Bros I hope I get into the same layer as asmongold

>making vanilla for twitch faggots who will drop the game days after release

blizzard is dumb.

Basically when you log in, you're put into a "layer" of the world. As it grows to "capacity" another layer is created that will then fill up with players until it hits capacity and another layer is placed on top of that. People won't be phasing in and out as the server tries to balance populations in zones, you're in the layer you're in. They will only be doing this at the launch of Classic to avoid having 50,000 people trying to kill the same boars in Northshire. Once people start to level up and spread out throughout the world, layering will be removed and everyone will share the same space.

It's when you have flatulence while passing a deuce

they even add layering because TWITCH TOURISM

I thought sharding was when you go poopoo in your pants lolololollo

Layering is a better solution than sharding or queues and all the doomsayers will continue to get blown out as Classic draws closer to release. It's not too late to stop being a retailcuck or FF14 tranny though. There's still time to realize that your shitposting won't change anything and to enjoy the game with everyone else.

>tell you home faggots they're gonna fuck it up
>get called a retail shill
>they fuck it up

Is this contained to your server, or is each layer a different server? I haven't played WoW in awhile, but I absolutely fucking hated the multi-server faggotry when it came to farming old world mats or rare spawns. Instead of just having a handful of autists on your server wanting to kill shit that stopped being relevant a decade ago, you had autists from a fuckton of servers.

Now that regen is from BFA this means Shaman, Pala and Druid DPS are viable in raiding.

why are his eyes so fucking creepy

Remember when we tricked those retailcucks into thinking we cared about community? So based, bros.

ELE SHAMANS RISE UP. #NOTIDE

So basically each server is partitioned. Why not just make more servers and then merge them IF they become underpopulated?

When the game first launched in November 2004, they didn't have millions of people lining up to get in the door. They had a slow and steady trickle. Why do you think the launch of every expansion through MoP was an insane madhouse? Because of the huge bottleneck at the start of every expansion's zone with millions of people trying to get through the front door. With layers, which again, they say should only be in place at the start of the xpac so you don't have 50k people after the same boar, it should prevent thousands of people in the same place crashing the servers.
No linked servers. If you're on the server Whisperwind, you will only ever see people from Whisperwind. If you're on Doomhammer, you will only ever see people from Doomhammer.

WOW SO MUCH HOME BROS TOTALLY THE VANILLA EXPERIENCE

You're aware that there's a 5 seconds rule for mana, right?

It is, fuck blizzard

this guy cant even clean his room

why do people idolize a hermit

Because each server can hold a certain number of people... but spread out across the entire game world. When the game launches the entire server population will be in one of six locations depending on what races they roll. It's 10k people each in six zones with the other 20+ empty... while later it will be 200-500 people each in 20+ zones.

I googled it WoW had 200k players launch day.

>barely killed a 3 levels higher rare with 2 people and using all cds and potions
looks ok

Ten people in the same zone. Six of those people are miners, with only four ore nodes. The server hides the remaining players to you, and makes them appear in their own sharded version of the same exact area.

The obvious problem is that you'll notice your computer eating resources, when the area seems dead. Because the server is actively telling your computer to hide the appearance of the people...when their stats and data are still very much there.

>He's a bit of a bugman.
hes 150% bugman

I will never understand how people can look up to and suck streamer dick so fuckin much. Like what goes through these peoples minds. Ide unironically would love to meet one of these people who donates 10k a month to streamers and ask them why.

Daily reminder all mobs in vanilla had thematic armor and magic resist, so if a stone elemental would have more armor because hes a stone

Private servers dont have this, all raid bosses have about the same stats.
And people think private servers are blizzlike

Why didn't they just fucking raise respawn rate, how fucking retarded could blizzard be, this is worse than sharing.

That is called a Heroic Strike, a Warrior ability which costs rage and adds a fixed amount of bonus damage to your next melee swing. The shittier your weapon is, the bigger the bonus appears to be.

Was there seriously zero regen in vanilla or are you just a cunt? Wrathbabby here.

The game has always had dynamic spawn rates. The more people killing mobs, the faster they respawn.

nothing can be worse than CRZ, at least with layers the people are actually on your server and can be guilded/traded with

People have been shitposting with straight up misinformation and lies since the first Classic thread. What do you think? Regen has ALWAYS seemed faster in 1-5 zones. Go do it on a private server right now if you don't believe me. Now that streamers are reaching the actual starting zones things are getting harder.

Just a shitposter, try your best to ignore xir.

yup you could only regen with water.

So it's just instancing?

Is that what people are using for reference? The starting area regen rates? Well, that's a relief. I remember well the regen rates.

Funny how people forget that WoW already had a system to handle heavy loads. Resources and enemies spawned faster if they're killed faster. So if 50 people were camping Hogger, Hogger would be spawning about 3 seconds after he died.

Splitting the server is just them being too cheap to invest in better infrastructure. Instead of increasing the capacity of their infrastructure, they are just breaking it up into smaller pieces and selling it to you as "how you don't have to wait!"

MMOs at their best were never about the fast burn. 90% of your time in game was either waiting or traveling. WoW isn't that much different, except they're trying to make everything faster across the board because all of you are fucking ADHD children. It's amazing they haven't replaced flight paths with teleports.

I'm watching Sodapoppin's stream and it looks like classic. Original animations, quite slow mana and health regen--which picks up out of combat. He runs out of mana if he wraths/moonfires mobs. He has to heal his warrior friend, despite being in a party, because they pulled several mobs. Look like home.

Part of the experience is teaming up and coordinating with people if the zones are saturated. Also, multiple instances of the world = more resources = more shit being dumped into the economy. If someone is getting shat on in PvP they can just get invited to a different layer and avoid it (you stay on the same layer until you get invited to another group, which is frequent during leveling)

Also, it's Actiblizzard who have already lied about how long it's going to be implemented. First, they said it was only going to be during launch. Now, it's known as "layering" and it's going to be for actual months of gameplay. And it will probably not ever be removed just because it's a product of the legion engine and making the game have an actual infrastructure again would require a lot of coding effort.

Basically it kills the persistent world and also has detrimental effects on the economy and PvP

It won't. You don't invest that much time and resources into a design only to throw it away after a few months. Layering will never go away. Their PR team just told them not to say that yet.

Shutting off layers is probably a trivial operation while merging servers isn't. You have to identify the server to shut down, kick everyone off it and merge the data into the new server, making sure there are no naming conflicts or anything like that. And this is before you consider resource efficiency from a purely cost standpoint.

Coming from Everquest, I remember being amazed at 2 things. First, how retardedly easy it was because dying meant nothing at all (In Everquest, if you died, you lost as much as 2 weeks progress depending on your level). And secondly, it was irritating as fuck that monsters never missed. The formula was completely different than Everquest where hits and misses were a lot better in tune with your stats. And the enemy's stats. All mobs had different hit and evasion rates, and got morale boosts as more and more dogpiled you. If that happened in WoW, kiting would be non-existent.

They're all wh**e

Never played a Paladin in vanilla (Rogue & Shaman player, stopped playing in WotLK), going to play one in Classic, what am I in store for?

Wearing cloth and being a healbot. Unironically.

They cant tank and cant dps.

Most of the people hyping it never actually played between 2004 and 2006. Those of us that did really don't give a fuck. I quit playing around 2009. And I have zero desire to ever play an MMO again in my life.

In fact, I'm pretty angry at Blizzard for trying to bait old users into the hamster wheel. Most people can't balance their lives and MMOs at the same time. Blizzard is basically a bunch of drug dealers say "Hey, come have one more taste, for old time's sake." and it's just really scummy. They waited to play this card until the last minute - when the knew WoW was going to shit. If they really cared about making players happy, they would have done it 8 years ago.

But classicfags are saying layering is the same shit and that they won't play it because it's there

>MMOs at their best were never about the fast burn. 90% of your time in game was either waiting or traveling.
unfortunately the majority of people can't do that anymore. when we were younger and only had to worry about school it wasfine, now people have jobs and they don't want to spend the majority of their free time doing that stuff. mmos don't bring in kids anymore, they'd prefer to session based multiplayer games now, so developers have to change their mmos to target the working people that don't have the luxury to spend 90% of their game time walking around or waiting for something

2 weeks is a bit of an exaggeration. If you died in a common leveling area at a high level you could almost always get a nearly complete rez and even if you couldn't it took like 5 or 6 hours tops with a decent xp group.

The fuck is this? They should be doing more damage than that even at such a low level

BECAUSE IT WASNT IN ORIGINAL CLASSIC

You die on a hell level with no rez, 2 weeks easy.

easy/hard is a gross oversimplification though. In many cases Warcraft has a higher skill ceiling, while Everquest has a higher skill floor and is far more punishing.

You can be a complete shitter in WoW and still progress. In EQ, if you fail at a baseline competence you'll be fucked and will be lucky to make it past level 20 without rage-quitting. EQ also has no bumpers and safety rails like WoW. If you accidentally hit the attack button when talking to your level 60 class trainer, you'll be killed instantly. In WoW, you're not even allowed to attack your own quest-givers and friendly-faction NPCs.

On the other hand, most classes in WoW are more complex than most EQ classes. There are a lot more abilities, a lot more decisions to make, the pace of the game is much quicker, and there's no godlike crowd-control class to solve every multi-mob situation (Enchanter). Playing a class to optimal effectiveness is harder in WoW, and coordinating a team to optimal effectiveness is also harder in WoW. The difference is that for most of the PvE game, WoW doesn't demand anywhere near optimal effectiveness. Meanwhile, in EQ making any significant mistake is likely to lead to death or a full wipe.

It's literally a better queue system. Debate me.

Caster mobs at this level always did low damage retard. Same thing with the imps in Valley of Trial. They never did fucking 15-20 damage with their fireballs, they always did regular 4-5 damage.

>far more punishing.
Discipline and Skill. WoW takes no discipline. You can fuck off and listen to the radio during raids because minor slip-ups won't change anything. That wasn't true in Everquest. You needed discipline just as much as skill. If you slipped in front of a mob for a split second, you could wipe the raid.

Crossrealm BGs are confirmed lmao

bros....we're finally going home....

it's "layering" aka sharding, and it's in.

Dude, WoW plain didn't work for like a week straight. The launch was a disaster.

this will never get as popular as old school runescape

Why make more servers knowing you're going to have to merge them in a week after everyone has spread out across the world, instead of having an automated system that does the same thing by instancing a single server?

layering is the polar opposite of cross-realm

But I want thousands of people in each starting zone

>there's no godlike crowd-control class to solve every multi-mob situation (Enchanter)
As someone who's main was an enchanter, you're grossly oversimplifying their role. They had to tash, slow, mez, and before KEI buffing clarity every 6 minutes.

The only reason WoW doesn't have "godly crowd control" is because you're able to tank 30 mobs at once. In Everquest, each additional mob was 25% stronger than the one standing next to it. By the time you 4 mobs on you, fuck it, you're dead. Mez was essential.

Everyone who is bitching about layering now: you won't need to worry about layering in a few months after the hype dies down and people hit that level 30 slog to 40 and quit. There won't be any layers because there will barely be a few thousand people playing at a given time. It's fine.

Why do you think they need layering?

Except those were actually in vanilla.

So this about the perfect time to get into WoW for someone who has never played WoW, eh?

>I'm betting Classic will have somewhere between 1-2 million people at launch.
Depends on how they price it. If they try that $60 + $15/month shit, it will be less than 1mil. Some people simply want to try it, not actually invest in it. And a high upfront cost will run them off.

No, absolutely not. I say this as someone who played WoW a lot from 2005 onward. Do literally anything else with your time.

Certainly not because the initial launch was so smooth(it wasn't) because of low initial pressure(there wasn't).
You're just making shit up as you go along. Your word means less than nothing. The WoW launch was a disaster.

>yup you could only regen with water.
Why do people keep saying this shit? HP and Mana always regened after you stopped casting for a few seconds and left combat. That is why MP/5 exists. It's sole purpose was in-combat regen, and it stood independent from the innate regen.

Yep. Blizzard backpedaling and falling down the slippery slope as usual

Talents that are BG excusive, or some way for you to be able to re-spec when the change only affects BG pvp.

Why do you need a smooth launch?

>you're grossly oversimplifying their role
No, I just didn't take pains to elaborate on the challenges of playing an Enchanter. The fact is that no matter how challenging it might have been to play an EQ Enchanter, they still solved crowd control without help from any other character (except perhaps a healer and good puller who kept adds manageable).

The presence of enchanters in Everquest eliminates the need for 99% of the potential decision-making for other group members. Everyone else just mindlessly hits /assist and attacks when the leader says so. Second-tier CC abilities like root were never used. Off-tanking was never used, unless mobs were immune to mez in which case enchanters wound up sitting on their thumbs, Enchanters were the only class that routinely hated NTOV.

Same as any other blizzard launch, same as private servers, nobody cares

like godblizz intended before satanvision took over

Know what is alternative to vanilla? Playing retail.

All Classic requires is a wow sub which is just $15 a month. You don't even need to have the newest xpac.

>they still solved crowd control without help from any other character
Crowd control was a team effort. There were multiple mez spells. The ones with the lowest resist rates also broke randomly. Which means everyone drops fucking everything and stands completely still and waits for it be be re-mezzed while the main mob continues to beat on the tank and the loose mob is going after the cleric, then after the mob is mezzed, they move the active mob away so it doesn't get hit (mez broken) in the crossfire.

>Which means everyone drops fucking everything and stands completely still
Exactly. Everyone else stops playing the game while the enchanter does his work. Then you can start playing again (doing your mindless attacks or debuffs) once the mobs are mezzed again.
This shit your describing is not challenging for a group. Yes, it's exacting. If you fuck it up, everyone dies. But it's not hard at all for anyone except the Enchanter. Anyone making it to high levels of Everquest could do this shit without thinking about it. The only challenge is not falling asleep from sheer boredom.

WoW doesn't demand perfect coordination and punish the slighest mistake with a wipe. But, if you want to control a crowd as effectively as EQ, multiple characters must ACTIVELY coordinate (not just play with their dicks for 10 seconds waiting for the enc). The Mage can polymorph one, the rogue can sap another one, a warlock might use succubus mez or fear. Maybe you'll use the mage Root as well.

This is actually much harder to do well. The difference is that mobs are easier and fucking up isn't punished with instant death and even if someone dies it's no big deal.

What were you expecting? The inability to stop moving forward?

so barrens has like 3 fucking people in it

why did they release to only a small amount of streamers?

I was expecting flying to have some movement mechanics that made it interesting and fun. I was hoping for some quests that would teach you how to fly, and that being "good" at flying would be something revered. All they did it make it so you could "swim" in the air. If you lag, you even use the swimming animation if you dismount in the air.
I just expected too much I guess.

They had the Netherwing flying quests.

My life was even more pathetic during vanilla. I was 22. Still unemployed. Parents were extremely disappointed and worried about me. Now I'm 37, have a wife, a step son, make 70k a year. I'm ready to go home.

Its the same as what level 4s in the classic beta are regen'ing

AHAHA HAHA OH MY GOD ITS OVER

I've played blizzard games for the better part of my life and I can tell you that after about cataclysm the game has been the same as it was in beta pmuch everytime. Hundreds of people report the same bugs yet it never gets fixed for release, the blizzard you knew and loved is long gone, what makes you think they would actually fix shit this one time?

All I literally want is a blizzard run private server that won't be shut down and this is what they're giving. I'm happy. Fuck corrupt Pservers and their chink/russian pops.

There is nothing they can do to change human behavior, this is an issue all MMOs have had.

It's the most manly thing a dude can do is to take responsibility for your lover's son and raise him as your own. No boy deserves not to have a caring, kind father. That boy will grow up to be a good man with user's influence in his life. My biological dad was a stepdad to my older brother.

layering is worse than sharding if sharding was only going to be in the starter zones

Okay the first reply was genuine and you're a dick for lumping me with those other two trolls.

nah.

Filtered your autistic rant tho

the only time being a step father is acceptable, is to marry a widow. if you marry a woman who married a deadbeat youre just enabling bad behavior

It's never going away, blizzard knows you cucks will just suck it up anyway. They might even add LFR later down the line because you'll still be too much of a cuck to quit.

SEETHING

HAVE SEX KEK

EQ was orders of magnitude harder than WoW. These faggots complaining about mana regen rate, even at it's slowes, mana regen in WoW was superpowered compared to EQ (where one had to stare at a spellbook for 5-10 minutes)

Yeah, there was almost none.

It hurts being proven wrong, but you can grow from this experience. Next time you should do actual research on the topic you're discussing to prevent embarrassment like this. Also go to bed, it's getting late and you have school tomorrow.

no it's not, but that doesn't make it worse

runescape takes tons of time to progress to 99 , doesnt make it a better game

No fucking shit? Everyone knows this dude. World of warcraft was the casual MMO when it released, what's funny is that in the current market it's a pretty hardcore one. What the fuck happened to this genre?

Maybe you could play Classic WoW with your wife's son.

But they can just put everyone on the same server like they did for every other game and people will enjoy it. Now, nobody enjoys it. Sharding is some stupid shit and you are dumb for defending it

I always did it because I always wanted to be on the most 'alive' server, that mentality obviously applies to lots and lots of people.

You can pick any random MMO and look at their server populations, the first server in the list that normally appears there is going to attract more people, if its filtered alphabetically then its going to be that server and if its population based then whatever got the highest pop at launch will sustain itself.

You cant force people to certain servers because you have to let people play with friends, so if people can one way or another pick servers they will abuse that mechanic to get onto the server they want (which will be the most alive one)

I always through the best thing to do is increase exp/gold rates on less popular servers and have it scale. So near death servers give a lot more progress, and alive servers give normal. Give people a carrot for being on less popular servers and keeping them alive as well as spread out.

Look at this vanillacuck calling out retailfags while defending retail features at the same time.

Why are you asking me? Do you want me to fuck your wife or something!?

don't play the game then no one cares classic has updated animations

gtfo out with your autism

PvP is fun. I don't really understand how you can hate PvP if you're interested in classic at all, it's one of the bigger reasons to play it. Fighting pve mobs gets boring

Its not a retail feature, its a modern feature of server architecture. If Blizzard has this tech back when WOW first launched they would be stupid not to use it.

Here is your last (you) trolls

layering is different from sharding though
sharding is permanent and random, sharding is pre-generated, continuous and then will be turned off after Phase 2 or 3 or whenever

twitch is dying, zoomers are already bored with it

Are world firsts to 60 from streamers going to count if they get a free mount from donated gold? 100% SKIPs allowed

I dont remember sharding in vanilla

you gtfo you shill fuck

Because its depth-less. If I wanted PvP with purpose I would go play EvE or even RS. WoW World PvP is just being a dick for no purpose over and over and instanced is not even a part of the MMO its basically a side game tacked onto the experience.

From day 1 the plan should have been to release new land where clans can own land and PvP each other for resources and map control. Modern MMOs have completely lost the plot with their instanced bullshit. It is not a MMO feature and never should never be included.

It's mild hyperbole.
You're missing the point that the crowd control gameplay is simply much richer in World of Warcraft. You can't deny it. All you can do is point at the lower difficulty level and claim it doesn't matter, which I never argued.

It's nice of you zoomers to expose yourself so easily. You can't mount in Booty Bay in vanilla, but you can in the classic version right now, it is wrong.

9 max damage non-crit on the mace. warriors gain 2 melee attack power per strength point. at level 10 a warrior has 27 strength. so that's 54 attack power which increases your base DPS by 1 for every 14 attack power. that's 4 damage from strength attack power. for a total 13 max non-critical damage on a mining mallet. heroic strike at rank 2 which he got at level 8 adds 21 damage to the strike. so max he could hit for would be 34. he hit for 25.

>lvl 13-14 casters doing 50 damage per cast
What did people say about Classic being undertuned?

BUT MY LVL 1-5 EXPERIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

t. caster
I will enjoying one shotting you.

woah, watch the negativity ladies, who shit in your bowl lmao.
i hate the new wow and sharding as much as the next guy and i'll be the first fucker to quit if they implement layering badly, but let's just wait and see before crying wolf here.

Why isn't this post more popular?
This is fucking awful. It ruins the fun an MMO could have to begin with.

GTFO-DILATE you weirdo fuck
Trans are humanoid abominations and they should be treated like such

>gank someone

>"layer hop" to another layer

>they never are seen again

vanilla, you say

because it's the demo at an extreme situation that never happened even in the demo.

You have no idea the complexity of doing either of the tasks in your first statement.

You can invite a friend to layer hop etc. I just don't have any hope for nu-blizzard

You have every right to believe what you do. Just not ingame. ;^)

You say that to me on the server and you will be banned. I say that's a fair trade. Try me.

you have no idea what you're talking about

So this tech has never been implemented but why would they even consider it in the first place? Instances/channels is one of the things that makes Korean grinders garbage.

Play a different server. Get your cancerous sharding out

Based. That will help tremendously for leveling my priest

Ok retard. Point me to said animations.

I knew I was a fool to have hope again

Well that’s really all it is in real life too

But it did happen, I can see it

I guarantee I have a better idea than you

Lol what kind of faggot plays an MMO ALONE

Google retail wow animations you sped

watch any video or stream on youtube. I know you cant tell that the animation looks different because you haven't played since BC (i.e more than 10 years). I've been playing the game off and on since 2004 and instantly noticed that the animations (for example, the orc axe swing or the priest smite illumination animation, both from retail/not vanilla-like)

the webm is from the closing hour of the demo when everyone online decided to gather in one spot.

you would only notice sharding in the demo when you grouped with other people not in your shard generally. This type of sharding in the webm isn't in the current beta at all.

He is lying the animations are the same.

Ugly boring faggots?
>But user, they aren't shilling, they rip on blizzard
They're shilling, fuck off with that shit

You can tell it’s a great feature because the #1 defense for it is that it’s going to be removed lmao

Yeah same as retail. There's been multiple animation updates over the years

Months away and the retail cucks are already seething beyond belief, it's remarkable.

Thats is the blizzcon demo
layering =/= sharding
no matter what blizzard does people will complain. What do you want to do wait 3 hours in queue on launch day?

Its supposedly going to be used in the initial launch of the game to eliminate queues and to help reduce the amount of players in areas of the map so you wont have 200 players trying to get one quest done. I dont think it should be implemented past the first week personally but thats not looking to be the case.

>layering =/= sharding
As far as that video goes, it's the EXACT same thing. Shut up if you don't have any clue what you're talking about.

>I know you cant tell that the animation looks different because you haven't played since BC
No dipshit. I played Vanilla so fucking much that I would be able to pick up if anything looked different and nothing is different.

Who the fuck cares about you piece of shit, you will play alliance in a goldshire-like server that is the containment for the mentally handicapped tragic person.

Kek this

I guarantee you don’t

And that was from November. Seven months ago.

>no matter what blizzard does people will complain
People are right to complain. Noone asked for changes. Majority just want to play vanilla as it was back then.

No, Fuck no. It shouldn't be implemented at all. Overcrowded launches are part of the fun and as annoying as they are, queues and overpopulated areas are good indications that a game's population is thriving.

And you can't read.

Idiot who also can't read. "Layering" or whatever the fuck they want to call it does the exact same thing as the sharding we see in that video. Be in one instance, join someone's party, magically teleport to another instance. You are retarded.

Yes I really enjoyed the instability, hacks, server crashes, and hour long queues muh true vanilla experience

Can I resub to retail yet, or is it still not fun?

I had my doubts...if they dont change this ill just leave

That's irrelevant, this feature is identical in the context of the video. You can still hop to different shards or "layers" by having a friend invite you, or probably you can use an addon for it too.

Honestly I don't have the heart to bully you further, blizzard tugged at your nostalgia and how much we all just want to go back, you have to accept that the past is the past as much as it hurts to move on, they fucked you

ok bud. You asked for said examples and I just pointed to two said examples and you chose to ignore that. why dont you go find said examples on youtube and compare them side by side

D-delete this post..

>I know you cant tell that the animation looks different because you haven't played since BC

Why would a person that only played vanilla/tbc not be able to notice that the animations from that period aren't there

Why not just go ahead and add flying for 1g on lvl 10 and lfr?

You mean to imply server infrastucture has evolved since vanilla? Wow man, I'm sure there's no way to do an MMO launch without sharding!

Honestly I can't think of a single big MMO that didn't have servers issue on launch.

Exactly. But it's a whole lot less issues than back 15 years ago. So don't cripple the entire fucking game with this sharding BS for literally months. No one wants this garbage.

Why are people saying stuff about infinite mana? What's going on now?

At least as far as this current test seems to go, the 5 second rule isn't here and you just regen mana while casting.

retail will never be fun

yea one. good luck finding a group that will let you be the only one

8.2 will probably help, but the game is dead at its core.

They are way more abilities in EQ

>why would someone forget something from 10 years ago

wow, really makes you think huh

try this retard: as I already directed you here , find a video with a priest casting smite on a target from vanilla and from the wow classic beta. compare them side by side and tell me they are exactly the same

Sharding, literally. Really exactly the same as it is in most MMOs.

>Blizzard 2017 We are gonna re-make the game again from scratch
>Blizz 2018 fuck it we just throw 7.3.5 patch with some restrictions because we dont want to waste more money on this shit fuck u

And what they should've done from the get go

>Wanting to make your world seem vastly less populated than it actually is.
But why, though?

Classic is truly dead.
fucking sucks.

it's like the channel system in maplestory except you cant choose yoru channel and you automatically go to your party leaders channel if you join a party

they are LITERALLY not using vanilla code.

this is BFA but with all the non vanilla content cut out. this is why sharding is in, they can't get rid of it.

it also means all the vanilla gameplay/bugs are gone.

>watch Orc stream
>overhead swing, backhand swing, backhand swing with stab
>all literally the same exact shit
I'm convinced you're just making shit up now.

how come people who post 'ahahahaha' are always lying or retarded?

it's clearly not intended. I would be very surprised if it wasn't fixed after this beta.

They are using the source data from vanilla with modern infrastructure, blizzcon panel covered this

vanilla had no sharding shit

>this is why sharding is in, they can't get rid of it.
Retail RP servers have no sharding. Shut up you fucking retard.

I already knew this response was coming. you think by saying "bro I saw this and I remember this, ur wrong" is proving a point? I told you to find a comparison side by side from vanilla and the demo. how much of a brainlet are you to not comprehend that

>inb4 'you find it' or 'i'm not wasting my time'

Glad blizzard decided to DAB on Alex tier autists with some changes.

It'll be fun and truly comfy to game without them, though they'll most likely sub because their own addiction won't let them ignore the Ultimate Fresh

RP?

so it's turned off cause of RP reasons, all other servers have CRZ shit.
