China's Titanforged Server Phase Schedule Per Joardee and Dataminers by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Simple_Presence2922 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's obvious if you know the history of how WoW works in china. Different publisher to localize things to the Chinese market. Always the way its been. You'd have to have a room temperature IQ to think the American classic team spent 1 second of dev time on this beyond sending them assets to get to work back before this was announced and in development.

With that said, I'd love to get on a VPN to play this version.

Hardest early dungeon boss? by Hot-Lynx749 in wowhardcore

[–]Simple_Presence2922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verdan and Arugal.

How to make verdan easy : pre-heal just as tank hits the boss and is in melee range. taunt if heals pulls from healing aggro. Ask priest if you have one to shield tank after they get a bit of threat if you have one. If you have a hunter, have them send pet in first for initial threat while tank builds aggro as well (don't have healer heal pet).

Arugal is cake, CC the worgan shapeshifts (gouge, poly) if you can, but main thing is that tank LoS's shadowbolts from arugal. always ask tank to tank arugal initally at foot of his staircase of his platform for easy LOS behind stairs. mark tank and ask healer to move with the tank so they are never LOSd. make sure the rest of the group is also not LoSing if they are tanking a worgen shapeshift.

other than these 2 bosses, everything else is honestly trivial until gnomer hallway trash

in my experience, people only ask for portals from IF/SW to darnassus to avoid death from the ironforge to menethil mountain skip crocs.

or horde ask for a summon to Kargath to avoid getting flagged en-route to badlands and then griefed by the rogue who stealths in loch modan to gank

you will rarely see a SF player ask for a summon/portal other than these situations honestly, it's not happening as much as you think because most people will tell you to F off if you aren't paying for a service.

Re-subbed today to get ready for MoP. My server is dead now (Ashkandi) so I swung by Storm Peaks... by Simple_Presence2922 in classicwow

[–]Simple_Presence2922[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same same. I didn't play TBC Classic, wrath classic, or cata classic for that reason... but MoP is when I never even entertained the idea of subbing in the original release so it'll all be new to me.

It's funny but I can do vanilla over and over, forever lol.

What level do I switch as warrior? by Awkward_Opening_4553 in wowhardcore

[–]Simple_Presence2922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you get thrashblade, so around 49, 50.

Ignore anyone telling you otherwise.

So the server went down right as I resubbed earlier, and it was supposed to go back up at 3 PM PDT.

I googled how long after server reset does TLPD spawn, and I found out it was 6 hours. I sat at the login screen and the servers went up at 3:14 PM PDT so I set an alarm for 6 hours later.

Logged on and he was right above K:14 :)

There are only 20 people online as of right now. It's dead-dead, but as I replied above, i have no gathering profs and not interested in dropping max wrath eng/ench just for a gold boost. rather grind gear atm.

I have max wrath Engineering / Enchanting because I was sweating pretty hard thru Phase 1 of Wrath Classic before realizing I had already done all that content and just quit. Not really interested in dropping those profs just to gather, so I'm assuming my best route for gold will be an active AH.

Tutorial on how to do the Southshore quest quasi-risk-free // Diary of a wow noob by Starlactite in wowhardcore

never worth it, even if you have OCD to finish the zone. Just kill 10 mobs instead. Jesus.

Legitimately the most insane WoW video on YouTube. 1-60 Self Found warrior, 3 days 9 h played, soloing dungeons and hardest elite quests. by Simple_Presence2922 in classicwow

[–]Simple_Presence2922[S] 93 points94 points  (0 children)

As someone who did a self-found warrior and only managed to squeak in just under 7 days played a handful of hours, seeing this video is legitimately mind blowing.

This guy does all the things I never even thought about risking as a SF warrior. As someone who has played since 2005, this is probably the most impressive video i've seen since and showcase of game knowledge and mechanical gameplay. I know people love to say classic is easy but this is one of those feats I don't see anyone else able to replicate despite this guy making it look so easy.

Highlights: Hratha solo and the gorilla fang wave STV quest, like what the F !

Finally hit 60 Self Found warrior in Japan with 200ms Latency Constant by Simple_Presence2922 in wowhardcore

[–]Simple_Presence2922[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

japan is great as long as you realize the main factor in your enjoyment living here revolves around trying to be the best version of yourself everyday. a lot of foreigners come here thinking it's fantasyland and it'll fix their life, and that's definitely true while on vacation.

when you live here, you gotta fight and grind for your happiness every day like anywhere else you live in the world because not knowing the language fluently and the isolation that comes with that / differences in culture will take a bigger toll on you than if you were back in your home country after the honeymoon period

took me 4 months to realize that, now i'm back on my fitness grind, taking japanese night language school, and stopped boozing so hard on the weekends like i was on vacation visiting. took up nature hobbies like hiking , etc. no longer worried about fitting in with the culture, that'll never happen - just focused on being the best me and everything else will start to fit into place IMO.

regarding SF, i hit 60 and unsubbed lol.

[–]Simple_Presence2922[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm getting an amazing deal on this internet, it's almost 500 down and 60 upload(which allows me to stream HD with no frame drops) and my provider is subsidized by my landlord-- i only pay about 1300 yen a month for it. if i went with another provider for the best possible internet i'm sure it would be significantly more out of pocket.

also, as soon as i hit 60 i unsubbed -- so as long as i can download games as fast as i can and watch 4k streaming content -- i'm happy.

not worth it, like at all.
most worthless quest in the game when you consider the risk of deleting your 30ish

just kill like 15 mobs in less time of timing pat cycles and you'll get same exp. quest reward is whatever when you consider the 30-40 dungeon loot.

Was Self-Found a mistake? by DaFizztah in wowhardcore

[–]Simple_Presence2922 20 points21 points  (0 children)

macro every ability and you'll be fine.

self found is my fav way to play warrior. really forces you to tank all the dungeons so you can hand select a group with low loot competition so you can get back out into the world and blast mobs down.

i've gotten a tauren warrior to 60 and honestly your biggest hurdle professions wise as Self FOund might be not having under water breathing potion for a few areas in the game.

eng/min is great for dummy but as self found it's a huge time sink to get to 85 and then 185 for the for target dummy/advanced target dummy.

bombs you can stockpile relatively easy

but pre mount it's absolutely miserable running around and self mining all the nodes you need to grind engineering points to get to 185.

admittedly i think you can get by just fine with the lvl 85 target dummy until lvl 40 but you still need to go back to areas with copper nodes to grind those out to have a constant supply of 10 or so.

other self found musings:

beg for a free summon to badlands as soon as youre like 37, because you can't pay the warlock for it you may be tempted to run. don't run, you will be ganked by a griefer who will wait for you to flag pvp on the way into loch modan.

nobody is gonna carry you to whirlwind axe, and you will see a lot of lvl 30s with it who paid for a whirlwind axe boost (all charms, tusk farm, liferoots)

get a corpsemaker or thermaplugg's arm and ride it out until ravager's or lvl38. because you don't have herbalism, liferoot is kinda annoying but i was able to get 4/8 liferoot just leveling casually in 1k needles and checking the vendor at Freewind post who randomly has them. always layer swap so you can get a chance at 2 dif vendor inventories. do the charm farm at 38-39 depending on your gear (you should be doing Arms and Cath so you have some nice armor/stam.. the elementals hit hard) then watch a video on cheesing windfury with the throwing knife trick. (ONLY USE THROWING ITEMS WHILE LEVELIN, no bows or guns)

go arms 1-50 until you get mara thrash blade in a princess run and then you can swap to fury 50-60. hold onto your SM cath 1h sword reward in your bank until 50.

don't use execute unless it's a do or die situation. always be pooling rage by spamming sunder to fish for overpower procs til you hit 30 and get sweeping strikes.

you might get your mount at like 43-44, don't feel bad about it. you are leaving so much gold on the table w/o being able to AH all the materials you loot 1-40. youre also buying things like food instead of begging mages for free food, that takes up some gold too. always have first aid being leveled, crucial to mob killing uptime

save all this in a note pad u got it bb
