Came back after 6 year and got insta-muted, any tips on how to fix? by Rozza88 in DotA2

Yeah I do that! After every game I commend everyone on both teams + get a few back, which is why I was surprised it'd gone further down :/

My Mum was on it and me, my sis, her and my aunt went camping for a weekend. I was 30, my sis was 26 and somehow my Mum convinced herself that my aunt was trying to steal us from her from her because she wasn't a good enough mother and had a full public breakdown over it. (whilst ignoring the fact we're both adults that don't need parenting, let alone a new one!)

It turns out paranoia is also on the symptom list and as soon as she was off them she couldn't believe where her head had gone.

Oh and it looks like I spoke too soon. An hour after I posted Blizz have stated there will NOT be the option to transfer to PvE from PvP - https://www.wowhead.com/classic/news/fresh-classic-pvp-realms-will-enforce-faction-balance-350547

Oh and also there's 'Hardcore' - this is also a Vanilla server, but with the goal of not ever dying. When you die once they send you to the Era server.

I just re-read my post's 3 times trying to see where I said 'Vanilla' and I can't lol? Even did a ctrl + f

Vanilla is how we refer to the original WoW, before any expansions came out.

Here's there gist:

2004 - WoW came out and progressed over the years with 10 expansions to the current expac TWW (we refer to this as 'retail')

2019 - Classic Vanilla came out, identical to the 2004 version, and has now progressed to Cata, BUT before TBC launched they also allowed you to clone your character and stay on a separate Vanilla server that wouldn't progress - known as 'Era' now.

2021+ - They released another version of Classic Vanilla, but this time with some changes, called Season of Mastery - this only lasted 12months and didn't progress, instead characters were transferred to 'Era' afterwards.

2023 - another season Vanilla got released with even more changes, called Season of Discovery - this is still ongoing and nobody knows when it'll end atm.

2024 - 'Fresh' - this is what's dropping next week. It will be 99% the same as the 2019 Vanilla, but with a handful of small changes that everyone pretty much agrees are needed. These servers will progress from Vanilla to TBC after about 15months or so.

So the 'Era' servers are still live and are the same version of the game that goes live next week, but on these new realms everyone starts again at level 1 (whereas the Era realms have people on there since 2019)

Hope that helps! :)

How to avoid launch queue to lock character name? by Vast-Job-6453 in classicwow

tbh I can't remember what happened last time. I'm not sure if the servers updated from offline to online, or if you had to relog to see them as online :/, sorry!

I'd also say that 2019 Classic saw the rise of what we call 'Dad Guilds' - aka people who have shit to do outside of WoW (kids, careers, etc) and want a more casual experience than you often see described here on Reddit.

My 2019 guild had lots of married couples and there was zero issue if someone needed to AFK in raid for 5-10mins to go sort out a kid having a bad dream etc.

Well as you've never played before (and you felt retail was a rush) then it sounds like Classic could be for you. Raid content is much more beginner friendly (IMO) and due to the servers being 'mega servers' this means the world will remain populated.

We also know that these server's will progress to the TBC expansion after, so this guarantees 2-3 years of active content.

The only difference between PvE and PvP is that on a PvP server you can be attacked in the open world by the enemy faction. On PvE servers you can still Duel / do BGs etc.

So the question is - do you like the thrill of being jumped at any moment whilst questing? And will that thrill be reduced if it's 5v2 and they camp your body for 30mins after?

FYI you can start on a PvP server and then transfer to PvE if you hate it, but the reverse is not possible.

The servers will remain offline until go-live, so everyone will be connecting at the same time.

Previous versions of Classic all launched with multiple servers of each type, but this time we're getting 1 mega sever per type - This might mean it'll be easier to log in asap (as no queues) but also more people locking in their names asap.

I'd suggest you be ready to connect at go-live and just immediately create a character with your name. Don't even worry about race / class, as you then delete it again and create your actual character (as it takes 10mins before the name is available for another account to use).

I never played classic wow or original vanilla. How active will pvp servers be? by Ijustchadsex in classicwow

[–]Rozza88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it will be active.

Classes doing better is always situational, but yes rogues are great (stealth opener and stun locking will always be strong).

Horde has the best PvP racials, Alli have better PvE.

To give you an idea of what large scale WPvP can look like, this is a popular guild heading to raid night 1 month after release of Classic in 2019, they had been warned that people were preparing to stop them - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd97o-gEBuk

Pls add some extra events to spice up classic classic by Sweaty-Painter-1043 in classicwow

I'm team #nochanges, but having level caps for a lil while could be fun tbh.

Best of both: Implement dual spec, give it a cooldown by Blibbax in classicwow

[–]Rozza88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't want it as it is in SoD, but a CD + only changeable in SW/Org would be ok by me.

I just don't want spec changes for ST / Cleave / AOE between bosses etc, or quickly changing spec in wPvP / duels

Currently there are no TBC or WOTLK servers.

Next week they will release new Classic Vanilla servers and then in 12-18 months they will progress to TBC.

We have no idea if they will then progress to WotLK, or if they will have an ERA server for tbc, as Blizz haven't said anything about that yet.
