is it true high end naxx guilds demand raiders to wear diapers at all times during a raid?

I want to be a protection warrior, I never played WoW so I'm trying to do a lot of research first. Is the human sword specialization better than the Orc's 25% stun resist? Those are my two top picks for a warrior.

So who are we blaming after Classic fails? Blizzard? Zoomers? Retailfags? Trump? XIV trannys?

Isn't Classic also retail now?

Nobody wants to play this garbage

Camp Taurajo. Your entire "argument" is invalid, the Alliance are the bad guys.

Once classic fails we will blame them all

I think Blizzard are shitting their pants right now with fear that it won't fail. They've seen the interest and have no idea what to do about it. They were hoping it would flop and they could put it to rest.
Classic will be impossible for them to monetize like BfA or their other products. No cash store ever. No mounts, no pets, no cosmetics. They're fucked. It's going to be a thorn in their side forever that they can't make money on.

I do. Why does it make you seethe so bad you feel the need to shitpost?

do we know anything about classic server locations

Hi, I play FFXIV. I sincerely hope you have a great time with this game! I played WoW classic briefly on a private server and was surprised at how good it was, let's hope it lives up to the hype!

Assuming they keep releasing old expansions after Naxx is old and boring, at what point will you quit?
TBC?
Wrath?
Pandaria?

Fuck off you penis cage wearing dunce.

What in the fuck is that?

Hey XIVfriend. I play XIV too and I'm also eagerly awaiting Classic.

>some shit tents is the same as genocide

I'm hoping they stop after they cycle through vanilla, realize how much attention and subs it garnered, nuke retail and start working on wow 2 that plays more like the expac we should've got after BC.

People want challenging content and vanilla has none of that. This will be a massive flop.

I don't want them to release other expacs, but if they did I'd probably quit in Wrath once I got bored of fucking around on a DK before 10 years of nerfs

Personally I'd like them to open seasonal servers, possibly with modifiers, rather than release TBC Classic or Classic+ or whatever else people want. Just fresh servers, maybe with some kind of added seasonal challenge that applies to that entire server for it's lifetime.

Except for you. I hope you hate WoW classic.

It'll just run out of content, so Blizzard's to blame if they don't make a classic+ to extend the life of the game. Everybody was super positive in the EU stress test and apart from some minor lag in the first hour of the test there's been no fuckups so the game isn't actively being sabotaged. It'll likely die after Naxx is on farm for over 6 months, so it's not a failure if we get a good experience

This fucking soulful artwork

Challenging content is only valuable if
>The gameplay is literally anything other than tab targeting mmo shlock
>There are good, impacting rewards
>Fun dungeon/boss/raid mechanics
Retail isn't challenging in the sense the game is hard, moreso it's a brutal grind for bigger numbers and finding people that won't wipe your group on a group wide raid mechanic. Inflated numbers does not equal fun difficulty. The trick in classic is the actual basis to basis gameplay is fun and the loot you get actually matters. Honestly when was the last time you felt great about getting a drop after a week of grinding mythic plus? You might feel good for a second until you realize it could've been titanforged and the gear is just a set of numbers that does literally nothing differently than the piece you had before.

gg ez no re

Classic + won't work. Nu-Blizz cannot add to vanilla without fucking up.
Expansions are a bad idea too since TBC was the beginning of the end.
Best idea is seasonal servers, pretty much like the updates Diablo 3 gets. Literally one dev could keep things fresh for years just by introducing a new server every few months. One normal seasonal server and one challenge seasonal server. Easy content. Nothing is changed within the game, nobody needs to complain.

If not wanting to play as an ugly mutt makes me a tranny then show me the way to the dilation stations.

This isn't retail, retard, people are out in the world! Crazy I know.

it's not fine but it's better than servers ending up dead or the game being unplayable at launch

It's an inane minor thing to complain about, it's not worth the reeeeees when the actual game is fun. It's been talked to death and in the scheme of things if that's the only thing to bitch about then damn blizz did a good job.

Classic plus could work so long as they keep it separate. It's doesn't have to be all or nothing. I never understood that mentality in the first place.

I was excited for WoW until all the streamer shit ruined the entire feel of the game.
People have changed and have different desires, the game won't last long and I don't invest my time in things that won't be around long term.

What a terrible opinion.

Because despite the AH being dead there were dozens of people in TB and Org on the stress tests despite them solely being questing hubs. The starting zones still have hundreds of players pre-level 5 even with layering, there's no reason to sit in a capital city when people are rushing the content with limited time to play

Imagine being so retarded that you intentionally join a PvE server when the game is launched and dishonorable kills/battlegrounds aren't in until the second and third phase. Literally peak PvP.

Why is everyone so obsessed about streamers? It's everywhere I go, Yea Forums, the forums, youtube, everywhere. People spamming the picture of that guy with the fucked up teeth. I can't take this anymore. Are you people fucking 12 or what.

>inane minor thing
Watch the actual webms being posted. The latest one was recorded this stress test and shows a guy phasing out a different layer from his party as they're in combat with several mobs. That is fucking gamebreaking.

There is zero chance the current staff hits the same tone as vanilla. It will be jarring and janky even if its opt-in. It's a waste of everyone's time and resources to even attempt. It goes against the very notion of classic.
I don't distrust nu-blizz because I'm suspicious, crazy or paranoid. It's because I've been following them and I know them and if you'd been paying attention you'd also know how stupid the very notion of Classic+ is. It only makes sense if you forget who would be developing it.
Seasonal servers are an infinitely better idea for future content and basically impossible to fuck up.

>XIV shills
Rent free.

>an unreplicatable bug that's happened like 3 times is gamebreaking

Guns suck

XIV won.

Wow players can't shut up about XIV

Hurts does it?

I'll let you in on a secret.
PvE players don't care about peak PvP.

>What a terrible opinion.
TBC itself was fine, but it forgot what made vanilla great and introduced everything we would grow to hate. Linear dungeons, flying mounts, retarded lore rewrites.

Attached: 1565286021794.png (2485x1384, 3.91M)

Are you actively trying to make this game fail by excusing the same shit that made people drop retail?

Because the majority of classic players were streamers or streamer followers, that was the entirety of classic WoW's closed beta.
That is your reality, either welcome it or have fun seeing your nostalgia melt before your eyes when you see huge mobs of streamers rolling around.

I'm pretty sure it's just trolling/bait so it gives people stuff to shitfling about so the threads don't get labeled as a general and axed and shunted off to /vg.

Just go with it.

There are also webms showing people being fucked by feral horses. Does that mean you're going to get fucked by a feral horse tomorrow if you go outside? Or the victims of these horse rapes are going to affect your every day life?

We're all going on Grobbulus, correct?

>tfw I want classic and not all the modern garbage like modern talents, undead hunters and retarded storyline
>tfw I also want them to change classic to fix shit like paladins just autoattacking to lvl 60, some talents being shit, stuff like rogue sap only having a 90% chance of staying in stealth with the talent instead of maxing at 100%, and other oddities that just feel dated
>tfw I want to see some of the stuff I imagined they would add, like unique skills for every race/class combo instead of making that just for priests

it completely kills one of the core aspects of classic

straight up murders immersion, its supposed to be a living breathing contained world, where you encounter the same people, where you can't run away from your problems by layer skipping.

its cancerous nuwow garbage that doesnt mesh with the overall feel of classic, the feel that was a factor to its success.

it is a legitimate problem that will impact how well classic does. its a self fulfilling prophecy, its going to subconsciously kill immersion and push players away, therefore "justifying"itself"

Please, those of us who are actually going to play seriously will be so far ahead of the pack that layering doesn’t make a different. You tourists will be stuck fighting for mobs and quit before 20 either way.

Stalagg is apparently the Chicago (EST) server for the stress test.

Is one of the other two the LA one?

Come to me when they add a max level boost and a cash shop, dungeon finder or quests that handhold you every step of the way. Then you will have something to actually complain about.

I'm going to play an undead priest and help turn the tides in open world pvp skirmishes by healing and resurrecting other players!

But it hardly affects the economy since there's so few servers. The worst case scenario is that a few autists layer hop to get their Tidal Charms faster and the already low price of herbs/ore is worth less than it stabilised on at private servers

Nice fan fiction.

See: I'd be up for it down the line. Like maybe in a year, the open up bonus servers with randomized loot tables or permadeath or other modifiers on them to give people new things to tackle in the same game.

>layering is a fan fiction

/wowg/ is 99% futa draenei erp posts and furfaggotry, how is that any better?

All they need to do is subdivide the player models ONCE and they'll look 100x better.

How often does all that happen though? How much does it really affect you day in day out? Yeah these things can happen but who cares when it's such an inconsequential thing 90% of the time when compared to the amount of hours you just dumped into the game without noticing?

To be honest I'd kill for a WoW server that would be like diablo 2. Where items would give you spells. Imagine a warrior with blink, or a paladin with smite. Creating new playstyles in diablo 2 was the best.

Yes yes user, the sky is falling and everything you posted is certainly going to happen. Go back to retail now.

kys

Well this is what I want in the future and it's what I'll push. None of that Classic+ shit, no TBC. Just every so often we get new seasonal servers with the same Classic game, just with various different mods to keep it fresh. Who cares if they're balanced or not at that point?

Don't hide your shame by deflecting, xivg friend. Just because another thread is a cesspool doesn't mean your thread isn't the nuclear waste dump that has runoff that leaks into everything else.

The only good thing about Classic is that some russian will datamine the shit out of the client and get a private server up and running with the actual armor/hp values for free.

Stop downplaying it and assuming that I am a retarded casual like yourself which doesnt know how to interact with game mechanics. I would abuse layering to absolute max on extreme scale, probably with a help of addons. I would prob get 3k+ gold prior to 60 thx to it without single professions picked. And its fucking horrible for the health of game.

Half the playerbase will most likely be new people from retail

Someone should make an offline, singleplayer version of Classic so retro gamers in 1000 years can play it.

There are private servers like that with build your own characters and special items. They weren't very popular but they did exist.

This. What good?

thats cool. Wish I knew about them back in the day. WoW was cool, but it always had even more potential which the devs didnt seem to want to expand on.

Eh, I disagree. I think they did more good to the game than bad. But the parts that are bad are so bad now I'd gladly sacrifice the whole lot to go back to Classic, at least that's how I feel about it. I'd burn a hundred good improvements to remove the cash store.

>have to wait 4 months minimum before I can ninja a zin rok on my hunter.

Fuck man come on.

Shadowmeld is super useful and adds a whole new dimension to the class, with a super low cooldown. Wisp form is probably the best non combat racial in the game besides the human spirit, the amount of time it will save you in bg's and dungeons makes playing every other race feel like a burden at times. Honestly shadowmeld should be a hunter baseline ability, or at least a survival talent, it's too much fun when you successfully crit anime someone out of stealth, or use it to stealth eat in a dungeon etc.

Seriously, why are they like that?

Corecraft soon, la.

Shadowmeld breaks as soon as you begin casting a spell. What's the hype about "shadowmeld aimed shot". Is it just because it lets you possibly open in the window somebody doesn't have you targeted?

>being so poor you care about 10 something bucks a month for something you want to enjoy
ffs the state of this sandal weaving forum

Real shit is rolling Nelf Priest and shadowmelding by the lava in blackrock mountain with mind control primed.

Oh and layering will hard ruin the game for anybody who was hoping for group pvp. The moment you get 20+ people into an area it shards off and enemy faction won't even trickle into your layer, much less stick around.

It is the worst possible thing that could have happened to the game for people who wanted to relive classic pvp.

Blizzard has produced nothing but trash for the past eleven years and it just gets worse and worse with every passing year. The best thing they could do is close up shop and sell their IPs to someone else.

Virgin Yea Forums shit talkers vs Chad WoW Classic hving fun

As someone who played on stress, it's sort of the opposite. Once shit starts going down in a big skirmish people on both factions call for reinforcements from other layers and one layer ends up with a massive brawl bigger than anything you'd actually see in vanilla.

You used to be able to cast during shadowmeld before the stealth broke, it was kind of dumb.

It's still a decent skill. It gives you almost a guaranteed opener on someone if they're not paying attention. You can eat or drink during it. You can use it to cause your opponent to drop target, which more or less guarantees you get to open on the fight even if they started casting first. Hunter can Feign Death -> Shadowmeld to go invis mid-combat. Other stuff like that.

Yeah /vg/ is cancer but I've played with Yea Forums before and usually it goes well

priest have unique spells based on the race you pick. Human have desperate prayer (instant cast selfheal) and feedback (shitty melee attack enhancer) dwarves have desperate prayer and fear ward (buff that negates fear), night elves have elunes grace (short selfcast buff that makes you take less damage) and starfall (a 6 second channel that is like arcane missiles)..

fear ward is amazing for PvP and PvE, same with desperate prayer, feedback is garbage. But starfall is the ultimate garbage since all shadow talents buff shadow damage, not arcane damage. For min-maxing purposes NE is far behind dwarf and even human.

dont worry it will be dead in a few months just have fun

no guild and no friends means its going to take you 500 years to level anyway on a warrior

what every gaming company has learned is that microtransactions and low effort updates are the way to success. And if it fail just try again because it's still cheaper than making a good game

known to attract the biggest retards. stay out of the glowing puddles and keep shooting. Youre fine DPS but boring. And dont roll on everything. While hunters can wear mail and wield pretty much every weapon, they shouldnt try to wear it all

>first
Ahh, and a second reason to avoid this shit game. It started the trend of having a bunch of alts because single character progression stalls out behind time gates and you basically have to either do nothing most of the week or level up a different character to entertain yourself.
and a third reason! guilds being pre-requisites and pre-established things you must join rather than organic things that grow up out of player interactions while leveling, because of course you dont interact with other players while leveling.

Truly the most horrible of games

Hunters are fantastic at pvp but fall off hard for pve. Early on they are good damage, but they scale like shit. There are always a full raid spots for them for tranq at least.

essentially described this image in a nutshell

Nerds try really hard to LARP as masculine.They feel the masculine fantasy in Horde when the reality is that such brutish barbarians would kill them outright for being such scrawny weaklings.

Real chads don't play WoW at all.

in retail you dont interact with people leveling. in classic you do. unless ur a kirito larping "solo player"

You're an idiot for thinking that's an idiotic thing to do. For an asocial loser, rolling a warrior is the best possible decision ever, if you're willing to tank, because it basically guarantees you will be able to find a group for any dungeon of your choice from level 15 all the way to level 60. You don't need to make friends, join guilds, suck up to strangers and add them to your friend list after you finish a dungeon, you just log in, look at the chat, and pick whichever one of the numerous groups looking for the final group member the tank you want to join.

Yes, people did at first, because they were used to playing mmos where thats what you did. They did deadmines, they did gnomeregan, and such, out of habbit.

But then it became apparent, even before any important mechanical changes were done, that solo questgrinding; just sweeping through a hub, getting all quests, and knocking them all out, and moving on, was faster than any form of group activity.

Once this was discovered the only people who played together were just the weird casuals.

But then the first point in that post means that everyone is a casual in this game. c'est la vie

I'm pretty sure it was bullshit, but the post from a while ago that talked about Blizz releasing a separate server for BC and wrath as well in the future can be monetized greatly. Or at least on launch. They can launch the server, and then have a "one time" free movement for one toon to it, ie; moving a classic toon over to BC. And then charge like 20 bucks for every character after and then do the same for Wrath.

COMFY

That was straight retarded and has already been partially retconned. It was almost fully retconned back at the beginning of Legion, as the DK Frost weapon was supposed to summon Arthas and Ner'zhul, because originally it was going to be revealed that neither of their souls had passed on and were instead both inside of the remnants of Frostmourne.

Now, I said it was partially retconned because at the end of WoTLK, you see Bolvar put on the helmet, and now he sounds just like the Lich King because Ner'zhul is still in there, while Arthas is gone. It's never really expanded upon but it's pretty obvious that they decided to change their minds about that shitty book by the end of the expac, even though earlier they went along with it.

Come out of the closet whenever your ready user. It's CURRENT YEAR nobody cares about fags anymore.

The two biggest problems with dungeon finder in WoW is that:
1. It queues people up with people from other servers, complete strangers you will never ever run into again.
2. It teleports you and everyone else in the group to the dungeon, including people who got into the group as replacement for a player that lost.
Doing either of these things is physically impossible for an addon. Also, this addon doesn't even have automatic matchmaking, it's literally just TBC dungeon finder tool.

You deserve everything you've gotten.

You'll have the most fun as a mage.
Neither really have mobility options. Warlocks will solo level faster though.

Also not to continue sperging out but the original intent of the ending of TFT was that Arthas died upon putting on the helmet, leaving only Ner'zhul.

Paladin if you want to heal, warrior if you want to have guaranteed dungeon spots as tank and raid spots as DPS, mage if you want to have an almost guaranteed dungeon spot as DPS and raid spot as DPS.

neither of them have mobility

I picked the lesser popular US West server for my group to hopefully avoid this kind of shit.

It's a weird feel for me, because I don't have this nostalgia attached to Vanilla WoW. I played it, but it was mostly an escape from my shitty, isolated life. I had absolutely no contact with the outside world and my father abused me regularly, tearing me down to build himself up, making me listen to his fucked up past and be his personal therapist.

I don't long for those days. I want to look to making my future brighter than those days, and these days for that matter, ever were.

brahs i hope they remove layering after the first week or so after launch otherwise i fear classic will loose its magic of leveling with a bunch of new players and then running into them again

You heard it here first folks, XIVtards don't like enemies that actually pose a threat. What a gay game.

Oh no! Other players in my MMO!

If you want to play with other players go to your house. Oh wait WoW never got private housing, guess that explains why you have trash in Raids instead of just focusing on the boss. Have to talk somewhere.

Seems like they are just cheap. WoW came out before AWS was a thing but today there are so many ways to scale. The algorithm should basically be like

if playercount > max, createLayer();

and then just not even have servers just to ensure the max players in each zone.

aimed shot, viper sting, pet and auto attack finish every mob with minimal effort, if you're ever in pve trouble feign death to reset the fight, if anything is remotely challenging like an elite you can kite forever and freeze them if you fuck up or whatever. And the best part for me, is you are so fucking op because of kiting potential + personal tank that you can clear even red quests no sweat, so when you go into a zone and you have green, yellow, orange and red quests, you can do them all with a hunter, you don't need to leave something unfinished and come back later, even if you miss a ton fucking hunter can take on anything no sweat 9 levels above etc if you're even mildly capable.

If anything the only annoyance are the first levels without a pet, and having to restock ammo now and then so grab a slow weapon to save ammo, also remember to train higher levels of growl whenever possible makes life much easier.

It wasn't even remotely possible to get to level 15 in 6 hours....was it?

Is Tauren warrior the new pvp meta? with the equivalent of a 10yard range I think it's bonkers for a melee to have so much range due to leeway and their increased racial range.

all I want is Classic+ with new zones and TBC gameplay changes. that's all.

Rumors are Faerlina is SA but that's also rumored to be the streamer server. They'll probably pick whatever the streamers aren't so that means East coast is completely fucked lamo

PVP or RP-PVP?

Faerlina is the Spanish server
Thalnos is the Brazilian server
Herod is probably the streamer server

I may unironically roll Fairbanks even if I have shit ping to it

Why is it hard? Because of its mechanics or because of the gear requirements and absurd (often broken for months) impossible to complete numbers on bosses? Optimization is a challenge sure but after a certain point it's ludicrous to believe it takes more skill in this genre than in other genres. Enjoy your titanforge grinding based autist, i'm sure it will pay off one day.

Do you kill every mob you see that's your level for efficient leveling?

Fairbanks will probably the best US server as long as it isn't dead

I still can't believe Classic WoW is coming. It single handedly destroyed all retail WoW and FFXIV weebs. They will forever be stuck in maximum cope mode and it's amazing.

But this is far more likely on classic. Mythic retail content is significantly harder than any PVE elements of classic

>without a guild
unlikely
>without a mic
probably fine, but don't expect to get far quickly

Unless you are willing and able to ERP, do not play on an RP server

Unless you're the main tank or raid leader or some other critical role why the fuck would you need a mic?

Anything below Mythic raiding is a joke. He just gets transmogs / mounts in custom raids he makes while he watches a video

why

are you guys playing the same old game youve played 10 years before? nostalgic reasons? you will not have the same passion when you were in your teens, it's not the same time, you will get bored of it in a month, 2 tops....

You guys are deluded if you think asmons stream is about him earning items and killins monsters, his stream is about creating drama, having biased opinions and acting salty, just whatever makes his lil zoomer followers jump in their sits and slide that credit card like a monkey flinging feces out of excitement. Vanilla being hard has nothing to do with him staying or not, all he cares about is having something to do and pretend he cares about it, and vanilla provides near infinite pvp content so it will last him a long while, specially on phase 2 and beyond when he is going to push for high ranks, he is not going to stop until he becomes at least grand marshal.

idk, i leveled to 60 on a pserver but never got in a raiding guild or even got pre bis

Most classic players are new to vanilla, retard

If you're some regular DPS in a guild with no responsibilities then you don't need one. You should consider coming out of your shell and talking though. I made some friends in the beta running Deadmines. This game is an MMORPG after all.

I just finished playing the beta for a bit. Somehow it's just a better game, gameplay wise and in so many other aspects than retail. It's not about nostalgia it's just superior to what we have now. What exactly is wrong with burning through all the content in a month and putting it down anyway? I'm old enough now it's a blessing if i'm engaged in a game for longer than a few days, a week if it's 10/10 game of the decade.

Why do you never say this when any other old game gets discussed?

>Playing an MMO that uses every plot point from a previous MMO, but with even less details this time
lmaoing @ u

yes you can join raids as a pug, not every guild has 40 retards on time for every raid, if you're a holy paladin or a holy dwarf priest specially you can get invited to pug raids all the time, it might even be better because you're not tied to schedules, just make sure they don't have your items reserved or cuck you from rolling. Also remember you have to do your god damn attunements. Don't expect to pug raid as meme spec like feral dps or ret paladin though, probably not even as a hunter. Mage and lock might get spots too if you're decently geared. Problem is pug guilds don't always have the content on farm, so you'll probably waste your weekly lockout on a shitty guild that only cleared half the bosses or something.

Later on there will certainly be gold dkp raids as well, you'll need gold to bid on shit, just keep an eye out for tryhard guilds that already farmed all the content and start doing gold dkp raids once their mains and alts are fully geared and completely bored out of the game.

You’re ignorant.

So you’ve never played a real MMO. I pity you.

I never played vanilla (started in wrath) but I did play all the available stress tests and leveled multiple characters to max in their respective tests. I can't wait until vanilla releases. The game felt so perfect from the very beginning.

I wasn't anyone special in the story, just a random recruit who showed up to help. I was extremely weak and had to think about what to pull. If I over pulled I died. I had to group up for a few quests with other people and actually added them to my friends list. Every new piece of green gear that I got made me exited. When a blue weapon dropped I was extremely happy. The world felt massive since I had to walk everywhere. Everything about the game was perfect for me. This is what I always wanted.

For the average player the old games were actually a better experience because all the items were paid with the iron price.

Few people will have the patience to tard wrangle a 40 man pug raid.

FFXIV story is absolute horse shit. i hope every member of the scions dies a horrible death. ARR and Heavensward is a travesty. I regret ever playing that shit.

>being used to so much garbage for lore that you don't bother to expect a good story
Figures WoW would hate anything story related. Keep pressing buttons and clearing badly designed battle content. We'll be having fun discussing story.

What server are we going on?

the "i've seen everything years before and i'm bored to death" server

>because its the truth?
That doesn't answer my question. I asked why you don't say this about any other old game.

whycome he have giant pimple on forehead

It's and rpg-pvp game, people like that, people didn't stop liking it, they just couldn't play it anymore because the stupid expansions removed the level cap and made all the content before that irrelevant.

NO DUDE IT IS DIFFERENT
THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT CALLED THE ZILART

because WoW is something that many people hold dear to them it reminds them of simpler times
it's the same shit they've seen over and over again before fresh new content was available

Must suck to be so poor that the sub cost influences your decision.

>want to play a warrior because tanking is comfy and you'll always have an easy way getting a dungeon group going while leveling
>want to play a mage or a warlock because both classes are brainless when raiding and its super comfy to casually raid with them
>want to play a rogue and just be a shitter in world PvP with one
bros....................

WHITEmane, of course.

MMOs are supposed to be about making your own story. A single-player game where the main draw is scripted events is not an mmo.

Mage will have the most fun, Paladin is the coolest feeling, Warrior is the best on paper

A lot of people seem to be inclined for Grobbulus, also seems that it's going to be an extremely healthy server regarding faction balance so that's a plus.

You've never gone back to replay an old game that you loved? That's not living in the past or nostalgia, that's just enjoying a piece of entertainment.

That’s fine, I hope you enjoy your massively single player online experience.

Why do you keep dodging my question? I'm asking why you don't say the same thing about all the other old games that people are nostalgic for.

Aryan Blonde Human Warriors on Whitemane.

>wanted to play something with melee combat
>forgot there is literally nothing besides rogue for actual dps
Guess it's Nelf Hunter again, Might as well go full classic and get King Bangalash again.

Whichever layer Asmon is playing on of course

rogue is also brainless and comfy in raid so it meets 2/3 of your criteria

>making your own story
If the game cant even offer a solid story and requires you to create your own backstory then its trash. FFXIV took the "Chosen One" story trope and made it work beautifully in the MMO setting. It also helps they perfected the systems WoW created leaving it in the dust while perfectly leaving behind archaic systems.

Why do so many people seem bent on convincing people to not play classic?

>I'm asking why you don't say the same thing about all the other old games that people are nostalgic for.
it's the same thing

Warrior DPS is great, but if you do both PvE and PvP you'd be constantly respeccing between the two. Also people will hassle you to throw on a shield and tank leveling 5 mans.

Who else

>TAUREN WARRIOR

You don't even like the genre if you think that an mmo needs single player cutscenes. It's like complaining that you have to shoot people in an fps.

>Can't decide between Dwarf and Nelf for my Hunter
I will just flip a coin right before creating my character

I see a lot of WOW fags on plenty of FF14 threads, but all they have is the past to cling to.

>it's the same thing
So why don't you say it in other threads about old games? Why is classic wow the only game that you keep posting this about?

Yea I don't really want the hassle, if I wanted to tank I'd play it, but my group already has a few which is nice and we have no hunters, so figured at the very least I could rock that again.

>challenging content

>dab on
ok

>who else GENERIC RACE THAT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME NO MATTER HOW YOU CUSTOMIZE IT

I want to play everything, but it's hard to ignore mage as the apex stone of class design in classic. They're strong during every phase, they're always good in pvp, they're always desired in dungeons and raids, they have the best cc, super strong cooldowns, blizzard spam is the most broken skill in mass pvp, they even look good in most of their sets, they have unique mechanics that help fellow mages build up more damage, free teleports, free food and water, second best flag carrier in wsg... etc etc

My only concern about maining a mage is having to fight so many clothies for gear, and I don't particularly like relying on trinkets to maximize dps. Still unsure at this point because two of my friends are going mage for sure and I'll have to end up healing or tanking for them.

Can somebody do an edit of that boomer/zoomer meme but where the fortnite zoomer is crying in the bed inside and boomer is outside with the barrens music blasting?

Yeah, Mythic+ raids are challenging. Vanilla has 1 mechanic per boss, 1 button per class gameplay.

>can’t even offer a solid story

Stopped reading there. You can’t be expected to be taken seriously as a critic if you don’t understand the concept that different games try to do different things. Not every game is measured with the same yardstick. If an MMO isn’t trying to tell a good story because the focus of the game is to create player community, that’s not a strike against it.

Tortanic syndrome combined with the massive amount of modern MMO players that don’t want to see things go back to the old ways. They like their dress up simulators and dungeon finders and achievements and accessible raids, and they have had all this for so long now that the mechanics of good MMO design is foreign to them. Years of catering MMOs to the casual player has done this.

Sounds more like a shit excuse for someone who doesnt want to admit their game has a shit story. Even Stormblood''s weak and broken story is better than anything WoW could offer. Pair that with polished content that makes anything from Classic or Modern WoW hide in shame and you have a solid MMO. How about you go buy some Cash Shop items and Sub time for mounts, maybe then youll get something to brag about instead of further feeding Blizzard's wallet.

i was completely new to MMOs when vanilla came out. i was 14 and didnt know what i was doing. i HAD to interact with people. everyones experience was different tho i suppose

>finish watching the "story"

Great MMO, time for afk in limsa until your sub runs out.

I wonder if FFXIV's next expansion will be a 1:1 copy of Chains of Promathia.

Tauren have some of the most distinct customization options in the game though?

It's more about flexing on others and epeen, you can't really fuck people on BFA, they have those fucking stupid bodyguards that insta respawn, there really isn't any class mechanically challenging in classic, besides maybe some ultra tryhard feral druid developing carpal tunnel for optimal rotations.

Is this poster LARPing? The poster claims to be a FFXIV fan but they're attacking WoW because of its cash shop?

I can't wait

Nah, Chains of Promathia was actually good

>No negativity in the dojo.

>nothing else to do
You can max out your classes, do your crafters, get all the mounts including all PvP variant of the mounts including Grand Companies, Golden Saucer and its mounts, decorate your house with expensive pieces which require farming of treasure maps and Hunts. Sounds like you're just a raidtranny.

>i dont like the massive multiplayer part of massive multiplayer games
sounds like you don't like the genre

Oh yeah, but I mean, plot wise, all 14 has done so far is copy 11's plot points as much as possible.

If somebody had asked for my personal information I probably would have given it away no questions asked. God, I was a painfully stupid kid.

Are you actually an XIV player scoffing at WoWs cash shop?
Excuse me?
Your cash shop sells a mount thats objectively better, and there's no "buy sub time to get it" deal, you just buy the fucking mount
WoWs cash shop doesn't include outfits or emotes, either

>Blizz literally left the new raid tier literally and mathematically impossible to beat for months
>titanforging is still a thing
>Bro why don't you play shit games competitively?
The game isn't hard, just a gear treadmill with ridiculous number inflation to compensate for the fact they make raid mechanics for stay at home moms and children. Grow up.

I hope it will run on my rig

FFXIV is stupid, so it's supposed to be a game about glamour, but hey we only have those available for a limited time! so be sure to sub during that time! but don't worry, if you miss it you can buy it later for only $29.99! what a bargain!

>WoWs cash shop doesn't include outfits or emotes, either
Majority is from Korea and China, SE doesn't make it and probably has to sell it to pay for the license of using it when its originally region exclusive.

maggeee. portals and biscuits alone will make your leveling experience better. im not rolling mage this time because ive playe mage for the past 13 years but you should TOTALLY roll mage

nice list of busy work. maxing the classes is possibly the only thing you can do and once you do that, you're left with nothing but playing MMO sims.

move here

If you read the post you'd notice that SE can't exactly not sell them cause of their China/Korea exclusivity. Not like they make it in-house to directly sell to us, probably wouldnt exist if it wasnt for those shit regions.

use your extra cycles to mine monero or some shit and then dump the coins into WoW gold.

I hope you at least have a 4k monitor

Nah, 144hz 1440p monitor, and games are so poorly optimized nowadays that you cant even get 144fps on many games (even reducing shit like shadows, af/aa)

i like that i can hop on for an hour or so after work and snag some quick pieces. i plan on spending some stupid amounts of time playing classic just through the winter and then chilling out. by the time shadowlands comes out (i hope it comes out), ill be back to retail casual mode. i cant imagine my nostalgia is gonna fuel me for ever. ive got other shit i gotta do. but im gonna binge the next year while i stay in and try to save money.

classic silverpine is fucking awesome
