Still that does not mean that emulating a wow server is illigal
Ok...ok. lets leave it at that. Classic is coming. Cant get here soon enough
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.
yea cuz now its gonna start with everything how it is at the end of the expansion
everything is gonna be cleared very quickly
i thought vanilla was hard as balls 
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
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.
I remember fumbling through to 60 somehow. I always remember my first capped char. Paladin. Grinding scourgestones in EPL XD
I wanna try to earn that lvl 60 pally mount
That was fun. IIRC you needed at least 3 pallys for the dungeon part.
You all had to use different judgements on the adds or something.
yeah the different judgements but couldn't a single pally pull that off?
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.
I didn't start until the beginning of wotlk so I didn't get to have a taste of vanilla
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
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
It's kind of tough, from what I remember, Warrior is one of the hardest to level
I'll be a pally
I've always heard they were good dungeon tanks
just not so much for raiding
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.
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
You'll get no lust D:
But you will get pala buffs! and Divine Intervention
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
oof
The greater did everyone of one class though. So all rogues, all warriors, etc...
I've never been much of a raider, but I'll keep that in mind should I go for it
But you'll buff rogues with the attack power one, and there's always one that says "I want kings"
i should probably look out for a healing addon while I'm at it
I wonder if addons that no longer work in retail will work in vanilla?
🤔
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?
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
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 ><
If you need help getting it set up, send me a PM or something :>
👍
Any MM hunters?
...
?
why does nobody ever talk about classic
😦
hopefully classic doesnt require people to buy anything extra considering they already bought vanillla
private server
what about them
now people don't have to buy base game
you think they'd use that as an excuse for selling vanilla again?
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
thats awesome
Hey does anyone know of ProjectSixty servers in Argent-Dawn EU or any other server for that matter?
project sixty and other projects of expansions are pretty much dead since streamers dont make them anymore as of now
what is projectsixty
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
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
it was a pretty pointless thing
We did one after scaling and it was pretty fun woke it lasted
If you already have 50 characters on your account; will you be able to make new characters on a classic realm?
!ghelp
E
i can't wait for classic launch
your gonna be waiting a looong time
2020 at the max
Yeah 15th anniversary makes more sense
15th anniversary
would make more sense for it to be on the 20th anniversary
I want Cata and MoP servers also
\
Legion classic when
Cata rogues
[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.
what does that have to do with what i said
when is the launch of classic supposed to occur?
Nobody knows
??/??/????
excellent thats what i thought as well... thank you
Soon™
@stable sequoia Mind blown! 😉
Is there a way to macro removing a specific buff, i.e. the weaponmaster buff for warrior?
@safe holly Something like /cancelaura Weaponmaster would work
Question about Classic once your maxed out on everything can you transfer characters over to Non-Classic Servers?
nope
Of course not
Nobody knows
I mean yeah but idk why blizzard would do something like that
Because it wil cost money and its what they are after
You right, you right.
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?
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
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
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
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
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'
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
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
I have a question about classic
Is it supposed to look with over saturation of colors?
yeah
the amount of pixels used were a whole 30
so to make stuff look nicer, they increased the saturation of color
It would be so amazing if they progressed into future expansions like TBC and so on
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?
Yrp
of course
plus they already confirmed it in the dev watercooler back in mid June
Confirmed classic is coming, that is.
Nice
I miss the Classic Wow
The use of Quivers and Pouches along with Weapon Training as well
It was the best
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
Yeaa
Seperate servers is ideal
once blizzard sees the success of classic they will have no choice but to make other expansions
Yeah
Well
Just up till TBC
I think
Since The Lich King Expansion removes the Old Naxramas
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
I was like 7 or 6 when my dad showed this to me
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
Maybe after 8.0?
Classic coming after 8.0 is impossible
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
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
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
classic will probably release next year
There will definitely be news about Classic at Blizzcon this year.
Maybe the alpha will release.
An alpha version of 1.12.... That sounds interesting
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.
I implore you to level as a warrior
Actually go monk
Vanilla DK's were so OP
Dont forget 4 tanks needed :D
Oh, damn Horsemans :D sry, i never been in old Naxx
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?
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
Leveling is longer. No more specs. Talent tree.
You have to hold quest items in bags
That's about it lol
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)
You had to farm out the gold for your epic mount because there is no way to earn it casualy
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
This was true for some dps as well
Hmm why did they remove the ammo feature tho? That sounds like a fun and immersive feature that could add more to the game.
Because blizzard wants a wider audience and more money
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
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*
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
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
Was there a bow that did that before BC?
No
I was referring to the sunwell plateau
Yeah, was kinda curios
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.
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
Sure rogues can do that but could be nice if hunters could do something like that too.
Depending on if naxx is out at the start
lol thats because the meta is all figured out already
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
Isnt Naxx at WOTLK expansion??
...
Again sorry Im nooby.
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)
Oh well good to know, I used to think C'thun was the last raid boss
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
He returns because he is a Lich right? or did he do some escape thing?
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^^
Shifty guy huh? I think I get what happened lol
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?"
Oh my god.
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
Was all quests that derpy?
I guess someone at blizzard got tired and just rolled with that being the way of returning Kel
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
Wait why did Kel even kept his Phylactery, couldnt he hide it somewhere?
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
Can you blame him
hiding your phylactery is Lichdom 101
Alliance was being fucked by onyxia
?
Horde was dealing with blackrock
What did Onyxia do to the alliance?
Hoooooo boy
Lots of shit
A lot of shit
she was basically undercover
You know the defias
as a human women
oh god I love how you both said that
She is the indirect reason of why Tiffin died
Varian's waifu
So there was a dragon hiding as a human in the most guarded and highest area in Stormwind and as an advisor.
Yep
Fun
And she kidnapped him in the end
wait how was anduin king there too?
Mistake of the fuckin century lol
wasnt he just a child?
Well at least I know who Bolvar was lol
Otherwise
burned.
Bolvar was kinda burned, yeah
brb imma go die
but that's later
Varian and Varian
Oooooh yes I really really wanted to ask about that
Why was there something like 2 varians??
But there was a really cool questchain (for classic standards) where you freed a prisoner form blackrock that could unmask Onyxia.
Onyxia did some magic and split Varian in 2 personalities
And she turned into her huge Dragon form in the throne room of stormwind. And all the guards became dragonkin, too.
That sounds totally not dangerous
(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
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
The VCarian stuff is all in the comics, not in the game
Oh
Like, many people were pretty confused who Varian even was when WotLk started and they brought him into the game
Now thats when people will laugh at me when the only reason I know about Valeera is hearthstone.
Well, it is Canon. Just wasn#t in the game
like the shorts are canon from the BfA release. But they are not in the game (except for Sylvannas one)
Due how fierce he was, the orcs called him Lo'gosh
Best way to learn the lore is read chronicles
Ye
Like, they have all the important stuff, sorted in one place
Isnt there like 3 or 4 chronicles so far?
3
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
C'thun was more overtuned
Well, C'thun was a buggy mess and clearly not playtested
Well, it's been a long time, but I am quite sure there was some fuckery with the eye beam jump distance calculations
around 80 days before a down
And going in the stomach and coming out.
But I wasn't in our main raiding team, so maybe I missremember
C'thun was both overtuned and nearly unkillable. AQ40 couldn't be completed because the worm boss would bug out and never rise out
that boss wasn't required
to beat c'thun
it was an optional boss like visidicus
vicidicus? Whatever, that retarded boss
You mean "what, there is a faction without frostshock? to bad"-slimeboy
Beating C'thun doesn't mean you cleared AQ
AQ was unclearable until the worm was fixed and would actually spawn
¯_(ツ)_/¯
That worm was optional
everybody skipped it
Ouro wasn't killed until 86 days later
It was skipped cuz they couldn't get him to spawn LOL
Ya good thing now is better we don't have that problem anymore xd
IMO removal of those bugs would make it not classic
yeah
uhmwut
what happened with mankrik's wife?
she died in a quilboar attack
fff
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
In past maybe.. But now? When comunity know every pixel, koeficient, npc tracking.. Meh
and questie
Questie is amazing for vanilla
That's funny
Imagine if they were to release classic on the first patch ever
that would be horrible
considering it had nothing
Oh god
Theres Nothing
But i would imagine if they release the classic before they patch the Corrupted Blood epidemic
Don't worry they already said they would release it on 1.12 in the dev water cooler back in mid june
is private server talk allowed in here
No, no private server discussion on any of Wowhead's owned/operated properties.
you can talk about almost anything else tho, as long as it doesnt break wow's TOS or this groups rules
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
It to took years of pain and law suit avoidance
Tfw people still think they can just get an old copy from a flash drive and put it up for people to play
@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
Wrong chat
That's still a sexy worgen
Dogs arent sexy
A second more extensive video released by Blizzard revealing some of the process done in the creation of the original WoW's cinematic trailer.
god knows how much that hardware costed back then
@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
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
Did anyone remember the original High Elf model before it was Blood Elf Thalassian back in vanilla?
the modified night elf ?
Yea something like that.
npc that teleported you to molten core was a high elf
if i recall blood elves only started to exist in TBC expansion, they existed in Warcraft 3 campaigns tho
You are correct
I know that because i played a crap ton of Warcraft 3 and its expansion 😄
@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.
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
@maiden river Those were diferent models if i remember correctly
@cerulean briar I think that one was a Night Elf not a Blood Elf
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
oh ok
Thered also a blood elf in stonetalon
For horde. Quest was to tell you to kill sons and daughters of cenarius
anyone gimme wow classic download link and please not torrent file
WoW classic isn't out yet
He wants the client
Which isn't out. The only ones out are torrents.
@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
@left carbon when blizzard releases?
and thank you
https://strawpoll.com/dz1k898b I got it thanks
@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
@neon token :p
i believe "never, i think they'll be feeding us just enough info to keep us satisfied while it goes the way of HL3
but hl3 didn't have people hired into it.
But they already confirmed it back in the June dev watercooler
Ppl dont want it to come out cause then they cant complain about that specific thing
data don't feed the trolls
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtWbXNgbaN0 not related to classic,but related to vanilla
--The World of Warcraft Diary-- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/476291819/919464879?ref=543833&token=e2f45236 --Social Media-- https://twitter.com/hirum...
@cobalt rampart They would have to fire the wow team they hired specifically for it. 🤔
that's why I think you're trolling
Yeah you're right
well tbh
if lords of clans would had been released
stuff would be really different
or him
Deathwing
Will the Legacy servers use the Original Talent Tree and graphics?
Yes
awesome
no changes
While they are at it, they could improve graphics etc, no? 😁
No
#NOCHANGES
Uh, ok! 😁
#changequestitems
Why?
y'all want classic but then don't want all the inconveniences of classic. lmao
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
haha lvl 60 boost on classig
$999.99 😂
I have never played Classic WoW but it looks like fun
I hope the level cap in classic is 120 
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
No
If they want to remake wow vanilla
They better redo it from scratch and call it wow 2
...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...
you mean the bugs that maded the game unplayable ?
And those bugs
Are what made vanilla a cult game
The core client will be 1.12
yes but if they throw the game without changes, less people will play it. less people play it = less money
Blizzard will probably add QoL's in classic because that will attract a wider audience because blizzards main goal is money
C:
@cerulean briar qol?
Quality of Live
?
💰 💴
🤑 🤑 🤑
Just dumb.. IF Blizzurd change smth, less ppl who cryin "give us legacy servers"will play it
@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.
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?
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!)
You either are old or really sage
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?
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
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.
@gloomy gate im 32 so i may be considered old to some
@oblique folio SC Ghost. Warcraft Adventures.
Warcraft Adventures had a reason to be canceled
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
I mean Vris, you know how people want Vanilla to not be Vanilla and instead to be a new WoW at this rate
i cant remember what magazine it was that i read about it, i want to say it was EGM, but i was so excited
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
Even if new wow is really better than vanilla
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)
But it was also terrible
the rosetint goggles are too strong,because remember that most people(not all) that played vanilla,were not adults
id say a large majority of the people that want classic havent played it on anything other than private servers
Like Warcraft adventures was really a terrible game.
that 30-50 grind gives me the shivers when i think about it
Well
Granted that certain servers like Nost kept it as vanilla as they could without the actual source code
They are going to play Vanilla out of curiosity
I did play vanilla out of curiosity
then they will realize how hard it was compared to todays wow, then quit
After the evolved gameplay I couldnt really pass over the 20 levels
i mean are most people really prepared to hoof it without a mount till 40
Most of vanilla skills were limited to autoattacks only
vanilla's content was basically 90% the leveling,and 10% the actual endgame max lvl stuff
That until the first dungeons tho
The first patches were empty
ah yea,you mean autoattack simulator for ret pallies in vanilla
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)
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
And part grinding
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.
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
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.
and quit altogether
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
those hour long hunts for rexxar in desolace were a pain in the ass
i was a little boi and started in tbc,but my brother should have done the horde onyxia attunement
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)
it's probably my most played game too,with warframe as second
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
Oh I love warframe! though I will admit, and Digital Extremes admits the same thing, it doesn't have much of a tutorial.
yeah, the controls at first had a steep learning curve (on ps4)
basically it overwhelms you with the power of constant updates if you're a new player
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
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.
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
Nah Raev
As someone who's pumped a thousand hours into it
you're not OP
trust me on that
ive got around 10 hours into it, which admittedly isnt a lot on an mmo
The actual "end game" content and the story quests will kick your ass no matter the equipment you bring in.
10 hours 
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
the gameplay is quite engaging with the hundreds on hundreds of firearms,pistols and melee weapons
And they're all of different types as well!
also,you can get into fashion frame too
From submachine guns, to beam weapons, to BFG, to shotgun
across both sidearms and main weapons
i wish they'd make a unreal tournament MMO
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
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
for Warframe, platinum can be traded between players.
ONLY cosmetic things are with premium currency,and you can earn that currency ingame by trading with other players
Which is their real money bought currency.
Yup. You can actually buy from the platinum market without spending a dime on the game.
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 <-<
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
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.
only times i get to play wow now are when my sons at school and after i put him to bed
SINGLE DAD LIFE cue heavy metal music overlayed on top of really boring footage
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
because they have to be more realistic
that's just something blizz put in for some flavor of the world
I find it funny
Mostly at low levels
When you are innocent and you see a wolf rushing to kill a rabbit
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!
?
anyone have an idea of when blizzard is going to release classic?
Nope. Nothing has been announced.
Feb 29 
Hopefully 2019 but i'm estimating 2020
someone tell me a joke
your arenas rating
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.
I really hope all the game breaking bugs are back in the game.
And honestly I dont want improved graphics for itl
I want it to be old cartoony.
Screw that
I also agree with Vris
Same
No changes
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.
well they're not getting one
sorry
Blizz will make classic classic and that's that ::)
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
I cant tell if you are serious or not
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.
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
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
What some QoL.. #NOCHANGES
We dont wanna mass loot, RDF etc..
QoL oh god no
AoE looting wasn't added till Mists of Pandaria
Yup.. U can autoloot, but mob per mob
I don't think vanilla was as bad as everyone is making it out to be. I loved vanilla. It is my best memories of WoW.
I mean
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.
I wish classic would come out alreadyyy
@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.
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.
Oh the grind isn't what I listed.
Saying if you enjoy spending 3-4 months to get to max levek sounded like you were referring to the grind. I misinterpreted it
fastest 60 in vanilla was 4 days /played
yes. As /played. Or four straight days of leveling.
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
CAy man
I actually like the auto attack ret pala play style....
Casualy heal yaself :D
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
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
It could be free! A gift for all or us! Yay
Or just share the sub with the game
or $10 like warcraft 3
And maybe another $10 for every Xpac they release will classic if they choose to
same... got the wow diary book for 40$ 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.
problem is the digital one cannot (due to license) have pictures
according to the kickstarter page
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
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
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.
Especialy when eBook will be DMR free
you mean DRM free
Probably dmr too, i don't remember many sniper rifles in vanilla
hahahaha 😄 arms 2h furry 2x1h
2x2h starts with wotlk and also it was last talent in furry tree
ty
Fury equipted 2 1 handed weapons and Arms equipted 1 2 handed weapon
no
I wouldn't say that
Fair enough, thank you for answering.
https://wccftech.com/wow-classic-release-after-2021-staats-believes/ "If Classic comes out…I’m guessing after 2021." Blizzard’s Former World of Warcraft 3D Level Designer-Jonathan Staats Interesting. Wonder if he still has connections and knows that Classic is more vapo...
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
I cannot find any information which consists "2021"
Here is
The key word
believes that WoW Classic will release after 2021.
Believes
BELIEVES
There is not such words in this reddit thread.
Probably clickbait.
Found it, nevermind.
Spoke to soon he did
Man, My money is on 2020
I'm still thinking 2020 too
wait are these classic servers or classic private servers? @.@
classic servers
Private server talk is forbidden
Pri🅱ateserver
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?
they might try and add qol changes
@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
@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.
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
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?
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
Are we going to unlock dem?
Yeah you told me patch 1.12, most people don't know what was included in patch 1.12, myself included.
they didn't put what it content)
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
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.
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.
Cant wait on 29/39 twinking 🕵
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
https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/wiki/whatweknow
this seems like it has all the info compiled into one page, and seems like Blizzard does not know details like that atm
So sad we wont get classic any time soon
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.
Well, Blizzard has the technology to gate content
being on a patch does not mean all of its content is available
I dont think they could gate them
Heck I dont think they could add newer technologies into the game core without fucking it
then why isn't classic out yet
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
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
Can't wait for classic on holiday season 2040
There was no bnet
@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.
The problem with Bnet is that it enables cross faction talking
which was forbidded back then
But the ToS has changed over time
Well i mean it was banned to prevent teaming up cross faction
GM's were an exception
Do you have any proof to that claim? @cerulean briar
Number 10
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
I think there are exceptions not listed there
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
Did people talk cross faction in vanilla? 🤔
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
Well people back then hated oppostie faction deeply
Not much more than today lol
What would be the point of talking cross faction
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
Or for the people that still were friends outside the game
I think these ToS are Really Outdated
I tried talking to a void elf once, they didn't know how to change their language I guess
Although i don't think brozzard cares that we speak in dc
that doesn't work @maiden river cuz Orcs do know common.
Forsaken also know common.
which is why I dislike the language barrier, yes. I mean, all NPC can talk to all players anyways
I will win the giveaway. #Zaldin used Psychic

THEY'RE TOTALLY NOT MAKING CLASSIC GUYS
