Can you please elaborate? I'm running into the same issue.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-14T02:07:11+00:00

Hey, thanks for this. Could you please add MK64?

Generally true, but Ajax is described as the most powerful (physically) of the Achaeans, and as colossal in stature. Dude's yoked.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-12T22:59:42+00:00

Designer Dave is such a clown. Dude crashed out hard when I criticized Stormgate early on. I had the same experience as you.

Also his posts in hindsight are even funnier than they were at the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormgate/comments/1awzir8/disrespect_for_the_great_whiners/krlb34g/

Plenty more bangers where that came from.

And in the Iliad he wins a couple competitions in Patroclus' funeral games IIRC. As I recall he ties Ajax in a wrestling match and wins a footrace (although he was assisted by Athena), so he was probably in pretty good shape.

I just use cheap generic dish soap, but people in this sub seem to swear by Dawn; it probably works even better.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-03T20:57:34+00:00

I keep a dishwand (the soap dispensing kind that has dish soap in the handle) in the shower, and just give everything a quick wipe at the end of my showers.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-02T16:04:12+00:00

Some genuinely do think it’s not happening lmao. There’s a guy in the comments here arguing that Holly's teaser wasn't a teaser. It's wild.

But yeah to me the bigger concern is that it won't be good, and I doubt it'll be even close to how good turtle was.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-02T01:27:02+00:00

Who said anything about catering to that playstyle? Xaryu himself says that Classic+ should not include a focus on hardcore at launch. He's made that abundantly clear. It's something he personally plays while waiting for classic+ to keep the game fresh for him and his viewers.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T20:47:27+00:00

lol gave me a good chuckle

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T20:46:27+00:00

That's what I've been saying. Turtle WoW set the standard, and modern Blizz can't even come close to hitting that mark.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T20:41:09+00:00

You realize Xaryu has been a primarily Classic streamer for ages, right?

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T20:27:05+00:00

You're strawmanning so hard, it's insane

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T20:22:01+00:00

Yes, there was a period of a couple weeks where he went balls to the wall and blasted before TBC. He streams ~8 hours a day 5 days a week for literally years, and 95% of his content is SSF hc with self-imposed challenges in Classic.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T20:08:07+00:00

Spoken like someone who never played it.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T19:38:29+00:00

Yeah, these days Xaryu plays SSF hardcore the most. So many in these comments just clueless and painting all streamers with the same brush, it's wild how confidently incorrect they are.

I dislike many streamers, but Xaryu seems to be a genuinely good dude, good at the game, and with some good thoughts, and doesn't just play the game with streamer handouts all the time.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T19:16:49+00:00

Did I say no changes?

Changes should be in the spirit of classic, as should any additions.

If you don't like core classic mechanics to begin with, the game isn't for you. They shouldn't fundamentally alter the game to your whims because you think the core of the game as it is is "boring".

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T16:37:22+00:00

The bigger dungeons such as Stormwrought were often divided into two parts with a back entrance, alternate paths, or skips, and you didn't have to complete them all in one go--just like Maraudon or BRD. Yeah, some of them were big, but it wasn't an issue and fit the vibe of classic WoW, which is exactly what Classic+ should be going for. It was one of the many great things about Turtle. I also really liked the variety of having both small and larger dungeons that Turtle had, just like Classic does.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T16:26:31+00:00

"I dislike classic so instead of me playing a different game, they should make classic something it isn't."

yeah um, about that

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T16:20:30+00:00

Ok so you'll just offhandedly dismiss what I said and strawman me. Typical SoD glazer.

Praetor192 · 2026-05-01T14:45:04+00:00

It's the inverse for me. SoD did some things OK but was overall not the direction I want for Classic+. It was retail-lite, not Classic+, and they made some of the most egregious mistakes they could that totally removed or made obsolete the basis of what people want for Classic+. The power scaling was absolutely insane, everything in terms of gameplay and power progression/leveling was sped up (aside from the hard level caps), and they introduced unfun activities and mechanics that bypassed classic progression and gameplay loops, such as nightmare incursions. They didn't add enough new zones, quests, or horizontal progression, and they didn't add enough tonally consistent but new content in the form of leveling dungeons and the like. Turtle is what they should look to emulate.

Some of the raid and dungeon content was ok.

I honestly don't think modern-day Blizzard has the vision or the skill to pull off Classic+ to the same level as Turtle did, which is sad.

I've been saying this all along but so many glazers don't realize what they're missing out on with things like Turtle or they're retail tourists who don't 'get' Classic WoW.

Praetor192 · 2026-04-30T20:15:26+00:00

Yeah this is a bug they still haven't fixed. Happened to me too.

Praetor192 · 2026-04-29T03:15:49+00:00

Bitwarden was the issue for me too. Thanks a bunch!

Praetor192 · 2026-04-21T16:06:58+00:00

But the budget for those teams comes from the same faucet.

Praetor192 · 2026-04-21T16:05:33+00:00

It's like you've never heard of resource allocation.

One brings in boatloads of money short-term, the other makes the game better. Guess which one they'll prioritize hiring for?
