anyone interested in official blizzard servers is a fucking retard

I'm impressed

I can't wait to go human rogue on one

post >yfw
without

it's going to be nu-Blizzlike with changes like transmogs and namechange, we're all waiting for true Blizzlike Crestfall.

I will bite.
why?

so wait, should i play in elysium now? we dont know anything about retail vanilla, maybe it turns to shit, and lights hope is closing when blizzard launches it.
i dont want to lose all my progress in LH

Daily reminder to ignore private shills and wait patiently until the official servers release. Don't burn yourself out on the game before it's even released.

retarded tranny spotted

POST YOUR FACE WHEN AFTER NAXXRAMAS CLEARS BLIZZARD ANNOUNCES

TWILIGHT HIGHLANDS - BASTION OF TWILIGHT RAID
HYJAL - BATTLE FOR HYJAL RAID
KARAZHAN RAID
ULDUM - THRONE OF 4 WINDS RAID
GHOSTLANDS OPEN - ZULAMAN RAID

ALL AT LEVEL 60

Should I sub to retail with a wow token now and spend from now until Classic farming gold to pay for classic with the new gold to blizzbucks conversion?

Autistic neet, btw.

>2 types of player will play vanilla
>the franchise loving family dad and the jobless pserver elitist

>since familydad is the guy who will but the stuffed murloc animals and the ingame mounts in the end blizzard will listen
>vanilla will get more friendly for casuals
>tripple honor weeksend
>no prequests

We will all be back on lights hope within a year

all this stuff isn't far off but it'll be region locked and pop capped too

fresh retail guild will be called

everyst is handing out accounts today and going full yolo live

50% server is stable and extremely fun
50% total crash and burn

either way it will be a good time

i too am considering this

We don't know if you'll be able to pay for classic sub with gold.

why don't you get a fucking job dude.

WoW Vanilla
More like
World of having to farm on a beast hunter, for me, the best PvE spec

That actually sounds like a good time.

no chinks and no my 9 thousand
fuck it im willing to see blizzards dream land
they seem really intent on keeping it old school
but i dont blame people here for being sceptical im quietly optimistic.

>he's going to pay a subscription for vanilla wow
lmao

Why wouldn't they just play retail instead?

They already have all that on retail.

Vanilla will be for us autists

>soccer dads and pserver pedos

if Legacy won't be popular with the kids they might as well delete it because that just means it's not a fun game. I mean sodapoppin loves it and he's the embodiment of the nuBlizzard shill.

>they might as well delete it because that just means it's not a fun game
this is true.

Where can I find which class ST quests are in the game?

>tfw sold my character 1 month ago expecting blizz to announce vanilla servers

>he's going to pay 15$ a month for a 1342342 year old game

...

is there an fmv for this?

>that site

so what's the deal with having two different generals ? can't we just unite classic and light's hope ?

no

How many times have you watched the announcement trailer so far?

Me I'm at about 20

this is a purists vs QoL general and has literally nothing to do w/ actually playing the game

This general will probably be dead in 3 days, and will be rolled into light's hope

>Thinking trannys can be civilized.
Elysium fags are on suicide watch, let them died in their 3 pph thread.

i want to fuck that gnome

Best Timeline.

Is it coming before the new expansion?

most likelly at the end of it

fuck blizzard

>Tank/Healer for first char?
Or should i roll mage to make phat cash?

How to report a private server?

Well that sucks

So is this going to be some kind of progression server thing? Because I hate that shit

The main reason I don't play wow is because the loop of "work like a bitch for the best gear in the game, 5 months later new patch, higher itemlevels, the shit you worked so hard to get is now outclassed by catch-up gear handed to new players for free to get them started" is stupid as fuck.

Probably, so they can siphon people away from it after a couple months when the expac hits. Either that, or a year after the expac release, to attract the inevitable player drop off that happens every time.

I agree, the current paradigm of character progression is fucked. Blizzard has a real problem with power level management over time. But we have no idea what the classic servers will even be like at this point.

Probably 1 month after the 1st raid is activated

xth for tranny butts

>Just can't decide on a class, only the faction

So WoW's going down the path of Old-school Runescape

I heard it has more players than modern runescape

>I know you're not ready to talk about the release date here. It sounds like you're at the very early stages of development here and as you've mentioned, you're still in the hiring process. But are we talking about months of development before this goes live, or years?
J. Allen Brack: This is a massive effort. This is a very, very significant effort. I would not expect it to be soon. We actually don't know when we're going to release it. I know that's a generic answer that we give for all of our Blizzard titles, but with this one, we don't actually know how long it will take.
it'll take atleast 2 years

rip boyz

>classic wow announced
>no release date
>they put it off forever
i want to believe
i really do

Vanilla progression is different though to everything that came after, There are items from Ragnaros the first raid. That will take you though Naxx, some are even best in slot for the entire vanilla content, but have extremely low drop rates. There are also random drop greens and quest/dungeon blues which are BiS until Naxx.

You also don't stop running previous raids either when a new one is released, you will be clearing Molten Core through the entire vanilla lifetime for Thunderfury's and Hand of Rags, running ZG every reset for the Heart of Hakkar for the world buff and Mounts, you will even be running Dungeons for raid buffs, supplies and materials for Enchants.

The gear progression in vanilla is one of its better qualities.

tfw there's going to be real erp on Legacy and not this cringe underage "le ironic gay if you read" shit.

tfw 1.06 babby, and I genuinely don't like BC

Kungen was fucking RIGHT

youtube.com/watch?v=9MNFWhCw8dg

Raiding is the cancer that killed wow.

okay classic sub is more expensive than retail sub
what do ya do?

Make a Hunter or Mage as your first character, something that is good for gold farming early into a servers life, use the profit to invest in boe mounts/future raid materials and then fund your "main" and level it easily with twink items and enchants

I'm not paying 15 dollars for a decade old game, I'm staying on light's hope or Nighthaven.

>To run Classic servers, Blizzard would have to build an entirely separate server and client architecture different to the current version World of Warcraft uses today. It would mean running two separate, very large MMOs at the same time—a massive technical challenge.

How can this small time indie company meet this market's demand that millions of people are intrested in throwing subscription money at?
It would require some starting capital, experience in the subject and many willing customers.
wait...

is druid good for money making?

>1.1 classic server patch 4/10/18
>Enabled Molten Core

>Druid
>Can not be affected by crushing blows while in Bear Form

>Paladin
>While using a shield Judgement will Taunt

>Increased effect of spirit by 30%

Tier list for classic wow classes?

Pretty much this
Hunter is god mode for servers early on. Unless you're pushing for server first MC.

they already said they have a way to run Vanilla on their current client.

warrior

Yes if you farm Herbs + Mining and are on a pvp server.

>Interrupt someone picking herb/mining
>Entangling Roots
>Loot node
>/giggle
>Cheetah away
>Drop combat
>Mount up
>Repeat

You can also do this to mobs, which is extremely helpful.

Who here gonna corpse camp any gurl gaymur streamer they see leveling?

Private servers are emulated, Blizzard wants a native functioning server.

They all have at least 1 top tier spec, except warlocks who you only need 1 of

>except warlocks
w-what?

>tripple honor weeksend
wouldn't make any difference

He's operating under the premise that outside of 1 Warlock you're better off just bringing a Mage instead
Locks get plenty of spots in reality

Remember that there's going to be someone who will do vanilla better than retard Blizzard can.

wtf the link shut my computer off

have fun with only 1 banish, 1 curse, and 1 soulstone

why is it more expensive?
