Chased this dragon a few times now. Kronos is pretty well known at this point, but Vanilla is a long grind and losing your shit on a C&D, host pulling the plug or somebody running out of money sucks. I’ll be there for Classic day one as long as it isn’t some “new and improved” version.

BC private servers on the other hand...

I can't even register at the dumb twinstar site. Just keeps saying 'there was something wrong with your registration' with no indication what that something could possibly be

Vanilla raids mostly suck

UBRS/LBRS: not really a raid
ZG: Trolls so already wack. Also very easy.
BWL: Actually interesting mechanics, good story, but farming it for Elementium forever means I can't stand to even think about it
MC: legit the worst raid of all time. Patrolling bosses, long as shit, annoying attunement, ugly af
Ony: One boss, fun but kinda meh for loot. Neat story stuff for Alliance though.
AQ: Fun bosses, you get a bug mount, overall  both 20 and 40 are pretty good
Naxx: If you liked it in LK you'll like it in Vanilla. Pretty much the same but much more punishing. Best raid until Uld imo.

Other than AQ and maybe Naxx (but most people never even touched Naxx), there's nothing in Vanilla that is better than BC imo. Having all the classes available for each faction is great, new races are cool, story stuff is better, dungeons are a mix...some are stupidly hard for no reason, raids are definitely better as a whole in BC.

Imho the most important thing about vanilla is no cross server shit, no queueing etc.

Finder was patched at Wotlk, was great before it.  :( Reminds me of how fun Death Knights were back then, op shit aside, they had some pretty awesome mechanics relative to their time and other classes.

wotlk also added the god profession, inscription. that and enchanting were the best money makers ever. jc was right up there at the time too.

iirc tbc made veins respawn based on how quickly they were mined. if a vein is mined immediately it will respawn much faster than one that sits around for a while before being mined.

TBC was peak WoW.

Vanilla has the world and nostalgia but classes and encounters are mostly too simple and unrefined. Wrath still good but too many missteps.

well once you hit level cap you can work on capping your hit (in the 140s iirc) and then you'll start getting more hits and better rage generation. in most situations you won't have an overflowing amount of rage so you'll still need to make smart action choices.

nah i mainly just wanted to do the tomb of sargaras raid and see the closing of legion since its basically the end of the wow storyline

druid tanking is full distinguished mentally-challenged fellow now. no more set rotations, basically just a priority system of 4 attacks and its the same for aoe or single target. :lol however my bear does look like hes made of rocks which is pretty damn cool.

iirc hit was a thing in Vanilla but not until one of the last patches before TBC, maybe the AQ patch? that was a really big patch with a bunch of changes. in TBC step one on reaching level cap was to get your hit capped, otherwise you didn't do shit against raid bosses. i assume it was just to give people a reason to grind heroic 5 mans.

meanwhile i'm still playing Legion and now leveling my Paladin, more fun than Druid tanking at least. tempted to put in the work to unlock Nightborne race but I dunno if I'll even stick around past this month. no matter what i choose, it means i'm no longer allowed to mock dufus for playing vanilla/tbc :'(

it's tempting to dig up a wrath server or something but without the same people i used to play with, i feel like it wouldn't be the same

Wtf is going on and by is there so much hype surrounding the latest expansion? Is WoW back to basics now and if so, wtf does that even mean?

i dont even know what back to basics would mean at this point. the expansion is getting hype cause it's an expansion, they always get people talking about wow again

Back to basics for me would me mean end to cross realm LFG, PvP etc. Maybe end of ALL LFG funcionality.

If you want a party you have to lfg yourself again, make a guild etc.

This would turn the game back to an MMO again, instead of a glorified Diablo.

the interaction with other people with so many players on the server is rly shallow

i notice people take you less for granted on a low pop server, so everyone is more patient, more friendly etc


Wrong

It just takes a bit of time to get to know some people, cant expect to jump into a world and have great convos.

Why are you ALWAYS wrong about any Blizzard game?

The aspect of removing fun abilities is basically modern Blizzard gamedesign. That game truly died with Arthas for me.

as a semi-casual player i'm enjoying the new xpac. good story, some interesting quests, good cutscenes, lots of (optional) pvp, and i can do pretty much all the content without having to be a part of some mega serious guild.

something about their trailers triggers my nostalgia hard, whatever shape the game is in now i had a blast with it up wotlk, endgame cata is where i started losing interest and i barely played mysts (maybe levelled twice before dropping it?). maybe i should just watch all the cutscenes on youtube and get my fix that way

currently bfa is a step down from legion, but legion was the best expansion since lich king so that's bound to happen. but 8.1 is looking to really bring a lot of cool content and changes to the game so i'm looking forward to it.

that being said, if you are just nostalgic for wow there are plenty of cool story cutscenes online to watch especially for bfa and legion. those two really stepped up the cool story cutscenes and their integration into the game.

also for those interested, there's a beta of classic wow coming with the blizzcon pass. not sure why you'd need a beta of a game that came out already but it'll be there if you're into that.
