not if the client is also written from scratch.
and also, if a CLIENT emulator does not modify the behavior of the genuine client, it's fine.
of course, connecting a client emulator to a non-emulated server is illegal. basically a mismatch of any form with blizzard's intentions is what makes it illegal.

idle kite
#

Still that does not mean that emulating a wow server is illigal

lime raft
#

because theyre taking world of warcraft

#

and running it as if its their own game

idle kite
#

Ok...ok. lets leave it at that. Classic is coming. Cant get here soon enough

glad shoal
#

I think I saw that classic will be patch 1.12 somewhere. Kinda a shame! I joined mid-vanilla, would be nice to see it from the very start.

lime raft
#

yea cuz now its gonna start with everything how it is at the end of the expansion

#

everything is gonna be cleared very quickly

maiden river
#

i thought vanilla was hard as balls think7

faint tapir
#

I remember reading that they were just using the patch as the base, that doesn't quite mean they'll launch with everything available at the start

#

I am certain that they could potentially lock certain content for later

#

That is of course, once they get it up and running to begin with

glad shoal
#

Vanilla was harder for sure, but I believe part of the reason WoW got so popular was that it was more forgiving than other MMOs at the time.

faint tapir
#

yeah

#

some games had you either lose entire levels or hard earned items and gold

glad shoal
#

I remember fumbling through to 60 somehow. I always remember my first capped char. Paladin. Grinding scourgestones in EPL XD

faint tapir
#

I wanna try to earn that lvl 60 pally mount

glad shoal
#

That was fun. IIRC you needed at least 3 pallys for the dungeon part.

faint tapir
#

:v

#

I don't recall that

glad shoal
#

You all had to use different judgements on the adds or something.

faint tapir
#

yeah the different judgements but couldn't a single pally pull that off?

glad shoal
#

Possibly. I was really bad back then 😛

#

I didn't stop clicking til like WotLK? Though I was a healer, so it wasn't quite as bad.

faint tapir
#

I didn't start until the beginning of wotlk so I didn't get to have a taste of vanilla

glad shoal
#

The guild I was in had a few core members, and they always seemed to insist on the same setup which was me as pala healer, a holy priest, a rogue, a warrior and a warlock

#

2 healer meta, bois

faint tapir
#

I'm planning on starting out as a dungeon tank cause I have a group of friends that I hope are willing to play when classic rolls around

#

I'll likely switch to healer once I get to or near cap assuming I actually decide to do raiding

glad shoal
#

It's kind of tough, from what I remember, Warrior is one of the hardest to level

faint tapir
#

I'll be a pally

#

I've always heard they were good dungeon tanks

#

just not so much for raiding

glad shoal
#

I can't really remember, I did see the occasional pala tank, but 99% were warriors or bears.

#

I'll level a rogue, most likely, those are fun 😛 Especially if it's a PVP server.

faint tapir
#

well, regardless, It's going to be a fun experiment for me

#

I would have picked a shaman instead cause tauren are one of my fave races, but a friend really wanted to play a nelf

glad shoal
#

You'll get no lust D:

faint tapir
#

D:

#

nor totems D:

glad shoal
#

But you will get pala buffs! and Divine Intervention

faint tapir
#

Totems totems totems

#

ayyy

#

dwarf/pally was my second fave combo at least

glad shoal
#

Yeah, pro-tip then. You'll need an addon called pallypower

#

Because you need to rebuff everyone every 5 mins (15 for greater) and in a raid, that can be a hassle

faint tapir
#

oof

glad shoal
#

The greater did everyone of one class though. So all rogues, all warriors, etc...

faint tapir
#

I've never been much of a raider, but I'll keep that in mind should I go for it

glad shoal
#

But you'll buff rogues with the attack power one, and there's always one that says "I want kings"

faint tapir
#

i should probably look out for a healing addon while I'm at it

glad shoal
#

I wonder if addons that no longer work in retail will work in vanilla?

faint tapir
#

🤔

glad shoal
#

Like they stopped things like Decursive working ages ago, would they go back on that? Or is that a new policy for all of WoW, retails OR classic, I wonder?

faint tapir
#

in retail I like to use healbot, although I'm not fond of the name

#

I struggle to properly target party members without it

#

I accidentally hit alt-F4 trying to remember the keybind for it

glad shoal
#

I started healing again for HFC in WoD. And the addon I absolutely recommend is "Clique"

#

It basically just sets up mouseover macros pretty easily for you.

#

And I use ElvUI's default layout for healers. Never had any issue.

#

I remember getting annoyed with the rest of my healing team in HFC, because the Council boss had a debuff that didn't play nice with healbot. Progress stopped until there was an update to healbot because they can't heal without it ><

faint tapir
#

Oof

#

I'll look into it, thanks

glad shoal
#

If you need help getting it set up, send me a PM or something :>

faint tapir
#

👍

tawdry scarab
#

Any MM hunters?

thorny cedar
#

...

idle kite
#

?

lime raft
#

why does nobody ever talk about classic

#

😦

#

hopefully classic doesnt require people to buy anything extra considering they already bought vanillla

grizzled juniper
#

private server

lime raft
#

what about them

maiden river
#

now people don't have to buy base game

#

you think they'd use that as an excuse for selling vanilla again?

lime raft
#

then they better just add vanilla wow onto ur regular sub

#

😠

woven rock
#

Its not gonna be a separate game

#

They specifically said a private server option

#

Which means it gonna be part of retail

#

You just have to join a server that has the classic tag or whatever

lime raft
#

thats awesome

idle obsidian
#

Hey does anyone know of ProjectSixty servers in Argent-Dawn EU or any other server for that matter?

visual summit
#

project sixty and other projects of expansions are pretty much dead since streamers dont make them anymore as of now

idle obsidian
#

aw really

#

Guess i gotta wait till classic then :CCC

lime raft
#

what is projectsixty

visual summit
#

It was a project on wow where the rules were that you could not equip heirloom gear, use dungeon finder, not use normal mounts until level 40, and only use fast mounts at 60. it was like a challenge where it was like vanilla

#

they also did project 70 and 80

grizzled juniper
#

Which was a mess of time tbh

#

Back then leveling was fast af, and I'm referring to when they thought to do the p60

quiet pine
#

it was a pretty pointless thing

fiery pumice
#

We did one after scaling and it was pretty fun woke it lasted

jaunty gulch
#

If you already have 50 characters on your account; will you be able to make new characters on a classic realm?

grizzled juniper
#

There is no such thing as classic tag

#

The games will be separated

maiden river
#

!ghelp

silk tiger
#

E

cerulean briar
#

i can't wait for classic launch

lime raft
#

your gonna be waiting a looong time

cerulean briar
#

2020 at the max

strong olive
#

doubt it

#

Probably 2019

cerulean briar
#

Yeah 15th anniversary makes more sense

maiden river
#

???????

#

Why would they launch classic in 2019

grizzled juniper
#

15th anniversary

lime raft
#

would make more sense for it to be on the 20th anniversary

proud canyon
#

that's way too far away

#

2019 is reasonable

cerulean briar
#

I want Cata and MoP servers also happy \

rugged obsidian
#

Legion classic when

cerulean briar
#

No i'm serious

#

For PvP purposes 🙂

maiden river
#

Cata rogues

solemn brook
#

[slayer] If they could not prepare it by the 20th anniversary I would highly doubt their ability to smoothly maintain both editions (live and classic) side by side

#

In 6 years, surely many more engine updates and improvements would occur, and I would think if they take much longer than a year to patch classic with the current engine stuff then it wouldn't bode well for future updates.

lime raft
#

what does that have to do with what i said

cerulean briar
#

20th anniversary lol

#

might as well be 30th anniversary

jolly gazelle
#

when is the launch of classic supposed to occur?

cerulean briar
#

Nobody knows

tiny nymph
#

??/??/????

jolly gazelle
#

excellent thats what i thought as well... thank you

stable sequoia
#

Soon™

jolly gazelle
#

@stable sequoia Mind blown! 😉

safe holly
#

Is there a way to macro removing a specific buff, i.e. the weaponmaster buff for warrior?

hexed crown
#

@safe holly Something like /cancelaura Weaponmaster would work

maiden river
#

Question about Classic once your maxed out on everything can you transfer characters over to Non-Classic Servers?

visual summit
#

nope

cerulean briar
#

Of course not

steep pewter
#

Nobody knows

cerulean briar
#

I mean yeah but idk why blizzard would do something like that

steep pewter
#

Because it wil cost money and its what they are after

cerulean briar
#

You right, you right.

tiny kernel
#

Making a 60lvl char in like few months and transferung it to non-classic serv where you can make it in a week with spending just few hours per day...

#

Why would anybody want that?

steep pewter
#

Because eventually you will hit a wall of no having anything to do on said character but want to still play and progress further more

tiny kernel
#

Would be nice of blizz to expand these vanilla servers to tbc in like 2-3 yesrs just as it works on current servers with new expansions

#

If they won’t do that then yesh maybe transfering isn’t that bad idea

grizzled juniper
#

progress

#

defeats the purpose of classic wow

wanton cape
#

I think the easy answer is to just have season type things. Where there are yearly server resets or something like that

#

like Diablo seasons

tiny kernel
#

Damn, I would accept that on modern servers where you can exp you char with no time

#

But on vanilla? When you’re literally dying trying to get another level after 40+?

#

No way

#

Anything happens with my char on vanilla and I will commit sudoku

wanton cape
#

I mean they could do same as Diablo and just move the characters to a non-season/legacy server when the season reset happens

#

There's no way people don't stop playing classic when beating whatever raid tier they end on

#

and it allows them to keep adding more content to 'classic' and charging people more. hell if enough people play classic they could have vanilla/tbc/wotlk 'seasons'

trim girder
#

I'm not interested in my classic toon being forced to progress to BC again, that would literally make me not wanna play classic

#

They can open seperate bc servers

woven rock
#

the thing about classic

#

is that the item id numbers for most gear isnt in retail wow

#

so the moment you transfered over your character, it'd work one of two ways

#

either you have question marks for gear

#

or your account suddenly becomes worth a couple hundred bucks

grizzled juniper
#

I have a question about classic

#

Is it supposed to look with over saturation of colors?

woven rock
#

yeah

#

the amount of pixels used were a whole 30

#

so to make stuff look nicer, they increased the saturation of color

cerulean briar
#

It would be so amazing if they progressed into future expansions like TBC and so on

woven rock
#

oh

#

they definately will

#

but it'll be multiple servers

cerulean briar
#

Yeah

#

100%

spark reef
#

I know this sounds obvious but

#

If the Classic Server really is coming back

#

Does that mean we can do Old Naxxramas?

#

Along with the Linken Questline?

grizzled juniper
#

Yrp

cerulean briar
#

of course

#

plus they already confirmed it in the dev watercooler back in mid June

#

Confirmed classic is coming, that is.

spark reef
#

Nice

#

I miss the Classic Wow

#

The use of Quivers and Pouches along with Weapon Training as well

cerulean briar
#

It was the best

spark reef
#

Yeah

#

Also the first time i ever played hunter

grizzled juniper
#

gameplay

#

like you normal wow vanilla private server

#

They shouldn¡'t change anything

#

I hope not

#

The point of classic is to have the "classic" feel

#

I don't get why people want progression

#

It is supposed to be only classic wow

#

Like

#

You want leegacy vanilla servers

#

but you want them to progress?

#

🤔

#

There is something wrong with the people

#

nah

#

that's too much

spark reef
#

Yeaa

cerulean briar
#

Seperate servers is ideal

#

once blizzard sees the success of classic they will have no choice but to make other expansions

spark reef
#

Yeah

#

Well

#

Just up till TBC

#

I think

#

Since The Lich King Expansion removes the Old Naxramas

cerulean briar
#

They need to do it up to MoP AT least

#

Blizzard said it doesn't matter if there's like 1000 or 10 people playing on classic servers, as long as people play them they will exist

#

I started in WoD and so did many other people so i'd be happy to experience an expansion that i didn't play in at all

spark reef
#

I started playing it on Vanilla

#

My First Character is Tauren and class is Warrior

cerulean briar
#

Nice 🙂

#

I wish i started playing in vanilla but i'm too young xd

spark reef
#

I was like 7 or 6 when my dad showed this to me

cerulean briar
#

I was 2 when vanilla wow dropped @maiden river

#

I just turned 16 in June

stray hull
#

I wonder when they're releasing Classic Servers

#

And i'm with @cerulean briar I was way too young when they first launched wow

#

I wanna live trough the Classic experience myself too

weak gyro
#

Maybe after 8.0?

blissful ginkgo
#

Classic coming after 8.0 is impossible

stray hull
#

Yeah i feel the same way

#

Buuut

#

If they dedicate an own team for classic

#

Then it might be possible, but still not likely

#

I'd say it's coming out in the next year from now

rancid yarrow
#

Blizzard will surely use Classic as way to decrease drought between expansions/raise more attention to franchise and company - so somewhere after last BfA raid/between long raids so around 2 years from now

stray hull
#

I've been thinking for years that why doesn't blizzard just make their own Classic wow server.. It would decrease private server use by a bunch and they'd easily get at least a million players back to playing and paying for them

cinder light
#

classic will probably release next year

maiden river
#

There will definitely be news about Classic at Blizzcon this year.

#

Maybe the alpha will release.

blissful ginkgo
#

An alpha version of 1.12.... That sounds interesting

fiery goblet
#

i would find it neat if they made say something similar to servers where once a character got to 60 it would sever change to say a combined server of vanilla and bc and so on and so forth . i mean i am so excited to experiance vanilla all over againe no matter how supposidly crappy it was.

oblique folio
#

I implore you to level as a warrior

maiden river
#

Actually go monk

cerulean briar
#

Vanilla DK's were so OP

grizzled juniper
#

Oh ye

#

They required 40 men to be killed

bright root
#

Dont forget 4 tanks needed :D

maiden river
#

Wtb Shaman tanks

#

that would be 8 @bright root

bright root
#

Oh, damn Horsemans :D sry, i never been in old Naxx

spark reef
#

Me too

#

I heard they have some tasty loot

maiden river
#

Corrupted ashbringer

#

Nets you a scene in the scarlet crusade area

copper idol
#

Hey never played Vanilla but I really want to play it when it comes out, I know I will sound nooby but what were the main differences between today and vanilla apart the new content?

tired stone
#

Just about everything, honestly. So many differences it hard to know where to start explaining it.

#

I guess the most noticeable difference is leveling. Leveling takes a lot longer, quests take longer, mobs are harder to kill, and drop chances of quest items are much lower

maiden river
#

Leveling is longer. No more specs. Talent tree.

#

You have to hold quest items in bags

#

That's about it lol

tired stone
#

also, there were not enough quests in each zone to level you to the appropriate level for the next zone, so mob grinding was most definitely a thing

#

ammo was a thing as well

#

and there was better ammo that you could make or buy that dealt more damage

#

traveling was harder as well, because you didnt get your first mount until level 40, and you didnt get a faster mount until max level

#

there was no quest tracker built into the game, so you had to read, and reread quest text to know what to do and where to go

#

of course, other than flight paths, flying was not a thing on Azeroth (until Cata)

cerulean briar
#

You had to farm out the gold for your epic mount because there is no way to earn it casualy

tired stone
#

^

#

you had to train all your abilities at the class trainers, and those cost money

cerulean briar
#

And also, as a healer, using your max level abilities is not recommended at all because of how much mana they used. Because of this, healers used lower ranked heals

tired stone
#

This was true for some dps as well

copper idol
#

Hmm why did they remove the ammo feature tho? That sounds like a fun and immersive feature that could add more to the game.

cerulean briar
#

Because blizzard wants a wider audience and more money

tired stone
#

Also, almost all of your spells had Ranks, and you could buy higher ranks of your spells at higher levels.

#

So basically, its soooo different

#

so very very different

copper idol
#

Yeah I understand all the show about it now lol. To be honest it sounds really fun and I like the idea of buying spells and not just MAGICALLY GET THEM

#

Getting*

maiden river
#

They removed ammo because of how annoying it was. Ther was a reason everyone went for the bow that made it's own arrows.

#

How frustrating it can be running out of arrows in a raid instance

tired stone
#

yeah, it was annoying, being in the middle of a quest zone and running out of arrows, even though you just bought like 500 and bam, you have to stop and go back to the vendors to get more

maiden river
#

Was there a bow that did that before BC?

#

No

#

I was referring to the sunwell plateau

#

Yeah, was kinda curios

copper idol
#

Well I get that but at least maybe an upgrade feature to your arrows/ammo could be fun or like change the effect it does. Like some poisons but less damage but okay.

maiden river
#

But classic WoW was more on the side of "simulating a classic roleplaying experience" while modern WoW is much more streamlined

#

You mean a rogue?

#

Not you eleg

#

There was even some tactical optimization with lower rank spells

#

Yeah...classic at launch is gonna be cleared within the week of its release lol

copper idol
#

Sure rogues can do that but could be nice if hunters could do something like that too.

maiden river
#

Depending on if naxx is out at the start

tired stone
#

lol thats because the meta is all figured out already

maiden river
#

Class specialties my man

#

Don't think it will, even if naxx is out.

#

No...what I meant was it wont if naxx is out

#

I would guess it takes around...4 raid-lockouts tp amass enough gear to clear the equipment checks in early naxx

#

If it's just molten core itll be cleared in a week

#

Ah, that way

#

Yeah, probably

#

Although i'm not quite sure when they nerfed MC. But it was for 1.12 i think

#

*befor

#

It's the 1.12 patch anyway

#

Yeah.

#

I just thought that some parts of MC prenerf required a fuckton of fire resist gear.

#

It does anyway

copper idol
#

Isnt Naxx at WOTLK expansion??

maiden river
#

...

copper idol
#

Again sorry Im nooby.

maiden river
#

You're not wrong

#

Naxx was a classic raid

#

Have you not heard of 8 warrior tank

#

the last one

#

And it was moved to northrend as the entry tier raid when WotLK came out

#

Because so few had seen the original

#

It's kinda funny that the numbers were hardly changed from classic to Wrath

#

(and, as evil people whisper, because blizz liked the idea of reusing a full raid tier of assets)

copper idol
#

Oh well good to know, I used to think C'thun was the last raid boss

maiden river
#

Yeah, kel'thuzad was the original endboss of WoW.

#

Yep. And atiesh was the ultimate goal

#

I think he also is to this day the endboss that was slain by the fewest percentage of players before the next expansion hit

copper idol
#

He returns because he is a Lich right? or did he do some escape thing?

maiden river
#

Hes a lich

#

The quest regarding his phylactery was removed

#

So it would pave the way for his return

#

Yeah, you could loot his "phylactery" after he was defeated. Instead of his head. And then you gave it to a shifty guy for a reward^^

copper idol
#

Shifty guy huh? I think I get what happened lol

maiden river
#

Wasnt thr quest removed?

#

It was with WotLK

#

Aight

#

Through Classic and BC it was there

#

the turn in text was even something like "shouldn't you be more responsible with something like this? Nah...who cares?"

copper idol
#

Oh my god.

maiden river
#

Just imagine

#

Your character got through fighting an old god

#

And is still retarded enough to give a phylactery some random guy

#

"The phylactery is all that remains of the master of Naxxramas. Your better judgment dictates that you destroy the phylactery, preventing the lich from ever reforming. Thankfully, you seldom listen to that internal voice of reason.

Someone at Light's Hope will pay you hugely for this artifact. Who cares if Kel'Thuzad regenerates to full power?" <- here, exact quote

copper idol
#

@maiden river YEAH

#

Thats an exact quote.

maiden river
#

Retarded. Af

#

yeah, it's the quest text from that time^^

copper idol
#

Was all quests that derpy?

maiden river
#

No

#

nope

copper idol
#

I guess someone at blizzard got tired and just rolled with that being the way of returning Kel

maiden river
#

We will never know

#

I think it was more of a "cheap" way to have him come back

#

like, he least amount of work required

#

Nah it's pretty believable that at that point

#

Our character was greedy

#

Still is greedu

#

I'd give a phylactery to someone for 5 million gold

copper idol
#

Wait why did Kel even kept his Phylactery, couldnt he hide it somewhere?

maiden river
#

Hes strong dude

#

He didnt think hed need to hide it

#

Well, he was at the center of the preeminent frotress of the scourge at that time

#

That too

#

no safer place anywhere

copper idol
#

I guess he underestimated the horde and alliance at that time

#

Oh yea

maiden river
#

Can you blame him

tired stone
#

hiding your phylactery is Lichdom 101

maiden river
#

Alliance was being fucked by onyxia

copper idol
#

?

maiden river
#

Horde was dealing with blackrock

copper idol
#

What did Onyxia do to the alliance?

maiden river
#

Hoooooo boy

grizzled juniper
#

Lots of shit

maiden river
#

A lot of shit

#

she was basically undercover

#

You know the defias

#

as a human women

copper idol
#

oh god I love how you both said that

maiden river
#

Shes the cause

#

and being one of the most important advisers to Anduin

grizzled juniper
#

She is the indirect reason of why Tiffin died

maiden river
#

Tiffin?

#

Varians wife

grizzled juniper
#

Varian's waifu

maiden river
#

Ou her yeah

#

I dont remember her name at all

copper idol
#

So there was a dragon hiding as a human in the most guarded and highest area in Stormwind and as an advisor.

maiden river
#

Yep

copper idol
#

Fun

maiden river
#

You can see her there

#

Before the raid was released

grizzled juniper
#

And she kidnapped him in the end

copper idol
#

wait how was anduin king there too?

maiden river
#

Mistake of the fuckin century lol

copper idol
#

wasnt he just a child?

maiden river
#

Varian was missing

#

He was

grizzled juniper
#

He tech was king

#

But all the power was in Bolvar

maiden river
#

Bolivar was king

#

Sort of

#

Its politics bleh

#

Bolvar was Regent

copper idol
#

Well at least I know who Bolvar was lol

maiden river
#

Like Lor'themar for kael'thas

#

Lorthemar is cool

#

And no one can tell me otherwise

grizzled juniper
#

Otherwise

copper idol
#

burned.

maiden river
#

Bolvar was kinda burned, yeah

copper idol
#

brb imma go die

maiden river
#

but that's later

grizzled juniper
#

Varian and Varian

copper idol
#

Oooooh yes I really really wanted to ask about that

#

Why was there something like 2 varians??

maiden river
#

But there was a really cool questchain (for classic standards) where you freed a prisoner form blackrock that could unmask Onyxia.

grizzled juniper
#

Onyxia did some magic and split Varian in 2 personalities

maiden river
#

And she turned into her huge Dragon form in the throne room of stormwind. And all the guards became dragonkin, too.

copper idol
#

That sounds totally not dangerous

maiden river
#

(And if you dind't run away fats enough they would cleave you into bits before Bolvas - raidboss that he was at the time - could kill them

grizzled juniper
#

One was the fierce warrior and the other was a pansy she could control, the fierce warrior was sold to a slave master and he fought as a gladiator

maiden river
#

The VCarian stuff is all in the comics, not in the game

copper idol
#

Oh

grizzled juniper
#

Das when he met Broll Bearmantle and Valeera

#

It isnt canon anymore?

maiden river
#

Like, many people were pretty confused who Varian even was when WotLk started and they brought him into the game

copper idol
#

Now thats when people will laugh at me when the only reason I know about Valeera is hearthstone.

maiden river
#

Well, it is Canon. Just wasn#t in the game

grizzled juniper
#

Ah

#

That's my fave comic tbh

#

When he teases Valeera of being a child

maiden river
#

like the shorts are canon from the BfA release. But they are not in the game (except for Sylvannas one)

grizzled juniper
#

Due how fierce he was, the orcs called him Lo'gosh

copper idol
#

okay I should head to read this comics before I learn more about all this

#

these*

maiden river
#

Best way to learn the lore is read chronicles

grizzled juniper
#

Ye

maiden river
#

Like, they have all the important stuff, sorted in one place

Isnt there like 3 or 4 chronicles so far?

grizzled juniper
#

3

maiden river
#

But just as a last thought on OG naxxramas. It was fucking overtuned

#

Like, they didn't have as many ideas for difficulty-enhancing mechanics back then

#

So they upped the raw numbers

#

And the gear progression was nowhere near as powerful as in legion for example

cerulean briar
#

C'thun was more overtuned

maiden river
#

Well, C'thun was a buggy mess and clearly not playtested

cerulean briar
#

It was just overtuned

#

Too high of a level for raids to kill

maiden river
#

Well, it's been a long time, but I am quite sure there was some fuckery with the eye beam jump distance calculations

cerulean briar
#

around 80 days before a down

maiden river
#

And going in the stomach and coming out.

#

But I wasn't in our main raiding team, so maybe I missremember

oblique folio
#

C'thun was both overtuned and nearly unkillable. AQ40 couldn't be completed because the worm boss would bug out and never rise out

maiden river
#

that boss wasn't required

oblique folio
#

To clear the raid?

#

yes it was

maiden river
#

to beat c'thun

#

it was an optional boss like visidicus

#

vicidicus? Whatever, that retarded boss

maiden river
#

You mean "what, there is a faction without frostshock? to bad"-slimeboy

grizzled juniper
#

How did you do slimeboi

#

If you didnt have frost mages and you were alliance

oblique folio
#

Beating C'thun doesn't mean you cleared AQ

#

AQ was unclearable until the worm was fixed and would actually spawn

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

cerulean briar
#

That worm was optional

#

everybody skipped it

#

Ouro wasn't killed until 86 days later

oblique folio
#

It was skipped cuz they couldn't get him to spawn LOL

cerulean briar
#

Ya good thing now is better we don't have that problem anymore xd

oblique folio
#

IMO removal of those bugs would make it not classic

cerulean briar
#

yeah

maiden river
#

uh...

seriously?

what happened with mankrik's wife?

cerulean briar
#

she died in a quilboar attack

oblique folio
#

she also couldn't be found

#

cuz she wasn't marked properly on the map

cerulean briar
#

She wasent marked at all

#

Like all other things in vanilla xddd

rotund bronze
#

fff

woven rock
#

marks?

#

on the map?

#

HAHAHAHAA

#

the only things that were marked on the map is little yellow dots that showed the npc's to turn in

#

actually doing the quests took a good amount of creativity

bright root
#

In past maybe.. But now? When comunity know every pixel, koeficient, npc tracking.. Meh

maiden river
#

and questie

cerulean briar
#

Questie is amazing for vanilla

maiden river
#

aye

#

but i heard some people denounce those that use it lol

cerulean briar
#

That's funny

grizzled juniper
#

Imagine if they were to release classic on the first patch ever

maiden river
#

that would be horrible

grizzled juniper
#

considering it had nothing

spark reef
#

Oh god

#

Theres Nothing

#

But i would imagine if they release the classic before they patch the Corrupted Blood epidemic

cerulean briar
#

Don't worry they already said they would release it on 1.12 in the dev water cooler back in mid june

spark reef
#

Okay

#

imagines the Corrupted Blood epidemic becomes an event for hallow's eve

maiden river
#

is private server talk allowed in here

vernal kettle
#

No, no private server discussion on any of Wowhead's owned/operated properties.

undone sphinx
#

you can talk about almost anything else tho, as long as it doesnt break wow's TOS or this groups rules

tired atlas
#

I mean i can sorta get (not really) the no talking about peivate servers, but at the rate blizzard are dealing with classic. Is it really going to happen? Its been a year since they announced it. And the private servers basically came out overnight. So whats the point of having this channel if they arent doing it? I get they need separate team and jazz, and implementing it inti their launcher, but if they said the werent making any changes, they why the hell isnt it out now?

#

This isnt me talking about whats not allowed this is me talking about the what ifs, personally i played enough of vanilla wow and looking towards the future, but this current blizzard isnt the blizzard i remember so im just stating my doubts

solemn brook
#

blizzard's doing it.

#

and I can assure you no private server came out "overnight"

radiant mountain
#

It to took years of pain and law suit avoidance

maiden river
#

Tfw people still think they can just get an old copy from a flash drive and put it up for people to play

cerulean briar
#

@tired atlas Blizzard already confirmed in the mid June Dev watercooler that patch 1.12 will be their foundation

#

It amazes me that some people still don't know that classic has been confirmed for 2 months now

proud fog
#

Wrong chat

cerulean briar
#

That's still a sexy worgen

bright root
#

Dogs arent sexy

maiden river
#

god knows how much that hardware costed back then

tired atlas
#

@cerulean briar its been supposedly "confirmed" for over a year since blizzcon

#

Like i saidni have doubts ill give it 30% chance they go through with it by 2021

cerulean briar
#

Well what about the Dev watercooler back in mid June? That's pretty much confirmation plus blizz looking for jobs on their website for classic @tired atlas

maiden river
#

Did anyone remember the original High Elf model before it was Blood Elf Thalassian back in vanilla?

grizzled juniper
#

the modified night elf ?

maiden river
#

Yea something like that.

cerulean briar
#

npc that teleported you to molten core was a high elf

left carbon
#

if i recall blood elves only started to exist in TBC expansion, they existed in Warcraft 3 campaigns tho

woeful moss
#

You are correct

left carbon
#

I know that because i played a crap ton of Warcraft 3 and its expansion 😄

maiden river
#

@left carbon Yea that is true through during the TBC Expansion. But what about some of them during the very start of wow? Only Blood Elves i saw were the blood mages in Basted lands.

cerulean briar
#

There was at least one blood elf in vanilla because the NPC to start the attunement quest was the same NPC that teleported you to the MC entrance when you were done with the attunement quest

#

He was also a blood elf

left carbon
#

@maiden river Those were diferent models if i remember correctly

#

@cerulean briar I think that one was a Night Elf not a Blood Elf

cerulean briar
#

Yeah it was a night elf with light skin and green eyes

#

the blood elf skeleton was added in BC

#

It was a new model compared to the reskinned night elf

left carbon
#

oh ok

maiden river
#

Thered also a blood elf in stonetalon

#

For horde. Quest was to tell you to kill sons and daughters of cenarius

maiden river
#

anyone gimme wow classic download link and please not torrent file

oblique folio
#

WoW classic isn't out yet

grizzled juniper
#

He wants the client

oblique folio
#

Which isn't out. The only ones out are torrents.

grizzled juniper
#

There are direct downloads

#

For 1.12, which is the most used

left carbon
#

@maiden river If you visit any WoW Classic server(private ones ofc) they have client downloads there

#

If you want the real deal you have to wait like everyone else

#

for Blizzard to release their "classic" version of nowadays of what Classic WoW was once many years ago

maiden river
#

@left carbon when blizzard releases?

#

and thank you

left carbon
#

@maiden river They don't say when, they only say what they say every year about all games they have, the famous word "soon" 😄

#

so that can be at the last quarter of this year or next year, who knows, only person who knows right now is someone working on Classic

#

From blizzard company

#

That is a prediction poll, that's not anything official from Blizzard

Lol spring of 2018.... 😂 that poll is wack.... should be 2019 or 2020

i believe "never, i think they'll be feeding us just enough info to keep us satisfied while it goes the way of HL3

oblique folio

but hl3 didn't have people hired into it.

cerulean briar

But they already confirmed it back in the June dev watercooler

maiden river

Ppl dont want it to come out cause then they cant complain about that specific thing

Nice troll

cobalt rampart

I'm not trolling.

I seriously think they will come up with a valid reason not to do it

#

Blizzard isn't like that.

#

ah fuck... actually....

#

Starcraft: Ghost, Warcraft: Lord of the Clans

#

It happened before.

oblique folio
#

@cobalt rampart They would have to fire the wow team they hired specifically for it. 🤔

#

that's why I think you're trolling

cerulean briar

Yeah you're right

well tbh

if lords of clans would had been released

Such is the hypocresy

I'm sorry I want something to be improved lol

What I meant by quest items are those items you pick up in the world for quests. Like that lockbox early on as an orc/troll. 5 min respawn

It wouldnt be classic if it is improved

I have never played Classic WoW but it looks like fun

mental harness

I hope the level cap in classic is 120 happy

tepid glacier
#

i hope theyll fix everything, change graphics, add achievement, pets, group finder and flying mount at level 60

#

it would make classic wow a lot better

#

also, reducing ennemy's hp would be nice

grizzled juniper
#

Thats not

#

WoW Classic

tepid glacier
#

yes it will

#

because they call it wow classic

grizzled juniper
#

No

#

If they want to remake wow vanilla

#

They better redo it from scratch and call it wow 2

tepid glacier
#

for me it would be better

#

A LOT BETTER THAN WOW VANILLA

grizzled juniper
#

...The point is

#

1:1 Vanilla

#

That is

#

The point

#

Make it compatible with the current systems

#

probably give it widescreen support

#

But

#

All the bugs and what made Vanilla wow Vanilla

#

must remain

#

If they change a bit...

tepid glacier
#

you mean the bugs that maded the game unplayable ?

grizzled juniper
#

And those bugs

#

Are what made vanilla a cult game

#

The core client will be 1.12

tepid glacier
#

yes but if they throw the game without changes, less people will play it. less people play it = less money

grizzled juniper
#

...People

#

Want the game

#

As it was before

tepid glacier
#

...Blizzatd

#

want money

#

not sarisfaction from people

#

:)

cerulean briar

Blizzard will probably add QoL's in classic because that will attract a wider audience because blizzards main goal is money

Just dumb.. IF Blizzurd change smth, less ppl who cryin "give us legacy servers"will play it

cobalt rampart
#

@oblique folio no they wouldn't, they'd redistribute them, like they did with Titan. They sent some of the team back to WoW, and the rest to overwatch.

oblique folio
#

they also turned titan into overwatch. What would they do with Classic WoW being as complete as it is now? Turn it into WoW 2?

cobalt rampart
#

i have no clue, but until significant progress is made towards it, ill be more towards "ill believe it when i see it". last i read, correct me if im wrong, a couple months ago, they had found a build that they were able to start updating

#

here we go: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21881587/dev-watercooler-world-of-warcraft-classic

trust me, i want it as much as everyone else, but at the same time, look at how much the community argued over small pedantic stuff, new models vs old models, group finder vs no, b.net integration, etc. some people want it exactly like it was back in 04-06, but unfortunately it wont be, simply because times change when it comes to hardware and compatibility with old systems. guaranteed on release half of the people interested in it will be bitching "this isnt classic wow, rabblerabblerabble."

#

if it comes out, awesome, if not, ill be a little disappointed. ive learned throughout my life not to get overly excited about unreleased stuff, especially video games. (DAMN YOU NO MANS SKY!)

gloomy gate
#

You either are old or really sage

oblique folio
#

Literally. They confirmed what they wanted to do, what patch they were doing, and that they were not changing around the gameplay itself but will be integrating things like battle.net functionality. Which is literally what they did with Starcraft Remastered, why doubt Blizzard when they have examples of them legitimately being faithful? Because some two bit developers with massive ambitious goals with no proof that they could pull it off didn't do it?

hexed finch
#

Sean Murray is a madman

#

he hyped it up through the ceiling

#

and then the actual game came out

#

Star citizen's case is even worse

oblique folio
#

Like I could understand if it was a company not Blizzard doing Classic, I could understand the hesitation to place any form of trust into that. Too many times have small developers tried big goals and failed on delivering every single time, but this is Blizzard entertainment. They've shown that yes, they can do faithful recreations and simply tacking on of certain systems without changing the game itself.

See WC3, Starcraft, Starcraft remastered.

I see no reason to not trust them on this.

cobalt rampart
#

@gloomy gate im 32 so i may be considered old to some

#

@oblique folio SC Ghost. Warcraft Adventures.

grizzled juniper
#

Warcraft Adventures had a reason to be canceled

cobalt rampart
#

i know, but i was really looking forward to it, I WAS YOUNG AND IMPRESSIONABLE DAMN IT!

#

oh and the best example of all. dance studios triggered

grizzled juniper
#

I mean Vris, you know how people want Vanilla to not be Vanilla and instead to be a new WoW at this rate

cobalt rampart
#

i cant remember what magazine it was that i read about it, i want to say it was EGM, but i was so excited

hexed finch
#

yeah,all the "i dont like current wow" elitist,are so fervent that classic will become the new wow and kill off the current wow in some show of extreme voodoo

grizzled juniper
#

Even if new wow is really better than vanilla

cobalt rampart
#

if it releases within the next 5 years ill be pleasantly surprised and i will eat my words (literally, i will print this conversation out and eat it, no bamboozle)

oblique folio
#

But it was also terrible

hexed finch
#

the rosetint goggles are too strong,because remember that most people(not all) that played vanilla,were not adults

cobalt rampart
#

id say a large majority of the people that want classic havent played it on anything other than private servers

oblique folio
#

Like Warcraft adventures was really a terrible game.

cobalt rampart
#

that 30-50 grind gives me the shivers when i think about it

grizzled juniper
#

Well

oblique folio
#

Granted that certain servers like Nost kept it as vanilla as they could without the actual source code

grizzled juniper
#

They are going to play Vanilla out of curiosity

#

I did play vanilla out of curiosity

cobalt rampart
#

then they will realize how hard it was compared to todays wow, then quit

grizzled juniper
#

After the evolved gameplay I couldnt really pass over the 20 levels

cobalt rampart
#

i mean are most people really prepared to hoof it without a mount till 40

grizzled juniper
#

Most of vanilla skills were limited to autoattacks only

hexed finch
#

vanilla's content was basically 90% the leveling,and 10% the actual endgame max lvl stuff

grizzled juniper
#

That until the first dungeons tho

grizzled juniper
#

The first patches were empty

hexed finch
#

ah yea,you mean autoattack simulator for ret pallies in vanilla

cobalt rampart
#

rofl

#

dont forget about dancing pallies in MC

#

i cant believe that went on as long as it did

#

(for those that dont know, you used to be able to keep some healers out of range of raid bosses and they wouldnt get in combat, so if someone died mid fight you could rez them)

hexed finch
#

also 5% of that 10% that was the endgame,was hopelessly long and complex questlines,to get some vital item to the class,or to even enter the place

grizzled juniper
#

And part grinding

oblique folio
#

Legit tho, a lot of players I see begging for Vanilla want only the "good parts" of it and to remove the inconveniences. Which make me laugh.

hexed finch
#

and with a majority of casuals nowadays(probably cause of lfr or whatever) if they put in one single questline like the scepter of shifting sands from vanilla

#

would explode in salt on the forums

oblique folio
#

Don't forget Dafire, there wasn't enough quests to actually hit 60 as well. Often times you had to grind out the last level or 2 to hit 60.

hexed finch
#

and quit altogether

cobalt rampart
#

i want it just as unbearingly painful as it was back in the day with no QoL changes except for MAYBE b.net friend chat (no grouping through b.net)

#

@hexed finch the horde onyxia attunement wants to talk with you

oblique folio
#

Most likely they'll just have it like they do with Starcraft. Where it just shows you're there in game and could chat over battle.net

#

since that also ya know

#

helps in preventing cheaters

#

and exploiters

#

it's kinda needed

cobalt rampart
#

those hour long hunts for rexxar in desolace were a pain in the ass

hexed finch
#

i was a little boi and started in tbc,but my brother should have done the horde onyxia attunement

cobalt rampart
#

i started a week after launch, the game came out 6 months after i graduated high school, so wow has been the game i have logged the most hours in (close second is link to the past, which i replay each year)

hexed finch
#

it's probably my most played game too,with warframe as second

cobalt rampart
#

i tried to get into warframe, it ran like crap on my pc, then i tried it on ps4 and it was kinda boring for me

#

only mmo that has pulled me in somewhat close to wow is tera, and that was only after the removed the "asian mmo grindfest" aspect from it last year

oblique folio
#

Oh I love warframe! though I will admit, and Digital Extremes admits the same thing, it doesn't have much of a tutorial.

cobalt rampart
#

yeah, the controls at first had a steep learning curve (on ps4)

hexed finch
#

basically it overwhelms you with the power of constant updates if you're a new player

cobalt rampart
#

but with the freebies you get as a ps plus and twitch prime subscriber, you're too OP and it gets boring fast, at least in my opinion

oblique folio
#

Also the fact that so very little is actually explained nad the rest you have to wiki or find out yourself. Which often leads to wasting time or resources.

hexed finch
#

it doesnt have much of a learning curve like wow does with its leveling,if you were to compare it,it's like logging in and being lvl 120 straight off the bat

oblique folio
#

Nah Raev

#

As someone who's pumped a thousand hours into it

#

you're not OP

#

trust me on that

cobalt rampart
#

ive got around 10 hours into it, which admittedly isnt a lot on an mmo

oblique folio
#

The actual "end game" content and the story quests will kick your ass no matter the equipment you bring in.

hexed finch
#

10 hours murloc

oblique folio
#

If you don't prepare properly tha tis

#

that's what, all the way to venus?

cobalt rampart
#

i dont remember its been about a year since i played, i think they had just released the twitch prime loot when i picked it up on ps4

hexed finch
#

the gameplay is quite engaging with the hundreds on hundreds of firearms,pistols and melee weapons

oblique folio
#

And they're all of different types as well!

hexed finch
#

also,you can get into fashion frame too

oblique folio
#

From submachine guns, to beam weapons, to BFG, to shotgun

#

across both sidearms and main weapons

cobalt rampart
#

i wish they'd make a unreal tournament MMO

oblique folio
#

and the different melee weapons from staves, to katanas, to greatswords, to longswords, machetes and even whips.

#

There's a lot of flexible gameplay.

#

Also their currency market is a market every game should adopt IMO

cobalt rampart
#

i love how the tera AH works you can post something, and if you see something you want to buy, you can haggle the price with the seller

#

live

oblique folio
#

for Warframe, platinum can be traded between players.

hexed finch
#

ONLY cosmetic things are with premium currency,and you can earn that currency ingame by trading with other players

oblique folio
#

Which is their real money bought currency.

#

Yup. You can actually buy from the platinum market without spending a dime on the game.

hexed finch
#

on top of that

#

they make updates constantly

#

so if you've been gone for a year

#

prepare for culture shock

#

@cobalt rampart it is often said,that warframe really quickly overwhelms new players if they dont have a guide nearby,so if you want to give warframe a shot,i can set aside some of my "wow farming" time,to help you get into it <-<

cobalt rampart
#

oh, im too busy to dedicate time to more than wow, lol, i barely get to play my ps4 anymore, im a single dad now all my free time is spent with my son

oblique folio
#

it does which DE does state multiple times that they do want to make a better tutorial for the game, but they're currently reworking how melee combat works to make it to where guns aren't overshadowed by them.

cobalt rampart
#

only times i get to play wow now are when my sons at school and after i put him to bed

hexed finch
#

SINGLE DAD LIFE cue heavy metal music overlayed on top of really boring footage

cobalt rampart
#

basically lol

#

hes 5, the staff at chuck e cheese know us by name now -_-

#

cant wait till hes 8 and can ride go-karts, we're gonna have so much fun

grizzled juniper
#

I want to know somethings about mobs

#

Why do they attack critters randomly?

hexed finch
#

because they have to be more realistic

oblique folio
#

that's just something blizz put in for some flavor of the world

grizzled juniper
#

I find it funny

#

Mostly at low levels

#

When you are innocent and you see a wolf rushing to kill a rabbit

gilded token
#

I would love all of the updates in a wow vanilla server. As more of an aside, just take the current build system and reset the timeline. Make some zero hour servers, that would be great. Greater. No vanilla butthurt then!

I like what they did to StatCraft remastered and I'd be happy to see something similar for WoW Classic. The old gameplay with all the bugs and imbalance but improved graphics and infrastructure.

exactly xD

even if I'm not a fan at all of Classic, I'm so curious

I really hope all the game breaking bugs are back in the game.

no changes

I also agree with Vris

grizzled juniper

It defeats the purpose of a classic wow

What people want is a remake of vanilla

If i wanted classic with changes then i can play project 60 in BFA

Wait you mean to tell me classic won't have heirlooms?!? Dungeon finder?!? Well I don't wanna play it then. How dare they make classic classic.

grizzled juniper

...so what people want is not classic

Is a fucking remaster

cerulean briar

well they're not getting one

sorry

Blizz will make classic classic and that's that ::)

grizzled juniper

Better let's have a w2-3 remaster than a wow one

I've heard to many people say they hope there is increased xp, spawn rates, and drop rates. Sooooo what you are saying is you want a private server . Sounds horrible

grizzled juniper

I cant tell if you are serious or not

mental harness
#

Maybe

Tbh classic will be overrated. I think all this people who now screams "only vanilla, best wow was core". It will be hard as hell and boring. Looking by everybody reaction to amount of farming in BfA.

grizzled juniper
#

It's going to be a mess of resources wasted in the end

#

Like

#

Only people that are really stubborn and dont want to acknowledge the mess vanilla was will play it

unkempt dune
#

Dunno, think most the hate against vanilla is people who never played it to know. Granted there are some who are all into that haven't done it that might not be able to take it

#

The only thing I'm really dreading is the lack of some QoL changes. It will be nice leveling and feel like I actually earn something compared to know where leveling is so stupidly painful mostly since you get nothing from a level

bright root
#

What some QoL.. #NOCHANGES
We dont wanna mass loot, RDF etc..

cerulean briar
#

QoL oh god no

oblique folio

I mean mass looting has been in the game for a while.

it just wasn't automatic

If spending like 3-4 months getting to max level was fun for ya, then sure. @mental harness Or not being able to play the game, or being able to log in, or not being able to move, or being sent to zones unrelated to the zone you wanted to go via boat, or if you wanted to PVP and weren't a rogue.

#

OH can't forget the thrilling and invigorating rotations of vanilla

#

mages spammed Frostbolt, no matter the spec, most specs werent' used for end game content, the very large gap of power between classes and specsof the same role.

#

Can't also forget the issue of mana being on everyone but rogues, warriors and feral druids. With pools so small, and regen so tight, that buffing a raid took upwards of 5-10 minutes.

#

Vanilla had a lot of issues that we just tend to ignore

#

Oh and ret paladins only would auto attack. Because mana had to be conserved for seals and judgement, and for buffs that ran out mid-combat.

cerulean briar
#

I wish classic would come out alreadyyy

mental harness
#

@oblique folio I guess everyone's experiences were different. I never had any issues in vanilla that bothered me. /Shrug. I'm looking for to it.

oblique folio
#

Oh my experiences had none of what I listed.

#

But I won't ignore they exist.

mental harness
#

I'm not saying they didn't exist. They just never bothered me. I enjoyed the grind of vanilla, but I came from Lineage 2. So grinding was normal.

oblique folio
#

Oh the grind isn't what I listed.

mental harness
#

Saying if you enjoy spending 3-4 months to get to max levek sounded like you were referring to the grind. I misinterpreted it

cerulean briar
#

fastest 60 in vanilla was 4 days /played

oblique folio
#

yes. As /played. Or four straight days of leveling.

mental harness
#

I know there is a guide that someone made that if you follow it 100% you can get 1-60 in 4-5days played time. I think they even made an ingame add-on for it. Acts as a quest add-on like questie.

#

I can't remember the name. I know they were a big name from vanilla to tbc

I actually like the auto attack ret pala play style....

I'm going to back the WoW diary at $40 so i can help out the production of the book and recieve a digital and hard copy for myself.

#

I figured i should learn all i can about the development of vanilla wow because it's very interesting

hexed finch
#

ye i already backed it myself,

#

need that vanilla info

cerulean briar
#

yeah lol

#

The more i learn about classic, the more hype i am for it!

tepid glacier
#

i bet my hand that when classic will be released, the price of the sub will be cheaper because people wont pay 2 sub at the same time

#

and blizzard would make less money

#

thats not what thay want

gloomy gate
#

It could be free! A gift for all or us! Yay

maiden river
#

Or just share the sub with the game

cerulean briar
#

or $10 like warcraft 3

#

And maybe another $10 for every Xpac they release will classic if they choose to

idle kite
#

same... got the wow diary book for 40$ as well.... but damn the shipping costs are crazy...31$ just for shipping... and prob another 8-10$ for import tax

#

but i need it :(... damn this wow addiction :))))))

#

need that wow vanilla fix... plus its a great insight into the game dev world. really enjoyed the scholomance short on wowhead(not sure if its actually an excerpt from the book or just a short essay for wowhead)... if the whole book is like that, def worth the money.

hexed finch
#

@idle kite just buy the digital one for 30$

#

pogchamp

#

no shipping costs

solemn brook
#

problem is the digital one cannot (due to license) have pictures

#

according to the kickstarter page

digital sluice
#

What are you talking about ?

"Be aware that eBook captions and body text cannot be independently sized. While the eBook version of The WoW Diary has the same images and text of the printed version, some layouts won't work (where the text and images are meant to be viewed together)."

@solemn brook

solemn brook
#

I guess I misread something

#

and it was possibly on the canceled page, but you're right in that it's not on the current page or any updates

idle kite
#

no point in buying the ebook... if i wanted an ebook i would have waited 2-5 days after release to download it for free from some site. i want the physical book.. that's the best way to read something that you know you will enjoy

#

its sad for the seller... but its the cold hard truth. any digital thing will be on the internet after release. that's why i dont buy ebooks... paperback or hardcover all the way.

bright root
#

Especialy when eBook will be DMR free

hexed finch
#

you mean DRM free

delicate lion
#

Probably dmr too, i don't remember many sniper rifles in vanilla

sweet quail
#

btw in vanilla

#

did the warior had 2x 2h weapons

#

or both dmg spec had only 1 2h

bright root
#

hahahaha 😄 arms 2h furry 2x1h

#

2x2h starts with wotlk and also it was last talent in furry tree

sweet quail
#

#

@sweet quail in Lich King, I assume you could get 2x 2h not in vanilla.

Fury equipted 2 1 handed weapons and Arms equipted 1 2 handed weapon

@maiden river ?

#

Did they announce it?

grizzled juniper
#

no

vocal agate
#

Is he just special then?

#

@grizzled juniper

grizzled juniper
#

I wouldn't say that

vocal agate
#

Fair enough, thank you for answering.

grizzled juniper
#

If there isn't an official news

#

Mouth shut

vocal agate
hexed finch
#

remember though

#

this guy hasnt worked at blizzard

#

for like 4 yrs

#

so while yes,he's a valid source

#

it's no confirmation of the timeframe

vocal agate
#

I cannot find any information which consists "2021"

grizzled juniper
#

Here is

#

The key word

#

believes that WoW Classic will release after 2021.

#

Believes

#

BELIEVES

vocal agate
#

There is not such words in this reddit thread.

#

Probably clickbait.

#

Found it, nevermind.

oblique folio
#

Spoke to soon he did

hollow junco
#

Man, My money is on 2020

solemn brook
#

I'm still thinking 2020 too

dreamy glen
#

wait are these classic servers or classic private servers? @.@

hexed finch
#

classic servers

cerulean briar
#

Private server talk is forbidden

grizzled juniper
#

Pri🅱ateserver

potent hamlet
#

Theoretically speaking: IF classics servers are in the cards what will be the cutoff patch-wise? Will it be PURE classic or will they include some of the quality of life changes they've made over the years? Will they eventually add the expansions for specific servers?

grizzled juniper
#

they might try and add qol changes

oblique folio
#

@potent hamlet they already confirmed it's patch 1.12

#

that's it

#

that's all you get

#

There was a huge post made about how they were going to add in battle.net integration, so you would have things like friends lists and junk which is what all blizzard games have now a days.

#

but otherwise

#

no QoL

#

They want to mimic it as closely as they possibly could

potent hamlet
#

@oblique folio I'll have to look that announcement up. I hope it has a list of some sort of what was included up to that patch.

grizzled juniper
#

it doesnt have a lot

#

just said that it was hard to do the porting to current compatibilities and all

#

And that they were indeed starting at 1.12 due the stability it had and how complete it was

potent hamlet
#

I enjoy my time with WoW but the early goings were ROUGH looking back on it. Running EVERYWHERE until 40. Pally had no dps what's so ever.

#

Did 1.12 include MC?

grizzled juniper
#

1.12 was the last patch ircc

#

iirc*

oblique folio
#

I just told you the patch

#

1.12

#

the last patch of Vanilla

#

Everything was unlocked, everything was avail

#

except for Gates

#

that won't be available

grizzled juniper
#

Are we going to unlock dem?

potent hamlet
#

Yeah you told me patch 1.12, most people don't know what was included in patch 1.12, myself included.

grizzled juniper
#

they didn't put what it content)

oblique folio
#

Like most private servers, they tend to leave themselves on the last patch specifically because it has all the data available in it. Everything's unlocked, there's no waiting on anything other than how you progress through the gear.

#

My bet is that they'll have AQ on release and then release things like MC and Naxx later

#

but those are gonna be nightmares

#

so enjoy that. I'll sit at level 25 in ashenvale

potent hamlet
#

It will be full of nostalgia and people will flock to it for a bit at least. I'll give it a go for a while likely.

oblique folio
#

I'll be here lapping up the salty tears from my beautiful forest as people cry about how blizzard ruined classic by making it extra hard.

bright root
#

Cant wait on 29/39 twinking 🕵

solemn brook
#

I don't see why they would have AQ at release

#

and I also can't find anything that says there won't be gates of AQ

#

seems more of a speculation of yours that you are stating as a fact

topaz pond
#

So sad we wont get classic any time soon

oblique folio
#

I litreally said

#

Oh I didn't say it was my thoughts

#

rip

#

Anyways, the reason I say gates wouldn't be available is because its at 1.12. @solemn brook and AQ's unlocking was patches beforehand.

solemn brook
#

Well, Blizzard has the technology to gate content

#

being on a patch does not mean all of its content is available

grizzled juniper
#

I dont think they could gate them

#

Heck I dont think they could add newer technologies into the game core without fucking it

solemn brook
#

then why isn't classic out yet

grizzled juniper
#

Because they are trying to make it at least compatible with most of the newer systems, because if you havent noticed, certain options of the vanilla game just dont work on new pcs, if you change the color stuff, it just ceases working

bright root
#

Hey guys, i know its forbiten talking about PServers, but do u know they usually running on 1.12.1 and many of them are able do (reanimate / script) AQ war resources and whole event? ;) so, i think blizz can do same job as non-profesionals.. Have it on last patch and having opening releases for all content as happend back in time

cerulean briar
#

Can't wait for classic on holiday season 2040

grizzled juniper
#

There was no bnet

hexed finch
#

bnet didnt exist yet when vanilla was out

#

i think they implemented bnet in wrath

oblique folio
#

@bright root the issue is not whether or not they can, it's whether or not they should. Considering the original opening was heavily bugged, glitchy, didn't work or ripped apart the servers.

#

On a private server it's easier to rig up because its a much smaller sample size of a few hundred to a few thousand (and that's being very generous on the later) of active users all doing it. Minus the millions that were up during the original event.

cerulean briar
#

The problem with Bnet is that it enables cross faction talking

#

which was forbidded back then

#

But the ToS has changed over time

oblique folio
#

Wait the ToS actually said that?

#

the GMs broke the ToS a lot then

cerulean briar
#

Well i mean it was banned to prevent teaming up cross faction

#

GM's were an exception

oblique folio
#

Do you have any proof to that claim? @cerulean briar

oblique folio
#

then we should be banned

#

cuz the use of discord specifically does break this

#

the secret findings discord also breaks this

#

there's a lot of things that actually break this

#

pandaren break this

#

demon hunters also break it

grizzled juniper
#

I think there are exceptions not listed there

oblique folio
#

me thinks intent is also a big thing on what actually breaks ToS and what doesn't

#

cuz Bnet chat as is breaks this ToS and this is not just vanilla toS

#

this is current day ToS

cerulean briar
#

Did people talk cross faction in vanilla? 🤔

oblique folio
#

there were addons made specifically to do that

#

people figured out how to translate WoW's common to orcish and vice versa

#

People got around that stuff even in vanilla.

#

kinda the point of a community.

#

my guess is they didn't want horde and alliance to work out certain PVP things with each other

cerulean briar
#

Well people back then hated oppostie faction deeply

oblique folio
#

Not much more than today lol

cerulean briar
#

What would be the point of talking cross faction

oblique folio
#

Clearly you weren't around for rare hunting, secret finding etc

#

DHs and Pandaren acted as metiators of PVP realms to get everyone to chill out

#

got people to ask others to not be dicks

#

etc

#

Community things

grizzled juniper
#

Or for the people that still were friends outside the game

#

I think these ToS are Really Outdated

solemn brook
#

I tried talking to a void elf once, they didn't know how to change their language I guess

grizzled juniper
#

Although i don't think brozzard cares that we speak in dc

maiden river
#

Or like....lore reasons.

#

And roleplay stuff

oblique folio
#

that doesn't work @maiden river cuz Orcs do know common.

#

Forsaken also know common.

maiden river
#

which is why I dislike the language barrier, yes. I mean, all NPC can talk to all players anyways

THEY'RE TOTALLY NOT MAKING CLASSIC GUYS
