Are you enjoying it?

even more so than nostalgia i'd say it's zoomers and casuals buying into the hype. doubtful they'll play past the first month, but i think there'll be a playerbase that'll keep this game alive atleast for half a year.

Explain to me why everyone’s playing this shit. surely can’t be that good, right? I would check it out for myself but don’t feel like getting addicted because I’ve seen people treat it like crack.

Half my friends want to stick with their character on a high pop server that still has huge queues and the other half already rolled to a lower pop server. We're all split up now and I'm sad.

It's not but it looks like it is because of layering. If you do /who you will see 50+ people in every zone.

I should be enjoying it but Darkshore is fucking dire. Need that Darnassus rep though

Stop using discord its all psychotic psychopathic death cult trannies

It's worse than crack. One streamer is already in the hospital because he forgot to drink water/eat he was playing the game so much

I wish account sharing private server spergs weren't trying to make classic about racing through a solved game. Despite the imperfections of the original vanilla WoW's world firsts, they were infinitely more interesting than the rehearsed minmaxing endurance tests these so called pros are doing.

>world first
are you a literal faggot?

>Can't get past queue to play with any of my friends
It's honestly just demoralizing.

who?>

Of course it's not that good. It was just the best game available in 2004 and was the first accessible mmo.

I actually am

Why is the human area so much quicker to level in than all the others

>most fun I've had in years

The only downside is how long I have to wait to play.

>paying money to stand in line
lolno

Yes. I love waiting in lines anywhere from 10-45 minute so I can kill a single enemy or collect a certain item. I also love having to google where to go for some quests because they’re so vague and the game doesn’t give you any more hints or descriptions. I’m also digging how difficult it is to level up a profession because everyone is trying to level up their profession too and farming everywhere. It’s awesome! Just like good old times!!!

It's comfy and already made some friends

Prior to Classic I hadn't played the game since early Cata (started playing near the end of vanilla) and I think I'm quitting already. MMOs just aren't for me anymore I guess, which is probably because my hatred for people has spiked in the recent years.

Just remember you're paying Bobby Kotick 15.99/month to not play the game.

Yup

WHEN YOU GET IN, USE THE APP ON THE PHONE TO WALK AROUND (it even allows a d-pad to be used) AND STAY HALF-IDLE IN WAIT TO GET HOME (you can even do some easy quests using the phone). USING THIS METHOD I'VE BEEN ABLE TO PLAY 9+ HOURS, WHILE WORKING, ON A SERVER WITH A 20K+ QUEUE TIME EVERY DAY SINCE LAUNCH AND I'M SOON GETTING MY MOUNT.

Raids were supposed to bring the community together but instead they just cause a bunch of elitism and drama. Still fun if you have a good chill group to raid with. But good luck organizing raids with these queue times lmao, hopefully Blizz gets their shit together by then.

C O M F Y

I'm already at that point and show no points of stopping. Holy fuck it's crazy how good the game is.

its good, the queues are fucking insane though and its a huge grind to 60
the pace of the game is also designed to be a marathon rather than a sprint so a lot of zoomers are angry and will quit pretty early
what matters though is that it makes retail look pathetic. it exposes all the retarded design decisions made over the years that turned the game from an MMO into the pile of shit that it currently is. so even if it doesn't do as well as expected due to the 15 year old class design and slow pacing it at least shows other companies that its still possible to make a successful MMO if you get the basics right

Alright I was initially against that LFG addon but now after trying to find a group for a specific dungeon I'm seeing that it's kind of needed.

stonetalon is

You don't. Leveling up multiple classes is pretty fun.

If I've never played WoW before or really any MMO before but I like RPG games like Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect etc.. Is it worth it to try out Classic? I've always wondered what the hype around these games is for and now seems like a good time to try it out.

I have no idea what class I want to roll, I'm definitely playing Alliance on Grobbulus though.

You're associating yourself with zoomers if you're worried. But god do I ever hope it does die out. It was a horrible drug for anyone with legit addiction issues, probably moreso nowadays with all the competitive racing to the most boring part about vanilla. I'm having a laugh because good luck putting a raid together with these queues. Even if half dropped the game and they turn off layering, there would still be high queues.

>Is it worth it to try out Classic?
No.

no you fucking zoomer kill yourself

I don't doubt that, but every class seems to suck HARD at level 9. Maybe it's because of the anticipation for the cool level 10 skills, just got a rogue into 10 and now I feel like restarting to make an orc warrior.

literally every horde just runs past, they can't be assed having flown out for 10 minutes to stop and fight, but i bet you're that one undead rogue that thinks he's hot shit for "smoking" people 10 levels under him

thanks bro

Are blizzard bans/strikes account wide? I have a lot for raging on overwatch and I'm thinking about whether I want to play wow classic on my real account or make a new one for it so I don't get permabanned if I get reported once or twice

Its Blizzard's fault for allowing addons in the first place. Blame them.

I think I'm regretting leveling a warrior first. Taking down a single mob takes forever, running around takes forever, hunting for professions takes forever. I'm still enjoying it though, but I'm seriously considering rerolling either a hunter or a rogue and then coming back to the warrior later.

i remember back in vanilla my little brother couldnt read so i had to read every fucking quest to that shitter, i wish that addon existed back then

game is full of zoomers ruining parties everywhere. this priest i partied with earlier didn't even know what pw: fort is. i wish they made servers you could only access if your account was created during vanilla

How's affliction warlock or ret pal?

>tfw I play Kromcrush but theres a queue right now

FOMO

It's absolute cancer and purely designed to waste time so you stay subbed longer. Also it's not about that at all, it's about FINDING quests and the location of the turn-in.

Make sure you use a 2 hander. Sword and board is obviously shit damage, and dual wielding pre-endgame is a noobtrap.

Ret pal is a meme

warlock is good damage and fairly safe leveling compared to most classes. also around phase 5 and 6 warlock become arguably the best dps

>ret pal

>Make sure you use a 2 hander.
Having a real hard time finding a 2 hander. I'm level 13 and still using that one handed axe you get from the blind guy's quest where you have to kill a tooth-whatever defias guy

>every quest tells you exactly where to go in one paragraph.
No they don't. Many are vague, and some are downright misleading. You've clearly never played without using Thottbot or an addon.

Warlocks are a good, all round class, that especially excel at leveling and the absolute highest tier of the game.
Ret paladins are only viable for leveling (which they’re still slow as balls at), and PvP. And if you want to get geared for Paladin PvP, you’ll need to do your time as holy healing people.

I wanna pway too :(

Having a blast playing with a buddy. Feels like how an mmo should.

not even that user but that last line was projection incarnate
ive been having no issue reading and interpreting from the quest log where i need to go. much better this way too as it acts as a retard filter

Thanks. I'm only really interested in PVPing, may give affliction a go then.

Were you not taught to read as a child? Apart from the occasional Mankrik’s wife meme the quest text did a solid job.

Well keep in mind there aren't really any "specs" in the game. there are talent trees. but you never click on a specialization and get certain spells for that spec like you do in retail. some of the best endgame builds have plenty of points in several talent trees. not even reaching the bottom of them. its kind of weird

Okay but he's not wrong. Sometimes its vague as fuck.

They were free retard

But you go heavier into one, yea? Like being a prot pally

I tried to make one but getting people to join is hard enough and most people don't even have the FP. and some don't even have it for menethil harbor. I've tried making a group 3 times only to have people drop out on me.

affliction is more efficient and you spend less mana. destro goes oom fast while leveling. you'll also likely pull aggro off your pet easier with fatter shadowbolts than with slow ticking dots.

When given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game.

They're ok at best and often are vague.

Sure. They're fine if you like scavenger hunts that sometimes mislead you. There's nothing wrong with enjoying that, but it's not everyone's thing.

Not going to lie the nostalgia is making me really hooked on Classic again. Wonder if this will change once I hit the huge wall of 40 and then again at 50. I miss items actually mattering I forgot how important even a small stat on an item was.

Also I never leveled a Lock during Vanilla, I only managed to max level a Pally and Mage so playing a Lock makes it much more fun and totally new. Though I am aching to give Pally a whirl for nostalgia.

What will make or break the game for me is if they cave and add TBC. Fuck all the zoomers that said it was an amazing expac it ruined WoW imo.

But now im actually torn between joining him and having people i know irl in my guild or keep playing with the random internet retards who spout shit memes in guild chat, but are otherwise cool. I feel like a bit of a jerk for saying no i just wanna play my rp-pvp server even though from an intellectual point i know im not in the wrong at all. wtf is wrong with me?

You resorted to frogposting. That's what's wrong with you.

I don't know your story brother so I can't really comment. I'm just at a crossroad in life right now, I'm at a point where I'm not getting any younger and need to turn my life around otherwise when I'm on my death bed I will definately think "fuck, I was dealt good cards but I fucking wasted my life man..."

>Holy shit its just like how i remember it we are home boys... but i dont think i will resub tho

El Oh El

This is where the real fun will begin.

Nostalgic Assholes telling people what to do and kicking them for small mistakes.

what server

apu is not frogposting

Yeah, now that I've gone to my own server.

This game made me remember how big of assholes my friends at that period actually were, and that I left their guild for a reason the first time around too.

Every other discussion getting elevated to a private chat for some random drop drama or because two people dislike each other and can't just leave it alone in the dungeon party chat.

What's more fun? Mage, Warlock, or Priest?

that was contained to the new expansion and didnt ruin classic by itself.
it was simply the start of making things easy that killed vanilla, it was a slow death

Honestly, rogue isn't that much better. So many mobs are linked and they struggle to kill them like warriors. Both are late bloomers.

PVP ranks, but no battlegrounds. WPVP will reach max intensity and anybody leveling when it hits is going to have a bad time.

herod probably, it's the official tranny server

Do you want to push 1 button and make money from portals, push 1 button and spend 2 hours before every raid collecting soulshards, or push 1 button and be either a dwarf or an undead because all other priest races are garbage?

Pagle. Server seems to change dramatically during night time hours, was in chat just the night before shooting the shit with people who actually know how to have fun

Mage is so much fun in PvP. The mobility and ability to 1vX people can't be beat.

>and PvP
No. I tried it back in the day and you get wrecked by any dps even if they have shittier gear. Holy is the only viable spec period. You actually have more of a chance at winning by being holy and auto attacking while healing yourself occasionally. I even had the unstoppable force and the hits were pathetic compared to warrior or rogues.

>You can't have an alliance and horde character in the same realm
Oh.
What other realm than thunderfury is fun?

I’m on deviate delight. This server is based. Literally has not had a queue once

stick with warrior a bit more maybe. Sword and board is good until around level 20 then you want a 2hander. Warrior is strong first few levels, then feels weak in the teens and mid twenties, it starts getting better then starts popping off in the 30s. Sweeping strikes talent from arms paired with cleave is great for tanking and soloing down 2 mobs at once, it is very satisfying especially after suffering through early warrior leveling.
If i was going to level destruction i would get shadowburn then improved firebolt and also improved imp from demonology tree. Level with the imp and kill speed should be good. The biggest thing you miss out on would be not having an instant cast corruption or nightfall talent from affliction, siphon life is also pretty good. other than that affliction is over rated.

Don't fall for Esfand and his cult's retbull memes. Ret paladin is shit pretty much everywhere.

>networking = hardware performance

you clearly dont understand even the basics of computing

The human area was the starting zone the developers put most of the work in to. There was an interview about it. Despite the dev team being almost completely pro-Horde, they found the human area the easiest to work with because it's fucking humans.

i bought an item today for less than 20s that will sell for 10-20g when most of the pop hits 60. I keep scanning so i can scoop up more of them from unsuspecting noobs. Starting to think i should be more concerned with farming gold than leveling so i can buy up a wider variety of the higher level items that get undervalued by new players as well.

the biggest issues i'd say would be that everything in TBC being completely sequestered from the rest of the game and having questing greens in outland replace top-tier raiding gear from vanilla. everything else pretty much stems from this; the idea that expansions should always involve a completely new zone with its own self-contained endgame and everything in that zone being objectively better than all the previous expansions' content. power creep became a massive issue in later expansions because of this design philosophy. other things like flying mounts, pvp resilience, arenas being the primary pvp progression, badge gear, adding shaman and paladins to the opposite factions, and lore butchery are rather minor in comparison, although i do take personal issue with flying myself.

basically, TBC started the trend of focusing on vertical character progression instead of horizontal progression. that said, vertical progression is pretty staple for RPGs as a genre, so putting a limiter on that is admittedly a very difficult thing to do, especially when you're trying to move units and have a lot of potentially cool ideas, which admittedly TBC did have.

Classic versus... The WoW we have today? Why did they need to rerelease classic? Did the current WoW have too much content?

I can't believe Blizzard got away with this. This is a dark day for consumers. A 14 year old game is being sold at retail price with no significant upgrades or changes and they're being rewarded for it because of zoomers and nostalgia fags

just farm the winterspring saber bro

TBC is actually a good and fun expansion, but it introduced the things that would go on to ruin WoW. It's the Resident Evil 4//Trails to Zero/Ao of its series.

--Flying Mounts
--Neutral Capitals
--Cross Realm Bullshit (started creeping in at the end of Vanilla really)
--Horrible story that made the character player feel more important they should (seriously they just gave up writing wise with TBC, it's fucking pathetic)
--Huge focus on 'the daily grind' with daily quests and the like (Sunwell Island was basically where you spent all your days in later TBC)
--Much larger focus on Arenas and Battlegrounds. Horde/Alliance cities were positioned so that world PVP was rare. No Soutshore/Ashenvale type setups.

There were still tons of good decisions however. Heroics were a great idea, even if the loot in them were often too shit to bother.

Don't worry, you're going to be on your death bed wishing you didn't spend so much time working like everyone else has.

Priest slaps Paladins shit. It's the only class that can handle the Paladins garbage in pvp and can even prevent the bubble hearth bullshit since they have an instant cast fear.

this fucking game is so addicting. can't believe how much better it is compared to games today.

the only reason I stop playing is if I decide I don't want to throw my life away. help

I was until I realized I was never going to raid at 60, so it was pointless to keep playing. Same reason I stopped retail, cant do the end game.

yeah and when you get to sixty they'll axe the rp component killing off everyone you knew on the server, even if you don't personally care, and merge you with other low pop servers

while you wait for them to do that, enjoy the entire four guilds that survive the first three months of the game and have a decent number of 60s

I've got a rogue at lvl 14 so far. feeling pretty burnt out honestly. hopefully when I get into the 20s some pvp will be a fun distraction.

Really? I got to know the most people in raiding guilds.

lmao you sound like this guy called Alera I cucked in 2005. That you buddy? Come back so I can cuck you again. My chad paladin cock is ready to one shot you after fucking your girl.

2-4 weeks from now, the big name streamers will bail and move on to something else

Classic will go from 250k viewers on twitch to 10k in one week

Servers will all change from "full" to "low"

3 months later, classic wow will have the exact same amount of attention as private classic servers

no surprises

Just play responsibly. I mean if its better than other games today, wouldnt you be playing inferior games if you stopped playing Classic? That sounds like a waste of time

Because you have to make more socials to complete quests and such

I prefer to level as arms, but either way I always go for Tactical Mastery first.

Rogues are boring af when you start but they only get better

I didn't really get into warriors until TBC. So I'm going to miss a lot of the abilities that let me shine the most. Like that intercept move (forget the name) that was a lifesaver.

No I'm not Alera but go on, curious to hear your cucking story

So Warlocks use Swords in Classic? Based as fuck.

Most people telling you how good it is are just people who played it back in 2005 having the nostalgia trip of your lives

It's a good MMO sure but without the nostalgia factor what's left is a frankly rather slow MMO with very simple classes where most of the things there are to do is a whole fucking lot of walking and extremely simple quests

Very good atmosphere though, but not that enjoyable unless you can go "Oh wow I remember this" every 5 mins.

Warlocks are a cool class in Classic, definitely a lot different from retail in a lot of ways. They're definitely not for everyone, though, and I can almost guarantee once the tourists leave in a week or so they will be just as unpopular as they were back in the earlier days of WoW (most people will probably switch to Mage so they don't have to farm shards)

There are swords that are BiS for locks too even.

Classic will only be a success if they pull a OSRS and start making future content (IE Classic+). Not sure if anyone realizes this but OSRS was on the brink of death until they announced they were developing content for the game. There needs to be a reason for players to continually gear up in any MMO.

I play OoT every few years or so, same with other classic games. I cannot possibly see why anyone would devote more time than that into a 15 year old game. I'm having a blast leveling, doing some dungeons here and there, and the occasional world pvp but I couldn't see myself nor my friends doing more than casual raiding and bgs throughout the next year or so.

rogues are missing tons of their key abilities until levels 20-30ish. poisons, vanish, blind, cheap shot, kidney shot, cold blood or preparation via talents, all of these are total game changers when it comes to playing a rogue. it gets better, don't worry.

FIX THE SITE HIROMOOT ITS NOT THAT HARD

Playing classic only cements my opinion that all retail needs to be saved is to both release the vice grip being held on the players hand, and force player interaction. Unfortunately things like lfg will never go away. The shitstorm would break the game.

I don't know if Classic has endgame longevity. I'm not playing it right now but I'll gladly resub once I have some time just to enjoy the leveling experience again, but the PvE experience at endgame is just so barebones and simple that most classes become 4 button wonders.

Then again classes are already 4 button wonders in retail and people still play that shit so who knows, maybe. There was a lot of unexplored and empty stuff in Vanilla WoW map, so there certainly is space to add new stuff.

Playing with two friends. One is a wow veteran, so it makes the experience a lot better doing it as part of the group. Don't really mind the graphics, it has a charm to it. I tried playing wow when it came out, but didn't really get around to it. So classic is the first time I actually play this with friends and get to experience old wow. I'm playing a holy paladin, any tips? Feel kinda useless with my sledgehammer dps wise. But then again I suppose my class more meant to be a healing slut?

No it's boring. Played it for a couple hours at launch and haven't played since. No idea how people find doing irrelevant quests of "fetch x" and "kill y enemies" over and over and over again

>Having 5/5 spirit tap by 14
>Not splitting your points between that and wand spec
Disgusting. Not having spirit tap proc 100% is offset by the fact that you don't have to cast as many spells because your scooping chunks of your targets hp out with your wand. You only need it to proc every once in a while anyways to maintain peak smooth.

boring as fuck, stopped playing
wish i had the nostalgia for it but i never played wow before

My only complaint about classic so far has been some of the drop rates and monster spawns.

There are three or four quests I've run into so far that took a literal hour to finish just because the drop rate was hilariously bad or the mobs were spread as far out as they possibly could be on the map.

I swear one of the devs was having a fucking giggle with the scorpion spawn locations in desolace.

Everything else has been 10/10, fun as fuck.

Nearing 40

Can't wait to have a mount

My internet went bonkers. Didn't mean to double post.

I agree that it's boring, but doing with friends make it a lot better. Only annoying thing is that it makes quests where you need to gather x amount of item much longer since we need to split it all between us rather than getting the item at the same time. When was this feature added to wow? As for me it's a quality of life thing and I can't think of a good reason as to why people would want fetch quests items not being given to each group member at once.

lmfao. You are the best healing class in the game though, yes. I raided all the way up to 12/15 Naxx in Elysium and the top 3 healers in the raid were almost always the best few paladins duking it out while sometimes a priest would get lucky enough to join them.

But you probably won't raid, so just do whatever. Every instance is easy enough that your build won't matter, especially since it's 1.2 and they nerfed everything. Pre-nerf Scholomance was the real shit.

I hate it, I've been playing warlock since 2006 and now they're fucking everywhere.

Somebody lying about having sex on the internet? That's never happened before.

Yeah the drop rate fucking sucks. We've spent a lot of time killing mobs before we get the needed item. Don't mind that each member need to get the item they need rather than shared loot equally but please make the drop rate a lot more

Neat. Figured so. My friend did say it's a good healing class. We do plan on dungeons and raiding, but of course if we all actually will still be playing some time from now remains to be seen.

All the gamer dads going "hard" right now are only gonna be like 30 by next week, realize its gonna be a nother month til 60 and probably quit.

It absolutely is. Vanilla endgame had a ton of soul but it certainly wasn't challenging unless you were guildmaster.

That's an entirely different situation to getting a hookup through WoW that integrates into guild culture and impacts someone else in the game. It's obviously a made up story.

because I've accepted this is probably the closest I will ever get to playing something like the older mmos

it's not perfect, but the other games I loved are never coming back

leveling is absolutely the worst part of vanilla and its not even close
once they get to 60 they'll have sunk cost fallacy and they'll also be able to go around on a mount shitting on people which is a lot funner than questing

That's probably just because most people aren't high enough level for Duskwood yet. Leveling is abnormally slow with so much competition for mobs.

Theme Park MMOs were more or less perfected with WoW. Sandbox MMOs may have gotten fucked by WoW, but modern examples of the sandbox MMO (such as Albion Online) have proven to me that they just straight up don't work today due to the increased ability for people to organize large groups of people. Sandbox MMOs just end up overrun with massive Eastern European guilds that monopolize the game; not the sort of thing you'd see in something like Ultima Online back in the 90's.

If you're asking for sandbox MMOs, they exist and they suck today for the reasons listed above. If you're asking for other theme park MMOs, they're just outright inferior to WoW.

I've never played WoW before but I've been playing nonstop outside of sleep and food and toilet breaks since it came out with nearly 2 days clocked yet I'm only 22.

At what point does this occur?
I'm at level 8 right now and honestly nobody has been overly social. People might toss an invite to quick finish a quest and then leave without saying anythijg.
So far my experience has not been radically different than retail desu

No, honestly I'm not. I thought I would enjoy it a lot more, but I just don't. The gameplay is too slow and it feels unbalanced. However, playing Classic did make me update retail and start a character on that so hey, it did get me back into WoW in that way.

Shut up you lying faggot

should happen soonish, you'll get elite quests that require groups to complete

will really ramp up around 30 when you start playing in contested zones and group up to avoid getting ganked

Gaming is a completely different thing today. The average skill level of players is insanely high today compared to back then. There are hundreds of thousands of sweaty tryhards today when back then it would be hundreds max.

Twitch also allows people to sink insane time into wow and organize around this with their celebrity to do massive things.

MMOs based around gear acquisition will fail for this reason. I think the future is in VR social MMO games more focused on fun minigame like environments and adventures

Like a disneyland environment in VR that's social.

29 warrior. Starting to feel the burn now

Okay that's reassuring though it'll probably be a week or more before I hit 30. Hopefully I won't be so far behind the curve that level 60 death squads destroy me nonstop

Questie add on
Knowing a good route
Deadmines gives good Experience

You should follow a leveling route or have a party for dungeon grinding if you want fast levels. Also they already know everything about the game so any decision making is fast.

complaining about people working together to monopolize the game and engage with politics etc is the exact sort of thing mmos should have. its 2019 and the pinnacle of player interaction is using the chatbox and throwing buffs in the open world. Sandbox mmos work when the inherent games aren’t shit(Eve/Darkfall) complaining about huge player nations is retarded, and if you didnt want to zerg you didnt have to(Darkfall) the point was that player agency reigned supreme and that the players themselves both created the world and affected it on a meta level.

I just checked and retail has almost as many, if not more, full NA servers compared to classic. I'm guessing a lot of people also tried classic then are trying bfa.

Time investment is too high for the reward desu. But once you hit 60 all you have to sacrifice is 3 or so nights a week for raiding and a day or two for farming.

totally worth it for the reward of gearing a char in 15 year old game.

The worst part of WOW classic is realizing how fucking terrible the gaming industry is that a shit old game is actually more interesting than all the utter shit online games coming out now.

Just fucking make a big open world game that has massive players doing something. Fucking not hard and no one does it right.

Yes.

The queue's are so bad on most servers that the only people with time to play right now are streamers, gaming industry workers, students who skip class or don't have any extra curriculars, and the unemployed.

Gonna start enjoying it when they release BC , before that staying clear.

good open world games of people doing shit was killed by WoW. If WoW never came out NGE for SWG would of never happened

The chatbox has to go imo
Add proximity voice chat and voice chat support in game. Alllow for Raid groups of 40/40/40 people for WPVP

Chatting is retarded and it should be all voice.

Sandbox games like terraria or minecraft have been the best Return on Investment in gaming history outside mobile.

The genre is big. Just needs more time. VR is going to be the game changer.

rogues are possibly even worse than warriors to level in the teens because you cant hamstring kite.
it gets significantly better, but theyre still the second worst levelers after warrior.

In UO you could do your own thing and still be successful.

In modern sandbox MMOs you either align yourself with a massive omni-faction and do what they say, or you lose the game and move on.

This is not fun.

>dual wield at level 10
I'm level 8 right now and it's been pretty rough desu
Especially with the 1-2 damage dagger

hell no it takes up 60GB of ram
fuck that

No. The idea of sandbox mmos have been around forever. The problem is with WoW being so popular and sandbox mmos being literally dead BECAUSE of WoW, there's no developer out there that's big enough to put up the capital and take the huge risk when they could just copy WoW's formula and make slightly less money than WoW but still profit. WoW turned MMOs from actual virtual worlds to pre-canned experiences and mechanics that prey upon the worst parts of the human psyche.

it'll wear off in time. just enjoy yourself while it lasts.

>The average skill level of players is insanely high today compared to back then
Have you even played on retail? The only thing that's changed is that there's an icy veins guide for you class explaining in-detail how not to forget to breathe.

And that's a good thing!

I'm having fun, feels like layering is turned on too high or something though.

classic wow is pretty much the same with raiding, you need to be in a top guild, and you need to politic for the best loot.

How about instead of hopping on Herod, you hop on any other server?
>in EU or Oceania
Sucks to suck

>portal room in Stormwind leads everywhere for free
Horse shit. The biggest complaint everyone has with the portal room is because they removed some portals and didn't bother to put them into the portal room, making it more tedious to get to a number of locations.

FUCK wow

youtube.com/watch?v=nvK8fua6O64

Which is why raiding is and always has been cancer.

I feel the same way but I like the constant reward system, even if it is just. "Your axe skill increased by 1" And constantly replacing your gear with the tons of greys you find. Feel sort of diablo ish.
Though everything is slow.
Painfully slow, the whole "commuinity" is fake, I only really joined people to make shit go faster. I didn't feel like I was making friends or a lasting connection, more like working with another guy at the office to get the forms in on time.
Walking to a dungeon doesn't make me like them any more or less. And I miss everything I collected.
I lost my mounts, my pets, my transmog.
My god everyone is going to look identical in a few months.

Is there any data on faction balance yet? Feels like any PVP server is horde-heavy`

>Reserve names on Bloodsail Buccaneers

Have fun with your streamer buddies, anons.

i'm having a lot of fun
i just got my undead warlock to lv 20, and now i'm trying out an undead warrior because the tank shortage is insane
i like undead

You're talking WoW. I'm talking gaming in general. The average wow classic player did not understand hotkeying abilities and clicked on them.

The avg skill level (across all games) is insane today especially with kids fiending fortnite. Which even if you hate it the building is very skilled.

My guy there were literally people who were neutral crafters(DUDES WHO JUST CRAFTED) or literal merc groups who werent allied with any player nation in particular but fought for the highest bidder in Darkfall. Complaining about people cooperating in a MMO is fucking retarded

It's a far better game but nobody will admit it because modern gamers are too addicted to convenience and simplicity.

I'm mostly waiting until they reveal 9.0 and the changes this Blizzcon. If the changes to retail look good then there's zero chance I start classic. If there's nothing to look forward to then I will start playing definitely.

Classic has definitely boosted BFA's numbers. Not what I expected but I can totally see why.

>Wonder if this will change once I hit the huge wall of 40 and then again at 50
You will hit a wall once you finally get your mount at around level ~42

It's just nostalgia.

I just ran WC like 4 times today for no fucking reason and can’t bear to look at a monitor anymore. You tell me.

#1 most overrated thing about classic is the community

VRchat vs WoW makes it awfully clear. A text box in the bottom left with some random chat going on, almost entirely "how to progress faster" abstracted out lines.

What are the main leveling walls? And how would you rank them in terms of how bad they are

>trade chat completely dead
Bullshit there's always some shit in trade chat.
>ships removed from Teldrassil and replaced with portals
Since teldrassil was fucking burnt down, yer they don't need boats there any more.
>fat humans can be druids
Just as much lore of that as any other druid.
>portal room in Stormwind leads everywhere for free
It leads you to the continents. You don't even get sent to the hubs.
>dual spec disappeared, can switch between any spec at any time for free
>items automatically change stats based on spec
>there's like 90 heirlooms, can be bought at any time with gold
All good things. If we didn't have to go through 120 levels I would say scrap heirlooms.

Assuming you can find a dungeon group, you grind 37-43 in SM Cathedral

If you don't enjoy leveling then you're in for a shitty time because there is pretty much nothing to do at level 60

Grief lowbies
WPVP lag/zerg/mage fests
premade BGs vs randoms and win 99% of the time

Whats so bad about leveling warriors? I see people complain about it all the time

Attached: 1465786606710.jpg (185x216, 7K)

I still can't believe Wailing Caverns got away with such a design as a level 20 instance. Deadmines is a straight path. Shadowfang Keep is a straight path. Wailing Caverns is a fucking labyrinthine nightmare.

Be more willing to find a group yourself man. See someone else doing the same quest as you? Send em an invite.

>Wailing Caverns is a fucking labyrinthine nightmare.

And that's why it's good you idiot.

That's what makes it interesting though. Straight paths are boring. A dungeon should be a sprawling labyrinth you and your party delve into.

I'd like to but just thinking about going back to raising 4 nights a week puts me off.
Also the fact that there are 10 content patches to go through and I just don't have all that time. It's either only wow or playing the other worthwhile games that release in a year.

I'll probably sub and level a warrior for fun on weekends once the rage dies down, perhaps

Do you have no sense of direction?

Go play tranny fantasy 14 if you want straight corridors and square boss rooms

I didn't say it was bad. I just said I'm amazed Blizzard let it pass. I think Deadmines is great too and serves as a great introduction to dungeons. Wailing Caverns is fun, but as someone who played plenty of retail bacin 2004 when no one knew what the fuck they were doing, barely anyone ever finished it.

I love WC, except for the whole last boss sequence. that can fuck off.

Classictards are hyping the game up based on nostalgia. The social aspect is using other people to get gear, having drama over who gets gear, and the fact it was the fortnite of video games back then so everyone played it.

I actually am. It's refreshing to go back and play an MMO with an older mentality.

I'll probably not play it past a month cause i'm still invested in XIV, but it's a nice little distraction and a good hit of nostalgia.

that's because it's a meme
if you do any kind of grouped content in any game you're gonna end up making friends
it's not like wow is magical about it

I have been. And then I try to talk and they're fairly unresponsive or neither of us talk and they just leave after we finish the quest

Jesus fucking Christ why do you get so triggered? Calm the fuck down. I didn't even say it was bad. Bunch of drama whores lmfao.

FFXIV has much better quests than WoW classic. You can't take that away from it.

>losing your job as a teenager because of vidya games is fine

No, it is not. Please never have kids if this is the sort of work ethic you'll instil in them.

Every time i see a warrior come into the area where I'm questing I can only weep for them as every ranged player around them takes all of their tags, and when they do eventually get one they have to sit and eat while I'm already pulling my 5th add.

Is it Whitemane or Herod the most populated server right now?

having jobs before you're 25 and have a master's degree is fucking stupid

God know. I don't even like classic, but the ffXIV leveling is fucking terrible.

Planetside 2 was the most social mmo I've personally played. I didn't play it that much though since it was a buggy pile of shit, but actually working with other people to do assaults or defend points was 10x more social than grouping for 30s to kill some mobs then leaving group.

I think the mismatch in levels and quests actually hurts socialization as compared to a flat level game like planeside. The goal isn't to acquire in game power fast, it's to just play the game.

It's very sad the MMO genre is in such a shit state. MMO and RTS are both just completely untapped by developers.

>lmao i said something stupid and then people called me out on it, like whatever i don't care it's not a big deal
You said it, you're stupid, go eat a dick you stupid faggot.

Not that much better. FFXIV:ARR came in 2013 and yet WOTLK questing is easily better.

Classic cucks are unable to take anything that could even be interpreted as criticism about their game
Don't forget at the end of the day they're still rabid Blizzard fanboys, just with an even more inflated ego because they like a 15 year old game that everyone else likes

Retail raids are the easiest encounters and only require half a brain cell to do well. If you are so fucking retarded you can't follow the simple patterns then you deserve to be removed for ruining others enjoyment.

What the fuck are you on about?

Based Paladin, keep smiting those abominations.

I always wonder what would happen if something like Tera Online or Warhammer online went open source with newly made editing tools.

based

Paladins are the best healers in the game, both PvP and PvE.

Retail raids are about LFR tier difficulty
Literally anyone who reads a guide for 10 minutes can play an encounter perfectly

People are gonna be shocked at how fast everything is gonna get knocked out

naxx was peak wow.

Wrath was the beginning of absolute cancer

TBC was worse than vanilla, but still managed to retain some good aspects.

Wrath is the worst thing that happened to wow you fucking casual. You probably say that because thats just when you got into the game.

Everything about it is great except the ques
If anything is going to kill this game it's the fact that half the people who want to play it can't and are stuck in 6+ hour ques

Boring as shit.

there’s not a version of WoW that isnt casual mate.

>fucking horde country

My classic experience so far has been leveling in 3 different zones at once and almost wiping to 2 mobs the same level as me

You'll have to respec for MS at 40 though. And you won't have TM when you get Zerker stance.

they should add an option to use Cata music. vanilla music is so bland and stale

Have any of you autists actually made friends with randos like you were supposed to in classic?

I think Wrath was the start of the downhill trend but still enjoyed it because I re-rolled Ret Paladin at the perfect time and would take over alliance towns and 1v10 them while getting mobbed by guards. It was so much fun being that broken. Only thing that comes close is DK in every following expansion.

Haven't masturbated since launch, so I guess so.

bro everyone is playing with their mates on discord

>All these complaints about queues
If you faggots hadn't rolled on the streamer servers like the zoomers you are you wouldn't have any queues.
t. Sulfuras

yeah. we ended up forming a guild together after running RFC for a few hours. it was rather comfy

Isn't that the second RPPVP server? The first one was the last server to get filled, so it's not weird for it to be dead.

This is true, but vanilla still retained casualized hardcore raid features of the time. TBC made it normified. Wrath completely and utterly removed any trace of hardcore raiding or after hint from then on.

This layering plan was not a great idea. I dc like crazy while at the same time not able to see everybody.

I've had two hookups through WoW, both became long term GFs though. One lived in Australia the other CA, and both flew to visit me.

Was good. I always thought it must have been crazy easy to get laid if you lived in the USA. Lotta thirsty e-girls.

Warriors need rage to damage. Warriors get rage as they do damage. It’s a vicious cycle where warriors without fear do no damage so have no rage so deal no damage. And before 40, warriors don’t even have a proper instant attack. They’re also melee with no healing and no escape. So there’s huge down time between a kill and if you over pull you’re dead.

I've made about 3 friends so far on the RPPVP server roleplaying as a night elf guy who's a centuries-old shithead racist. Refer to every other race's players by the name of their race, ie humans get called "human" and gnomes get called "gnome" and none of them are ever noted by name. Completely nice to other NE, but everyone else is "beneath" him.

This sometimes doesn't work because players of other races are just straight up better than me at the game, so I play off their superior skill by doubling down on my character's racism and becoming a cartoon villain of sorts. People like it. I like it. Got a human buddy I met killing gnolls and a night elf chick I met in the starter zone and another night elf dude I met that I ran the Stormwind walk with because we both needed to go see the human filth

Attached: copscan'tread.jpg (640x640, 62K)

and that's a good thing. Obsidian Sanctum and Wrath Naxx were the peak of raiding

females do not play world of warcraft.

>Not rolling with your friends on a 'low' server, or one of the new ones

I haven't had a queue since launch, and even then it was only 20 minutes.

>tumblr
Deserved

go play with your fat character then furry faggot nigger

It will happen when you enter the 2nd zones where every field has at least 10 people competing for kills

I would say you hit your first wall around level 25 and it lasts until level 30. Reason being that gaining new levels starts to slow down for real this time and the questing areas at this level range are a drag to get through (Wetlands, Stonetalon, Ashenvale). The dungeons are very boring as well, like you'll only have the choice of doing RFK, Gnomeregan and The Stockades which all suck, especially RFK.

It turns around however to one of the most enjoyable parts of the Vanilla leveling experience which is when you start doing the Scarlet Monastery instances. Lots of nice loot there especially if you wear mail or are a caster.

Second wall is when you hit 40 and you realize that you're too poor to get a mount and people start mocking you for it so you decide to start grinding some gold. You spend the next few days killing hundreds of crocodiles and spiders in Swamp of Sorrows and finally manage to scrape up the remaining 85 gold you need to buy your first mount + the apprentice riding skill. Success.

However, now you realize that you have 20 long and slow levels left to go, and you're feeling kinda fatigued because there's less stuff to look forward to. You've got your mount, got your SM gear and got your highest tier talent ability, so what is there to look forward to now? On top of that you have to go to Tanaris which is kinda depressing and you also won't be doing BG's for a while because it'll take you a while to get to the top of the level bracket.

I don't know what the 3rd wall is yet, because I gave up at level 44. I probably did that mostly because I didn't want to play warrior anymore. This time I'm gonna try to pick a more fun class that's easier to level, like druid or rogue.

What exactly is Discord? I thought it was a chat client, but it's the new Vent?

>Release the exact same game as in 2004
>It's still just as playable (besides queues) as it was back then
That's quite amazing

Already dropped it desu. Queues were/are ridiculous. Made it to 20 on the warrior I rolled, realized I fucking hate tanking without any actual AoE and just cut my losses. Can't be bothered to reroll DPS and be even more behind than I already was.

why?

They do if you play Alliance

Holy FUCK druid is so fun to level why play anything else?

breh that sounds like a self control issue more than anything

what profs should I go as a warrior? I've heard they're super gear dependant so I was gunna go BS/mining

It's an e-drama platform

Yeah it's for talking with both mics and chat. Don't even have to create an account to talk to your friend in the browser.

>why are people retarded enough to pay to watch esport games

Except it's only playable if you are a warrior, rogue, mage, or healer. Real """fun""".

I wouldn't go BS. I heard the gear you get during the first 20 levels are great but then it drops off.
Herb/alchemy can be nice since you don't have any self heals.

>The dungeons are very boring as well, like you'll only have the choice of doing RFK, Gnomeregan and The Stockades which all suck, especially RFK.

Anyone who can't appreciate Gnomer has no ability to recognize pure SOUL. It's second only to Mara and BRD in that respect.

Also: Just get your lv40 mount by killing a Whelping in Wetlands while waiting for the AB queue (This was before battlemasters in cities) and sell the pet for 90g

All classes are playable wtf you on

Druid, or shadow priest

>Whhaaaaa it's not EASY

Smolderweb is a comfy server.

Blacksmithing is good if you want to make yourself an Arcanite Reaper and/or Lionhead Helm, but there's no reason you can't just pay someone else to make one.

Two gathering professions are the best, just sell everything you collect for money, more and more money. You'll want as much as you can get for your mount.

Mining/Skinning is probably best but Herb/Skinning and Herb/Mine are fine too (although you can only track one at a time). Enchanting is also okay, since you can just DE all the greens you find, but it can definitely be a money sink.

When you get to 60, if you PvP at all, look up a guide for 300 Engineering, then collect all the materials and drop one of your professions for Mining/Gnomish Engineering.

Engineering is vital for any PvPer, but even more so for a Warrior.

WoW will honestly never be the same again.
We aren't 15 year olds anymore in highschool.
We don't have the same free time that we used to to put into WoW anymore.
