am I actually unironically missing out on the experience if I do not play on a pvp server? or is it bullshit? educate me please

I don't want to be a teenager again, I just want to play 1 month of WoW classic with my group of friends and then move on to the next thing
why are you this mad about people wanting to have fun with an old game?
maybe you are the one that feels already dead user

Yes you are. No doubt about it. Clashing with random players is ab ibtegral part of the experience.

early on you'll regret it a lot because the only ones not getting ganked will be the organized guilds in parties and you'll basically get farmed by parties pretty much constantly
later on, you'll be thankful because the PVP server gives you a lot of fun content to do when you're bored

Feels good

Been 6 months since I stopped playing on vanilla pserver to cleanse myself and enjoy the F R E S H, can't wait.

>me and my friends have all managed to get a weekend to have an old style LAN to play classic WoW like the olden days

Cant fucking wait. It would be the ultimate send off. Might just end it afterwards.

You mean fully geared undead rogues who corpse camp you.
That is not the vanilla experience. Classic is over 15 years old. The only people you meet in open world pvp are gankers who you aren't able to kill.

Home is where the hurt is. I'm never going back

Redpill me on PvP holy pala in battlegrounds.
I love the fantasy of an armored saint putting a stop to the advances of the shoeless savages. But it seems like the moment a warrior/rogue/hunter decides to go after you you wont be casting anymore non-instant spells.
Also how good are the T1/T2 sets for pvp? It seems like the pvp set tries to be everything at once and ends up being good at nothing.

Dont need a redpill. Its just straight up not viable. Why would you even consider it?

Honestly the main reason I want to play on a pvp server is so I could go to the town in duskwood, get on one of the roofs and one hit confused lowbies.

Were people ever this mad about others enjoying an older game again?

Imagine going to GoG spamming every game with: "Lol it won't be the same fag you're never going to be a child again". Retailtrannies are really mentally ill

They have literal physical anguish realizing they have been playing actual shit for years. Classic WoW and its success is proof that they have wasted years on consuming piles of crap.

BC and WotLK were the high points of WoW. Prove me wrong.

They were both decent expansions when compared with the trashfire of the later ones, true.

the sub count positively correlates with expansion quality, including vanilla sub count, prove me wrong

While leveling as feral specc can you go heal dungeouns aswell?

tauren warrior or undead warlock?

no greater feeling in the world

>>
Healing pala is not viable?

Both are kino. I can't really decide, really hard question. Tauren warrior is always a good choice though, one that few regrets taking.

Warlock. There's going to be a lot of every class but I feel everyone and their mom will being playing warrior. You can always make an alt latter on.

>tank responsibility
>slow ass leveling
what is the appeal of warrior?

Best class in game once at 60 and fully geared. Not so much in PvP unless you have a pocket healer but when you do you wreck everything.
>Tanking responsibility
not hard at all unless you have one brain cell

its a fun class at 60

Based fellow druchad.

i only have 1 brain cell which class should i play?

Gonna gank every single rouge i see until they get up to the point where they feel abused enough to switch classes or quit classic.

This is for 4 years of Trauma you sack of shit.

Nostalgia is mental illness.
Nothing can be the same.

Wrath has a high point, that being 3.1 patch, but the expansion as a whole is rather poor. World and dungeon content in Wrath is irrelevant, leveling is in the process of becoming irrelevant (prot warriors 1-shot cleaving mobs with Revenge while being damage immune during shield block, 1-80 being quite a bit shorter than 1-60 or post-2.3 1-70 even without heirlooms, that sort of thing), 3.0 and 3.2 patch content is beyond awful and ICC is mediocre with three relevant bosses already being generous. There's just not many worthwhile things to do because it's the premier raidlogging expansion with bad raids - even neo-WoW fares better in that regard. And while the content side of things is in itself damning, the general style and design of the game is also highly questionable. Planned obsolescence of raids and generally horrible progression mechanics, gutted professions, RDF, "epic" ""cinematic"" quests (yet clumsier compared to later expansions), and while some specs become more involved to play (although not all of them, priest and druid healers and tanks for starters), I think class design as a whole had turn for the worse due to being homogenized to hell and back.

In a sense it has actually my favorite expansions to play on private servers because at the end of the day it's not all bad and the game is still recognizable. Heavily custom tuned T7 content can be endurable and Ulduar tends to be rushed out at an accelerated schedule so you don't have to bear it for too long. Then you can grab Death's Demise and quit because there's nothing worthwhile left to play for. However, as a whole I'd probably rather play neo-WoW.

Hmm honestly whatever you want dude. Just have fun because either way you're going to be criticized for something if you are dumb. Just stay away from tanking. Hunter and warlock have it easy for leveling and solo content but hunter falls off hard at 60 and will have a tough time getting into raids due to only needing really 1-2 in raids

Or you're just projecting because nostalgia in itself is completely fine...
WoW classic is a great game to this day. It's going to still be great after it launches again

Do you seriously ask how gold diggers do their thing?
Maybe there are some genuine feelings among them, who knows. But yeah, she is way out of his league even if she is half plastic.

She's 29, and about to hit the wall. Don't let the insta photos trick you, when she's on other peoples streams without the lighting you can tell how much lucasarts tier makeup she's using. Asmongold is the perfect target; he's got money, a personality, and he's never had a GF before.
If she manages to clean him up a bit, he's a top tier beta provider.
I feel bad for him, because she just hits all the marks for a golddigging babyclock 30 year old woman. At least he'll get his tiddies and maybe a few kids, that's still more than most of the spergs pointing their finger at him.

Pretty much this. There may be genuine feelings between the two but her main intention is securing that financial stability before her bod clock runs out of time.

Yeah, i know it's cool to hate the guy, but he seems like he's a genuine person that just likes to be childish and rude online(who doesn't?).

I don't think he's off the mark, women can love a guy they're exploiting the same as a guy they're committing to. The difference is that when there is no more free meals for them, she dries up fast.
I assume it was the 'genuine feelings' thing that got you going, having said what i did you're probably still right to be sceptical.
God knows how much she spent already, or how well she managed that money in general. Either way, she's turning 30 and Goldshire mailbox squatter might not last for her. She wants a guy with money so she can continue to be rich, i know people mentioned her family, but who knows how much they have, much less how much she'll be getting.

what did he mean by this?

100% accurate. Also they're 50/50 split between healslut and 'girls can dps too ya know!', which of course, they can't.
They're essentially doing it as a social exercise, only playing the game for cosmetics. They enjoy the game only on the most superficial level, chasing easy rewards/carries and trying to get people to treat them like the guild girl.
Sooner or later the crazy starts to come out, and they start drama with someone that ruined their pretty princess fantasy, at which point, people have to choose sides, and shit starts flying.
Piece of shit sexual chimeras are as bad as any batshit insane woman, that is their only success.

This so much.

Time to stop being manchildren.

So, basically, they're playing these games as they would play Second Life? Makes sense.

Girls don't play vanilla. We might have plenty of "girls" though.

Kinda. Same awkward roleplaying, and the same drama when someone makes them break character instead of praising them for being hot grills.
Pretty sure they end up in MMO's because they're typically piss easy and allows them to attempt living the 'gamer girl'-trope.

Horde lock is suffering. Half the horde is going to have will of the forsaken. The other half is going to be orc warriors with berserker rage.
In PvP lock is a horde race.

Hunters dont scale as well going into later raids but you still need 1-4 for tranq.

1 if they are a god hunter and will never miss or die. 4 is the upper end of safe where you prob have mediocre hunters anyway.

Think about it logically

You'll still have the means to do damage, and there won't be many Alliance locks so you can get a place pretty easily, but as said you won't be steamrolling on every foe you meet.

Am I the only one who will play druid and have rebirth and innervate bound then afk / watch something on screen 2 while collecting fat loot

Disregard my lengths of typos, and suck my dick. You'll get a raidspot easy, but PvP pwnage is the endgame of vanilla, it's the reason anyone bothers with boring hour long tank and spank raids.

>hit future buff bot
>he has to use his SAFE SPACE ability and teleport across the content to be safe

Heck it's even better than killing you. At least then you'll be back in just a few minutes

"girls" are just as much trouble as girls. Anything someone can thirst over can and will kill your guild and/or fun, never give anyone the opportunity to be a thirstlord and globally ban all girls/"girls"/>girls.

yes
they exist just to cast tranq shot

Definitely paladin. If you are raiding you will be healing, you will place blessings every 5 min and you will only used low rank flash of light while topping healing charts. Levelling is only a slight step above warrior since you can heal but you will mostly just rely on auto attack and using seal every 30 sec

you might have to holy light sometimes though or wipe the raid

It's big brain if you want to kill in pvp with it though, but if you are trying to do that you are a hipster anyway.

Paladins heh

We already have around 12 people back.

this is correct. The dip from Ulduar Wrath to late wrath is so bad because i think Ulduar is when i liked the game the most

That's really really bad choices. Shammy more. Balance druids are God awful at everything they do.

>he doesn’t know the four step method of dealing with WoTF

Neither. You'll only get a spot over someone else if they just need one more guy to drop totems or innervate/res.

Does EU have the streamer issue at all? Seems like a top EU streamer will have less than 1k viewers. There are variety streamers that will probably play for a couple of weeks, but it wont be enough to damage a server

Classic wow Servers are named after famous players from Vanilla, what server do you roll on?

Death Coil is a Death Knight spell you fucking retard. Now what do you do against a mage? Or a warrior that charge+hamstrings you? Even if you manage to get some idiot to waste his cooldowns, you're still just hoping that your opponent is stupid. Meanwhile, Horde locks spam fear and have no worries.
It's like playing Rogue against a faction with 2 stun trinkets, and you don't have stealth.
If you like a challenge, or just want to be Alliance, fair enough. But no matter how stonk your jutsus are you're still gimped and stuck hoping that your opponent is a fucktard.

And I cant wait.

you dont raid with it and once you've got good gear the nuke specs are better

Warriors are reasonably active, though. Particularly prior to gaining access to Mortal Strike or Bloodthirst (which leave you with little rage for anything else) you can spend your rage on a broad array of abilities and in actuality warriors are ideally leveled hamstring kiting the mobs while waiting for your swing timer, continuously weaving in and out of melee range.

It's absolute bullshit, the people saying otherwise consider being corpse camped by some faggot 40 levels above you, forcing you to waste time calling in guildies to save your ass like a pussy, not only a rite of passage but somehow fun. if you unironically think that's a healthy player experience "because it's war" then go ahead, but imo you have to be a very specific kind of nolife loser to think ganking is an important part of PvP and to want to deal with that shit while leveling.

Autism is a mental illness

Private servers feel empty and most players you see are actual chinks. Even with layering, I expect Classic to be more alive

Whoa it's almost like you can choose not to play on the same server as them unlike private servers.

You can avoid most streamers since they'll congregate to fellate eachother and will have their servers lined up within the next couple of days due to name reservations. Can't exactly escape corrupt GMs and Chink farmsquads.

spbp. How many guilds have been destroyed by the faggot guild leader shacking up with some random guild thot? Saw it happening to my tryhard guild back in vanilla and me and my officer buddy robbed the guild bank clean, made off with thousands of gold worth of shit and nobody was even the wiser because the guild disintegrated right about the same moment.

What?

Seething

TBC had great raids, but Wrath’s were mediocre to bad outside Ulduar

Tuning in vanilla is fucking pathethic relative to what's actually possible. Even the likes of Patchwerk require half or less than half of the DPS achievable with no gear from their tier, many bosses can be tanked by DPS warriors in DPS gear so it follows that healing an actual tank is completely trivial (to be fair there's a handful that do pack a punch, like Broodlord Lashlayer), etc. In this sense it's literally LFR-tier, or equivalent to Wrath dungeons as far as 5-mans are concerned.

However, while content is only ever "truly" difficult when it's tuned at the knife's edge, that's not the whole story because there also are mechanics to consider. And while they tend to be 1-2 mechanic fights, to vanilla's credit those tend to be mechanics you actually have to care about. I haven't played retail since LFR was introduced so I don't speak from experience, but knowing the quality of typical PUG players, the raids must have been tuned such that even trash random healers you can outheal the fires people are standing on and even when 1-shots are involved, In other words, while in neo-WoW you can charge in and push buttons haphazardly, in vanilla/TBC you actually have to care about these things, and that's a the kind of skillset (diligence, patience, coordination) people playing neo-WoW have almost certainly learned by now.

TLDR: In some sense vanilla really is LFR-tier but despite 1-2 button specs and 1-2 ability bossfights, in other but completely real sense it's also tougher than neo-WoW outside of higher artificial difficulties.

TBC started the trend of artificial gameplay in WoW and Wrath continued it.

>Players are running out of things to do? Here, have a second difficulty for the same dungeons you already have. Here, take some repeatable quests to do every day.

They never should have catered to players that are perpetually stuck in the endgame. Every game needs offramps where you can start playing for fun instead of playing to make the numbers on your armor go up.

can you raid as an arms warrior in classic?

i played one in legion but eventually couldn't keep up with dps because i didn't get the right trinkets

T2 can be decent for an ele offspec.

Best case scenario is Classic+ that adds modified TBC and Wrath content tuned for level 60, and the community votes on what things to include or exclude from these patches.

A retuned level 60 Karazhan could work really well.
It could be similar to Zul Gurub as an alternate way to gear up for Naxx

You can raid as anything in Classic. Just keep in mind that you'll be doing shit DPS and contributing nothing toward raid utility.

You won't be allowed to use Mortal Strike, so your optimal "rotation" will just be auto attacks and the occasional Slam. If you really wanted to be useful you could get yourself the support weapons to buff raid-wide DPS in which case you will only be using Hamstring and nothing else.

going hunter this time though for a more laid back experience and probably a pve server. stealth is such a great thing for pvp servers though

wtf you can't enjoy think I dont like

Got into the beta because of my account age and experience. I had beta tested original WoW and had 50 characters over 60, no boosts. And I had known nothing of streamers and twitch before the beta. You see I'm an old man, a 36 year old man. The beta server is probably the most packed streamer server there will ever be. And I gotta say. It wasn't bad. I'm gonna miss those dudes. All that "invite me to asmon/staysafe layer" is because they were organizing events and raids. And if the raid was on the wrong layer the leader had to disband the raid and group with someone on the right layer then reform. What you're witnessing in that instant is a dumped raid trying to get reinvited. Those people wanted to raid. Not that they wanted to orbit a streamer. Well some probably did. And if you wanted to ignore it then just leave general chat for all over 5 minutes. I'm probably going to join up on a streamer server even though I don't watch streamers just because there are more community events.

Runescape is still the best. after all these years. Even with classic the World of Warcraft will be over.

You could just as well look at content patches vanilla received. Now, some of that content (like battlegrounds and Maraudon) isn't endgame-exclusive, but it should go without saying that even at that point patches primarily focused on extending endgame.

As for the two specific complaints, heroic dungeons are supremely offensive from worldbuilding standpoint but, unlike raids all of which are max level content to begin with, that's an easy way to effectively double the quantity of endgame-relevant dungeon content (8 of TBC dungeons are 68+ and heroic versions of those have the same loot besides last boss loot and MGT and 8 are

This is the best outcome. Obviously launch through naxx should be nochanges. But this is an immense opportunity for devs to see there are (hopefully) millions of people who don't want the current meta in gaming. Fuck convenience fuck esports. There is a market for people who like a game that rewards time investment. Real content that isn't cut up in difficulty, completed and released in pieces or locked behind a paywall. Its a time machine that they can take a step back, address where the industry made them go, and see what they could have done different.

no transmogs, flying mounts, lfg, cross realm matchmaking and mythic are the hard rules.

Letting them in your group means giving them a chance to gain loot over someone playing a real class. I’d rather not reward someone with an inferiority complex who thinks they’re the savior of their spec.

In a fair fight no, but the vast majority of the time nobody engages an evenly matched fight in WPvP. No one with a brain will engage a target that has an advantage over them.

That means if you're out in a zone trying to farm/grind/whatever you're only going to get attacked by those with a significant advantage over you. Either in level or gear, or because you're fighting an npc, oom, etc. Thus you're going to waste time running back to your corpse when you're not even interested in PvP at the time.
You can go out specifically looking for WPvP yourself and pick your own engagements, but that's less productive than doing BGs or farming/etc.

Town/city raids were fun back in the day, but in 1.12 they're dead because of DHKs.

your obsession is a mental illness

Remember that even world first guilds during retail vanilla were trash and they still managed to beat the content. The margins are extremely wide.

Now, it's one thing to go out of your way to make a meme guild like all druids guild: not only would they be handicapped by their garbage raid composition, such a guild concept would primarily attract mediocre players who aren't serious about the game. I wouldn't expect such guilds to succeed either, they never do even in later expansions where such a setup is supposed to be """fine""". However, not caring about autistically min/maxing raid setups is another (min/maxing your character individually is a separate matter). First of all, contemporary players are going to make characters closer in proportion to the kind of class distribution that's optimal. A random sample of serious players might even result in BETTER setup than what world firsts were achieved with back in the day with zero consideration given to consciously going for optimal setup. Moreover, the advantages enjoyed by contemporary veteran players are so tremendous that even a meme spec like feral, even without using Crowd Pummeler, could well be out-DPSing anyone from 2005. Since 2005 players still managed to clear the raids, this should obviously be fine. If played by capable players, you'd have to actively try to make a comp that couldn't clear raids without an issue.

So what's Blizzards plan once they run out of content in Vanilla? Make new content or go make a TBC server and bring the downfall of the game?

depends on your group, with a good group its relaxing, you can watch the fight from a safe distance and keep your buddies healed, maybe compete for healing meters in raids if you feel dedicated
with a bad group its a challenge

I've only healed in tbc & wrath but I found it quite fun, sure you are essentially just watching health bars for most of the fight but when you pull off last split second heals to save someone or keep a whole group up against all odds it always feels great

>hack fraud pirate server can somehow handle more players than an official blizzard stress test

Man I’m just not inviting meme specs because they have entitlement issues/inferiority complexes and tend to cause drama

You're thinking of Korean MMOs. XIV isn't grindy at all.

I very much doubt they will make more content for classic but then again I doubted they would ever release classic servers so who knows
there's certainly a lot of love for the first two expansions at least so I think releasing tbc servers would be the most logical next step

>Yea Forumsirgins making fun of based ASMONCHAD again

Like pottery...

Nostalgia is mental illness.
Nothing can be the same.

sorry ff tranny we're living in 2019 with 2+ monitors. maybe invest in a second one instead of HRT meds and dilation rods

Yeah okay but as someone who played a PvE server in 05 to 06 I greatly regretted it as it was not, and is not, the full experience. Game is supposed to be PvP. That's why the game has factions...

I'd be interested in them releasing future expansions but reworked with Classic philosophy.

TBC comes out but there are no flying mounts.
Wrath comes out, but doesn't introduce LFD or store mounts or achievements or ilvl.

Got into the beta because of my account age and experience. I had beta tested original WoW and had 50 characters over 60, no boosts. And I had known nothing of streamers and twitch before the beta. You see I'm an old man, a 36 year old man. The beta server is probably the most packed streamer server there will ever be. And I gotta say. It wasn't bad. I'm gonna miss those dudes. All that "invite me to asmon/staysafe layer" is because they were organizing events and raids. And if the raid was on the wrong layer the leader had to disband the raid and group with someone on the right layer then reform. What you're witnessing in that instant is a dumped raid trying to get reinvited. Those people wanted to raid. Not that they wanted to orbit a streamer. Well some probably did. And if you wanted to ignore it then just leave general chat for all over 5 minutes. I'm probably going to join up on a streamer server even though I don't watch streamers just because there are more community events.

daddy blizzard thanks your autism keeping this thread bumped reminding Yea Forums classic is indeed in 20 days

honestly, bar tempest keep/skettis etc tbc would still work fine without flying mounts. there are no zones like storm peaks that are fully designed around flying mounts

The most likely option:
>progress existing servers into TBC exactly as it was 6 months after naxx
>create a few fresh vanilla servers at the same time
>continue doing this until at least wrath because wrath was when subs peaked
What I hope they will do (and most likely what they won’t do)
>create new content post-naxx that follows vanilla design philosophies
>eventually release a different TBC with level 60 cap and no blood elves/flying/heroics/arena

cassie0pia

Just put flight points there, bang, job done.
Or a guy you speak to nearby who gives you a controllable gryphon that expires in 2 minutes.

Imagine a TBC with WC3 draenei, with a different race entirely replacing BEs

TBC should have been ogres for horde and high elves for alliance. Giving the horde a pretty race was one of the worst decisions ever made.

How are you people going to optimize your time inside the asmongold layer? I think we need to start a discord server where we all can help eachother scout for the layer and then when someone finds it he can invite everybody else. I think that if we get enough people we can exclusively level 1-60 around asmongold and he will 100% get to know us and remember our character names.

Nostalgia is mental illness.
Nothing can be the same.

the original world of warcraft is one of the best games ever made. it has nothing to do with nostalgia.

Damn, guess I can’t replay games ever again.

I really do rather like the contrast between the Draenei and Blood Elves, it's visually stunning and they're both very cool races with ties to Outland.

TBC seems to me a very well thought out expansion on paper, just poorly implemented in a few spots. Maybe implement a system where you can only make one Blood Elf/Draenei character to reflect how they're supposed to be relatively rare?

Do you actually trust nu-Blizz to make new Classic content? They don't understand what made the game good, even if they could make a new raid they can't write quests the same way they used to. It'd be so fucking tacked on.

Here's the actual better option. They just have a small dev team dedicated to making minor updates like Diablo 3 and start opening seasonal servers, fresh start for people who want to play again and compete with a blank slate. Possibly they could have a hardmode server with a different gimmick each season too. A server with half exp, a server with permadeath, a server with this and that to add challenge and spice the game up, but without permanently changing it.

It won't be the same retard, it will be even better

Vanilla is trash and a horribly flawed game. PVP is also the most imbalanced shitfest to ever exist. You're pretty much required to run through several consumables and weird niche items just so you don't get locked down by CC for 20 minutes.

I hope Classic will do well so that the design philisophy of the time can be resurrected, even if I have no faith in Blizz at all. It's a terrible company. It's more to encourage other devs to work on similar games in the future.
And also so that the "it's just nostalgia / rose tainted glasses" instant self-gratification cultural marxist Candy Crush player base can stfu.

Druid heal, it's easy, you can't fuck up too much, and if someone tries to gank you you can just flee.

Very unlikely, the game itself largely isn't the hard part. It's the tard wrangling that makes raiding difficult. If you aren't a drama llama or retarded, most guilds will be more than happy to take you.

There's plenty of casual guilds that don't give a shit how bad you are and will recruit you just to fill up those 40 raid slots

>girl
>on the internet
hahaha
no

Don't worry about it, the bosses are undertuned and it'll be piss easy, even easier than on pserver. You shouldn't have any problem as long as you're not a mongoloid, just read a guide for every boss before going on a raid.

Yeah the kinds of guilds that will waste 5-6 hours wiping in molten core. Nobody wants to join shit like that.

Remember when Ret-turds thought this was going to be their bis weapon because of bugged private server attack speed values? I member

that only worked on feenix iirc

and even then it was still a total meme spec

different engines

Everyone says how easy vanilla raiding is but I bet they've only done MC at most. Shit gets real at AQ40 but I expect a lot of guilds to give up on BWL as well.

Even with all these years of knowledge very few guilds will clear AQ, not to mention Naxx, maybe 1% of the population will clear it.

See you guys in Naxx

Attached: Screenshot_20190612-212318.png (1920x1080, 1.78M)

Even in AQ40, the only hard bosses are prophet and c'thun, everything else is pretty easy and mostly just gear checks

t. never played on Nost

The way Nost handled huge pop was with reducing draw distance to an absolute minimum. You could literally only see stuff 5 feet in fround of you. Mobs and players would just pop out of thin air. It was awful.

>Nazi symbols
get out

>and mostly just gear checks

And most guilds will fail those checks. Everyone says it's easy but let's see how many of them actually put in the work to get an entire guild geared.

if you can clear BWL you shouldn't have any trouble getting geared enough for AQ40

This, though considering the amount of retards in gaming nowadays, most will still have trouble. But people knowing their stuff will absolutely roll over it.

We all know that Vanilla WoW is peak comfy.
But, what zone of COMFIEST?

Attached: Comfycraft 3.jpg (1920x1080, 333K)

The hardest fight in the game is kel'thuzad. Four horseman is probably right after because everyone absolutely needs to know what they're doing. In aq40 it's really only c'thun, prophet and maybe twin emps if your tank gets one shotted repeatedly. In BWL the hardest thing is probably getting through the whelp room without fucking up and not being a tard on nefarian. You have a higher chance of wiping because some retarded mage/warlock pulled threat than because of any boss mechanic pre-naxx.

Why do Classic threads on Yea Forums move way slower than FFXIV threads on Yea Forums? Is there just less hype over Classic than FFXIV?

ffxiv just got a new expac and classic is 100 years old

Because FFags don't actually play the game.

Kenshiro pls

And the video he was replying to is footage of what then?

But this has been the case for months prior to the expansion release. So that can't be what you're saying.

what the fuck is there to talk about that hasn't been discussed to death already besides "hay guiz wut class lol"? The game is still 3 weeks away, too.

Neither do WoWfags. That's why they care more about twitch viewers than player numbers.

user, raids are 40 people are are genuinely undertuned for that. Realistically outside of the last few AQ40 bosses and for Naxx, you really only need like 20 guys to raid in vanilla. You can bring whatever the fuck you want for half the raid as filler.

Not according to the tor archives.

I thought WoW was supposed to have million of players while FFXIV only caps out at 400k. Shouldn't there be more discussion just because there's more of a sheer volume of players interested in WoW?

We know the truth.

My plan is to stay guildless until I get properly recruited by a group of chill guys who I'm running a dungeon with.
Don't invite my to your guild when you're just standing around in Stormwind, the fuck outta my face with that shit.

Discussion of what? The game is not out.

good luck with that

No? Everything has already been discussed to death.

user unless you're trying to be the best of the best, you're going to clear most raids in vanilla. They're simply not hard.

>Everything has already been discussed to death
>Discussion of what?
duality of man

this is how I've found guilds on the private servers I've been on and it's as good a method as any

>I love Feralas, Un'Goro, Tanaris
Great taste. Some parts of Desolace are great as well. Duskwood when i play Alliance, wich seems unlikely this time.

With 20 people they're fucking hard/impossible

I'll recruit you bro, I'll be pallytanking my dungeons just to scare away the minmaxers.

Both are true. What we know has been discussed to death and we don't know we can't discuss because the game is not out and beta has ended.

t. mud hutt dweller

No I'm saying you have 20 people who actually are playing well and 20 people who are just there to do a little extra dps and throw out some heals.
>impossible
Ony was 5-manned in vanilla using Naxx gear.

My requirement is that multiple people in the dungeon run are in your guild, I want to know that you play with your team as soon as I meet you.

>Ony was 5-manned in vanilla using Naxx gear.
well yeah because onyxia is pure mechanics.

but you're right that 20 good players will carry 20 bad players. thats what most raids are going to be like.

If I don't have a guild by 55, I'm making my own. And I'll certainly be running with them, since I'll recruit the founding members from the friends I make in previous dungeon runs. See you in Stratholme brother.

Attached: 1553278292883.jpg (446x650, 42K)

I had a pally tank LBRS last week, he did just fine. Dungeon tanking was never the problem, the issue is raid bosses are much harder to hold aggro on with that much dps going out. Druids can actually hold the aggro, they just lack survivability in raids.

Did you have to do anything special for him tanking, like hold back your dps or wait for him to gather threat before you start fighting? Just looking for tips.

>by 20

Problem with that is you don't know who will stick around, waiting until a higher level range ensures you only recruit dedicated players, not the casuals who will quit at 30 or 40 or BFA tourists.

Just let him run in and use consecrate first and you should be fine. Pallies are really good at holding aggro on groups, it's single target that's the issue, which all raid bosses are. Again, they have the survivability to withstand raid boss attacks, they just lack the ability to hold aggro, while bear druids have the opposite problem.

Fortnite is hardly discussed at all on Yea Forums must be a dead game. Have sex and experience life outside this chinese sweatshop containment board.

Real men had already been raiding for years in EQ before those "veterans" started acting like vanilla WoW was hard...

If the guild dies you leave for another one. Besides, this isn't an ultra hardcore game, you play to have fun, so join a guild of people you like being around with.
