WoW Classic afraid of Twitch Streamers

>"A handful of popular streamers like Sodapoppin, Asmongold, Dafran, and Esfand are among those who can play, and they’re already the most visible presences in the beta. Some prospective players have gone so far as to swear off so-called “streamer servers” entirely. This largely stems from concerns that once WoW Classic is properly live, streamers’ fans will constantly mob them, obliterate everyone else in PVP through sheer numbers, overwhelm in-game economies, and generally make toxic nuisances of themselves."

>"As a result, some are worried that streamers will throw endless armies of fans at PVP, bosses, progression, economies, and more, monopolizing WoW Classic in a way that’s simply not possible in WoW as it is now. The Wild West feeling of early WoW, they fear, will be trampled by streamers immediately grabbing the spotlight and refusing to let go."

>"Sodapoppin proposed a controversial plan to discourage stream-sniping shenanigans in WoW Classic: a Horde and Alliance “blacklist.” He prefaced his idea by saying that he wishes people would just treat him like an anonymous player, but that’s not happening. And while he thinks it’s fine to kill streamers, he said that if somebody is obviously stream sniping—for example, moving exactly where he’s moving while stealthed—then they’ll get added to his list."

>"“I’ll take that person, and I’ll say, ‘OK, blacklist this person,’” he said. “My friends on the Alliance or other streamers don’t play with this person. They are never allowed in anything that the actual good guilds on the Alliance are doing. They are blacklisted. And it’s vice-versa as well. So you won’t get any good raids. You’ll never get any good gear. And eventually, if you want to keep stream sniping, you’ll be doing it while I have double your gear.”"

Are you ready for your streamer overlords to control the servers and blacklist you, if you aren't a good boy, Yea Forums?

Oh god I hope so.
Stream sniping gets my cock hard and watching streamers complain about it has me erupting in streams of cum

why can't you fucking just play a private server for free and shut the fuck up? why the fuck does butchered classic you have to pay for mean anything to actual fans of the original experience with all this gay shit? you could literally go play vanilla right fucking now if you wanted. just go play it. free.

They'll just play on PVE servers. The ones on PVP servers will have tons of faggots helping them if they are getting ganked.

Maybe I'm just a dumb boomer, but a streamer thinking they're popular enough to blacklist someone from an MMO seems misguided.

literally stay away from streamer servers, thats it, or at least don't join the ones where the big names are, its that simple, also not every channel will do well playing this so its not a guaranteed all of them will play it for a long time

Doesnt matter. All you need to do is kill the streamer out of the horde of people

name one game that benefited from being popular on twitch.

I don't have a problem with streamers but I do have a problem with them acting like entitled babbies because it's "muh job".
If you broadcast your location in a multiplayer game you're going to get fucked with.
Unless the games have in there terms of service rules about stream sniping/harassing players, I don't see an issue. And if they do have them just complain to the devs and get it sorted that way.
Don't whine and bitch that you've earned $11,000 this month instead of $11,150 Because getting stream sniped causes worse engagement or some shit

Ok, so lets say that you kill a popular streamer once or twice before he call his horde of fans, what are you going to do after that? The whole stream will be after you, possibly camping you for hours unless you go back into the main city or something

They're well within their rights to do this.

My main complaint is that Blizzard will ban you from their service for offending the streamer or the streamer's rabid fans.

I also haven't managed to get an official statement out of Blizzard either way whether you can be banned from World of Warcraft for comments you make entirely on your own private mumble server.

Use your autism power to keep going at it until the streamer quits.
Their fans will follow

>he doesn't know you'll get blacklisted by everyone on the server if you gank streamers
Enjoy not being able to do anything after that.

I would like to say is that sodapoppin is the biggest bitch of twitch streaming history.

Someone explain to me
Why would it matter if some streamer gets butthurt and blacklists you from a mainstream guild. Arent guilds just a party you formed with your friends? Wouldnt he just blacklist you from joining a normalfag club that you probably wouldnt join anyway?

20 in one group in the streamers shard are more then enough.

I was the guild master/raid leader for close to a decade of a guild that was top 10 on our server. If a streamer on the other faction whined to me about blacklisting gankers I would get my guild to go camp that faggot just for thinking he has the clout to tell me how to run my raids, and if he was on the same faction as me I would pay the biggest assholes on the other faction to camp him. I'm a little stunned one of them had the audacity to suggest an entire server should accompany their demands. Play on a PVE server if you can't handle PVP.

>Yea Forums guilds
Yea Forums guilds only care about erp, regular roleplay, dressing up and being mediocre raiders
fucking wont do shit against a streamer with 50 people following him

There's no way streamers or Blizzard will prevent stream sniping. this isn't like Fortnite where there are probably hundreds if not thousands of games happening at once and hardly anyone playing is actually watching your stream. also if streamers use their fame to harass other players they can easily be banned for it. It will be great having a multiplayer game again without streamers tbph

>Kill streamer once

>Waste hours of your own time getting camped while watching youtube/netflix/hulu/anime/whatever gay shit while dozens or even hundreds of people waste hours of time camping you.

Net gain desu

Time to make secret guilds dedicated to sniping streamers off servers.

That too desu. But if I did go back to play in the classic servers I wouldn't have to worry about all the twitch onionboys.

>he wishes people would just treat him like an anonymous player

Then fucking don't stream?

Yea Forums doesn't organize for shit anymore

i really dont see "streamer hordes" lasting beyond a month. at that point they'll just move on to another game. right now the beta is hot so they're all on it.

ENJOY BEING ON THE BLACK LIST FAGGOT

lmao i'd rather have zoomies than devilsaur mafia that shit was absolute cancer

just dont roll on the server thats going to have all those streamers on it

>Roll 1 character made specifically for sniping streamers

I remember pvping camping entire zones in wow.
Some people got so pissed off it was amazing.
I'd kill the same people everytime they respawned.
Then they'd call their stronger friends and i'd camp them too or kill their weaker friends infront of them.

Just don't stream LUL

That's cause Yea Forums has been taken over by reddit. Normalfags of all kinds post here daily now.

Youve obviously never played wi5 a Yea Forums guild. They are shitters, autists, unwilling to work together, and honestly few in number

Do none of these streamer faggots realize they can setup a delay on their stream? Twitch even gives you a delay option of up to 15 minutes.

you just need to hope that they wont shart that cancer server together with other server

zoomers that actually think this whole blacklist thing is gonna be real can't into creative thinking user, its pointless trying to explain this to them, they think streamers have so kind of divine power and literally everyone listens to them so if they 'blacklist' you magically no one will take you to raids anymore even tho pugs will be absolute cancer and everyone will get on serious guilds, also if there is someone with a bigger ego than a streamer its a pve guildmaster, they absolutely will not care about what streamers sayt

devilsaur mafia was well organised, they knew exactly what they were doing, zoomers are antisocial and apathic, they can't organise for shit, they will just run around and people will simply roll toons on the opposite faction and stomp them

> Yea Forums guilds
Can't gank anyone when you're too busy ERPing.
All you have to do to neutralise a Yea Forums guild is mentioning that you've started Hormone Replacement Therapy and you'd like their opinion on whether they think you're becoming cuter, and then give a imgur link to some decoy.
The Yea Forums guild will stop dead in its tracks to manually type that imgur link and browse those images, then they'll interrupt their PvP to beg for MOAR.

I hope there are EU servers so I dont have to suffer through this shit.

This. People don't realise just how many literal children these streamers have to throw at you.

It'd be great to actually fuck up these pathetic manchildren, but I don't think anyone has the autism required.

If streamers don't wanna get stream sniped then stop fucking streaming. Beta orbiters constantly throw money and gear and group invites and carries in their direction, like it's raining money and blowjobs, and these cunts find the time to whine about how hard it's to be a streamer?

Twitch streamers really are the women of online gaming.

Classic is 100% already catered to streamfags. It's already ruined. Private Servers were unironically better than this shit.

There's nothing wrong with saying you wish the negatives weren't there. There's detriments to most jobs and most people wish there weren't. There's also no reason people shouldn't be able to take measures to try to lessen the strain of those detriments.
Never said it was. Merely saying how stupid it is for someone to say "just don't do it" when it's literally how you survive.

because americans are the only people retarded enough to watch someone else do something instead of doing it themselfes hence why cuck porn is the most popular type of porn in america

>b-b-b-but muh chat interacshun!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not my fucking fault. Streamers make money and became popular they should have to fucking deal with it. Blizzard shouldn't have to make concessions to these fucking entitled brats.

It's not their fault people don't have a personality, the only one complaining about stream sniping is sodapoppin the ultimate retard, the rest are just complaining that they want to play the game normally and not have a 15yo army behind them at all times.
Anyway I don't think this will be a problem outside of the first week, I sometimes put asmongold stream as background noise and most people stopped following him past level 15, he's over 40 now and nobody follows him.

If there isn't at least little bloodshed is it really erotic?

why american streamers are such a crybabies?

I will admit: I never thought of this cancer happening and now that I know that it's a possibility I may not check out WoW classic as I had originally planned.

I always stop playing MMOs after 6 months anyway. MIght as well go back to SWTOR to get my MMO fix.

>Yea Forums guild
Yea Forums hasn't been better than reddit at anything for ages. Remember the time Yea Forums smash players were whipped by a literal tranny who was high the entire time.

Though I do get what he's getting at. He's probably wanting to play WoW:Classic and stream it, and have it be like doing it on Retail, where maybe 2-3 people will orbit you and some people passing may show up, say hey, then fuck off. Unlike what's going on with the MASSIVE amounts of beta orbiters right now.

That's rude.
Consider yourself blacklisted, you will get no more (You)s for a month.

It's a considerable time investment to level a classic character, especially on a beta that'll get wiped soon. There'll definitely people turbo autists that grind and gear gank squads when classic launches though.

People are going to get bored of classic, I've called it in every thread but I'm also calling it now. Too many people are too used to nuwow mechanics and shit like flightpaths and having to walk to the dungeon is going to cause massive dropoffs.

vanilla has a finite gear cap and theres plenty of people who dont like him

Talk about having a god complex thinking you should have the power to essentially ban people because they aren't worshipping you.

The thing about original wow is it was an actual rpg.
So it wasn't boring.

How about, force ALL twitch streamers to play on the same server as a containment zone. This would create both a perpetual shitshow of fans fighting each other, and contain all that intense autism and retardation to a single server that the rest of Classic players can just straight up avoid entirely

You mean some autist discord/reddit that have serious mental issues and stalk every moment of their favorite streamers life. Yea Forums has been irrelevant for half a decade.

There's going to be a containment server for all the big streamers and the little leeches that'll follow hoping to get some of those viewers. That's how they'll enact the blacklist, if you want to be part of those guilds or social circles you'll need to follow it or else you wont get that viewership incentive.

>20 Yea Forums chads vs 1 loser and his 1000 orbiters
Your right it isnt a fair fight they have no way of winning

Only reason he doesn't have an army besides him is because it's a closed beta. Just wait untill everyone with a credit card can get in game.

I thought Discord would ruin Classic but never even thought of the massive autistic force that is streamers and this beta has made it evident.
"Classic" WoW will never be legitimate. It all truly was an illusion of what was.

I predict the word blacklist will be banned for pc reasons.

It will bore people and they will quit. Blizzard was fucking right when they said "you think you want this but you don't" there's a happy medium that I think everyone would be most pleased with instead of having to stock up on food and pots, needing to train your moves every 2-3 levels, mounts not being guaranteed and also requiring training and gold being scarce unless your farming shit. People are going to drop this shit so hard when they realize all the QoL shit they miss.

OK, you're blacklisted.

Only people on your friends list can tell. Random people have no way of telling whether Figgernaggot the hunter is an alt of Numbdigger the warrior.

I remember in mop when some of these streamers where at there peak in wow, they would still get focused and sniped constantly. They won't have a raid organised 24/7 and your seriously underestimating the autism of some people.

They will have kill squads going after them, that's why there already trying to create ways to stop it because it happened in the past when they had less subs and will happen even more now as it's more attention for the Killers.

All it takes is one rogue in the right place at the right time.

It's not like it's hard for someone to figure out his name in wow. They can just go to where he is questing and look for someone with the same class and the same gear and then share his name, or if he's making a dungeon group or pretty much doing anything. It's impossible to keep it hidden unless he's not streaming.

It's very possible to vastly reduce the number of people who know, though. But hey, then he doesn't get the army of dicksuckers and free loot, so it's not worth doing.

Blizzard will give them preferential treatment. They have in the past. There was a popular WoW youtuber about 6 years ago who was actively using a known exploit and he got banned along with everyone else who used the exploit. Then his fans complained and they unbanned him, while everyone else remained banned. I quit the game when that happened.

There will already be a few thousand people doing that.

It also depends on how many servers there will be, as nobody knows yet. The /who shouldn't be that much of an issue though if you censor your name, make it as long as possible and randomly throw in some ´and ` for good measure. To know their ingame name you'd have to be at the exact same spot on the right server.

This seems pretty based though, unfortunately I play on EU.

a couple of raids of sapper charges ought to do it

Sapper charges will be more than enough

Pretty sure there's at least gonna be english, german and french servers for EU.

Makes me want to grief that faggot hard and I don't even want to play classic.

Same, EU here, I just want to make a NA account now to grief him and make a guild called Soda's most wanted, just to shit on him for his "epic blacklist"

You guys are comparing getting camped by 3 guys to 100+ guys without taking anything about that into account.

How bad would the ping be playing on US from EU?

based european gigachad. fuck amerisharts and FUCK twitchfags.

unless the guild went no life autist mode farming resource nodes, running gank squads on others trying to farm zones to push them out so they aren't able to do the high tier raids you wont be able to compete

the gear difference in classic was retarded, a t3 warrior can melt a group of dungeon geared 60s and these guys will be clearing and gearing from those raids as soon as they're unlocked

It would be more akin to a true classic experience, not as bad as dial-up internet though

>+20k people
that would just be sodapopper and asmontard and only during peak times of events
their current viewer numbers are inflated, because there are so many people locked out of beta

also, even if you gank them and their squad turns up: you still interrupted their gameplay and these manchildren will make a big deal out of every gank
in theory, two or three neet rogues could drive them away from a pvp realm alone
one gank every half hour is enough if you consider graveyard placement and travel times

Not that bad, i assume there are still tunneling services which I used in classic from aus to get 100ish ping on NA servers

>a t3 warrior can melt a group of dungeon geared 60s

>Casts rank 1 frostbolt on you

Would downloading a trial version of retail and playing on that to test the ping work?

got wow tokens on my us account so id rather use those and play on my us account from EU so its free, but not if the ping is absolutely terrible and unplayable

Thank god for realms.

6 guys camping and 94 guys spamming pogchamp in worldchat

Imagine killing,coincidently, a streamer in pvp, them throwing a sperg fit and get you blacklisted from every raid group in a server.

tunneling services?

They'll be outleveling everyone with constant dungeon grinding and having people in their guilds funnel them resources while the rest of the population is getting ganked trying to level. By the time any dedicated gankers get to 60 the streamers will already be decked in BiS and prepped for all their shitty pvp tournament streams

Literal non-issue. No-one on Australian servers will buy into this kind of e-celeb horseshit

The trial is probably your best bet on how it will feel in classic

Based

What's more likely is that you're going to end up in a group with one, they'll want some gear that dropped and will pressure you into giving it to them or else they'll blacklist you or have their viewers harass you for it.

Remember when prosecutors argued that Charles Manson had magic satanic powers? Yeah. I'm thinking they overestimated the average person.

Make sure to test on an east coast server.

Twitch fans have so many orbiters they can mass report and autoban, Blizzard support just sees the massive number of complaints and figure nothing is wrong.

Barely matters honestly, I've been playing on some US pservers and I'm in europe with a mediocre connection, it works well.

You are thinking that these people are competent at games when they are human trash below 90 IQ.

It's also pretty easy to hit and run, plus you may even get some actual world pvp battles out of it and best part is that 10 organized people with goblin sappers and a couple of mages can wipe out a 40 man raid.

Oceanic classic WoW is going to be wonderful

We'll finally be able to play classic as it was intended (in other words, not with 350-400ms) and not a single zoomer magnet streamer in sight

>wow.gamepedia.com/Americas_region_realm_list_by_datacenter
ty user, sorry for the spoonfeeding, but how come test on an east coast server?

>We'll finally be able to play classic as it was intended (in other words, not with 350-400ms)
Yeah, I was thinking of this as I looked back on some of my old screenshots the other night. Vanilla wow on

rent free

nice one, cheers mate that gives me some confidence

no one worth a shit actually cares about streamers
all the top guilds will gank streamers when they see them because they are og players not wod era shitters. streamers and their orbiters arent ahead of the pack, they are middle pack if anything.

So, this seems an easy fix for gankers who get blacklisted, just start a guild by blacklisted players for blacklisted players.

it should. Blizzard should give sodapoppin a reckfull treatmeant and ban him just for suggesting a cross-faction blacklisting as using a position of power to harass regular players.

Grats on getting camped on spergs because you delayed an eceleb for fifteen seconds.

The solution is for everyone to chillax. And for stream fans to be less spergy.

The last time anything Yea Forums related managed to be gud in a game was the Tribes Ascend match with reddit, since then, the motor functions and iq of your avarage Yea Forums poster has plummeted.
Fuck, just look at the Nost server before the server shut down, the Yea Forums guild(s) was barely alive and was just as infested with shitposters and mentaly ill trannies as Yea Forums is right now. At best the Guild will die off quietly with no real repercussions for any of it members, at worst, some tranny or /r9k/ cabal will try to blackmail people and ruin the old members in-game lives as much as possible for the ''KEKs'' or becuase some tranny gets off HARD on the idea that they have any modicum of control/power over someone else.

For any newfags or underage b& out there, take my advise, don't ever involve yourself with anything Yea Forums related that can get traced back to you in any way. At best you will just end up annoyed/frustrated at the users/members, at worst actual psychopaths will try to shit on you in any way they can.

Why is sodapoppin still not banned? I know that he's an "influencer" but at this point he is making more harm to Classic than anything. Blizzard should ban him to show that he cares about regular players not some entitled pieces of shit. I might even not play Classic just because I know no achievement, no fight will matter. There is no sense of accomplishment in doing anything knowing that there are guys who get shit handed to them.
WoW was an escape from reality where your boss could bring his family member and promote him instead of you despite your experience and performance. Life is unfair. That's why you would escape to WoW. But now we have entitled manchildren getting stuff for free, deciding whether you are worthy of participating in the Blizzard game content or not.

You don't keep up with /vg/ at all. Soda got ganked repeatedly by some of our guys, is home to gladiator players, and before WoW went to shit the guilds would always clear content together.

>Insted of gangs / mafia / chinks we will have hordes of braindead twitch stream fans that camp all the resources

Attached: 1522784774415.gif (288x198, 1.41M)

the solution is to ban sodapoppin like reckfull. Make streamers aware that they can't be entitled toxic manchildren, and if they suggest using their position of power to bully regular players they will get permabanned. Blizzard make an example out of soddapoppin and ban him. Fucking petitions never work but maybe someone will look into it.

But he had an army for the first 20 levels, it's not like that people got their beta revoked, why are they not with him?
Oh right because if you're being a faggot fanboy you're not leveling, so their armies will eventually stay behind.

What happens after a couple weeks when people clear raid content? When there's no more first to cap level, or first clear to chase after? Do the autists stick around or do they leave? Do the devs keep it a classic experience or do they just rapidly update it until it's no different than live like RIFT did with it's classic servers?

This, guilds will be built for the sole purpose of stream snipping.
I can't wait to see the looks on their faces.
And it's not like you can't make a throw away account anyways.

>Things that will never happen.

there is a minimum 2 year period of progression in line with the original 2 year vanilla.. after that we don't know. this 'couple weeks' meme is pretty aids

Didn't this happen in Vanilla too? At least in private there can be some weirdness when you zone. Especially the transition north of badlands near ulda was pretty bad where I played.

>2 years
I don't buy that shit for a milisecond. What exactly takes 2 years? Is there a like year long cooldown on attempts for endgame raids or something?
Cause this isn't "in line with vanilla" we're 15 years in the future, where we know the absolute optimal places to grind to level, the best drops we can get and where to get them/how to make them, and everything else to finish as efficiently as possible.

God i fucking hate Sodapoopin.

>Didn't this happen in Vanilla too?
lol
No, it didn't.
You would simply disconnect if your connection couldn't handle it. Or, the server would crash.

bosses drop a few items to gear up 40 people, everything takes forever, they aren't releasing every raid at release. the idea that information about where items drop didn't exist in 2004 is bullshit, everybody used thottbot to look up quests and everybody knew droprates on all kinds of shit, it's not fucking new. and 99.9% of people who will play classic are not private server autists who have spent 15 years replaying vanilla over and over.

>"We know"
The issue with what you're saying is that most classic players won't be min-max autists. Fast progression can't be done unless there's also a very large group of autists towing the line. What you're saying will work on full turbo neckbeard guilds that are pre-organizing and only relying on each other for progress, but as far as the regular player goes and the communtiy as a whole there won't be any blazing through content as quickly as you say.

>popular

You clearly don't get what I mean. Even if WoW feels like a continuous map it's still segmented on a technical level. That can cause hiccups.

So you're saying that 20+ years of MMO autism about being the first and the best will disappear for wow classic exclusively, when it never has for any other game in the history of the genre, and that all these people will stick around after said autists complete all the content first?
Gotcha.

Blizzard should ban the big streamers the massive butthurt would be hilarious.

Imagine spending +200 hours on a character.
You enter random BG or participate in random WPvP. You kill someone without even looking at his nickname. He get's triggered. Since the blacklist system is in place you get blacklisted.
Your guild kicks you out.
You can't raid anymore.
You can't even get invite to a party.
You might as well delete a character you spend hundreds of hours on because streamer mad.

Why blizzard didn't ban sodapoppin right away after he suggested crossfaction blacklist? He is a threat to Classic. Remove him. He can fuck off playing variety of other games. Blizzard shouldn't favour him anymore. He is no longer an influencer who will bring them any profit. If anything more people will leave because of him or participate in toxic behaviour out of spite for him. Just remove him. Ban him like they banned Reckfull. Should there be really a petition made to make blizzard aware he is ruining the Classic?

you're a retard and you and all your low-iq kind will be proven wrong on release. hell you've already been proven wrong by the beta, as even when streamers are spoonfed information by 50k people they still suck ass and get their shit handed to them by the 0.1% autists. your fantasy world where everybody is a minmaxer and most people don't have jobs is not accurate to reality

There'd just be guilds instantly made of blacklisted people who would just work together if this insane shit ever became an actual thing.

Which honestly it probably would, since their screaming fanboys will demand it.

How much of your dad's money did you spend on twitchfaggots?

Can't change names in old wow like that and it still wouldn't matter if someone knew their toon's name. They'd just need a single person with a same faction toon on the server to /who them.

That's wrong tho, because it isn't.

>most 4channers are so beta they NEVER had their name said on a stream

oh nonononononono

>Even if WoW feels like a continuous map it's still segmented on a technical level
"no"

Yeah, like 5-6 years ago I played some shitty korean grindfest mmo called TERA with a guild composed mostly of Yea Forums and /vg/ shitposters with a few actually, honest to god, nut jobs that acted like failed sociopaths. So they used said MMO as a way to vent their frustrations of being NEET sociopaths and tried to shit on anyone/anything that even irked them slightly. Or just blackmail people to get what they wanted (be it ERP or actual cash) I wont say anything that might summon them, since these are the type of banevading faggots that will try their best to grind any board here on Yea Forums to a halt, but yes, I've had some firsthand experience with these types of ''people''.

>You don't keep up with /vg/ at all.
Because that entire board is shit and nothing but fucking avatar posting, ERP and dead links nowadays. There might me a decent thread once in a while, but everything after thread 5-10 of any game always devolves into degeneracy of the higgest fucking order. You will get more enjoyment/info out of your avarage bait thread here on Yea Forums.

Yep. That's why it was possible that certain zones were down. In the clip here you see it happens when he zones to SW and it doesn't meld together properly. That's not necessarily layering.

how do you even become a popular streamer if you're male?

Just don't make a character in a streamer server?
I mean seriously, the solution is right there. The only reason someone would be seething about this is because you WANTED to play in a streamer server but you want things to be somewhat balanced/fair. Solution: DONT play in a streamer server

suck up to the incel demographic on reddit, it's literally how every big streamer over the past year that isn't from fortnite blew up

How much do you get paid by the government for your obvious mental handicap

That's nuwow tech. This was never a thing in Vanilla.

Jump on the next meme game and be good at it.
Have a symbiotic relationship with reposting monkeys on reddit and youtube so your name spreads around.

The manifestation might be new because it's worked back from retail and they don't really care about making that stuff smooth anymore (with all the 900% flying mounts and general teleportation you know).

>tfw regular donator that gets to play with my favourite streamer and have the protection of his army and get my name said live on stream

Feels good to be a paychad.

No shit, it's layering, which is sharding, which is from retail.

Luck, skill, getting in early, charisma/humour, already having a viewer base from youtube or elsewhere. If you have the ability skill does seem to be most reliable way of getting attention, if you're winning big tournaments in whatever zoomer game you're gonna get viewers. Everything else is luck and timing and maybe some good self-advertisement.

Fuck you Mccuck, I know you're here, you should talk to Asmon about Soda being a retard

mccool should stream, he'd be an instant 25k andy and wouldn't have a work a day again, he doesn't even need to use a cam idk what the fuck he's doing, he's throwing away a golden opportunity

It's rather that the zones aren't properly interconnected making for a hard transition.

That's called sharding

Nope.

Do you seriously think this faggot has any real reach outside of several thousand children who watch him on twitch? No competent guild leader or group worth playing with will be a sodapoppin subscriber and actually do this.

But yeah I do agree he should be banned for suggesting this cross faction shit

Streamer said on stream that they are going to play on 2 servers, one that everyone will know, and the other playing off stream.

You can join any server, there is a chance that one day Asmongold comes out and shit up your entire server.

Is WoW Classic free?

Because he knows he wouldn't be 25k, he'd be like every other irrelevant friend of a big streamer that ends up being at sub 1k whenever their big friend is on

>implying they won't get bored and fuck off after 2 weeks like most of the tourists

There's already a big guild forming with the sole intention of rolling on Soda's stream and griefing him endlessly, can't wait

Probably not mate

he's actually funny though. esfand is naturally charismatic and he's pulling 6-7k now after the asmon boost. mcconnel is consistently funny as fuck, if he streamed consistently he'd be big

If you shill so

There are a few but they have like 2k followers max and most are actually good players, horde side at least

no you need to pay for the sub which is ~15-20 bucks a month depending on currency

It didn't but the tech where each zone was each server did exist. Or at least Kalimdor, Easter Kindgoms and dungeons were on different servers physically, since one can be down and the other could still function.

those rules are obviously not really enforced, that shit happens daily on every server, it's part of the game

NOOOO FUCK YOU WE WILL WIPE THE HORDE OUT AFTER MY GOLDSHIRE ERP SESSION

well since he actively announced doing it to thousands of people, how can we make blizzard actually make an example out of him and ban him? He legitimately told everyone his plans to harass and bully people he don't like using his popularity and position.

Right, but talking to someone on the opposite faction on discord isn't really something they CAN enforce, even if they could be fucked. They do enforce win trading for example, and a large social blacklist system/addon toted by the largest wow streamer isn't a small thing

90% of those problems are fixed by muting said person, I fucking hate this nanny state game policy that rules every multiplayer game nowadays, instead of teaching people to tell them to fuck off, you're baning that person on their behalf because they got offended.

This is actually a good idea
Your guild will be filled with kino shitposters and streamer haters, like a funnel for the best of the best

blizzard must be really desperate to actually give people the thing the thing they think they want.

no one actually wants to play wow classic - it's just nostalgia fueled delusion that'll last a week.

>muh community enforced blacklist
imagine coming up with such an stupid idea. let me make a wild prediction if that idiot tries that:
1- a very small percentage of people will actually look into a blacklist before interacting with someone. people are fucking lazy
2- entire guilds could be formed with blacklisted people, making the entire thing pointless.I'm 100% sure sniping guilds that take being blacklisted as a point of pride would spawn
I was not much of a wow player, but the shitshow that's about to unfold might be worth keeping an eye on it

>entire guilds could be formed with blacklisted people
This sounds very rad to be honest, you'll get some 'dark guild' that hunts everybody.

With blacklist they mean putting you into the ignore list. Basically they are trying to make it so that nobody will interact with you on a given server because you will be in ignore by majority of the sever population

Just watching that gave me cancer. Faggots spouting twitch emotes in the guild chat.

Why is Yea Forums against charismatic figures naturally amassing a hoard of loyal soldiers and essentially becoming in game kings? That's some healthy role playing. If you don't like it then just go to another server.

I know right? if someone goes with it I hope they get either a super-edgy, donutsteel tier name or a silly one.
is there a way to update your ignore list with a huge amount of names? let's say 20-40 names get added to the list, is there a script or an addon that either updates that automatically or lets you run something to put all of those names at once? even then, my point still stands: I don't think that much people would give much of a shit.

I know at least one streamer who's not full-time WoW streaming, but plays regularly and has a much bigger following than 2k, and plans to play classic.

That said, EU servers will likely be language-gated anyway, so that won't affect most people.

OH NO NO

The only acceptable answer is that it's a small streamer who's living "on the rope" and since you enjoy the content, you want to encourage him continuing rather than "selling out" and get an actual job.
Basically, it's the same as why you wouldn't tip a guy who has big concerts, but you would tip the guy playing in the street.

it's capitalism.

I've been supremely lucky in the 2 Yea Forums groups I've involved with have been full of decent guys

You mean you wanted to travel back in time instead? Because nobody really, seriously though they'd get the same WoW experience as it was then, right?

Why would they? Him being a raging faggot isn't against the TOS.

Am unironically considering playing in US servers to get a hand at ganking streamer fags.
Worth the extra ping if I can help rid the world of this cancer.

this is what happens when you have a weak father and/or no older siblings.

If 50+ people report you for toxic behavior or whatever. I'm sure blizzard will do something about you.

he has older siblings but they all leech off him

that warrior that won the roll was still playing with soda the other day on the beta, they're friends

Yea Forums guilds are just full of trannies and then disband once one of them has a breakdown, happens everytime like fucking clockwork.

Bully

I'll probably just join a reddit guild or one of the streamers guilds. It's easier that way.

Rogues move the same exact way 90% of the time.
They always think someone is cheating, but the real problem is they are almost all the same middling skill NPC like opponent.

They should say byebye to a millionaire influencer who no longer brings players in. He blatantly break crossfaction rules, encourages toxix behaviour and bullying people with no clout/abusing his position. He is a legitimate threat to any server stability, economy, and social life. He should be permabanned from Classic to prevent him from ruining it by his stupid entitlement and ideas. Classic is not HIS game.
Screencap this. WoW players want entitled manchild banned.

>regular roleplay
>bad
Erp is shit, yes, but roleplay itself? Fuck right off.

Put all the streamers on a containment server, or simply make a clause in the ToS that it is illegal to make money of the classic game in real time.

Videos are allowed and streams are allowed if they are 5 minutes delayed. That seems fair since they can't complain about snipping ever.

Because playing on a west coast server will add a bunch of latency. EU-east coast US is generally doable in online games, EU-west coast not so.

that's exactly what happened though

Sure get it started.

why are people so excited for WoW classic? There will literally be no honeymoon period. We know everything there is to know about the game. From the second you make your character, you know which gear is optimal. You know which dungeons to run. You will basically be executing a spreadsheet for the majority of the game. Obviously you'll be "playing" it but its really just going to be a mad dash to get to the endgame which will be nowhere near as magical or fun as it was the first time around.

One of the primary reasons im choosing to play FF 14 instead of classic. Better to let all of my good memories rest than have them ruined by zoomers.

Even if he said nigger with a hard r, he still shouldn't be banned

Muh nostalgia muh childhood

The whole idea of a blacklist is stupid anyway, it usually turns into he said, she said. People aren't going to research every single person who was blacklisted and figure out if they should be blacklisted or not. Streamers could just put someone on a blacklist that they don't like. I recall Asmongold raging at a guy because he got beaten to an open world chest at like level 7. Could easily end up on a blacklist for that or if you don't pass on good loot in a dungeon.

Why did Kotaku write an article about a Twitch clip from two years ago, when Soda even recently said that he doesn't feel the same anymore, and he'll just not stream Classic because the game is more important to him than actually streaming.
I don't even follow the guy, but this misinformation has been cleared up for days now. Educate yourselves.

It's literally streamers and shills getting paid by Blizzard to shill it and all the zoomers eat it up. Blizzard/WoW has ALWAYS been the normalfag game/company.

They were hurting his job!

But some of these streamers have enough money to continue to stream for the rest of their lives if they spent their money on the bare necessities.

>HATE VIDEO GAME

See what I did there?

so how is the release even going to go? Is it going to launch with naxx? Or are they going to do """"updates"""" where they add in the content?

>Let me be offended on your behalf black people

Is asmon paying Mcconnell for his shilling? He just says the words Twitch Prime and gets like $100 in subs instantly. He deserves a cut.

gaming is so fucking lame now

Progression based. The game will be patched up to Naxx, but the content wont release until later.

No its not, user. Multiplayer gaming is lame. Just play stuff on your own or with your friends and you're set.

>Progression based.
so it will be a timegated patch 1.12 classic server?

It's because they get taken over by faggots.
Just like warbros and many others before. But isn't that kinda the point?
Some faggots do something funny/great and then leave that behind so no name will stay attached to them.

more complicated than that, there are items that got updates partway through vanilla, loot tables that changed, those things will be staggered released also to fully emulate og vanilla timeline

Play what on my own? A good game hasn't been made since Terraria

If you feel that way, then I can't really help you user. There have been a lot of great single player games released in the last few years, and people still make mods for games older than that. Just have to go out there and snoop around for the good stuff.

>I know right? if someone goes with it I hope they get either a super-edgy, donutsteel tier name or a silly one.
When I played Archeage there was a PK guild on my server where the guild leader was Ongobongo and he always roleplayed as a slave master

Pathetic losers. Can't you start streaming on your own and make Yea Forums twitch group? You will easily have around 1k people interested in it from Yea Forums alone. And then even more normalfags tourists who are curious how Yea Forums looks and behaves. After all they all spam memes that originated here on Yea Forums without even knowing it. Like that guy trainkwrekz who posts SquadW all over the place like he is some kind of misogyny guru. He isn't even entry level to misogyny when you compare him to /r9k/ for example. Twitch seems boring as fuck compared to Yea Forums. I guess it could be too easy to get banned because of the saturation. Twitch streamers even the big ones are just bland and boring but normalfags still think they are edgy. Who knows, give it a try Yea Forums instead of crying about some manchild with pink hair taking opportunity in a free market.

Apex had no marketing except this.

will they emulate talent trees aswell? i played druid in vanilla and swiftment wasnt a thing for quite a while until it replaced innervate in the restoration tree and made it baseline

>still caring about sharding: the 50 players "M"MO
Are you guys retarded?

You'd make it though if it meant acting like a clown for a few years then retiring into anonymity.

1.12 trees, swiftmend is the final resto talent, innervate is baseline

Not everyone has played it to death or is going to mindlessly follow guides

Can't these faggot streamers just all choose a realm and let their cult followers follow them there so we know what realms to avoid?

I can't be bothered to have 40 raid group of naked lvl 1 night elves raid Orgrimmar thinking it's lul and very funny

I don't see what the big deal is here. Odds are you'll be on a server with a bunch of people who also dislike streamers, and it will be an enjoyable community as well. The streamers are basically acting like a big fucking zoomer magnet, creating quarantine servers. Honestly I think it's a good thing.

You can't get the streamers names fast enough or they'll already be reserved by Blizzard. Target the zoomer fans who would cry over losing their name.

>already be reserved by Blizzard
delusional jfc

theres a name reserve time. i think its open though so make sure you get the date

AUGUST 13th is when character creation opens

what if someone in your server decides to stream even if he's not a "big deal" only with 1k followers it would make a change in your experience, what it needs to be implemented are services free of streamers or dedicated ones and containment them there, overall the result would be better for everyone people who doesn't want stupid zoomers spouting memes in chat and those who want it would know where to go. .

Holy shit what's the point of playing a game that does it? What about items? Does tier 1 tier 2 and tier 3 are already reserved by blizzard for streamers as well? What about scarab lord? Is it reserved by blizzard for streamers so when you do it it won't register until sodapoppin does it?
Fuck this stupid game and this stupid company. People should be outraged by it and quit forcing blizzard to literally beg regular players to play and perma ban streamers.

>>I was the guild master/raid leader for close to a decade of a guild that was top 10 on our server. If a streamer on the other faction whined to me about blacklisting gankers I would get my guild to go camp that faggot just for thinking he has the clout to tell me how to run my raids, and if he was on the same faction as me I would pay the biggest assholes on the other faction to camp him. I'm a little stunned one of them had the audacity to suggest an entire server should accompany their demands. Play on a PVE server if you can't handle PVP.
Thank you for your service in making entitled little shits lives be as shitty as they should be. You were living the dream.

Anyone who speaks like this should stay on retail where they belong. And good luck even trying to follow the BiS list when it will, at best, take a month to farm everything you need to get it. At that point you should just enter MC without BiS and let the turbo-autists carry you becuase they only know like 5 people total, including their mom and you need atleast 20 ppl that know the fights and another 20 just to do enough dmg to actually clear the content.

I doubt they will. They'll just tell the streamers to go screw and ban them if they attempt to harass other players with their fame.

Can we make a server streamers pick empty? By taht I mean only streamers and stream snipping dick suckers play on it. So there's literally nothing happening on the server but streamer running around with his 100 bodyguards.
Basically force streamers to play on official blizzard private server just made for streamers semi-single player.

The problem is that these people are making a living at the expense of the game and it's players. They might think they are doing some service but reality is they are annoying and upsetting average players. If you walked into a brick and mortar business with a camera and started streaming and doing dumb shit for views they would throw your ass on the street. There needs to be an equivalent for games. There needs to be a streamer black list and they need to be contained to servers that do not influence normal play.

Stop supporting Blizzard.

pretty good point to make that this blacklist thing would just cause stream snipers to organize, because that's what they would do if no one else would help them. then you have all the stream snipers in the same guild, united with a common goal of ruining the game for streamers. unironically a good idea by sodapoppin

screencap this. This is what sodapoopin makes regular players think. Stop giving privilege to streamers.

RP of any kind is foam adventure tier.

sodapoppin can't boil a water, he is really retarded by he will say he's only pretending being retarded. Can't wait to see "HIS EXPERIENCE" being ruined. Of course using addblock

that's ideal but they are going to refute it saying we are discriminating them or some gay shit and knowing how blizzard is nowadays...

>Of course using addblock
use uBlock + twitch5, the thinking mans combo

>Blizzard shouldn't have to make concessions to these fucking entitled brats.
They have to. Streamers are unfortunately incredibly important when it comes to marketing.

They're not excited for WoW Classic. They're trying to wind back the clock on everything, in the world and in their personal life, to how it was 15 years ago. WoW Classic is their way of doing that.

>twitch5
what is this, why would i need an alternate video player

This. Please stay and play BFA, im sure 8.2 will be different.

Classic will definitely be better than modern WoW, but it's not going to bring back the feelings you had playing it over a decade ago. It's not going to restore your life or the society we live in.

Oh god this

forum is good as dead, man

the only streamer i'd like to watch play wow is forsen and that's because all his viewers will be sniping him and ruining his pve instead of helping him

Having seen a few streams of popular WoW streamers, they basically just get instant 40 man raids together and sit back and let their fans carry them through content like that turkish girl anniefuschia half the time she's just on /follow and not playing at all and her fans just hand her whatever gear they got via trade that she would need
to give voice to a rhetorical question that i feel needs an answer
why is this shit allowed?
i mean seriously. i realize that blizzard cant outright ban these fags and that it would be a bad move financially and possibly legally but come the fuck on, to allow that same cancer to invade classic is retarded.these assholes will just click their fingers and get the best poopsockers to carry them through MC, AQ, and naxx, while doing fuckall to earn their slot in the raid
like others have pointed out they'll just roam around with an entourage in pvp both instanced and wpvp and rise up the ranks that way
i really hope blizzard does something to manage this shit but considering how determined they seem to ruin classic i doubt it

Sea of Thieves went from irrelevancy to modest popularity because one popular streamer picked it up.

That is unironically how many people are viewing it. It's why there's so much demand for it. Once people realize that it isn't a time machine they'll tire of it.

And yet, throughout vanilla, new servers were always hype.

How about if they want to not get stream sniped they don’t stream the game? I’m so glad Blizzard is with the players on this and not with these entitled children that won’t accept this obvious solution because they’re money hungry attention whores.
Maybe, just MAYBE streamers should hire bodyguards, just like real celebs, if they want to swim in attention 24/7. I’m sure someone will be willing to do it for free and also polish their boots and suck their cock as an extra bonus.
