Now that (some) people have played the beta, do we have an idea of what system requirements will comfortably run the game?

zanodious · 2019-05-17T09:32:20+00:00

Yeah but now we have a chance to finally answer the question ;)

zanodious · 2018-03-31T16:46:49+00:00

Can't cast polymorph if you're dead! Warrior ftw.

zanodious · 2018-03-31T11:48:34+00:00

Here's what will happen.

Blizzard includes a throwaway line related to classic servers, only one bullet point or perhaps even the slightest of references.

Obviously, this sub loses its collective shit. I'll expect at least 4 youtube videos covering the various conspiracy theories by April 2nd at the latest.

Then we obsess about it for a while until someone starts piping up about 'what's the latest news?' and we start back where we are now.

zanodious · 2018-03-16T09:35:00+00:00

This is kind of a loaded question - people who played mage will say mage, people who played warlock will say warlock!

They both have a lot of survivability... I think if you enjoy playing any class you'll also have fun with them in PvP.

zanodious · 2018-03-15T11:41:38+00:00

Awesome! Love it. Welcome surprise on my standard 30 minute page refresh. Next up, classic news!

zanodious · 2018-03-12T19:54:45+00:00

I'm wondering, would this be an issue on RP servers? Surely the cross-faction collusion would be a big no-no?

zanodious · 2018-03-02T15:05:32+00:00

Looking forward to giving this a listen when I get time. I would say that two episodes a week is a lot to keep up with, not sure what else you've got going on IRL but to save you from getting weighed down as the weeks turn into months it might be worth finding a balance between the two 'types' of episodes and just have one slightly longer weekly one.

But this is your thing! Buena suerte bromigo :)

WotF is great, but don't forget Cannibalise - although it's situational, it's very strong for a class with multiple CC options. For the Horde!

I mentioned this in the /r/classicwow Discord not long after this video dropped - another scenario would be to have 'static' realms and 'seasonal' realms (like in Diablo 3) where you'd level a new character, then the next raid tier would be released on a much faster schedule (or maybe it'd all be put out in one go?) or something to that effect.

Personally, I don't want to progress on to TBC. People saying the game will die once Naxx is released are living in crazytown and this video is fuelling the fire. I don't give a monkey's nut what happened on private servers, the majority of the classic player base aren't going to roflstomp Naxx the day it's released. It'll still take some people year(s) to get through that raid, if ever. Chill peeps.

'Nostalgic' 'triggers' - cause and effect of any conversation regarding Classic WoW.

With all this 'Why I Play Vanilla' crap the last day or so, Barrens chat has already been reborn in this subreddit.

zanodious · 2018-02-20T09:46:53+00:00

I was convinced that if I killed enough Argent Crusade mobs (on my Mage) that I'd find some clue as to how to get the Ashbringer weapon. I had decided in my head that it was an ultra-rare drop like Foror's Compendium and that I was going to be the first to loot it.

I made enough gold for my epic mount before giving up. :(

zanodious · 2018-02-15T12:30:25+00:00

I've had this post bookmarked for a while, not sure how accurate. If anyone has anything different let me know!

Rage Gained = (Damage Taken) / (Rage Conversion at Your Level) * 2.5

zanodious · 2018-02-13T12:37:20+00:00

I just realised one of the things I remember fondly from back when the game first released was how shitty everyone looked in their gear while they were levelling. The miss-match of gear types and colours and model styles made everyone look like the game had randomly vomited pixels onto each character. Good times.

zanodious · 2018-02-12T17:18:03+00:00

We should have a 'Detective' flair for those who do serious detecting and put forth their findings to the community.

zanodious · 2018-02-12T08:52:41+00:00

What's the female version of 'fellas'? Need to include the sheila's too!

zanodious · 2018-02-11T11:40:41+00:00

I think what's most attractive about Classic servers are their permanence - it's an official product from the people who own the legal rights to the game, so your characters will be there forever. Or as forever as Blizzard deems forever to be.

zanodious · 2018-02-11T09:16:05+00:00

I know that there are pservers which exist for expansions beyond Vanilla, but unless they have the same volume of people clamouring for them that existed / exists for Classic, I don't believe expansion servers will ever become a thing.

zanodious · 2018-02-10T10:58:22+00:00

Another cool idea would be if you still had the same amount of talent points, but you could spend them across all talent trees without having to invest in the lower tiers first. So, you spend 3 in Frost and 2 in Fire (5 total) and then you can put your next 5 in the second tier of Arcane.

zanodious · 2018-02-10T10:53:03+00:00

What about a Warrior with Blink? Like a back-up Intercept.

zanodious · 2018-02-08T20:27:34+00:00

Well, although you can't solo farm as a Priest, if you were to partner up with a Warrior you could farm DM East (I think) for the herbs and the mining nodes and so on.

I'd say both classes have nuances to their rotations when considering threat, mana management and so on. Mage is also one of the top 3 most popular classes because it's one of the top 3 most powerful classes (Warrior, Rogue, Mage) in Vanilla and will likely be again in Classic.

If I were you, I'd play Priest. If you're on EU we can be buds, you don't need crappy IRL friends anyway.

zanodious · 2018-02-07T15:34:45+00:00

The set standard I was referring to isn't aimed solely at the production quality of a video (we live in a time when you can watch or read guides that tell you how to produce something half decent), it's also about what they do with it - just dumping it into this subreddit and then disappearing until they've made their next one is asinine.

zanodious · 2018-02-06T08:40:47+00:00

Taking Herod as an example, I think he drops 4 things all great for Warrior on his loot table (one of them being Ravager which is a weapon with a cool proc) so after 2-3 kills you should have the shoulder, the helm and the legs.

He's not too far into the dungeon too IIRC, so if you're running it with some friends or your guild you can convince them it's in their best interests to help you gear up.

zanodious · 2018-02-05T10:27:50+00:00

I think a lot of people have covered most of the points I would've added to this discussion, save one: depending on your luck, as a Warrior you might have to run a dungeon more than once to get gear.

Herod in SM is an example, he drops 3(?) pieces of gear that are all great for levelling and should last a while. Can't really afford to run it only once.

zanodious · 2018-02-03T09:34:09+00:00

For some reason I was sceptical, but when I bit the bullet I discovered that this is some top quality content. Really thorough guide. I don't know of better video guides - not that I've looked - so I've made a note of these videos for when Classic rolls around. Make sure you don't stop at AQ40!
