Everyone is waiting for nost2.0 which will be hosted by Valkyrie. We're currently waiting on server release. >When is the release? Beginning of December for Old PvP, end of December for Fresh PvP.
An announcement has been made on the valkyrie forums. >OLD NOST PVP (Name: Nostalrius PVP) will be released in a month. This has all your old level 60 chars for nostalgias sake. >NEW NOST PVP (Name: Elysium PVP) Brand new server, will be released 3 weeks after old nost.WE WILL BE ROLLING ON THIS SERVER !!! >what faction are we rolling?
Should I roll with my heart - a rogue/druid on Horde with Salty Dogs? Or should I roll with my brain, anticipate SD eventually going under,- and go priest/warlock on Alliance?

sshhhh, you see anything good being posted around here? and you're trying to persuade these people to go on old?
Nolan Sullivan
That thread is dead
Just like Elysium PvP will be dead.
Carter Green
they actually brought it back for some reason
Henry Sanchez
Go Horde Druid, roll with your heart, friend.
Joshua Walker
Sage in namefield doesn't work newfag
Your other thread is dead btw
Robert Baker
Both are pretty good, depends on what your preference is.
UD are qt as fuck and have really good animations, plus WoTF. Orcs are juicy and thicc and on demand dps racial is nice.
James Jones
but how else would he show everyone that hes trying to sage the thread
Dylan Allen
My advice would be to do whatever you want (cliche, I know) but the REAL advice would be to never ever EVER base your decisions on whatever Veeky Forums says it's doing. Seriously ever. I'd go as far as to tell you to avoid Veeky Forums guilds but that's going to be up to you anyhow. If you went with "your heart" and whatever Veeky Forums hordeside guild went nowhere, you'd have a fuckton of other options as far as guilds. Very very generally, if you're focused on playing with Veeky Forums no matter what, keep in mind that regardless of what these faggots will post in these threads, the vast majority of them go alliance every vanilla server, period. Whether that's for meme reasons like waifufaggotry or ironic/unironic ERP, or literally to crutch on fearward and paladins - that's up for debate. But it's what will end up happening. Again, no matter what faggots here will say.
Austin Rivera
Is there some ultimate 'quote this post to roll' vanilla wow post?
I'm talking all factions, races, proffesions, gender, everything

>Alliance in
The Alliance guild name is now, we all voted on it.
Luke Wood
Opinions on darkshore? I think its really fucking good for questing if you know the zone, sure beats being cucked in westfall against 90% of the alliance population
Isaiah Gray
does anybody actually follow through with those for long?
Aaron Torres
i told you its low tier in discord already
Aiden Garcia
Yup, /ssbg/ used to get 100-150+ unique posters.
Namefagging proliferated because people always asked for matches and many kept their NNID in the name field while posting. A Discord popped up and it got more and more use especially by the most prolific personalities namely Chazo (the general's "ringleader"). Then there were Discord wars between two opposing groups. Eventually people either joined one of the two discords or moved on to other forums for discussion/matches.
Heed this as a warning
Carter Rivera
Your pictures tells me that you are a terrible faggot. But Darkshore is pretty good, most guides will tell you to spend a lot of time there.
Anthony Martin
Yep this guy knows it, there's a lot of new people in these threads right now who don't know about how Veeky Forums always does the same exact thing every single server launch and this will be another repeat.
To the new people, don't even bother to join a guild until you hit lvl 60 and at that point you should be able to tell if the Veeky Forums guild on your faction is alive or dead and you can just join a good guild instead
Oliver Jenkins
I don't like either but westfall is garbage.
Daniel Kelly
nobody cares
Landon Morgan
I'm gonna do it Puddi
Ryder Cooper
I haven't been to /ssbg/ in forever, who was Chazo? Was he that one pikachu player that actually went to tournaments and was the only person in the thread who was good at the game?

Justin Howard

Charles Thomas
Westfall is good as shit for leveling a ton of the quests are just grinding mobs so you can complete them fast and the first instance for the game is literally right there too
I just can't wait to login and make a Troll Hunter. Or a Tauren Hunter.
FUCK I CAN'T DECIDE.
Adrian Hall
He's right. WF is garbage
Joshua Gray
oh he was the dedede autist, I remember him now
how the fuck did /ssbg/ let him take over the general
Alexander Morgan
t. nelf homo
Carson Wood
I kinda want to completely base my roll off random chance
Either way there will be a decent guild for me to play with, only thing id ignore would be spec for hybrid classes because no way would I bother playing something like enhance shaman endgame in vanilla for example, but if a rng thing told me to play fem orc shaman i'd totally do that
Henry Rodriguez
tauren think about how much better the initial leveling experience will be without 10k people standing next to you
Levi Martinez
I think Nost should introduce a few semi-custom things to help differentiate the server from a Blizzclone. That may help it avoid being shut down again.
I want Ogres on the Horde, dammit.
Jose Rogers
I'm up in the air on Tauren or Troll Shaman, too. And I think I'm doing Orc Rogue.
Fuck me too many choices.
Joseph Bell
>Sunscale Feather
David Scott
go back to your funserver
Dylan Nguyen
Blizzard baiting the french cucks by lying about the possibility of a legacy server shut Nost down. The russians running the show now have experience of hosting private servers and know not to fall for that trick again.
Camden Ross
So how much malware will nost be giving us due to the Russian touch?
Lincoln Lopez
Nost should introduce things that Blizzard should have introduced.
For instance, Ogres on the Horde, High Elves on the alliance. No Horde Paladin, no Alliance Shaman.
And introduce the PROPER race/class combinations.
A few I can think of...
Undead Paladin Dwarf Druid (Wildhammer)
I'm with him in that Nost should try to make a few classic themed changes to the game. Not "fun" bullshit. Actual balanced, tested, and integrated mechanics that fit vanilla.
Jonathan Cruz
Yea.
Nost should make bad classes like Ret paladins viable.
Nolan Rogers
Nost should create an enhanced vanilla experience. Not one that seeks to emulate Blizzard 100% with all the broken and out of place shit as well.
Carter Sanchez
>alliance should have 2 elf races It's like you want Horde to be 5% of the server.
William King
>the biggest draw of nost is that it tries to be as blizzlike as possible in the sea of fun servers >lets make it a funserver what could possibly go wrong xDDD
Are you retarded, just play on a custom server
Anthony Martin
nost should fix americas economy
Ayden Richardson
>Dwarf Druid
Interesting idea, what race would get Druid on Horde?
Dominic Walker
they are doing that
there's a reason why hunters can't farm DM:N and paladins aren't off soloing kazzak
Nathaniel Stewart
>Are you retarded, just play on a custom server
Can you link me to a custom server that is 100% Vanilla, except with one extra race per alliance/horde with balanced racials and a few different race/class combos that weren't present in Vanilla?
I don't think it exists.
Charles Kelly
So you want an additional race that's essentially just a different model? You can use a model viewer, they aren't bannable.
Joseph Thomas
The vanilla core is complete arse for scripting (I think people are still using the repurposed TBC core). Wotlk has a lot of potential for custon content tho.
Lucas Baker
I would be fine with Goblins on the Horde, but I would want them in the same style/voice as the classic Vanilla Goblins.
Not sure how you're going to balance their racials for Vanilla, though.
Andrew Nelson
I'm not well versed in vanilla, I know about kazzak getting reckonbombed but what is DM in that case? Dire Maul? Also how did hunters solo it? Mend pet spam?
Colton Morgan
No fucking way the vanilla Goblins look like ass, those models are shit.
Landon Gray
Well he organized a lot of shit, posted constantly and actually went to locals. Plus all the Discord shit.
It's just interesting how similar every general with multiplayer can be.
Nathaniel Cruz
>High Elves on the alliance
There are very few High Elves left, less than Darkspear Tribe Trolls. Almost all of them became Blood Elves.
Parker Rivera
Yeah goblins look like ass, do blood elves/high elves instead.
Jeremiah Ross
Undead Paladin and Dwarf Shaman would work really well, in my opinion.
I would probably never accept custom races. They'd just fuck up.
Hudson James
I was just putting out random ideas that would fit a Vanilla World of Warcraft server, and not turn it into a FUNSERVER LMAOOO NEON COLORSSS LEVEL 2500000 server.
Jayden Hill
>Undead paladin No. Holy Priest Undead is already a stretch even in Vanilla.
Stuff like Human and Undead hunters should have been in Vanilla because there's no lore reason someone can't hold a bow
Grayson Bennett
>I want to turn only decent vanilla server into funserver shithole! >cmon guys it's blizzlike!! why don't you agree with me topg.org/wow-private-servers/type/Fun-Realm/ Here you go Now leave
Ryder Hernandez
They could solo tribute runs with a lot kiting and feign death spam. I don't play hunter so I don't really know the specifics.
William Smith
>A few unique race/class combos >An additional player race on each side
Neither of those are wanting to turn it into a fun server.
But I feel like a 1:1 software clone is just going to get another cease and desist.
Caleb Diaz
yeah i mean lore wise undead priests fry themselves every time they cast a holy spell
Lincoln Brooks
Holy Paladin for Undead would be like a splinter group very devoted to the light, maybe once Naxxramas opens up they see how devout Sir Zeliek is that he's still a Paladin even in undeath. god those are just horrible.
Jayden Phillips
The ceast and desist was not even why they shut down, they believed they could get a job at blizzard so they complied to stay in good favor even though in reality if they said no blizzard wasn't going to bother following through with it
Ethan Bailey
Undead can use the light, they're just extremely devoted/masochist because it burns them
Robert Fisher
because despite this website being founded on the idea of anonymity it is full of massively insecure people that need nonstop attention to feel validated, Veeky Forums is just an easy way to get that without getting banned
Bentley Baker
Undead Paladin and Dwarf Shaman in vanilla would totally fucking destroy the game. The racials combined with the mechanics of putting those classes with those races into the vanilla core...
That would need like, so much testing, and it would permanently change pvp.
Lucas Kelly
Yeah, and adding anything like Ogres or High Elves to either faction, if it were going to be done properly, with PTR testing and racials being voted on by the community, would permanently change the entire game period. Just seeing an additional race in the cities, on top of their racials in every aspect, could change the game.
Even if you copied Blood Elf racials for the High Elves, they'd be on Alliance, and we have no idea what an Ogre would be like on Horde.
>But I feel like a 1:1 software clone is just going to get another cease and desist. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SERVER EVER GETS A CEASE AND DESIST. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING ONE, EVER.
It litearlly does not even take a lawyer to write up a cease and desist, very few servers actually cave and shut down. The only servers ever shut down directly by Blizzard have been either US hosted where they can easily sue, or that one server that charged their players money to play so blizzard was even able to sue for a pretty fucking high ammount on that.
Evan Roberts
There would be room for additional content once a "blizzlike" vanilla server has cleared naxx and completed it's patch cycle, but like others have said, that isn't the point of Nost. For better or worse it's trying to re-create as close as possible the "vanilla experience", or as close as you can get using 1.12 shit. That doesn't mean added stuff is a bad idea necessarily, and maybe down the line it could be a thing. A long way down the line, of course. I think we'd have official legacy before a private server managed to do something like that and make it not suck anyhow. For immediate shit like that, there are various funservers. I know at least one uses ogres for example, or did.
>Undead paladins and Dwarf shamans >paladins using WOTF >shamans with Dwarf racial No fuck off.
Jordan Cox
desu. i think a "funserver" with blizzard xp and drop rates would be great if all they added was new player races that were not op.
Kayden Hernandez
>Nostlysium
Ryan Thompson
What would be wrong with dwarf shaman? They already have totems to cleanse poison/disease.
Daniel Thomas
childhood is idolizing WoW adulthood is realizing Runescape makes more sense
Wyatt Nguyen
This
Joshua Peterson
Like said don't act like it's not common knowledge when you're obviously so new to private servers. The nost frogs were banking on the idea of blizzard hiring them so hard that they used the C&D as an excuse to close down. Literally every private server gets them and blizzard can't do shit about them since they're hosted outside of the US
Robert Peterson
>I'd make an Ogre Shaman though I would have bought and subbed for Legion if they introduced Ogres. It's too bad they never did, the best time for it would have probably have been WoD but no one cares what I think. I'm not certain how the timelines and lore work now, but I always thought the Ogri'la stuff would have worked as a great way to introduce player ogres, revamped as a starter zone and stuff. Oh well. I just like ogres, man.
Jordan Young
For instance, I'd like to see a Blizzlike Wrath that gives Tuskarr to the Horde and Vrykul or whatever to the Alliance.
Just a little bit of addition.
Grayson Allen
it would not change the game as much if you added a different looking race to a faction as much as adding paladins to horde or shamans to alliance would change the game.
nost has funserver droprates for 5man epics but it still feels sort of vanilla. its not too drastic a change.
Aaron Jones
Then I am all for seeing Ogres in their proper place on the Horde and High Elves where they belonged to begin with, alongside Humans and Dwarves in Stormwind.
Kevin Bennett
playable naga is the one I've always wanted, even though it'll never happen since they can't wear shoes
Oliver Garcia
yeah m8. i want my naga and arakoa too though. i will sub for retail if they add arakoa. coolest race in tbc and onwards imo
Luke Mitchell
Yeah, Blizzard fucked up big time.
All the way back in The Burning Crusade they were going to add Ogres to Horde and Pandaren to Alliance. They even showed the original Pandaren model at a blizzcon in the past.
