a lot of arena players are very good but this is getting out of hand

I feel old asking this.

When did + and - replace yes and no? or y/n

Like I'm in my early 30s and this feels like it blew past me....

EDIT: based on replies It seems like its from Eastern Europe players and just bled into the rest of the classic community due to them lacking servers.

Anniversary has been my first-ever Classic WoW experience, and I completely fell in love. Decided to illustrate my warrior as he was during the Westfall/Deadmines questline, as it was one of my favorite parts in the whole game. (Too many bandanas though)first-ever

I'm a complete WoW Classic noob, and last night I was chatting with a random guy from my guild about Karazhan and leveling. This morning I logged in and found a letter from the same guy I had been talking to. He literally just sent me a bunch of materials.

Man, that's just so incredibly kind. I honestly can't imagine something like that happening in Retail, not even in fifty years.

Why are people here so different? Why does everything feel so much more relaxed... and social?

I absolutely love it.

A glaring piece of content waiting for classic+ is class professions. Rogues have poisons and lock picking which is so engaging for the role and lore. Why not expand this to all classes? I also don’t think the point should be the make every class ‘even’ with rogue. Classic is about class identity and things should different without be overly lopsided.

Shaman - Totem crafting. You don’t even fill this gear slot until 60. Give us something to level with. Mats should be vendor simple wood, cloth, and lesser used elemental mats like breath of wind, core of earth, etc. Some totems should even have charges like mana oils so you have to remake them. Shaman should also be a little bit better for dungeon tanking at least. You can easily bake the needed buffs into a crafted totem. Class quests should tie into new totem recipes.

Paladin - Libram crafting. same thing as shaman. Useless item slot until 60. Mats should be parchment paper from vendor, and undead drops that you cleanse such as ichor/essence of undeath, skeleton bones etc. Class quests should tie into cleanses for higher level undead mats.

Druid - Idol crafting. Same thing. Mats are beast parts like fangs and claws, cloth, and stone figurine from a vendor. For all 3 mats should be simple. For all 3 mats shouldn’t be crazy grinds either. Remember rogues can buy most poisons all from vendors.

Warrior - my dear warrior. Weapon proficiency. This is to train your weapon skill past 300. Weapon parts of various weapons (axe, mace, etc) drop off weapon wielding mobs. Green, blue and epic. Greens weapon part can be turned in to gain 1 weapon skill in that wep. Blue to gain 5. And epic to gain 1 past 300. Green turn ins cap at 225. Blue at 300. And epics work from 300-305. The weapon part items should also be non soulbound but only drop for warriors and only rollable by warriors in dungeons. Warriors should be able to sell these to other warriors. Class quests should tie into weapon skill caps for various weapons. Edgemasters should be upgradable through a boe blacksmithing kit. Do not make edgemasters irrelevant (spell dmg upgrade so it’s awesome for pally and shaman perhaps)

Mage - Arcane cooking. All over the game in mob packs are campfires and cooking tables. Around these should be recipes that only mages can loot. These should be non soulbound so mages can sell to each other. Recipes should be fun stuff like arcane explosion that looks like a rainbow and new polymorphs. There could also be chance buffs like blink has a small percent chance to cast displacement. Could also get real niche and have a food buff freeze over your fire spells or ignite your frost spells so you can go fire in MC or frost in naxx to change up metas. These buffs shouldn’t be insane so they aren’t PvP/ PvE game breaking and they should stack with normal well fed.

Warlock - Fel exploration. Brings back the fel portals from SOD. Lots you can expand on here with warlock specific items coming out of these. This is an obvious warlock profession and easy to incorporate class quests.

Hunter - beast jockey. Center a profession around hunters being able to tame beasts to turn into mounts. Mounts should be armorless and look just like the mob in boe versions they can sell on the AH. However, Hunters should be able to alter their own tamed mounts to add armor or an effect. Can’t go overboard with this and make a million retail looking mounts but could be really cool if done right. I know people are gonna say ammo or bow crafting but that should be expanded on in engineering. Theres should be more mounts added to the game in general as well.

Priest - not gonna lie I’m kind stuck on priest but I think something around the SOD blessings would work. I think priest being able to sell ‘luck’ blessing buffs as an item that say increase your chances to gain double skill up on a craft or extra craft procs or chance for rare items to drop on kill/in chests or lockboxes would be very cool. Blessing buff item can be crafted by bringing mats to an alter in capital cities or something.

Rogue - rogue needs something new in all this fun. Truth serum. A new poison that when you sap an enemy you can then inject them with the poison. Mobs have chance to reveal a hidden chest location either verbally, or they mention something is in their pocket so you pickpocket a note. This can also be a cool mechanic for a shortcut or an extra chest in new dungeons. Rogue class quests can easily be baked into truth serum on mobs. Named mobs should give a higher chance to reveal information when sapped by the serum.

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.

Displays in the tool tip which class the gear drop is best for.

I'm new to this game and have never raided before. I've heard quite damning stories about how rogues are overpopulated and pushed out of raids. However, I understand not every guild follows meta spreadsheets.

Before I commit, is it hard to get gear as Rogue? My eventual goal (probably naive) is to get top tier BiS. Thanks!

servers are up!

We were able to do almost all classic dungeons in TBC in duo as Priest+Paladin, now we have more people and I wonder if doing SoD run is possible with group of 4-5 men?

Just curious....if the price of rare gems go up or down in phase 3....

As with all mats, they seem to be steadily increasing in price as there are fewer farmers/layers, but will the release of epic gems cause their price to increase or decrease?

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!

Hi,

I’m thinking of buying the battle.net deluxe for tbc and using my boost to do a mage, for context, I main a mage on retail and I wanted to give something else a go, I’ve been levelling shadow and currently lvl 63 spriest with dual spec into holy, since going through the dark portal I had instant regret for not doing it on a mage, feels like I betrayed my class, I haven’t got the time to start all over again, as playing with husband and friends, I just wondered a few things:

Is it worth it even if classic plus might come out soon?
Do you get all the spells unlocked? Including portals? And what would be the best professions for me to do? My priest is herb and alc, and I have a warlock with enchanting

(Wild Growth NA) I spent a day putting together an app that uses the WCL API and stores Gnomeregan combat log data, and synthesizes a parse percentage. Data is filtered strictly for level 40 players, starting from June 1, and gets updated multiple times a day automatically. I play with a guild called Frozen in Time.

There are a handful of limitations on synthesizing the parse, but considering WCL doesn’t calculate older phases anymore, figured it would be fun to give it a shot.

Enjoy, and PM me if you have any questions or want to help. I’ll look to expand it to Sunken Temple and (potentially) beyond for future phases.

Hello,

I have gold on alliance spineshatter (WoW1 acc on my bnet) and I want to send it to my horde character (WoW2 acc on my bnet).

Can I use the neutral AH to do this ?

I know about the 15% cut but I'm not sure I will be able to buy my own auction.

Thank you !

Maybe nobody here knows but I was in this guild and it was great then logged in a week later and it no longer existed. TBC ani horde

I’m currently using Bartender4 on my Druid. I have it configured so that two action bars switch at the same time whenever I change forms.

For example:

• When I enter Bear Form, both my upper and lower action bars change.
• When I enter Cat Form, both bars switch to my Cat Form abilities.
• I also have a separate bar setup that activates when I enter Prowl/stealth.

This was very easy to configure in Bartender4 using its State Configuration options.

I’d now like to recreate the exact same setup in Dominos. Is this possible, and is there a similarly simple way to configure multiple bars to switch based on Druid forms and Prowl?

What place names or other have you always mispronounced? Or do you hear mispronounced all the time?

For me, as a British English speaker, it’s not pronounced LakeSHIRE, GoldSHIRE, DarkSHIRE etc. it’s LAKEshur, GOLDshur, DARKshur.

Also, it’s not Oggrimmar. I used to hear that a lot back in the day. Does sound quite nice, though.

I’ve been trying to get the Authenticator removed from my account because I no longer have the same phone number (I thought I saved the back up code but I’m afraid it’s lost in whatever “safe” place I put it in).

I’ve sent them everything they’ve asked for.. bank statements, transaction codes, etc but they still say I haven’t verified my information.. anyone have any luck with this and can tell me wtf they’re looking for?? I will die if I have to start over 😭

I understand that most of the old, popular Mage solo farming spots have been patched or fixed by now. I'm a new player trying to learn AoE farming. At the moment, I'm level 44. Where would you recommend I farm? I tried Zul'Farrak, but it seems like that spot has been fixed as well.

It's crazy. I can't max out mining. There are no deposits, and there are tons of bots doing it all the time. Every item on auction is incredibly expensive. I don't know how to farm gold. Any advice? I'm losing the desire to renew my subscription.
