I'm just playing the real game. I don't really want to put time in a private server that is too buggy and will be taken down shortly. Any Sup Forums guilds recruiting?

Because I played it 10 years ago, when it was relevant.

>anti hillary propaganda

thread saged, hidden, and reported.

Because the private servers are full of min-maxing tryhards. The comfiness is gone.

I've already played it

Waiting to see what comes of these meetings before I get back into any.

If they're refusing to make legacy servers I'm gunna hop back onto Kronos but if they hint they're working on them or say "wait for Blizzcon" or something I won't bother and will just wait for the real McCoy

...

Legacy servers will never happen, user.

Blizzard will make some sort of shitty version of vanilla with LFR, heirlooms and faster leveling.

WoW is a shit game

Source: Played it at release.

Because I moved on.

Because back when it was released I gave up at level 41 and never wanted to go through that endless grind again. Game is better now than it ever was before. Don't get how people actually prefer that old garbage. Have fun looking up shit online cause there's no quest guide and other conveniences.

call me when there's a good TBC server

Does anyone even have time for vanilla WoW anymore?
Took me 5 months just to reach 60, back in the day. Life won't let me have that kind of dedication.

>Blizzard will make some sort of shitty version of vanilla with LFR, heirlooms and faster leveling

They may be out of touch but they're not that stupid, them floating the idea of pristine servers shows that they realise a lot of their userbase aren't happy with all the QoL shit in retail.

I played it 10 years ago and it wasn't actually that good, certainly not goon enough to bother with private servers that are filled with bugs and shit admins that will just end up being taken down anyway.

>Game is better now than it ever was before.
You have to be 18 or older to post here.

...

>Gave up at 41
>Endless grind
>Have fun looking up shit online cause there's no quest guide

Seriously, I'm not trying to be insulting, but it just sounds like you're not very smart or have ADHD. Every single quest has text explicitly telling you what to do, it's not vague in the slightest.

Sounds like Blizzard really hit the nail on the head dumbing the game down so much that even mouthbreathers like you can play though.

The closest thing to how WoW used to feel is Hearthstone tbqh.

>Need to blackjack 5 peons
>There are only 6 available spread out over the whole starting area
>A peon takes 5 minutes to cycle back to sleep
>There are 80 people trying to finish the quest

Yeah vanilla was fucking amazing.

because nostalrius got shut down

> Every single quest has text explicitly telling you what to do
Not every. Some are wonky, like the ony chain for alliance. How were you supposed to know to go into that blue dragon cave in winterspring?

Though, thats few and far between.

>Have fun looking up shit online cause there's no quest guide and other conveniences.

>he doesn't use addons for questing

...

Blizzard dumbed the game down so much even the mouthbreathers don't want to play it anymore.

youtube.com/watch?v=vR20QH5UHoM

Shit I barely have time for current WoW and there's literally nothing to do except clear the most current raid once a week.

Same reason I'm not playing halo 2 online anymore. It isn't 2005 and I'm not 13.

Easy quests > more max levels> more endgame players> welfare epics> easier heroics> more and dumber raiders>casualized raids> The hollow game we have now
Let me know if you want the bad flow chart for pvp casualization as well

>mfw someone made the Quest Helper addon

Whoever made it really deserved a high five.

nothing will be announced after the meeting. legion has a decent amount of hype right now, there's no way in hell they'd release legacy servers before or slightly after the release of legion. its possible maybe after a year when they lose subs from legion, but dont expect anything from that meeting.

expect it as a big pr move "we want to thank the dedicated team of nostarilous developers for their devotion and love of the game. we enjoyed meeting with them and getting their thoughts on the current game."

thats all you will get, at best.

So move on to something else. That quest is worth maybe 400 xp i.e. killing a few boars. Only a frustrated retard would spend an hour trying to complete it.

Kronos is almost kill friend.
Im stitting at lvl 52 just awaiting the server to stablize to ding 60 but i fear i am waiting for nothing

Waiting for legacy servers :^)

did once
got a human warrior to 45 in 4 months and it was the boringness of feralas that finally got me
never again

I grew up unlike you OP

>Missing the point

At the time no one knew what quests were required to do other quests and Sen'jin was much harder than the hardest part of the starting area so most people needed to turn in everything.

>dat video

holy shit I cant stop laughing

Bernie Sanders propaganda...mkay. Is no place safe?

Because I find it tedious waiting around for AQ to open, doing the available content over and over is no fun.

I have no doubt they'll require you to have the latest boxed expac to play legacy servers. This means no reduction in boxed sales numbers and no drop in subs, win-win for Blizzard.

That being said I also doubt they'd release legacy before Legion.

>being a Shillary
post saged, hidden, and reported.

But seriously, why are you here and not on tumblr?

>Anti-Hilary is pro-Bernie

America has you trained well.

Not like it matters. Literally ANY candidate is better than Hillary.

No other group is anti Hillary more than Bernie fucking Sanders cult followers

Friendly reminder that only literal retards dislike Vanilla/BC WoW. If you prefer Wrath+ to Vanilla/BC, you are literally retarded.

>people getting mad about the whole "you think you do, but you don't" thing

He's right, tho.

Assume you get vanilla servers, it takes you a whole year to kill Ragnaros (just because of all the grinding involved) and then what? What would keep you tied to the game? Updates? Aren't updates the very thing that "ruined" the game? Do you want to slowly catch up to present time? Then what, complain all over?

If you think you'll be happy with staying on the same content for years to come you're kidding yourself... and if you want official legacy servers you'd NEED to play in them for a long time so it remains a sustainable business.

That's the whole reason they won't do it. If you get bored of vanilla you are pretty much guaranteed to never come back, but with new things every now and then there's a possibility that you may want to check it out. Stall content is not a good business for Blizzard, content droughts prove that.

You can get to 60 in a few days if you just powerlevel.

>it takes you a whole year to kill Ragnaros
stop

Exactly my point

Sounds like someone is upset that their favorite candidate turned out to be a criminal.

I admit I haven't played WoD but I've watched a few other people play it. This guy for example youtube.com/watch?v=kdQA1GNWPQ0 can apparently one-hit everything without ever losing mana all the way through level 8. It looks way too easy to be any fun.

updates till wotlk and then start over / free character migration to live.

YOU

WE

>he lacked the dedication to finish all the shimmering flats quests

Ok, let me check the facts.

WoW released November 2004, Ragnaros was killed on April 2005. 6 Months.

That's even worse! You'd run out of things to do even faster... and considering people know how to raid by now the game's expected lifespan is about 4 months per player tops.

Sure, some people would roll alts and what not but the vast majority would just get bored and quit by knowing there won't be new things to do.

I want this so much.

>He seriously thinks Rag is the final boss of Vanilla

Wow you're not even pretending to be a Catababby are you? You genuinely are one.

Cool, you want Naxxramas. Then what?

>He forgot about ZG

>"You'd run out of things to do even faster!"
>Ony, BWL, ZG, AQ20, AQ40, Naxx, all of BC, all of Wrath
>Nostalrius was more alive and populous than ever over a year into its lifespan and people were eagerly awaiting AQ

Do you have any idea what the lifespan of prebc was? By the time blizzard finishes legion AND the next expansion legacy servers still won't even have transitioned to bc

god damn you fucking underage b& plz leave

BC. And before you say B-B-UT THEN W-WHAT, Vanilla-2.4.3 would be around 4 fucking years of content. You could even go to Wrath which would be six fucking years of content. Most MMO's don't even last a year nowadays before going F2P, I'm sure Blizzard would be happy with having 6 years of content that they've already made that people are willing to pay to play again.

Denim, Denim, Denim

Plenty of people here have already expressed desire to pay for shit that is years old. It's like printing money so why the fuck not?

Because they're afraid they're going to embarrass themselves.

They've already embarrassed themselves plenty with WoD, not like they've got a reputation to lose now or anything.

If they embarrass themselves they end up being reminded of what the winning formula is and make a lot more money because of it.

They embarass themselves with everything they do.

>I want patched vanilla, then BC, then Wrath!
>All that shit is updated content

You guys are stupid as fuck and I'm glad you will never have what you want.

The way I see it, you ideally want to release content in a range long enough that 90% of the people running it can fill up their gear sets before the next update. I figure that's about 3 months per raid tier, so that's 4 years to get back to MoP, and 6 years to catch up to live assuming 1 tier per year. That's pretty sustainable, especially if they release a new progression server every year.

I think the biggest problem is the vanilla community is really divided on what "vanilla" means. Whether it's full fledged vanilla with no modern changes or vanilla with QoL changes, it'll be a shitshow no matter what.

>Assume you get vanilla servers, it takes you a whole year to kill Ragnaros
We were doing full clears of MC within two months on nost you fucking idiot.

Not even reading the rest of your shit post. You have shit opinions and you're underage.

>the vanilla community is really divided on what "vanilla" means
That's because we've got normie infiltrators

VANILLA MEANS VANILLA, WARTS AND ALL. Whatever the state of the patch was, that's the state of the fucking patch. Yes those bugs and class imbalances are still there, get the fuck over it, stop trying to make this fun-time dragonkiller social game revolve around your dick-polishing minigame.

tbqh i don't even know how much fun you would really have in a legacy server. i'm not trying to say people who played in nostalrius had fake fun, but i do certainly believe it was artificial.

i mean, when you have every resource from before cataclysm available it's like playing dark souls with a walkthrough in front of you. like, it's no wonder every raid group in nostalrius was optimized as fuck: everyone who wanted to DPS knew to roll a warrior/rogue, everyone who wanted to tank knew to go warrior, and absolutely fucking no one played hunters.

Crooked Hillary & Lyin' Ted sound like a match made in heaven.

>normie infiltrators

That I can agree with. But I'm dead serious about people not knowing what they want because of...

This. Everyone wants their fucking hamburger customized the way they want it. Blizzard is much better just staying out of it.

Does he work just like in vanilla?
A lot of private servers have issues where bosses aren't as hard as they should be because of bad coding.

Well there are some really obvious QoL changes that completely pile drive the game into the dust like LFG and heroic gear thats on par with current tier of raiding but I don't think you'll find anyone who would object to keyrings, or cast sequence macros.

To be fair, Nost is a replica that, as I understand it, was running patch 1.13 with the raids gated to simulate progression. Rags would be easier compared to... Whatever patch was live when he finally went down on live.

If they ever got to BC, I'm sure Kael/vashj would both go down super quick as a matter of their encounters not being bugged to fuck.

I'm talking graphical changes mostly.

>being a pro-anything
>believing in Bernie meme
>believing in Trump meme

It's all the same thing. A rigged game to keep us divided and entertained.

No updates pre-wrath did anything to detrimentally fuck the game up, infact most improved the game.

Did you seriously think people were asking for Vanilla 1.0 and no updates, you fucking jackass?

Thing is it's not like Nostalrius was plagued with "it's not authentic enough!" They could have some sort of classic progression set up for version 6.whatever we're on, and people would eat it up because it's something to do besides sitting in your garrison and running the same fucking raids again.

Fuck yeah dude, we need anarchy up in this, only then can we truly be free.

>No updates pre-wrath did anything to detrimentally fuck the game up, infact most improved the game.

BC was my favorite version of the game but this isn't true.
>Flying fucking up Wpvp
>Emblem gear allowing entire raid tiers to be bypassed
>Balancing classes around Arena instead of being smart developers and balancing pvp and pve seperately
>Having shit balance anyway

WoD had less than 2 months before the community was maxing out, being done with raiding, and bored.

Lol, not even that guy but have fun believing someone who even if elected president wouldn't be able to do ANY of the things he promises. But I know its easier to be 19 and want free college and fighting the machine ect. ect. All you're really doing his handing Trump the presidency by causing massive party infighting. Have fun making America great again (:

>anyone supporting Hillary for any reason whatsoever

Yes I agree most of those updates weren't great but like I said, did any of those actually fuck up the core of the game?

Arguably flying might have but that's debatable. All of the shit they pulled post-BC measurably and objectively did fuck the core of the game up though.

Why aren't you on sandersforpresident reddit, epic Chris Hardwick, free college, corporations are running the country and so on.

world pvp was fucked the momment they introduced battlemasters
stop spouting bullshit
and even there we used to have people sneaking into enemy cities and getting into the battlemaster room to kill people from wall-jumping (something which i never saw in wotlk but i used to see at tbc in sattrath

The thing is you should be able to bypass raids. No one wants to play with their friends but not be able to play with them because the didn't spend the requisite times in each progressive raid tier. The problem is they essentially trashed every raid tier instead of running some season-like progression model. I mean D2 has been going for years because seasons give people a reason to restart every now and then. That's basically what people are asking for through all this.

Guys, nobody gives a fucking rats ass about your dog and pony show presidential race, this is a thread talking about Vanilla WoW. Fuck off.

>world pvp was fucked the momment they introduced battlemasters
This is my favorite meme. If WPvP was killed by BGs/battlemasters, how do you explain the hours upon endless hours of world PvP I participated in on my server in Vanilla and Wrath? That same WPvP which, by the way, basically evaporated entirely the instant they allowed us to fly on Kalimdor/EK.

>Did you seriously think people were asking for Vanilla 1.0 and no updates, you fucking jackass?

No, but asking for "vanilla", plus wrath, plus whatever, minus this, minus that, is a flawed argument and is no wonder the nostalgic community can't be taken seriously by anyone but themselves.

Nice strawman.

>Why aren't you playing vanilla WoW?

I already played it ten years ago.

Well... Draenor was a pretty bad expansion tbqh.

Even though I play on a vanilla server, honestly, WotLK is far better.

>all class specs are viable (some are better than others if you want to minmax, but ALL are viable)
>some of the best questing in all the expansions
>LFG is a godsend

Vanilla stil does a few things better, though.
>actual good class quests
>actual world PvP
>has a few quests that actually take you to other parts of the world, and are sometimes several levels higher than you (e.g. hey nigga, go all the way to Desolace and talk to this guy)
