? sold. and here's your tip

>WTF THERES A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THIS MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME?? UHHH BLIZZARD??? PLEASE FIX THIS AT ONCE!!! I DEMAND A SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE IN MY MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE GAME... AH YES THATS MUCH BETTER THANK YOU BLIZZARD (TM) FOR YOUR PHASE TECHNOLOGY (TM), NOW I CAN ENJOY THIS GAME AS A SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE, AS THE DEVELOPERS INTENDED

>grinds in dungeons instead
what now faggot

i agree with you just wanted to point out that some people fail to realize how bad it was to stand in queues, get random dcs in southshore / tarren mill wpvp raids bcs of server stability issues etc.. and that having layering for "opening" phase aint such a bad idea IF it stays only for p1 since p2 ranks and honor system gets introduced if im correct.

>he still thinks its phase 1 after blizzard have moved the goalposts 3 times
t.battered wife

Hope you guys are looking forward to
'Guys Horde are ganking people at Raven Hill'
'lmao who cares just like, switch to another layer dude'

I hope you have fun and it feels authentic. I know it won't fell right at all for me. The hype train just made it's first stop and i'm getting off here and cutting my losses

Screenshot this and you will see I'm right in time

>cross realm battlegrounds
Why lie? Are you that desperate to detour people from classic

Only deluded cucks have an opinion on TipsOut.

You can turn in quests while still corpse camped, it just requires quick reflexes (something WoW players used to need on pvp servers, but of course we cant have anything mentally or physically demanding in a video game, that's ableist after all)

they're on the same server. why wouldn't they be? how would you find groups with people or get invites from your friends in other layers if you have no way to communicate?

Troll is said to be the better prot warrior on Horde.
If a fight is dependant on you having 5% more stamina then you have a healer issue. The 5% only matters when you have 5% or less health remaning. and if it does matter then as i said you have a healer issue, you shouldn't dip that low for the tauren racial to matter.

Honestly tho just pick whatever you like, if you think taurens are cool then go for it. also war stomp is a great racial. Nature res isn't super useful but nice to have for AQ

>brand loyalty to corporations
>brand loyalty to fucking streamers and e-celebs
the fuck is wrong with zoomers

it's a retarded solution to too many player characters gathered around one npc.
FFXIV solves it by letting you hold x to hide all player names and make other player characters unselectable.

It won't because unlike staring zone, westfall is way bigger and has lot more quest.

Also to getting out of Elwynn takes a few hours, so players will not join Westfall at the same time.

What the fuck is sharding?

>YES BLIZZARD, THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO TAKE AN ENTIRE WEEK TO GET FROM LEVEL 1-10, TRULY THIS IS THE VANILLA EXPERIENCE™ I LOVE WAITING IN LINE TO PICK UP QUEST ITEMS

You wouldn't? Why would they want you to communicate between layers when a layer is the size of one full server? You can just whisper your friends

The opposite of playing with the server community, which was basically vanilla soul

>WTF WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO LEVEL WTF I ONLY PICKED THE HIGHEST POP SERVER I COULD FIND AND THERES TONS OF PEOPLE HERE WTF

yeah thats so much better than just temporarily increasing spawn rates instead of this frankenstein bullshit theyre attempting

i appreciated your joke user

>If they stay true to their word concerning layers only during phase one

they literally already backtracked on what they said before. first it was only sharding in the demo. then it was only sharding in the starting zones. now it's only for phase 1. do you really, honestly think that they won't move the goalposts again? what reason do you have to trust any of what this company says? is it the entire last decade of quality games and superb business management from the company that brought you diablo mobile?

Thanks for clarifying tips, i thought there were quest arrows too. Understandable mistake, and i love you, and as always, tips out.

Priest because of the aesthetic/class identity. Its just kind of lame to see a dude in plate healing your 5man

f-f-fuck YOU! *turns 360 degrees and layers out*

>temporarily increasing spawn rates
>level faster, get more gold and items than I would in actual vanilla

May as well be playing on a 2x private server

A competent one

>You can just whisper your friends
your battle.net friends, sure. but what about in-game friends you only added via the social tab?

its some "eurasia was always at war with eastasia" shit. blizzdrones are fucking insane.

This is pathetic, can he even hide the fact that he never played vanilla now? This nigger has been exposed.

fuck being 28, srsly. There's like 3 studios (mostly yuro madlads) that still make the kind of games I like. Fuck'all to play

As aoe specced mage? not doable in the slightest, not at an efficient level like outside world grinding atleast, most dungeons have mixed caseter/melee pack of mobs making it impossible, with very few exceptions that are hard to get to in the first place. Also, grinding dungeon mobs that are not low level enough to give you xp is also impossible, even plate wearers can't tank a more than 3 elite mobs 5 or 6 levels lower than them by themselves, trust me, I tried.
Go ahead now, tell me how you gonna do it.

Why do people care about sharding so much? It's not always active; it's only active when there are too many people in a zone or area. Realistically they could just not tell you it was there and you'd never know it was happening. You can still group with anyway, you can still message General chat as ask if people want to do X group quest. This really seems like the "fake because" reason for people who weren't going to play the game to have an excuse not to.

I would rather have a healer who understands the importance of downranking spells than some dude who went on Yea Forums and asked what healer he should play.

i wish i had friends and a guild to return home to

>It's not always active
it's active across the entire server
>and you'd never know it was happening.
another quality thought
please post more you are enlightening

its against the spirit of an MMO to seperate people like that
how is this so hard to comprehend?

stop playing video games if they hurt you so much

The real question is are you going to go 31/0/30 frost or deep frost?

Uhm ahem *tink tink tink tink*

Should I buy a month of sub time for the chance to get into the beta?

I mean, if they got rid of the layering altogether I doubt many people would have a problem with how it has progressed.

Don't watch the tipsout interview. Maintain your innocence.

>paying money for THE CHANCE to get into a beta
are all weebs this retarded and subservient?

I'm convinced at this point that Blizzard literally hates money, and whoever is making executive decisions at the top of the company, genuinely just hates humanity and gamers as a whole and wants to punish us all.

I remember one time back in teh day, this one paladin healer didn't go oom once in uldaman I don't think, he wasn't high level even, i think 40 or 41 while msot of the group was between 42 and 44, and we didn't wipe or die once.
I wondered whether paladins were jsut easy mode or the guy was very good and efficient

Might as well go buy lottery tickets if you're gonna throw your money away user.

how much do they pay you to be a retard?

>people think blizzard will be angry if classic is popular
>people think they’ll cancel retail if classic is popular
>people avoid talking about how they’ll be paying blizzard an active BfA sub that will inflate the numbers and make stock holders happy
Go on call me a tranny or zoomer. In the end im not the one giving bluzzard money to play a sharded private server

He's a question. What is the functional difference between you being online with 99 other people, and you being online with 199 other people, but only 99 are visible? Sharding is a smart way to allow larger server populations without running into performance issues. MMOs eventually die; look at retail WoW where the game is empty. By starting with larger populations in the servers it will give them more of a buffer before they eventually become so sparsely populated that the servers die.

>fuck it up in every conceivable way

It really seems like people ITT are actually trying to find reasons to throw their hands up and sperg out. All of this reaction is because of layering? Jesus christ lmfao

thanks

I don't know why other people are angry about it, and I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people bitching about it are just people who are jumping on a hate-train, but I specifically don't want it because it kills the feel of the world. If I have access to everything all the time because of sharding, or I'm never put in a situation where I must socialize because I can just do everything on my own, then the whole thing just feels empty. Not being able to do things because of too many players was never a "problem" for people who were interested in playing an MMO. It's only a problem for people who want to play a single-player game with a chat room.

I'm 27 and feel the same way so I just play Starcraft 2 1v1 multiplayer.
Absolutely based. Battle Chip Challenge is fun too.

he does it for free

based as fuck timothy

Can anyone link this layering info? Where does it say you can switch on demand?

Now that I think about it, 2012 or 2013 is probably the last time I actually enjoyed videogames. And even then I was playing older stuff like Dragon Age Origins and New Vegas for the 6th time.

Clearly none of you remember the REAL vanilla launch experience which was servers so overloaded that you had maybe 10% chance of even being able to log in.

Just give them money, guys. They respect you so much.

Fuck off, just join a server that isn't dead
