I wonder why

I loved that the lines existed because it meant there were plenty of open mobs elsewhere to grind while those retards sat there and waited.

I rolled horde this time since I played Alliance in actual vanilla but the horde-side game experience seems kind of lacking by comparison in my opinion. Leveling areas aren't as interesting as what alliance gets. I'm thinking of starting over back on Alliance. Anyone else feel this way?

I did the same way but feel the opposite, horde areas seem better and less linear than the alliance ones. Also Alliance doesn't have anything comparable to crossroads. My heartstone has been there for ages

mmo’s are time consuming. play a single player rpg if you want a finite amount of gameplay.

I don't think so. I levelled both in 2006, and barrens is still max comf for me. I just started leveling in barrens after 13 years and it's great.

ive switched from horde to alliance and i find both of them pretty cool. As horde i did the undead zones mostly, i find barrens overrated, the early part with the oasis is okay, but the southern barrens (southern part, not the split from cata) it started to get on my nerves. And thousand needles isnt too interesting either.

Meanwhile alliance has duskwood, darkshore and redridge which i all found fun

Barrens in general is cool but I love leveling areas like westfall, darkshore, duskwood and the capital cities with the underground tram is super nostalgic for me.

Alliance has objectively a far better leveling experience with way more interesting zones. It just has more boring races. Blizzard were rushing when they were doing the Horde quests, they spent a lot of time getting Alliance right and horde came out as a second rate addition.

God it's time consuming. I keep neglecting other stuff that needs doing.
Then when I finally get away from WoW I start browsing fucking Yea Forums to talk about Wow.

It truly is the 2004 experience with people still clicking their spells

Proof of them rushing?

Kinda split, as Mulgore and Barrens are >home for me, but so are Elwyn Forest and Westfall

I have ghost wolf so I don't care, but alliance side is definitely easy mode.

engadget.com/2013/08/02/wow-archivist-when-blizzard-hated-the-horde/

When WoW released everyone knew that Horde was second class to Alliance. It wasn't until the expansions hit (remember TBC took 2 years) that Horde got some love in both content and lore and people started crying about horde bias.

Fact is the expansions had to make up for the fact Horde got shit all for content at launch, they had the worse zones, the most rehashes and the most gaps between their levels with missing and unfinished content to blame. Barrens is one such example, it is two times larger than any normal zone because it was supposed to be two zones, but they never finished it so it just became one fat one. It also has the widest level range of any zone in the game, which turned into a real clusterfuck with Crossroads because you could shut down the whole server by dominating it as Alliance which is why it became such a meme.

Its why I want Classic+, I think they could add in new quests and improve the zones with some tweaks for both factions to bring the whole game up to par.

Yeah but you get to be the underdogs, try going to undead leveling zone if you get tired but you can also go to ashenvale or stonetalon mountains or southern barrens or...

I thought "I'm an adult now. I can keep it under control and just level slowly and read the quests like I've always wanted while still focusing on training and fixing my house".
Nope. I got one hour of training since there was a one hour queue on my server yesterday.

>perfect
Well, almost.
They shouldn't have started on 1.12. Made Rag way too easy. 16 debuff slots too.

Also they should have caught and fixed the getting full XP in raids bug sooner.

back in the day i rebound all the skills to different keys, now i just click half of them because im too lazy

Its definitely more addictive than any other MMO i've played. Even when im playing my warrior im thinking
>damn i really want to play a mage now
People keep talking about running out of content but honestly I think I could play WoW for a couple of years and not even know where the time went.

Its just the right amount of lazy challenge, comfy, immersion and 'oh neat i want to do that/have that' which makes you look up at the clock at 8pm realizing you haven't drunk, pissed or eaten anything since you started playing twelve hours ago.

Very interesting, that would fucking suck being camped.

I rolled Horde as well and still prefer Alliance, though this isn't my first time leveling Horde.

Alliance have objectively better-looking zones as well as more variation. The only issues are that Westfall scales up in levels extremely fast, and that they have way more running across the zone/world quests than Horde.

I certainly think they should have adjusted Rags health when upping it to 16 debuffs. Probably adjust all the bosses health.
The xp raid buff bug was fixed in an alright time. It won't matter a week from now when it was fixed.

lol, I'm 36 years old, I've got no time to queue for a mob. If I didn't ninja it with my ninja group in less than 5 minutes, we'd just go elsewhere and do different stuff. Queueing like this is stupid.

And I love that it takes a long time to level. WoW Vanilla is like a huge RPG you play with other people, where as retail and other stuff like Guild Wars are more like action games where you do everything as fast as possible.

>implying they didn't have a fix for it long ago and didn't just wait until method hit 60 to send it out

this shit is fucking coke. I feel like that guy in breaking bad. When Gus comes back to mexico to tell him about crystal meth, and he's like "no i dont want that synthetic shit, we sell coke, and only coke". Ive played many other MMOs after WoW and none of them attracted me. Ive tried to get addicted, ive tried to let them suck me in, but after a week i didnt feel like logging in again. This game however, this game just sucks you in like nothing else. Even though its not as complicated or advanced as modern MMOs, its the only drugs for me

In vanilla back in the day, I joined a guild and went on their ventrilo. They were all workers from the same hospital, nurses, doctors etc.

Then they asked what I did and I was a 17 year old neet pothead. I just /gquit on the spot.

kalimidor is a fucking mess for alliance though. The NE place is really out of position and it takes hours of flight from theramore to the rest of the place.

Its the whole reason Horde either love/hate Barrens so much, as well as their general experience. Its a lot harder leveling as Horde and the zone design fucked you over so hard you either went mad or loved the challenge of it.

To top it all off you dont even get Paladins, which while they are a DPS meme they are gods for PvE for heals and buffs. While shaman totems were never as effective and even once they got buffed they never really kept up with Paladins. Horde salt towards Alliance was immense at launch, moreso than any other time in WoWs history. Its probably why Horde still shitpost against Alliance a lot more than Alliance does, Alliance has always been in a good place but Horde has come and gone based off random patches of the month.

To be quite honest the only thing pre-TBC horde have going for them is the race aesthetics, everything about their faction is pretty bad in comparison to Alliance from quests, dungeons, cities, music, ect and I never saw any point in playing them in any vanilla version of the game.

the game starting on 1.12 makes a huge difference

Well, at least by the time we get to Naxx it'll be fair again with us being on 1.12 with full debuff slots etc.

After Naxx I want them to go into Classic+ with TBC and Wrath but without flying (rework the zones if needed), no lfg and no dailies shit.
Then scrap cata and everything after and develop it into a different direction

best zone to start with for level 30?
no i don't feel like going down to vietnam

the flightpath at the tauren camp really helped the barrens though. its still big but its okay.

>this crusty game still holds up today
Are MMOs dead?

God, i was leveling in ashenvale at the furborgs. Then suddenly a huge lvl 35 elite ancient protector came stomping by, fucking amazing. feels like i saw a natural wonder

>Having the need to rush to 60
>Not knowing that the charm of classic is the leveling and class quests
Zoomers need to leave.

outland kinda sucked the playerbase out of azeroth though. it was a lot nicer when everyone mixed together, sometimes you run through a lowby zone and help some guy take hogger out or something, its nice.

I'd be down for a reworked northerend that has some lvl 20-60 zones in it.

I really, really wanted to like GW2, even had a friend join me. I really liked the aesthetics of one races and got the perfect character looking exactly the way I wanted with a lucky rare dye drop while questing so I was pumped.
Nothing.

Now I'm levling the ugliest pink/orange/white mess of a female orc character I've ever seen and I can't stop playing.

>not saying youre a neet pothead, bask in the awkwardness, then quit

The fact is many MMOs copied WoWs general idea but never captured its soul.

There are a thousand tiny things which all add up to make the game unique, like special items/armor/weapons which change how you play. Ravager is a neat example of that, warriors will keep it on them from levels 37 to 60 just because of its unique 9 second cleave effect.

I cant even think of another MMO, apart from RS, which has those sort of fun effects. Where finding a blue actually means something and the world is littered with fun small things to engage in.

me too, i played GW2 a week before wow classic launched to get back into the groove and it almost made me reconsider playing wow because it was just so boring. I dont even know why, im doing the same shit in wow as i did in GW2, killing mobs for some dude in a fantasy world, but wow keeps me going

Should I change my leveling strategy?
I'm a human and went to the night elves right away cause I thought I might as well get a head start on my darnassus rep and do everything that gives me rep for them (want a saber later on).

So I did 100% of Teldrassil. No problem.
Then I did 100% of Darkshore. Was already sketchy, at the end I was underleveled compared to the few quests I had left despite killing a LOT more mobs than I had to and grinding on some shit inbetween quests.
Now I'm in Ashenvale/Stonetalon and I'm just flat out underleveled.

This doesn't work out for me I feel like.

Interesting, Barrens is by far the best leveling zone in the game though, connects to many places and you can be there for a long time.. Very immersive. It seems that sometimes accidents are good.

they did kill that stuff though. Like you had the gauntlets that give +5 weapon skill, or the hurricane bow that has 1.5 weapon speed, those are special, but they never made non-60 weapons like that again. Reminds me of diablo 2 and 3, in D2 you had a lot of lvl 40 gear that remains amazing. but in D3 its "level to 60 and go into the gear threadmill faggot"

Had the same problem. Ashenvale has some lvl 20 stuff, then if youre done with those switch over to a few quests in wetlands, into redridge, then some more wetlands, go back to ashenvale when youre ~25 for the other quests (i just recently did a lvl 29 quest in ashenvale, shits crazy in level difference).

It's also RIGHT next to Org/TB and everyone sets their hearth there.

Raids on xroads are either complete stomps because they happen so often people can't be bothered to defend or they get stomped when they do bother.

I really love unique weapons with cool procs and such things.
Retail WoW doesn't do it anymore and FF14 has the worst items in MMO history. Literally EVERYTHING is just +x/+y to your two stats.

Yeah, which is why the game became shit. In many ways it isnt actually designed like an MMO is normally. The idea of a mid level item/weapon being as effective in some situations as an end game item? You don't see that in MMOs. Whatever is level 40 is better than 30, whatever is 50 is better than 40, ect. Its boring and static.

Its ironic really, people who dont know how to make an MMO make the best MMO because it follows very few of the MMO tropes.

>Got a Killmaim off the AH for only 1g
>classicdb.ch/?item=13016
Been top DPS for every party i've been in, including for mages who are higher level than me from this bad boy. Its amazing to know that there is always some super rare world drop item which can really boost your experience, its fine to use the generic greens but a good blue really makes a difference and is fun. And it only gets better as you level and find the real unique stuff.

Its just so fucking neat to actually have a world that feels like a world and not just endless stat increases of irrelevant variations.

ESO does it better. Pretty much every item worth using is part of a set, and very few set bonuses are simple number increases, they're almost all entirely fun game changers. In addition to this, gear scales to the level you are when you get it, so if you like a set you can go back and get more pieces of it once you're at max level.

ESO is dogshit because it has zero challenge unlike vanilla.

Shit opinion. Alliance is a bunch of nobodies.Nigh elf leveling zones are a horrible mess and the 4 good zones (Elwynn forest, Westfall, Redridge and Duskwood alliance doesn't have anything going for them. You could argue about the cities, but when you think about it lore wise, no wonder alliance could affort to build shit like that when they haven't been really doing anything. Also, zeppelin > tram.

Yeah but it's ESO.

If you had ended at "ESO is dogshit." this b8 would've been better.

I rolled a PvP server but in hindsight 90% of the world PvP is boring shit. Like i let a low hp drinking priest live because it was boring to kill him, 5 minutes later he and his rogue buddy kill meand corpsecamp, while they first waited for me to attack a mob. So now i just clear any horde i see because most people just hit you when youre low. Or when two lowlevels attacked me after i walked by them one by one.

Yeah I'm not sure if I'll make it either. It's so much easier saving on pservers with an already established economy. I really want that mount though.

Wow is also just a copy of Everquest, with more polish and user friendliness. MMO's haven't evolved much since 1999 and that's fine i guess.

this is what classicbabs creams for?
holy shit just go outside

WoW is literally just everquest with more polish.

horde is slow at the start but gets faster than alliance at higher levels
alliance is fast then slows down at higher levels

yeah, once some 60s are around that didnt bother with professions until lvl 60 you can make good money. Like I put a bunch of meat on the market and often it doesnt sell. The early stuff did, but then people cant keep up with cooking and drop it.

Thats kind of the fucking point of an MMO.

It's nothing like vanilla, anyone that think it's perfect is a retarded zoomer that can only imagine how the game was

I wish rested was less useless. Its a nice mechanic to reduce the pressure of leveling if you cant play for a while, but the trickle is so tiny. I wonder why blizzard never buffed it

some dude made a guild called MAGA and kept harassing undeads. tells them to go back to the scourge and calls them Rotbacks

It wasn't designed for you to use regularly, it was designed for people who couldn't play regularly, like people who only play a few hours a night, or only on weekends, where the rested can have time to pool up to the 2 level maximum.

Kind of the antithesis of BFA

Yeah... it's perfect...

for it to fill up 2 levels you would have to not play for a month. Unless the rested trickle increases over time.

its not perfect at all

10 days to max out on rested

Again, its designed for people who don't play regularly, you probably won't blow through 30 bubbles of rested xp if you only play 2 hours a night.

I have, problem is one of the big appeals for this sort of thing is the fact that there's always people around at all levels, i look at private servers and everything's a ghost town, not nearly as comfy

They should do Classic+ but keep the level cap at 60 period. The new content they add should be targeted at all levels. Some raid content for fags at 60 like one raid every other year or so but then the rest of development should be on 1-59. New dungeons new areas all should be below level cap. New items should either be as strong or weaker than Naxx.

New items should be for hybrid classes so they can actually use the other specs in some manner.

Fuck don't get my hopes up

Seeing that clip warms my heart.

Yeah but that is pretty meh. Even if you can only play during the weekend you only get one level of bonus exp. Which is pretty bad

>I never saw any point in playing them in any vanilla version of the game.

Because horde definitely had a stronger "mmo" style community than alliance in vanilla, horde tended to have players who quit before 60 or stayed the course for the full game, alliance definitely i could sense people were playing to get to 60 then quit because they wanted a "online experience" and not to dedicate themselves to an MMO, thats why servers tended to be alliance sided in population yet horde had more top world guilds

lvl 18 rogue here
does it get easier at 20?
Right now 2 mobs is already a death sentence for me unless evasion is off cooldown

It's the price you must pay in order to stealth gank at 60

More like the experience turned out to be shittier than a geared lvl 60 pvp spec druid having a 10 minute match with your class of choice.

ZT bros, why are the starting areas so dead? Is EVERYONE already lvl 20+?

They increased the number of layers to fit more people. A full server a week ago is a high server today.

>didnt do any research before picking a class
Bear tanks suck. Period. And i mean that all the way from 1-60, including raids.
Feral is for faggots, boomkin is mediocre, and you only exist for hots as a healer. You are a suboptimal rogue , a fried chicken, or a fuck target because you are giving hots in pvp.

Vanilla is back when there was still a small iota of ideas pushed from previous games in the genre to where hybrid classes shouldnt be as good at fucking anything as pure classes.

Yeah, I'm the dogshit one. And yes, they are faggots. I say you play classic the way it used to be played. Don't make it some hugbox "everyone be nice and follow the rules" horseshit. Just get in there and cause havoc.

>slowass leveling
lol faggot, druid is fucking great for leveling

Prove it, faggot

I leveled a mage, warlock, priest and rogue in classic.

And when I played as a rogue it was significantly harder to find guilds, raids and friends. Everyone is always an ass to rogues for some reason. Just a warning.

Because a full server right now has like 10 layers+

>Beating someone to a herb

>he didnt pick warrior, the literal chad god of vanilla
Seriously you thought tank worship was bad in other expansions? Imagine the game in a state where only one class is viable as an end game tank and its also one of the best dps classes in the game at the same time. People are literally giving me free shit just to get on my good side so i will tank for them later.

The fact that people "embarrassed" about Classic difficulty because of streamers who killed the bosses or want it to be "bufffed" tells you a lot about how fucked up everything. Especially because I remember tons of threads where people preached "the journey". In reality journey is nothing but "grind mobs using streamer/guide tricks" and follow "quest marker". Faster-faster, endgame avails you! You're just same retailcucks deep inside after all.

I don't have the time to play WoW again. Due to needing money to move out of my parents basement.

But if I had to do classic over again, I would most certainly pick a mage. Good for raids. You don't need to watch the big toe or health bars in raids. You can fast travel with portals. You get free food. It's good in all situations.

It's obviously the best class to experience the game in.

go back to retail

That was for like three days tops. There is an even distribution of players now and no one is having to stand in a line. Grow up.

I think druid has low downtime, cat form for the most part is strong and bear form is useful for stronger mobs who deal more damage.
Healing is incredibly useful and just contributes to keeping the downtime low since you heal yourself, go kill shit in cat and during that time the mana regens quite a lot and you can go heal again.
Took me like a week and a half (real time) to get to 60 with a druid when I nolife'd pretty hard, for about 12-14 hours of playing a day
it's also quite fun to play

I would say hunter but you will actually be required to know some shit like turning off your pets taunt, how to use frost trap, aggro management, rotations, mana management, pet happiness, maintaining your ammo supply.

MC and Onyxia are still brainded 1-2 mechanic bosses, patches makes them only easier because of talents changes and debuff limits, but they are still easy
and don't forget ultra complicated frost mage rotation
>frostbolt
>frostbolt
>then frostbolt
>now frostbolt
>ok back to point 1 - frostbolt

A hunter once you get the pet is straight forward until 60 when nobody wants you in a raid. You can then reroll a useful class.

He can easily level without using frosttrap, if you oom you just go melee.

Rogue/mage probably hunter has a lot of shit to deal with the pet

Because Alliance always was the superior choice. Death to all Horde niggers. No shoes nigger!

Thats a lot to keep track of. is warlock easier with demon?

>mc and onyxia are brain dead easy!
The starter raids are easy? Huh, imagine that.

what's the one class you always go back to and why lads?

For me it's shaman, such a versatile levelling experience, switching between windfury/rockbiter, having heals, ranged pulls and high damage spells, nothing beats it imo

>This game is good because it offers no challenge, progression, variation or anything that makes a game interesting

Attached: 1523562672855.jpg (1000x1000, 92K)

yea, warlock has absolutely no virtual pet bullshit to take care of with demons, OTHER than having to buy spells for them and doing a quest to obtain them

Warlock is exactly the same but the pet can't hold aggro for shit

A warlock starts hard. But ends up leveling really smoothly at higher levels. Because a warlock never runs out of mana. And can just keep going forever. At higher levels that is.

pipe down or I'm going to kiss your little ears

>JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL NAXX
naxx, bwl, aq will be cleared in 2-3 hours after grand opening

Kind of the same as hunter except having to worry about ammo, instead now you worry about soul shards and other shit, i can't remember if your portal required a reagant instead of a soul shard. You will basically be a summon and booger stone bitch, plus you have to hand out healthstones individually.

But you get one of the sweetest mounts in the fucking game at the time and the quest feels really fucking cool.

It's not for everyone friendo, you are more than welcome to go back to retail or whatever other zoomer shit hole you crawled out of. You think you do but you don't man was right, for zoomers and the fortnight crowd.

And there's nothing wrong with that.
Night elves are tree worshipping backstabbing niggers that don't belong in the alliance
Gnomes are a joke race that somehow became playable, I've never met a gnome player that wasn't a total faggot. People that play gnome are either "lol so quirky XD" or powergaming faggots.

Just learned summoning at it requires a soul shard as well. I leveled a hunter first and it was much easier than a warlock. "But you have to feed the pet!" It's pushing two buttons. He'll manage.

Why live in a fucking stone house when you can simply make a shelter out of the hundreds of human skulls you produce with every step?

all vanilia raids are easy in term of mechanics, in 40 mans half of raid can sit in the corner masturbating and pressing two buttons for 15 minutes and they will kill the boss

>fights from 15 years ago that are fully detailed and known in advance with guides will be beaten quickly
Wow no way.

Does anyone have any experience getting name reported? I got a forced name change last night and just re-entered my old name, but a few minutes later I got a 24 hour ban. The email is just an automated "your name got reported" message. I'm wondering if the ban was because of the name reporting itself and I can just give myself my old name again, or if the ban is because I used the same name.

Yes, guild chat is LULW and Pog spam here too. If this is the retail audience I can understand why WoW is so shit now.

Problem with Classic though is that the game is exactly the same at lvl 10 as it is at lvl 60, you do the exact same typ of generic quests and use the same spells.

but grinding 10 [ANIMAL PART] is so much fun!! how dare you nit be happy, when 80% of bears here has cirrhosis and quest requires you to get healthy liver

Elves and gnomes have always been hated. I can't recall the lore but i think dwarves remained loyal through all the bullshit.

The community on Retail has been fucking wonderful since Classic came out. It's as if all the spergs and memeshitters have left the game. M+ and Heroic pugs are so much better now than they were before, because all of the shitters are gone. Please stay in Classic.

THIS

It gets a lot more fun later. Instead of grinding 10 Bear paws you grind 10 BLACK Bear paws at lvl 50.
You should really continue playing so you can experience that.

b-but average joe will not to this so quickly, speedruners did this in sub-60 raid, geared in shit, average joe with potions, epics and knowledge from videoguides will still be amazed by how hardcore are those raids and will wipe at least 20 times per boss, r-right?

So is it better to just kill mobs or do some quests then kill mobs for xp? Also at what lv is it better to just kill mobs for levels instead?

Try not naming yourself niggerkiller stupid /pol/tard

and now i can use Shitbolt lvl 4 instead of Shitbolt lvl3
wait, where is my mana, aw man, back to Shitbolt lvl3

Maybe i dont get it, but Im playing it and just levelling. I feel like im missing levelling with friends or people, but none of my friends play this. How can i possibly level with people when everyone knows where everything is and knows what they're doing? I never played wow before but I feel like the only person playing that has never played it

I have the opposite. All my friends play this. And I don't want to waste my life again.

>nowadays shitty trash in mythic has more complicated mechanic

It's funny how much "true classic WoW players" make fun of retarded retail players, making me think I've always been playing this extremely casualized version of a game that used to be truly great and only for the chosen few who could grasp its arcane and slightly imbalanced mechanics.

Been playing classic for a few days and it's like a joke. Nearly all of this questing "content" is in retail, so are the dungeons and raids, maybe even tuned better so that you may have to care about mechanics. People complained the classes were pruned too much and there's almost nothing to your rotation in BFA, then here I am playing a mage just spamming frostbolt over and over all the way into raiding. Maybe I just don't get it.

Don't be retarded, twitch speak is just 2019's l33t sp33k, kids are retarded regardless of generation, the difference is Vanilla WOW's average demographic was 28-32 age group, where modern WOW's age demographic is sub 25

Vanilla/Classic raids are easier than LFR though, and I'm not even joking.

there is no such thing as 'rogue LFM' , there is rogue LFG, that's it. you don't get a tank joining you as a rogue, you get a tank inviting you.

I'm a hunter and I literally have no issues running dungeons.

I do like that even if you out level an area, there’s still rep to be gained and it benefits you to go back, at least for mats/professions and to pick up a bit of coin here and there.

No, I'm simply saying you're pathetic because you actually spent all that time just playing classic and have nothing else in your life. Enjoying leveling is fine.

Nice bias there.

Blizzard never hated the horde, horde were always favorited, development wise WOW started with humans, high elves, and dwarves as the first few races developed, which is why Ironforge, and Goldshire significantly larger in the alpha builds of the game only to be cut back.

The biggest thing about horde was there was no pretty race, which is the sole reason why horde got blood elves, because it was the only way blizzard could get chinks to play horde as oceanic servers had an extreme alliance bias because chinks refused to play ugly races.

It was a win more, that made certain builds unviable and along side flying made world PVP fucking cancer, every fucking expansion had to 'fix' resilience until WOD when they finally realized how retarded resilience is because in MOP they had to make a stat thats sole purpose was to counter the damage reducing effects of resilience

Resilience is a great stat that should be in every MMO. It prevents complete domination of PVE geared characters like in vanilla/classic. And still makes PVE gear relevant since it has biggest burst than PVP gear.

Thats not the rotation you idiot its
1.Frostbolt
2.Frostbolt
3.Frostbolt
4.Frostbolt
5.Wand

Because blizzard didn't know how to make paladins not warriors.

They still don't, in BC they just gave them a mortal strike knockoff and in WOTLK they gave them holy damage whirlwind, before vanilla launched paladins had crusader strike in the beta, as well as a paladin version of heroic strike, but better in every way because it did holy damage and didn't require you to build rage

Some talents are a huge thing. Wand and spirit tap for priests makes the class playable.

Okay but its largely just for show. The impact of talents aren't that big or else Blizz would have kept them

>not being forsaken

>or else Blizz would have kept them
You assume too much if you don't think Blizzard will remove perfectly working systems

hes right though. Imagine subbing then boring yourself in 6 days.

Resilience is a winmore stat and always won, if you didn't have it you were fucked in PVP

PVP was always about outplaying your enemy, either by knowing the match up, having the right gear and consumables, gear was a buffer.

With resilience, none of that matters, who ever has more resilience wins, except for extreme match ups, there is a reason why WOW arena never got big and MOBAs took over, because that shit is retarded.

>Journey is reddit now
It's pure comedy.

If you have anti-healing abilities you should be able to kill healers.

You can have 10 people hitting on a priest in BFA and that fucker wont die until he goes OOM 2 minutes later

>imagine not having a jaw

WOW PVP has always been terrible, it was a tacked on meme based on EQ red servers where you can get ganked whenever, but had no substance or reason to it.

Again there is a reason why people don't give a fuck about WOW arena when its just 20 minutes of watching healer manabars slowly tick away, when you could play a moba

>Arms warriors entire fucking shtick is that they get a dedicated healer-slaying ability

Again. Did you even play BC/WotlK? This is false and you posting literal lie.

Thanks , i think shaman is the right choice for me, at what point (expansion wise) did warriors get better to level?

i'd play if it was a one time purchase. fuck subscriptions

This reminds me of TBC. I played a human male pally. There was nobody in that area, then I spotted a fem blood elf, probably doing the same quest. I did a /flirt with her, and she did a /kiss back. I felt total chad, then It came in, that it was probably a guy.

It's entirely true if one player has resilience gear and the other doesn't. If they're equally matched, sure, I'll give it to you, but if someone has their resilience gear equipped looking to pick fights with dungeon or raid-geared players farming elementals they will absolutely win by the merit of their resilience gear.

>not having milions of gold and being live embodiment of Gallywix

And again, you're missing the point.

Resilience gear is linear, boring, and worthless, it doesn't make the game better, it only forces you to play in a cookie cutter style.

There were already tools to counter the things that resilience was made to counter, but resilience was a global win more stat vs most builds, meaning you had to play a certain way, who the fuck would play a POM Pyro mage in PVP when you can't even kill someone every 6 minutes with it? Resilience made the game boring, it was way too good and way too broad in terms of power level.

Yeah, in vanilla people could 2 shot you, because the the goal of any PVP game is to beat your opponent, and a burn style burst build was most optimal in 1v1, which 90% of encounters happened, but it wasn't the only viable build, in TBC onward, resilience just made the game a massive bore because no one could do anything interesting, and again, if you didn't have PVP gear, you were at a massive disadvantage.

Stop shitposting about 'Classic +'. It isn't going to happen. It can't. We have to get official Wrath legacy servers. So just fucking stop with this pipe dream of bullshit.

horde are always giant niggers who never fight 1v1, ever.
i was passing a mage and priest (undead of course) that were 5 levels lower and they started a fight. a mopped the floor with them and made sure to corpse camp. until one of them took rez sickness
i was farming murlocs in south shore and again an undead mage/priest combo tried starting shit, i killed one of them, come back to find the other gone. continue questing and they come back with a 4 level higher shaman to specifically start shit.
once, one time i ran past a horde player who wasn't a complete nigger and of course it was a furry tauren with some gay name. your faction needs to get fucking gassed, you people are fucking mongrels in real life. im amazed you faggots haven't figured out how to bypass the faction filter so you can macro shout WORLDSTAR while you nig it up because you sissies cant ever fight one on one.

In the way how PvE/PvP gear works.
PvE gear gives you damage. High tier = high damage. More and more.
To compensate this PvP gear should bump your hp. However now there will be problem in PvP vs PvP gear scenario.

I prefer a vast pool of gear options, not 1 set for every PVP build.

PVP was a tacked on meme

Honor system wasn't introduced until post launch, battlegrounds came after that so that people would stop honor farming in hillsbrad.

That being said I always though that WOW should have had elements from the RTS for PVP, but the way PVP 'evolved' in WOW, it was shittier then any other PVP system in any other MMO that was out at the time.

Did you spec combat and pick the Dodge and party talents?

I personally hate gear in mmos that's explicitly designed to be "PvP gear". I'd rather just get gear that is good and exists in its own and use that

You have the damage of a rogue and healing between fights.
You get travel form at 30

lol you wish hordelet

Tier 4 was the COMFIEST time ever in WoW, raiding karazhan, doing arena etc

debate me, you can't prove me wrong

Why move when youre in the perfect place to play wow

i wrote thischimp

Imagine being stuck in karazhan for 2 years

Arena is one of the biggest cancers the game had ever seen because suddenly everything had to balanced for arena, even if it fucked over PvE, Battlegrounds, and wPvP

We're you the check who didn't know the mage rotation until someone told you and then you were shocked?

you are useless at lvl 60, apart from being innervate caster
but leveling is fun

if you are sub 40 then you should quit. you wont make it to endgame.

>And again, you're missing the point.
No I didn't miss anything. It's pretty clear to me that you never played pvp in BC/WotLK since people wear pvp+pve gear. Especially rogues, mages, warriors, paladins.
>Resilience made the game boring, it was way too good and way too broad in terms of power level.
>if you didn't have PVP gear, you were at a massive disadvantage.
Oh god. You can't even notice contradiction in your post. Without resilience you die faster but kill fast because of pve gear roids. With resilience you don't die so fast but you're not deal crazy damage. You don't need resilience to be good. Some classes prefer need resilience for maximum survival. And this is not ancient OP magic. Rogue annihilate warlocks. Warlocks wear resilience to survive against rogue. T ohave at least once chance

>not raiding attunmen for 12 years to get fiery warhorse
i played frost in vanillia since it had extreme CC, which was insane for farming shit and raiding was just pushing 1 button and yelling at druid
>INNERVATE ME FAGET

Pvp in WoW has always been a minigame.

wait. i forgot, i had to press two buttons on viscidus or whatever was that green glob you had to freeze in aq

Played mage in vanilla, pala in tbc/wrath. Priest in classic

>Holy shit, they actually did it. It's perfect
>raid exp is the same as dungeon exp

home btw.

The void is okay. Or just drain and use a succ as pet

PVP gear roids won't kill a druid with resilience, period.


You clearly weren't around for TBC or WOTLK, PVP, or you lived through some obscure blog that whined that some PVE item was OP when it really wasn't, the conventional wisdom was yeah, a POM Pyro could kill another naked resilienceless player easily, but if you had resilience gear you pretty much couldn't lose against someone else without resilience gear, period.

And no, people being retarded doesn't make your claims true at all, the only PVE advantage people had was Stunherald and maybe a few trinkets, but that was always true with the game that every other patch had a broken PVE trinket, boo fucking hoo, it was more interesting when that did happen then when it didn't.

But you still wore fucking resilience gear if you wanted to win against someone remotely competent, because everyone remotely competent stacked resilience

Karazhan is one of the best raids in MMOs

>melee
just go rogue

Raids were always DPS turreting, its not more interesting that you have to press 3 different buttons to cast a spell that does not shit damage.

If you want to make raids more interesting add in more dynamic elements that require things besides raw DPS checks, but thats all live WOW has, is DPS checks and instant death mechanics, because the game is boring as shit.

Are herbalist and alchemy good choices for a mage? I refuse to check a guide but I'm ok to ask people.

LMAO

Ofcourse it was good, back in 2004.
Fuckin Zoomers

how dare you say things like this, vanillia was so hard, raiding took 3 months to progress past 1 boss with 1 mechanic, those that had 2 mechanics were mathematically improbable and had to be nerfed
is it ok, if i check in guide and then answer?

Herbalist and Alchemy is solid for starting out, Engineering is king due to the exclusive trinkets they get.

But alchemy is good starting out because you can sell mats to rogues for tistle tea and blind powder, free action potions and swiftness potions will also make you some decent starting money too, swiftness potions being extremely useful for getting around as well

C'thun wasn't mathematically impossible, the tentacles spawns were bugged.

Ion Hozzikostas is a hack.

Reckoning bomb + Seal of Command proc is pretty fucking hilarious.

I'll switch to Shadow at 40 when I get Shadow form

They are conjured items

Resilience as it was implemented in WOW was fucking retarded

If resilience was to do anything it should have reduced CC duration, instead they nerfed CC durations to shitty 6 second ez to break garbage, gave everyone interrupts and stuns because healers became too fucking strong due to resilience, and the game became world of fucking stuncraft for 20 minutes until one healer went OOM and the rogue died so they instantly forfitted to requeue for ranking

Resilience was a terrible stat and the best thing they did was get rid of it, now if they got rid of ilvl scaled stats baked into every peice of gear the game could be interesting again.

i've been talking shit about wow for a long time but i never really played it extensively so i figured i'd give it a try to give my opinions more weight. i still feel like this entire game is set up to make mediocre people feel good

>gameplay is about what you'd expect from a 2004 MMORPG, really basic tab-targeting ability mashing where the only depth is that you have to alternate between 25+ different abilities, and enemies just autoattack you 90% of the time so it barely even feels like a game and more like one of those cookie clicker things
>PvE is never really difficult, mostly just time-consuming and tedious with a few knowledge-checks that create the illusion of challenge. you can essentially do 95% of PvE by just mashing out abilities while looking at the latest episode of hatsune miku on your other monitor
>leveling process is long and has that typical mmorpg feel of nothing really changing throughout leveling besides just your level slowly going up as you walk through the themepark
>areas are large and your movement speed is slow, so around 40% of your time is just spent on walking from place A to place B
>a lot of the tediousness seems like it's intended to wash out "casuals" who aren't interested in spending 10 hours a day to watch a number go up, but really there's not really anything specifically demanding about the game besides the fact that you have to be patient and spend a lot of your time on it
>PvP seems to mostly come down to class balance and gear, and the honor system only tracks your total amount of kills so there's no reason the shittiest player in the world couldn't eventually become rank 14 honormaster or whatever

all in all, it feels like a game about handing out participation trophies and making people feel special when they aren't, but it's masked in an obnoxious layer of tediousness to give it the illusion of being "hardcore". there are things it does well though, like the feeling of a conjoined world and the on-going faction war.

i would love karazhan being a classic raid, with redone loot and stats to make it doable for 60s. Maybe throw in some cool unique gear, like gear that allows you to cast spells from other classes, hybrid gear, or unique models for fashionfags.

You don't "mash" abilities in vanilla, and the movement being slow to begin with is wholly intentional and a good thing.

You also can't get high PvP ranks by being a shitter because of honor decay and the fact it only allocates the higher ranks to the top %s of players (R14 for example is the top 0.1% on each faction)

the difference was that there was a debuff limit, a lot of shit wasnt known to people, and it mostly was a gearcheck.

most boss fights in vanilla raids have some sort of gimmick. if your raid can cheese the gimmick they cheese the fight

>the movement being slow to begin with is wholly intentional and a good thing.

i don't doubt that it's intentional since blizzard is out to make money on subs and whatever elongates the game is good for them. but calling it objectively good is a bit rich. a bunch of classes even have things that make them move faster out of combat so it's pretty stupid that some classes will spend an extra 10 hours on auto-walk on their way to level 60

it's not, but i researched how it worked myself. am i wrong though? what's stopping the shittiest level 60 player from repeatedly killing similarly shitty players with a 0.5 win loss ratio day in and day out and eventually reaching the max rank? you don't lose rank for dying, right?

best feeling when I slowly collected all the blackfantom deeps quest all over hte world (including finding a random one in ironforge because i happened to explore a house") and then finally doing them all in one go after leveling up 4 times so i could do the dungeon;.

While on paper that might seem plausible the reality is that on each realm only a few can be r14 each week and will be premades. Few if any solo players will reach r14.

>Not doing pink quests

Pussy

I'm the same. Not sure if it's because Euro servers cram together a bunch of non-English speakers or what. The general chats 1-20 were great but now are pretty dead as well. Modern MMOs are now cheevo grinds for addicts and it shows.

>want to level enhancement
>remember that I will be forced into the healcuck role
>everytime I want to respec back I will have to LEVEL BACK THE FUCKING WEAPONSKILL
BC servers can't come fast enough

my point is that most people don't linger around like they used to, if they're not in the EXACT same quest progress as you they will promptly ignore your ass until they can use it again
it's comforting to know the spirit is still alive in some faglords such as yourselves, though

>a bunch of classes even have things that make them move faster out of combat
except those classes often have questlines that slow them down. like druids with their forms, shamans with their totems. And while reducing the gap might seem nice it also reduces the class diversity. When you use ancesteral recall or ghost wolf, you feel special for being a shaman and having that.

pretty sure that weapon skill thing was fixed during vanilla

If the better player killed 10 dudes of a higher rank, the better player. Not that your example would actually ever play out that way, because people pushing R14 play like fucking NEETs

>>my point is that most people don't linger around like they used to,
back when i played vanilla this happened plenty as well. Or people that leave when they are done. They just say thanks and leave. Thats nothing new. And the lingering only was there because some players felt a bit weird about it, but now more experienced players know its just stupid to remain in a party even when you move apart.
But if you ask they will be okay with it. Like in stockades i still needed a few red bandanas for the quest. so the hunter and rogue helped me out with grinding a few mobs. if i was a stupid autist and kept my mouth shut they wouldve left since they wouldnt know i was short.

dual speccing from wraith is pretty amazing and its sad they only got around it in wrath since people wanted it since vanilla

Is retail wow better for a newbie than classic?

>Is retail wow better
no

No.

I'd kill for dual spec but it's probably never going to happen. That shit was great.

That is for some that have never played any wow at all...

just like retail then, only no need to even type anything because it's automated through a menu :^)

After 15 or so, grinding is always the best choice for XP because the runtime to the quest areas and having to deal with other people possibly being there to kill mobs is almost always going to be worse. A few regions, like Searing Gorge, have an easily followed chain of quests that will get you about 1-2 levels. Mostly though, grinding will net you the best XP per hour, often times more gold from drops, but you won't experience the exploration end. Also I should mention, some mobs are just bad to grind, so knowing WHERE to go is the biggest thing. Ogres are almost always great, just keep that in mind. Low overall armor if you're doing physical damage, and the mages can be 2 shot in almost every zone they're in.

you guys must suck
