>that one faggot who keeps overzealously supporting Sylvanas in the new cinematic
what a fucking loser lmao

Which realm is Mandate of Heaven on?

Elysium

I think I am gonna start a new char tonight, which server is best? How is elysium doing with such a high pop? Are low level areas a pita at the moment?

Why does no one play Kronos or i've barely heard about it?

nighthaven? is that where my lolis at?

yes

Do yourself a favor and don't play at all.

zg fucking sucks

uh nuh u suck user

>evercommies

not even once

80% of the bolshevik revolution leaders were jews

fuck off u illerate name caller

is this server already on naxx?

Might as well be considering how dead it is.

Reminder to report and ignore server shilling.

calm down Madti, no more pugs
we promise

it has a lot to do with kronos having a rocky launch for the first 72 hours and the bugs being exposed by very popular streamers. they went to Nostalrius (an incredibly buggy server for its first 3 months) instead.
After that, it did only moderately well until Nostalrius closed, at which point it exploded in population until Valkyrie picked up the Nost core and access to the account database to restore characters from Nostalrius.
This was incredibly short lived (people within the first 10 hours only got their characters back or some shit) but enough die hards were willing to roll fresh as Kronos was somewhat advanced at that point (AQ war effort over with) and enough streamers were returning to Valkyrie's Elysium to pack it.

At this stage, Kronos is at the end of its life cycle. Naxx is out and done. The new fresh Kronos server is out in April or May. So there's your answer.

If you want to play then wait for Everyst to launch and see how bad it is. If it sucks then go Elysium.

Look how pathetic this is.

I hope you aren't literally spamming the lookingforgroup channel because everyone uses World instead.

is it still friday?

Blizzard servers are going to be packed dude
Anyone who doesn't think so is a moron

tfw not allowed to act cutesy on discord

you must be a shitter cause world chat is constantly spammed by people looking for tanks

Hes a shill dude.

A shill for fucking what???
This fucking server is DEAD

wait you cant lagstab anymore? i made build for this specifically like year ago and now your saying i cant do it anymore?? i dont have gold for respec..

nvm lions were just bunch of bitches

tell me the chinese horde guilds so i know who to camp

I'm only level 20 and have been swapping guilds finding the right one but each one everyones organizing and talking about raids, just find a guild to play with

I don't know how to feel about this.

How long does honor calc take?

its usually 10~ minutes

How long do these resets usually take?

its usually 4~ hours

Why would you play on a shitty private server when classic is being made?

So you can get your characters deleted for the billionth time and basically progress for months to nothing and be burned out for classic blizz wow?

Ah, damn. Thanks for the info.

>immediately devolves into shitslinging between irrelevant guilds on Chinese-funded private servers

because its fun and i can play on both?

Becasue it will be a year for classic to be released, why does it concern you what others do with their time?

are the servers down?

Classic wont have this problem

Always are.

Downloaded the one from Ian, is this safe lads? Done a scan of my own but not 100% sure, any help in confirming it is safe?

It's 100% dolphin porn.

Shit man I can't get caught with dolphin porn lol I'm assuming everyone here has done a comb through themselves otherwise they wouldn't promote it here?

Because it can be spend instead helping out other people. If you're in western Europe you might spend that time volunteering to help refugees. Kind of like doing quests eh?

redpill me on dank budz collective and their members

thinking of joining

Any tips for staying ahead of the zerg when classic hits? I'm nervous of getting stuck at the bottleneck in durotar for certain quests. Do you think it'd be better to grind out the starting area?

I want to play shaman so I'll probably have to quest until 30~, starting to mainly grind before that would take way too long..

I want to piss bottle my way to satyrs and grind them for that sweet sweet felcloth with no competition, as soon as possible

They´re pretty Dankk

>Any tips for staying ahead of the zerg when classic hits?

You will be ahead of 95% of the players with minimal effort. Don't worry too much.

Also the servers are guaranteed to crash at the start anyway

ICE
COLD
PUSSY

1) Hunters and warlocks kill mobs the fastest. Paladins and warlocks get free mounts, which lets them level faster. Hunters, druids, and shaman all have speed boosts. By virtue of class mechanics alone, warlocks are arguably the best class to stay ahead of the curve speed-wise, but hunters would do better Alliance-side on a PvP server;
2) Training mining or herbalism while leveling will be pointless when a server immediately launches, unless you're going to become a blacksmith / engineer / alchemist. There will be no 60s to purchase your mats. Leveling skinning by itself and selling it to the vendor is the easiest way to make money while leveling on a fresh server;
3) Follow a guide to the letter. Everyone else will be exploring Azeroth again after years of having Catazeroth. Did you know we've had destroyed Azeroth longer than we had Vanilla Azeroth?
4) Don't do dungeons, because it will make you dependent on other players.
5) Make sure you have two full weeks of free time. Take a vacation. Devote all your time and energy towards leveling your character. You can do this and still remain healthy if you take breaks and remember to eat and shower. If you have a life to interfere with your leveling, then you will level slower than others. Prepare your meals so you can get through two weeks without having to make anything yourself.

I grinded out a rogue on ely and had plenty of money for mount at 40 by virtue of pickpocketing/killing hundreds of yetis and getting a ton of rogue's diaries.. Also snapjaws gave decent cash for lvl 30~. I'm tempted to stray from the guides to grind snaps specifically for a few levels because their vendor loot is pretty good.

Will skinning give me as much money as pickpocketing on my rogue?

No, but skinning can be done by all classes and is guaranteed to always be at a high enough skill, unless you're doing something incredibly wrong. All classes can grind out a mount, especially rogues who grind on humanoids, but time spent earning money is time wasted on leveling.

You won't be able to tag mobs in the starter area

level to 5 using exploration so you can skip ahead to brill goldshire etc
Plan your paths ahead of time

Wouldn't you run out of things to discover without heading to barrens etc and getting 2-shot by every mob?

-exploration XP at the very beginning might be a good idea if there are routes
-don't sleep
-always have food/drink
-follow a guide closely but don't be afraid to skip quests/grind/do zones out of order if you run into congested areas (as long as you know which quests are important chains)
-don't sleep

Bind your best tagging ability to your mousewheel, get ahead early on.

TG and silverpine is enough to get to level 5 on explore alone, you just need enough to get past the hundreds of scrubs competing over very limited spawns in the starting sub-zone

Is this realm alive I'm looking to roll here

>Did you know we've had destroyed Azeroth longer than we had Vanilla Azeroth?

>Did you know we've had destroyed Azeroth longer than we had Vanilla Azeroth?

Is... it... over?

I'll be playing with friends, think it'd be better to group up at durotar start and immediately leave to kill lvl 5~ mobs partied? We'll have 5 people, idk if it'd be better to go as 5 or 2/3

No level 5 mobs will wipe a party of level 1, you won't land any hits and they'll be crushing blows

just do a quick 30 minute explore/dead run to hillsbrad or ashenvale until you get to 5 then hearth back and level in mostly-quiet 5+ durotar etc

I see, we'll play around with when to stop exploring/start grinding to see what ends up the fastest.

grinding is faster but not on day 1 because classic doesn't have scaling spawn rates or private mobs. You quest and grind only as fast as the server respawns mobs and at level 1 you and the thousand other level 1s are sharing the same mobs, you'll be stuck there for hours waiting for quest mobs to respawn and hoping to tag them first.

No no, I meant whether to explore as a group to level 2/3/4/5, then hearth back and start grinding mobs outside the zerg level range/area to get further ahead and start questing. What level to get to from exploration before we return and start killing

Level 5 is generally when most people move from the noob sub-zone to their starting zone's respective Razor Hill / Goldshire.

Only kind of refugee related volunteering I'd do would be going to the border to shoot them as they come.

The server is dead

As long as you don't have any real life obligations you can push ahead of the pack through brute force and after that it's easy to stay ahead. But expect to be playing at least 16 hours a day. It's also a good idea to do 30h+ on the launch day. After the initial push it really comes down to how much you can physically grind.

>imagine playing on a sever that can't even reach 7k pop with 6k chinks playing

Isn't this the most populated server out of all of them though?

No

yes but high pop these days just means loaded to the brim w/ chinks and russians who dont communicate or group outside of their language cliques

>TG and silverpine is enough to get to level 5 on explore alone
it's not, that's a bad meme
gets you to level 3 and then you either go from there or do the rest in durotar

Whats the best thing to do then?

Just stay on starting zones trying to tag mobs?

Wow, theres a fucking ton of people playing on this server. So many in fact that i forgot how annoying it was to fight for mobs. Guess my glasses were a little rose tinted after all

Segmented sleeping.
2 hours of sleep a day, all REM sleep

Bots ;)

how do you do this?

>glasses were a little rose tinted after all
The original servers had a fraction of the population that Elysium and Nostalrius had. Your "glasses" arent even that tinted because there is no fucking offhours in this server due to EUrotrash and the chinks.

Six 20-minute naps every four hours, or four 30-minute naps every six hours.

how do you do that with hour long queues?

why don't private servers have a Chinese server and a Russian server where people can speak the language they speak in game 24/7?
The server would be so much healthier is everyone could actually understand each other atleast

i'm not playing on release fuck that clusterfuck best to wait a few days and enjoy your leveling experience

Because most PS admins get kickbacks from gold sellers.

Man this place is dead as fuck.

is lights hope....................

What's the point of playing? No, seriously, what is the point of playing? To soothe the itch, to feed the addiction? There's no one on this server worth playing with, since the clique is firmly established. Shitposting in guildchat or on the Discord can be done better across all of Veeky Forums, without running a program to do so. There's no reward for getting to 60, just more time to waste. There's no experience to be relived, since 90% of the server are either farmers or bots. There's no real-life reward for getting BiS on a private server.

This place is dead, because there's nothing here.

PvE or PvP server?
