>What is this? Blizzard announced legacy servers, as we wanted them, at Blizzcon 2017.
>Where can I learn more? There's not much info out right now, other than development has started - and that it'll stay true to the original experience.
Plausible Tom Chilton conspiracy below: >After working on World of Warcraft from its alpha in 2004 to the release of Legion, in late 2016 Chilton announced that he would be leaving the team to "[focus] on another project within the company". note: Blizzard said only one person was working on this until announcement so don't expect quick release
>go to mmo-champion >they think servers will be empty after 2 months >they think that people only wanted the servers for nostalgic reasons >they think comments like „LOL YOU GUYS DESERVE ONLY VANILLA AND NOTHING ELSE- TOUGH LUCK.“ is a way to degrade classic fans >they think the fact that you couldn't pull more than 2-3 mobs without dying is only because people „back then“ were worse- today everything would be easy because people have more skill >they ignore the fact that Nostalrius is basically present since two years with a steady population of 7-12k players online at the same time and that most of their „vanilla is bad nobody would like it“ arguments are negated by this fact
Really activates my almonds guys. And those are the people that always said „if you don't like LFR/LFD/flying mounts don't use them. It's Blizz decision if they want to add stuff or not“.

Just wanted to point out because I keep seeing people say this shit on all sorts of forum. The people bitching about having old school graphics only better fucking be playing at 4:3.
I know these people are mostly underage and private server shitters but still. It's getting annoying.

Anyone want to run scholo with me?
Parker Miller
And you'll play the game in 4:3?
Andrew Wilson
1 sub for both. That way current retail players will try it and they'll be able to buy the new loot boxes they implement in vanilla :)

So...this is the state of puristcucks lol...
Angel Robinson
like you cant actually argue with those people, they have managed to delude themselves into somehow thinking we're the welfare kiddos, which is the irony of the ages coming from those who actively play welfare epic/legendary party consolation prize craft or whatever its called.
Nicholas Lewis
Wait so if they improve on Vanilla for their Classic server why not add jewelcrafting and sockets into the game?
Ethan Scott
did you just assume Vanilla raids are 20-mans?

get out you dweeb

Justin Phillips
why would anyone read anything a retail cuck has to say about Vanilla?
Daniel Martin
Fuck off
Zachary Cook
Not him, but I genuinely would, if I could get my hands on a working CRT, either for free or on the cheapo. Vanilla doesn't have wide screen option, so your FoV is the same even on 16:9. A wider screen gives more real estate for addons and shit, but I don't use that many and would rather see everything without having to move my eyes. I'm not going windowed mode, cos it bothers me tho.

Brody Lopez
That's funny, I haven't played WoW in 10 years and I just created my build on a whim based on what seemed most reasonable without even remembering all the skills and content. Yet pretty close to the optimal meta build, if that's the one you have.
Vanilla is so easy.
Leo Garcia
Yeah, but what do you need the second warlock for?
Thomas Stewart
what you just replied with wasn't an argument nor an answer
Caleb Perry
I'll literally never invite a dps priest/paladin/druid/ shaman depending on faction
Carter Diaz
At the end of BfA when the content draught begins. Then we will be able to call ourselfs Blizzbulls
Noah Russell
Because it only happens when they have BIS in late raiding tiers
Jonathan Bailey
>simple = easy Oh you sweet summer child
Jason Flores
but warrior is a pure class?
why is it that people who hate healing keep rolling healing classes when they already know in advance that their class is shit for DPS.
I can understand if you already have a max level hybrid and want to switch specs but the server isn't even out yet?
Jack Price
fuck, everywhere i read about classic wow it's people demanding class rebalance and dual spec. i think they're gonna force blizzard to ruin it with all kinds of little "improvements". fucking retailcucks.
Levi Hill
Yeah I've been looking through vanilla talent calculators. So many of the talents are utterly worthless, so it's really easy to see what's optimal.
Wyatt Martin
Why are there so many people against classic wow? Fucking retailfags are scared I bet. It's not that they want it to fail, they NEED it to fail.
Lucas Reyes
Reminder that anyone at or below the age of 20 cannot possibly have played vanilla and can't have a relevant opinion on it.
Robert Gray
you need full tier 3 to even compete with the worst DPS classes as fury in raids.
The one concern with classic is that all of the people who have played private servers for years are going to just bring the "rush to 60, play the meta we know everything about" mentality. I hope its a small enough set of people that it won't be too apparent tht everyone knows exactly what to do , in the most optimum way possible. That was the fun of vanilla for me, and as someone who hasnt played it since genuine retail, I will be blind once again.
Ayden Butler
It's a group composed mainly of private server and younger people.
Jayden Sanchez
>hurr durr durr hurr Group finder kills the community, shrinks the world and makes it feel like dungeons are being done with NPC teammates. Dual specs make it possible for tanks and healers to kill shit when they aren't raiding without needing to spend all their gold.
William Perez
I don't get it, doesn't Vanilla natively support widescreen?
Evan Nguyen
people had 1920x1080 back in like 1998 lmao
Daniel Stewart
If it ends up being a real 1.1 server at launch that should change things up. Everybody's guides and optimizations are based on 1.12.1.

Gabriel Hernandez
There will always be hardcore people that get to 60 within 3 days and clear mc by the end of the first week, that's fine and I like it when people keep it competitive but I take the game slowly and enjoy both the leveling and the end game content and don't care if I have a ret or boomkin in my raid and there's a lot of people like me even though we joke about the underplayed specs.
Thomas Johnson
>leftist that gets offended by mean words is still in this general
Bentley Watson
So I'm wondering. Obviously we want vanilla, but how would you feel about some little changes? I'm not talking about changing talents but more like qol things that were desperately needed.
I don't think there's a warlock player on the planet that would complain about soul shards being changed so they fucking stack. Wouldn't fix the issue of them being treated like a taxi and vending machine service or the hour before every raid to farm them, but making each shard take up a separate item slot for every single one pushed it beyond retardation.
Or using the updated graphics, character models and effects which is a purely cosmetic thing.
You have to be careful with things like this though since once you justify one qol change you can justify a thousand others, and then it isn't vanilla anymore.
Dominic Carter
>after a few years Blizzard move it on to TBC
how would you feel about that? remove flying mounts and I'm there.
Wyatt Richardson
the community has spoken ... I think we need to have some QoL improvements like balanced classes and retuned raids/5mans to accommodate a mode modern audiance.
Jeremiah Carter
Does he have a point?
Noah Long
I wouldn't mind that but I would prefer if they kept it in Vanilla and just released new content/raids and finished up some unfinished zones
Lucas Richardson
why would you need a rogue? also 3 warlocks maybe?
Evan Evans
>retail players calling Vanilla fans younger people

Adding TBC servers and offering free transfers to them would be fine, but replacing the vanilla servers with them wouldn't. I can see the argument against, though, since the community isn't gonna be huge in the first place, splitting it further might not be a great idea.
Brody Cooper
there's a fov fix
Austin Jackson
It's a troll campaign and it's vague on purpose. I thought this was obvious.
David Gray
why would they not release a Vanilla, Wrath and BC server all at once. do retail babs actually think Vanilla was a good expansion compared to BC or pre-nerf cata?
what's this meme about "Classic" meaning just Vanilla servers, do you think they're recreating the entire expansion from scratch? they have all the files backed up.
Ryan Garcia
>speak with normie friends about classic server >two of them are eager to do world PVP and bash alliance players all day long while leveling together >another one constantly goes off daydreaming >Oh i want vanilla but I want the new character models and higher resolution and dungeon browser and flying and and and and
