I thought it costs 15 + 15 if you want to play both. i guess it's good news then.

The smartest move would be selling the game for 60$ on day one, with no subscription needed.

We know full well that the vast majority of buyers won't stick around for more than 4 months, might as well maximize the profits

Is it a bad idea for someone who plays XIV healer to start in WoW?

I hear classic healing involves a lot of beginning a cast and then stopping to save MP.

Yes. It also involves lots of not casting for at least 5 second for your mana regen to kick in.

>the smartest move is to make way less money
Brilliant

>Is it a bad idea for someone who plays XIV healer to start in WoW?
Healing fag here and no, it's not a bad idea. Healing in Warcraft from classic to retail is pretty easy. All you gotta worry about is MP, the rest is just hanging back and watching HP bars and debuffs. That's it.

Why would it be a bad idea? What does XIV do different?

Based retard

Good thing i have 1m gold, 3 TCG mounts and plethora of minipets / rare recipes (which admittedly are probably worthless) still on my inactive account, should keep me going for a year or a couple for free depending how massive the TCG mount inflation has been.

For evey 5 guys that would have bought the $60 and quit a month in theres one boomer thats in it for the long haul to play
for years.
You also need to remember, up until Monday blizzard execs thought of classic as a sort of minigame to retail on par with pet battles and mount collecting. They really believed this would be like 200,000 people at launch and maybe 20,000 after 2 months

What pvp server should I play on?

Herod? Whitemane?

How?
Everybody's getting the nostalgia rush they're looking for on day 1. That excitement is going to last a week at best, then you'll start seeing the servers getting emptier and emptier.
Barely any new subscription after month 3.
Games gonna be a desert in 6 months, except for the 15 autists that are already planning to log in every day for the next 15 years

from what I remember, HoT is the most efficient way to heal. in Dungeons you will mostly heal using your normal spells. Slower healing spells are more efficient, but it's not as if you need it.
Sometimes you will shackle undead using CC, while mostly you will shoot heals out on the tank, and shoot your magic wand (0 mana costs).
And sometimes you will shield (expensive mana cost) other allies that are not your tank, if they catch aggro. This is the only time when mana usually becomes a problem. Or if misspulls happen.
The biggest challenge for a healer is to adapt to bad groups.

I've had to bring this up numerous times over the years, but when you buy a subscription MMO, what you are actually paying for with the subscription is customer service. This is how the publishers and devs rationalize the fee. You are not paying for content updates, you are explicitly paying for the ability (and quality thereof) to call in or use the ticket system, or whatever, to address your problems regarding the game.

>$15 a month is a sum you need to think about before spending
yeah maybe get out of your parents house first

Holy moley the cock is 8-10m and nether rocket set is 7m, apparently i can afford 80+ months without even looking at the rest of my bank

It's a benefit of being subscribed to the real game, how much of a brainlet do you have to be to not be capable of understanding that it's not a different product, just an older version.

I waste 50€ a week on alcohol alone.
But I'd seriously need to increase that amount if I wanted to start considering Wow classic a good deal

Feels good to be rich right? I bought a gaming laptop to bring with me to work so I can play WoW but the fuckers cancelled my order so now I have to buy a different one.

Any other company would do it, but Blizzard just like Nintendo has army of literal drones which were conditioned to pay every month.

CRINGE

Dunno about XIV but PVE healing in Classic would be super boring. Raids are piss poor easy and and healing is the least engaging role when raid is on farm.

Start on retail if you want PVE healing. Cutting edge progression as a healer is pretty interesting albeit quite stressful role.

Ah yeah I remember that happening with the Nostalrius private server.
It was a ghost town when they shut it down.
Oh wait ...

Imagine wasting a month of your time replaying something you already played over a decade ago except infinitely worse now because zero discovery zero exploration zero new things to see and a total zoomer infested e-celeb ridden garbage community to boot

mana recovery built around MP5, that is to say spending 5 seconds of not casting spells is when your mana starts to regenerate, so you need to weave in a lot of healing and then no healing for your mana to regenerate

or play holy paladin and max crit chance because they have a trait that makes all healing spells that crit return mana

whitemane is pst

Do you have a vague idea what kind of subscription/services you can get nowadays for 15$?
Such a price for a game that obsolete is not only judaic, it's straight up anachronistic

I still to this day cannot believe WoW ever got away with the "subscription" model. You really can't overestimate the stupidity of nerds.

But you subscribe to nu-WoW, which is "new" and keep getting development.

there is not much time if you play 24/7 pvp for ranks on 2 characters zoomie but you will see that soon.

endgame in vanilla is literally waiting for battleground queues and weekly PVE lockouts

there are enough servers without streamers stay butthurt.

Both Everquest 1 and EQ2 have had classic lock and progression servers since 2006 (eq1) and 2015 (eq2). They require a $15 subscription fee and the majority of people playing that game tend to play on those servers.

So yes, people are more than willing to spend $15 per month.

lol no
every single server will have at least one e-celeb on it hoarding all shit around them, being funneled the first thunderfury, the AQ mount etc.

Name an actual MMO alive right now worth playing.

My guess is their lawyers said no. It's not a new game, and people already bought it for the same platform. Selling it again with no new graphics or revamps has many legal issues in different countries.

anyone who still has a Netflix sub is a grandma or a pozzed liberal

I mean, this filters out South America. So what's the issue?

Nigger the game got fan-translated on piracy servers years before the official translation for my language was even released.
There was a huge country-based community that only admitted our people because we're pretty racist and nobody wants to deal with other languages.

"People"

Classic stylized servers are nothing new. Many other MMO's have done it, including Everquest. On a private server, your character only lasts as long as it takes Blizzard to push out a C&D letter to the server owner. Moment that happens, you can kiss all your progress goodbye. On an actual server, you get actual GM support when needed. Most private servers will try to add voluntary GM support, but its up in the air how well they'll respond since they have no set of rules given to them by the owner unlike an actual mmo studio.

He's South American obviously
Should become glaringly obvious when someone pretends 15 bucks a month is something you need to bean count for, I'm sure he'll adjust to private server life and never realize all of his effort that gets obliterated by server wipes could have been used making actual money to play the actual game

>Q2 2019
>151 million netflix subs

pretty much every normie has netflix or is stealing someone elses netflix account. cmon, man

listen here pajeet, you're going to be subscribing to a service that won't be updated/maintained

Lots of end game encounters are designed around enrage timers, so if you don't kill the boss fast enough it enrages and one shots everyone (sometimes at the same time, usually one at a time so you have more time to get annoyed by it). To that end everyone needs to DPS, even healers. Personally I don't mind it too much since its better than standing around doing nothing. Especially with my scholar, I throw a shield on the tank and a HoT on the DPS that is in the fire, then I have 4 or 5 seconds to stacks DoTs on the boss before I go back to healing. Only time MP becomes an issue is for raids where there is a shit ton more healing to be done.

Approaching both games in the current year requires high amounts of autism tho
Wow classic instead runs on nostalgia

Good for Blizzard now they can claim people subbing for classic as real subs

I just want the game to work as intended. I remember so many broken dungeons and quests on private servers with no fix in site

I think the populations will ebb and flow. Since you're already paying for retail I could see people logging in during content droughts or a couple times a week to take a break from the current shenanigans.

I don't care about the service updates or the 15 bucks, I just want to play wow classic for a while with my friends and then move to the next thing

Not even him
last month I spent 200€ on MTG cards and even I refuse to bend the knee in front of such blatant semitism

A world with only 150 million normies has still hope, unfortunately they have much greater numbers

And I would never ever spend that kind of money on a TCG, our priorities are different.
I'm most likely going to play the game for one month, get bored and not touch it if I don't find anyone to play with regularly, I just want to try it out, doesn't mean I'm dumping a year long sub into it man

>but it keeps third worlders out
you retards don't get it, do you? literally anyone can afford 15 bucks a month. and third worlder wow players do nothing but play wow, so don't worry, you WILL have south americans, eastern europeans and even chinks with VPNs on your servers.

>self proclaiming to be a neet as if it was something to be proud of
>even then he only gets 1k for it
>he also buys porn
so basically what you are saying is that you are mediocre at neethood as well as normalhood?

it's very different
you get starved for mana in classic, you do pathetic damage and the healers aren't as versatile as in XIV so your average WoW healer has less than half the toolkit of a XIV healing class
on the other hand you get more flair and buffs to hand out, like shaman totems or paladin benedictions and auras

it's a really terrible idea to level as a solo healer spec in classic, but you can easily heal leveling dungeons as a dps spec as long as you put a few talent points in the healing tree and hoard some healer gear

Be careful relying on those numbers. A pet is only worth what someone will actually pay for it. You can post something that's "worth 300k" for 300k, or even 200k, and you still might not get a sale for months. A lot of the collectors have already bought the things they want, and unless a new collector comes on to the scene (more rare in modern times as it's such a daunting task to start) you'll be hard pressed to make a sale. I'd know, I tried to liquidate my stash of pets over time and got basically no where.

This has always been known. Why did you think it would be free?

I actually prefer my MMOs to have subscription. It keeps the worst shitters and third worlders away.

It baffles me that this game has survived so long. I could never get into it since that tab targeting bullshit would bore me to tears. You'd have to pay me to play it.

This, its not even hard. Log in friday, buy up raid consumables and log out. Log in tuesday, list raid consumables at a 30% markup. Its free money and takes maybe an hour a week. You dont even need real playtime you can do this on a level 5 character by seeding yourself some investment money with tokens and going from there.

so you never replay old games then? wasteful zoomer fuck.

Healing in classic wow is boring, the shittiest players played healers. Xiv isnt much different in that regard though.

you are acting like this was not an expectation

It doesn't filter them from nu-wow, how's it going to change for classic? Unreal how people are satisfied with paying a premium subscription for a 10+ year old game

This strictly improves the monthly subscription value; it now includes something it didn't previous include at no extra cost. OP's article phrasing it as "free" is retarded, but unless you're just somebody who thinks all media should be free, which is a totally different discussion, there's not much to bitch about here.

As much as I like Vanilla, healing in Retail is way more fun. It's also ridiculously OP in pvp. Seriously, play Retail if you want to play as a healer in WoW.

Was playing $15/mo. in 2004-2006 acceptable to you? If so, why is it not acceptable now? I'm really interested in your answer, although let me say now just in case that I don't think "well now it's a 15-year-old game" is a great argument considering the entire point of Classic being released and officially supported now is nostalgia and it bringing the game back to how it used to be.

It was a brand new game, for which they were making new content, the game is finished, it's over ten years old, and they aren't going to release any significant content for it, if you can't see the difference I don't know what to tell you. It's like you want to pay full price for an iPod for some reason, that shit is an old curiosity, and you can and should be able to get such old tech for cheaper than retail.
I can't believe I have to actually explain this to someone. It's like a consumer 101 basic ass concept that older products have deprecated pricing.

Cost is relative as you guys are arguing. However, subscription games, including back during the late 90's, were made under the assumption of two things:

1.Worlds would evolve, update, and/or be maintained to a specific quality.
2. Customers were willing to constantly pay for this (with a potential reward of $180 a year for this).

No game was perfect on launch, from Ultima Online to Everquest in the early days, to all the wow-killers from 2008+. However, they were being given money to buy from the beginning, and initially had some subscriptions.

The problem with post-wow mmos is twofold as well.

1. They wanted TBC/Wrath-era subscription numbers, and they wanted them now.
2. Despite larger budgets, they didn't know how to making fucking mmorpgs and later just relied on cloning WoW entirely. They were all Tortanic-tier launches and did jackshit to fix all the technical and core problems.

No one knows how to live with smaller subs or actual gameplay maintainance anymore other then Daybreak with Everquest.

Fucking Everquest has had 25 expansions and still ongoing. Might be a special case though because Everquest dev team includes alot of former players, and former devs went on to work on alot of other mmos, WoW included.

The 60 dollars was always pretty irrelevant anyway, when you play the game for years at 15$ per month. Plus they are probably shoehorning microtransactions into the game so they will extract more money than the initial game buy ever did

Some retarded shadow Priest will be denied a raid spot because I'll just be weaving r1 Mindblast between healing for maximum Shadow Weaving. Plus I don't have to buff anybody because the other Priests will have improved Fortitude and Divine Spirit. And I've got Blackout + Silence for when I PvP.

I would play it for a reasonable subscription like 5$ a month, and I don't want the subscription tied to a retail account because fuck retail, I don't want to support that shit product. This is perfectly reasonable.

They don't unless the company artificially lowers prices to get people to buy it. Many nintendo games don't get a price drop for years because people keep buying the game.
Cars drop in value because parts degrade and wear out over time.

>t. has never been on any private server

OK glad we cleared that up.

Erm a lot of old stuff does appreciate in price.

Bad argument to use.

Yeah bro I love custom tuning and server nukes

I... know that, you stupid fuck. My point is the 60$ initial fee was a tiny portion of your layout after years of subscription, can you read?

And running classic WoW takes way less comparative resources than it did back then as well, funny how that equation is only benefiting blizzard here

I'll take the golden age of subscription based games over the micro-transaction infested hellscape that is modern gaming. Back then it felt really fair, as long as blizz kept on releasing good content. It was like our sub was shares in the company and Blizzcon was our annual performance meeting.

There is a certain point where I just can't justify it, I'm not going to go back to private servers, but I'm not going to gobble this shit stream either

I know bro fight the power, I'm sure it's worth it considering you make like 3$ an hour on disability.

Can someone who played Warlock back then tell me how inconvenient soul shard farming for raids actually is?

Cars literally lose the vast majority of their value simply by driving off the sellers lot, and yes some games and some game companies can keep charging premiums, but for the most part games deprecate (and in fact consumers being stupid enough to pay full price for ten year old games is part of why golden boy companies like Nintendo and blizzard aren't forced to reprice their games)
And I never said it wasn't, are you ok?

Which EU server for pvp?

It's either that or paying for gold with real money or having Xao buy out the mod team for favors.

It was horrible

>And I never said it wasn't
You implied it wasn't by crybabying over it now and justifying 60+ said sub fee for it before.

Ok buddy, maybe next time you can try it, maybe next time you can understand that recurring payments will eventually far outweigh one time payments given enough time, it's not difficult so you've got a great shot!

You're confusing spirit with mp5. Spirit pre cataclysm doesn't restore mana during combat, mp5 will always restore mana. In classic only priests had meditation which gave you a portion of spirit regen in combat but cataclysm gave it to every healer.

Now you're going for retreating jabs, Troon detected.

INV TO THE REDDIT LAYER

Depends if you're a cuck or you can confront people.

Depends how many warlocks are in each raid, if you are the only warlock, just fucking kill yourself, if you're 1/5 it's not so bad, but you'll probably spend and extra 10-15 minutes to get them (unless you get them while farming other mats and shit anyway)

Right here

Drop Lasting Judgment, your melee attacks refresh them anyway and you just plain won't be using them in raids. I would also drop a point from Imp Lay on Hands and take Unyielding Faith instead, drop the two spare points into Percision for extra hit chance since you won't get any from gear.

Lol

You’re more correct but still wrong. MP5 will always ticks, spirit only starts restoring mana after 5 seconds without casting a spell, even in combat

Im on Thalnos. How bad did i fuck up?

bros i think im going undead priest, dunno

You're fine, assuming you can speak portuguese.

Ah right apologies, it's been a long time since I played a class that ever relied on spirit.

I'm a little triggered because you chose easy mode but they make great priests

Wait are you this fucking stupid you thought it would be free? Also who the fuck can't afford 15$ a month, how fucking poor are you? I spend more just going to lunch every day.

It is completely different in every way possible.
It's become a single player cinematic game with optional multiplayer whereas classic is a multiplayer game with optional single player.

basically they take up half your bag space and to get them you have to kill mobs your level for each one

I like the sub because it keeps idiots out of the game.

Nobody really cares about PvE realms. On the plus side you can guarantee they'll be far more English language dominated as the dedicated foreign communities flock towards PvP realms.

lord of the rings online sold lifetime subs and im pretty sure they made big money of that. For every person that sticks with it and ends up costing you money, you have 10 poeple that buy it, thinking they will make big savings, but dislike the game

You can easily make a game token worth of gold in two evenings so I don't really understand how Blizzard will profit from Classic. WoW is practically free right now.

the fact that people pay for this shit blows my mind

Someone has to buy the tokens off their shop first, bucko

you realize that with every token you buy with gold someone spent real money on it

Okay Yea Forums

How about this.
$500 lifetime access to Classic WoW (lifetime = until servers shutdown)
After this fee there's no sub.
You in?

implying anyone plays retail

You know people have to buy this token to sell it right? they're getting money from a whale and more subs who have potential to spend somewhere else.

>paying a subscription for an out of date MMO that will never see an update or expansion

Don't play warlock.

They should just separate both retail and classic subs with a lower price, but offer a bundle sub for both them. The sub for Classic is pretty much never going to back into it and the sub for retail is certainly not worth it considering how they've treated the game for the last three expansions, while also at the same time increasing the price for each one since WoD.

Nobody here is saying it should be free, just that a old ass game shouldn't cost full retail subscription price

It'd be nice if it wasn't tied to a retail wow sub, but they can't be fucked to do that and plenty of people are willing to pay it just for classic, so I don't really see a huge problem.

How much are wow tokens going for atm?

Sounds familiar.

3 fatal problems right there as far as I'm concerned, but I'm not a shit gobbling blizzard shill

I don't give a shit about retail wow, I just want to play a version of vanilla that won't get wiped whenever blizzard looks at it funny. Sure it'd be nice if it was cheaper, but 15 a month for something you can sink dozens of hours into a month isn't exactly unreasonable.

This is what a typical "I made it to C'thun in vanilla but I don't know the mechanics of Lava Surgers" poster looks like.

You're actually a moron if you think they're going to stop at vanilla when they could just reboot the entire game after naxx.

If enough people pay subscriptions just to play classic we will see at least TBC version for sure. Blizzard are jewish as fuck and they will keep a close track of how many people are getting subs just to play classic.

>he wants to farm his shards during the raid
>keeps hundreds of shards in his bank

don't go raiding.

Blizzard probably intends classic to be a way to give people something to do between expansions.

>You needed a sub to play WoW since the beginning
>surprised when you still need a sub to play it

Its not like its a extra sub, I mean its exactly like how it was back then(needing a sub), why would it be free now? People need to stop thinking that Classic and Retail are two completely different games, they are both World of Warcraft. It makes complete sense why you would need a sub to World of Warcraft to play World of Warcraft:Classic


Not to mention its not like they just used a old patch to run the game, they had to rebuild vanilla to work in the new engine and the new B.net framework. WoW:Classic is just retail but everything is just how it was in vanilla.

You mean after sunwell

Druids pass over druids of the opposite faction. Imo its a good idea because fuck even the idea of 2 druids fighting makes me want to watch paint dry.

Subs are such a bullshit concept

Isn't something like 13/17/21 better? you are missing a good chunk of mana regeneration if you go full holy

afaik they've only confirmed all of the classic content but yeah if they do tbc then I expect them to reboot from there similar to the way osrs has with a separate server so the no change memers don't cry

I don't know what you expected.

Attached: 1475101347839.gif (250x220, 1.97M)

>why would it be free now?

Because they aren't deploying new hardware or even the hardware needed to meet the player's demand
Because they aren't actively developing content
Because they are keeping the number of GMs at bare minimum by implementing non vanilla systems such as right click report and loot trading

Not that it should be free, but half of that would be the right amount, without having access to bfa because who cares about that garbage.

I won't, I did enough raiding as warlock in vanilla alone.

Hots are not efficient, and should only be used if you're a druid or moving and can't stand to cast a long spell. Usually your biggest, highest rank heal is the most efficient when you start raiding and then you downrank as you get more healing power.

Wait are warlock soul shards permanent or do they go away if you log out?

Shards never vanish. Its a pro strat to bank them so before raids you can just fill up and follow the raid to collect song flower and ony buff if you can pop it while its off cd. Later you will get DM buffs first unless your guild isnt that hardcore.

Depends on faction. On alliance, they will be pretty valuable due to scarcity compared to horde. Regardless of faction, you bring

so there will be no shortage of demand for them. The only downsides are soul shard farming, aggro issues, and okay at best DPS.

I wouldnt under sell lock dps. They just take a while to get going. They are the warriors of casters in that they need that gear to really shine since they dont get much hit at all from talents. But with a spriest in the raid along with a nightfall off tank you will see some pretty nice dps.

none of these people played vanilla

as a warlock i will do all of those things except fucking giving healthstones to every raid member

wow classic raids are piss easy so fuck off if you autists still want healthstones. at most i will give it to the tanks or healers

It's a matter of costing more than it is worth and not about what you can afford. This is how we end up with bullshit priced DLC and microtransactions because people aren't willing to abstain from buying things at prices they don't agree with. Voting with your wallet is the only vote that matters.

Don't do that. I want Blizzard to make a painful choice whenever they ban me, by cutting off their own revenue stream. They won't do that if they have all the payment up front.
Actually I'd like if more games were subscription games for this very reason.

You're right, it's going to be much, much bigger when launch hits. Can't wait for the assmad tortanic shitposters.

nelf is the true chadow priest

It's easy because they restricted the max amount of names one player can register at 3. So they just took the total number of names and divided it by 3 to see that they had 10k+ players on that realm alone.

They are going to quit in 2 weeks. In fact, Actiblizz made a genius move with this name reservation thing 3 weeks before release.

Reminder that $15 is less money now than it was in 2004.

Can't wait for a month to go by and you pretend you never made this post.

i've read somewhere recently that warlocks being good in vanilla was actually a private server meme due to different numbers/calculations or something and that they weren't really all that great
wouldn't know myself, though, never played classic

There was a limit of 3? I managed to get 4. I'm guessing that's just some bug.
