www.twitch.tv/alexensual - Like the content? Come follow me on Twitch! I stream World of Warcraft everyday (classic, sod, cataclysm, retail etc!)
What kind of population can you expect? I have never played private but worth consideration this is awesome.
@@mufasafalldown84013-5k would not surprise me.
why are you allowing rogues to use axes and give them a whopping free 5% crit?
that shit is straight out of retail.
it was dumb when blizzard did it and you're dumb for doing it now. strongly advise you reconsider that.
WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK.
Get this shit in the algorithm and get all the vanilla fans in the know.
Imagine playing SOD over this, the difference in content is insane
SoD has close to zero content
@@brimstonevalar6053 exactly! Such a lazy effort
Im getting chills from all this information at once! Hurry up gryphon and fly us back to where we belong.
We are going home, boys.
Didnt they say that in 2019 though...?
I have the client ready to go to play on launch when this releases and I hope it's as good as it looks. Probably just going to run a dwarf hunter like I do 90% of the time even though there are new race/class combos. I just hope there aren't "challenge runs" because that is what killed Turtle WoW for me (other than the community and moderators). Grouping sucks when half the playerbase are doing hardcore and it also kills the pvp scene. Imagine not taking part in pvp in World of WARcraft before hitting the level cap. Yeah F that.
EPOCH HYPE!!
Awesome overview for Epoch!! I’m very hyped and will be tuning in for the streams. Cheers 🍻
ITS A NEW AGE - A NEW TIME!!! ALEX IS BACK!
Powerpoints are back Alexensual Classic
Been hyped for this for over a year now, good things come to those who wait. Great to see you back!
really looking forward for this server!
As someone who actually played Vanilla back in the day, I have finally accepted that we aren't going to ever get any good new Classic+ Content from Blizzard ever. It's pretty mindblowing that Private servers like Turtle WoW and now the upcoming Project Epoch will be safe havens for people who just want to enjoy Classic WoW with new additions, meanwhile official Blizzard servers will never provide players with anything actually new. I am quite excited for Project Epoch, not gonna lie...it's been in development for a long time now and the whole project/server looks absolutely Legit with new additions that make me excited to play it. Something that isn't present whatsoever on Blizzard's official servers.
yeah you won't get a good WoW experience from Blizzard, private servers are the way to go for WoW fans
I really, really hope they manage to make the open world feeling dangerous. Blizzard said they would make the open world in SoD more dangerous to compensate for increased player power, but then it ended up being a joke for most classes. I want Azeroth to feel like a world instead of a game adapted to instanced gameplay.
Same thing I’m hoping for. World will feel much more lived in with all the additions and mobs will be buffed past level 14 so they’ll be noticeably more dangerous
I swear, I thought this server was coming out next year. Holy hype this Summer is huge
Lol its dead on arrival!
@@MikeyPaperidk man..turtle wow is insanely successful...
Looks really cool and fun to play excited to play it !! Let’s just hope the population is there and stays there .
The Blizzard acquisition by Activision and it's consequences have left a profound impact on the WoW community for years, resulting in significant discontent and disillusionment among players. While certain advancements have been made in the game's systems development and regional accessibility, there has been a noticeable decline in the overall quality of the gaming experience, particularly in the realm of storytelling and expansion content. One of the most glaring issues is the deterioration in the quality of writing in recent expansions. Long-time players have lamented the loss of depth and immersion in the Warcraft universe, as quests have become increasingly formulaic and lacking in compelling narratives. Story characters feel one-dimensional, and plotlines often fail to captivate or surprise players as they once did. This decline in storytelling has contributed to a sense of detachment among players who were once deeply invested in the rich lore of WoW. Moreover, the Blizzard-Activision system's prioritization of profit-driven decision-making has led to a neglect of essential aspects of game development. Issues such as bug fixes, balance adjustments, antibotting systems and content updates have taken a backseat to revenue-generating features, leaving players frustrated by the slow response to community feedback and the apparent lack of investment in improving the leveling and core gameplay experiences. In light of these concerns, Project Epoch has stood as a growing call within the WoW community for a revolution against the prevailing Blizzard-Activision paradigm. This revolution challenges the status quo and demands a return to the high quality standards of storytelling and game design that once defined the Warcraft franchise. Ultimately, the future of World of Warcraft depends on the willingness of players to unite and advocate for change. Only through concerted action can the WoW community hope to reclaim its autonomy, dignity, and enjoyment of the game.
I thank you good sir for this expound of what we all hold dear to our hearts, those of us who have been here since the RTS’s
chatgpt ahhh comment
We need people to ignore cease and desist letters and continue to make WoW great. Blizzard is incapable of this task.
Damn bro this video made me remember how good you were at creating content like this…. Wow
expect more
Can't wait to jump in tomorrow and see what this is about. This is way closer to what I personally want in a Classic+ than SoD is.
Pretty good overview of the server. Any content creator coverage is a boon. I think the server deserves a lot more recognition for how ambitious it is and how much content it's releasing just at launch. It's the only private server I'm looking forward to!
Nice! I was waiting for this to drop.
Incredible stuff from the Project Epoch team. Keep the updates coming Alex
Can't wait for launch
I'll definitely be there on launch day!
The man himself is back! I'll be following this project with great interest. The devs seem professional enough (for a change)
Yes they do!
Sign up for a project epoch account now. 3rd open beta starts next week!
Project epoch hype!
Could be the Nostalrius equivalent of this decade.
Bingo!!
exactly
if it got 10k players on day 1 and maintains it, then it'll be the next Nostalrius.
@@ryuno2097 to much for vanilla...something around 5-6k better
@@brimstonevalar6053 You dont know what are you talking about, on turtle wow is 5k players and we need more cause its MMORPG
I really hope they find an easier way to onboard players, the conversion rate from retail and classic will definitely be higher if its easy to download and start playing + some time and money is put on marketing. Didnt even know about project epoch until I accidentally stumbled upon your video and now im sold. Looking forward to this private server, im totally sold. Also really enjoy your content, keep it up :)
They’ve already made their own launcher so they’re on the right track
The 3.5.5 client was all it took to convince me. I love what Turtle WoW has done, but that old 1.12 client where all my macros don't work is atrocious.
Its 3.3.5, not classic wrath, but will see how fps and smoth are..
nicely put video, back on track
He is back baby!
THE SOD ANNIHILATOR! 😎
Yeah, this looks much more like what the community asked for.
Sod is like a retail interpretation of classic, while we wanted classic plus
@@xMorbidArtx i hope so, i don't like those cash grab private servers
Lmao anyone who thinks SoD is like “retail” is absolutely braindead.
Heroic leap got removed and Arms now has Bladestorm as a capstone talent
any major changes for prot?
@@brimstonevalar6053 I’m assuming just normal TBC prot. I did see that Devastate now works with rogue’s Expose Armor now though
The site doesn’t say that heroic leap got removed. Last I checked it’s still a skill purchasable at level 40.
Noted and upvoted
As a SoD/Classic enjoyer this is pretty sick.
Looking forward to this server
Looks sick. Wish I wasn't so fucking busy!
Yeah, my problem as well. I have played Turtle for over a year and still don't have a level 60 yet but 3 level 40's and a handful of 20-30's.
here we go baby
HELL YEAH
Great vid! I’m hyped! Dragon Dogma 2 is my Project Epoch waiting room.
same :P
Epoch hype
Turtle WoW shaking in their boots right now.
Good. The european raid times don't work for my American blood!
Turtle wow is good too. Whispers say Turtle wow 2.0 will add Northrend in vanilla style.
@@rbtsavageBased in london, so probably ping wont be a big problem, but it def will have both lots of NA and EU pop as well.
@@PiPLevyyTurtle wow 2.0? Where did you hear this?
@@tylerk9455 You have it on their website.
And as for Northrend. These are just rumors, not an official announcement.
In Europe on vacation Alex, disappointed I missed first couple uploads. Can’t wait to return home in a couple days, get a cup of black coffee and enjoy these vids. Looking forward to the beta as well, I have high hopes for Epoch.
You can hear the excitement in his voice
I told myself I'd stay away from WoW but this sounds too good to miss out.
This video so crazy I had to comment on my alt account
Great that you're back!
Wow... Speechless. A group of devs with an actual head on their shoulders. They're making great decisions. This gives me a lot of confidence in the future of this server.
Great to see you back, looking forward to playing Project Epoch and watching your content! Just ignore the trolls this time, don't let them get to you.
Quit SOD in p2, started to feel like a chore more than fun, Epoch really is the only version of wow calling me atm, it's what I personally wanted wow plus to be, new world content etc, it has that new exploration vibe feeling that OG vanilla had... Quite excited, hope it's as good as it seems
I sincerely hope you haven't ventured into P3 because it's puke!!
Turtle WOW is also doing a good job at custom content
start practicing vanillaplus this year on vanillaplus
Much love bro glad to see you back
Damn, might try this out!
Let's gooooo
potential new home
yeah lots of potential with this one!
Maybe this will hold my interest in wow, SOD just ain’t hitting
if this delivers, it will be 1000x better than SOD
Cant wait !!!!
Glad to see you back! Hope you are doing well IRL too!
hey man come play
The return of the king
Client all set up ready for beta hype hype!
same here just set everything up!
Holy shat what a time to be alive
This looks great. They should think about things like transmog, increasing inventory and bank space, perhaps a repair bot, bank mule auction house and mailbox summonable pets for a fair amount of gold. And lastly more mounts choices like twow but obtainable within the game.
Also unless gold is easy to come by, 1000g for dual spec is on the high side.
21:14 VOLCHAAAAAN, Best fire girl of all of the burning steppes
oh wow i just randomly stumbled across this I'll have to try it out. always wanted to play an undead paladin plus sod is laughable. interesting stuff i see beta is tomorrow.
Looks promising!
New Alex Saga get hype!!!
You're a legend Alex this is amazing
I'm not personally a fan of removing faction exclusivity from shaman and paladin, but given how much else this has going for it I'm still quite excited to see where it will go. Nice summary video I will probably try this server out.
this is my stance as well, there's too much other content and ideas to throw away because of 1 or 2 disagreements I have about the server
I'm bringing up "fuck UD paladins" every second day on discord.
I actually dont mind it because i like playing Paladins but i hate the Alliance and only play Horde :DD
Here it doesn't matter to much. But on SoD it is outrageous. Shaman singlehandedly cause a massive PVE/PVP disparity between the horde and alliance. Furthered by shamanistic rage being a huge mana battery unavailable to the alliance. As for PVP, they could do massive balance just by having them available to each faction. Shaman and Pallies staying more or less the same here shouldn't affect things too much. Especially with the priest mana racial/abililty previewed
it will make pvp more balanced in the long run. For the first few months there will be SHITLOADS of undead paladins though which will cause BG's to favor horde though.
Man I am very impatiently waiting for this to drop. So done with the half assed SoD that Blizz put out. Right now they haven't communicated with the community in weeks. Hoping it drops soon!
I was trying turtle wow today and community seems super active but man that old client looks terrible. Trying to find addons to make it look better.
I'm excited.
Gonna be playing warrior as ive always done since 2004
see you there, I will be going holy priest
Will you be boosting to lvl 45 in the beta of haven't made ur mind up yet? Looking forward to playing the beta myself 😊
I think for starters I will boost, I want to see the end game content
amazing. cant wait
Pogchamp welcome back
I like the idea of gdkp ONLY if there is zero purchasable gold.
This was an early Q2 2024- Alexensual Returns
I waiting for these server 2 years. Im very hype
Salute
I was skeptical about this server… until this video. Wow (no pun intended) does this look absolutely incredible. I think you’ll see me at launch. Troll warlock hype!!!
Hope the PVP will very active because I mostly get my end game gear through pvp.
Nice, can't wait for Q2
This looks super interesting. Maybe it could have more custom areas and zones like Turtle WoW, but that could be added later. Secondly they absolutely need to rename Zeppelin District to Valley Of Winds. That name made absolutely no sense lore wise.
I agree I do not like the name of the zeppelin area
I might roll a UD Pally.
as a paladin hater, they do look very cool
Love the new look Alex!
HOLY BASED
How fast will be leveling there ?
I just started on Turtle WoW their newer but smaller server and having a blast. I love the slow journey and smaller but friendly community it feels like 2006 again for me. And, with their custom professions, city parts in stormwind, zones, dungeons, quests, items etc it feels like a completely new game with wonder (in a good way). I feel like the majority of MMORPGS has become mobas and almost FPS games. Turtle feels like a mmoRPG. I play without addons or only with AI Voice over addon.
I just found out about this server. Will this be something for me?
It sounds like turtlewow. i've leveled 2 characters to 60 on turtle and it was a blast!
I played a beta and being a tauren priest was hilariously fun
I’m playing SoD and really want to try this out tonight lol I created an account for this like 2-3 months ago. 😂
Great video. Looking forward to more private server content.
I'll play this over turtle wow
Are hybrids going to be meme specs or actually useful here?
go to the class section of the video to find out : )
big fan of harder world and doungens, make the game a challenge again for the players :)
Interesting idea, it looks really cool. But the lack of Blood Elves is a deal breaker.
Plz tell me that holy pallys will have holy powers? Cuz WOTLK pallys without holy power feel kinda lack luster...
I like the day night cycles but worried how that will effect quests
13:22 Where did you find this maps?
the website I think
Hello !
I'm interested in your project as i've been looking for a decent community to get into myself, one question on my mind is :
Will there be any Shenna related content ? Servers without shady deals behind the scenes are rare to come by in these times and I just want to play the game and have fun in the WoW classic era "ethically".
Thank you.
Yes
