maiden river
#

@placid raptor same

vocal whale
#

all the names are gone guys

topaz gale
#

wel, than maybe it stops being fast as soon as you hit "less than a min" maqDerp

viscid tapir
#

You're lucky the server's running. It could have simply been offline.^^

vestal shadow
#

Does it only let you create character and name right now?

vocal whale
#

yes

astral pivot
#

still stuck at logging...

chilly lagoon
#

so word of caution, i got an error trying to get on a specific realm, when i got back in it put me on a different realm and didn't notice until i had made a char

faint parrot

Just got disconnected, stuck on logging in.

vocal whale

faint parrot

vocal whale

all the hype and they didn't put enough resources behind it

placid raptor

Now im stuck on "logging" more than a min. I guess thats progress

faint parrot
#

Pagle = alliance I hear

tidal grove
#

seems most are stuck at Logging in to game server

viscid tapir
#

I think, blizzard did a really good job - huge que, long waiting time

#

aaaaaaarg thats classic feeling

tidal grove
#

@faint parrot what maeks you say that?

viscid tapir
#

additional to that an escalated forum πŸ˜„

grizzled juniper
#

Everything done

#

3 names already done

topaz gale
#

at some point it should change from "logging into game server" to queue

#

then it's just a matter of time

maiden river
#

It doesn't for me

#

It disconnects after 5 mins :(

topaz gale
#

took about 5min for me before it changed to queue

#

oh :(

chilly lagoon
#

i get blz51901016 every time I try to select bloodsail heh

dense hill
#

I'm mad that I managed to get in, got the "must have character" error and got kicked out now I'm stuck

viscid tapir
#

I love the people who say in the forum now:

If one of my names is taken, Classic is already over for me now πŸ˜„

grizzled juniper
#

LOL

topaz gale
#

welp

viscid tapir

placid raptor
#

Oh my god

#

Im back on logging screen

#

Jesus christ

chilly lagoon
#

get the feeling some servers are just hosed... i.e. all the 'low' pop ones

cursive wedge
#

Made all 3 before realising I was on the wrong server

placid raptor
#

I was at char creation on mirage raceway

#

I just typed in my password and it got me on server list right away

dense hill
placid raptor
#

This is exhausting

viscid tapir
#

What was a good Mage-Gnom name?

cursive wedge
#

Gnotagnelf

sturdy trench
#

So I was online at the exact minute, had all servers locked. Tried to make a character, couldn't. I logged off and back in, got stuck, then I got to over 10k queue to the wrong server. Got stuck, then I got over 10k queue to the right server, and now my name is taken.

maiden river
#

So I keep trying to connect to a server and it keeps kicking me

cursive wedge
#

Yup, seems to be a pretty common theme

placid raptor
#

I havent been kicked off realm list yet so i must be getting in now

cursive wedge
#

They dropped the ball on this one

maiden river
#

Yeah I did get into character creation ONCE but then I realized I was on the wrong server

sturdy trench
#

Yeah well, I won't be supporting this shit anymore.

placid raptor
#

Same here dreamer

maiden river
#

so I delete that character and try t omove to another one and ta da

placid raptor
#

Okay im in

maiden river
#

did you get on the right server?

sturdy trench
#

Wait, whut? Now it says I got it.

grand citrus
#

For those claiming for other people, how long is the turnover for names?

lilac verge
#

Im still stuck on perminant logging in to game server

dark beacon
#

worked for me now. got right into character creation and got my names

maiden river
#

I'm just trying to get onto the right bloody server

lilac verge
#

Was there an update or something you need?

celest atlas
#

some servers seem more reliable than others. I can get into the char create screen on almost all servers but the one I actually want 😦

sturdy trench
#

For me it said the name was unavailable, but when I restarted the game it shows that I have the character with the name I wanted.

maiden river
#

@celest atlas your name, are you a racing fan or a Bachelor fan?

#

annnd there's another D/C

celest atlas
#

I was until he went to Nascar!

maiden river
#

lol

#

got onto one of the Normal servers, Myzrael

celest atlas
#

I was always more of a Kimi fan anyway

maiden river
#

can't get onto Bloodsail Buccaneers

celest atlas
#

Same. That is the only one I can't get into

maiden river
#

surprise surprise the RP server is bonkered lol

#

and it even says low population

celest atlas
#

low because no one can get on I bet

maiden river
#

ding ding ding ding

indigo venture
#

I was damn lucky to get in early and get two names

#

trying to get back in for a third

mortal axle

Rip Bloodsail lol

maiden river
grizzled juniper

Damn

mellow pumice
#

Dang I can't seem to get in to Oceanic Realm

late sage
#

why is bloodsail taking so long

celest atlas
#

It is roleplaying a true classic wow server.

cerulean briar
#

I named my characters on the spot lol

celest atlas
#

and just got into bloodsail

rotund hemlock
#

same

late sage
#

Spartacus not taken on bloodsail

#

damn im lucky i guess

mellow pumice
#

okay managed to get into the realm. Looks like you can't delete a character if you have made a mistake

late sage
#

you can

mellow pumice
#

oh well . Just remember not to make any typos

late sage
#

i deleted one

celest atlas
#

You can, I deleted ones

mellow pumice
#

let me try agian

late sage
#

and made it again

quiet pine
#

Me and my friend were able to claim Gilneas & Kultiras

cloud spoke
#

lul

astral lava
#

how long before people trade names on ebay πŸ˜ƒ ?

mellow pumice
#

okay it took a couple of times and finally managed to delete a character and recreate it

cursive rock
#

How long is name creation up

celest atlas
#

Until release I thought?

maiden river
#

Got into Bloodsail and got my names!

indigo venture
#

Today is basically the β€œrelease” you can make characters from here on out

astral lava
#

lucky, only got partially

indigo venture
#

Just can’t log in till the 27th

maiden river
#

I wanted to make a female mage and call her Zatanna but all of the female faces just freaked me the hell out

astral lava
#

I had an issue making my troll female; all looked pretty terrible, including even the hair

grizzled juniper
#

Das a troll

astral lava
#

not too many choices for a mage (near orcs starting area)

cerulean briar
#

He's gonna have too play without his name forever

#

damn

flat lantern
#

Someones gonna prolly bribe him for his name

#

lol

astral lava
#

maybe if he wasn't such a ... people wouldn't have sniped his name (or would just give it to him)

grand citrus
#

Tbh there's a large demographic nabbing names to sell

#

Inevitably

#

I'm impressed Soda got his

astral lava
#

money transactions are against TOS aren't they ?

grand citrus
#

Yeah. But when's that stopped some people

astral lava
#

I hope bfa gold never touches/impact classic but afraid it won't be isolated long

grand citrus
#

I mean classic is gonna be a shitshow for one realm cause I think all US streamers went to the same realm besides Towelliee

#

and that realm is inevitably going to be a mess

astral lava
#

hope mine (whitemane and fairbanks) are safe frm big streamers

cerulean briar
#

Kinda disapointed they aren't adding the OG unarmored epic mounts but it's whatever i guess

grand citrus
#

Shroud, Soda, Asmon and Esfand to name a few are going Faerlina

#

So i'll safely say that realm is doomed

#

Oh and xQc

grizzled juniper
#

Damn

#

Thankfully the latin spanish realm is Thalnos

coral pasture
#

Even XQC whaaaaat

maiden river
#

I plan on being totally in character the entire time on the RP server

#

like totally

maiden river
balmy sundial
#

Shoot I want to play with the streamers

#

Like swiffy and mad dog season

hybrid igloo
#

Hey all

fringe mauve
#

@indigo venture it depends where you live. I will be able to log in at 3pm on Aug 26th

#

and we were able to use alt codes too for the toon names

astral lava
#

any suggestion for a good click to heal addon like Healbot that works fine on classic? (and on bfa too, I prefer using same addons on both)

native reef
#

Will classic be permanent

#

once released?

#

Willl it divide the player base big time ?

austere urchin
#

It's a lot of effort being made to not be permanent for the foreseeable future.

#

So early character creation has a 3-character creation limit 😠 oh well, the 3 I made are ones I wanted, so am happy.

livid lintel
#

do soul shards stack?

radiant glen
#

No, they are not but you’ve got special bag to carry more soul shards (but you can only have soul shards in it) like the Core Felcloth Bag which can have 28 soul shards in it

shell marsh
#

may not be in at launch though

#

those types of bags were only implemented in 1.9, so may not be in until phase 4 or 5

austere urchin
#

Anyone know if Ben Schulz has reclaimed Leeroy, or coming back at all?

crisp robin
#

Does anybody have a link to a good world map that has detailed zones showing flightpaths and boats/zepplins to other continents?

radiant glen
#

Thanks for the info Kiingy, I had completely forgotten that those bags were implemented later in the game.

crisp robin
#

ty sir, that is perfect

abstract copper
#

I wish I could reserve my name

#

But I'm not at home

vocal whale
#

have a friend get it and then release it for you later

native reef
#

Will classic be permanent
once released?
Willl it divide the player base big time ?

vocal whale
#

yes

next spruce
#

and warriors getting the name swifty/baj all over again LoL

fallow canyon
#

@native reef perma yes, with phases. SPECULATION says we might go right back into WOLK eventually haha

native reef
#

wrath of litch king ?

#

so basicly its just wow all over again ? πŸ˜„

#

so eventually there will be 2 wows

#

2 bfas

#

@fallow canyon

half obsidian
#

I think we are going to see a trilogy of the Classic world of warcraft experience

#

It will start with Vanilla and end with WoTLK

native reef
#

should end at mop

#

that was my first wow

half obsidian
#

I started back at the end of TBC but I actually played with a friend when Vanilla launched and man, I was super addicted to it from the start

fallow canyon
#

ya it will end likely around WOLK i think haha

solar turtle
#

I never understood why they have RP and Normal servers. They're basically both the same, right?

fallow canyon
#

i liked WOLK so thats fine with me πŸ˜›

#

NOWADAYS they are the same ye, back in the day they were quite different tho

primal lion
#

i think RP servers are for the ppl who want to pretend to be someone else, like fully envelop their toon

half obsidian
#

RP servers are more for like LARPing is what I can think of.

#

They want to live the idea of being a character within Azeroth. They fully develop a toon with a backstory and everything.

primal lion
#

kinda like D&D but digital

half obsidian
#

That's the best way to put it

#

It's something that a lot players actually enjoy

sturdy trench
#

RP is the only reason I've continued the play the game since Wrath. I did both raid and RP from vanilla to Wrath, but then just got bored with the raiding and moved only to RP.

fallow canyon
#

ya addons like that one RP one really make RPing fun i think haha, allows for a whole another world in wow πŸ˜„

#

my toons are on pagle made now, cant wait

half obsidian
#

I've really wanted to try RPing out again but I'm afraid to do so

sturdy trench
#

Why are you afraid?

fallow canyon
#

use that addon, make a profile and let RPing come to YOU haha πŸ˜› just goto moonguard server πŸ˜›

half obsidian
#

Just not sure if I can even do it correctly anymore lol

#

And is Moonguard the only server for RPing these days?

sturdy trench
#

Common sense is enough to do basic RP.

#

Well for EU it's AD.

primal lion
#

there's an addon for RPing???

sturdy trench
#

... Yes, several addons for RP.

primal lion
#

I've never done RP, so I have no idea

sturdy trench
#

Think of it like this. There is PVE, PVP and RP in WoW. All have their own addons, communities etc.

fallow canyon
#

"total RP 3" thats the one. great RP addon imo

solar turtle
#

I've played on RP servers in the past and never encountered anyone actually roleplaying.. I just wasn't sure of Classic did anything different with regards to rules or pvp. I prefer not to play any pvp.

sturdy trench
#

If you go to the major cities, for example cathedral square in SW, there's RP almost 24 hours.

half obsidian
#

I think I'm going to check it out actually

sturdy trench
#

Go for it.

half obsidian
#

Beta is back!

#

Only for closed beta participants though

2 hours for EU Gehennas?

I got my name reserved

#

couldn't remember the original one

devout isle
#

Hi guys. Like a lot of you probably are as well, I am stuck on what class to roll. I am torn between mage warrior and rogue. I want to be mainly a dpser and like fast gameplay. What is the best option for that? I have heard good and bad things about each class so it’s harder than ever

little grail
#

@devout isle go with your hearts desire. Rogue is always a plus. If you like melee that is. Warlocks are good, as well as Mage. Just all depends on what your feeling. I for one am remaking my 1st toon ever.

vocal whale
abstract copper
#

I wanted to remake my first toon but frankly don't feel like going back into healing so I picked mage

timid gorge
#

Is there somewhere some decent raid dpc class ranking??

tranquil sorrel
#

If your class has no DOT you are good

chrome rampart
#

Hello, is there a channel to talk about Theory Crafting for Classic priest ? ^^' Or is it here for the questions ? :p

dire pendant
#

Theory crafting for classic priest would probably be on a discord that is either classic specific or on a priest forum. You can find the in-depth classic guide on the WoWhead forum and probably talk more about it there too.

iron kestrel
#

@grand citrus what you rolling?

grand citrus
#

idk

iron kestrel
#

are you horde or ally?

#

?

grand citrus
#

bruh i probably won't even play it

#

not mad concerned

iron kestrel
#

but classic is the best wow has ever been?

grand citrus
#

ha

#

nice opinion you got there

iron kestrel
#

oh god

#

i'm guessing you play bfa?

vocal whale
#

Everything before xrealms and the shattering.

grand citrus
#

yikes. I wasn't saying your opinion was wrong

#

I was saying it's an opinion

#

and not fact

iron kestrel
#

yea it isn't a fact

grand citrus
#

classic wasn't perfect. neither is bfa. anyone saying either is deluded

iron kestrel
#

classic was as close to perfect as wow got

grand citrus
#

doing shit with my guild, playing new games, and surprisingly also having a life. i ain't got time for that shit

#

sigh. o p i n i o n

iron kestrel
#

ive left school for the rest of the year to play classic

grand citrus
#

of course.

iron kestrel
#

hey man just like asmongold says never stop going big dick

grand citrus
#

i mean most countries have finished school for the year anyway

#

eh. idk if you are but you're acting like a weak troll so I ain't got time for it

iron kestrel
#

i'm legit not trolling

#

the only things i disagree with about asmongold is hes ally and he think warrior i the best class

#

bc shaman is god tier

grand citrus
#

end of the day, it's another massive timesink and another ok MMO, which would make 3 for me, so I probably ain't gonna have time for it

iron kestrel
#

kite a warrior with a grounding totem and chain lightning his dick

grand citrus
#

done it before don't need to do it again

iron kestrel
#

what mmos do you play?

#

ive been playing wow for 11 years

#

it was my first ever video game and it's been my fav ever since

#

been playing it for most of my life

grizzled juniper
#

I don't think vanilla is perfect

#

considering it has to be remade to be considerated good

iron kestrel
#

it's being brought back because everyone thought it was good?

#

lmao

grizzled juniper
#

It's being brought back because it's a chance for new players to play the first itineration of wow

#

not because it was too good

iron kestrel
#

everyone wants it and have been asking for it

#

because it's good

grizzled juniper
#

Since Cata because nostalgia

#

If I was going to say which version of the original trilogy is the best

#

I'd say WotlK

iron kestrel
#

classic and wrath are my 2 fav

#

i think classic and wrath tie for first

grizzled juniper
#

Wrath beats classic in every aspect

iron kestrel
#

that your opinion

#

thats*

grizzled juniper
#

The classes are more stylished in Wrath, it got trashed due the LfG tool

iron kestrel
#

you have an opinion so do i none of us are "right"

#

but imo wrath and classic are tied for top

grizzled juniper
#

I like to split wow into three trilogies

#

The original trilogy, the revamped, and the modern

iron kestrel
#

everything before cata was amazing and the only thing that was good after that was legion

grizzled juniper
#

Eh, never played cata, read that most of the heroic dungeons were hard af

iron kestrel
#

did you play classic?

grizzled juniper
#

No

iron kestrel
#

wrath?

grizzled juniper
#

Entered on Lk

iron kestrel
#

oh

vocal whale
#

It's two for me, before they killed community and content/items and after.

iron kestrel
#

well yea if you join on the like second best and never played number one wrath is a good choice

#

i started at wrath but have been playing classic private servers

#

since it was literally impossible for me to play classic

grizzled juniper
#

You know, with how Blizz is working with Classic atm makes me feel that private servers did it wrong

iron kestrel
#

they did

grizzled juniper
#

Im not going to talk about it though

iron kestrel
#

private servers had it a bit harder

#

i'm only 14 turn 15 at the end of the month

grizzled juniper
#

I think the revamp trilogy was kinda nice, except from WoD

iron kestrel
#

i played the original wrath when i was 3 almost 4 my mum taught me how to play instead of having toys i was learning how to play wrath when i was young

#

so wow is literally my childhood

grand citrus
#

so you didn't play classic then

coral pasture
#

Imagine being as old as WoW khadgarface

#

Also hasn’t the game always been pg13 or something?

grizzled juniper
#

technically is E+10

#

I mean

#

Warcraft was E

coral pasture
#

So @iron kestrel was playing against ToS

grizzled juniper
#

Do you think they cared for it

coral pasture
#

Not really

grand citrus
#

all ik is I'm not hearing 'classic and wrath were best times' opinion from someone who didn't play classic and was 3 years old playing wrath (also big thonk

true lintel
#

I'm sure this has been addressed already at some point, but does anyone know if classic will have addon support at launch?

dire pendant
#

You will be able to use your addons.

true lintel
#

I'm guessing I'll have to download them again since classic has it's own files?

dire pendant
#

Yes.

#

Also has a different path to the addon folder.

#

Same WoW folder though.

true lintel
#

easy enough then haha XD

dire pendant
#

I have seen people using ELVUI and Details.

true lintel
#

blah...

#

still don't understand everyones hatred of the regular UI

dire pendant
#

I like customizing where my bars are and if they show and stuff like that. There is a lot of things you can do with a UI. The Blizzard UI can be a bit bulky on small screeens.

grizzled juniper
#

There will probably be a classic Elvui

half obsidian
#

I've reached out to them to see if there's any update on it's development

vocal whale
#

Shadowed Unit Frames also at launch I've read.

dire pendant
#

Some have been using Weak Auras, GTFO and DBM. So, there will be tons of addons available.

grizzled juniper
#

Was DBM available back with classic?

dawn ermine
grizzled juniper
#

gfdi i was watching it before

mossy vortex
#

So what's every one gonna be playing as when classic drops race/class

#

I'm completely new to Vanilla, in fact I haven't started playing WoW until BFA's release. So I played a little of the stress test and idk why but I feel I'm gonna have alot more fun in classic.

too soon to tell

things like that gonna balance out after a few months i guess

I saw this on the barrens chat forums

cloud spoke
#

wth more alliance-favored realms?

#

what is this world

dire pendant
#

How do they even get these numbers/

#

?

cerulean briar
#

Alliance left ; Horde right

dire pendant
#

I just want to know if they had a method of figuring this out. How do you know what the numbers are if people haven't been able to log in, thus not having an active character?

#

So, they didn't get it from Blizzard. That was my question more than anything. They asked their forum member what server and faction they were going to be. That was what I was wondering.

cerulean briar
#

The faerlina discord has almost faction balance

cosmic tide
#

faerlina is also the streamer server

grizzled juniper
#

I think they will release the game a few hours early

dire pendant
#

I doubt that.

grizzled juniper
#

They did it with BfA

dire pendant
#

They have a countdown clock though. I don't think that they had a countdown for BfA. At least I don't recall one.

grizzled juniper
#

They had one

#

but BfA came like....half hour

#

Tne global cooldown started with BfA

#

before it was...launching it at 3 am in legion

#

or 5 pm in WoD

cerulean briar
#

Yeah they did

grizzled juniper
#

Gods I remember Legion

#

it was 2 or 3 am

Reading @maiden river 's Feral DPS guide, I have two questions from my own recollections of Classic. 1) Isn't the ring Might of Cenarius nearly BiS, due to the +4 Weapon Damage actually affecting the "feral psuedo-weapon"? 2) Does the *Elemental * Sharpening Stone, and only that stone, work?

maiden river
#

weapon damage was just a private server thing

frigid gull
#

Was it? I never played on an unofficial server, and I recall it. Certainly, it ranked second-highest on Tangedyn's old BiS list.

(web version link is dead, but the excel file still works)

Just been reading through to find some info. I'm not sure I understand why people / the team seem to think Blizzard are going to release items in line with the phases / patches as they were originally. Their only blue post on this (https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/classic-content-plan/120346) suggests to me that it's either pre- or post- 1.10. Is there some info that I'm missing?

Prior to the Ahn’Qiraj unlock, most of the drop rates and locations will look as they did in the patches prior to 1.10

That could be read in either fashion (you could take 'patches prior to 1.10' as a single entity) and given that they won't change itemisation, it makes me wonder. Is the above all we have to suggest that they're release items phase by phase?

hexed finch
#

As far as i know all Items Will be in their 1.10 version

lunar locust
#

Not talking about itemisation, I literally mean for when they will drop

hexed finch
#

The Place they drop in Is the same as It was pre-1.10

lunar locust
hexed finch
#

Well from the same It sounds like It drops from Molten core

#

So If Molten core Is phase 2,then its correct

lunar locust
#

MC is Phase 1

#

obviously

grizzled juniper
#

Can someone explain what is the item thing they talk of in the later phases?

abstract copper
#

Hmm, maybe I won't go mage

#

Might go Eleshaman

fiery vigil
#

If you die, and cant get to your body or back to the graveyard, is there any way for a mage to respawn

hexed finch
#

there should be an unstuck button even in vanilla

#

or

#

if you cant get to both your body OR a spirit healer,it means you're somewhere weird

#

so dying of fatigue(while a spirit) could also help

#

and if there is no unstuck button you can try typing /unstuck in chat or something similar

#

@fiery vigil

native ether
#

Or talk to a GM if there is no other choice

#

Didn't people do that back in Vanilla?

hexed finch

they did

Then he ports you in the sky and you die from falling dmg coz you waste his time with your stupidity

But you are already dead

When the GM rezzes you, they port you to the sky etc

#

I wonder if classic is going to have GM's visiting you in the game like the old days or if it's going to function like it does on retail.

i wish that was still a thing kinda

Hello everyone!! Im new to this community 😊. I have a question on Classic WoW class trainers. Do all trainers have the same abilities to train? Or do some only train up to a certain level and then you have to find a higher level trainer?
Thank you!!!

astral lava
#

I doubt they'll staff real live GMs that would cost too much, sadly

#

it's going to all be automated CS where the answer is basically "no", whichever was it you were asking

abstract copper
#

I believe it works like it used to

#

with the bar to fill

#

and certain trainers only trained certain recipes and only so high

So, it's safe to say that if I'm human and i set my hearthstone in Goldshire I should be able to visit my trainer all the way up to 60.

abstract copper
#

I think so? Don't quote me on that, I could be completely off.

#

Vanilla was a long long time ago

tropic hawk
#

I know, for some strange reason I feel like some trainers we're only able to get you trained up to a certain lvl. And you would have to go find like a master trainer. But I'm just not sure. I could be crazy haha.

I can't find anything on this online and so it makes me think that I just might be remembering this all wrong.

I'm curious if staves actually work for warriors

#

Because they give... god what is that stat? will? the one that no longer exists

#

and that's good for warrior levelling

#

spirit

native ether
#

The ''advanced'' guides state that spirit should be ignored (they refer spreadsheets as their resources) and that agi is way better. As a Human I will always give prio to swords ,but if your race doesn't have a particular buff concerning weapon types a staff which gives high alpha damage and/or STR should be worth upgrading to. Just my personal opinion derived from reading guides.

abstract copper
#

Spirit Supposedly gives health regen which warriors have trouble with

If speed runners need like 4days for 60 i doubt your 11days sounds legit

talking elapsed and to kill rag, not just get to 60

Oh, well in that case, I've no clue where 5-man pvp would fit into WPvP

There won't be many stragglers

@fiery moth Horde or Alliance?

fiery moth
#

@abstract copper we had to go alliance cause we got people playing pallies

abstract copper
#

I'll think about it

#

Maybe a night elf warrior, but I don't want to tank.

#

Since y'all have paladins I assume you don't need healers?

fiery moth
#

@abstract copper as of rn we have 2-3 Tanks, 6-8 Healers

rest dps lol

the low end numbers are definite

the high end numbers are still people on the fence about spec

but literally fill whatever you want if you were to join us, More people easier to fill for dungeons

UI related question: does our bfa UI carry over to classic? Or gotta build a whole new one? Don’t want to spend the first chunk of time fixing my UI lol

fiery moth
#

@dapper pendant pretty sure classic is its own folder

#

soo addons arent installed into it

#

and most likely any addon up to date for bfa wont work on classic, i know they saidf they were trying to break some addons that make game too easy

native ether
#

Yep,different add ons for Classic,different everything

fiery moth
#

yea if you open your wow folder, youll see classic and retail

#

_ classic _

and same with retail

all your current addons are in retail -> Interface -> Addons

your classic -> interface -> Addons is empty

I refuse to use add-ons

Seems a bit silly, going back to experience olden times but bringing a car

quaint rivet

@abstract copper So you don't want to be better informed or more efficient?

Absolutely not

fair enough.. Embrace it! You be You!

We were not more informed in 1994

Why should we be in 2019?

quaint rivet
#

There was no World of Warcraft in 1994. But seriously.. I was not trying to bust stones.. play the game the way you enjoy it!

tiny nymph
#

what about the addons that worked in vanilla, and them being the exact same versions as back then?

#

'cause iirc there were a few threat tracking addons or something

dire pendant
#

There were addons for everything in Classic. The API back then wasn't as restrictive as it is now. From quest helpers to raid timers. The biggest different between now and then, is the understanding in programming that allows for more elaborate types of addons in one specific addon (like ELVUI that can do everything from move frames to count your gold earned this session).

abstract copper

I won't be using anything, I'll use it now just as I did back then.

yeah but when comes release time, I want to play, not stare at a "Estimated time in queue 12h" πŸ™‚

#

my 2nd server after whitemane is the only green one... which worries me in the other direction, as a future dead server

dire pendant
#

Hey you don't have to worry about a lot of the saved names. I created a character on a realm and I probably won't play it till December or later.

#

I am sure that there are other people out there that will wait a couple of weeks before they log in also. They reserved names and want to wait till the starting zones calm down. Others want to go into it hard.

solar junco
#

is the Wowhead client going to be able to determine that it's running the classic client, or is there going to be a different version for Classic?

vernal kettle
#

The Wowhead Client already has a section for Classic. There's not a separate client for it.

@solar junco There is a button in top middleish section of wowhead that takes you to the classic sector of the site

Hey guys, I have a (maybe controversial) question. What is heating up this immense classic hype? I mean, I do get that people want to enjoy a game they liked 15 years ago - but it is still exactly that, a 15 year old game. Many convenience features are missing and you know exactly what content will be available. On top of that, it costs the same fee as 15 years ago. I simply would love to understand it.

tiny nymph
#

nostalgia, mostly. plus it's added ontop of the same fee we're paying for the current game, so you're not paying for classic independently of retail

grizzled juniper
#

This is how you split wow into classic and modern

#

There are way different things between those two

#

Classic has the value of leveling each character, while Modern is more focused on reaching endgame as fast as you can

fiery moth
#

Modern WoW is focused on you playing every single day to stay updated on your aetifact

#

Which I think is the worst feature between legion and bfa

vocal whale
#

@neon vault In a word, community. Has nothing to do with nostalgia unless you consider it nostalgic to go back to the game before they made huge design mistakes like CRZ and the Shattering. Defending your leaders, selling your meaningful profession skills on trade or helping your fellow realmmates out in the world. It isn't a mount, pet and toy collecting game.

abstract copper
#

Legion was fantastic, but focusing on keeping up to date with your artifact was just a good way to get burned out

grizzled juniper
#

It's like they are still trying to check on a good progression system

#

Imo a good progression should be something that isn't linked to a piece of armor

abstract copper
#

I think progression should stop

#

It should reach a cap and stop

grizzled juniper
#

It does

#

In 8.1 it was 50, 8.2 its 70

#

They even give you the first 35 ranks

stark jackal
#

I hate retail wow it’s boring as shit. Like I’d rather sit on a toilet shitting and play clash of clans or clash royale then play wow. There’s no point to it you overpower most of the content by yourself

#

I don’t know any streamers playing on Herod just the people avoiding the streamers and the game will die out so why not have everyone stacked on one realm

#

Blizzard should have been prepared. So in their words β€œyou’re not prepared”

grizzled juniper
#

I don't think you have read the latest interview

#

They didn't open more realms in purpose at the beginning

Hey, got a question so I had a few people in my stream say you can use your mounts that you have currently in classic (I know you cant until level 40) but they are saying that all the mounts /pets will transfer to classic also? Does anyone know if that is true

cerulean briar
#

Pets and mounts from BFA will not transfer to classic.

#

The only things that will be transferring from BFA to classic are the original world of Warcraft collectors edition pets (Mini diablo, Mini zergling and the panda cub)

austere urchin
#

They're not introducing features/mechanics/content that did not exist in classic.

native ether
#

I will play classic cause I cant play PvP in retail. Alliance lacks in WM presence and I cant find to PvP with. Plus, the extra difficulty of Vanilla will be a nice change. Retail does not need to die,it just needs a break. @neon vault

abstract copper
#

I like retail wow

#

I don't like having to log in every day in some vain attempt to keep up

#

I don't like that my shaman doesn't feel like a shaman

#

I don't like playing by myself because I don't want to have to put in the work to grind to a higher item level

#

I don't like being a healer anymore because it has gotten significantly harder and people treat you like shit for their mistakes

native ether
#

The last thing about healers is on point 100%

#

cant really disagree with the rest either

abstract copper
#

I mean people have always done that, but retail healing is way way way harder than it used to be

grand citrus
#

well in fairness bosses had way less shit than they used to do

#

wait no

#

...bosses had way less shit than they currently do

#

yeah

native ether
#

The problem is that people expect you to overheal everything

#

they dont avoid dmg at all

#

except for the insta kills and even those sometimes they do not avoid

grand citrus
#

well that's just dumb players in 2019

#

which I'm sorry to say are gonna be the same people playing your classic

abstract copper
#

They don't pay attention

native ether
#

yes but in classic they will have to play

grand citrus
#

you say that Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

we're not going back in time

#

people have changed and classic will not be the same

#

in what way, i don't know, but it won't be

abstract copper
#

It'll be as close as they can get it

grand citrus
#

Oh I don't deny that blizzard will make the game as close to the original experience as possible

abstract copper
#

The thing is, people have been breezing through private servers... And then they found out that those servers are actually too hard

grand citrus
#

But players have changed

abstract copper
#

Private servers actually had like all of the numbers for enemies too high

grand citrus
#

(ok yeah point taken but i ain't gonna gt banned for talking about priv servers)

abstract copper
#

The game was harder than vanilla and people still managed to breeze through it

#

We were just trash

grand citrus
#

I'm just looking forward to all the people who got rose tinted glasses

#

I've legitimately seen people say 'bfa has too much grind, I'll play classic'

#

bruh if you think bfa is grindy classic will kill you

native ether
#

In Classic people will have to adapt,else they wont be able to do anything significant.
So A they adapt B they quit
Win,win cause either the players get better or only the dedicated ones are left. In B the nuber will be smaller,but we'll manage

grand citrus
#

Probably how it's gonna go down yeah.

#

I'm probably not gonna play it cause it's even more of a timesink than current and I ain't about playing 2 time heavy MMOs

#

i just know there's gonna be fallouts and it's gonna be funny

abstract copper
#

The thing about classic is that it's grindey, but you don't have to log in absolutely every day and grind for some bs heart

grand citrus
#

i mean. you don't need to grind azerite

#

i've never really understood the logic in that

#

i don't grind azerite and I'm still one of the more capable players in my guild

abstract copper
#

But you don't need to grind in classic constantly to keep up

#

You can get endgame gear and just... Stop

#

You're done

grand citrus
#

and then there's not really any game, but hey 2006 problems i guess

abstract copper
#

You can pvp, level an alt, there's always things to do

grand citrus
#

Idk. People have really latched on to azerite as the villain of all that's good and i think a lot of people overexaggerate the problem

#

what I may as well add as my footer to every message though is 'neither is perfect, anyone who says otherwise is deluded'

abstract copper
#

They do, but that's because they want to keep up with the elite because they think that will make them elite

native ether
#

My main problem with retail is that Alliance is almost non existent in PvP

#

WM on and you are alone,constantly surrounded by Hordes

grand citrus
#

game changes players don't, as i said. i'd be pleased but very surprised if faction imbalance is better in classic

native ether
#

They only PvP guild I can find want 2k arena rating ,which I can't get to cause I have no Ally friends to PvP with

grand citrus

what does make me laugh is the people wishing 12k queues on themselves because reeeee asmongold

and on that theme the people still saying classic shouldn't have sharding

Well,it's kinda nice that you have to pick

neon vault
#

I don't want to be forced to play every day. I hope blizz finds a better solution than introducing an azerite successor in the next expansion

native ether
#

The whole mmorpg thing is supposed to require you to play daily in order to advance. If you don't you will have to eventually put in the hours,which results in longer subs/more gamecards

#

It is a way for the company to make profit,it will never change

abstract copper
#

It should not force or require you to

#

Your character should be done at a point

native ether
#

The more hours you put in the faster it will get there. If you are on a hc raiding guild,you will be able to be fully geared in a few weeks after each patch

#

you will then have the option to spend your time however you want, grind for rep or do pvp etc

#

unless your guild requires that you lvl/gear another char,that sucks

abstract copper

Classic is more rpg, less mmo

But also more mmo

Yeah it's never going to be exact same, sure, especially since we're starting from 1.12/13 from the get-go and miss out on desired features already removed by then, but in the end, the hype is largely based on satisfaction that we're finally getting, on official terms, what we've asked for.

#

When you open the Classic client it says version 1.3 but I understand that it Will run on patch 1.2.. what does that mean in terms of addons

#

Should we be getting addons for 1.2 or 1.3

vocal whale
#

@crisp yacht get addons from the usual source. Not those that are for private servers. Curse, the Twitch client etc.

crisp yacht
#

Yea But theres still different versions

cerulean briar
#

I'm assuming bigglesworth is going to have a high alliance population

grizzled juniper
#

The client indeed is 1.13, the content is 1.12 however

#

You should be getting the addons for 1.13

indigo venture

the beta is updating

grizzled juniper

What beta

classic beta

awesome news

except if the way they do it it breaks 100s legitimate/ok addons

grizzled juniper

Yep

grizzled juniper

Man

#

ClassicLFG and the topic about the Soul of WoW Classic

#

These 2 days are going to be epic

astral lava
#

hopefully blizzard recants on the random api breakage idea

grizzled juniper
#

Yeah

grizzled juniper
#

Classic is getting parched

low wedge
#

they should ban addons in classic completly πŸ˜„

#

make it pure 2004 vanila expirience

cloud spoke
#

are you drunk

#

you do realize classic had addons?

#

now dumb (popular) lfg addons like that, or weakaura, but it had addons

#

apparently an unpopular addon in the form of Call to Arms did exist, but I don't know anyone who ever knew it existed

#

and addons like AtlasLoot are, to me, part of the classic experience. But not addons like classic lfg

frigid marlin
#

Yeah btw classic had addons that literally played the game for you

#

Healbot and decursive for one

hexed finch
#

but those arent allowed even in retail

#

e.e

maiden river
#

There's a version of decursive in retail now but i dont think it works the same way it did back then

#

and i thought Healbot was in retail? i dont play healer but i think i remember in legion people were using it, or the one where you just left or right click on the bar and it does a certain heal to whoever it needs

dense bone
#

Healbot is the same raid frames API as default. It's just making frames more friendly and informative for healers. In fact you cant customize well raid frames in classic, most people using healbot/grid/etc for better UI, but for now WoW classic using legion API and raid frames is good enough by default.

#

If anyone on EU Golemagg wants the name Dranosh, it's now free to take

proven bear
#

@maiden river decursive for retail, you still have to click on something, with the old school decursive, no clicking, just did it automatically. The retail version lets the caster know who has the ailment. You still have to click on something. That's what blizzard is trying to avoid, the auto stuff.

maiden river
#

Yeah i want them to avoid that sort of stuff too

frigid marlin
#

Healbot In classic wow would literally have things to cancel heals if the target was above a certain %

dense bone
#

@frigid marlin Wow i didn't notice, this is cheats for sure

frigid marlin
#

Yeah

You could set that to like 0.3 seconds left on the heal, did a bunch of thinking and playing for you

#

It was silly

#

All that garbage broke in the 2.0 patch

frigid crater
#

kinda stupid question, but classic will start at 27.08 at midnight, right after monday or some other hour? talking about eu

frigid marlin
#

It starts at 3pm on the 26th in Los Angeles

#

Translate that to the time zone of your choice

frigid crater
#

πŸ‘ thank you

frigid marlin
#

There was this posted as well a while back

frigid crater
#

so for me it probably will be 12 cest, thank you again Terryn πŸ‘

austere urchin
#

Is it me, or is Vaulty clickbait? His videos on classic WoW use arbitrary number listing, and poor audio editing.

quick cosmos
#

I think people agree

#

Check the like to dislike ratio

cerulean briar
#

This is on the classic wow reddit

abstract copper
#

They said they won't allow LFG

cerulean briar
#

Good

abstract copper
#

so no shit they won't communicate to the guys trying to make an lfg addon

indigo venture
#

I think you misread. Weakauras is talking about communicating to any addon dev, because none of them have any idea what API Blizz is going to try to restrict

grizzled juniper
#

It will be a shame if it disables the 50% of addons

onyx parrot
#

!ironfoe

abstract copper
#

I think the game should only allow specific addons that blizz oks

#

didn't know they weren't communicating at all though

astral lava
#

what makes you think that blizz has time or inclination to review every addon or limit the creativity of authors?

abstract copper
#

Apple does it

grizzled juniper
#

Wow

#

For real?

astral lava
#

apple takes 35% of the sales so that gives them some incentive

abstract copper
#

Apple doesn't let you on their store unless they say so

plucky glade
#

Apple also sucks

#

So there's that

astral lava
#

apple doesn’t host apps with the source code open, and made by volunteers so not sure what your point is (they sell stuff on a store so they want to avoid getting in troubles/bad rep) also blizzard doesn’t host the addons, 3rd party sites do

hello eu gamburgers

proven bear
#

anyone know what patch Treant form came to droods?

fossil ibex
#

I don't think you need to be subbed to see it. But as you can't see the version in the dropdown for version selection of WoW - I would raise a question with Blizzard support about this. Also check that your battle.net launcher is up-to-date. Mine is at version 1.15.2.11378 - you can see it in launcher settings at bottom left

#

Wait.. on that page it clearly says:

Access to WoW Classic is available to all players with an active World of Warcraft account. If you lost access to your account, you can recover it here.

So i guess you won't see it unless subbed

#

Not sure what you mean.. but it says active subscription, which means you have to be subbed (which is an answer to your original question)

somber pecan
#

i have f2p and it allowed me to install but I also have retail installed

hexed finch
#

I believe It would work as with retail,so that you can login even if you dont have a sub,but you cant "enter world" aka actually use the characters

somber pecan
#

yeah, it wont let me login because i dont have sub

#

but it gets to the login screen and i can adjust settings and what not

fossil ibex
#

i don't see why it wouldnt. But installation should be possible even before.. I think only one who can figure it out is Blizzard Support - why you can't see it at all

somber pecan
#

Razz, does your bnet launcher say it needs to be updated at the top or bottom?

#

and right above the play button do you see a box that says World Of Warcraft?

#

select that, and you should be able to select wow classic

#

and then the play button should switch to install

#

I would suggest blizzard support then

fossil ibex
#

what stops you from being able to create a case?

grand citrus
#

you don't need any software to take a screenshot bruh

#

you just press print screen

hexed finch
#

Print screen,open up Paint,paste and save

#

Oldest trick in the book

fossil ibex
#

in windows you have "Snip & Grab" as well as "Snipping tool"

#

those are built in with Windows 10

hexed finch
#

Im pretty sure snipping tool was in Windows 7 as well

fossil ibex
#

probably yeah, Been a while ago πŸ™‚

#

there is an option to take a screenshot after a few seconds

hexed finch
#

I generally click on the Button and really quickly open the drop down for this kind of things

fossil ibex
#

so select Snip in 3, quickly open dropdown and then it will allow you to select the area

#

are you in EU or US? I assume US as youve selected "Americas"

#

just checking πŸ™‚ in case your account if created for EU

#

also, which region is your Battle.net client set to?

#

ok and when you log into battle.net, you selected americas region?

#

humm, ok.. so it's not that either.. I'm honestly out of ideas now.. Now that you can create a screenshot - are you able to create a support case? πŸ™‚

#

im actually confused by your "region" dropdown... I don't have that

#

it can be because you dont have a sub (and never had on that account?)

#

maybe thats why

#

Wait.. You never even created a starter edition account

#

Go to your battle.net account and navigate to games and subacriptions

#

I assume it will not even show any Wow accounts? There you should be bale to create a starter edition account. It's free for up to level 20.. It's a retail version. After that let's see if your battle.net shows account selection instead of region

#

See on the left side games & subscriptions?

#

Cool

#

Hehe :) enjoy (don't forget to go and reserve your name already). Now you just need to sub so you have access on the launch date

abstract copper

bit heavy on the language

hey does anyone know how to use jeeves to setup a guild for classic? It's saying Herod is an invalid server

proven bear
#

Herod might be locked due to it being full, not 100% on that though.

austere urchin
#

This is perhaps one of those rare moments where I'm happy to not play on a US server (I'm based in Sydney).

abstract copper
#

How's the internet there?

#

Cause I've heard AUS internet is awful

austere urchin
#

Here n there. Depends on the day and where you are.

It's otherwise a highly politically sensitive issue.

We have the technology, but that's about as far as it gets.

anyone knows what the main English EU server will be

low wedge
#

One with the highest queue

quick cosmos
#

Will EU get to play 4 hours before the US realms?

#

It sounds weird since EU always gets their stuff 12 hours after US

#

I might be confusing them, since I dont know the 12 hour time thing

quick cosmos
#

Nevermind

low wedge
#

Its global

neon vault
#

countdown however points to EU 12 at night. Might be a coincidence or the best fitting time

#

maybe 1, depending on the country to live in

#

it is 12 for austria, switzerland, germany etc. . . .

which I suppose is something in the morning to NA

maiden river

Hey, I've never played wow but still want to try classic with some friends. Any important things to know? Also which race and class should I play? My 2 friends are orc warrior and troll priest

neon vault
#
  • depends on if you want to find success ?
    -> yes : watch one of the "how to level up/ be successful/ plan your routes/ set priorities in wow classic" videos
    -> no : just go ahead, play and have a good time.
    -classes depends, yes, racials were probably more significant back then, but (at least for me), still not a deal breaker. I think dwarf priest looks ugly af, will role night elf. Is it optimal? Hell no! Do I enjoy the game more that way? definitely!
maiden river
#

ok

neon vault
#

. . . oh but in any case, save up for the lvl 40 mount πŸ˜„

#

no matter if casual or not, having a mount will boost your enjoyment level significantly

austere urchin
#

Just after 11pm in Sydney. Name/character reservation restriction to be lifted at 3am, which is in about 4 hours. Going to get some sleep.

quick cosmos
#

If you log in an hour before launch, won't you get disconnected after half an hour?

#

And have to requeue

half obsidian
#

Yep

solar junco
#

you'll need to requeue not long before, otherwise yeah, you'll time out on the login screen

8hrs for classic btw

Im looking forward to ganking ppl in low lvl areas

It will be glorious. Im gonna roll a mage first though.....probably should have started with a rogue to gank

austere urchin
#

Character creation limitation will be lifted in 2.5 hours.

#

So you can make one then.

Eh, i wanna roll with a mage. Never played a mage

They're fun.

@white jungle What is glorious about ganking low lvl people?

I find it enjoyable

So you find ruining other peoples experience enjoyable?

Not ruining. Its a pvp server

sturdy trench
#

Yes, but how exactly is one shotting low level people proper PVP?
