docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc64CYad2GpAVvH6yEl-mLd2NBlCnKeIASA8mTrRwjJQ5usDw/viewanalytics

Is this being done by the retail WoW team?
>We’re going to hire people specifically for this job, and we’re going to staff it with people who are interested in bringing back Classic WoW in the best, most authentic way.

When is the release date?
>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. This is a massive effort.

1st for changes

FUCK 1.12 AND "LATER ADDED CLASS BALANCE"
START AT 1.1

youtube.com/watch?v=ORTwWpZTos8
:3 :3 :3

>not 1.0
Nostbabbies, ladies and gentlemen

dughhs wtf just lik gev me gold an mount idtiot grending is ffor vfvufking idits

Let's fix Vanilla.
>Class Balancing
>Raid/Dungeon re-tuning to bring it on par with the new class balance and more mechanics then 'don't stand in fire'.
>Heroic Dungeons or Keystone style dungeons
>Heroic raids that award slightly better gear and are much more challenging (think Mythic)
>Arenas and Rated Battlegrounds
>Retune gear to the stepping stones of dungeon -> heroic/keystone dungeon = normal raid -> heroic raid

Instead of playing the same boring shit that people have theorycrafted for years let's revamp it and make it more enjoyable. Instead of having two button rotations and hardly any bosses with more than one 'mechanic' we can get a challenging and rewarding game that gives gear based on skill rather than time investment. The only people who want 'pure Vanilla' are those who want to be handed the best gear by afking in 40 man raids and battlegrounds

>But yeah, the goal is to recreate that exact experience, for better or for worse.

A new generation of crying retardins and tankadins is born. Rejoice my friends.

the game started at 1.1

>1.0

t. wotlkbabby

1.1 was the day 1 version, 1.0 literally does not exist

RELEASE WHEN I CAN'T PLAY ON KIKEKIDNEY SERVER ANYMORE

GUYS, SOME COMMUNIST DUMBFUCK COMMUNITY MANAGERS POSTED ON THE FORUMS LAST NIGHT THAT CLASS BALANCE AND CLASS TWEAKS WERE "UP IN THE AIR".

YOU NEED TO BE LOUD AS FUCK AND GET THESE RETARDS FIRED IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WE DON'T DISCUSS ALLOWING PEDOPHILES INTO PUBLIC LIFE AND WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW ANY CHANGES WHATSOEVER TO CLASSIC WOW FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON.

THERE IS NO DISCUSSION, PERIOD.

1.1 means that casters will be in absolute shit state in pvp. poor itemization and going up against classes using weapons without speed normalization. if they go that route then im almost certainly playing a rogue because of how much they absolutely shit on anyone for the first year.

what if there was 1.13?
an expanded vanilla where the some scrapped content would be added?

>click on forum post advocating for pure vanilla

eu.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/17617017300?page=1

The future is so bright I gotta wear shades, dude

It's not worth it discussing this shit or fussing about it until there is a concrete announcement made and the direction of where the project is going. Right now they are just starting to assemble the team. It's not going to release or even start to be developed any time soon.

4 strengh 4 stam leather belt

>get cucked by mages 24/7 because no imp sprint
>but muh prep
literaly every mage player now can easily uncover your shitty vanish and with 70% slow on blizzard you're not gonna walk out of it without another rootbreaker, too bad you only got two

I just had an idea that's more vanilla than anything that was actually in vanilla
>the emerald nightmare dungeon hub would also have a tier 3 40 man raid which a group could only enter by using a single use item that drops from the world dragons
Imagine the titanic butthurt. Imagine the backstabbing and politicking and scams, the guild wars and forum meltdowns over dragon spawns.

:O pogchamp :D

>guys how about we just kill some jews, not alot just a few, just for quality of life you know
>NO YOU DON'T GET TO KILL ANY JEWS
>omg stop being so toxic, you "no killing jews purists" are not being constructive, we have to be able to have discussions, both sides of the aisle have valid points!!!

if TBC wasn't on the plate then maybe
how can I trust nublizz content?

Nice comparison my man. Le upvote!

yeah no

but all jews should be killed you fucking zionist

based our boy is coming live soon

I'd like to see the custom group finder from retail in legacy. Keep it to the realm you are on and just list your group and people who need a group for that specific thing will join, no summoning no nothing. It just removes the spamming element from the game and you can do something else while your group forms.

1+1=4

alright obama

or just have the TBC LFG UI where you list what dungeons you're looking for and people can just whisper you to get a group going

>perds kills you with one ambush/backstab combo
how is it any different changecuck?
BC is completely different game to vanilla(and a better one while we're at it), and i would play both if i had a chance.

Asmongold just said that "Alex has a very large platform right now and a lot of people look up to him, so he needs to watch what he says."

Lol.

>Watched his stream for 10 minutes
>Just jumped around IF.
>Found out he doesnt even pvp.
What is the literal point.

perdition/gutgore rogues in early vanilla were fucking disgusting. with the shit itemization anything with cloth would die within a few globals at most. give a rogue thistle tea and its lights out for any class, anywhere.

>imp sprint
>vanish
>imp sprint
>vanish
>what is standart utility stabbuild
newfags should be gassed desu

Eq2 cuck who was in the wrong side of history in 2005 asking are dungeons on pvp servers instanced or contested?

meanwhile during late vanilla that warlock would pop living action potion, click deathcoil, click corruption, get a nightfall proc instantly and launch an instant 3k+ shadowbolt

let rogues have fun while they can

ASMONGOLD JUST INVITED ALEX TO A DEBATE

HOLY FUCK

Asmongold is on his last legs trying to defend Alex. He got a connection with the biggest WoW streamer who just so happens to be a big no-changes classic advocate and willfully sabotaged it. He has literal mental issues and shouldn't be in charge of his own affairs.

instanced
wow kids cannot even imagine a game without instances

>banning people lol

>Hehe there's a Warlock infront of me

instanced, but brm and dm are constant war zones

>karazhan crypt raid + necromancer class

Alex is absolutely fucking flipping out on stream, he's fuming at the blue posts holy shit

>BC is completely different game to vanilla(and a better one while we're at it)

>addition of Draenei
>addition of blood elves
>addition of flying mounts
>addition of Resilience gear
>25 man raids
>better game


Honestly, kill yourself.

It wouldn't be created by the same people that made Vanilla so it would be pretty terrible most likely

LOL based lolcow

I want this actually. A side-grade of expansion into the lost / planned areas of vanilla that got scrapped or left incomplete.
Launch is Classic with everything 'as is'. Expansion is Emerald Dream with the unfinished / planned content in the core world rolled in.

Great vid on the missing content that didn't make it.

youtube.com/watch?v=13_QhaIBHdo

alex is banning anyone who doesnt agree with him 100%. making his channel a safe space for himself.

>Asmongold makes an argument
>5 sec pause
>Alex asks an irrelevant question without referring to said argument
>Asmongold wants to say somehting
>Alex starts screaming because one of his group members died

pretty ironic

>tfw alex will get a larger audience because he's successfully leeched off of asmon and people will want to see go how crazy he is

> addition of Draenei
top goats
> addition of blood elves
best girls, can't wait to play belf rogue again even though undeads are so much better
> addition of flying mounts
meh
> addition of Resilience gear
good thing
> 25 man raids
whats bad about it? inb4: "I literally can't even" kind of reply
> better game
Yes.

>2000 out of 19000 wants dungeon finder
>6700 out of 19000 wants dual spec
>2200-4000 out of 19000 wants several of the later raids like AQ/ZG to be released on launch day

These has to be trolls, there's no way people wants this in a vanilla server. That shit would make it into a funserver.

>I WILL NOT TALK TO ASMON, I KNOW WHAT HE'S GONNA TELL ME

LMAO Alex is losing his mind
AHAHHA

>half the thread talking about a literal who with 200 viewers on youtube gaming

why do you keep talking about this guy if you claim you hate him so much, he doesn't matter

Changesbabs thinks this guy being not likeable somehow bolsters their side

Asmongold is the flag bearer for pure Vanilla, the biggest streamer in World of Warcraft. NoChangeBulls already won, it's over.

...for the lulz :D

he's a perfect lolcow

This is why he won't talk to Asmongold again. Last time he made himself look like an absolute brainlet lolcow asshole:

the no change war is over
but asmon is now advocating for 1.12 shit
a new war has begun

Shame some of my fondest memories in EQ2 were when they finally added pvp servers my guild rolled there and made rape squads to gank the shit out of people trying to level in popular dungeons.
Anyway is Shaman viable healer in both pve and pvp?

you can gank people in open world 24/7
shammy is ok, not good, but ok

except
he never played vanilla and has no actual fucking clue about literally anything regarding it. He's a wrath baby.

Of course Alex would have a rogue named 'Annoying'..

>WE DON'T DISCUSS ALLOWING PEDOPHILES INTO PUBLIC LIFE AND WE SHOULDN'T ALLOW ANY CHANGES WHATSOEVER TO CLASSIC WOW FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON.

Because they hurt children like you?

everyone needs to downvote alexs post and watch him fucking rage.

hey, purists. you can stop feigning your anger at change. we all know you really want change, change is good. you're not a casual for wanting an improved game. besides, you and me both know that no matter what happens to retail classic you'll be playing. save your breath, enjoy your time on classic :) it'll be okay

I hope Alex post gets downvoted like crazy just so we can see him rage about it.
Even though I'm a purist, his behaviour is fucking childish.

lmao yea, it's hilarious though

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

>baladins are balanced and dere is no wrong with alliance dominating the game and killing servers, banilla is perfect :DDDD

Thanks for sharing this video.

I hope all the greedy retail brainlets who want to ruin vanilla get fucking brain cancer.

Shamans are just as good, learn to play.

we're witnessing peak alex right now

i don't watch ecelebs but this alex guy is going fucking overboard

even if i agree with him this nigga is on such a powertrip

>Shamans are just as good
catababbies everyone

>I'M GONNA SUE PANZER

rofl this guy is off the hook

what server is binland going to roll on?

>dominating the game
>top 10 world kills up to cata was literally 80% horde
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

pserver kiddie tranny...

>kiddie tranny
you would probably want one, degenerate

says the alliance weeb
lmao

>35k kills on horde in 3 months
try harder

>alex subs to wow to post on the forum
>cannot post on the forum
blizzard cucked him. hope he does a chargeback and gets permabanned.

>bok and bos don't trivialize endgame pve
>bop and bof don't empower the two pvp classes that scale the most to absurd levels
>this doesn't break the game

why the fuck his stream keeps on crashing on me

BANNED BANNED BANNED!

>e-celeb bullshit
where are the mods in this general

me too, that'd be hilarious. His campaign for vanilla Wow would instantly end

>yet alliance players are always shit and lose at everything
hmmmmmmm
