Queues are getting longer every day. Yesterday, I entered queue at 1 PM with 8100. Today, strangely, roughly the same queue of 8200 at 1030 AM. Pretty crazy.
Mine seems about the same on Herod today as it was yesterday.
At least we have this to look forward to https://classic.wowhead.com/news=294779/maximum-wow-classic-realm-capacity-increase
edit: seconds after this post my queue dropped from 5500 to 2800. Looks like the capacity changes are already being rolled out?

I forgot leveling was this bad. So...much...walking in durotar after you get out of Senjin village. Not to mention all the confusing ravines and lack of connecting quests. 8 to 11 took me ages
Not to mention Org is the only flightpoint lol

With hotfixes that we are currently deploying to all WoW Classic realms, we are substantially increasing the number of players that can be simultaneously logged in and playing. We expect this to result in smaller queues for realms that have large queues, and some realms should no longer have queues at all.
We will closely monitor performance and stability throughout this process.
Thank you very much.
Hotfix killed my server. Flawless flawless flawless and then dead lol
So...much...walking in durotar
Yeah, makes me remember why i appreciated the 3 second cast time +60% runspeed mount so much.
edit: aaaaaaand we're back

I’m enjoying leveling my cooking and alchemy. Wow classic really slows downs things for u to stop and “smell the flowers” (quite literally for me cause I’m a herbalist).
Also getting ur first stat-optimized green is orgasmic.

I'm sitting at lvl 19 now with just over 24 hours playtime. Things are already slowing down quite a lot, but the paste still feels great.
I'm having a great time.

I think if you want to, you can dodge a lot of walking by for example skipping doing all the quests. You can level efficiently without even questing much or at all if you want.

Yeah I forgot how much xp just killing monsters is worth compared to quest xp. It's no wonder every guide says "be sure to kill everything within your level range that you pass by", especially with no mounts til 40 lol. I'm sure just going to a dense spot and killing monsters without too much interruption is on par with actually questing, and rewards are so minor/inconsistent compared to the structure of modern WoW. AND long quest chains don't always end in some huge reward so it's not really worth stringing yourself along.
I'm soft-speccing myself for aoe frost so in the 30s and 40s I can just go aoe grind a bit when I want to. Hit 20 last night but haven't gone to train yet, so many spells to buy lol. I've been skipping the not-as-useful stuff and it STILL feels like it's keepin me poor

I usually do a mix of some questing (some quest items are good) and some grinds and definitely make trips to auction house often cause you can make so much more money that way also if you have gathering etc.. there is room to make extra gold for buying nice items / a few blue items kinda early to be stronger, I do that often for wpvp (at the cost of some /played leveling speed, well wpvp itself takes from it also ofc :D but you get stronger, and then you grind faster and more efficiently and defend yourself better against attackers too)

I’m bumbling around as a holy priest leveling very sub-optimally, and I don’t mind it one bit lol.

Same, but as a hunter. Me and my pet may not be particularly competent, but we have a good time. I think my pet has died at least 800 times. Noble creature.

What proof is there he didn't? He played without much sleep while doing really boring farming non-stop that isn't possible without attention. Also afaik he had some decently long periods where he didn't speak (+ no cam ofc).
I think Method cares more about the Ragnaros race but I kinda doubt they'll win that as well, on average they're pretty behind in comparison to some other guilds like ONSLAUGHT (Alkaizerx's guid).
Btw I'm assuming MC is going to be a 40 person raid, right? Way tougher to get that many people to work well together and be at 60 with reasonable gear, gonna be interesting.

Classic raids are 40 max but especially MC can be done with less and lower levels. 30+ people level 58+ can get you a long way.
And yes I would assume he account shared, but then the world first 60 was always going to be someone that account shared.
But Method complaining is lol when there is a clip of one of them walking around pressing space bar on computers of people who are sleeping to stop them from getting logged out.

Well, that would depend on the version of classic they're using. I remember when our guild was one of the server first to enter it, we needed to get fire res gear badly to not get fucked and it wasn't even possible to craft most of it until a later patch iirc (and that required lots of farm & reputation that didn't come quickly at time). I imagine it got easier later, I stopped raiding pretty quickly (way before the next instance got released) so I don't know. Also addons probably help too, I don't remember we used any.

Means talent and gear changes make the game easier then when MC was still originally relevant.

OK, thanks for info. If it's indeed as easy as you make it sound, I don't see how Method has any shot. Afaik for example ONSLAUGHT has way higher average level of their highest 40 guys, and I bet there are many more guilds that aren't streaming.

Shamans are just so OP lol. I can’t think of a more broken comp than 4 enh/ele shaman + war tank to run all dungeons.

Streaming but no more cam and no more talking is as close to admitting you are account sharing as it gets. There is no way he did it solo.

He has no one to account share with family wise and blizzard can spot if its diffo ips etc so unless he went real hardcore to hide it im not convinced he did. Everyone in his guild and on team speak said they don't know of anyone he could have shared with.
His mom was moaning at him mid stream iirc for playing to much etc cuz he went like 30 hours for day one, had 7 hours sleep then went again etc. He played alot of classic servers and really did his work in getting the speed leveling.
|
He had an average downtime of 4 hours for sleeping daily
He has done a TON of speedruns on private servers and knows more than most about it
For most of the time he was only 2 levels ahead of Kennymarsh, who streamed with facecam, when kenny stopped at 55 joker was 57
And for the last 2 levels he abused the hell out of layers, I don't see why it's so unrealistic that he did it without account sharing when we know kennymarsh did it on his own with not nearly as much practice
