Welcome to classic.Oh man. I just fired it up for a look. Created a human warlock (my original first character back in 2005) and ran OOM fighting a kobold in elwynn. Never Alt-F4'd so fast in my life. That wasn't fun.

None of the folks I know that are still active in retail WoW are super psyched about classic either. No one is really "lol vanilla is bad this is dumb" or anything, there just isn't much excitement or anticipation about it.

He's under level 5. Skill isn't needed then, even in classic. Why do people go on like classic is the dark souls of MMOs?Imagine actually having to use some skill and thought in managing your resources instead of brainlessly slamming buttons...

I don't think I've ever seen someone say classic wow is difficult. If it is they are certainly wrong. I played EQ, DAoC, old Ultima, Shadowbane, etc. Those games were way harder than classic.As an EQ1 player, my favorite thing about all the WoW Classic talk is laughing at people talking about how hard WoW classic is.

I just checked wowhead. Did they not add a single dungeon in the year since the release of BfA? Is that not a thing they do? What group content/instances did they add since then?
MDI live now
Until you can ban specs in MDI, I don't see how it can continue as an eSport considering views have dropped almost every time.
It's 99% Warrior tank, Rest Druid and now 3 outlaw rogues. As a viewer why would you want to watch?
It's not interesting and it has a lot to do with Blizz designing dungeons around the MDI instead of actually making them fun like in Legion.
Blizzard has an official thread for getting in touch with people from vanilla serversSo this is a super long shot but all the WoW classic stuff made me a bit nostalgic of my old raiding days...
Anybody here was on Dalaran (and/or Drenden once they offered free realm transfer) back around classic/BC/WOTC mostly...
I was raiding in "DOOM" on Horde side and "Flight of the Phoenix" on Alliance...
Ah cool, thanks!Blizzard has an official thread for getting in touch with people from vanilla servers

Just came back to BfA and entered Nazjatar. Everything is murdering me but I am only 345ish. I think I have to run a few normal dungeons....
Good information, thanks! I am currently on the quest for the heart upgrade and the enemies in the cave murder me. lol Might also be because I am a bit rusty with the class.You do get a 370 weapon right away. And shortly after that you get your heart unlock and they give you like 1x 385 azerite piece and enough pearls to upgrade it to 400. Don't upgrade it. That quest is optional. Use the pearls you get for free to buy 4 pieces of 385 gear from the vendor of your choice (no weapons, rings or trinkets, but there is azerite gear there too).
holy fkn shit

I fear that I may start joining the mount farming club. Never really did it except for Al'ar, which was totally worth it. Still my favourite mount in the game, I think. But man, Invincible is cool shit. I want.

I swear trash mobs in classic used to respawn after 30 minutes even if the boss they let up to was killed am I imagining that?

Yup, prioritize those emissaries when they're up. You can try to speed it up by just doing all their world quests whenever they're up but it's a slog.I am still working on Pathfinder I, mainly need the Tortollan Seekers and Champions of Azeroth factions. This is basically done by doing all the side quests I haven't done and doing world quests?
Here's Blizz's own patch-by-patch synopsis. Each story beat gets a small paragraph but if looking for something more engaging there are a ton of talented YouTubers. I like Nobbel87 (sometimes the accent is a bit much, heh).Is there a good resource for returning players to learn what's new in retail? I haven't seriously played since WotLK and due to classic forcing me to sub I decided to jump into retail with a new level 1 and I feel completely lost. With Cata completely changing the classic zones, and all the npc's talking about the battle in Northrend, I was also wondering if there's somewhere that covers the lore so I understand what has happened in the world since I played.

So after last night I've determined that Eternal Palace is gonna be BfA's "fuck you and your loot" tier for me. 20+ kills and I've gotten 3? drops. Cool. I have a work interference this week on Wednesday which is going to prevent me from being in raid for the full time which is shitty but I literally cannot get out of it so I guess I'll just miss out on more loot this week as well.
That said, we got 3/8 Heroic last night. Ashvane Heroic is something. I understand the fight from a tanking perspective and I think the rest of the raid understands the mechanics. It's just tightening everything and meeting that DPS check. That's intense.
Yeah, we're back in for our second night of trying her tonight, so I'm going to take on board all the advice this thread offered - and some fairly extensive exploring of logs and play mechanics over the weekend - to hopefully start making some decent inroads. We'll see how it goes!
