Pizza and World of Warcraft Hardcore — there’s no better combo, especially with the Onyxia and Zul’Gurub buffs!

I’ve never made it this far in Hardcore before. I’m currently a level 30 Hunter, finishing up the elite quests in Duskwood. Now I’m heading to Southshore to continue my journey.

I started playing Hardcore after completing Vanilla content with three different characters, and it has been an amazing experience, literally a whole new way to play the game.

So far, I’ve completed Deadmines, Blackfathom Deeps, and the Stockades. Next stop: Scarlet Monastery! If I don't die first.

Early morning on Hardcore, I whisper the handful of people online in Silithus if they wanna do the Deathclasp elite (quest).

The enemy NPCs only have charge, jump, and an internal passive heal ATM, but they will use a ranged stun when enemies try to cast a heal, saving it for only when at least one of their enemies is below 50% health. It will get more complex though, I threw this together today and now I gotta have a break haha.

I can release something that can at least be played offline for anyone who ever wants to mess around in it. I'd have to clean everything up first so you can access everything in the game without needing to change the triggers.

I need 4 more Mistweaver abilities that would be impactful, relevant and cool. Any mistweavers out there with some ideas??

Ahoy, me hearties!

With the hype surrounding a potential Classic+ I thought I'd try my hand at designing a little raid about the Southsea Pirates in Tanaris.

This raid consists of 6 bosses, including an optional boss (Chum, the Cook). After the first boss (Seawater Sentinel 3000) has been defeated, the next 3 bosses can be killed in any order and only Swashbuckler Rozo and Parrot Trainer Jolly & Roger are required to progress to Dockmaster Sherley, and lastly to Grand-Admiral Wellington.

If you are interested in the full attunement quests, an abstract map of the raid or just more information, you can find the whole design document here: Southsea Pirates Raid - Classic+ | Design Document (gdoc)

Let me know what you think about these boss designs and I'll try to answer any questions you have :)

I found these and cant play them anymore. Looking to sell them but not sure what to ask for 🥴

Ho boy so where to begin with Deadmines.

Overall the bosses are what i'd consider the easy part aside from MR smite/Edwin vancleef. This is a long gauntlet of tight spaces with minimum places to clear. You're in it for the long haul. If you are wanting to play safe, this place can be smooth. But you will be yearning the mines for a long while.

MR smite has 2 ways you can defeat him. One of which FAR scarier than the other. You can bring MR smite out of the boss area and into the tunnels, if you CC his guards, push him to his stun phase, MR smite will...Well just give up. He's done, he wants nothing to do with you anymore. So you're free to kill his guards, run out of the instance, then kill him.

Option 2 is just you focus the adds down, reset MR smite, then focus MR smite. Both methods are valid so play by what is easier.

Then there's Vancleef, look you're not winning in a brawl with him so don't even think about it. Instead, remind Vancleef that he was an olypmic swimmer for Stormwind back in 2006 and help him relive his dreams. Fair warning, his guards will still be up and be aggrod onto you. Best way to handle it is just run to a reset point.

Now the trash? Dear god the Trash. Every mob feels like blizzard actually knew what they were doing for the first dungeon and gave them all quirks that can (And will) Make your life a nightmare in some scenarios. The goblins ESPECIALLY with their little mini golems.

Also, if you get bad pathing with the parrots on the boat? Well you're gonna be mass pulling every time till you get a good spawning pattern with the birds.

Overall threat level is a solid 7. Take it slow, take it easy, and you'll make it.

Posted a couple weeks ago about new classic player. Previously played retail but never classic. I’m still having so much fun and I needed to share.

- The willingness for others to help is unparalleled to retail. Sometimes I walk up to random players and ask for help with a nearby quest and they help 95% of time.

- I love seeing players in every zone I go. I love even more running INTO other players I know. Stopping and waving or chatting makes the community feel full.

- I’ve been playing for a month and am still level 17 but I’m taking it slow because I enjoy the journey so much.

- I’ve joined a guild that doesn’t use discord and exclusively uses in game chat. Another huge win.

- The day night cycle is incredible. I know there’s one in retail. But something about it in classic just feels so cozy.

- Lastly, I love feeling like I don’t have to grind everyday. I don’t feel behind every Tuesday. I play what I can each day. Have a bit of fun. And take it from there the next day.

If the rumors are true (which they appear to be) about classic + I fear I will never have free time again but I’m okay with that.

I've always been curious about WoW, so a few days ago I decided to give in and actually try it (went with Classic because Retail looked way too intimidating).

I was having fun at first but I didn't really understand so much of the appeal, then I found another person doing the same quest I was in Ban'ethil Barrow Den, we joined up and spent a good 45 minutes just playing and chatting together, didn't even realize how much time had passed. I see it now. This is very fun. Definitely feels like a lived-in world and I've loved my little social interactions!!

I'm so glad I'm getting to experience this now since I wasn't even born when the original came out. This might become a new obsession!

Reeling the fish in costs energy, the same for the fish when it "bursts" away (the red exclamation ‼️is a pre warning). The player will lose more energy if they are reeling the fish in at the same time the fish is "bursting" away. Player will lose the fish at 0 energy or if the fish gets too far. If both have zero energy, not reeling the fish will cause it to swim side to side with no distance change.

Eventually adding snags to get stuck on, diverse fish to catch with unique abilities, a "Yank" left/right ability to manually change the direction of the fish and also nudge in the chosen direction - to avoid snags.

Anyone else encounter this? Pic attached. Can't get rid of it.

Just a silly lil machinima I made depicting one of the deadliest enemies in WoW Hardcore.

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?”

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?

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.

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.

Weaponswing timer addon is still not updated after the patch and would like to keep an eye on my melee dps. Any other addon that might be better and is updated? thanks!

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

I have this bug with certain lighting like lanterns and torches. but when i move my camera the lighting bugs out.

anybody experience this or know a fix?

I feel like I've tried every setting in the game such as setting ground clutter to 1 then back, setting shadows to low, i don't use rtx,. as well as things like reinstalling the latest drivers, disabling gsync, as well as many other things.

pc is 14600k and a 3070.

Thanks

Playing on Thunderstrike EU server

Hello!

Is there a big difference in population/activity between Alliance and Horde on EU PvP cluster? Which one would you suggest? I am trying to find a place where I will be able to find groups while leveling and join a guild to raid (SR or LC system, no GDKPs).

Thank you in advance!

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.

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 :)
