Zoomer detected. Don't worry bro you'll always be at /home/ on retail, it's there for you.

Whats the big deal about this game. I watched asmongold play it and heres what I saw
>barren landscapes
>the most barebones/basic class system I have ever seen
>an annoying and lengthy leveling process
>no interesting storyline or compelling characters/npcs

I get that this is a game that people grew up with and can appreciate its attraction for them. But once nostalgia wears off, what will keep people playing?
As someone who likes mmos but never touched WoW, I feel like this game offers nothing that any other modern title accomplishes 10 times more effectively.

>I watched asmongold
my condolences, user

so what mmos do you like then?
better not be fucking söywars 2

Why do people still post the nostalgiafag perspective on classic when a multi billion dollar game company's marketing department has deemed it profitable to rerelease a game thats 15 years old--as though the incredible success of private server after private server, and blizzards legal actions taken against the haven't put this stupid idea to bed yet? Vanilla WoW was a brilliant, timeless game and people will keep playing it just like people keep popping in their other favorite games to replay and replay so long as the lights are on and there's enough other people to support it

Admit it. Vanilla is timeless.

Mage is my spirit class, my girlfriend always goes resto Druid and my other buddy likes tanking, which lets us support the fourth guy's love for enhance shammy. We roll around scooping up a fifth dps and steamroll dungeons whenever the lads are all online. Normally we trade off between horde and alliance but for classic we're all feeling like going alliance because aesthetics. What's your plan bro?

Where do I sign up please.

Putting aside the asmongold bit, classic wow is the perfect balance of difficulty and grind for a MMO. It's one of those things that's hard to quantify, but it's just... perfect.
Or as near to perfection an MMO can be. The right set of classes, the right set of races, enough content and zones, the right amount of cooldown between fights.
I'm old, I had just finished with uni when WOW came out. I had already played several mmos previously (EQ, AO, AC), have played probably 3/4ths of all MMOs since WOW and I still want to play original WOW the most.

It was pretty comfy, let me list a few key things I remember, all of this was on Lights hope so classic might change some shit.
Use ret aura, we often did massive aoe pulls just to piss mages off and the reflect damage was usually about 15% of our total damage
Level 20 is a big power spike, use the warriors charge to judge SoCommand for the bonus damage to stunned targets. For single target pulls you could in theory do this till 60 but the mana cost starts getting retarded by 40+.
At level 40 keep blessing of light on the warrior and wisdom on the pal and you will never have downtime. Down rank holy light/flash of light as needed and they get the full +healing bonus of BoL. ~270 healing at level 40 for 35 mana.
If you can sang some 40+ greens with MP5 for cheap its real nice on the paladin.

As for the warrior, just level as you would normally. If you are aoeing pulls, which you should be since the paladin has borderline infinite mana, sweeping strikes cleave and whirlwind get retarded.

What MMO have you played with a better class system?

Dwarves in general are okay, fem humans and night elfs get killed on sight.

You’d get banned for doing that nowadays

I was looking forward to this until they decided to do a fucking 3 month open beta.

So a bunch of faggot streamers like sodapoppin can play the game for three months establish guilds, and get sick of it again all before any of us get to play.

The hype is dead, the decision to do this beta is the nail in the coffin. Any other opinion is delusional.

What are the most laid-back dps classes for Classic?
Would guessing hunter be right? They're easy to farm gold with, have little competition with drops and don't scale very well anyway meaning they have somewhat low gear dependance, and on most bosses they supposedly go AFK and auto-shoot?
I don't mind kiting so it has no impact on the laidbackness.

>Game comes out at the end of summer
Blizzard is fucking retarded. Every day that passes I consider playing less because I don't want to waste $15 a month on a decade old game

the basic jist of layering is that its going to fragment the server hypothetically.
theyre tricking the server to allow more people to be capable of logging in at once to the server, then once either A. hype simmers down or B. server pop becomes stable, they'll redirect XYZ resources to the servers that do/dont need it and remove layering

it's just a very rudimentary gauging system for player count in the first 30-60 days

You are correct. However, it's unclear how layers will be filled and in what order. For example, to prevent the 101th person from being alone in his own layer, it is more likely that it works like this:

>player 1 joins layer 1
>player 2 joins layer 2
>player 3 joins layer 3
>player 4 joins layer 1
>player 5 joins layer 2

So that each layer's population stays the same. However, this presents a problem of how many layers they should use, because they would need to have that number pre-determined.

Either way, it's much better than sharding.

Only if you're currently subscribed to retail.

Because you aren't killing no more than three mobs at a time and even then its a unnecessary feature that shouldn't be brought up in classic.

I'm glad. The old menu was trash. And now I don't have to get addons to keep my map from covering the whole screen.

Remember the outrage about removing flying? And now people think a version without flying is going to be massively popular? Homefags are truly deluded, if only I knew how to escape reality as well as them.

Classic WoW team hasn't lied yet

So with the way layering works, where you essentially have multiple 3k realms within one realm that merge when the population dwindles.

How does this solve the problem of 500 players in one starting zone? are they going to have sharding as well as layering?

Back in the day on my server there were only 2 guilds doing Naxx consistently, about 10 doing BWL and over 40 doing MC, so it depends what your goal is.
People are looking for competent players even if they are undergeared so I don't think starting late will be an issue.

Need a source on that chief. They never explicitly said that.

What the fuck is sharding?

well since you say that how do you expect blizzard not to pull this trump card if things really are that bad? what did you expect? there was always a huge amount of people who have wanted this who don't want to play on a private server.

Big part of my fun on MMOs and RPGs is gearing up, even if its just for a couple of levels, or it is a temporal set, I love to equip good pieces of equipment on my characters.
I am planning on rolling a Shaman, and since I think they use either 1H Maces + Shield or 2H axes, I'm gonna be on the lookout for those, but I do not know what particular pieces of equipment I should be looking for.
So far I know a lot of people recommend to get the Corpsemaker and the Scarlet set, since I'm planning on leveling up as an enhancement shaman, is there any other piece of equipment/set/weapon I should look for?

They specifically said they would use sharding during the first zones to avoid having hundreds of people camping one quest mob.
This was said before layering was announced, so i guess it's safe to assume both layering and sharding will be present at launch.

I'm sorry but now that it's pretty much confirmed sharding, excuse me I mean layering, is in the game and there to stay it will be shit.

How about you spoonfeed it to me because nowhere do they flat out state that it's set in stone that sharding will exclusively be early zones

I did find other quotes though. From Lore after the blizzcon demo, us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20769548630#post-15
>We’re still looking at how we can best deliver an authentic Classic experience at launch, and in the weeks and months that follow - both in terms of gameplay and community. You won’t see phasing (which is tied to specific quests that don't exist in Classic) or cross-realm zones (which combine multiple realms together) in Classic. However, realm sharding is one of the best tools we have to keep realms stable when hundreds of players are swarming the same initial few zones and killing the same few mobs (like they will be at the launch of Classic). To that end, we do believe that some form of sharding may be helpful, especially in those early days. But we recognize that a cohesive world is critical to WoW Classic and are committed to bringing that to you.

And Ion a during a Q&A before that, youtube.com/watch?v=Q-GobXQTf6w
>The first few weeks when everybody is packed into Valley of Trials and everyone is packed into Elwynn, we think we can use sharding there in a limited, time limited, way to solve the initial launch day load problems while, making sure in the long run, as server communities solidify into a healthy population and a single world.

Healing in Vanilla is extremely different than it is in later expansions, even in BC it was drastically different, keep that in mind if you're only exposure to WoW so far has been stuff like Legion.

If you have small children, they (should) go to bed early and unless you can pay babysitters night after night to go out, MMO's are a good way to pass the time (provided your wife is into it)

Pretty sure the first no man's land area was only near the instance portal gate at darkwhisper gorge. If you took a slight detour and kept jumping upwards between an invisible wall and the mountain, you could eventually get behind the no man's land area and just run the rest of the way in as usual.

What does troll bring to the "insane chain lightning crits" equation that Tauren doesn't? Berserking is at worst just a 10% cast speed, and most of the time that buff is amazingly shitty on PvP situations.

I heard warriors aren't super interested in hand of rag anymore, is this true?

imagine paying $15 a month to play a game that was released in 2004

this, the thread generation is insane
unless you're MT/OT you can forget about it

It's nice having people that didn't play in Vanilla enjoy Classic.

I don't have to imagine it. It's less than a movie ticket and thus not a concern.

>blizzard will never pay you 5k every hour just to play / shill wow

Like you wouldnt accept these kind of bribes

You think guilds will go back to using the old DKP system or something else?

specially him as he's not holding himself out as some kind of expert on it or guru. He seems to be genuinely enjoying things in the Barrens.

I've seen legit ench shammies with it in a melee party wrecking faces.
Warriors want it badly for PvP, but if you are raiding with it - should have priority.

He's right though you retarded cuck. Retail servers go to shit with medium scale world PvP, you think they're going to put in extra effort to keep this shit from lagging by removing sharding? You incompetent blizzcuck retard.

that's true, good point. I never go to movies in the big theatres anymore so $15 on wow is better spent.

OHNONONONO AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I’ve been hearing some classes are stronger in the beta than they are on private servers because of Blizzard’s scripting. Is this true, and if so which classes are most different?

>asmongold 75k viewers
>absolute retard, hard to listen to
>esfand 7k viewers
>infinitely superior stream
i don't get it

New tactic: be the last one to log in during launch.

With layers being assigned at character creation, you can have the whole world to yourself.
>Realm 1 Layer 1 3000/3000 pop
>Realm 1 Layer 2 3000/3000 pop
>Realm 1 Layer 3 3000/3000 pop

and this is when you log in
>Realm 1 Layer 4 1/3000 pop and you get everything to yourself for the rest of classic untill they merge / remove layering.

here i'll reformat it just for you hun

How does subbing work for classic? Is there a one off purchase option? I already subbed my life away to Classic, BC, WoLtK & Cata before realizing this game was dead. I just want to play as a sub healer who has their ponytail yanked. Maybe a tank daddy would pay my sub for me? =3

Blizzard broke mana regen so all hybrid dps specs are raid viable now

you are not going to make it by being a normal streamer, gotta be retarded to get views

I hope someone caught that moment, Asmongold legitimately thought charge was usable in defensive stance

Did they really break it or did the private servers just do it wrong?

Will it be worth it to try Classic if you've never played an MMO before

thats not how it works

r3dD1t sP4cInG

stop spreading this fucking lie already

it is funny how he claims that he was a hardcore vanilla player and always tells stories about how epic he was but while playing the beta / test he shows that he has no idea about what he while asking loads of questions he should already know if he did play vanilla

>Realm 1 Layer 1 100/100 pop
>Realm 1 Layer 2 100/100 pop
>Realm 1 Layer 3 59/100 pop
Fixed your numbers, bro ;)

Nobody gives a shit.
The streamers barely know to play, Asmongold at least has the decency to not claim to be an expert.

Which layer did you guys play on back in vanilla?
For me, it was layer 4.....home....

Nope.

Yes, that was indeed the joke.

every guild that knows what they are doing will use loot council

Rogues btfo

Its been like 13 years assuming he never played on a private server, plus retail and all that soda probably fried his brain

If you can't go back in time then no. Zoomers ruin everything that MMOs are about.

>wow already recovering JUST from a BETA on twitch

Imagine how hard this game will blow once it's out.

It could be argued the only reason many of us are returning is to simply be apart of that server community. It could also be said that if they keep any long term sharding or layering, the game simply isn't going to work and we wont play it.

You think you do but you really don't. You'll soon be able to weight and realize what nostalgia is and feel.

>will babbys first mmo be a good first mmo?
gee I wonder

Hopefully, if classic is successful, blizz will unfuck retail.

It’ll definitely give you a true MMO experience. It’s very grindy and unforgiving and requires a lot of dedication, but I’d give it a shot and see if you find yourself getting immersed in it. If you’re not feeling it after a month, it’s probably not for you.

Reminder nostalgia is legit reason to like something.

retail is unfuckable no matter what, better to just hope round two goes better

>blizz will unfuck retail.
Don't think so but maybe they will build from classic again. Retail is so fucked there's no way you can fix that.

DWARF WARRIOR OR DWARF HUNTER PLEASE RESPOND

have sex

Dwarf hunter who uses guns only

Uh, yes, this is Blizzard we're talking about, user. Their BfA servers can't actually handle more than 100 players on the screen, hence why they're introducing static sharding (layering), but as a result, the "layers" will have to accommodate an equally smaller number of players. So don't be surprised when the layers turn out to be implemented on a per-zone basis, or maybe it will only allow you to see a subsection of the larger server's population randomly per-zone.
Regardless, it's going to be about

tauren casting animations look weird. troll and orc are the true chadcasters.

is this based?

Wtf, how is a warhammer pirate server able to handle over 300 people in a massive skirmish with collision on but WoW can't ?

Roleplaying as the dwarf hunter in the opening cinematic is based af

wtf is a mountain mama? so fucking stupid

if you want to play a dwarf play hunter, the human/orc weapon skill racial is by far the biggest one in the game, moreso than fear ward

Dwarf is the superior warrior for pvp

Regardless of how blizzard handles classic I just love to see that the first time in a decade anyone gives a shit about a blizzard game is when they are re-releasing WoW.

WoW COULD actually do that and did during the pre-engine overhaul that they implemented with Battle.net 2.0. For whatever reason, the developers actually broke the game and caused it to not be able to handle the output of 80+ players on the screen at once, this is why sharding was introduced. Ironically, the Blizzard servers are actually technically handling all the inputs correctly and not crashing under the weight of the many players playing at once, but the players themselves cannot see what's going on, as the server has no way of communicating the information without crapping the bed.

The gun sounds are too annoying

asmongold has 40k more viewers than ninja streaming fortnite right now if that's any indication of the popularity that Classic will have on launch.

>Layering

OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

if I'm going to tank for my friends, am I boned when it comes time for raids and I'm not one of the chosen 2-3? Did warriors DPS at all in Vanilla? I was a mage.

that would be gnome

As much as I hope for the best, you're comparing a game that launched a beta yesterday to a game that's supposedly dead or dying.

in 1.12 warrior is top dps

Why does Asmon keep pretending he played retail vanilla? He keeps saying shit like "well man i remember westfall and i know how great it is, this is a walk back in time for me man you know what i mean".
Except he wasn't there, it isn't a nostalgic journey for him, he is a wrathbaby. Nothing wrong with that, it isn't like anyone expects people to be 40 and with a wife/kids to be taken seriously regarding vanilla, but why the fuck does he make shit up? Why do so many "vanilla veterans" do that? Tips makes shit up, Alex makes shit up, it goes on and on.

Nice. I assuming with good gear you can tank 5 mans okay as a DPS spec? I don't want to have to swap specs all the time considering the cost but I'll do what I must.

pre-Cata qualifies as classic experience, triggered baby dumbass

I mean the company's creatively bankrupt, easier to remake their old classics than to make something new.
Asmongold averages 20k viewers watch ingredient youtube videos while occasionally saying "true", he's not exactly someone you want to use as aninterest scale.

Warrior dps is great and going off of private servers, many guilds stack the fuck out of them.
Regardless of your role, if you're a warrior you should expect to off-tank at times so bring a shield. And yeah, you should be tanking for your friends so you're already on the right track.
"The chosen 2 or 3" is really about having one "main" tank, and it's usually a GM's real life friend. The reason isn't necessarily pure nepotism (tho im sure that's a factor), it's more that you need someone reliable and consistent in that role and further down the line especially past AQ tank poaching is a very real thing and your real life buddy is far less likely to be poached.

'Mountain mama' ruins this song imo. Why chose such a retarded lyrics filler. Why not chose like 'West virginiaa,' round the cornaa, take me hooome'. But no, he had to chose fucking mountain mama whatever that means.

warrior is the designated tanking class and can do dungeons just fine without a single point in prot, well lvl 60 dungeons might be bit hard with "literally got 60 today" gear but you should have no problem gearing up fast.

>20k viewers watch ingredient youtube videos while occasionally saying "true"
Absolutely based. Turning on his stream now

Any impressions of layering in the beta yet or is the population still way too small?

No, it doesn't. Old zones, sure, but that's about all it has in common. Even TBC questing is drastically different as most elites are normal and most group quests are now able to be solo'd.
I'm not sure how being curious about a liar being a liar is being triggered but whatever my redditor friend.

because it's a weird form of street cred. the release of classic pretty much confirms in everyone's minds, including blizzard's, that the game has only gotten worse over time, so admitting that you started playing in any expansion other than the golden age can be seen as a mark against you in the cutthroat optics that is twitch and streaming culture.

it also gives them a sense of faux-authority since claiming to have played in vanilla means that you experienced the "true" game and thus what you say has inherently more value when it comes to talking about it since you know what it was really like. basically it's a combo of lip service and an attempt to draw on an appeal to authority. for streamfaggots you can throw in them just saying whatever the fuck for views.

They said vanilla could easily handle 80+ people at once, just that retail and in those 40v40 pally/dk etc there is just so much particle and aoe effects in comparison

>'West virginiaa,' round the cornaa,

Nice, guys. My character in the original beta was a Tauren warrior named Moosashi but that was the length and breadth of my experience.

Sounds like warrior is a plan. I'm pretty excited because while I haven't played much since MoP, I've only ever done casters.
