Thomas Howard
I'm hyped as balls fellas
I couldn't help myself from trying out a vanilla classic server over the past few days. In an effort to avoid too much nostalgia and also preserve the experience for Classic Servers, I rolled the opposite faction and a very different class to what I originally played
Still fun as hell. Almost immediately more satisfying than retail. God damn.
Hunter Hall
>wow >hard
Your post was about him not taking any gathering professions and how he'll be out in a month, Im saying he wont be because all streamerfags will give him everything he needs
Jose Rivera
AoE farming in BRD I believe is pretty normal/expected for them munz$$$$ ...been a long fucking time though, not sure what gear you'd want
Samuel Allen
I was implying that he'll be out because he won't be able to deal with a warrior since nothing post LK was headbutting a wall tier that was leveling a poorfag warrior Not even that but i can guarantee that they'll all be on PvE servers because they are 2pooked and bad to deal with ganking
Austin Evans
Yeh, Im sure the popular streamer will just be STRUGGLING with all those gear and item donations
Aiden Nelson
Yet he'll still be the shitter player in a vacuum Struggling with a class alone makes you better in the long run

Not doing hunter or priest, levelled those on nost.

plot twist: the tank did take damage anyway
Dylan Gonzalez
i know that feel
Michael Hall
how the fuck did he took damage? i soloed the whole place as 24 warlock with imp
Grayson Morgan

shammy also
nothing hurts more than getting 1shot by a windfury
Colton Scott
>triggering Has the answer ever not been rogue?
Nathaniel Brown
Can't decide whether to level a mage or hunter first to make maximum shekels, or just pick a priest/warrior and level it. Any advice?
Luke Barnes
mage or hunter
Camden Diaz
You can make a lot of money as priest also.
Just play frugally and have people pay you to heal in instances.
Isaac Phillips
Spriest low key triggers the fuck out of people
Parker Martinez
get shekels with a warlock but really, anything but warrior is fine
Lucas Brown
also feral is pretty bad to encounter early on the only pay you get as priest for healing is a cumsoaked robe, shut up and heal, slut
Zachary Bailey
You solo'd the whole on WC on classic as a level 24 lock with imp?
I don't believe that
Eli Wilson
Can't wait to roll holy paladin and be generally helpful to people

Matthew Parker
So I'm in Japan for the foreseeable future but still want to play this when it comes out. I checked out retail WoW and it recommended me 'Asia' which just has Chinese servers (I don't know Chinese, just JP and EN)
So then I tried North America and that had some 'Oceanic' servers based in Australia I guess, but my ping to both US and Aus was about 200. I'm guessing I'd end up forced in Aus to find a raiding guild I can schedule my time around.
tl;dr is an Oceanic Classic server likely and if so, how big a deal is having 200 ping?
Robert Ward
No big deal if you lag around the place and experience delays, you're just adding to the authenticity.

Benjamin Lewis
> fem undead melee biggest mistake right there
Parker Lopez
fem undead melee animations are patrician
Aiden Stewart
yeah, but no one gives a fuck if you gank them as femdead. Femdead players are just weird losers.
Everyone thinks male undead rogues are shitlords, and they all get appropriately mad when fighting them.
Thomas Ortiz
patrician tier garbage?
Hudson Clark
Especially the claw animations, fuck me it's unique compared to any other race.
James Ward
well if your goal is to trigger people with your race/class combo, then gnome warrior wins hands down. Alliance players are all numb to male undead rogues. Seeing anything other than one in vanilla is a surprise
Daniel Miller
If youre horde and you roll anything but orc or troll as a rogue youre a living meme
Sebastian Mitchell

Dominic Ross

Ayden Cruz
fem gnomes in general are pretty good for triggering people, i'd argue they're the equivalent to male undead
Ayden Smith

Lucas Murphy

All shit in comparison to Fear immunity for a couple seconds.
Anthony Bennett
Don't forget the pink hair.
Lincoln Morales
Can confirm as an edgy teen undeadlock. Getting killed by gnome rogues and warriors was the ultimate humiliation.
Jackson Williams
Priest. Mind Control. Jump off cliffs/into lava.
Jaxson Turner
Best rogue race for alliance?
Jackson Cruz
Rogue. Stoneform for clearing dots so you can stealth helps a ton.
Christopher Wood
human by a mile
Nolan Peterson
Human.
Dwarf if you're going to do nothing but PvP (and even then, Human is still pretty good)
Julian Powell
>rogue
yeah that's sleep deprivastion. I mean dwarf.
Colton Myers
Night Elf for double stealth and faster corpse run, I have this strange feeling that you will need them.
Isaac Gomez

Caleb Morris
Every Australian played with worse than 200 ping (in some cases much worse) during vanilla. You'll be fine.

Things to add in Classic
>Dungeon maps >You cant mind control people into PVP portals
Aiden Stewart
Ausfag here, the lowest I ever saw was 300ms, none of my friends were ever below 400ms. They did something in TBC or Wrath that got it to about 200ms usually, but it was still impossible to play melee in PvP
Carter Davis
>deprivastion kek
Human for Pve and Dorf for PvP
Henry Gray
>turn on a random Lights hope stream >its a hunter >hes clicking all his abiltiies >hes using conc shot on mobs that the tank has aggro on
Xavier Myers
>but it was still impossible to play melee in PvP Impossible is a stretch. It was 'added challenge'
Michael Perez
>tfw youll be 60 day one on classic
Dylan Edwards
Good to know it worked for them back then. I assume aussies today can get
Ryan Harris
>So it's not like back then when everyone was lagging, this time it would just be me with 200ms. Oceanic Servers initially opened a year after wow launched. For the first year Aussies were playing on US realms
Nathaniel Barnes
I live in EU now but I played Nost/Ely for about 2 years while in Singapore. Ping was between 300-330ms, never went below 300.
PvP wise, at that level, melee is practically impossible. Hunter can be pretty shit if they get into your deadzone.
I played a warrior to 60 and it was pretty aids. You would never ever be in melee range, even right after a charge/intercept, so it would be very difficult to get a hamstring off, and even then you would usually not be in range. And when you were in range, it was still fucky, and getting hits off was fucky.
I now have literally 0ms, maximum around 15ms, and and wpvp is actually pretty good as warrior, lvl36 atm
Liam Perez
They were "oceanic" realms but they were hosted in the US. They weren't hosted in Australia until fucking WoD.
Ryder Martinez
Yes I know, but the fake Oceanic really were mostly oceanic players, so the playing field was even. That's the point I'm making.
Colton Morris
dire maul east
Mason Wright
>still no video of someone playing the BTD version of Great Days over the trailer Someone needs to get on this
Leo King
I guess what I want to know is how much of a relative disadvantage I'd be at. To figure that out, I should ask if anyone here is an Australian playing on a current (real) Oceanic server, and what kind of ping you get.
Leo Young
Ausfags on Ausfag servers get under 50ms now, usually under 35
Parker Lewis
100% authentic vanilla
Benjamin Thomas
>Vanilla WoW with 35ms ping
This is going to be amazing. I always played with 450-600ms.
I also only ever levelled a single hunter to 60, and never did any of the raiding content. This is going to be great.
Jason Murphy
I guess I should be happy for the Aussies, but that's a kick for me to hear. Hopefully I can keep up as a healer in mostly PvE at least, even with 200ms
Eli Powell
They should add voice chat to vanilla.
Evan Flores
Just wait for 2.2
Jack Cruz
It will still be on battle net, so they might
Zachary Gray
man he has no idea what the fuck is waiting for him.
>"i know its gona be more of a grind but im actually kind of excited about it" he says while literally oneshotting every mob he hits at level 1
Michael Johnson
why the fuck are you making a general for Classic WoW when we know we still have AT LEAST 400 days to wait do people like to hurt themselves that much?
Kayden Wood
Human for pve, easily. Sword specialization is very good.
For pvp, probably gnome for escape artist or dwarf for stoneform.
Or nightelf because they're pretty and have the best DW animations.
Austin Howard
I've been actively wanting to play since 2016, I still play around with talent trees every other day and want to talk about priest and shaman theorycrafting.
Company keeps me distracted from the ache.
Kayden Parker
I'm curious for those who played on classic vanilla servers,
Obviously Paladins heal at 60, but the transition from hybrid 1-59 and dedicated healer at 60 is hard, especially with the itemization.What do people usually do? Is it just generally accepted and understood that Paladins will DPS/offheal in 5-man dungeons for a while until they can scounge up enough Mage/Priest/Druid T0 to be a dedicated healer?
Robert Rivera
And by 'played on classic vanilla servers' I mean the unofficial ones, I was on vanilla and I remember most people being chill with Paladins swinging a 2h around in pre-raid dungeons, but the attitude has probably changed.
