Are you ready, Sup Forums?

Are you ready, Sup Forums?

when?

When is it coming back ive been waiting since it was closed

Yeah, when?

I've been seeing people hype it up again the last week, but no one has given a concrete-ish date. Does anyone even know?

>We are happy to announce the details of the third and final stress test! We’re extremely excited about this one, as we have quite some enjoyable events planned. As with the other tests, this one will begin on Sunday, December 4th, at 12:00 PM EST/6:00 PM GMT+1. Additionally, some time after the test is over, we will be announcing our release date!
That's what anyone knows.

The old nost server with the character database is coming out later this month.
The fresh server is probably going to be the first or second week of January.

So fucking ready.

I already lived the real Vanilla days when the content was relevant. Going back now just feels like a hollow empty shell trying to replicate that same essence but it's not 2000's when the internet was young and people used Thotbot.

I hate how paladins got some of the coolest looking armor sets in Vanilla and yet they were one of the least fun classes to play.

>they were one of the least fun classes to play.
What do you mean "were"?

Fair point.
Paladins have always been the most aesthetically pleasing, and yet ironically the least mechanically fun class.

>tfw no official vanilla server with minor improvements like AoE looting, transmog, and achivements (that can't be linked)

Transmog and achievements are fucking cancer.

>AoE looting, transmog'

no.

I've been ready since legion came out since I'm not a nostcuck

>People call retail wow players shills
>This gets shilled every hour of every day

AoE looting should have been in the game from the start.

What's the point? I already played wow back when it originally came out. It was fun 10 years ago, but I don't know about now...

nice binds

What is wrong with optional character customization? If you don't like it, you don't use it.

>one of the least fun classes to play.

Leveling is AIDS but once you're lvl 60 and geared Paladins are great fun. Literally the hardest class to kill in the game.

>Every nost thread ever

Sure current wow is not perfect but too many QoL shit around for me to go back to vanilla.
Also since its a private server i aint putting me time into that in fear of being taken down again.

>AoE looting
Eeeeehhh I can live without it.
When you're leveling you usually kill one enemy at a time rather than clusters of them anyways, so not a huge problem but I wouldn't mind it being added in.
>transmog
This would probably fuck up the economy. Prices for lowbie gear will go up because level capped people will be buying it just because it "looks cool".
>achievements
Literally pointless.

do you stay up for 20 hours a day waiting to post that image in every nost thread

Daily reminder that only poorfags will play this, especially desperate ones who feel they're superior for playing on a Russian server full of gold farmers and brazillians

Also daily reminder that the Nost team cucked themselves out of what they had, and that their downfall was inevitable due to them advertising their own gold selling in game

What do wrinkly purple testicles have to do with anything?

Is he wrong? Can you even argue against what he is expressing with this picture?

>Prices for lowbie gear will go up because level capped people will be buying it just because it "looks cool".

Great then. You can make enough gold even on low level character with some luck. How is that bad?

>hurr durr muh blackmageweave slutfu
kill yourself.

>that chat
someone is bullying malfurion!

you need to help him paladin

>Can you even argue against what he is expressing with this picture?

I never played retail vanilla but I had fun when I played on Nost.

they are the shriveled, nostalgic balls of nost cucks.

Never used that feature before, but i got shitload of gold from mofos who love it, so fuck off.

>retailcuck still sore from the nostbullying

I guess its a dual edged sword.
I just don't want to compete with people trying to buy a specific piece of gear I need really badly because they want it for their wardrobe.
I kinda see your point though.

>Prices for lowbie gear will go up because level capped people will be buying it just because it "looks cool".
that was the only benefit of transmog though. gear that very few people/no one would use became relevant just because it looked cool. The real problem of transmog is you can't tell if someone is geared unless you inspect them. it really fucks up pvp.

rather have working autoloot and 100% quest drops/quest objects you have to click on don't despawn

>Member tarren mill?
>Member rogues being overpowered?
>Member hybrids having one spec?
>Member stats on gear being random as fuck?

This works with a pirated version, right?
Sorry moralfags, I can't buy a game that requires a subscription plan.

Nope and I don't care.
yes

You think you did, but you didn't.

>not already playing on kronos II
it's literally nost w/o the cancer and overpopulation

WoW, even vanilla, is everything that has been wrong with MMORPGs in the last decade. Why do you feel nostalgia for it?

Missed out on playing WoW before WotLK so I'll definitely give it a shot.

If it's fun, great. If not, oh well, no big deal.

I'm thinking of trying out an UD Warlock on the PvP server. I hear they can handle themselves decently in most PvP situations.

You'll care when you can barely move a foot every couple minutes. Not to mention the bot spam.

It's weird how when vanilla was new I thought it was retarded as fuck and happy when BC came around, but now people are all clamoring for it.

Yes, participating in the final stress test this Sunday. Greatly anticipating the launch date.

BC fixed a lot of things wrong with vanilla

Yeah, I love transmog but I still think it could use improvements like:

1) An option to turn it off
This would make it so that you don't see anyone's transmog options. Could also include an option to base it on faction or something, so you could see your own side's transmogs but not the enemy's.

2) Disable it in PvP
Granted it's pretty easy to tell how geared someone is based on their HP, but that isn't very reliable when there's 40 people running at each other and you want to pick out which one is the strongest/weakest at a glance. Again, this could just be an option to toggle for yourself when in battlegrounds or arena or something.

not a nostcuckold

The only thing I unironically want is free talent tree changes and a secondary I can switch to on the fly.

>Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
>Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian
>Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros
>green dagger dropped by a random skeleton in Northrend

It always bothered me that the last one on that list is the most powerful

Especially after introducing heirlooms, you'd think Legendaries could scale in level - even if they're just the equivalent of a dungeon blue at max level, at least you'd get to bring them out every expansion for levelling

I remember people being furious when TBC released because questing greens were more powerful than Naxx gear, and now it's regarded by many as the best period of the game. The funny thing about WoW is that its entire history is one long bitchfest and no one was ever happy with the current state of the game.

T3 lasted well into raiding, T4 was barely an upgrade the fuck are you about? The only ones bitching were the casuals losing their hard earned epixxxx from ZG pugs

You know whats funny?

I never ever complained about anything on the forums ever. I was too budy raiding, PvPing etc.

Ofcourse sometimes I would bitch about rogues in vanilla and TBC, but it always shocked me how people spent their times writing "change this" in official forums.

>4000 chinks minimum
>need to download a Chinese typeset for the game just so their nameplates aren't invisible, let alone all the spam they're sending you and flooding the channels with
>GMs are ultra cucks who refuse to simply ban VPNs because it's "racist"
Besides that yes

Can't be bothered. I played the shit out of Vanilla when it was current and I'm still sick of the idea, it's honestly boggling that you guys care about it.

I feel like the people who want to play it are the people who thought BC and WotLK was the second coming of Jesus or somethingboth expansions were shit

Plenty of end-game vanilla gear was viable well into the late 60s and even early level 70

>that one quest in I think STV where the quest reward is a cloth piece with strength

Vanilla gear always had interesting variety, for better or for worse.

They just sit in the back, spam dots on everyone and follow up with fear spam. Besides rogues, they were the most annoying class to fight.

Very ready. Infact I've got a couple of friends coming to stop at mine in January when we all have time off to play together.

Most annoying class goes to mages.
>lmao ice shield

Don't forget

Been messing around on kronos 2. A bit surprised how many people are around the world.

>vanilla end epics lasted into raiding TBC
>wotlk end epics were comparable to level 81 blues
>no one bitches about wotlk > cata jump as much as the vanilla > tbc jump

wew

Is Kronos 2 worth playing on if I want my vanilla fix now instead of in a month?

That's because vanilla was a broken game with items that made certain classes bullshit.

Getting one shotted by mages ring a bell?

I cant wait, gamers! I'm so excited I am shaking!

>you will never pound retailcuck boipucci

Where can I download a client?

it's gonna be dead after a month and you all know that but still want it why

Any 1.12 client works, you can get one from most private servers' websites
Try on kronos

I feel like they just want it to be contrarian at this point. They see the nost team handing their source code to same random russians as a big "fuck you" to the people who thought this was dead and think they're invincible now....that or they're poor and want free wow.

The reality is this shit probably wont last outside of being a meme to piss off people playing retail wow. They only enjoy it because some people playing live wow don't.....they wont admit that it's the same terrible game.

I'm still seriously pissed that Demon Hunters aren't a cloth class

People only enjoy it because other's don't? Are you fucking dumb? Read what you just said.
People want to play the game, because they want to play the game.

Nobody playing nost really gives a fuck about retail. Hence why they're playing nost

You've just undermined your own argument though.

There is nothing different lore wise which separates a random blue in a wrath instance to the green dagger that drops off a random skeleton. And that seems to be your issue, the legendary status of those weapons are now irrelevant when they out performed my random drops and quest rewards.

Planning to do half-half (as best as classes permit). Was thinking...

Horde: Warrior, Shaman, Rogue, Warlock, Priest (Shadow)
Alliance: Paladin, Hunter, Druid, Mage

That being said, what's the best Horde race for rogues?

Undead. If you aren't a min/max-fag, roll troll, its rare and trolls are nice.

I'm pissed they are a class period.
>Latter stage Shadowmoon quest chain that dictates that becoming a demonhunter is unbelievable difficult; only Elves are capable.
>Even then, few survive the intense training Illidan puts them through.
>Only 2 Blood Elves managed to survive the training and even then one of those went crazy and is now a SSC boss

And now there is an entire army of them, including whole armies of the Illidari, chilling on some unknown planet and are now the good guys.

Orc or Troll for PvE
Undead for PvP

I said that they enjoy it to troll the rest of us and because they're deluded into thinking it was somehow not worse than what wow is now, or they're poorfags who just want a free game.

Either way, two things are clear to me after seeing this thread every day.

1. Nost is just a bad meme at this point
2. You lack reading comprehension

Is it really so hard to comprehend that people simply like Vanilla WoW and want to play it? Why are you trying to do all these mental gymnastics to try and find some kind of motive behind all of this?


People just want to play vanilla WoW, dude. Nothing more, nothing less.

Undead for rogue. Trolls however benefit all caster classes and Tauren should be warrior tanks. Bloodfury doesn't work so don't pick Orc.

Shills get paid

Are undead rogues viable for PvE, as well? I'd prefer a race that has viability in both PvP and PvE.

>Is it really so hard to comprehend that people simply like Vanilla WoW and want to play it?

Actually yes. I played vanilla wow...I was there for my server opening up AQ and I was there when my guild was wiping for weeks because people were dumb as fuck on Thaddius. I have some fond memories of it but as a whole it was an unbalanced mess and felt more like beta wow than vanilla wow when compared to Tbc and even Wotlk.

I can't understand why people want to go back from that aside from pic related.....the game was 100% improved upon each expansion up until the end of Cata.

So someone's subjective opinion is now an objective fact? It's an opinion whether someone think's nost is worse or better than retail.
Poorfags who want a free game may apply to some, but to generalise and imply that all thousand players apply under that, is ridiculous and you're lying to yourself.
How it's a meme idc, people just want to play vanilla wow, they did, it lasted for a year, people had fun, and now we want a repeat of that.
If anyone lacks reading comprehension or basic skills, it's yourself. Stop strawmanning and jumping to conclusions as well as making basic fallacies.

Sure. The only race/class combo that really profits in PVE is Tauren warrior tank imo.

Because you didn't you epic memester

>the game was 100% improved upon each expansion up until the end of Cata.
Objectivity does not equal facts.

they want to play it free

if someone comes up with a current, bleeding edge retail version of wow and they offer it for free,

nost would get immediately abandoned.

everyone making an account knows it.

Then why the fuck are you here? I now hate Smash Bros. and got burned out on it a long time ago, but I don't go into smash threads and yell about the only people who like it are just salty about new Nintendo games or whatever.

People fucking like games that you may not like. Deal with it, autismo.

...

I hope blizzard does the right thing and stops this again. It's stupid that they would issue a c&d and then be magically okay with another nost server going up.

>Legion is good!
>honeymoon period is over
>Legion's horrible design choices are starting to pile up
>class balance is at an all time worst

>adding even more legendaries to the pile despite it already being a problem now
Blizzard is astounding. They actually add content to their game yet the actual game is horrible to play

No class is enjoyable to play right now. I'd rather be spamming aimed shot and sitting down to drink than play a retail hunter.

>t's stupid that they would issue a c&d and then be magically okay with another nost server going up.
Blizz sends out c/d all the time. It was the Nost teams decision to shut down because they thought it would give good faith to Blizzard and give them a chance to work with Blizz on an official legacy server

Blizzard ignored them and now they just said fuck it.

c/d is just a warning. Kronos has gotten like 15 of them and is still up

>Le poorfag argument

Getting pretty tired of hearing this now. I probably have more in my savings account than you've earned in the last 5 years.

Lol, no. I'd rather not have a character with 50 billion health that does 10 million damage a hit and have to play through like 5 expansions of abandoned content just so I can never use the chat log ever and use the LFG tool to instantly warp to where I need to be without ever talking to anyone in game for anything ever.

No fucking thanks. I'll take a flawed old WoW over a soulless dead polished version any day.

>honeymoon period is over

Oh man I had some good laughs reading the PTR forum the other day when 7.15 got datamined. Even the biggest Blizzdrones who test the PTRs are starting to get fed up.
