why do ffxiv trannies hate wowc so much

even if I quit classic, I'm not going to retail. So stop wasting your time, retards

i wish this was true. Mobs for quests are camped like hell.

I was still tempted to play again. But now that the news about layering fuckup destroyed every server economy and pace, this just takes the cake.

Classic is a solved game, there's no point in doing the same shit you already did over a decade ago. Classicfags will be in for a rude awakening by the time the next expansion drops and most of the Classic servers become ghost towns.

In souls you have 2 attacks and roll, in dmc you have dozens of unique attacks for every weapon/stance, but it doesn''t make dmc harder than souls, just flashier.

It's a buggy, exploitable piece of trash.

DMC is harder than souls even on normal

the shit is leaving so we can enjoy the community

I don't see how it will last in the long run without all the quality of life changes that later patches and expansions introduced, nostalgia will likely only keep people invested for a month or so. Besides those that are just rabid for old complicated shit for the sake of old complicated shit.
Don't really see MMO's in general having a particularly long life span anymore anyways. Their own over-saturation of the market basically watered down every playerbase so the idea of "massive" isn't even there anymore.

Back in legion i found a bug that allowed me to kill 2nd boss in toes for an unlimited amount of times with loot. I only wanted a belt, so i killed him about 30 times in a week. Nothing is free of bugs.

It's not faithful enough to real Vanilla, not just from the retarded playerbase but on a core level thanks to nu-nu-nu-Blizzard's retardism.

What’s a good way to instigate PVP on an RP server? I invaded Astranaar for half an hour but no PC’s came to defend it

Blizzard is a small indie company. Cut them some slack.

Higher levels when the newness wears down the socializing stops.
Quests are largely not interesting with most zones having no stories.
Its not hard.
Classes getting denied from groups left and right.
Class fantasy only exists for a few classes at best
Class quests are shit unless your warlock, paladin, or maybe rogue.
People realizing the old talent trees didnt have choice, it just felt like one because more button.

Its turning out exactly as I imagined and its funny to me.

Old school runescape is a solved game. But both games offer hundreds of hours in content and fun to play.

Mages are the best choice for everything
3 mages = fastest time dungeon.

they fucked up

I'm loving it and according to the published numbers it's got 4 million active players, which is at least 4 times as many as BFA. Every zone is fucking lit with other players, people helping each other with quests and socializing etc. The only thing I really dislike is the zoomer lootbois AOE grinding or the dungeon cleave meta meme, but those people aren't really affecting my gameplay experience so idc.

no souls is just way easier than people pretend
fucking nelo angelo 3 in the first DMC is more complex than nearly every souls boss

People fall into modern day habits (which was honestly vanilla habits even in vanilla) more and more as you level up. Communication slows then stops in later dungeons as they're so piss easy that everyone knows what to do. Classes are so hilariously imbalanced that many specs just arent going to get you a group even if said spec is still generally viable.

People forgot all the bad shit in vanilla and like to act like its just a modern retail thing. Naw. Its just the reality of loot based games like this. People will get used to what needs done. People will only want whats effective. Just like in vanilla. You can only get around it by getting a guild.


Which is what people from vanilla ACTUALLY remember:
Grouping up with rando's at low levels and socializing then; which is why most nostalgia stories are dealing with things like Deadmines or Scarlet Monastary, and doing shit with their friends at high level, because your friends largely wont give a shit that you're bringing your dumb ret paladin along for the dungeon run.

You gotta be a really sad, lonely person to post shit like this for the sole purpose of getting reactions. I'm well aware I'm just adding fuel to the pathetic embers that are your pleasure from being a braindead dipshit but oh well.

Retarded busywork button mashing has no place in RPGs, its not skill based, its not tactical, its just something to distract you from realizing the game is a pile of shit.

Thousands of games are solved. Doesn't mean they aren't fun to play. Sudoku is based around being a solved game but it's still played by millions of people.

Some people genuinely like the gameplay loop vanilla wow had. Classic ain't perfect, but scratches that itch close enough.

It’s viral marketing you shit for brains mongoloid.

I imagine this is bait, but if it's not i just want you to know that you're actually autistic. Actually either way you're autistic.

How does playing the game make me autistic? If I shouldn't roll need on everything, then why does Blizzard let me do so? Why is there some sort of rule that you can't roll need on stuff not for your class and only if it's an upgrade? Do people realize that maybe I need disenchant mats and money too? They can always roll need on stuff too if they want. Nobody is stopping them. But if they greed on shit, then obviously they don't want it. I really don't see the problem

I've avoided WoW for a long time now, but I'm currently enjoying both Classic WoW and Retail at the same time. Don't know how much the "It's just nostalgia" crowd can operate if people who have never even played a Warcraft game can enjoy it.

If everywhere you go smells like shit maybe you should check your shoes

WoW is a game that doesn't have character collision, it doesn't have manual blocking/dodging, it doesn't have animation lock, you don't make decisions in combat at all. It isn't an action game and has no semblance of action gameplay whatsoever.
WoW is a game where you execute your 6 button flowchart almost completely unthinkingly, the tiny amount amount of reactionary abilities that exist like interrupts aren't even on the gcd and they don't have a resource cost so there is no need to think about resources or timing.

WoWs combat is just an awful facsimile of real gameplay and is actually worse than auto-battle.

Microtransactions aren't even an option you idiot.

Just trust me, anyone making the argument you're making, is autistic. Anyone reading it will think you're a tard. Just acept it, or accept that you're a dick and need on shit anyway(i do it too but i'm not autistic enough to defend it).
Just trust me on this one broheim.

>nonsense

When you actually do the harder encounters in retail you do actually have to think about how to maintain maximum damage within your rotation. You're just a shitposter so you are actually trying to defend classic's 1 button damage rotations.

Counter point: while I agree with your opinion of the combat, I believe that's why the social aspect in combat is more prominent. As a tank I'm dealing 10% with what the mobs do and 90% with what my fuck up team mates are doing. The challenge doesn't come from knowing the mobs, but reacting to the shaman with Rav pricing windfury while the mage fireblasts the seduced healer.

it would be quite a thing if retail had more mechanics per boss that would make the longer rotations worthwhile - especially when you consider the dps checks involved.

Been meaning to try and make a more optimized set of gear thats easier to get and not going to get your guild disbanded. If you can reach the 400~ SP mark you should be pretty good.

I raided heroic and then mythic too you retard, the tiny amount of thinking you have to do during a raid fight like using your CDs in the correct phase or moving your character to the correct spot and substituting a button or two for 5 seconds or less is basically nothing compared to an actual game that is combat focused.

Classic gameplay is just as bad but at least they have the excuse of it being an old game. It has been 15 years and they haven't really added anymore meaningful combat decisions than existed before, just flashy distractions, lower gcd and more button mashing.

I don't get where this idea of "people are only playing to try and experience it for the first time" thing is coming from.

Is it impossible to just enjoy an old game? I don't understand why there has to be some illogical ulterior motive behind everything.

I like vanilla so I'm going to play Classic. I'm not trying to "relive my childhood" or whatever other bullshit you want to project onto me.

Tried it last night, bored @ level 8. Well level 2 but i push passed the initial gut feeling in the hopes shit changes for the better. Its just retail but slowed way down. Without the QOL and with the shit graphics. For a realm that had a half hour wait time and 1200 player que it sure felt dead too.
Stormwind was busy-ish, like retail on a merged server, but goldshire was dead and no duels going on like i thought there would be.

How are people enjoying this mind numbing gameplay? Theres nothing new to see or explore and the socializing is as dead as retail or any other MMO.
I hate my friends for pressuring me to waste 15 bucks to play this shit with them. Fuck Blizzard too for keeping my retarded friends on their shitty chore game.

It's 2019 and blizzard still hasn't solved the queue problem. This is ridiculous. Why would I have to wait 2 hours to play? It's retarded. Not only doing every little thing takes a long time, even logging in does.

I found it pretty nice since with divine favor its a nice 1.1k crit to go along with my 600~ crusader judgement. I've experimented with Ret and reckoning and shockadin is just easier to be consistent with.

>not as reliant on melee procs thanks to judge and shocks.

You could add the Shard of the Fallen Star for that extra damage.

clips.twitch.tv/ShortSassyStarTBCheesePull

Yep.
The only way I see giving this a try now is, if they release another server with no layers and don't allow tranferring there from other servers. So impossible.

Between layering, no reason balance changes, and the current community you're better off.

That would be an enormous exaggeration.

Nothing. It all went downhill after MoP.

You missed WoD which was pretty terrible. Legion was a vast improvement over WoD with a lot more to do. BfA is somewhere in between those 2 in terms of quality imo

Why?
Good? Bad? Ugly?

I love how active the zones are, I am still not use to it.
You enter any questing zone on retail besides maybe starting zones and they will be empty.

On classic everyone zone is packed full of people, constantly working together with bros on quests that are not even group quests.
Trade items and water, one guy enchants all of my gear for free.
Still in contact with the guy I met in the starting zone, I mail him cloth I find and he sends me back items he crafted.

The gameplay is fucking retarded but I am enjoying the community. Ran SFK last night and it is the best run I have ever had and I have been running that dungeon for 10 years.

Clicking more buttons doesn't automatically make it more fun.

The game is subscription+microtransactions though. Literally the worst thing

If you're playing an MMO by yourself you're a fucking retard.
The game is based around socializing with other players whether you know them IRL or not.

Fucking no.
I had better experiences in p.servers unironically.

I think you might be retarded.

modern wow is only good for slutmoging

Because they can't play WoW for free on Classic Gold grinding.

You'll need a warrior in your group if you don't want to waste hours trying to lure a warrior to carry you. But warrior is the biggest private server meme, right now it's overplayed, and getting the GOOD items you need is going to be super difficult. Rogue is in such an unplayed point right now even rogues are skipping on BiS dagges because they want swords and shit lik eperdition's blade goes to warriors. Rogue has the most absurd raw power in the game with no gear, they can decimate r14 people with lvl 1 daggers if executed right. Specially on horde, rogue is absurd with windfury, you just go from op to something else, warriors deletes everyone but they're still vulnerable and can't cc or vanish, while rogue can stunlock, blind, sap, vanish, sprint, riposte, silence kick, and do it all over again if specced for it, it's god damn bonkers.

Back at ya, bud

I didn't get the appeal back in the day and still really don't.
Dungeons and raids are good fun, but god damn leveling is just a chore. Is it because wow wasn't my first mmo? (tibia like 20 years ago)
It's not that I dislike grindy shit, I've had 3 200's in PSO, but just WoW really doesn't feel that rewarding in comparison.
I'm legitimately attempting to at least comprehend people's attachment to wow, particularly the stages where you're not running dungeons or raids.

Do you stop being perpetually broke at any point in leveling? Between basic combat skills, equipment upgrades (not even remotely BIS for my level), and ammo/repair I am consistently left with less than one gold every couple levels.
I imagined that maybe you'd stop being broke at lvl60, but then I was told you pay guild tax and basically don't do any solo content outside moneymaking, so I'd probably stop playing by then anyway because its one thing to do professions and earn some side cash, which only one of mine actually does, but if I want to kill the same things over and over I'll just play a different game that I actually enjoy.
I took skinning and leatherworking, but leatherworking has been a net loss so far, and secondary jobs (fishing, cooking, and first aid) I've done up to the expert upgrade (need to explore and save to buying those books) have been pretty much worthless outside of the being the one comfy thing in this game.
Auction house is too slow to consistently do professions for cash like you can on the grand exchange, and I don't have the capital for longer job sessions before I'd have to go back to this AH haggling garbage.
Wish I could list items only as buyout. Would just put the bid price equal to buyout, but then it would get buried by these ebay wannabes who list things at a handful of silvers for the starting bid, but a gold for the buyout.
Trading is screwed pretty hard by the ironman-tier gameplay most people do to the point I'm tempted to just sell to vendors and stay even more broke.

How do I git gold?

I'm level 30 btw.
This has been an ongoing issue, and I've pretty much relied on tossing greens and the meager quest gold (5 silver) rewards for cash.

Peak hours whitemane still has a 6k que. I literally can't play anytime soon if I log on now.

Ok first, just because shit at making and managing gold doesn't mean it's difficult/impossible or everyone is broke, it just means there's people who adapt and are more knowleadgeable and better at managing money than you.

First thing you NEED to do is get an addon that tells you the value of items, that way you can discard all the crap that sells for peanuts or not even pick it up, second get the best bags you can afford, it's the only investment in game that it's worth going broke for, it will reward you more in the long run. Second you're a fucking hunter the easiest fucking farming class in the god damn game, so don't fucking complain you're already better than every other class besides aoe mages. When you're 60 you can do maraudon farms for raw gold, if even the amount of money you can make in 1hr farming maraudon is too little for you then the game is definetly not for you, you're not going to make more than that unless you're part of the devilsaur mafia, get extremely lucky with black lots or ore veins, or find a random boe purple worth a ton.

Because they're stuck in stv hell?

I assume you are playing hunter? one thing you dont buy useless skills, only what u need for leveling, dont spend money for upgrades or professions. then you should have somewhat close to 100g at lvl 40. AND you sould loot everything to sell vendors

Are there addons that use the AH mean price? Or would it just be for vendor price? I suppose the latter is good enough for judging item value though.
I farm things very safely, but I would not say it is the fastest by any means. At least 3 other classes probably consistently out DPS me in PVE.
How did you guys guess I was hunter? By my jobs? I haven't bought any cooking recipes (only using the quest given ones) and only got a leather recipe when the one I was using turned green. Been sitting on medium leather since I got burned making fine leather belts, unaware there was a later recipe that would end up requiring them I sold them, but only after using all my light leather to make them.
I don't use fishing consumables, but I do need to buy the expert book to advance. Same boat with cooking and first aid, but at least bandages sell.

WoW Classic only costs the subscription price which is 13€ per month here in commie land. BfA costs 20€ or some shit + 13€/month subscription. Both subscriptions overlap so you pay the 13 once, you get both. For some odd reason, the subscription is not cross region, so you'd have to pay double to play with your USA and Europe friends.

Queues are still packed so yes a lot of people are still sticking to classic

I mythic raided on my Warlock in retail, and I will tell you right now that absolutely no part of any rotation feels as good or as satisfying as BIG SHADOWBOLT CRITS in Classic.

People are adults and can only take so much time off or mindlessly grind for so long without feeling bad about themselves. My medium small guild had 30+ people on yesterday and today theres 2 not including myself.

Sound like you're wasting too much time doing crap that's not worth doing, at least if your concern is money. Most people just rush to 60 and then spend like 60 gold on the AH to buy everything they need to max a crafting skill. If you didn't play like the first week, crafting professions won't make you money, at least not any significant amount of it, most crafting skills are a gold sink until maxed and even then it requires you to have specific recipees. Why? because it's extremely easy and common for anyone to have maxed crafting whatever and sell, they're just going to undercut your shit, also low level shit is worthless because you stop using it so fast, people just use quest items and greens they find.

I mean sure, if your goal is to enjoy the game and take it at your own pace, it's cool too, you can go and grind your level 15 beasts for medium leather and craft shitty greens and then think you're making money, when you could be getting a level or two instead. But the reason you're having issues with money it's probably because you're thinking your leather garbage is worth something. Actually fishing is the only one that might make you money, there's a lot of fish that's useful for end game players and not many people like to fish, but again is't very specific fish the rest are mostly useless.

I you're on a pve server tigers on stv start dropping some nice grey loot, an hour there should get you some decent money. If you're on a pvp server then you're fucked, do dungeons or something, stop worrying about money and just get exp, if you're so broke to buy ammo buy the shit arrows that are like 10c and just pretend you're helping. At 40 you can grind rock elementals in badlands, those are some big money, and again clean your god damn bags, don't bother with leather, or at least not with crafting anything, vendor the damn thing and rush to 60. Why? because at 60 mobs drop grey items worth 2g+ all the time, and way more silver.

Warrior is the all around best class in the game since they are the only viable endgame tank. You CAN make Paladin and Druid work to a degree but they will never be as good or as versatilve of a tank as a Warrior. Your DPS spec is also the highest DPS in the game once you are properly geared. The downside is that without support in PvP you are pretty much a free kill.

Rogue has very high single target DPS in PvE and is the 2nd best melee DPS in endgame. They are also the best 1v1 class in the game and can kill enemy players while being severely undergeared thanks to the amount of CC and raw damage they can put out. However, you will struggle against multiple opponents without help or a large gear advantage.

Should I pick ud or orc for my rogue? I really like the fem ud animations, but everyone says orc is op as fuck.

>Guild tax
What the fuck are you talking about there is no "guild tax" anybody asking you to pay gold into your gold to stay a member is scamming you.

You fucked up by picking a crafting profession (and the worst one to boot) on your first character as an inexperienced player. Your best bet is going to be to drop leatherworking for herbalism and then go back and grind your herbalism up. Make sure you skin everything you see and vendor the leather.

redpill me on druids. are they good healers? is leveling painful?

is this a 4ch guild or some normie mixup like every fucking other wowcg guild?
because i fucking hate normies and women.

Druids are the worst healers, leveling isn't bad at all once you get catform and a few damage skills, just a bit slow before that, bear is really boring when soloing. They're heavily underplayed though, guilds want 1 or 2 druids for mark of the wild innvervate and combat rez, so getting your tier set and shit is extremely fast and effortless. They're actually decent tanks or offtanks, but you'll rarely get a chance to do that in raids, nice to do for dungeons though, a feral/resto build is perfectly fine because you get 20% extra int with the feral talents so you're not horribly gimped in solo gameplay or stuck with healing. Actually healing dungeons as a druid is kinda shit because you lack a rez spell that isn't on a 30min cooldown, so it might be better to be feral tank in 5mans and just go healer in raids.

I mean honestly this guild is just a random group of dudes I picked up. We ain't got a discord or nothin, we just are.
Also all we want is F R E S H, so if you want that shit hit me the fuck up.

What about BIG SHADOWBOLT CRITS in tbc?

Spamming that infamous hunter macro on TBC was more satisfying, people were deleted faster than I would cast a shadowbolt crit.

fair enough. I have fond memories of quagmirrans eye proccing and immediately knowing I would have to soulshatter if I crit twice in a row

i cant even wrap my mind around these cucked orbiters vying for attention of king neckbeard

I'm in university now so I can't go back to to classic. I proabbly would though just to play with friends I know simply to do BRD & UBRS, arguable some of the funnest dungeons in WoW, ever. The original dungeon designer for vanilla WoW even published a book about designing them.

BRD was the best because it was simply so massive and provided so many reasons to keep going back, even at level 60.

The tax being if you want to raid, the main tank is apparently going to use the guild coffers to pay for armor repairs, which is something members are expected to contribute to from my understanding.
That and good goy guild managed loot, which sickens me, but if my friends are actually autistic enough to keep a point tracker system/spreadsheet I'm alright with it.

Classic is patrician

post b-hole

ffxiv trannies still on suicide watch

OSRS has longevity because there's more to do than just level up and upgrade your gear. There's like 30 skills most of them take the same amount of time as dinging 60 in classic to level up to 99. It's a much bigger time sink and there's more to do when you reach endgame and gear your character up.

I think the majority of players are starting to see through the facade, or have already done so. It was pushed by private server losers but the reality is that it is not a good game and people have realized this.

This is nothing new. What annoys me is that WoW babbies believe classic servers are somehow new to the MMO Genre. This happened to Everquest in 2006 and 2011. You had a massive amount of people coming into the game and then half of them leave as the nostalgia wore off and everyone was racing to the top.

Leveling was most of the experience. Every few levels you get something cool which always kept me going. For example rogue gets dual weild at 10, poisons at 20, first stun at 24, mount at 40, etc. There is always something to look forward to. If it's not a skill you maybe get access to a new dungeon. Always something to look forward to.

Just incorrect, end game raiding requires hunters, warriors, healers, made more convenient by warlocks, and made less boring by rogues and warrior dps, you aren't going to frostbolt your way to a quick raid run. Every single good guild is going to be looking for a diverse roster because that's actually what works in raids, even if we accept that aoe farming is the best way to clear dungeons, the game isn't ultimately about dungeons.

Can't make this up. I work odd shifts so I usually play around 2-4am server time when it's pretty quiet. I'm in chat and mention having 100g before lvl 40 for my mount. I get a whisper from another player asking me what professions he should take and how to make money. So I start giving him basic advice like taking 2 gathering profs and AH what you can. He says he never uses the AH and just vendors everything. So I start giving him an Auction House 101 lesson. Basic stuff. As I'm telling him info about cornering markets I say. "Yay capitalism!" and he responds, "We must seize the means of production." So I tell him that he is his own mean of production and fuck that commie bullshit. Dude stops responding to me.

Why are commies so uneducated, insistent on being poor, and fiscally irresponsible?

No, that would be rogue. As I said, I melt mob before my charge even gets off cooldown (15 sec) and I pool so much rage that getting 5 sunders takes no time. Rogue has to sit there and wait for energy ticks. It was boring as fuck. So glad I rerolled.

you fucking faggot retard

It's too boring and it's painfully obvious how much shit in the game exists solely to waste the player's time to keep them playing longer because the lack of content overall means a lot of people would've unsubbed after a month or two if they could get through shit faster. This was true 15 years ago but most people playing (myself included) had never touched an MMO before and were so hooked on the basic nature of how MMO's work and the novelty of being in this huge warcraft world that we didn't care.

Why they would release this right as the big fall game push comes along is beyond me, every week multiple games come out I want to play and I can't justify walking for 20 minutes in WoW Classic just to get from one location to another.

>Why they would release this right as the big fall game push comes along is beyond me
To milk out the Classic retards, of course.
They made millions out of those rose-tinted retards.

Not even baiting, but people don't actually think Classic is going to be a sustained, long term thing right? You either have to go back and keep redoing older expansions and defeat the whole purpose of "Classic" or keep the game as is and have it stagnate.

I honestly don't think anyone is arguing that classic is harder, unless they're retarded. Went into MC this week with complete randoms and clear everything but domo and rag and that's only due to not having rep for runes. Everything literally fell over because the player base evolved and people know not to do stupid shit like melee hunters

I like how classic is so much fun that it pisses off the retail trannies into a rent-free permanent thread.

you're not even close to grinding hell, around 40 is when zones stop giving you enough quests and you have to grind like 4 hours per level and fight for spawns because every fucking zone is over crowded, but the good thing is past 52 you can just farm isntances that actually give you pre raid BiS

I can't play this game. Every single part of both games trigger my worst compulsive behaviors. Spent a week on classic and a week back on retail and I can't handle it. There is too much to do to feel complete. I'm out.

All bull shit aside are there actual numbers anywhere? I expect classic to not last more than a few months but would be cool to see legit numbers.

So much fun that everyone got bored and quit? Game isn't fun and only zoomies that never played it argued that it was something that it's not

This is why I rotate between four characters. You hit a stride and can push through the first 20 or so levels in two days with average playing time. If you feel keen you might just end up playing a single class for a week and hit 2-3 levels a day.

There is only login queues because the server cap is much lower than it was previously lmao

People exploited layering, if you're not sitting on thousands of gold right now you may as well uninstall

I've seen different sources mention 2m and 4m. But nothing official.

Don't think so, yes it will indirectly accepting a failure on their other product not holding remotely similar numbers, but it still remains as them monopolizing the largest mmo audience in the western world, and something blizzard loves to do is to shit on smaller mmos with their clever updates and expansions being released close to other mmos releasing their own expansions or brand new releases. Anything above a million players is enough to grant them good PR.

They'll never acknowledge their mistakes, but they can always bump Hazikufuckingcostas and say we're so happy people like classic! we see this as an opportunity to build something the players really enjoy, and we will work very hard to make sure our players remain happy with the gmae they're playing! also don't forget to check out our brand new patch 8.3! where we fuck all the lore and promote a sjw narrative for all our colored hair players!

This same feeling but with all the WC quests.

You thought you did but you didn’t.

I find the grind to 60 is really rewarding because you know everyone else had to slog through that shit to get where you are, then that combined with obtaining cool gear at whatever patch endgame is currently is what makes PvE fun for me.

Sub is keeping kids, hues, russians, chinks and other subhumans population in check, so i am more than willing to pay few dollarydoos for it.

Well you clearly think like an insect so this game is right up your alley.

WoW went downhill with BC. The last okay expansion was WotLK.

I'm already past that mark and it's still keeping me entertained.

>only mature adults such as myself play this fantasy computer game with fairies and knights

Mega fucking bait

Having a guide helps cut the bullshit. I'm currently in tanaris and I am digging it. If you fuck up and have to grind two levels straight though that's aids. Doing your dungeons once you have all the quests gives a nice mix of
>Questing
>Solo grinding
>Dungeons
Some quests are plagued by overcrowded and low spawn rates. You just have to learn to skip those if they don't prereq more important ones

>BC
Kill yourself, belftard

Every game drops half the playerbase in a month, right?

The mind of a classic drone is really amazing.

This model is superior.

And classic is no exception.
Pay no attention to meme screenshots. On Ashbringer I had daily 3k queues and right now I get a queue of half like that if any. 3k queue only maybe on weekends.

>Not even baiting, but people don't actually think Classic is going to be a sustained, long term thing right?

I reached 40 while questing, crafting and doing some dungeons here and there, but yeah i'm getting burned out. People who cleared raid are waiting for reset and 3 of my friends went back to other mmos or retail.

No they're hard because 20 people need to do actual mechanics besides "don't stand in flame lul". Sure at a certain point in an expansion everyone outgears it but actually making hall of fame with your guild is very difficult. Gearing is really easy too, I can make a new character right now and have it mythic ready by a week. You should try to pug azshara mythic and see how far you get. Everyone complains about how the game is so ez but statistically speaking 90% of players never even finish a current mythic tier.

People used that gay modern crap too back then, it was just gradient rather than material/flat.

His rotation consists of frostbolt, no clutter shit.

Which I keep hearing people claim and it's the dumbest shit I've ever heard anyone say and I want to beat those people over the head with a chair. I've done all the classic raids on pservers and told people it's too easy compared to today for non casuals and everyone was like

Im not saying that retail isnt mechanicaly harder, but man, fuck all these raid tiers and mythic+. Its cancerous, boring and lazy as shit game design.
For me, what makes classic better game is that is mmoRPG (and i dont even play on rp server), when retail is closer to moba shit at this point. Not my thing, but i guess some people like it that way.

There are too many variables in demo. Generally those specs that involve getting all your trinkets procced at the same time and then popping cds, and unleashing your burst are meme specs that are trash unless you do it perfect. Then perfect you blow other specs out. That said, most "rotations" are hampered by the need to debuff targets.. and targets are debuffed cap at 16. Just one warlock could apply 6 debuffs to a single target by themselves. Those 16 debuffs are shared by 40 people.

imagine being unable to talk like a normal human because your tiny little fucking zoomer brain can only communicate in stupid fucking memes inserted by the latest influencer or gay ass youtuber

because you're retarded and don't understand what i'm saying. rogues undeniably have a harder time finding a group than fucking tanks

>That said, most "rotations" are hampered by the need to debuff targets.. and targets are debuffed cap at 16. Just one warlock could apply 6 debuffs to a single target by themselves. Those 16 debuffs are shared by 40 people.

every server, every community has been absolutely compromised by layering. people turbo-leveling and turbo-farming by abusing it, just absolutely dominating the game while the rest of the community flounders around at level 40 whining that some retard ganked them while gathering pig dicks in africa

i wonder if this is how alex jones feels

its retailniggers screaming that all their petsmountscheevos are worthless and that retail really is utter shit

No doubt. I actually wish blizzard reworked raids to make them more interesting mechanically. But when you enter pvp suddenly you're using three bars of actions. My fucking leveling warlock regularly uses 15 abilities on fucking NPCs

Almost no one in here plays retail (the /vg/ threads are fucking dead).
It's just people being annoyed by the homeshitters that have been plaguing this board for months.

Tell me that this is a mockup and not how somebody really played. Please tell me.

>What is harder on classic than on retail? Leveling?
Leveling is very fast if you use layering, i'd compare it to wotlk. However a lot of absolute morons here will tell you it's hard because they need to be spoonfed on how layer-leveling works and are unironically out there grinding for days

that's still 7 but oh well

Classic is probably the worst Pserver i've ever played on. Same chinese gold farmers, same layer abuse for world firsts, same hyper-inflation one week in from layer abuse.

that is the UI of the average nigga topping your heal meters by over 40% above the next highest guy and keeping all your DPS alive while they send him tells to spot them whenever they stay in on a damaging mechanic that would otherwise kill them, effectively speeding up your raid

You could cut that shit down by something like 1/3 without makiing a difference though

But using open world layering for mob spawns was known since the beta and the world first 60 literally used it on stream. People have been criticizing the implementation for a long time. Exploiting instance layers is another matter entirely.
