World of Warcraft

[Andee]

I don't even bother looking at SKADA when there's a DH in my instance. I get excited about doing 120k dps, meanwhile a DH is peaking at like 400k.

I was happy with my 180k DPS the other day. I wonder how DH's will perform now with the new patch.

Warlock all the way!

Outland - Alliance level 110 warlock.

Oh my god, you're actually enduring as a warlock during this expansion?

So how about that new expansion and classic eh?

[Audiate]

New expansion looks cool (nice avatar btw), even though I stopped playing early on in Legion because the price outweighed the content near the end of my time playing, it looks like it might be worth getting in to. Shame I don't have many NA friends who still play.

(EDIT: I think the style of the Alliance troops is getting a bit too "Warhammer: Age of Sigmar" esque but w/e)

Classic was an amazing announcement, I'm surprised I haven't heard more buzz than I have. I'm really interested to see what aspects of Classic they're staying loyal to and what qualities of life/straight-up improvements they'll bring over. Updated graphics would be nice, of course, but for some the old models might be too nostalgic to not have. Maybe they'll have choices for that.

Given that I was always pretty good for the scarce amount of time I played it, I'm curious what they'll do with PvP in both the new expansion and in Classic. Also, Classic should definitely have an alternative price tag or something--pay the normal $15/m or whatever it is for the newer content and Classic, or pay like $5-10/m for just Classic. Otherwise there's not much reason to use the alternative, less legal clients, unless Blizzard's version is just vastly, infinitely superior.

WoW is definitely on its way out since the gaming marketplace has turned its focus more to in-and-out, match-by-match, collect-the-cosmetics games, but hopefully it can round up the remaining MMO-playing populous and get them back to where a lot of them started.

I am speechless, why is the cinematic trailer more towards chinese MMO?

[Bob_The_Drunken_Villager]

I'm still sad about Blizzcon. I wanted to have a Naga/Nzothish kind of expansion. That's not to say that we could maybe have that with a twist in the story (I mean it would make sense to invade out of the seas when both factions are weakened right..?).

Never the less I'm probably going to play the new expansion for a bit, perhaps I'll like it. Plus the idea of retaken Lordaeron with my Scarlet Crusade transmogged Paladin just feels badass.

[joer5835]

I am actually super excited for the new expansion. I am getting really tired of these constant doomsday end of the world threats we need to take down in WoW. Legion was the asbolute worst with that. Now, we are going back to what we were in vanilla: small heroes and explorers where the focus is on the uncharted realms we are going to explore instead of fighting a fucking Titan God himself. Plus Kul'Tiras and Zandalar were known to exist since vanilla. They are pretty important in the lore so finally going there is gonna be great.

As for classic, I'm not that interested in it. Sounds like a fun side adventure whenever I have not much to do in BfA. But I am happy for everyone that wanted this.

[Audiate]

@joer I totally agree. In my opinion, the best adventure games and the best parts of adventure games are when you're just some random ass scrub with a bunch of other random ass scrubs who go and almost accidentally achieve greatness. It's what made the original Star Wars, Final Fantasies, Chrono Trigger, etc. so good.

Plus, it just makes more sense when 40 or so people are beating up these big tough enemies if they're not all equipped with god-tier weapons, like Ashbringer. Why are there a dozen people with Ashbringers fighting this guy? Who cares shut up. That said, fuck me, I loved having Ashbringer lmao. I'm such a white knight Paladin fanboy nerd lol. Favorite class in WoW and Hearthstone.

[Furrnox]

Yeah everyone having legendary weapons was kinda silly.

I'm extremely hyped for classic and will try to play it competitively again.
People say it's only about nostalgia are extremely wrong.
I got 4 level 60s on blizzlike servers when they came out, that's without any extra bonusses.
Took me a max of 2 weeks to get to level 60 per character, 1.5 week was my record on my Human warlock.
The game is a bit more of a grind but it's more enjoyable to me, it feels more like a real MMO.
You see people all around the world and actually have to ask eachother to help with stuff.
Even in guilds, the chat was constantly active.
And let me tell you when you clear raids like BWL/AQ40 and Zul'Gurub, along with many others.
Oh it's epic, and consistent.
But it's still not too hard once you know everything, maybe 1-2 hours before a raid you start preparing and if you get every buff you can along with every preparation you can clear BWL in 30-45 mins lmao.

Will nolife the shit out of it until I get bored of it and they hopefully eventually make a TBC and WOTLK server.
This summer I cleared Kara+TK+SSC on a TBC Blizzlike server and made a shitton of friends that helped make the whole experience fun on a daily.

Modern wow is just a bit ''meh'' to me, played it for years and got around 30k hours on my account but it just doesn't feel too right, can't fully devote myself to it cause I feel too distanced since I haven't played much in the latest expansions.
If the new xpac is something that really speaks to me, I'd play it. Why the fuck not.
But I ain't one to bash modern wow for what it is along as I feel like Classic players shouldn't be bashed for wanting to enjoy their game.

[Audiate]

^ This.

I'm definitely pretty excited for the Classic "experience," where people had to actually play together. It's something I always wished to experience.
