Re: Unusual specs / class builds

Most of the meta will remain the same. However, the meta is still being refined even recently on private servers, and some things will work differently on classic. So there will be small changes. Not "Moonkins are great now" type changes, but more like "Elemental Shamans are slightly more viable if ...

Re: What's your biggest undiscussed worry about Classic still?

1. Toxic community that will make me hate the game as it did on private servers. Going by the Classic WoW subreddit and the official forums, I'm not sure if things will be much different. 2. Layering, everything about it. 3. Blizzard has a huge opportunity to progress classic through custom (1.13) u...

Re: io Score Addons

I have no idea what dungeon.io is, that site doesn't seem to work. These sort of addons were available on private servers. Gearscore was just kind of a curiosity; it was impossible to take it seriously because you can't determine how good a player is by adding up the ilevel of her gear. My Warrior w...

Re: Layering until phase 2

Layering cannot function in a way in which it won't be exploitable. It's just not possible. I find a lot of the anti-layering army aren't actually proposing solutions It's because a solution isn't necessary when there's no problem, or if the problem can be fixed outside of altering gameplay. I could...

Re: No unarmored epic mounts confirmed

"We didn't want to make players feel like they had to rush" is going to be the "Extra deckslots are confusing to new players" of this game. It's totally silly but typical for today's out of touch game developers. There are many more advantages to leveling quickly to 60 and obtaining an early mount, ...

Re: Layering until phase 2

If you by smoothly mean 10s lags, constant disconnects and dramatically decreased visibility. Not to mention waiting for mobs all the time. Definitely pro-layering and against the shitfest of 10k players at once. If you had 10000ms ping at launch , then that was a connectivity issue that you specif...

Re: Layering until phase 2

If you've ever played on a private server during a launch, you will know that it's pretty much impossible to play the game at launch, there are hundreds of people competing for the same mobs. It's quite the opposite, anyone who has played on the launch of a private servers knows that sharding and l...

Re: Thoughts on the armory?

No. Anything that encourages stat checking takes fun away from the experience. It's always more fun to try a fight than it is to sit on the sidelines. In one scenario, you and a bunch of guildies go to a raid and give it a shot. Take it lightly. You wipe a few times. You have a few good laughs. You...

Re: What is the argument for "need BOE for AH"

This whole thread is about PUGs. It doesn't make any sense to discuss how groups of friends or guilds distribute their loot. Obviously they have other priorities, like raid progression. And again, why does the feral Druid deserve his upgrade over the other 4 members of the group? Why is everyone in ...

Re: What is the argument for "need BOE for AH"

So the Druid deserves a Warden Staff (offspec item) more than the other members of the group deserve their Edgemaster's Handguards (mainspec item), Freezing Band (mainspec item), Stockade Pauldrons (mainspec item), etc? I'd love an explanation for that thought process. What about... everyone contrib...

Re: What is the argument for "need BOE for AH"

I will be needing on all BoP rares and epics too, I can disenchant and sell shards on AH, which progresses my character further than you guys' gear upgrade is able to. What a total bad faith argument. This has been explained thousands of times for nearly two decades, including in this very thread, ...

Re: What is the argument for "need BOE for AH"

I guess I should just count myself lucky that I played on such a great server where the idea always was that you only need on things you actually need and intend to use. So you played on a greedy server then. Not sure why you consider that lucky. Hopefully it'll be too difficult for those types of ...

Re: What is the argument for "need BOE for AH"

Yes, it could be their epic mount but it could also be a huge upgrade for a person. There you go, you answered your own question. All 5 members contributed equally to kill the mob, and all 5 members gain equal value from the item. Therefore it is unfair to claim that just one of those 5 players is ...

Re: Anyone else here only play a little of Classic back in the day?

I was playing EverQuest. I played a couple months in TBC pretty casually. Nostalrius was essentially my first time really playing WoW seriously.

Re: The Future of Classic WoW (Super Speculation)

TBC added too much crap to the game. So my vote is for newly developed classic content post-Naxxramas.

No gear resets. No flying mounts. No dailies. No easy mode.

Re: What are some of your regrets in WoW?

Not playing. I was big into EverQuest at the time (still am) and the prevailing opinion of WoW is that it was an easy mode MMO for babbies. Although that criticism wasn't entirely inaccurate, I decided to try vanilla WoW out with Nostalrius and now I'm really looking forward to play on the official ...
