we're wow classic general now lad

Considering that Blizzard is now actually making use of their classic IP, I expect them to start going after private servers harder.

>trump is president

Anyone loving the SALT from the rankers/devilsaur famers right now? Their chracters and the gold they havent sold is now worthless, im loving every second of it

IM SO FUCKING HYPED
youtube.com/watch?v=HSZIej-ZraE

what do i do untill classic?
level a rogue on lights hope and pvp?

Don't play WoW, let yourself be fully fresh for the true fresh server

Reminder that we had a literal prophet in our midst for the last week.

You think the Chinese aren’t gonna play? LMFAO

please dont leave White's Hope...
WoW Classisc isnt worth it...
it wont be an authentic Vanilla WoW experience without all the chinks...
*coughs up blood*

anyone actually worried this will bomb due to the fact that it's pay to play?

no... stop.....
you think you do but you don't...
you think you do but you don't...
you think you do but you don't...
you think you do but you don't...
you think you do but you don't...
you think you do but you don't...

find a job, make cash, buy a really good chair

you can tell that fucker was excited over it but wanted to act cool and all for the camera

It's #1 on reddit all, no way this shit is going to bomb. Normies in their 30s are dying for nostalgia on an official server

Should I play

>fem orc warrior
>fem orc rogue
>fem undead warrior
>fem undead rogue

for pve raiding on official vanilla server

Fresh wins again.

what do you think of this article /lhg/
could the prophecies be true?
could we have untainted official legacy servers?
or will activision once again ruin our FUCKING LIVES REEEEEEEEEEEEE

/ourgirl/

No, I don't think 100% of people that play private servers are poor fags.

...

>yfw classic wow is a failure and he was right all along

fresh™

> fem undead
don't ever play fem undead melees

Going to log in and hug THE FUCKING SHIT out of this shortstack cutie.
Fucking number 1 waifu in vanilla.

To be 100% honest I wouldn't mind rebalanced specs ans solely that. Would make leveling more interesting this time around at least.

However, knowing that they would fuck this up, I rather no compromises were made.

>alex sperging out again

You neets looking forward to not being able to afford legacy?

w-what if gummy was working for blizzard all along? the 4-hour release was just used to test the waters for how popular it would be and it turned out to be beyond blizzard's expectations. what if they're going to use his scripts and everything is ready and they release fresh™ a month from now? brehs???

jokes on you, I've been saving up GBP for years just for this.

is he ever not sperging out

>turn onto alex stream
>first thing i hear
>???: maybe change to hearthstone?
>alex:SHUT THE FUCK UP

you have 1 year to rack up enough money to play blizzard legacy wow for 2 years

Feels good being an oldfag and having experienced all Vanilla content lovingly scipted by Blizzard.
Now you'll get a chance to feel these feels with me.

>has well paying job
>only modern gaming that interests me is from software game
>honestly thinks vanilla was the peak of mmorpgs

nah I'm feeling fine as fuck

See you on the other side cuties!

...

>playing fem races
just kys

What are you gonna roll on RETAIL PROGRESSION VANILLA /wowc/?

Undead Warlock for me.

t. never played retail vanilla that was infested with chinese

anyone else got banned?

Fem Undead Warrior to duo with my generic Male Undead Rogue as we rape and pillage retail tourists on our way to 60

>going to be levelling with all of you cocksuckers on F R E S H official legacy servers within the year
feels GUD

EU servers m'lard

woah manlett looks exactly like that gnome mage

>played orc warlock on Nost
>orc warlock on Kronos
>orc warlock on Elysium
What do I do bros? I can't take it again, but warlock is so self-sufficient.

>if it's 100% blizzlike

NE Druid

>If they add rebalanced specs

Dwarf Paladin

Literally nothing wrong with reblancing to make dead specs actually viable.

Probably undead mage, just like I did back in the day

>Father... Is it... over?
>No private server shitstorm rules forever, my son.

Hopefully they make specs viable in vanilla

I mean shit, it's one of the worst things about the game

but i guess you guys love the shit game play

Did they provide any actual details about their vanilla servers or was it just "W-We didn't think you d-did but you do"

I don't trust blizzactivision to not ruin it.

alright hype over, when the fuck is this shit coming out? I dont want to wait a fucking year. i literally have leukemia

Human Warrior, like it was on Nost. I love lvling humans warriors.
Yet, i fucking hate Warrior vs Freeze mage matchup, fucking hate. Probably this time will be less pve, more pvp. Maybe for lulz will use fists( db.vanillagaming.org/?item=19896 like this)

What is azeroth worth?

eat shit faggot go play your battle of azeroth DOA expansion and don't forget to opt out the world pvp option lmao

>2015
>nost releases
>so fucking excited
>makes a Gnome Warrior that I had back in the day, same name and features
>get to level 16, burned out
>also too many austimo neets flooding every zone
>"maybe it was just nostalgia"
>fuck it, roll NE Druid, class and race I've never played
>instant fun
>level that motherfucker to 60 over the course of the next months

Just remember to try something new if you feel burned out.

>i literally have leukemia
You ok senpai?

how much does the game change really, if you tweak numbers on balance/feral/shadow/ret/prot/arcane/enhancement/elemental ?

No details yet.
Read this article for clues. ->

Fun world pvp and finding creative ways to 1vX is my favourite part of vanilla, so it's mage, warlock or druid really

Mage.

have you found your dad yet

nelf hunter ofc

Jokes on you, I invested in Bitcoin.

fem human warrior

>no more shitslav private servers full of corruption and chinese
>no more shitty streamers like alexensual and tomato man
praise allen j brack

You thought you wanted it...

there's important reasons why the specs don't work
balance is designed to not be as good as a mage and is mana hungry.
feral is held back by debuff cap and a lack of good items.
Shadow requires to many debuff slots
Ret is just a shitty version of Enhancement
Enhancement is just a RNG version of ret
Prot has mana issues and no taunt
Arcane HAS FUCKING NOTHING going for it spellwise or talent wise. you'd need to redo the tree.
elemental doesn't have a warlock curse buffing their damage no CoE or CoS. CoE doesn't include nature for some reason?

I'm sure i haven't properly listed all the problems or even the major problems.
but its not just about tweaking the numbers.

to redo the sepcs would take alot of work

ATTENTION BLIZZLIKE RETARDS:

Guess what, Nost wasn't fucking blizzlike, and you mongoloids ate that shit up.

The most notable change was the population cap being several times higher than retail, which ended up being of it's defining features.

Reworked specs (I'm talking simple balance changes to make more than 1/3 of them useful) would improve the game tremendously, as well as make it fresh to experience again. Don't go full autismo if blizzard decides to tinker with some broken stuff from a 13 year old game.

...

NO MORE CHINA, BOOOOOYS

How can Private Servers even compete? Blizzard is not going to fuck this up, they understand how important it is.

I bet they will even patch all the bugs and ridiculous things like Naked Rogue Infinite Stunlock, it's going to be a Vanilla game but refined to it's absolute state of perfection.

mfw phoosy goes back to being a nobody with zero power

a little tweaking, >16debuffs on boss, maybe dual spec are the most i'd go with QoL improvements

blizz classic will likely have xrealm BGs, and I don't give a shit if dungeons take longer to find. 16k people on nost was fucking unplayable anyway

THERE'S 100'S OF QOL YOU COULD JUSTIFY IN WOW
I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM ALL

Fem undead warrior

t. fem undead fury main

you think if they try, it ruins the game?
perhaps they fix all this shit, and scale the content to adjust for increased variability?
this is where I get the feeling making vanilla blizz servers is going to be a mistake
>"I played enhance since cata and now I cant play my spec wahh"
this may be a giant shit show

why not?

They already confirmed there will be no xrealm features what so ever.

>80-90 percent of all players who try vanilla will quit

FUCK

YOU

ASMONGOLD

Ni hao ba ti zhao wei

*trembles*

and im guessing classic will be closer to nost than true blizzlike. no one wants to use the talents/skills from launch. i'd say a population cap of 5k would be a good middle ground.

based

First 40 lvls at Warrior pretty boring and hard, yes, yet later it's fucking awesome.

The population cap is probably going to be the biggest change (if everything goes as it should). People that called 4-5k pop servers dead servers are going to be in for a surprise.

They better not force me to use their shitty pixar models and spastic animations.

WoW's current art style is just disgusting to look at.
