who has the longest wait time for wow classic /v?
344 mins here on oceanic pvp server and ive been in the que 1 hour already.
There's still only one server isn't there? Blizzard are so fucking retarded
wtf how does your que have 4 times as many people in it and 5 hours less of a wait time?
Pretty sure your timer is way off.
yes correct, 1 oceanic pvp server.
There is also 1 oceanic pve server but i think that has a 3 or 4 hour que,
Can anybody confirm the oceanic pve server wait time?
Can't imagine the wait times for anyone over my number, goddamn.
As the number in queue goes down my timer goes up
SCIENCE
well if oceanic is anything to go by you are going to go up to approx 20 hour wait
I entered Firemaw queue before launch and I'm still waiting
Why are there so few fucking servers for this. The rppvp server having a 5 hour queue is ridiculous.
Move to Incendius they said. Smaller queue times they said.
Oceanic too. What sucks is I was in but was kicked 15 minutes before it was up.
You are like baby.
Watch this.
>get past the queue
>world server down
FUCK
Soon my brothers!
This is honestly pathetic, piss on the head of every single manchild on earth trying ti play this right now. Good riddance. I hope you never get in.
this is pretty much mine too. going to go have a couple beers and some food and hopefully not have too much longer to wait after that
fuck you I JUST WANT TO GO HOME
Welp back to XIV i go :)
Why didn't they buy more servers?
I've been waiting for an hour and a half and I'm still at 200
How did the streamers all get in so fast? IS there a streamer pass
This
Not all did, Swifty got stuck in a 26k que, then got kicked out.
hehe... see I told you... you thought you did but didnt
LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN LET ME IN
>logged in 3 hours before
>playing non stop
>blow a fuse in room
>in que at 225539
The queue is to the character select screen which you've been able to get into all day, so they were just sitting in that until launch
it estimates based on how fast the line is moving, not just the length and girth
They hate wow classic and expected it to fail, thus they only released a handful of servers.
I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored I'm bored
12 hour queues on Herod
lmaooooo
sitting at 1200 queue on whitemane.
What are blizz forums like now
Is everyone complaining? They better be
9pm is universal bedtime on a school night in the states, so in 2 hours i expect the east coast queues to drop dramatically
>servers are a huge mess
I'm home where the servers are an unstable fiasco that crash every hour
I mean blizz told them this shit would happen, layering cant handle everything, thats why they told people to spread out on the lower pop servers. What they didnt think through is that there is literally like 20 times the people they expected to actually play and every realm has queues now
What queue size for someone who just now queues into Herod? Anyone got a recent screenshot?
>on a school night
about 80% of us schools don't start until september pal
Because in a month when 85% of people stop playing, they wont have to worry about as much overhead?
I don't think this is true.
not quite top, but it's up there.
I logged in with 3 minutes to do (my mistake) and there were 16k people head of me.
It started at 230 minutes, went down, and back up again.
it's true if you're only considering the east coast of the US
UNDER SEVEN MINUTES BOYS
I'M COMING HOME
Because once zoomers quit in 2 weeks the population is gonna drop by 50%.
I've been in queue for 2 hours already. Still have ~7300 people in front of me.
Wew lad, what a shitshow.
lol, but even then. school is in for a lot of east coast spaces.
Been waiting for like an hour and 45 mins. In soon though I hope. It's close.
i got in but my game froze loading into the world
>moved from Herod to Skeram when it first came up since daddy Blizzard told me to
>been in queue since 30 minutes before launch
>still hours left to go
th-thanks...
OP here,
gave up on my que and went into a pve server and got straight in.
Then i went back and checked the pvp que again.
772 minute wait now for oceanic pvp server
(almost 13 hours)
its also only 10am so once its gets to around 6-7pm tonight and everyones home from work i can see that wait time going way higher.
it's been like that for an hour
ONLINE BROS WW@
POST PROGRESS
10 hour queue.
WHY ARE SO MANY AUSBROS PLAYING THIS FUCKING GAME
I WAS FUCKING IN BUT I LEFT BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WOULDNT HAVE ENOUGH FOR A QUEUE
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Due to very high demand, we’ve opened two new WoW Classic realms in this region:
Kurinnaxx – PvP - Pacific
Kromcrush – PvP – Eastern
We suggest that players choosing a realm consider one of these, as other realms currently marked as “Full” population will experience extended queues.
Thank you!
But I have to be on the same realm as my favorite streamer.
I'm more worried about the server being empty AF after 2 weeks
>durrrr go play on the servers that will be dead in a months goys, go take one for the team
Those fucking jewish retards should’ve just had 7 PvP server choices right from the get-go. But instead they had fucking 2(TWO) I honestly hope they get 9-11’d they deserve it
WHY AREN'T THEY OPENING MORE SERVERS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
They did, and they became instantly Full status.
kill me pete
been in the 500-800 range for an hour. I hope it moves quick.
i was online till i blew a fuse
Wtf is "oceanic"? Is that for strayans?
>all you faggots in queue
>not realizing once you get in it will just say world server down
save me from this hell
for people who live in atlantis
aus/nz and our vassal states like png
Lies.
ALL LIES.
At least you're past the first chokepoint.
>hit level 7
>3/4 of the server disconnect at once
>back in 12k queue
Fuck Blizzard and FUCK their servers
Imagine if they launched with the tiny handful amount of servers they originally planned. Fucking lol.
Blizzard wants everyone to play.
AND without layering
I've been clicking this button for two straight hours. I reckon I'm up to several hundred clicks. I would rather be in queue.
works fine for me, pm'd you the fix, hosted on megaupload
One minute
Blizzard data centre explodes and california is a smoking crater.
The next
Blizzard said it's my turn to play.
Waiting here since before midnight
and i'm sppossed to get up early tomorrow.for important studies shit
the >1 is BS.
fuck, gonna need 50 clocks to wake up.
>tried to enter the Undercity
>get stuck in instance not found limbo
This shit is like the Draenor launch but MUCH WORSE
mine just jumped from an hour to 3 hrs god dammit blizzard
good professions for druid?
leatherworking, alchemy. don't think you can use engineering stuff while shapeshifted
EVERYONE WHO BULLIES WOW CLASSIC WILL GET RAPED AND FUCKEDDDDDD
Just go to bed so I can get in faster wagie

>terrible graphics
>repetitve, dull gameplay loop
>slow, boring combat
Turns out Home is fucking boring.
Nice game you boomer faggots got here, sure sounds fun to sit and wait for hours in a queue just play some shit game.
this is bait and NOW YOU GET RAPED
i think you can skin in catform
Ah... Now I'm truly experiencing the classic experience
Enchanting and Engineering. You can drop Enchanting if you don't want to tank, or after you make the tank trinket, which is BiS. Can replace with either Herbalism or Alchemy depending on how rich you are.
How you handling the drought Nintendo?
You idiots now you can click change realm, then click your realm to bypass the queue right?
Blizzard thought WoW classic would be a meme
this
fucking retards
oh shit word?
YOUR SEXUAL RAPE IS HERE NOW YOU GET FUCKED
Just press alt+f4 to bypass queue :o)
Seethe more oldman
AHAHAHAHA I HOPE THE SERVERS STAY DOWN ALL WEEK
better yet. once you get on, go into stormwind. quests are bugged and you can turn in the wine quest over and over again for like 30 copper each time
YOU BITCH YOU MADE FUCKING CUM NOW YOU GET RAPED I'M GONNA FUCK DO IT YEAH YEAH YEAH LET'S RAPE YOU
alt f4 enables developer console, completely bypasses as well
>wait in 25k que for hours
>world server down
>streamers almost in tears
>thunderbluff and undercity elevators aren't spawning
>everyones getting stuck on the threshold to capital cities
is the alliance having this problem or just the epic horde gamers
Streamers should bypass queue and should be allowed to play on the backup GM world servers.
So, which realm is the Yea Forums approved one? I'm not gonna subscribe until tomorrow, but still, I might hop on it
you guys should be taking this time to watch class videos and play with talent calculator, not playing grab ass on Yea Forums
Faerlina
Where's the Herod cucks at? I want to see your queues.
>surprised there's no queue on Herod
>game won't finish loading after clicking play
I guess I can't even login on the queue server lol
I wonder how many suicides this post just caused.
Isn't that the streamer one? I don't want that one
I'm an undead stuck in purgatory as well, which is totally fitting.
most people here cannot even get into the game. 23k que here with 700 min estimated wait time
THIS CREATES MUSTARD GAS, DON'T DO IT.
Had the same problem in Stormwind
Only had to wait half an hour on my rppvp server
I'M TAKING SHIT OH YEAH YEAH YEAH WHO WANTS TO TAKE A SHIT WITH ME OH YEAH YEAH YEAH LET'S ALL SHIT TOGETHER OH YEAH YEAH YEAH COME ON AND SHIT NOWWW!!!!
whitemane
enjoy your unironic 30,000 que
>go into ironforge
>get stuck in limbo
fuck
there's not really Yea Forums communities i don't think
Grobbulus is the Yea Forums server iirc
2k left, 90 minutes. I've been in line since 4.
4 hours. Kill me.
That is smaller im at 13k on Thalnos
Imagine being such a cuck you play a shallow combat game genre where you have to wait 6 fucking hours to play.
>Swifty didn't get his name
has blizzard ever had a smooth launch of any game?
>world server is down
Skeram, its been 2 hours. Started at 10k
NA Yea Forums is on grob.
Who else 10+ hour queue here?
3 hours of waiting on Incendius so far
Put all my toons there the moment it opened, didnt realize you could que up as well.
I just wanna taste home tonight
ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM I AM ZOOOOOMER
GO FUCK YOURSELF AND DIE YOU BITCH GET OFF MY VIDEO GAMEEEE ZOOM ZOOM ZOOMIES ZOOOOOMZER
Ah, yes... this is the true classic experience, broken servers.
tried to get into stormwind. entire city has no npcs. can't enter the tram. once you do enter the city you're stuck there and can't log back in. i'm now in the queue for a different server because i found out some of my buddies who said they weren't gonna do classic changed their mind
Deleting system32 also makes you download ram faster.
Servers are super fucked.
>RP
no thanks, I'm not that much of a faggot.
I need a PVP or Normal one
on the bright side this is simulating when I had to originally wait 3 days just to install the game on dial up. All I could do was stare at the game case while the patcher downloaded at 56 kbit/s. Thanks Blizzard
So it's the motion of the ocean?
is that a song
my sides
There is no actual RP.
I guess you could just go to sleep
-----------ATTENTION-----------
NEW SERVERS JUST WENT ONLINE
NO QUEUES
GO GO GO
-----------ATTENTION-----------
I was tired of waiting for Herod's queue, so I went to Kromcrush since it was supposed to be a "new" server.
After sitting in queue for 40 minutes I finally got in.
WORLD SERVER DOWN
I'M A BIG ZOOMER AND I LOVE TO SHIT
>group of friends have already been playing all day since launch
fuck me
literally what the fuck at 2 AM on Tuesday EU realms have HOURS of fucking queues
YOU THOUGHT YOU DO MOTHERFUCKER
indeed. not even mad, as this is the legit vanilla experience. i'm more miffed that there's a few ui changes that i really miss, like having my remaining inventory number displayed
>tfw cucks are still in queue and I'm already level 6 on my hunter
Comfy leveling bros.
I'm surprised how stable the game is first day knowing blizzard and their history of imploding servers.
THIS IS HOW MY ZOOMER TAKES A SHIT
You didn't listen.
There was about 1.5 million australian wow players at peak.
Lets say 10% of those come back for Classic.
150k people on two servers....
I'll be playing in LESS than 3 hours. Feels good.
This is where I am now
they just reformatted a few BfA servers
MMMM POOOPIESSSS
More scat please
most hyped blizzard launch in ages is a 15 year old game
>join one of those servers
>still has queue
>finally get through queue
>world server
Imagine if you had fifteen years to get something right and not only do you fail, but you fail absolutely.
Honestly this. There are people unironically waiting anxiously to play this garbage all over again, with stacks of junk food on their messy tables.
You will never be able to go back to how it was.
Don't listen to the timer. It's complete bullshit.
Some undergrad probably wrote the timer using whatever bullshit they could think of.
HAHAHAHAHHA PEOPLE LITERALLY PAID
>MONEY

BAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH

yep, even WC3 reforged won't make it
I used a wow token :)
Alright so how long do I have to go afk before getting booted? Logged out to take a shit and realized that was NOT a good idea
You’re taking too long. Post more scat.
what realm
FUCK YOU I HAD PROGRESSED 2k INTO MY 15K QUEUE ON FAIRBANKS
ALL OF THAT PROGRESS
GONE
Now I'm stuck in a 5k queue to get into Kurinaxx!
Blow Me, a medium pop server
I started my queue at 4:30. I'm almost home
I AM ON THE FUCKING CUSP
Well I didn't actually check, I assumed there wouldn't be a queue ;)

>I COULD DO IT BETTER

stay mad zoomer faggots, I'm going home
YOU BASTARD!
Going back to bed.
arugal?
you can tell that everybody complaining about the wait times is a zoomer, too, because the original wow launch in 2004 was a legendary shitshow. if anything, this is that classic experience they were begging for.
>on grobb

Well guys, are we home yet?
Just walk away man
I've been stuck at 100min for like a half hour
remember when they took all summer to ‘work out the kinks’ so shit like this wouldn’t happen
Seriously fuck Blizzard it took me an 30min to even buy a subscription now this fucking shit fucking kike bastards im going to shit in their fucking mouths fucgfdsgxdfsrrgfsrgesdfrgfdthrtyg
just like old times, i still remember posting on the forums about this when WoW launched
I'm at 15000 in line with a 405 minute wait time.
skeram
probly not playing tonight lads
FINALLY FUCKING CAME THROUGH THE QUEUE AND THIS SHIT COMES UP
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Just fuck my shit up
NOT OKAY
They only just started adding new servers about a month ago. They even admitted they underestimated the amount of people that wanted to play.
>Take time off work
>Tell GF today is special to me and expect me to be distant and play a stupid game all day

Please tell me these wait times are a poor estimate and Ill be in there soon...
if this happens to me I'm killing myself on stream
It fucking does, the QUEUE is a FUCKING LIE THE SERVERS DONT WORK
On a scale of Critter to C''thun how fucked are the Retail Devs?
nah it's fucked dude. Should've taken tomorrow off.
Arugal (AU PVP)
Feeling nervous here
Incinerus
You probably wont be playing tonight user.
3 more NA realms confirmed
what was the point of all the stress tests and name reservations, they didn’t seem to help
By the time you get in, they'll be shutting down for weekly maintenance.
RIP
How the fuck are there so many people even on low pop realms WTF
These the only queues I'm in boys.
>phone games can identify users that are likely to spend more than $200 in the first 15 minutes of playing
>but blizzard can't figure out how many people want to play classic over 5 years
Ah, you have discovered the truth.
You are Dante, descending the levels of hell.
oh god he’s right
They are adding too many new realms.
They will be dead in a month.
did you seriously take a fucking pic of your screen?
Holy shit Dwarves are based. In Mulgore it was just first come first serve on mobs
they're 100% accurate goy
Actually devastated. How could blizz not predict this? I was happy to play on a lower pop server too but there were none on oceanic.
I've been in queue for 3 hours now. Just """"""4"""""" minutes left, which could turn into 40 so who knows.
I'd love to be in the Warcraft NOC right now. Their ops team is probably boozed up and pissed with their upper management yelling at TVs.
I've been sitting on 90 queue for forever now on Whitemane.
>dwarves line up like sheep
>undead group up and kills high level mobs
glad I picked the right side
because tauren are all alphamales
>get to level 6 on my hordie
>realize my guild on retail rolled on another server
Also I think this realm is massively british and we like to form orderly queues.
Who cares I'm playing wow
This is a boomer thread, zoomers not allowed.
8 hour queue on oce for me
which race has the best looking area? i remember playing one week of undead but it was too edgy for me desu
what would you guy prefer for the future of WoW Classic

>take a pic
>saves it
>upload it
>crops it
>saves it again
>then posts it
why the fuck did you just not take a screenshot and post it which would take a second
Cow and Elf and Dwarf are all top tier. Undead and Human are both great. Weakest is Orc, IMO.
IS the subscription still 15 bucks a month for a game I already own?
I can’t believe this shit, never thought I’d miss the “toxic” WOW of my youth where you could just be a nigger.
we were in groups dingus, just stacked on top or with a "representative" for the group in the queue.
It's a social game
Classic+ servers with the option to copy your character over.
Don't talk shit on Agamand Mills

jesus I started at like 5:15 and I'm 600 in line
it's rough out here
I mean if you hate fun then you can just go ahead and speed run shit and get pissed at people sniping quest mobs.
Yep, this is about what I expected. I'll be lucky to get to level 3.
who else logged out for one reason or another and didnt expect the queues?
we'll get there soon bros i swear
Because why spend millions opening a bunch of new roads for a popular festival that's happening today when the festival will be over in a few weeks
why doesn't disney just build more copies of the rides so there are no lines retard?
>They hate wow classic and expected it to fail, thus they only released a handful of servers.
This.
Lot of people could learn a lesson from Final Fantasy XI which never raised it's level cap for years through one expansion after the next, and was only when the game was pretty much dead that they increased it to 99 where it stays today. Yet it is the most profitable Final Fantasy game ever. These games get popular because people enjoyed them yet these developers think they know better than the players.
Because it is extremely expensive.
Server infrastructure is not. Particularly since every other blizzard game is fucking dead.
I mean will it be over in just a few weeks?
FUCK THIS, I'M GOING BACK TO RETAIL. I GOT BFA ALL TO MYSELF MWAHAHAHA
>REEEE WHY IS NO ONE ON BFA LOOKING AT MY MOUNTS
BFA is practically a single player game anyway so not much has changed/
IS there a trial or do I have to get jewed out of 15 bucks just to see how it is?
I don't want a low pop server I want Whitemane
>wait in queue for 3+ hours
>finally get in
>World server is down :^)
This is actually worse than I imagined. I knew it was going to be rough, but it's 2:45 am on a weekday in Europe, how many normalfags can possibly still be making the server shit itself?
even if you pay you can't play
hoes(me) are indeed mad
reddit.com
Did anyone else's queue slow down severely once they hit a certain point?
im in a weird time zone, so lines are not an issue.
user, I can assure you, they are.
Nice goys on Kurrinnax so far
Anyone thinking of rerolling to Kromkrush? Seems like it might be a better option.
the time is all fucked up. queue seems to be going down at a slow but steady pace
They HEAVILY underestimated the number of players on launch
¿Que?
Doing it for her
people are more likely to give up higher in the queue, above 10k people drop out frequently
8k and below it's become a total slog
The only relevant information is the number of people before you, roughly 500 players ~ 10 mins

WHAT YOU WAITING

WHAT YOU WAITING
The question of whether to stick with the queue or see if one of the servers is slightly less full...
Hello fellow White man
>got DC'd from Rattlegore
>now won't let me back in
This is the authentic Vanilla experience right here.
It's not worth it. They're all full
Starting zones have thinned out a little.
People with potato internet aren't disconnecting as much when they log in.
Which means less people are dropping queue.
Hence why it's taken the last 20mins to drop 5 spaces
I'm not going to get to play today :(
yes, they are a poor estimate. mine has been sitting at 59 minutes for about three hours now.
people will finish classic faster than private servers due to experience and classic mobs having nerfed stats compared to private servers.
World server has been down for three and a half hours on Herod UD

or another oceanic PvP server
it appears all of asia is trying to log on to one goddam oceanic server. Fuck you blizzard for not making ANY asia servers and TAKING my 15 bucks. niggers.
A lot of casuals are probably playing vanilla for the first time
As someone that's never played WoW at all this is really interesting to watch.
What happened to make WoW so terrible that the classic version is literally flooded to the point blizzard is probably having to put out server fires?
this, blizzdrones are deluded
>>Classic+ content
I just queued and its at 12000 on the oceanic pvp server.
on the brightside atleast aus is booming with players, is BFA popular here at all? i've never played WoW before today.
It's just initial interest. WoW is the biggest PC game, so it makes sense that you'd have tens of thousands check it out for a measly $15.
Bros...I don't think I'm gonna make it home...
hard to summarize 15 years of game history into one Yea Forums post, but here's the short version:
after their initial success they kept wanting to appeal more and more to wider audiences. eventually what made the game fun was conisdered too 'hardcore' for typical players
impossible, I started at around the same time and i'm 1800th
what happened to being able to access the character screen while waiting on a queue?
What the name of the NA rppvp server? I'm logged onto it but I don't remember the name and I don't want to log out. And is anyone else playing on it at the moment?
Well lots and lots of reasons, but for me it's because they've slowly removed the RPG and MMO elements. It's practically a single player experience now.
grobbulus
legion's launch actually went really well.
Any UI mods or anything needed?
How about quest helpers?
837 minutes for the streamer server lmfao
Ah okay, I couldn't remember if it was Grob or Stalagg. Anyone else playing Ally on Grob?
idk what to tell you my guy but it's 100% real for me lmao
it's at 10k now
I remember Burning Crusade, WoD, and Legion went well.

The World in World of Warcraft literally doesn't matter anymore. Wherever you go, all you will see are people from different servers that you will never meet again. When you want to do a dungeon, there's no trusted server community to draw from, you just get thrown in a group with four fuckos, never talk to them, and never see them again after the run is over. When doing world PvP, you will get run over by a group of forty random fuckos you will never see again, if you even bother trying to defend the area, it will be with a bunch of fuckos you will never see again. It feels like a single-player RPG with a bunch of interchangeable NPCs.
getting launch "right" is a legit waste of effort. it's easier to just have launch day be shit and run the game normally the rest of the time.
quests are now on rails, fun talent trees were replaced by boring ability picking every 15 levels, fun abilities removed because no fun allowed, also completely redesigning classes every new patch/expansion, no sense of community whatsoever, worse world, worse player models etc.
I CAN FUCKING TASTE IT
maybe I got a few minutes before you and that made all the difference
i'm so sorry user
You're one of the fucks that bandwagoned against Classic, saying it'll die out in a month.
Having more servers for classic when the population stabilizes means the population'd be more spread out rather than on a select few servers, which we have now.
They're trading queues in the present for populated servers in the future.
Fuck off.
This. Later expansions killed exploration, cross-realm killed communities, and streamlined quests and LFD killed parties.
you can taste the world server is down?
>take off work
>pay $15 for a subscription
>cant play the game
joke of a company
Failing to get it right while also doubly failing with layering that will make more than the first few days a pain is even worse.
>all these people

Anyone who thought layering would ruin the "classic experience" is a retard

Thank your fucking coworkers when you get back to work anons.
fuck me was I hyped for WoD. what a shitshow, what a disappointment. interview after interview it was let down after let down.
>WoD went well
Until your entire server bottlenecked at the Garrison founding quest where you cut trees
>won't even give a free day like they used to
>15 years later
>Servers still havent improved
TOP FUCKING KEK
...
>put laying in to fix an issue
>the issue is not fixed
But those servers will be populated anyway. Why are you faggots so afraid of server population dropping?
game is shit, there's already an incel infestation
Almost like layering was a stupid idea to begin with and they should have just released more servers
15 years of featurecreep and QoL changes made the current version of the game completely unrecognizable from it's base version.
We're not. We know it'll happen. Building MORE servers right now will only spread the playerbase out once the populations stabilizes. Did you not read my fucking post?
IS anyone rolling Rattlegore?
If so, what faction? I want to make sure I'm not cucked in a one sided faction
How do you know it will happen? Where is the precedent?
Alliance Rattlegore has a metric shitton people in the Human zone.
no.
Bro Rattle will be a dead server in 1 month.
Good, I want to be a paladin.
Why do you think that? They're not expanding server sizes, they're opening up more servers. People are not going to play whitemane and herod when they have to wait 2 hours to play every single day.
I'm worried about this shit so I'm sitting in line for Whitemane
Rattlegore is the server Herod/Stalg chads are using to dick around for today. After that its dead
There's a new Oceanic realm open as of 12 minutes ago, but I already feel committed to the Arugal queue that I've been in for 3.5 hours.
What do.
Do it. Secure a better name
WHAT'S THE Yea Forums GUILD ON ZANDALAR TRIBE ALLIANCE
I logged into Myz at 2:59 with no queue. Quit out for dinner and now it's 70 minutes to get back in.
This on top of:
>All classes play pretty much the same
>Rewards are meaningless
Every class feels different to play in Classic. Every class can do something unique and cool that NOBODY else can do. Your gear tends to last a long time so upgrades feel valuable and strong. Your gear greatly improves your ability to farm gold (which is not easy to accumulate), to clear dungeons and raids, and to fight other players. In retail all of your rewards are essentially meaningless. High level loot rains from the sky and just adds numbers. No cool effects or any decisions to really make about how you want to build your character. Haste/Mastery are the best secondaries for your character? Stack those and nothing else or your class sucks to play. Not even just suboptimal but still fun, just flat out does not work correctly.
I've already got my name sorted. Reckon you just want my spot in the queue.
>log in 2 hours ahead of launch
>get in the moment servers light up
>laggy, but works
>an hour later get disconnected randomly
>been stuck in que for 2 hours with probably an hour more to go
thanks
you're almost home!
Why not just wait a week when the game is dead and log in without this issue?
because no life
IT'S NOT THE SAME EXPERIENCE BRO I GOTTA WASTE MY PAID SUBSCRIPTION TIME BASHING MY HEAD AGAINST LAG, DISCONNECTS, QUEUES, AND SHIT.
because we've waited so long already...
The game won't be dead in a week, just like all your other failed predictions
>now bouncing between 1751, 1752 and 1753 in queue
fuck
Just like vanilla.
honestly this is an intelligent decision, rolling on a shit realm just to skip the que on launch day is idiotic
The game won't be dead but I'm scared if I pick a low pop server it'll be dead soon as things become stable.
$15 recurring from 25k people per server. For removing all the awful work you've done over the last decade.
Probably a mixed feeling.
Personally, I'm ready for the classic wow experience. Back when I was young, I couldn't beg my parents to buy a sub, so I played Runescape instead. Taught me way more about life and entrepreneurship than wow ever could. My folks invested in my future instead, and now I'm a data analyst for a fortune 500 company. I could sub for the rest of my life and my children's children's lifetime, but instead I will go back to my real home, where everything went right for me. I pity all of you. Try not to gorge on the hotpockets. You don't want to feel bloated as you wake up for the old grind tomorrow.
Yeah paladin can be useless like nobody else indeed.
waiting in que for hours every day for the first month is also retarded. Espeically if you only planned to play a few hours every day
in saying that i cant decide if i should risk levelling on this new just created low pop pvp realm aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
the most reddit post I have seen all day
Lol how many servers are there in total? None of them will be low pop, ever
got in and played for 5 mins. shit sucks
see you in 4 hours
based user that made it.
I also didn't play WoW at the time of vanilla because the subscription model was outrageous to my parents
joke's on them, now they pay for netflix lmao
>he doesn't know
The fuck are you talking about, Paladin is strong as shit. The only arguably weak classes in Classic are Hunter and Druid and even then they fill niches that nobody else does.
>10k queue
>300mins
incendius chads...life is suffering....
Damn, I forgot to mute the music and now the wow client is playing that shit nonstop for three hours. I want to listen to some music but I can't change the sound now that I'm in the queue
Hunter isn't weak my man. Shaman is the weakest.
K
just mute WoW from the windows mixer
I JUST WANT TO PLAY
Yeah, cause posting pics of your snacks in front of your monitors and rigs all hyped up isn't reddit as fuck. Not attacking you personally, just the board in general earlier
That's hilarious. My father definitely still sees Netflix and other subscriptions as a waste of money. Pretty based in retrospect. My sisters never got the stern shutdown I did when I was younger, so they currently pay for Netflix, Hulu and Spotify premium. They're content too, so whatever.
it rolled over from infinity
Removed all community aspects and made it a game about collecting meaningless shit.
And I don't mean meaningless in the big picture, like your life, I mean meaningless limited to the scope of WoW. Shit like titles and achievements and mounts and skins. It's a game about cosmetics.
>queue position going backwards
you're a lifesaver user
My parents used to get mad at me for the amount of time I spent on the computer. Now it's all they do. Old fools
Shaman is not weakest. Shaman is great in group content and fucks peoples shit up in PvP. Hunter is only considered weak because their raid DPS falls off hard later on, otherwise it's a strong class. Druid is weak because it doesn't do anything better than anyone else except for run flags in WSG, but Druid also has some extremely powerful cooldowns for group content and is very unique to play. There's no real "weak" class though, they all fill a role and they all have a use in all levels of play.
>spoonfeeding retards
You have to make room for all those VIP streamers! Move outta the way peasant!
Incendiusbro here, been waiting for like 4 hours.
i have nothing else to do while i wait to play this stupid fucking game
The shamans greatest contribution to groups is tremor totem. Besides that they're not much. They suck in PvP except as an unkillable healer.
Join the rest of us, anons. We'll get in soon.
Who else is scared of being trapped on a shit server so they're waiting till things settle down to start playing?
What is the wait time on Kromcrush like? I am waiting for bigglesworth (eastern pactific pvp) at roughly 2k and been stuck here for a while
Holy shit I'm on the screencap
STALAGG GANG
I'M COMING HOME
So I've never played Classic, with Warrior, should I even touch Protection before I reach 60? I want to be Arms and be able to tank for dungeons and for a party of people for leveling.
>look away for a few minutes
>queue goes from ~9000 to ~3000
what happened? Did a bomb go off?
queue is going pretty fast now for me
went from 1700 to 1400 in 5 min
Pretty sure Grobb just pushed everyone logged in off so that people in queue could get in. Brutal.
GIVE ME A LEVELING GUIDE
GIVE ME ADDONS
>gnarlpine shaman voodoo quest
fucking kill me
you need to learn all the instances having them memorized before prot yeah
been playing since launch, get DC'd, 11000 people ahead of me
haha its just like old times
Nah. Everyone is still in.
>pvp servers
AHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Slowly but surely all the things that made WoW unique and enjoyable were diluted and casualised for the mass audience. Current WoW is just a loot game, like Diablo 3.
What realm?
A streamer must of just left stalagg. Shit's going fast now
Me and everyone I know on grobb got kicked
They’re probably taking so long to put up new servers because they’re taking down and reformatting existing BfA servers kek
Yeah, my friends in line got rolled forward into it. And everyone I know that WAS in were ousted. That said, I was in the INSTANT it said enter world. So they might have some hidden timer doing it in waves.
Happend at 1 am on the biggest german PvP realm.
Shit fucking sucks.
stalagg, currently at 1149
serious question: whats a good pvp server that isn't super one sided? I want to roll on thanos or whatever its called
they should auto logout all afks the first week
so it wasn't just me
Do we have a guild on that server?
Happened to me too, got back in at 9000 in queue, down to 8500 now. Hope to be back in in an hour
Paying Blizzard to wait in a queue
isn't this how it was when wow first launched? So you got what you asked for.
LESS THAN 100 TO GO
Is there a Yea Forums approved guild on that server?
>you think you do but you don't
>wow classic is gonna be a flop
>servers fucking explode despite panicking and adding more and more servers
people are eating so much crow right now
>we
So which one of you is the guy spamming 13 and 50 on Grobb
>Yea Forums guilds
I Seriously Hope You Guys Don't Actually Do This
I joined some random RP one because they needed charter signs. Don't look for a Yea Forums guild
Dang it I got out of the stalagg queue hours ago and got into incendius since I have friends in that one too and it was shorter at the time
The queues were this long for WoD launch LMAO
wouldnt know, i left general chat the moment i logged in
oh god kill yourself
Waited 5 fucking hours and still a long ways to go. I gotta wagecuck tomorrow, fuck this.
Goddamn LOSERS, get off WoW I wanna playyy
I had to leave Stalagg. I was level 8 but my friends didn't want to wait in the Queue for 2 hours so instead I had to wait in Queue for 2 hours.
reminder not to invite women to your guild unless you want drama and chaos to ensue
Whats a good addon that auto-adds quest to my sidebar.
classic is dogshit just play current wow
>please do not roll on herod we expect queues that will last for several hours
>trying to get in skeram
>probably going to take me 7 hours because I got in very early
This. And imagine all the retards who stacked on junk food and quit playing in 2 weeks because they realize they have no friends to play with and the game's a snoozefest
What professions do I choose for undead rogue?
Which server are you on Yea Forums?
strawpoll.me
I don’t understand how they could underestimate the launch numbers. It’s fucking WoW classic did they really not think tons of people would want to play
Dunno. I quit after WotLK man. WoW was popular here back then though.
>Skeram
Ha! I waited for 5 hours on Skeram and still can't get in. I gave up for today.
it’s true, they did a study
Women are only for heal sluts
almost home bros...
>It’s fucking WoW classic did they really not think tons of people would want to play
>You think you do, but you don't
Yes.
>you think you do, but we don't
I’m apparently closer yet still have a similar time estimate
oh man fuck this. i think im just gonna go to work tomorrow while they figure this out and just work from home wednesday
Just passed the 4 hour mark and am at 395
I have to get to bed for waging in an hour
they fucked the servers on purpose
artificial demand, more people will want to play.
if you’re in queue, they already have your money
Yup, all of the paid articles were already written and waiting to be published.
youre retarded
nightclubs hold up lines to make the club look more busy, same idea.
Is this shit a bug?
Even if you're in the game it still sucks because everyone is waiting to talk to the buggy questgivers and kill the mobs. the game is basically unplayable right now
Did rogues get any cool flavor quests?
I remember druid gets ones for their forms, locks for their demons and mount, also hunter gets a neat questline for rhok'delar when you get the leaf.
you're retarded. this is a video game. they already have your money if you're in line.
alright lads I'm fucking done, I'm just gonna go sleep and wake up at 3 in the morning and play before work instead
do I get booted off the queue if I stay inactive for too much time?
>Wait 4 hours to log in
>Finally log in
>Cant attack a single enemy
>Too many people
JUST LIKE I REMEMBER IT YEAH
Rogues get a couple cool quests, yeah. You also get a tiny rogue town to chill at.
blizzdrones always fall for the same shit every year
HOME
QUEUE FOR 3 HOURS
thats not a thing, shits just fucked right now. its just like old times!
By the time I'll be able to log in it'll be time to go to work.
>paying not only for a 15 year old service but also standing in line for hours upon hours just to play it
>paying Nu-Blizz in general
it's been a long wait but I'm almost home lads
Trying to log into one of the oceanic pvp servers, it's marked as medium, my friend can log in without a queue but I'm stuck on 10000. What gives?
has there been anything released to say how many players are trying to log in at the moment? I would be interested to know that
>blizzard still won't accept my credit card
Go on without me bros.
on a scale of 1 to 10 how assblasted was asmongol today
He's assblasted every day because he's shit at WoW and his chat gives him shit for it
well he was in pretty early and had almost 200k people watching, so probably a 2.
i've been in queue for 5 hours and i still have 2 to go.
holy shit this fucking blows.
Meanwhile my friend can log in and out of the same server without a queue at all.
What the actual fuck is this garbage?
Waves your place for a few minutes.
>19 in front of me for 3 minutes and counting
anyone?
He bought the donor package
tailoring and fishing
Can't you play on a different server?
i'm not risking it now.
why won't these dumb faggots just log off?
Not him, but I guess these servers tend to die later
>logged in 20 minutes before it released
>played for an hour
>went outside to get some food and energy drinks
>12k in que and not budging
welp guess ill save my shit for tomorrow or watch a movie i guess
LW and skinning
theres only one rpvp server
The worst part about all this is it won't be better tomorrow.
How fucking hard is it to google the fix for world server down error...its natural selection at this point
I probably wont be able to start playing until later this week. 904 mins for Whitemane queue.
I've been in some long ass queues on WoW but this is actually the worst.
So who got into the asmon layer?
more than likely they'll scramble more resources, it isnt like they cant. it launched after everyone went home for the day
It's going to be like this for weeks.
wasnt temporary layering supposed to solve this?
Still waiting
They straight up said they won't add more servers. They expect interest to fall sharp. I still think they have the "you think you do, but you don't" mentality.
>que
temporary layering is supposedly to ease the load of the players who are actually in the game, it has no effect on the amount of people actually queued
I joined in TBC so I don't know shit, two questions
1. Who's viable and has the most buttons in a rotation? I'm looking at locks for this
2. Do shamans ever get an ability to summon four totems at once? I am not spending half of dungeons moving them around
No one releases something like this then immediately clocks off
Plus it took them like 2 weeks to fix the mess that was WoD launch and that was game breaking bugs and not just server queues
>Haste/Mastery are the best secondaries for your character? Stack those and nothing else or your class sucks to play.
Holy fuck whoever decided to make Beast Mastery dependent on Wild Call procs for focus generation needs to fucking die. It's not even like you can grab a 1.8 bow to compensate because all ranged weapons are 3.0 now.
No. Layers solves problems with overcrowded areas. Each server still has a maximum capacity and they cannot increase it without causing a lot of issues.
been stuck a the 10ks for the last 20 minutes im starting to lose hope ill ever play bros
just tried this and i still have to queue
Don't forget the garrison wiping out the few remaining reasons to buy crafted items from other people.
yeah man they say a lot of things, half of these weren't here at launch, a few hours ago
>blizzard release tons of new servers
>but still only one rpvp server
yeah well fuck you too
Is there still only 2 oceanic servers?
They added another PVP server this morning.
there is no top tier dps with a complex rotation, only hunters and druids have that. warlock is shadowbolt spam.
you macro your totems to 1 button
Even affl lock? I assumed shadowbolt spam was largely demo and partially destro. About druids, is moonkin viable? Only thing I'm somewhat interested in
>complex rotation
>hunters
LOL
