Why would anyone trust them?

already played it to death, nothing new to explore
3.3 to WoD period completely burned out all my love for WoW, I probably couldn't enjoy it even if they released their most mind blowing expansion right now
the general attitude of today's players
sharding
streamers
everyone will be rushing to the top, no time to enjoy the game if I ever wanted to stay relevant
no time to play
me not wanting anything to do with new Blizzard, the studio I loved is long gone

EQ was always garbage compared to wow

i played it when it released
it was ok but not so great
i have no desire to play it again

Delusional. It has the same devs than vanilla did, and it uses no sharding. Layering is very different from that and actually a good thing.

EQ was far better but it was still shit
raiding based endgames are just no good because they arent sustainable. Consumable content makes for waning interest.

Because you guys post this thread, about 20 times a day, every fucking day, for over a year

Yeah, EQ was shit. WoW is an even worse version of it. It was obviously designed with braindead cockgoblins in mind.

Nah. Wow was by far better. Trying to argue against this is pure madness.

They simply took too long to release it. It feels like it was announced over 2 years ago. Why has it taken so long? Private servers exist. Could they seriously not just release a fucking classic server? Why the unbelievably long time for release? I had hype, but it has really diminished with them taking forever to put it out.

>haven't played in almost 12 years
>urge to play WoW never went away

What the fuck would you know about good MMOs you PvE mouthbreather?

Cause I didn't even like Vanilla?

ASMONGOLD

>Private servers exist
A lot of the mechanics on private servers are fudged to what they thought was the "most appropriate" because all they had as reference were WoW wiki's, their memories, and other private servers. Blizzard has to actually put all the proper shit place, and not approximations.

I am hype. To see it flop miserably and die after 2 months.

Us Shadowbringers chads will be laughing at you.

interested, but I'll be fucking hype when they anounce a skip straight to wrath making northrend a level 60-80 zone with a fully realized Azjol-Nerub and Crystalsong forest

I already played it, why can't people see that classic wow teeming with nu-wow players isn't going to be an incredibly shitty experience? It's bad enough being forced to play with these shitters, now all the shitters are flocking to classic which will be considerably harder in all aspects. no thanks, eat shit.

I sure am hype

i would be more hype for a server that included BC, WotLK and MoP. The problem with modern WoW is changes they made to the base world and game, not the additional landmasses. Class design was also a lot better and more fun around the MoP era than it was in vanilla.

because I played the original Vanilla 15 years ago, not this cash grab remake

Blizzard is shit and I don't have time to waste on a 15 year old game that I have already experienced. Especially not for $15 a month

Friendly reminder that Classic is an entirely new game.

WoW was always dead compared to EQ.

What WoW did was basically sacrifice the mechanic-driven methods of building an mmo community (forced grouping to level and longer leveling so you actually need to hang out in a zone, chat, get to know people, encounter people in the actual game world to succeed), and replace it with a bunch of flashy scripted instances which felt really cool when first experienced but in the end just melted into the mundane and you were left with mundane world and solo questgrinding to the level cap then standing around waiting for your guild to do something after doing a few dailys.

In EQ on the other hand, someone always needed help doing something, and you could hang out in your favorite zone hotspots even if you were bored and had nothing to do. in WoW you just stood in town and watched a movie or something.

EQ was badly designed in many aspects but it at least helped build and maintain a sense of community and the world as an actual place. WoW was just a bunch of spectacles then boredom.

just stop

Classic is an easy shit version of older MMOs you fucking toddler.

1. Already played it. Already explored every zone, done every dungeon, every raid, seen and done it all.
2. There are other games I want to spend my limited time in rather than replaying one I already so extensively played.
3. The kind of people who will play it now are mostly total cancer from streamers to zoomers to twitch kids to retards all around.
4. Layers
5. They didn't even bother removing DHKs so city raids will once again be dead when phase 2 rolls out.
6. Pretty much 4 again but I just really fucking hate the entire e-celeb and e-sports wankery around it. For fuck's sake Method will literally have "racing teams" to get first lvl 60s in Classic.

It's never coming back. No matter how ''''authentic vanilla'''' or not Classic ends up being the experiences and joy you had back then can never be replicated.

And once the nostalgia wears off the panic will begin to set in.
First you will notice less travelers along the road. Getting a dungeon group takes longer. Off-peak hours turn home cities into ghost towns. Then, after the bandwagon praise died down the harsh analysis will come from critics and community heads. Next your friends one by one start logging in less, all that fervor to adventure and level to end-game starts to peter out by level 30.

It becomes harder to convince them to come online, the excuses "oh I need to spend time with the kids/wife/work" more frequent, and eventually the worst comes to pass. Your closest group of friends are online, sure, but playing a different game. Maybe the latest battle royale, maybe some other nostalgia fad or, most likely, a different MMO entirely. Probably retail WoW instead.

Once the population has dwindled to only the most die-hard then the dreaded news arrives. Classic hemorraghes subs, Classic is a failure, Blizzard says servers unsustainable, Classic WoW shutting down for good.
You thought you do, but reality is not just that you don't, but that you can't.

Not real nostalgia. Fake nostalgia.

Like playing NES games on a bootleg console on an LCD, with a different gamepad and widescreen hacks.
Nostalrius was fun for a while (I only ever got to Barrens) but I could never get into it because I knew in my soul it was bullshit.

Didn't care 15 years ago
Don't care now.

Are they going to put out a separate cheaper sub option for Classic?

I don't like the idea of paying $15 a month so they can take that entire fee and put it towards the next retail expansion and adding more junk to the cash shop.

Layering and sharding are 90% the same, just different names to avoid riling up people who want pure vanilla.

You're delusional if you unironically think they will disable "layering" after a few weeks. Lmao, their servers can't handle more than 50 people in one spot.

Meanwhile, you had 400+ people on Nost in one single zone and everything ran fine.

dekys delusional deeepshit. devs aren't a brand. they aren't really developing anything anyway.

using approximations because they don't know either. just fucking stop.

social gamers run to the latest hyped pile of shit whether it's clunky or not. you might have fun like you could any other decade+ old game with a couple hundred users on the servers but new hotness this ain't.

i'd like to say they'll go free after it crashes and burns but this is blizzard. so long as they scrape by they'll keep subs to save face.

Imagine all those retards playing Classic come August, all having their faux fun. I pity you people.

>play with chinese and russians on servers ran by corrupt gms
hmm

Your private servers are shutting down and there's nothing you can do about it. Pay the sub, cuck.

Because I’m not the same person I was back when Vanilla launched. The experience won’t be the same for me even if everything else lines up. Blizzard could do everything perfectly and the community could be perfect and I still wouldn’t enjoy it like I used to

I’ll no doubt spend the beginning fondly rediscovering all the things I’d forgotten about. But after maybe a week tops, that phase will be over. Will I still have the drive to log in after that? I have my serious doubts. Maybe I’m wrong and it’ll recapture that same feeling from all those years ago but I just don’t see it

>Why on earth aren't you hype?
Because i remember what it was like. And even though i got talked into playing a bit on pserver, it was just not good unless you just want a simpleton everquest meets farmville game.
PvP sucks, PvE is boring as fuck, grinding, more grinding, unfinished classes.
Everything people love about classic, would be considered shit in any other game. 10/10 nostalgia, but if you're not nostalgic enough it's 20/60 because that's how many levels you get before it sinks in and you quit.

Ofcourse if you don't like any PVE, any PVP and don't like any of the classes you shouldn't play it, that goes without saying.
and I haven't played it properly in 15 years but I don't remember much of any grinding, especially not compared to modern mmos (usually from the east).

>implying there will be any difference between pservers and classic

>using approximations because they don't know either. just fucking stop.
But that's just not true. Stay seething, nu-WoW zoomer.

Blizz has said that it's your own fault for streaming if you get stream sniped.

The thing is i LIKED it back in the day, but it just aged poorly. The only reason to like it is nostalgia, which is legitimate, however insisting that nostalgia makes it good is not a legitimate reason.
If you don't remember vanilla being grindy, then i'll wager you don't remember much. 1-60, professions, mounts, weekly gold farms for consumables, raiding new and old raids for months without major upgrades. That's just the outline, if you don't think it'll be grindy, you're in for a shock.
You can enjoy your nostalgia as much as you want, it doesn't make the game decent or less grindy. It's literally just OSRS for people whose parents could afford to give their kid a WoW sub.

Warriors get fun at 60 with a healer, but they will kinda suck until blue pvp set or BWL gear.
Don't go dual wield, arms + a SLOW 2hander for 1-60, use hamstring to kite mobs between 2hander swings and ability cooldowns to minimize damage taken.
Seriously you need to find a healslut to keep your health bar full, feet un-snared, and balls dry. Warrior is the worst class to level and play without gear.

I guess that could happen, or more like will happen to a lot of people. That said if I get to run SM a bunch of times and kill some people in low level AV with my warlock before I get bored it will still be worth it. At least then I know it was just nostalgia.
I'm really, really looking forward to Classic but if it turns out to be nostalgia and I don't like it in 2019 it's not the end of the world.

Good riddance furfag

Just get on lights hope, it's free. Pick the low pop server. You can get your fix, and find out if you want to get into classic in a day or two.

Yeah, the first guy had a true point, you are just plain seething.

ITS NOT GONNA BE THE SAME. STOP BEING INCEL, MOVE ON AND HAVE SEX

I have moved on, but i'm too ugly and dumb for sex. Should i just go back then?

But retail WoW was an easy way to have sex.

Didn't Lights Hope stated that they will be closing the server once Classic gets released?

Because I played it when it first came out, and it slightly got better with each expansion with all the quality of life updates.

I don't have time to no life it

Huh didn't know that. Any way unless you're going to commit to 60 and just want to test it out, then it's still good.

Because it's no longer 2004?

I just want to kill low level people trying to quest all day or be a warlock summoning doomguards.

yes, you'll get banned if you are discovered.

Honestly it might be worth it to just go Rogue for the sole purpose of ganking and stream sniping.

never played wow before is why
but if I did paladin or warrior looks like my stuff

I've already played that shit years ago and nu-Blizz is guarenteed to fuck it up.

Because I'm not so desperate for a game that I will ride on nostalgia like some boomer who reminisces about his high school football days. People will just drop it in two weeks after they find out that it's not the same game they remember. Streamers even said they're just doing it the easy money bandwagon.

Layering is just sharding that only instance you with people from your server. It'll still poof people in and out of the game. It's sharding, and it's never going away.
Mage is piss easy, all you have to do is hold on to defensive cooldowns. In PvE all you have to do is cast frostbolt.
Shammy can heal for gear, and then turn Ele once you have BWL/AQ40 gear and instadelete a few enemy dues every few minutes when you have cooldowns, and then be a healbitch while you wait for them to come back.
Mage is unironically the best PvP class, warriors are only OP if nobody CC's them and their pocket healers, mages kick ass and get money.
Shamans are shit, but deleting people with chain lightning is fucking badass, sick burst, but you'll be a dumb healslut betacuck outside of BG's. And that's how most will think of you anyway.

I like to press more buttons than 2

Then playing Vanilla is a dumb move, you will hate it. Also Warrior is HORRIBLE to level, unless you have a healer buddy with you at all times. It will be a LONG and HARD road to get gear, and you wont be a badass until post BWL(a phew phases in, and then several months of farming it). Paladin is boring as fuck, and you will always be a healslut, hope you like wearing dresses because ret and prot are old and tired memes that were never funny.

EQ is the only mmo that managed to get fear of the environment, and exploration right.

Same reason I dropped WoW back in Pandaria.

never said I would play

> haven't played it properly in 15 years but I don't remember much of any grinding,

Yeah, the fact that you havent done something in 15 years is largely the reason you dont remember the grind

Because while the design philosophies of the game were fantastic, the actual spec designs were absolutely horrendous. That's why BC was better - it still had the same design philosophies (as well as some more good ones) but had massively improved, though still not perfect, spec designs.

Jesus christ you're retarded

because im an adult now, who dont want to waste my adulthood playing video games

I hope you have fun with your game my man
Might be cool and fun

I never played vanilla wow but I'm surely gonna give it a try. I'll probably make a human priest.

What is blizzards official stance on multi-boxing?

I know it is forbidden on the free private servers because you can make unlimited accounts etc etc.

But Blizz doesn't really care as long as I pay them 2x the money right?

Just make new friends, jfc. If private servers were popular enough to have a community, I'm sure there'll be enough people on the official server to sustain at least one server. If your old friends don't want to play, just join a guild that does.

And if HotS is still up, I'm sure Classic WoW will be safe.

Could be, Overwatch and Hearthstone players are leaving in droves, and their Twitch numbers are heavily inflated by viewbots. HoTs and Diablo are dead unless they succeed at mobileshit.
WoW is the last franchise that people have ANY hope for, after the Classic boom fades absolutely NO ONE will care about retail, and it will ruin the normie hype for TBC Classic(best xpac represent fight me bish).
Blizzard is being broken down for parts by Activision-Chinkcent, they will never make a new big game, they will never do anything creative again. WoW classic is the last big thing they have in the bag.

Classic isn't going to flop. WoW is one of the biggest names in video games and everyones said vanilla was the best since fucking cata. Hyper normies will flood into classic and classic will be the main source of WoWs subs which isn't hard to do since they're sub 1 mil now.
Classic will be blizzards biggest money maker now, they just need to do something like OSRS and it will perpetually make money.

You had to press more than 5 buttons with every single class. Your meme failed

Normies playing is unironically a good thing, they keep games from being srs bzns where you need an exact race/class/spec/gear to even be considered for a raid.
Layering is trash, no argument there.
As bad as Blizz devs usually are, they'll be holding back. Each sub is $15/mo, so they have an incentive to not ban people. Meanwhile, private servers would ban you just because they felt like it, on top of letting gold farmers run loose and selling power-ups.

source?

I'm assuming you're talking about pvp because in pve everything is easy.

Out of those 3, the one with the highest skill ceiling is mage, though it also has a fairly low skill floor. It's not particularly hard to be an effective mage, but reaching the top requires a lot of practice. You're squishy but your toolkit is very versatile. Positioning is very important, you need to know how to properly utilize your defensive tools and not waste them on unnecessary things.
Warlock is very strong 1v1 once geared but the gameplay is mindless for the most part. 1v1 your gameplay revolves around dots and fear, in group pvp fear and burst. Skill ceiling is on the lower end. Skill floor is a bit higher up because retards get confused by too many buttons.
Shaman I don't have that much personal experience with it, but it's definitely easier than mage.

because I've done all this before. I'm not going to do it again, and sure as fuck not for 15 bucks a month to play an ancient mmo

Its not back in the day anymore bruv, no one is gonna be buying gold

Classic won't last 3 months. There is only so long people can press the same 2 buttons in 2019

That is based on the assumption that Classic will continue to be popular, i'm sure it will be with the hardcore vanilla fags, but for everyone else, getting to 60 and doing molten core and onyxia once will be enough.
It'll be a big boom, and then a steep decline. Once the streamers get bored with it, a shit ton of hype will disappear too, don't underestimate how much they influence the eternal zoomer.

because vanilla is trash and I won't play it

>getting to 60 and doing molten core and onyxia once will be enough.
like it was enough for 14 years of WoW doing same thing?

I wonder how much staying power this healslut shit has.
It's entirely a result of the current braindead support paradigm in assfaggots/shooters. All of these faggots wouldn't even be able to heal WC.

go back to 3 button bfa then

classic will die when the new expac comes out

They have no problems with multiboxing as long as you're actually controlling all characters simultaneously by broadcasting the same key press to each one. So basically as long as you're not botting.

>two buttons
it literally is though

False equivalence, it's not like people have been doing vanilla content, with it's busted broken unbalanced classes and other nonsense. It's 7 expansions past that in retail a lot has changed for better or worse.
I don't think it has anything at all to do with assfaggots/shooters. Being a healbitch has always been a MMO meme, men DPS, women heal. So man up or put on something pretty for your party.

it's literally never been an MMO meme because until WoW women didn't really fucking play them, and even then they were still rare, just less rare than they had been

How many times you need to be bamboozled to learn? The only way I would give a crap about it if it gone the runespace route thus it would be vanilla+.

because once you get even a bit of gear, you'll rape people often enough for it to be extremely fun. especially if you're not trash.

do world pvp where you just look for opportunities to shit on people. you're looking at the game wrong if you can't find something fun to do that also pisses someone off.

id rather do it on retail, at least the gameplay isnt boring

I was young when EQ came out, only 12-13. I had several friends that played it also and we had a blast. Best gaming experience of my life. I was reading through Lowtax's old articles a while ago and came across some about EQ and he roasted the game pretty good. I could see where he was coming from, but it made me reflect on how different my perception of the game was at the time than his was. I think if you come in to an MMO being cynical, you are sure to find the disappointment you're looking for.

ok you're free to do that. it's not nearly as fun but that's your prerogative.

how old are you? there was none of this even a decade ago. it's entirely a result of the role becoming useless as the other user said

>retail, at least the gameplay isnt boring
I'm really glad people like you are contaminated to retail.

I hope you're not expecting the arrogant shitheads of Yea Forums to exhibit some semblance of self-awareness.

>it's another Yea Forums thinks they know what games are failing

I played both vanilla and current wow and vanilla was by far the version of the game with the most boring gameplay

Cope. All specs have at least 6 buttons. That is 3 times as many as vanilla

It's funny remembering back to how every other MMO fanbase gave WoW shit for being so casual.

Now those are forgotten and vanilla WoW is considered hardcore.

dunno son, all healers I knew were hardasses.
One guy was a department chief, the other worked in construction. They could say " attention" and raid would listen.
It was during bc/wotlk though, healing was harder back then, wotlk was hardest to heal from what I remember.
I tried healing in legion when I returned for a little, it was pretty boring. I can see how people don't really care for healers these days.

I remember people making fun of healers for being effeminate since Star Wars Galaxies. Maybe you don't remember, or maybe your circle of friends didn't judge you for loving cocks, but it WAS and IS a thing.

Will Shaman or Priest be more rare on the Horde side?

sure, but they all play the same with same resources and mechanics only animations and names are changed

oh you didn't actually play the game and your opinion is invalid? i see

Lemme guess, you also cleared naxx got r14 and multi r1 glad on top of that? And your name is Athene?

I did and my opinion is valid
slow gameplay

priests are always rare
it's acquired taste class.

He was much better in the past. Even in Vanilla he was a good player, not just "for the time because everybody was bad". He was still competitively relevant in PVP metas much more difficult than Vanilla until recently.
Age deteriorates him. Only a fucking zoomer without a clue could disrespect something as humbling as he is now. You will experience the same as you grow older, when your his age try to remember the time you shat on him (your brain won't be able to). Its even more saddening because of how much emphasis he put on healthy lifestyles back in the day. The first actual gamer to grow popular and incorporate health and fitness into his fanbase. Probably broke thousands of people out of their clicker/keyboard turning comas introducing them to competitive techniques. Only big WoW streamer I would be fine with letting my kids watch.

no, he didn't play shit and has no legs to stand on in this.

why would I play a shit game for so long

You have less, but pay the same price. Honestly it's fucking dogshit, however it seems it will be quite popular thing and Blizz might made a bank from literally nothing. If they announce other expansions too, im not gonna play them either, because I can do that for free on pserv anytime and im not autist enough to care for number here and there or small bug. You cant relive your past. Wake up. However im jealous for the fags that enjoy this unironically.

Good* Priests. There will be a plague of UD priest shitters who simply rolled their class for shadow memes.

i don't play mmos for displaying skill or "fast gameplay." take up a fighter or a shooter if you want to do that. not to move the goalposts but i wasn't contending that mmos had fast gameplay from the beginning, only that your opinion doesn't have enough experience to make it a valid one.

I play arcane mage tho

lying to yourself is an important part of happiness in life. just look at religious people. maybe you wouldn't be so cynical if you lied to yourself, user.

weird question, do you know why vanilla 1.12.1 client goes black screen when I go windowed?
it works, doesn't crash, but picture is gone
if I don't move mouse and click on windowed again it goes back same with desktop gamma option

Either you're a projecting faggot, or you're just lying. Everyone replying to you is telling you are wrong, and it's very simply to see why: you don't want some retarded faggot playing the only role that if you stop paying attention for a few seconds, everyone dies. Once your tank has aggro, they can go afk. Your DPS can go dilate and half the people won't even notice. Heals stop and people have to run back, and that leaves an impression.

Priests aren't rare, and if you believe strawpolls(not just from here either) then priests are as popular as any class.
Trolls are ugly niggers, anyone with taste would roll a femdead priest. And healing is piss easy, you can literally have any half-decent priest spoonfeed you which ranks to use and what to decurse, and you're set.

Its not about reliving your past, maybe that's the problem you're having. It's about playing (newer) content from blizzard. I really enjoyed playing vanilla when it came out, but I don't remember it vividly enough to think of re-playing it as a duplicate experience. I'm excited to go through older content again.
Pservers all suck, I've played many and none have been really good, even when you join a guild and set yourself up in a community. It doesn't have the same feel.

>gameplay is more engaging if I have to press two buttons to use my basic stab instead of one
do you people have cerebral palsy, or something?

It was you and one other guy, i'm just one of the people who can actually remember more than just a hazy picture of the games we're discussing here, maybe because i wasn't fucking 12 when it took place.
And now retail tanks are the gold standard we compare to when discussing whether this meme is older than a decade? You're an idiot, go dilate, have sex, and grow up, crypto-zoomer.

you just told everyone that you made it to a "level between 50 and 60" meaning you didn't play majority of vanilla meaning your opinion is invalid.

I don't like WoW or MMOs. If they never had a subscription back when it first released, maybe I would

why would i be

it is valid because 55 or 60 doesnt change shit, you still have the same number of spells and the gameplay is still boring as shit

>actually getting butthurt that no one takes you seriously
lel

Anarchy Online isn't more "hardcore", it's more tedious. Most of that extra shit gets in the way of proper gameplay more than anything else.

Swifty is the perfect reflection of vanilla. Just because it was good back then doesn't mean its good now. He shills hard, thinks he still matters, and tries his best to compete, where its obvious he can't, but his devoted fans circlejerk around and do everything to put him on a pedestal and polish him to make it worth more than it actually does simply for others.

Do you think it would be possible to reset all raids that came out(not time walking scaling bullshit)?
basically have DPS check bosses at each raid of every expansion so you wouldn't be able to progress without gear from previous expansion. Making all raids relevant, not catch up mechanic. I'm asking if it's technically possible, I know nobody would do that.

Yeah because those MMO had on average 10k players and every shitter like who pretends to be an oldschool MMO gamer is either a zoomer LARPer or some faggot who plays an """MMO""" like BfA/FFXIV and is scared of a real MMO killing his garbage game.

this guild is just one example of it

What if SwoleBenji lead a Yea Forums and /vg/ guild? He's lead a 1000+ member guild in Cata before that was hugely successful.

He's not a Raid Chad so if you're into raiding and leading raids you can totally do that and he wouldn't fuck with you in the slightest.

He is a PvP Chad so if you're into that you and him could do some epic in-game trolling.

He's the most Chad'est person here so you wouldn't have to worry about cliques forming like all the other wannabe Discord groups popping up around here. (Believe me, I've checked them. The second you step into their parlor you get targeted by the blue pilled incels to the point the Discord madmin bans you from all the main rooms.)

There would be some rules to the guild though, and if you have a problem with them you wouldn't be welcomed. It is a rule set for all good vidya guilds to follow:
- No Women (Grill gaymo's ruin guilds and a sense of brotherhood. Get your e-girl pussy elsewhere.
- No little kids (Immaturity, lack of availability, brings groups down through lack of development.)
- No trannies (Hormones are out of whack.)
- No old people (Unless they're really based and redpilled of course. We don't need oldcucks trying to be our dads.)
- No homos. (Hormones out of whack.)

I've done similar things with Yea Forums in the past. There WILL be third worlders / poo-in-the-loo's / dark nigs / Mexicunts / Amerifags / Europoors as those are the MAJORITY of people that post here.

You'd be free to say / do whatever the fuck you want and not worry about a /gkick (even if you ninja loot randos, say the N word, grief and troll daily) and you'd have a bunch of based bros to play / raid with, assuming people are on board. You'd have a Discord where you'd never be kicked / muted / banned for being autistic. You'd absorb redpills and other manly things from SwoleBenji and would become based and redpilled simply by proxy.

that faggot may be a larper , but what he's stating is true . the game is a casual magnet that created its own circlejerk of casual fags thinking its a hardcore mmorpg experience. ultima online is the peak of the genre and also proved the genre is a failure , because gamers themselves ruin the world-game for themselves and everyone else. This is valid for most multiplayer games to be fair.

It's going to be great.

how long until you stop playing because mommy wont pay for your sub?

Kinda late but the new Elysium server seems okay. Launched 2 months ago and while the pop isn't as massive as Northdale, at least you won't constantly get your asshole shredded apart by bored 60s

For an AP Frost mage, should I get frost talents first or arcane talents first?

welcome to 2019 and the vanilla experience, glad i am staying out of it and i hope it dies

You can play classic WoW right now if you want. For free.

just play retail its the exact same game

100% a zoomer retard burn out, no ged, sounds like a 17 year old, and uses a name like 'swolebenji' so you know he's a fat fuck that recently started going to the gym

funniest thing about this post is talking about swolebenji in third person then
>I've
>We'd

lmao good one swolebenji

I couldn't handle how boring and singeplayer leveling was in vanilla so I doubt that going back is going to make that and the mind numbing boredom that is instanced dungeons any better.

Wotlk was better in every possible way, nostr baby

He has old world rares he can AH for gold to buy tokens for his entire guild / besties.

I'd say play with SwoleBenji so he'll pay for your sub.

He can't. Anyone save that brainlet image post of him trying to mental math basic algebra?

reminder you can and should report posts for advertising/begging

In retail you can autoattack and stay in all mechanics, then get mythic loot.
In vanilla you instantly die to all mechanics, need to actually do deeps and probably would never get loot anyway.

Idk if I should play or not

When you are 40% and 56% at the same time

Good thing the bosses don't have any mechanics

there's a lot of work and effort put into wow classic that costs blizzard money
but they know they'll get it back

it doesnt invalidate my point, there's still more mechanics
no one plays on normal difficulty anyway because you can get better gear in m+ dungeons

This is so based. I am so glad someone like you has the balls to make these vids.

Nice tanking btw.

I never understood this kind of delusion. Retail (or BFA I should say at this point) is garbage because of homogenization, forced grind and intentional gatekeeping to make you feel like you are doing something, when in reality you are just filling artificially locked bar. Raid mechanics and maybe rotations are not the issue of retail, far from it. Although some might argue that rotations are retarded mechanic created to appease ADHD children.

Because I'm not 12 years old anymore. Fucking cringe at all these boomers on twitch trying to relive their childhood (imagine the highlight of your youth being playing this soul sucking Jewish game) by playing classic wow.

Just yikes.

Vanilla-WoW embraced an era of socialist values for the community. Certain classes were very difficult to play alone, certain classes played different roles, it made for better group and socal content.

Classic-WoW will embrace modern values, it is less about the community and more achieving artifical 'metric' numbers. This mob-mentality is what killed Retail with 'end-game' radiing among hardcore gamiong circles instead of just -having fun-.

I really old school G-mod (not this youtube shit like TT and Prop Hunt) but just fucking about.

Tl;dr - Not hyped becuase WoW playerbase is completely different, addons will spoil it, and the streamer phenomenon.

Holy fuck this is embarrassing, you do this same shit every time you post. Do you think that one day everyone is going to stop hating you? It's not gonna happen. You're an obnoxious cunt and constantly attention whoring and samefagging just makes everyone hate you even more. There is no person on this entire website who likes you. Is there any reason why you keep trying to make people like you despite everyone telling you to fuck off everytime you post? Is it a mental illness?

I think he just honestly believes that being a sockpuppet retard is entertaining. It takes a concentrated effort to remain this oblivious to the fact that nobody cares about anything he does

People arguing about how much they prefer classic over retail in chat all day is exactly how I remember it being 15 years ago though

The game itself is not bad, but I highly doubt it can stand its ground now. People changed and the mentality is completely different now.

That you’d animu obsessed whales that would find blizzard with their obsessional personalities have moved on and that spells the death note for Blizzard Entertainment?

Yeah we all know.

>perma banned for saying nigger or wrongthink
And whats the problem?

Because I played it already, multiple times. This is only going to be SLIGHTLY better than nostalrius.

It's classic. Not BC.
Why'd I be hyped?

I'm tired of remasters. WoW, Halo, Runescape, CoD, FF7.

Remasters are good and all that but I play them more than current games. 15 years and devs can't figure out how to improve their game or make a new good one?

>10k queues
great idea

When they announced it like 2 years ago, I was hyped as fuck.
But by now, I hardly care anymore. Why even announce it so far ahead? As if I didn't know: they needed at least one interesting announcement at Blizzcon. Nu-Blizz can't plan past the current business year because it's run by bean counters who get paid by the current year's result, not long term success and who change companies all the time after their short term strategies give them 2 good year bonuses, but before profits start to plummet due to their terrible effects on the long term (firing senior developers for being expensive, reducing new features for being expensive, scaring away long time players in favor of a short influx of normies who won't stay long, but generate massive short term profits etc).

I really hope this cancer dies out before it infects and kills every single major gaming company.

Male dwarf holy pally for both pve and pve
Male troll 30/0/21 shaman for both pve and pve
I look forward to being support so I can help everyone else do better :)

because I'm now a bitter jaded 30 year old boomer instead of a 16 year old who's playing his first MMO

joined a launch server and it was fine through TBC when I stopped playing
What's wrong with actual servers, without making your own problems?

Because ActiBlizz has disappointed me too many times in the past.

Healsult meme was made on /vg/
No one but autistic people from Yea Forums and reddit think its true.
I have been a support caster since EQ and have always played support and heals if I have too, it has never been seen as a beta bitch thing to support or heal. The GMs gf and beta people always played hunter

It's just a /vg/ meme m8

>join normal pop server
>no queues
>enough people for the next 4 years

based retard, you never played retail back then, like I said, kill yourself.

I'm going to create a guild on the streamer's server and fuck with them

People seem to forget what wasn't fun about this game.
>spending 15 minutes on a kill quest that should take 2 minutes because all the mages and warlocks are tagging everything in sight
>they won't group with you because they don't need your help
>90% of gameplay is just walking around waiting to get where you're going
>raids are mostly spent trying to get 40 people together, then running back in ghost because 1 or 2 people made a simple mistake or just got unlucky
>raid for weeks and get absolutely no gear
>people constantly jumping ship from your guild after they get bored, taking raid loot with them that is essentially wasted now
I could go on but for me, this is why I stopped playing.

Well I tried to get into a pserver but things are different now. The people who play this game now don't have this slow take your time mentality, but rather how to get from A to B as fast as possible. The people very rarely talk, and only group up when it comes to a mandatory quest then disband. I didn't felt that organic and living at all. It felt like you put a lot of modern MMO players who already have the knowledge needed. The younger generation was raised on these queue matchmaking simulators will definitely leave, and those who were active in the golden age, will be bored as fuck, people usually quit around lvl30 because this is where the game becomes incredibly tedious and that drive to push further vanishes.

Classic unironically has more abilities per class on average than retail.

Yeah I can see what you mean. Add to that the fact that the game is pretty much solved at this point, from leveling to gearing to raiding, I can't see it having much staying power after the final content patch

please start using a tripcode, so I can filter your posts

Having more abilities is quite meaningless if you don't use them user (see x-bolt spam or the great mechanic of 16 debuf slots). Or they really do nothing special at any point and you always use them in the same way (xiv 1-2-3 combo shit).

I’m personally really excited for ShadowBringers. My old friend from elementary school started playing with me about two months ago and we’ve been able to reconnect of friends in a big way because of it.
Just finished all the MSQ for Stormblood and now we’re just leveling alt jobs and crafters. It’s been fun as fuck.

I grew out of it and MMO's.
