Congrats! Bet that felt pretty damn satisfying.Thank you guys so damn much.
One small refinement that seemed to work for us: We happened to have no melee (not terribly uncommon for us), so had the tank who got Briny Bubble stand still while the other got out of range - then the free tank waits for the cutting coral, and *after* that happens, moves her over the bubbles so you've got a splash factor on them without needing to be concerned about coral underfoot.
We had four or five sub-10% pulls, and that was *infuriating*. We had to stick with it after that!
Your best bet was to just sit at the "Logging in to game server". Which took forever, but ultimately resolved.

Also got my name reserved, but not sure I'm going to actually play. I usually play Paladin, but I just read some Classic class guides on Wowhead to refresh my memory, and it just doesn't sound appealing at all:
- BiS gear looks like shit. If, for example, you want to be a good Paladin healer, you are basically forced to ignore the class sets, and use a mix of cloth / leather / mail / plate items, that will make you look like a clown. I know that's how it was, but it simply isn't appealing to me.
- Class balance is shit. Good luck getting a raid spot as a ret / prot Paladin.
- So much stupid game mechanics stuff, that I can't even list all here.
- Good luck doing anything on your own as a healer.
Imo they should have considered releasing a "Classic Remastered" version with at least these improvements:
- Better stats on gear, so that the Tier gear is actually usable.
- Improved class balance, for example competitive dmg for ret Paladins or giving taunt to prot Paladins.
Don't think this will have legs after the initial rush on release day.

I can't wait until this 15 year anniversary event. I want that deathwing mount so bad and will probably jump back into AV for the first time in years.
I dunno, people really, really seem to love classic. Like the verve surrounding the beta on places like Twitch or YouTube was unlike anything I've seen with WoW in a long, long time. The numbers will certainly fall back from the initial rush, but I think it'll have a dedicated community for a long time.Also got my name reserved, but not sure I'm going to actually play.

It's just one of those fights that getting it down is quite hard but once you have it figured out and have more gear upgrades it's pretty easy.We had four or five sub-10% pulls, and that was *infuriating*. We had to stick with it after that!
paladin pretty much royally sucked to play before WotLK. It's my favorite class now, but for this reason alone I'd never wanna go back to classic. On some level I respect Blizzard's dedication to keeping everything as it was but there's so much bullshit in classic. I'd personally rather see them go back to vanilla content but with the learnings of making WoW for 15 years. Kinda like that runescape example someone mentioned. They're not making this for people like me anyway tho so it's whatever. I have zero interest in going back to questing the way it was then. I couldn't even hack it on a WotLK private server, that was too far back for me.Also got my name reserved, but not sure I'm going to actually play.

Yay, we got heroic azshara down... on the very last pull tonight.
Hey, the name is very important to me.
I'm not going to pick a name like XxxLegolax_sexy56Zx
I was wondering, is there a place on the official Discord to discuss Wow Classic?
Otherwise, me and another era guy created a discord to bring everyone together who is going to play Classic and is looking for a guild/discuss the game. But if WoW ERA already has a place for that, that would be great as well. It's just to bring everyone together.
Hm, not sure what the best course of action is here. I wouldn't mind sharing a server but maybe in the long run, it makes sense to have separate one. What do you think?
I agree. Then if you don't mind, you can go ahead and link the Discord from the previous post.
I also don't mind transferring ownership to someone who has been more active in the community if they reach out.
Thanks!
I started Nazjatar because they gave me a free 3-day trial but yeah I can't really be bothered. I'll come back for the 15 year anniversary thing in November probably to get the mount.I just can't get myself to play BfA anymore. I literally logged in once after the new content to start the quests and haven't gone back. I am excited for Classic though, but we'll see if I end up sticking with it.
It's a tough zone at first but at 375 it should be becoming easier and it won't take long for you to get another 20 ilvls and for it to be much less troublesome. Also, those water elementals close to the starting area are actually one of the harder basic mobs in Naz since they have a high damage uninterruptible ability but you don't spend a lot of time in that area so it's not really a problem.Got a few 385 items and I am now iLvl 375+ and still almost die at the first quest mobs (the water elementals) in Nazjatar. If that is too low why did the introduction quest give me a 370 weapon? Kinda regret resubbing now.
Finally, if you're an EU player then the cataclysm time walking event will still be active for one more day. It drops 395 gear that can warforge (no azerite pieces) and if you pick up the event quest to run 5 dungeons from Chronicler Shoopa (Horde) or Toopa (Alliance) you get a 415 piece from normal Eternal Palace.
Oops, I know this but i'm so tired for some reason I thought it was still Tuesday. Thanks, will edit my post.The reset takes place overnight Tuesday->Wednesday over here; we're into the next week now.

I'm enjoying 8.2 far more than I enjoyed 8.0 and 8.1. My enjoyment increased once I got flying and was able to only focus on completing one zone. I just want them to extend the bodyguard system into the whole world and just let me have a friend of my choosing accompany me.
It would still probably be a Gilgoblin but options are great.
If you are on Herod, heavy consider going on Stalagg, I know my whole guild is having a vote about it sunday.
There's a group of guild that had a meeting for the Herod server, we counted nearly 10000 raiders. Without counting Good Squad & Grizzly, on each bring in nearly 1000 members. Plus all the random people and private server guilds.
From what i heard on the inside, Herod will NOT be an enjoyable launch with Insane queue's.
Again, I REALLY recommend not going to Herod.
