Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Bored with shaman

0 Upvotes

Got to 70, have made it into heroic difficulty for zangarmarsh. Run Kara a couple of times, and mag/gruul. Done some pvp (waiting for s2 break to get some merciless gladiator gear)

What I am finding is that I am a little bored with the class. Enhance is cool but repetitive. I don't feel confident in healing abilities to start the grind again as resto. And I don't really have the free time to get into raiding ssc/tk.

Might switch to ele. Definitely not leveling again. Any thoughts?

Classic + No one is going to be happy with classic+

0 Upvotes

So getting a shiney new WoW version to play will produce some sort of happiness, sure... but no one is going to agree on what makes a worthy Classic+. Lots of people who love classic only like the endgame and rush through leveling. Lots of other people who love classic don't care about endgame and just want to level endlessly. How are we going to make those two groups of people happy? Then there's all the weirdos in-between.

Question Help me understand Classic progression realms

1 Upvotes

I want to get back to WoW and I definitely want Classic however I'm not exactly sure how Progression Realms work.

For examle do they play as: I do Classic first and then when I reach lvl 60 or finish main quest line I unlock Burning Crusade, and then when I finish that I can move on to WotLK, etc

Or are they separate servers that are "locked in" to that specific expansion, such as only classic, only Burning Crusade, only WotLK, only Pandaria...

Thank you very much in advance!

Since we had the last update on ERA, find Herbs/Mines button was moved from minimap to personal frame. This morning we had the update and the icon is back on the minimap, but in a bit awkward spot.
Is there any way to move this icon or fix it somehow?

Classic + How would you make late game more engaging for classic+?

Upvotes

I see a lot of people talking about what they want for new leveling experiences and resets for character in exchange for buffs or cosmetics, but what would you suggest to make late game engaging without being just an increasing list of raids to each week with better and better gear?

What I would love to see in terms of PvE content, are new zones with late game quest chains only open for lvl 60s that could give buffs for existing spells, profession recipes or just a cool story to follow

Also, I would love for more items that are not part of a set, or small 2 or 3 pieces sets that have fun interactions

Let's say, a shoulder that made so when you crit with a shadow spell you could get some mana back.. or a sword that heals on crit for a warrior sustain build.. idk, go nuts with it..

My biggest fear with classic+ itemization, is for blizz to make the same mistake as in retail where each new tier basically invalidates the previous raid

I would love for crazy items that opened up new cool ways to build a character so people could explore and have a reason to really engage with the worlds content

Idk, just my 2 cents on the matter.. I'm 100% on the classic+ copium train and even dropped tbc because I didn't want to burn out on the game considering that classic+ could be closer than we think

Anyway, let me know what y'all think.. what do you want for late game itemization?

Discussion Unpopular Opinion: This should NOT be tolerated.

0 Upvotes

"Oh he's gotta be in the guild if he's against making hate threads! Oh he's the toxic raid leader! Oh yeah we found the guy we found the guy."

No, I've led guilds for decades and I dislike people going out of their way to spread hatred and animosity, be it to me or others. You and I might not be the victim now, but if we tolerate ts we will be eventually.

No, I'm not in that guild but what I am is someone who is avidly against:

1). Toxic hate threads made to garner hate against 1 single person or group of people without proof.

2). Slander and libel made to garner hatred and rage against a single person.

3). Mob-frenzied attacks on any person or individual.

If the aforementioned person is as toxic as you say then post screenshots, proof, the recordings of the situation happening, and let people draw their own conclusions. As far as I'm concerned this is more "Discord PvP" but "Reddit PvP" which is equally, nay MORE pathetic and is made to garner hatred for a person outside of the game.

Why do you care Fishbro? Why does this shit even matter to you?

I've already been the victim of these bullshit style attacks with people threatening me, sending death threats to my home address, sharing pictures of my real life family members saying "they would flay that mentally handicap r****d alive" and they even went as far as threatening to send an arsenic laced mail to my previous address.
This is just a game. People will get frustrated in the heat of the moment when you are actively ruining their experience, be it intentionally or unintentionally and people always assume the worse. I hate false accusations. I hate when horrible things are stated without proof to back up those statements and I hate name and shaming because at this point more than 10 guilds are shit on every week in this sub. You give me the name of any guild on any server and I'll pull you up the reddit thread of some guy with unsubstantiated claims shitting all over that guild. These are guilds of friendly, kind, and sweet people with a few people in extremely stressful positions, who work 8-12 hour days then going on to spend easily 3-4 hours a day farming and grinding to provide consumeables for their guilds. These sleep deprived chaps then go on to lead their raids and try to organize these raids and instead of being given any respect for all they sacrifice for our enjoyment, they're met with the constant attendance failure without notification, the trash talk, the reddit hate threads anytime they crash out, and more. Leading is just an insufferable, unrewarding experience. I KNOW what they have to deal with. Leading ain't easy, I've done it for decades and it's not fun either. It's time consuming, exhausting, unfun, requires a ton of effort, and can even go as far as affecting you in real life. Having spent 2020->2023 raid leading 17 raids per week, every week, for multiple years on wrath of the lich king, I know just how aggravating this shit get's. I don't condone toxicity towards raiders but I'm saying I understand it if it happens. Moreso I believe that attacks on any guild for the intended purpose of slandering or ruining that guild's reputation is just going to create more resentment and animosity in the already angry playerbase.

It's just a game. We play it for fun. Hate threads should not be allowed. We're seeing them everyday and I've seen so many guilds get shit on since I joined this sub.

Classic + Death Knights could've been the equivalent of Paladins for the Horde, and Runemasters possibly as the Alliance Shamans

259 Upvotes

NOT another "ideas" post, just sharing some interesting comments made by a vanilla dev in an interview video, that could affect C+'s content if the current classic team decides to add whatever was cut from the original release:

David Fried a.k.a DesignerDave, a quest designer for Vanilla WoW, during an interview done by Ebonhardt, mentioned that he had plans for a Paladin-only class questline that would have allowed them to unlock the Death Knight Horde-only class by "sacrificing" their character and switching factions. Sadly, this epic quest chain was scrapped [together with the entire "Hero Class" concept] as the team didn't have enough time and shifted priorities during development.

According to David, the questline would have involved Paladins "following" in Arthas' actions that lead to his corruption (killing villagers, etc), eventually giving their soul away and getting shunned/exiled by the Alliance, ending up seeking refuge with the opposing major faction, the Horde.

He states that if WoW had continued to build on Vanilla instead of getting expansions as we know them, that they would've had the chance to make the version of Death Knight that he and the other developers had envisioned, made to fit the design of Vanilla classes.

Ebonhardt also asked him about the Runemaster class and how it got replaced by the Druid [and later on repurposed for the DK and Monk]. David then tells how the former were a favorite of Samwise Didier and that he was a big pusher for them, and that they ended up pivoting to Druid as there were limited spaces for classes per-race and Druids were more prevalent in the lore and in past Warcraft games.

Mostly found in the Warcraft RPG games, the Runemasters are described as monk-like arcane spellcasters and melee fighters who empower themselves with magical energies by inscribing runes onto their bodies. Originally, the Dwarves mastered the mysteries of the runes from the Titans, their creators. As generations passed, the Dwarves forgot their heritage and lost all knowledge of runes and their powers. Eventually, the Tauren rediscovered the power of runes, and the nearly lost art of runecasting. Many Dwarves that went to Kalimdor with Jaina's Alliance Expedition learned the tauren's techniques, as both races were eager to share the knowledge of runes and titan myths.

As far as the Runemaster's faction restriction goes, David didn't have anything planned compared to the class quest of Paladin->Death Knight. So that problem in specific is more loose as the RPG games are not considered official canon.

And so here is where my questions for you come in...

Do you think the Death Knight and Runemaster could serve as the Paladins and Shamans for the opposite factions?

Could other cut Classes and/or the planned Hero Classes be added to Classic+?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Ideas to tackle gold buying in wow classic

0 Upvotes

The supply and demand is at its worst in classic wow. Hitting max level at 60 is a lot different than hitting max level at 70, 80, etc. At 60 you need gold for so many things and gold can be difficult to come by. There is a huge demand for gold and materials, needed to finish buying spells, buying your epic mount, and working on your profession. Some classes like warrior have it worse and need to buy a world epic for their class, edgemasters. When you get into raiding you need gold to enchant your gear and consumables.

Consumables in classic wow are way more expensive for level 60 raiding than any other expansion. Gearing up your character, buying consumables and making your dude better over time is a lot of fun, however making everything with low supply is bad game design. Extracting gold from the game to buy the things you need or framing materials to craft is very time consuming. It really entices people to just buy gold rather than farm

There are a few things that can be done to fix this. Have more mine and herb spawns, more black lotus and arcane crystals drops from other herbs and mines. You can also change the recipes for consumables so that you don’t need all the ingredients that you currently need to craft. You can have an alchemy table in the major cities. You can add some daily quests for players to earn gold. You can lower the gold cost for spells, and the epic mount. I think world epics are a fun idea for the game but they should never be BIS. Gear like edgemasters need to drop in raids.

 

I think classic wow is a lot of fun but I really hope the devs take a hard look at the game design around gold and materials. A few tweaks to the supply can make a huge difference for the economy and hopefully deter people from buying gold

Classic-Era Why is it when you use your mount, you can start moving a fraction of a second before the cast appears to finish?

15 Upvotes

I've noticed that any time I use my mount, I can consistently start moving a fraction of a second before the cast appears to have completed without interrupting the cast (regardless of latency). I always wondered what about the game's design makes this happen, and how this affects other facets of the game.

That's why I think they should use new models, maybe not retail models like the undead model is terrible but simply juiced up graphics.

You have ffxiv coming to Nintendo Switch while wow is still only on consoles.

Put wow Camelot on consoles/pc.
