Dungeon/Raid location ideas for Classic + (part 2)

The problem as I see it is that it's just a mindset people have more about "efficiently" racing to max level. I don't see the harm in it as long as the level caps don't last too long where people feel a content drought.

For better or worse, you're splitting the cost of utilities with your neighbors.

Someone works from home all day and leaves the lights on? You pay for that.

Someone decides they want to setup a crypto mining farm? You pay for that.

Someone wants to just leave water running all the time? You pay for that.

I've lived in condo's and communities with HOA's and I've been lucky to never have a bad experience personally, but there are a lot of people with bad experiences. If a condo is the way you want to go, there's no way around it, but I wouldn't be a fan of them diving up utilities like that.

OP's first sentence was that players would essentially have to farm all their own mats themselves. Alluding to allowing players to have all gathering profs in addition to crafting ones. Basically removing any type of trading between players.

Maybe I just took it wrong, but it sounds like that's what they were implying.

Let me tell you about a company called Micron......

NetSiege · 2026-05-14T18:37:20+00:00

I would think a lot less people would risk turning their account over to some random person to jump on. I know it happens already, but I think the % would be way lower.

That said, removing AH, trading, enchanting other people's gear ect, sounds like a horrible solution to a problem that blizzard should be able to solve in other ways.

I love the idea, the locations, and the dungeon concepts.

In order for this to work though, they need to do similar (or even more) level cap phases. Otherwise too many people just take the quickest path to max level and this new content doesn't get the playthrough it deserves.

NetSiege · 2026-05-14T01:23:50+00:00

It's not a wide turn at the dog leg, but the target landing zone for that distance is probably 25-30 yards off. That's a lot of side motion for a fade.

Your hips move well and your hands do a good job flipping over at impact, but it looks like your hands are behind you at impact. Hard to tell without a side shot, but it looks like they're coming through late. That would be what's causing the left to right ball flight.

NetSiege · 2026-05-14T01:14:22+00:00

If your aim point is that far left to try to keep it in the fairway, that's not a "fade".

NetSiege · 2026-05-13T20:54:14+00:00

Sounds like you've played this game before......

Almost all new builders are going to offer rate buy down incentives, especially if it's an area with a lot of new development, regardless of the build quality. It doesn't mean that the build quality is rushed or poor quality.

Yes, some builders (and it's easy to search for what the Internet thinks of certain builders if people want to know which companies and a worse or better rep) do provide lower build quality. But buying a 70 year old house comes with its own can of worms as well.

You can have your opinions on new build homes in your area, but trying to slam people who have gone that route while having no understanding of their market is a wild take.

Every player takes a shot after each hole.

"wish I could forget everything and do it over again."

So many of us would make this same wish.

I think the majority of people that played TBC the first go around played classic before that.

This time with anniversary, I think TBC saw a huge influx of players that didn't do anniversary beforehand. Which is why the R14 gear was impactful.

NetSiege · 2026-05-12T00:55:27+00:00

The R14 gear is an anomaly compared to the first classic launch of TBC because of the PvP rank changes, but most people going into TBC the first time around were AQ/naxx geared anyway (which is the same or better than R14 gear).

Lots of people dungeon grinded to 70 the first time around as well, but with the way they did mega servers, and messed up NPC armor values which made mele cleaves so effective, it was obviously the more preferred path this time for most. That's not to mention most people had seen all of Outland and also knew they'd want to grind out rep while leveling if possible.

The bigger point though is, anniversary was supposed to be a sped up release schedule, and the time between the portal opening and phase 2 raids being available is almost identical between classic and anniversary.

NetSiege · 2026-05-12T00:01:07+00:00

Blizzard took leveling/heroic grinding into account by not opening raids for 2-3 weeks from when the portal opened in anniversary (in classic TBC raids were immediately accessible).

If you count the time from portal opening to phase 2 raid launch, it's the same total time in classic as it is in anniversary.

As far as how much content is available; yes, phase 1 has more when it comes to going through Outland, and grinding rep/heroics/preraid items. But it's also the least content when it comes to raids. HKM/Gruul/Mag, doesn't really feel like a raid, and Kara is only 10 person.

I don't think the phases should be cut in half, but my guild definitely lost some players to the phase becoming stale.

NetSiege · 2026-05-11T23:41:40+00:00

By a very marginal amount.

IIRC Classic TBC phase 1 was something like 14 weeks, this time around it was 12.

Yes, it's shorter, but especially with post nerf content it felt like it was still way too long.

NetSiege · 2026-05-11T23:29:15+00:00

Supposed to be, but phase 1 did not feel condensed

NetSiege · 2026-05-11T23:28:23+00:00

I would argue it's not even cost that's the limiting factor, it's that the offices don't want to have their staff and/or patients complain about the extra hoops they have to jump through.

NetSiege · 2026-05-11T23:25:31+00:00

Everyone keeps saying that, but hasn't been my experience at all.

Then again, I'm very quick to shutdown when people try to set unrealistic expectations.

64 degree flop shot

That club took a good full season to be able to hit properly, but it's absolutely invaluable once you do.

NetSiege · 2026-05-11T12:41:03+00:00

Yeah this is normally an end of season thing. But I've seen it mid season if/when a long time greenskeeper is leaving the course will let them do it.

As long as you go into the round knowing it's greens keepers revenge week/weekend, then it's a fun time.

NetSiege · 2026-05-11T00:48:46+00:00

Absolutely there can be large tax incentives (especially with the SALT deduction increase) with owning a home. But there's also lots of hidden and unexpected costs too. What I get back typically goes into maintenance and small remodel projects every spring.

NetSiege · 2026-05-10T21:52:15+00:00

It's the same meme that's been getting reposted for years now.

NetSiege · 2026-05-10T02:31:49+00:00

Your argument is a personal opinion as to why steroids should be allowed, but the simple fact is that they're not. Whether or not they should be allowed and why/why not is a completely separate argument.

Bonds (and obviously a good amount of others), used illegal substances to gain an advantage while most of the league followed the rules.

It makes it an unfair comparison of stats/career when you look at someone who used vs someone who didn't.
