THE DREAM IS REAL BOYSSSSS!!!!
love the videos recently! thx for keepin me updated:)
If they are really scared that 1 million people will create accounts on the first day, and so they are keeping sharding on the table for that reason, then I understand that. But the actual answer to that problem is to create / merge realms as needed. If sharding is only used as a buffer, because creating realms and forcibly moving players is a big deal, and sharding can temporarily ease that pain, then okay.
Note that sharding is very much like narcotics here. Useful in the short term, kills you in the longer term.
sounds like blizzard have understood the concept of vanilla and it´s enhancement of wow players !
I needed to hear this. I was so worried about classic and this is a ray of hope
We've still gotta deal with reporting, sharding, and loot sharing though
At this point I'm just re-watching ever video covering the same Blue Post today
Esfands was the best, I've never seen him like that
@@bmwjoey25 the nerdgasm was great lol
@@bmwjoey25 Yeah.. He was so hype xD
I really liked Defcamp&Melderon's too.
im in the same boat, my erection hasnt gone away in over 16 hours, i just want to make it stop
I'm so impatient for classic.
im so fucking hyped im a bit scared
I usually dont get hyped for any game but classic is dfferent. Trying to play other games before classic is released and im getting bored of them. Its effecting my gaming time lol
I can't even think straight, I'm so excited!
get a life...
Can’t wait
Everyone making the same video.
I Love World of Warcraft
And I hate it, stopped playing when greedy fucks introduced real money shop into game at the end of wrath
@@Diegoshadow85 did u not watch the video or even read the title?
I still don't feel sharding should be a primary concern at the beginning. If it goes past the starting areas... then there is an issue.
I'm much more concerned about auto-squelch from right-click reporting.
@@lobsterminion693 It didn't bother method so it won't bother you.
If the servers can't handle starting zones than they likely can't handle world PVP or capitay cities. I think this is the concern.
On launch day I really hope I land in a queue of 749 people just as excited as me. Cherishing the last few seconds waiting just a little bit longer to play. The anticipation is priceless!
sounds like they´ve finally have understood the impact vanilla had on mmo games !
They didnt understand shit. They wish they could keep up with the current system of how the game work. Blizzard wishes we loved BFA way more than Vanilla.
The only reason why they do this is because its their last chance to keep this game alive
They dont do this because we want this, they do this to save themselves.
''you think you do but you don't''
Yea right you dipshits.
Heavenly Bear just try and enjoy classic or go play Apex
I dont know what Apex has to do with any of this.
Heavenly Bear figured thats what most pepole play now
SOUNDS like it yeah lol u said it right.. it always sounds like it... but there is a whole different story to what the say and what we get in the end i mean come on they proved us so many times that they listen to us right?! LOL they dont care about players they dont care about this so called "wow comunnity" (that died like 10 years ago btw) but its okay im not stoping people to resub to the game just to play classic it cant be a snitchy move just to save the money they lost out of retail right? no way :D have fun playing "classic" i aint supporting this anymore did the last years and wont do it again.. bye bye wow :) and all these payed youtubers/streamers who are still pushing this crap i have no words left for you xD..
This is what we needed to hear. Proof that they at the very least hear us and still can and will listen to the community! Only a few more hiccups to get corrected on the journey HOME
@Nagolbud Thats cute i wish activison would pay me. you see classic success means more then just success for activison its success for mmorpg's think about it companies are gonna watch this launch and if it fails all we are gonna see is br games. if you even enjoy the mmorpg genre you too should be hoping and praying that they make the right choices. you complain about the extended phase count so would you have preferred the previously set 4 phases that made no sense i dont see what you are advocating for. if you just want classic to fail because you are a shell of a human and cant find enjoyment in anything then thats fine but if you are gonna call out another person then give some explanation on why you think you are correct in your ways
@Nagolbud they will care if this still makes money. money talks i mean thats why you think everyone who wants something to do well is a shill right? money is the end all be all in game development. passion no longer is a factor in the creation of games so the only way to keep mmos alive is to show that there is still money in them. you're arguments are shallow lack of thought goes into them. before you call me out take a second and think about the out come. call me whatever you want but end of the day money is all that matters and if you want to play mmo's going forward then you should hope this game works out. if not i mean why are you even watching videos about mmos lol. so before your next reply i think you should really articulate what you are gonna say and not spew out some nonsense with insert random call out here.
In this day in age, I just worry that I'll get in trouble for roleplaying as a racist.
It says right in the Troll intro that they have a "seething hatred for all other races". I'm just playing the game as intended.
I don't mind a good comedian who roleplay as a racist for the sake of character immersion, if it's indeed roleplay and not false irony
@@scarletcrusade8729 Well there's a reason Darkspear Trolls are called 'Trolls'.
Lets get rid of sharding and loot sharing and we're in business.
I can see how sharding can be useful for server stability and also during the leveling process-you won't have to "fight" with others for quest objectives. With that said sharding will take away what made Vanilla great in the 1st place-the sense of community, having to group up with randoms to get things done, giving you an incentive to be a great player and person since you WILL see everyone around at one point or another. I loved being surrounded by loads of people, it made the world feel alive!
Loot trading is something I'm not a fan of. Its a mechanic that easy to exploit. If you join a random group of people and they happen to be friends they can easily screw you out of loot-you will be all of a sudden rolling against 4 other people rather than just the ones who actually want the item.
Remember with out having cross realm dungeons and raids you will quickly make a name for yourself. If these friends need on an item and give it to friends people will quickly know about them and they will not be brought on most dungeons and or raids like it was in OG wow =). So be patient and they will get what is coming to them quickly.
Out of the Classicast trio, I feel like you covered this topic the best. This video helps someone that didn't play vanilla be aware of what the itemization meant for the game. I love all the effort you put in your videos, it's much appreciated!!!
What is the general perception on right click reporting? I want this in to report what I think might be a bot, but that's it.
Appericiate your content tips. Been here since almost day one. Thank you and the other content creators for your work!! Summer 2019 here we come!!!
Played vanilla when I was 17-18 years old. Today I'm 31, just got my first child in January. But one thing is sure, I'm in on classic! Just "one last time."
People were joking how you will make a 10 min video out of a single article, but you really showed them....by making an almost 30 min video.....
You could just not watch the video.
TheSaiyanKing MORE CONTENT!!!!
Long man bad!
@@tainted_HC I don't think he is.
It’s kind of funny. if I made this a 5 minute video, people would have said “OMG HES JUST READING OFF A BLUE POST SUCH LOW EFFORT CONTENT.” If it were a 10 minute video, people would say “OMG GREEDY CONTENT CREATOR MAKES 10 MINUTE FOR AD REVENUE!” Instead, I made a 30 minute video packed with real information pertaining to the update, and now you think it’s too much?
Sorry man, I can’t keep up with that crap. I just make the best videos I can and move on. Never once have I looked at the length of the video - the content to me is infinitely more important than the length.
Great news. One thing: Tier 0.5 could easily be introduced much earlier, otherwise it goes to waste and nobody bothers getting it.
It's also something players who don't raid can earn.
I'm super stoked for all the news. Feels like Classic is actually coming along.
I do think its dangerous to pull out your pitchforks regarding sharding though. They've already stated it will only be used in the starting zones at the beginning to handle the massive initial influx of players, it isn't a long term solution. I don't think Blizzard is going to come up with another solution for this issue, and it's far better than the alternative situation where you either have insanely long server queues, or server pops that die after 2-3 weeks when the initial sightseers are gone. The longterm health of the game is far more important than getting rid of a feature that you will only encounter during the first 1-4 hours of your Classic experience. If they implement it past that, sure, grab your torches and go ham, but sit down and think about what you really want out of Classic *long term* and decide if it's really worth being unable to find groups at 60 because you didn't want any sharding while you were leveling from 1-12. Seems like a no brainer.
I am happy that Blizzard has taken the time to stay in touch with it's players and fan base. I like the changes they announced.
I happy for the later changes but indifferent to the early ones. Only the most hardcore of hardcore players were raiding Onyxia and MC 2-3 months after launch, average players took 2 months + just to get to 60 let alone get attuned and geared. The vast majority of players that did play classic would have gone MC and Onyxia after DM was released. That being said if they time the release of phase two well it should be fine. Once again only the most hardcore players are going to rush to 60 to raid so the early changes only effect them which is how it should be.
Totally agree with this. 80% of players never saw the end game stuff. Taking time to get their will allow players to work their way there. It's not like the next expansion will be taking this out, so I say, enjoy the ride!
Getting level 60 will not take 2 months, even for average players. There are dozens of guides and addons, plus even your average player is far more familiar with the leveling system than they were when they first started Wow. These changes will indeed effect many average players.. ALSO, the fact that Dire Maul will not exist on launch is major for another reason, gold farming. Hard core players were planning to exploit Dire Maul to farm 100g per hour. This would crash the economy before the majority of players even reach max level.
@@russianbot2179 this brings up the overall problem with Classic as a whole. How it was then and how it will be today. Back in REAL classic you couldn't look up a crap ton of level guides like you can now. Addons were extremely limited to what they can do now a days. Players themselves know more about the game then ever before. Classic wow will NEVER truly be able to recreate classic or the feeling of classic because too many things have change, the players most of all.
@@bryia3366 partially true. but the main thing I am looking forward to in Classic is the epic scope of things. There was no free 'epic' gear in classic. You had to do 40 man raids and be in good favor with your guild to get your hands on epic gear. In retail wow, you literally get a free piece of epic gear just for logging in every Tuesday, and the gear is better than gear you can get in raids often times. also in retail wow, your progress was constantly reset every new patch, making most of the stuff you did last patch worthless, such as AP grinding. retail wow just feels like an arcade game, while hopefully Classic wow will feel like a real MMO, even if we know everything about it already.
This is something I keep seeing too. Just look up any guide, they all talk about how to level the most efficiently, bis items, what is best for raiding... what about the journey? Hell, I'm just gonna group up with a bunch of friends when we hit lvl 25+ and just stir some sh*t in tarren mill & southshore until bgs are implimented. Even then... well, I think my warrior (who I played during bc) is still hated by ratchet. Ah, good times.
What if ... they are killing BFA to make classic hit the repeat cycle. So they can start again ... hmmm
Looks like they really want classic to triumph and become the legend it is
What if ... they realized fixing BFA and expansions prior to that is a war they can't win. It's an opportunity to stick closer to Classics design philosophy (mmo"RPG") and release completely new content/expansions. Maybe pick and choose the best features of all expansions and make WoW 2.0.
I wouldn't mind that at all. A new experience is always welcome. Sure it's the easy route to "copy/paste" TBC, WotLK, and so on, but let's be honest: Who really wants to go through all expansions.
Or you know, just keep Classic repeating itself over and over again till it dies out and work on a new intellectual property. Just keep in mind, if Classic is a huge success to generate the majority of subscribers rather than playing BFA, they'll start thinking where they can profit from it. Microtransactions *wink wink*
Liroy Schmidt I would fucking love to lead up to wrath , but instead of Heirlooms and shitty mechanics brought in at the end they keep it pure to the old RPG style. I think people now forget where mmorpgs come from ... rolling the dice , random stats many choices of paths to take your character. Impactful item creations. Huge loreful worlds. Uniqueness in characters even if you try to make them play exactly the same .
Blizzard knew its original and limited design . That design is now still unbeaten. I guess there hasn’t been a matching game for casuals or hardcore, committed players. Name 1 game where to this day people still sink time and effort into to make and invent new strategies into private servers of their old original game.
Wow 2 classic systems (maybe not pvp ,tbc ftw). But talents , levelling dungeons , raids , community set up and reliability. The earning of gold gear and other consumables, crafting items. The list goes on for the amount of things classic did right. What 15 year later for a repeat to my life’s lovable game . Yes please. Even my partner thinks classic is the better game . She started in legion.
Gg blizz gg indeed
I have been saying that since Blizzcon 2017. And people called me a tin-foil nut. Seems like more are waking up. Quite late, but hey, most people are unable to see more than 5 minutes in the future.
iulian anitulesei history does repeat itself in some way shape or form
I understand exactlywhat you're saying and I am so down for that, but legion would have been the perfect opportunity to end modern wow. Literally everything was wrapped up. The Legion was defeated for good. Sargeras is getting pimpslapped by illidan for all eternity.
Hey Tips!
This is good news indeed!
However I dont know why tier 0,5 is not in ZG patch.
Even the devs thought it came out so late that nobody ever bothered to complete.
It was an expensive and tedious chain quest that didnt make any difference at that point in game.
I completed it on my druid back then just for fun and because I have an OCD personality so an uncompleted quest in my log really annoyed me.
I was inspected and laughed at when I equipped for the first time.
Feralheart was nice and had all around stats for a druid that wanted to grind or farm but with the opening of AQ it was a waste of time and gold. It was not a random blue preraid bis or anything. You needed to have all wildheart pieces and using mats, gold and a lot of grind, summoned 5 man bosses and elite encounters to get a tiny upgrade. It took some time and effort for nothing.
Any thoughts?
I like that they helicoptered up the communication and put some color on the phases.
Saw this some hours ago, i read it all, saw all other yotubers talk about it, and i was like, where's my Tips out bby update? :( now im here, ready to gear it from you, eventhough i know what it's about ! :D
The new pvp gear should be added during or before BWL. There is literally no point in pvping past 11, especially to rank 14 to get the new weapons/gear post BWL, when better gear/weps drop in AQ/Naxx and are MUCH easier to obtain and better than the rank 14 gear.
If we want the real vanilla experience we need a month of pvp honor system before battle grounds are added. I remember being level 47 and logging in in Gadgetzan the day the honor system was implemented. It was brutal but also awesome. I want black rock mountain to be a war zone.
Got a video idea for you I'm quite interested in seeing! Would be awesome if you made a video, in similar fashion with the video on optimal raid group, for the best 5man group setup, both for leveling and grinding say BRD and DM. Addressing cc, damage, synergy between classes and optimal tank/healer for example! Another idea could be discussing for example classes with great synergy in world-pvp!
The 1.10 loot revamp is also came with them changing the sizes of UBRS/Scholo, do we know if they're releasing with the smaller dungeon size?
They will
Hey Tips, So what do you think the game will be like in 2-3years after all the content is released and everything is on farm? Do you think they will start balancing classes or release an xpac for classic? What do you think the population and game will be like after everyone gets their fix? I understand people say they will just release a new server for people to restart from the beginning, but I don't think people will want to level up the same character 1-60 100 times. Thoughts/Comments? I would love to hear your ideas on what they might do in the future, I do understand people are talking about how they might move into TBC, but that would split the community into 3 groups, live, classic, progression.
I've been thinking about that myself and I could see them adding a server for TBC (Possibly with a free server transfer as an option). For better or for worse with the communities, It wouldn't be a bad decision seeing people have there preferred version of WoW. However, I could only see them going up to Wrath. I don't think we'll see any additional content added into the classic itself though.
I still think the most important result of classic, in the long-run, is that both Blizzard and other developers will have a chance to see how real MMORPGs are supposed to work, and what made them work well 14 years ago.
Because I'm real tired at this point of playing MMOs where the focus is on soloable, heavily scripted quest content and NPC interaction so that "massively multiplayer" just means "singleplayer game, but people randomly bounce past you killing your mobs". And I'm tired of MMOs where there's just an endlessly resetting grind in which every expansion introduces new currencies and resources specifically designed to negate your previous character progress.
My dream scenario would be an eventual WoW remaster, in which they took classic, applied all the modern graphical updates, actually got around to updating all the old textures and models, and then steadily re-released all the expansion content... but rebuilt it from the ground up to adhere to the original game's design principles and smooth progression curve. Make it one big game, instead of "the latest expansion content, with all the older stuff serving as a redundant tutorial".
Is this Blizzard listening or realizing there's more money to be made with more phases keeping people playing and sub'd for longer?
Also I feel leaving BGs out for an entire raid tier will be bad for the game.
"They are listening."
This always kills me, because people are always asking for different things. I don't want a staggered/progression release schedule, so this doesn't seem at all like "listening" to me.
To each their own, though.
I agree. I think 0.5 should be there at launch as for guilds that don't raids its a fun target.
am looking foward to this. I joined just before the aq events were starting. will likely play a caster, just unsure which. my first toon was a warlock so maybe that but at the same time i wanna try something new.
itemization aside, I am glad to see more phases if only because it will space out progression and allow me to take time to savor and enjoy each level of content without the feeling that I'm in a ladder. race. I don't know if the timetable for phase progression has been discussed, but I hope, since there isn't a classic tbc currently in discussion, that it is as slow if not a slower phase progression than live vanilla.
Absolutely fantastic news, thanks so much for all your efforts you put into this to make stuff like this happening.
"participants in world boss events" means something much different on pvp servers than it did on pve.
When word (pre discord) went out that a guild was going to try, the other faction's pvp types would go disrupt.
One great thing about vanilla was the lack of resilience. So, at least people trying to do a world boss (or even just get into a raid or dungeon instance) weren't doubly hurt by being in pve gear.
I hope they make the target dummies that are found in varies towns and most cities usable, thatway varies weapons and speccs could be tested out.
God I wish I could join you all in this adventure when summer rolls around. I just don't have the time because of work.
Just play when you get some off time. That's what I'm doing. I wont be the first person to 60 but I won't be the last!
Also the books from Dire Maul , not really been mentioned alot , but would have been insane if those were out from launch.. so happy to see these changes. Cant wait!
Stage 7: The Burning Crusade.
Without flying mounts I'm all for it
I cant wait
Absolutely love the first few seconds of the video, that’s a very passionate man indeed
When I start to doubt I go back to the 2018 BlizzCon videos where Ian, Omar and Brian talk about how important it is to be faithful to the original code.
did they say if they were locking instances to 5players or will we be able to go in with more??
This is my first time seeing this video but ive seen this video three other times today
I am looking soo much forward to classic. At the same time i am worried about the PvP. Old AV was truly Epic. But it also slowly died as it was made easier and it recived its killing blow when the PvP AV Tokens arrived along with the reinforcements update since then players would then start to just rush the last boss and ignore all form of pvp.
Love your enthousiasm 😃
Gotta get this off my chest. When Classic was announced I jumped online and talked about proper progression and gear itemisation and spells and talents and how everything evolved during the lifetime of Classic and therefore having this pure "1.12" situation where everything was as it was at 1.12 from day one was really bad. And I got rounded on mercilessly by people who said that a progressive Classic was bad/dumb/unrealistci/etc and that pure 1.12 was the go. Man today reading the post from Blizzard today I can see that while things won't be exactly right (looking at you evolving spells and talents!) the rest of the Classic "progression" is pretty much what we need. I feel massively vindicated. Happy, happy day!
I can't wait!!!!
You have to read between the lines there. They will pace out the classic content to fill in gaps during droughts in the latest xpacs.
It means you may not even get ZG until they are well into whatever xpac comes after BfA
They will have to add PVP before or at the release of World Bosses to let factions Duke it out for the world boss kill.
Im not for loot sharing at all, having raided end game since vanilla I'm way too familiar with the option to abuse this system. It had such a hard impact on loot systems like dkp and wish list, offered us a new way to ninja loot and/or enforced rwt.
People might look beyond this and not realize how much of an impact this is, selling raid boost + loot was pretty much unheard of with the old system, I'm not gonna say that it never happened but loot sharing made real world trading explode.
That's my biggest concern.
Next point is sharding, oh boy.... Sharding during release is for sure going to kill the fun, remember the level 1 wars on fresh server releases? Well, I do and I'm sure a lot of people want to rush and takeover Barrens with alliance characters cuz that's fucking amazing and I think it would be really problematic is you could actually go into an enemy territory and just phase out and face 2-3 enemies with your 40 party and start questing there, makes no sence since that zone should have a ton of enemies (keep in mind that sharding will never phase out party/raid members, making it possible to run into a zone with 40 man and then split into parties of 5 and just insta phase by rejoining the raid group IF you phase into too many of the opposite faction.)
If you're and orc rogue you're supposed to have a hard time to get that red defias face mask, and getting to WC as alliance should be a living hell.
^ all this is just first day action, 2-3 day when the STV starts getting crowded, sharding would kill the experience.
Right click report? I don't mind it at all.
@Tips Out, thank you for this deep dive in to why this news is the Best news we could have gotten. This gives me great hope that Blizzard is also greatly looking at other concerns such as Sharding, Right-Click Reporting, and that one PvP BG concern that is completely escaping me right now.
The big one we need 2 make sure doesn't make launch is the feature to trade dungeon items with each other in a small time window... It causes friends rolling on gear they can't use 2 bully you out of gear and trade it 2 there friend who needs it
I can really feel your relief on this one :)
good coverage thx
Tips you keep the hype real! Summer cant come fast enough!
i feel we deserve a full fledged pvp progression including world pvp early on
Such a big victory royale for us real epic gamers!!!!
I'm having faith in Blizzard again and I can't believe it (Well, at least in the team working on Classic). They listening the feedback of the community and talking with it a lot was something I dreamed off since Classic was announced, and seeing it happening it makes me so happy.
Every day i'm more pumped up for Classic... Don't screw it up please Blizzard, you're doing it great! Just keep up the good work and talking with the community and you will see how much you will gain... please~
#ClassicSummerHype
Tips I played closed beta and I remember that I was in Mara in beta. So it was up before release
Do we have a day yet, or at least a month ? :'( for release
do you think they will let us pull Kazzak to Stormwind or the green Dragon from Azshara to OG? or will they enter Leashing which means that Mobs run back after 100 Meters? or bringing the Scurge from ZG into main cities via hunter pet??
Not trying to be contrary, but I am pro sharding on early release and want to have my feedback noted!
As a developer myself the most important thing this tells me is: We were on or ahead of schedule and have time to take on additional work to split the contents up
The best thing about this blue post is seeing the community reaction, I don't remember last time I saw players hyped about a Blizzard announcement.
I hope they bring back the pristine hide drop along with Finkles dagger. I love that quest line and was my first epic chest piece on my rogue.
So maybe we can use "Green Whelp Armor" in WSG again before the item revamp?
This is going to be fun >.>
why is mauradon mentioned? is it not a level 30 dungeon?
Late to the party bud but as someone who was too busy to play when the game came out originally it's kind of cool they're tiering the release to match the original
Blizzard has to make this wow classic something like alternative or parallel universe later on after Naxxramas patch, something like a telling story from a different point of view just to make it feel like a new experience.
Thanks for listening blizz!
I can essentially guarantee there will be sharding because they said they would rather have a smooth launch than a messy one, and they were pretty adamant about it being there. The phases were stated time and time again they can and will change, sharding 100% not. Its going to be something that people will have to live with or just not play I feel.
Classic will not be the same game as vanilla with fully implemented sharding. A smooth launch (sharding in starting zones for a few days or weeks) is the ONLY case where it can cherish a healthy, successful classic experience and community.
Tch. You guys. it doesn't matter if Dire Maul is phase 1 or 2. By the time there is enough people at 60, it will be months down the line anyway. The majority of WoW population that raided, raided MC AFTER Dire Maul was out, because almost no one was 60. If their phases are more spread out than vanilla wow's patches, then it will actually slow progression compared to vanilla.
Please focus on fighting the implementation of Loot-trading. Way more important than the patch schedule
Progressive itemization! This is so huge!
I am just starting to really investigate classic. I’m very interested to know if classic is going to involve other expansions besides vanilla, and if so, would we be able to go from say a vanilla server to a BC server to experience how WoW evolved over the years?
Yes, a BC release would make sense depending on the success of classic. Many feel this way.
Wauw! I really feel that this summer is going to be a hit!
They should hire hurricane to make cinematics for classic content releases.
Blizzard is listening! We need to keep at it and convince them about dumb shit like loot trading also!
I was kind of excited to get geared to the teeth without ever stepping into MC. Dang.
only hardcore guilds did things like DM buffs for raiding iirc
All I know is when I played vanilla from 2004 to 2006, I never entered DM once and I never heard of ANYONE going for buffs. The guild I was in never had stacks of buffs (only player buffs) and we completed Onyxia, MC, BWL, AQ20, and the first few bosses of AQ40. From my experience alone, these buff runs are something that came along with private servers.
@@Khaltazar My guild used Onyxia and Hakkar buffs sometimes, but no other world buff.
showing some love
I am confused now: Blizzard said the Classic would use 1.12 patch, but then announces that there will be 6 patches.
So when do the mechanics of 1.12 quick in ?
This is ABSOLUTELY INSANE !
Actually this progression only blizzlike for max 10% of the vanilla players. In EU WOW launched next year with an already progressed patch, and only after this the players started to buy WoW and as a result blizzard opened more and more new realm, and when the majority of the realms were opened after the initial WoW launch the servers already had darkmoon, dragons, DireMaul and some later servers even had BWL. Anyone can check the WoW population and the timeline. I rerolled on any new server because I loved leveling on a fresh, did it on at least 7 new server (they usually came every 2-3 or later 4 month) and for m and many other this was not the server patch progress... but I'm fine experiencing the USA launch timeline so no problem! :)
just saw esfand talk about this. And I still can't believe it is real. Sooo stoked that they not only made this change but also confirmed progressive itemization. Well done everyone
Keep up the fight. NO CHANGES!!! FOR THE HORDE!!!!!
I bet it comes out the first week of August.... because that's when I'm going on my honeymoon for two weeks.
Hahahaha
bring your laptop
Picking women over gaming is your first mistake.
congrats on the sex
@@MidwestBoom I mean, may as well get the divorce now rather than in 2 years right?
Anyone know when the beta is?
What about warlock mounts?? If DM is pushed.
Tips never forget every single thing was a big event. Even server crashes were a big event. It could set the progression of a whole sever back 24 hours.
Do you think the best guilds were the best because they had the most in interrupted experience?
Hey Tips, gearscore in WLK kind of screwed up the community imo, blizz responded by avg ilvl which nowadays is just how people judge other players at a glance. Do you think something like gearscore could show up in classic? Do you think blizz would stop this kind of addon if it was widely used?
Keep up the great videos, and hooray for this news!
Does this mean hoj doesn’t drop from emp at launch?
Dude the Hype is getting real now. were getting close dude. Not only does this show me that they made an update to become closer to vanilla but more importantly what this post showed me is that THEY ARE LISTENING and that THEY DO CARE. I have no words for how excited I am.
What about AQ War Effort? Top Guilds will collect a lot of Ore, Herbs, Clothes ect. How should Blizzard manage this? Take the old Number of needed stuff or adjust the Number of needed Ore ect.?
I am not sure, but I think, a Privat Server pushed up the Need of Ressources. So, the Event is not finished in a very short time.
so a stage is how long??? 3 months or 6?
I would like to bring attention to the no moonwalk ordeal on the demo. I will miss the moonwalk dearly blizz pls
I personally would like them to change the story a bit if a new expansion did come out rather TBC, but rather put new zone in the contours that are. had been pretty cool if it had come to Mount Hyjal as an extra package
Sharding should only be considered at launch and even then it depends on the size of the servers. It will only really help the casual players cause most of the hardcore players will be ahead of the zerg.
If implemented at other times it would ruin a lot of the vanilla experience.
Unpopular opinion here, but I'm all for sharding early on to avoid congestion issues. Assuming the servers can handle non-sharding at launch, I don't see the fun in spending 90 seconds or so running around trying to find a mob that isn't already dead and its spawn being camped. Leveling a fresh character on a private server weeks after it's launched is way more fun and enjoyable, then trying to level one during its launch. There are actually mobs to kills and it's possible to do quests. Having experienced launches on several private servers, I can say, I'm all for early on sharding. Just my opinion though.
Does this mean no Wolfshead Helm for druids?
