Blizzard announced "Classic" World of Warcraft

[DDZ]

It was really not that weird in classic anyway, because if you have an alt of another faction you have to have it on another realm.

I took my Human Warrior to the dwarf starting area to level mining and get a bit of copper for my blacksmithing and tons of dwarves to told me to get out and to build a wall to keep the wrong-sized people stealing their ore out. (Not an RP server.)

Are you on whitemane?

All you gotta do is plan accordingly.

Since this is how it was in vanilla, there's no point complaining. You can argue that this is one change they can make that would make vanilla better than it was. Maybe, but don't forget one of the reasons people are adamant in wanting classic to be exactly how vanilla was is that once you give Blizzard an inch to start making changes, even good ones maybe, you just know they are going to take the whole arm and turn the whole thing into shit. Better to have vanilla with all it's warts than open that Pandora box.

I'd agree if they hadn't already made changes. Like new raid frames, sending more than 1 item in the mailbox at once or the ability to take everything from the mailbox. That line has already been crossed. And it's not like you can't circumvent the waiting by either having two accounts (which is shady) or using your guildies.

Not to mention they had the audacity to disable the automated LFG tool from the game.

Heck yeah brother I love playing with faceless strangers that don't say a word and might as well be robots!

It's not like instant mail between your own characters is comparable to LFG.

We had automated LFG in vanilla and god damn we need it again. It's not authentic without.

 

[Lacrymas]

You mean the meeting stones?

 

[Wilian]

You mean the meeting stones?

And the innkeepers. Yes. The system where you click a button in interface and it'll queue you up and group you up automatically with others who had queued.

[Lacrymas]

Did anybody use that, though? ;d

 

[Wilian]

I did once. 4 warriors and a feral druid.

 

[DDZ]

I played since a few months after release and I never knew that.

Or maybe I forgot.

 

[J1M]

If you want instant storage go to the bank and buy another bag slot.

Just because you spammed "LF3M WC" and some rando wisped "inv" doesn't mean that guy is going to be socializing with you compared to if he was matched with you automatically. Since wisping "inv" is not exactly a socialization check.

So, Rag was just killed by Apes on Gehennas. World first.

 

[Wilian]

Yeah and it's super easy. This is one of the reasons why I always sort of hated tuning things Blizzlike. We got shitloads of complaints when we were making shit too easy by making them actually Blizzlike. That's why our AQ release also got blasted (aside from two notable bugs that we fixed within a week). It was 'too easy' even if our numbers were those directly provided by Blizzard.

People really have forgotten just how easy the game was in terms of tactics etc. in the past. The real difficulty was always trash mobs and reaction to them and even now outside of mobs that fear (and if you're too dumb to not pull back) the shit you deal with is simplistic even numbers wise. Naxxramas is probably the only real difficulty bumb. Beyond that entire raids can have less mechanics and things to pay attention for than bosses in retail WoW

 

[Lacrymas]

1.12 class balance and itemization also play a role, though. I was advocating for them to buff the raids to compensate, but Blizz like to shoot themselves in the foot.

 

[Ninjerk]

They're going into Onyxia right now.

EDIT: www.twitch.tv/moo_uk

Wipe hehe. Should be an unlucky attempt since they've been doing it countless times on private server, as some people said.

32 people by the raid frames. Someone in his chat said they're not all 60, but idk.

EDIT: Streamer just said he has Onslaught girdle and loads of his gear is shitty greens.

 

[Ninjerk]

Onyxia down.

 

[cw8]

Just curious, where do they get so much time to play? Are they playing everyday for the whole day? I'm always envious of people who don't have to work.

Not everyone is a wageslave.

I used to pull off "4 days played" level 60 just by following Johana's guide. It's been 7 days since release.

4 days played = 96 hours. That's 14h hours a day for 7 days. Which is EASY, and it leaves you plenty of time to sleep.

But if you're in a guild, you can do dungeon farm runs and you can do it way faster. So I don't see the problem.

I don't know about all of them, but Monkeynews, I presume, is getting his bills paid from streaming. The rest of them have probably been designing their lives around the game since they started playing private servers.
