Be prepared to spam tradechat for 30 minutes to find a tank, then have everyone fly to the nearest FP and run past a shitload of mobs to get to the instance, only to have 1 person leave and someone have to hearth back while the others wait at the entrance, then do it all over again. Honestly, I don't think anyone but people interested in nostalgia value would be interested. | ||

If i had to travel 30 minutes to a raid in <currentYear> though? Fuck that man, aint no one got time for that. I can drop school 5 times in pubg in that time. Or play three hots matches, or one dota match etc etc. I enjoyed the company so while i did mind having to farm trashmobs for 30 minutes before every raid so i had enough shards to give out healthstones for at least 2 tries, i accepted and did my duty for the people i raided with. If i had to do this right now? Fuck off. Vanilla was full of gimmicks and quirks that got streamlined away, like ammo on hunters, melee weapons on hunters, wands on casters etc. Which is really miss dearly. But boy will people have a rude awakening when they realize it wasnt all fun without QoL that we have right now. You think KJ class stacking is bad? Second boss in mc required you to farm the fiirst boss for at least 4 ids so that you can bring 4 hunters with tranquil shot (yes, the boss fucking dropped a skill book that was otherwise unavailable). Viscidius required everyone to have a frostspell. So if your class had none you had to farm a lvl 30 dagger from a dungeon so you can autoattack no matter whatclass you are and be useful. On ouro if you brought a melee because they had no range twink, they had to shoot with a bow. You can imagine how much dps that did. And dont make me mention how many guilds broke apart because they couldnt recruit 8 tanks for 4 horseman. Or how many guilds broke apart because their tanks ditched them for a guild that needed tanks for 4 horseman... Vanilla was fun because of the community feeling. You wont get it back in 2017 with discords and your mmo-champs and your wowheads. | ||

Not mostly. The feeling that you are mastering the moment rather than just cruising trough it as free ride is very different. You feel like your time is better spent, and you get a challenge feeling in detail on everything you do. Like I hate leveling in retail, its just a big grind on easy mode, nothing you really do matter except XP. Leveling on vanilla is an even bigger timeconsuming grind but its also an investment, and everything you did along the way was a lot more difficult and more rewarding. This is what an MMO experience should be like. Now you just skip everything in between and push for endgame. And yes, I did go back and play on Nostalrius leveling til 40 or so on several chars last year. I got suprised how much I enjoyed it and missed that type of game over current retail. maybe you will too | ||

I got suprised how much I enjoyed it and missed that type of game over current retail. maybe you will too No I wont, because I played on a bunch of private servers for some throwback fun after I quit hardcore play in Cata. The main tether is friends you can get to do it with you and once the nostalgia and novelty wears off its pretty easy to get bored. Id much rather push for endgame. That also is my personal preference of course. I've never been able to play the game super casually. (I just tried again after skipping Tomb and going to Blizzcon lets see how long that lasts.) But if you enjoy rewarding leveling experiences plenty of games do that better than wow does or really ever did for that matter. Ive done my fair share of leveling over 400+ days at that game in the space of 4 expacs and some private server fun. I dont need that anymore :p no matter how much you try and romanticize it. But I am sure with people time on their hands will enjoy it. Especially those who never did it or want to play with friends. Also I might add, Ive played some on a hyper op 3x Xp type BC server, dont rem what it was called. That was actually just as entertaining as regular servers and for about the same length of time. | ||

I mean like, 1-60 takes TIME, like 3-6 months for a normal human and there's a lot to experience on the way, honestly i think it will be super fun | ||

Yea, I think technically Silvermoon and Azuremyst are on the Outlands map as far as where they exist in the game. They aren't finished from above so if you glitch into them they are facades with no textures or actual finished buildings. | ||

I know it's random and all with increasing pity rate (nice idea borrowed from diablo along with M+ keys and affixes) but should I be roughly close to getting something or do I need another like 5 days played before I can reasonably expect something? Just hours logged does nothing. Have you been doing raids? M+? completing Emissaries ect? Do you already have all for your loot spec? if so, try changing it to something else. | ||

I've gotten a couple alts to 110 in the last week, and they both got their legendaries within a couple days of hitting 110. | ||

Just write down all of the major content that you have done (mythic dungeons, raid bosses, emissary caches, minor rifts) my last two, skipping or simplifying a bunch of content 1 weekly chests 5 caches 11 raid bosses 0 mythic dungeons 20 minor rifts Druid token drop ----------------------------- 1 weekly chests 11 caches 20 raid bosses 1 mythic dungeons 58 minor rifts Warrior token drop The first legendary drops many times faster, i think like 5 times faster than the ones that i'm supposed to get - and with the amount of legendaries dropping to random people around me and guildies i don't think that this is particularly lucky of me. I've been doing 50% dungeon runs (with M+ cache) and 50% questing for flying along with all the weekly LFR with possible upgrades. questing is zero contribution to legendaries, only the caches help; mythic+ is one of the lowest. LFR bosses are fine but can take a long time to kill relative to their returns, you can wipe a normal EN in 25 minutes no problem but LFR used to take me several hours to get through because of the quality of group members ------------ Maybe for some people but not all. People said the same thing about classic RS before it spiked in popularity beyond the main game. Early WoW (vanilla+tbc, even wotlk) is quite different to modern WoW and the changes are not even close to all being straight upgrades, there were many tradeoffs along the way | ||
