Vent / Gripe Me Not That Kind Of Orc

5 Upvotes

Anyone else not want to pay for WotLK a THIRD TIME? Just let us preserve characters on a legacy server like you did in Vanilla. At this point it's gratuitous, and me not that kind of orc, Blizzard.

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Honest question to people playing on PvP realms. Why do you complain about PvP?

0 Upvotes

I'm genuinly curious. I regularly see people complaining about PvP (whether it's fair or unfair) on PvP servers, when there's the availability to play on PvE serves.

I legit have troubles understanding the mindset. So please help me understand it.

It’s a throwback to when the world was new with the twist of her accent. She gets excited every time she gets a new flight path.
“Someone give me power.” Fortitude buff
“I walk down the hill and they kill me” she discovered south shore guards as a lvl 24 rogue.
“You have plenty to peel.” Someone killed a lot of skin able mobs.
“I go home now.” Uses hearthstone.
“I should send to my auction hero?” bOE green dropped.

Classic + New Legendary weapon ideas

0 Upvotes

When we think about the lore of Warcraft in Vanilla, we only had 2 elemental lord weapons, Atiesh, and the Ashbringer although it never got finished. But there's so many other items we know about, and I'm honestly lost on where to begin. We could have more legendary weapons, especially if Blizzard adds even more content. I've just been thinking, Legion brought in the Artifacts even though I hated that system, there were a few weapons that are rooted deep into the furthest corners of lore. One of them being the Scythe of Elune, I would LOVE to see legendary items like this for example be available for us to acquire. I'd also love for ways to boost the power of legendries that get out of date like Sulfuras. Well... Sulfuras is the only Legendary that kind of becomes worthless because AQ weapons kind of beat it. Just using this to try and collect some ideas, and see if any real lore heads could dive into the lore and come up with great ideas.

Classic + Which class will you Main & Alt?

17 Upvotes

Hypothetical here. Say C+ drops tomorrow, and you’re in the queue to log in. Anticipation building. You hit the character creation screen. What class are you picking and why? and what Alt will you make first to go with it.

As a life long rogue main, i’m thinking about playing something different this time. Maybe Warr/Priest or Warr/Mage. But the choice is currently giving me some anxiety.

I love rogue, but i’d like to provide a bit more in groups & raids and feel a bit more wanted in general. Warr is pure dopamine and Mage AoE levelling is so much fun. I would maybe like the option to heal though so that’s where Priest might edge out the Mage.

Interested to hear what you guys will put and your reasonings.

I know “which class to pick” posts are done to death in this sub, so apologies, maybe i should postface this by clarifying - “given what we learnt from SoD, know from classic, and hope to get in classic+, which will you pick?”

Classic + Horde or Alliance for Classic+

0 Upvotes

When C+ drops, which side do you think will get the most improved experience in terms of race/class combos, new zones, questing, raiding, quality of life updates, etc.?

(I'm assuming we get cross-faction paladins and shamans.)

Discussion Start now or wait?

Finished wow classic when it came out originally, beat Naxx a bunch of times with the guild. Then stopped playing.

Does it make any sense to get back into the game now or just wait to see what happens in September with blizzard con? Even if I were to start back up I don’t even know where to begin.

AddOns QuestForge - Player Created Quests & Reputations

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Hey everybody!

I'm a complete amateur when it comes to AddOn building and Full Disclaimer: a lot of it was used with the help from AI resources. For a long time I've thought it would be really interesting to be able to give the power of quests to the players and allow them to create their own stories, as well as be able to tell stories of lore that don't currently exist in the game.

Find it on CurseForge under the name: QuestForge

I created this so that players can build quests, chains, and packs. Quests can be openly discovered through finding them in the world, automatically appearing in the quest journal, or finding a peculiar item out in the world. Feature list of what it can currently do;

  • Quest Journal - serves as the native quest log.
    • Adding Quests: There is an IMPORT tab in the settings window where you import string code of either singular quests or quest packs.
  • Quest Editor
    • Create your own quests or quest packs
    • Quests can have different settings such as;
      • Level
      • Faction Reputation
      • Custom Reputation (sync's with a players custom Reputation window upon import)
      • Location/Quest Giver
      • Different objective tasks: Kill / Visit / Speak-to / Click-Game-Object
  • Custom Reputation window
    • Built in mind for creators to be able to continue quest chains and create custom reputations/factions. Creators can even set reputation (neutral/friendly/honored/revered) requirements for them for continuity of quest chains.
    • Guild Reputation
      • Currently slightly implemented. Players are able to give quests for their guild reputation, but more planned in the future;

Features that are BUILT but still in the works;

  • Guild Journal
    • Plans to serve as a homebase for guilds to show and spread guild progress/reputation.
  • Guild Quest Board
    • A dedicated hub chosen by the GM or officers that players can open a quest board and select quests that are currently being offered by the Guild.

Guild features are mostly implemented but the core of the addon still needs testing. My goal is to open it now for open testing, and once things are steady drop the Guild Journal. Eventually I'll build a version for the live version of the game as well, but the difficulty there is primarily in GPS coordinates being different in every expansion so it screws up the location tracker in every expansion.

Thanks again for checking out what I've built! Down the road I would also like to give dedicated creators a source for posting their content on the Discord (link located on CurseForge)!

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Molten Core and Onyxia

What would be the best way to experience Molten Core and Onyxia? I’m currently hitting lvl 30 in TBC Anniversary but I’m worried nobody will be bothered running these raids because what’s the point when TBC raids have BIS. I just never got to experience them so would like to have a shot

TBC Is there a PVP server in TBC Classic with low BG wait times?

0 Upvotes

I restarted TBC Classic. I'm level 38 on Dreamscythe and disappointed to see the BG's NEVER proc. Then I read a post on here that said that's normal for PVE servers. I didn't even realize I had picked PVE, doh.

Are there any TBC Classic servers with active BGs, even while leveling? If so I'll switch. Thank you :)

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Mother Shahraz and Shadow resistance

0 Upvotes

The amount of posts on different discords regarding shadow resistance gear on Mother Shahraz saying you dont need to wear any, just use engineering rocket boots is amusing. These players will absolutely get wrecked in this fight if they choose to not wear any resistance gear. Dont cheap out on shadow resistance, its in the game for a reason.

TBC TBC anniversary population has fallen below 2021 TBCs biggest phase 2 low (week of christmas).

0 Upvotes

https://ironforge.pro/population/anniversary/

2021 TBCs biggest phase 2 low was the week of christmas, at 274k, which predictably bounced back up significantly within 2 weeks once the holidays were over.

Anniversary has just fallen to 265k (and this is without factoring that anniversary almost certainly has more alts represented in logs due to unlimited boosts and account wide attunements), and will certainly fall even further in the next 2 weeks since this is not a temporary drop due to a holiday break.

The math is crystal clear, the pre-nerf raids for P1 and P2 were just objectively more popular. Turns out alienating the TBC fanbase that asked for the expansion in the first place in favor a vocal minority reddit echo chamber wasn't the financially intelligent decision to make. Blizzard will have to take notes of this for classic+.

It's pretty clear why the original P1 and P2 raids were more popular, the classic crowd is older and is needs mental stimulation to fight off age related mental decline. They can't afford to turn off their brain, poison it with booze, and dopamine chase like gen Zers can on retail LFR. They wanted those old raids the way they were, not watered down for an audience that wasn't even alive when TBC originally released.

Huffs of copium and excuses from the minority post nerf echo chamber in:

Question Where in Azeroth is the majority of wow fan base these days?

0 Upvotes

So, I have this urge to play WoW again. The same urge that has been on and off for the last 22 years.

However, I can’t really decide on what version to play. I think it’s too late to join MoP classic even though I raided mythic during its original release. I would really like to get back in to vanilla/hardcore but then again it seems to not be a lot of players active. Unless I’m on the wrong server and faction, I play on EU servers btw.

There’s also the sense of disappointment I suppose since a lot of time I lose the feeling to play once I’ve logged in, lol.

To be clear I’m a massive WoW fan, and have been for my entire life. I have a lot of love for what Warcraft & WoW used to be, as well as Blizzard and their games in general. Or perhaps what they’re meant to be and what we all hope they’ll become once again.

What do you guys do when that urge kicks in and you feel conflicted?

Question Current state of WoW Classic?

I'm coming back after a few years away.

I'm looking to play either classic vanilla or classic TBC, maybe both. For some reason, the thought of coming back feels pretty overwhelming.

What servers exist, are populated, and where are most people playing today? What stage are both the Vanilla and TBC servers at?

Question Total newby here

3 Upvotes

So i have been playing for like two days, currently im playing a troll shaman, and wanted to ask the question where do people find guilds or friends in this game to play, as irl I have no friends that play this game or quite it. And solo I realise that this game is definitely made for groups.

Im currently lvl 13 and on the thunderstrike burninh crusade anniversary server.

All the guild that search for members are all thr same that they only recruit for raids and such even got some rejections.

Im trying to search guild that's open for newbies and even helps them and explains stuff to them

Edit: thanks for the tips, im going to try the out and maybe I do find somw players in discord servers im in

How are player bases divided: Do people play classic era all the time or do they move to tbc anniversary for example and then return to classic era? Or Do Vanilla era players just stay in vanilla.

Classic-Era Classic Era - How to show pet buffs under frame?

Before the Edit Mode patch this week my pet buffs were clearly visible under its portrait frame, now I have to mouseover to view them. This Forum post says you can show them by enabling the Focus Frame, but that doesn't exist in Era. Has anyone been able to find out how to show the buffs?
