ITT: Most Comfy Towns in WoW
I actually really likeHalfhill Market
I hope Garrisons are comfy
The one and only.
>>265315052
I love it here for some reason.
>>265314757
>>265315167
The Horde really got shafted on comfy in Vanilla. The Tauren settlements were the best though. Camp Mojache and Freewind Post were comfy as fuck
don't have a pic but it's definatly the wildhammer dwarf base in the hinterlands, that place is cozy as anything else
Bump, lets keep it going boys
they fucking ruined the loch in cataclysm. everyone thought that an old world update would be the shit but they never mentioned that 90% of everything was going to be wrecked or in a state of constant disrepair and the plot would be stuck in a state of irrelevance due to everything being to a story driven expansion plot as opposed to a generic "explore the world and have adventures" plot of the vanilla old world
>>265317123
>vanilla old world
I miss it so.
>>265317281
Me too...
>>265315536
the troll village in Desolace
>>265315167
i remember going there with a friend to gank people.
>mfw they bring out their mains.
why did arthas give that up to become supreme wizzard?
step aside, alliance niggas.
>>265317875
I kinda liked Gadgetzan for some reason. Might have been because it was comfy, might have been because I put down those explosive bunnies and made the enemy faction hit them
>>265317735
Arthas fucked her, it's canon
>>265315167
This and Darkshire were the comfiest in vanilla imo. Even Goldshire was pretty comfy.
Alliance had the best content in vanilla for sure.
>>265317875
Comfiest capital by far.
>>265318103
>capital
that's Crossroads
>>265318050
>Goldshire
Would agree in general if not for constant lowbie duels.
>>265318050
Have you seen Darkshire and Elwynn in the 6.0.2 PTR? Darkshire is dark again and there's hugely noticeable difference between daytime Elwynn and nighttime Elwynn.
I loved the atmosphere of Tirisfal Glades pre-Cata (I think they changed it up when Cata was released). It felt like some real evil, spooky shit. And the ambiance had this feeling of hopelessness and you embraced it since you were Undead.
And Brill was the best. Like a safe haven and shit.
>noob Warlock
>on my skeletal horse
>starts raining
>walking slowly through Brill
Dat atmosphere.
>comfy music
>rolling grassy plains outside
>gentle sound of mills turning
>feels so safe up high
>all these shaman, druids and hunters being chill as fuck
>all the spooky warlocks and shit are told to fuck off into a cave and stay there
Why did everything in WoW turn into overdesigned garbage? Everything from the cities to the armor sets. I miss the more simplistic times where towns and cities had more soul and heart, and everyone didn't look like power rangers.
Brill, Sepulcher and Undercity.
>>265318618
Right about the time they finished coding the T2 Warrior set. Spikes coming out of everything.
>>265318383
And the fact that the Inn is always an orgy.
>>265318595
>Be undead
>Go here for the comfy
>Feel so out of place
>Fuck it
Stonetalon Peaks or Stranglethorn Vale (Moreso when they introduced shaft lights graphix)
Holy shit I was literally on an edge off a cliff in Stonetalon just gazing away with the sun infront/above me
Pretty damn comfy
If I had to live in any WoW capital it would probably be Darnassus. Comfiest to me, as much as I hate outdoors it might be the only place I would like to lay down on the grass and fall asleep with the massive trees above me.
I also really like how Mulgore looks but I imagine in real life would be very sunny.
Weirdly, but it was my first. Getting there made me realise just how big WoW was. And it WAS pretty comfy.
>>265318984
Just go to the spooky cave where you belong
I found this to pretty comfy. At first I hated but warmed up to it. Most unique WoW zone imo.
>>265318464
No, have you got some screenshots?
But my major issue with Darkshire is how they changed streamlined some of the quests. Many of them didn't need to be changed at all.
For example, remember the Legend of Stalvan quest? Perhaps one of the best quests from vanilla was replaced in Cataclysm, and now the person in his hut is Stalvan's brother or cousin or something. And they changed Stitches to phased, so mutliple people can't encounter them on the road randomly. Utterly pointless change which takes the fun out of the game.
>>265319258
>Elder Rise cave is now the defacto Forsaken Embassy in Thunder Bluff
Kinda like it
I like the little area near the outside of Silvermoon with the students listening to the teacher. The one with that really nice pond.
I love comfy jungles.
And I loooove the super chill jungle music they added in cata
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmAp5xEdH98
Will WoW ever become free to play?
>>265319476
Silvermoon City was comfy. Was always vacant though for some reason.
>>265319374
Sorry, I havent taken any yet. I'll see what I can do in the next 10 minutes.
>>265319647
I hope it never does, because that will be the day I might actually return to the game. But it's a cancer and I know it.
>>265319647
Lose a couple million more subs, shareholders will demand it. Not anytime soon.
>>265319692
Because it's really out of the way
>>265315564
Aye Earth Mother be good to us Tauren.
Ah, Goldshire... Beautiful Goldshire...
>>265319476
Found a screenshot of it
>>265319692
Because it was a separately instanced area, far away from other high level zones and you're not allowed to fly while in there.
This is something I always expected them to fix. Remove the instancing of Exodar and Silvermoon City so that you can fly there from the main continents.
>>265319949
Oh yeah, comfyness confirmed,
The Undercity is pretty comfy. Particularly during Hallow's End.
>>265319647
You could play PTR right now. Even with new models.
>>265319942
Fuck this cancer cesspool.
Hmm, never seen this screen on PTR before
>You will never see comfy as fuck old Orgrimmar
at night again
Grizzly Hills is comfy incarnate
>>265320718
I miss that 3.3.5 to 4.0.1a stage where all the old Org buildings had sneaky murderguards on the roofs.
>>265320718
It's not at night but it's the best I can give you.
>you will never train unarmed combat ever again
Booty bay, especially at sunset
fucking love it. I used to hang around the tavern for hours and check if the alliance put anything good on the AH
>>265321049
No, no I wont. But I will always have the FoS for it.
>>265319994
It would take a lot of work.
>>265317123
>everyone thought that an old world update would be the shit
Only faggot blizzard fans thought this. "wahh I've already leveled through the old world 7 times change everything and make it shit so I have something new to do"
>>265321049
>Spend hours leveling that atrocious lockpicking skill
>Max it out 1 week before Blizz hands it to ya like candy
>>265321169
They did all of vanilla didn't they? Why not a couple more zones?
>>265317875
nice brown and red, faggot
Most un-aesthetic shit in the fucking world. Idk how you horde fags deal
>>265317123
It was really stupid.
Everything got a shit smear coating on it
Thousand needles and barrens hurt me so.
Anyone else remember those hacking gold-buying site advertisers that would spell out the url with characters?

Redridge was 20-30 or something.

Happened to me with the original Wintersaber grind.
And the Timbermaw Hold.
Really, I felt like an idiot.
>early mornings in Loch Modan before all your friends came online
>>265314757
Anyone remember the good ol' times in Moonguard Goldshire before they started cracking down on that? I had so many laughs there.
>>265322105
I logged on just to take that picture.

Silvermoon and Exodar are literally on the map for outland. You can see them from hellfire peninsular if you mod the max drawdistance.
They didn't want to touch up a complete different map.
>>265321351
No idea why people say "HURR LE HORDE MUD HUTS XD". I fucking love it, so damn comfy.
>>265322415
Came here to do the same. Just hanging out now. The MRPs here can be pretty amusing.
>>265322752
Thanks!
>all your old screenshots are forever gone
>>265322629
An official vanilla server with community might be a little better though. Shit would be money for Blizz, they should try it.
I was disappointed there wasn't much for the Alliance out here, Nijel's Point was great.

I love Maura and have gonna there just to chill plenty of times but trying to teach the pathing of the old version to new players was one of the biggest pains in the ass in all of WoW.

>>Fel Reaver cleaving through everything
every time
why doesn't /v/ make a private server for wow. preferably tbc, but vanilla for the atmosphere itself was nice as well.
>>265324592
I felt bad the first time I one-shotted the Fel Reaver and then again in Cata when I one-shotted the Storm Giant from Howling Fjord.
>>265324802
Wait for corecraft
>>265324592
It didn't help the draw distance was about 2 feet. There were times that DD coupled with my internet back then would cause the Fel Reaver to appear inches away from me, sometimes auto-aggroing, sometimes just scaring the shit out of me.

As someone who hasn't subbed since mid-Cata, is this still worth a sub? Getting nostalgia all the sudden.
Man what a great thread. I started off as Horde and played predominantly Horde since I started. But I have to say that I love the Alliance zones. Some of them are the comfiest places ever. Especially Thelsamar, and IF.
Thunderbluff is also comfy as fuck.
>>265315564
Orgrimmar at night was amazing. Back when it was actually dark at night when I was a newbie orc.
>>265325829

Literally just default fantasy castles and towers. Alliance have the absolute least interesting everything in the entire genre.
>>265318590
It really did, Brill felt like a dead lakeshire, so gloom. I do like the new route the Forsaken areas have taken, best areas imo, all that war, but it doesn't compare to the old ones, playing at 4am, completely alone, darkness all around, a gloomy but comfy area, with a certain sense of doom and fate

>>265318590
This.
I fucking love that area up north with the broken windmills. Tirisfal Galdes really was on the most atmospheric areas.
Anyone else feel that Desolace was strangely comfortable? I remember just running around everywhere with ghost wolf in my shaman and just taking it all in. The kodo graveyard, the naga area, the demon cave, the centaurs, Rexxar punting any alliance near him 30 yards away, the troll town on the sea. Just had that extra bit of magic.
I actually remember grinding the naga and demon areas because I really liked it.
Oh, and the first time stepping into Ashenvale and hearing that music was magical. Didn't really like the pathways, but I'd just sit at the entrance listening to that.
Where does your allegiance lie, /v/?
>>265327482

>>265327482

This was a fun day
why did they have to make wow shit

>>265327482

This is why I don't understand playing WoW. If you accomplish anything it will be given to everyone immediately.
>>265328383
>Haha sick transmog bro
Are you at least trying?
>>265327842
Thats pretty nice UI
>>265321105
Shit was cash on my PvE character. Comfy as fuck and always bustling especially on Sundays.
On my PvP character there was always some tryhard trying to start shit and getting rekt by the guards. Not so comfy.
>>265328692
Which is the biggest drawback of WoW IMHO. They went from a MMORPG where griding and getting to max level, and finding really good items actually meant something. Grinding a mount or faction rep actually was hard and meant something.
Now it's basically auto-leveling and coasting through the game as fast as possible. This completely kills the atmosphere of a world. It's more like a single player game now until the last few levels. And then it's still just meh, who cares.
ITT marketing.

Then they'll make it obsolete and move on to the next expansion.

Why did Blizzard want to make Humans the most overpowered race in PvP?

a reall girl
>>265330957
Won't be for long as that is getting removed from the game.
>>265330813
This is so not true. I don't know what servers you played on but whatever server i played horde was younger on average.
>>265330991

Even the Blood elf settlements aren't comfy. Alliance get comfy taverns with a warm fire and that tavern music. We get an empty, stone room with a brazier in the middle while some stupid drums play.
>>265331816
Having all levels 90s is easy if you've played for a while.
I started in TBC but quit in cataclysm it started like this for me.
TBC: 2x level 70s
WOTLK: 6x level 80s
Cata: Every class 90
leveling is also piss easy after the xp boost items were added and group quests can be solod
>>265331920
Most of the fun spells are gone now. I guess you could play a mage for Blink.
>>265331991

>>265331182
I FUCKING hate that. SO MUCH. Jesus Christ who the fuck cares if someone in a fucking GAME calls you by the wrong gender? What the fuck?

I'm glad when people in MMO don't know that I'm a grill. Literally nobody assumes that you're not a dude when you play a male character.

I bet you have names like "Déâthshadòwxd" and not even 3 lvl 90 characters.
>>265332124

Undercity for best race capital.

If you unlocked the right to have all the Pandaren Phoenixes when 6.0 comes, do you have to pay gold for the other 3, or are they free?

That's cool, but it's also an MMO where you can expect many people to be socially outgoing with the desire to interact, since that's the 'big feature' of the genre. Just sayin.

Interactions are completely fine, I like it. But I don't want to use a game as a personal chatting lobby, like many others do.
Like all those housewive "gamers" who just come online to spam the guild chat with irrelevant shit. Jesus, go meet your friends and drink a coffee if you want to tell someone how your day was, I don't give a shit.

Player mentality. Sites like WoWhead/Thottbot being able to catalog the entire game and remove any sense of wonder. The desire to play it solely for its mechanics instead of exploration, discovery, and wonder.
We're guilty of it ourselves -- in our drive to improve, to become better, to be more knowledgeable, we distilled the game down to numbers: All classes must be within 3% of each others' DPS in raids. All classes must fit squarely within the healer/tank/DPS meta. We no longer need a large world full of difficult enemies because they simply slow down the ascent to max level and end game raid content. Dungeons no longer need to be labyrinthine and full of generic mobs because we're only here for shiny blue items at the end of it. We're not here for fun, but rather the desire to excel among our peers. We spend hours, days, weeks, months, and even years reaching for the top, only to be let down that there will always be someone better than us, someone who got there quicker, someone who has more.
Sure, the details that made WoW great aren't there anymore, but they were removed because of the above in the first place.

I hated it the update so much.
Like you said, everything is basically revolving around one single story (the Cataclysm) rather than a world with several different storylines and specific zone stories that existed in vanilla.
Zones are now full to the brim with pop culture references and memes. I'm not even a lorefag and I know WoW's story isn't great, and the writing certainly isn't, but there are aspects and certain quests that were enjoyable, but now the game is terrified to ever take itself seriously at all, especially in cataclysm. Entire storylines are given over to Indiana Jones or Rambo parodies. Westfall's storyline, which to me was iconic in vanilla and so great because it had a main questline that could follow you from early 10s to mid 20s with the Stocks quests, is now a CSI parody.
Plus, now that leveling is so fast, there is no reason to do anything other than grind out more levels, there is no slow pacing where you might actually care about what you are doing at this specific level or at this specific 5-10 level range, rather your best bet is just to zip from one quest to the next, completing each zone story and going to another. They made leveling faster but in turn managed to make it feel like more of a grind.
What a goddamn disaster.

I genuinely enjoyed holy paladin in early vanilla, purely because we DIDN'T fit into the DPS/Tank/Healer trifecta. We were a pure support class. We were brought to raids because we could provide buffs, not to actually heal.

I started playing WoW at launch, from what I observed, Alliance had a lot of older people, I mean people in their late 30s and early 40s who had kids of their own, so Alliance had a ton of kids and old farts. Horde however had a lot of late teens to early 20s aged players.

I miss that a lot too, but a slightly different story.
>In vanilla, most public groups were pretty bad.
>Tanks (Warriors) would often have trouble holding larger groups of enemies, partially due to a limited toolset and partially due to DPS that couldn't focus on a target or slow down on burst.
>Healers would blow through mana very fast trying to keep people up when taking cleave damage or other sources that could be avoided, also because of inefficient use of spells (Casting Flash Heal several times, etc).
>DPS would often not be able to CC properly, resulting in loose mobs no one was sure if we should tank/attack or leave be so they can reapply sheep.
>Cue the paladin, a support class who can handle a lot of different situations.
>Tough enough to off-tank any mob should the situation require it, allowing the warrior more breathing room for his health pool and aggro abilities.
>Powerful enough heals to drop nearly full-healing holy lights on people in any spec, though with a more limited mana pool than another true healer.
>Can put out a respectable amount of DPS with proper gear and outpreform pure DPS classes in Undead instances like Strat and Scholo, also able to CC with turn undead/repentance.
As players got better though, the need for a class that's main purpose was SHTF management was no longer needed, because tanks never lost aggro, healers never ran out of mana, and DPS no longer needed to worry about CC. This forced the Paladin to become a specialist himself, either focusing entirely on Tanking, Healing, or DPS, and essentially losing the things that made him a hybrid.

I don't know, I was in an alliance guild full of old timers and it was quite fun. Sure we didn't get any server firsts when it came to raids, but I got to see all of the vanilla raid content with them. When it game time to raid they neglected their kids and we were able to get shit done. They also had some pretty interesting stories and were just pretty cool dudes.

And this is what DIDN'T happen to me. Still got all screenshots from beta to cataclysm (ok, lost the mop ones due to a hdd crash but who cares for the new ones anyways). Looking through all those old memories seriously brings a tear to my eye. It sounds stupid but those screenshots seriously mean a lot to me since it was the last truly immerse video game experience.
Into my heart an air that kills;
from yon far country blows
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
those happy highways where I went,
and cannot come again.

I'll never ever go back in time and play wow again, this is the worst feel.

Played with a bunch of college kids around my age with Wrath came out and we had a blast talking about girls, calling each other faggots, etc. 10 man versions were good for us because we literally knew everyone and rarely had to PUG anyone.

Sadly, the best summers I've had were spent playing vanilla/TBC WoW with /vg/ on private servers. The guilds always died after a couple months because of drama but I always met bro tier people.
