YUP, mad faggot?

Can't wait for it m8

How does it feel that everyone wants to go back to a time before you can remember OP?

>nu-Sup Forums will never experience Vanilla World of Warcraft in it's original glory

My day just turned much better.

My old mmo crew is talking about putting the band back together for classic.

>Came here to roast. But it's already cooked.
Nice user.

hot damn

Vanilla WoW was barely even a functioning game.

I just rp

>no
>no
>blizzdrone unironically believes Sup Forums doesnt see trough his larp

How can you RP on cross server user?

Lmao suck on my dick you underaged swine.

Imagine being born too late to experience MMOs. It must suck.

>people are going to take the blizzjew bait AGAIN

You knuckleheads just can't stop eating shit, can you?

Stop giving them money, you are only enabling them.

Arguably the most stable launch of its time period, sweet child

Im on Moonguard, its relatively populated.

Reee indeed.

UNGODLY ROAST

EQ had a flawless launch friend. It ran quite decently for years as well. It was all the others that had botched launches. A lot of those games were over a decade or two before their time. youtube.com/watch?v=Qn_Jud4KBi8 was probably the biggest failure because it was outright years before it should be been released. The damage modeling they had was fucking insane for it's era youtube.com/watch?v=BzpUVtVUBTI but there was no visual feedback on anything. Blow off a wing of a Spitfire and it looks identical to before. This kind of damage feedback wouldn't be standardized until shit like Planetside 2 was released.

>tfw Blizzdrones tell you that your love for classic WoW is all nostalgia goggles while you're playing classic WoW on a private server

Do you want updated or classic graphics, Sup Forums?

toggle

is it to late to join anons?i never got to play wow growing up
should i just wait for classic?

You might think you want classic WoW, but you don't.

What I truly miss are mi friends, my guild, and those times where I have my best.

Why?
A classic WoW server supported by a team that will know what they're doing would be great. Theres clearly a market for it so there will be a decent sized community playing it. Why do other people insist that I won't like a game when is true?

Dude vanilla wow was dogshit. Proof you didn't play.

opinion
not
fact

I'm still playing retail, paying $15/month and loving every minute of it.

Keep pretending you know what you're talking about. The raids were trash, current world bosses are more difficult than the shit in vanilla ever was. PvP was only fun before instanced BG's ruined everything.

What're you maining in classic? I'm thinking warrior and a warlock

>Get into retail a few months back
>Levelling is boring shit
>Get spells way too sparsely
>A talent every 15 levels sucks ass
>Quests suck
>Dungeons are all mashfests
>Legion class quests were decent
>Raid for a month or so and have some fun, get bored with Antorus within a few weeks because my guild leader sucked
>Start levelling another character on a private server and causing turf wars over tin veins
Vanilla just tickles my autism way more effectively than retail

Warrior because I don't want to have to deal with the warrior in my dungeon group refusing to tank for two hours

Samefagging way to hard

Today I was looking up older mmos and compared to the garbage we had at the time, WoW was golden. Anarchy online, last chaos, neocron, all these and many more are so fucking bad and look like it was made with excel. Everything was just grinding all day without quests for the most part and feeling useless.
Vanilla was a d&d in the warcraft universe, it was great because it did not treat you like the hero that saves the day, like it does nowadays, that's boring

I see you never got to see Naxxaramas.

again, thats subjective

sorry your feelings hurt, op

does namecalling make you feel better?
you can namecall me daddy if you want

WoW classic is simply the best single player RPG as you make your way through the world ever. Nothing else since has even come close, and nobody really tries, only that Amalur trash came out and it pales in comparison

I did. I just didn't clear it, just like I know you didn't.

Dude you lost nothing. in terms of mmo wow was always behind.
Maybe legion is close to actual mmo.
Just people was way better back to vanilla times, but it was for every mmo thought.
Now every mmorpg are either toxic autistic people, normies or effiency wannabes.
Same gonna happen to classic

whoa you read minds too?

So then why do you claim the raid were easy when you know only 3% of the guilds did a full clear?

...

Not that guy, but 3% isn't really a meaningful statistic. Back then there were tons of guilds for leveling, RPing, and generally just fucking around. It would be interesting to know what % of raiding guilds cleared it.

3%

babby can't handle the bants?

Okay, did you clear naxx?

No, I never did any raiding at all in vanilla, I just like to parrot opinions I hear on Sup Forums.

Why does it fucking matter if anybody cleared original naxx? Does that mean you're a sooper L33t gaymer? Does your opinion on classic not matter unless you've completed 100% of its content?

if you can read minds you would know

So he basically missed the best times in WoW and the MMO genre as a whole?
Yeah. Cheer him up some more.

The newer raids are actually more technically difficult than the old ones. The fact that people didn't have BiS lists and were going into boss fights blind really lengthened the time it took to down bosses.

Classic WoW still is a really good game, but trying to relive 2006 is a little weird.

I'd play this shit all the time if I didn't have a mountain of other games I want to get through.

A grand total of 30 guilds downed Kel'Thuzad before TBC launched

Honestly. I love WoW so much man. Cant wait for legacy servers. Happy with retail; however, i hope they dont keep appealing to these SJWs and Politically correct retards. Retail is still dope as fuck.

It just means you're a legitimate fan, and not one of these later fake fans.

A grand total of 30 guilds will down KT the day Naxx fucking LAUNCHES in Classic
The age of discovery is over

>go to mythic dungeon with some random dudes
>get barely in time to the final boss
>wipe once
>healer disconnect
EVERY FICKING TIME

Im confused. Is the world really that much different before the expansions?

>there will be 30 guilds raiding naxx on classic

Focus on raids is what killed WoW, vanilla is so much more than raids.

>there will be more than 1 server for classic
>there are guides for every single facet of vanilla and thousands of people with 10 years of experience
oh yeah but only 5 guilds will kill kt just like in 2006 right

The world as in physically or the state of the playerbase? Because the answer to both is yes.

I honestly enjoy doing the questing a lot, I got into the game during draenor. did vanilla have the same sort of addictive questing appeal, just doing a lot of mundane quests in the areas? i would love to experience that in vanila

I'm going to enjoy world pvp shenanigans again. I remember chasing night elf lowbies around with a fishing pole, spanking them with it. Ended up having half a dozen of them strip off their armour and dance around me while I spanked them with the pole. Was fun. As was doing group shit when we were way too under level.
Going as a bunch of level 20's to a village with level 40 or w/e guards was great, sneaking around past them and trying to shank the level 8's and the like there. Basically having a closet full of level 20's that some level 8 walked into.
Then you had the full on destruction raids when you were higher level
For a DikuMUD derived thing, it was fun. I just wish it had developed in that direction. Going for regional economies that have to be fostered and protected, focusing on both raids and world pvp.

was hinting at the fact that there probably wont be that many people invested enough to care

Vanilla was all about exploration and discovery. Zones weren't really designed with A>B>C>D>E quest hub designs taking you on a little disneyland tour of the zone like they were in the expansions. There often weren't even enough quests for entire level brackets.

More or less, but with a lot less hand-holding, for better and for worse. On the one hand when it worked it worked well - you had to actually open up the quest log and fucking READ to know what you're supposed to be doing since you didn't get glowing quest zones and compass pointers to tell you where you needed to go. A lot of the fun back then was just exploring and finding new stuff to do or fighting rare monsters, especially as someone like a hunter since rarespawn beasts had different and often better stats than regular ones of the same level.
On the other hand though, when it didn't work it fucking sucked, since a lot of quest just had bad, vague or flat-out wrong directions in your quest journal. The Mankrik's Wife quest is the most infamous one - the quest tells you to head one direction to find her, when in reality it's in the complete opposite direction of the absolutely huge Barrens, which weren't split up at the time and had a full level range of mobs in it from about level 13 to 30+ IIRC.

>unironically
What does this even mean?

>roll an enhancement shaman
>win greed roll for kresh's back
>have to tank every dungeon now because warriors don't want to
vanilla is an experience

I actually prefer the end game dungeon crawling. I had a lot of fun with IRL friends playing 5 mans in Classic WoW and learning/gearing.

It really is a mystery to me when warriors refuse to utilize their one advantage during levelling

>vast majority of players are explorers
>achievers and killers demand that they be catered to, despite causing more harm than help in keeping vast majority of player base
>spread lie that they're actually totally essential to your fun too you guys
You entitled faggots, just go play league

Tanking in Vanilla wasn't that bad it just took a lot more skill and attention to detail than the average dps rotation. And it took a little personal responsibility which is why people really avoided it.

Tab sunder and cleave spam isn't that hard. You also have to watch retard dps and see if they're not targetting your target and choose to babysit them or let them pull aggro.

>read where cave of spiders is
>read where bandit camp is
>read where NPC or lever is
Wow, what a totally fun and not at all gimmicky mechanic that definitely doesn't get old ever in the process of doing so hundreds of times on the way to max level.

Nice bait.

>not targetting your target
user stop I'm getting triggered over things that happened over a decade ago because of you

>Enjoys unfair fights so much that they're your fondest PvP memory
This is why world-pvp and levels don't go well together

>try to LOS pull caster elites
>shoot gun and miss and run behind wall
>ranged dps opens up on caster mob
>healer heals caster mob damage
>pat that wouldn't have pulled from LOS pull now pulls
>now you are zero on the aggro table with a pack pulled
>get told your'e a bad tank

>give criticism of overrated mechanic that was overused
>lol you can't have a different opinion

Reading directions is just bad when there's 1,000 quests you gotta do and 800 of them need it. If it were 300 instead it'd be a welcome twist.

>MMO genre as a whole?
no he didn't miss anything he clearly said he played runescape and maplestory and they were top notch back then too because the people weren't shit tier like they are now.

They're not my fondest PvP memory, they're my fondest WoW PvP memory. Battlegrounds had no fucking meaning to them in the grand scale of things, and felt even more gamey than world PvP.
My fondest PvP memories come from LOTJ, Armageddon and a few other MUDs. Where the PvP had actual meaning to it. Fighting over territory, capturing a member of the opposing gang and torturing them before Templars kick down your door and you run for it. Fighting over the fate of the galaxy and how the next era will form in LOTJ, stuff like that are my fondest memories.
However, when I think about it none of those fights were really fair either. I've been on both sides of the unfair coin, and it's fun in both ways. Forcing you to do unorthodox things like that guy who allahu ackbar'd the equivalent of the nuremberg trials while our faction tried one last desperate attempt to survive.

Reading takes barely any time and actually engages you more with the world. Quest markets and the like are part of the cancer killing RPGs.

Or it just makes you google the quest location, thus effectively punishing players who don't save themselves the time by alttabbing and searching.
And no, quest markers aren't a serious cancer killing MMOs. Most cancers killing MMOs aren't even new things, they're old things that havent been properly reexamined and replaced.

Changing your game based upon the metaknowledge players can acquire is iffy at best.
However, the departure from the old is what is killing MMOs. The majority of them follow DikuMUD instead of following other MUDs. The themepark shit combined with being able to have absolutely no political or economic sway is what's keeping them from being enjoyable. Give me a graphical MUD with politics, scheming and economic/policy control on par with your decent MUDs and I'll be more than happy to drop a fuckload of money on them. Instead we end up with this DikuMUD endless treadmill shit.

>There are shitter tween kids shitposting on Sup Forums RIGHT NOW who were born after WoW released

nightborne are aesthetic as fuck

No and No.

There was a time when I used to play this game religiously, but I quit that nearly half a decade or so ago.

>there are people on Sup Forums right now who don't remember when wow threads got 3 replies of people telling you to fuck off before it 404d

The thing about early wow is it's not all about the end game there's great fun to be had at every single level.
Now MMOs mostly feel like a rush to endgame raiding, or none at all.
Twinking is gonna be awesome again.
Multiple hour long alterac valleys.
World bosses and pvp battles.

No mount gonna suck balls though

Why does your post show up in phone but not in browser?

nvm I'm an idiot

Movement away from consequences to actions (territory control, politics, player-triggered events) definitely makes games less interesting despite many of these things being accomplished by older games; but I'd argue that the problems of weak combat systems, needing to grind to enter the zones dungeons and quest-lines that you're actually interested in, and barriers between people playing with who they want have always been present and are actually bigger issues.

>>Sup Forums unironically plays this game
Oh no. How horrible that I continue to play a game I like.
>Sup Forums unironically looks forward to Classic
I couldn't give a shit less. I just want it released so the nostalgia crowd will stop bitching about it.

Kek a good ol’booty blasting. I bet he plays a worgen in retail.

I'm just waiting for the last expansion to be announced.
Then I'll go back to playing to watch it die.
