Anyone else watch those dev QA?

Those things made me stop my sub. The devs are making it very obvious that they are out of touch with what the game needs and what players are looking for. They just do not care anymore. They havent since WotLK but its just become blatantly more obvious with modern WoW and its new dev team which seems to be comprised of normies and inflated ego devs.

At least with other games the devs actually care about the game and its setting. In WoW they care about neither. Hearthstone and HotS pays more respect to Warcraft than WoW does at this point. At least in HotS Tyrande dresses like she's supposed to and Thrall isn't a pussy.

Well I mean story wise, after WotLK was when they stopped any semblance of a balanced narrative and it all became about the favored race of the year. They just flat out stopped caring about the setting itself and just focused on what hero and race they thought was the coolest, letting everything else go ignored.

>>375502014
In lore, yes, in gameplay, fuck no.

>>375502321
The end of WotLK is when raiding actually started becoming skill based. Raids have gotten progressively more complex and challenging with every expansion since then.

I understand why you think vanilla or TBC was challenging or skill based, but all it tells me is that you stopped playing seriously around Ulduar and are just playing armchair raider.

>>375501670
Good summary.

Slowly but surely after vanilla everything became all fast-travel/queue for everything/basically you're in a lobby or an instance. The devs saying, "fuck the world we created!" type of thing.

Eventually the game dried out. Like, the consensus amongst players being "there is nothing to do in this game and zero reason to go out in the world". But it is a profit machine so they water it every so often. If you read between the lines, you can see how their model is to keep the player on the hook as long as they can before they deign to give them a little bit more content. That + all the (not-so) micro transactions left a bad taste in my mouth. Like, at a certain point, there was something wrong with giving Blizzard my money on principle.

TBC zones were ugly, out of place and lacked life similar to all the shallow Korean MMOs, dungeons turned into uncreative grind tunnels, flying mount disaster began, lore started getting raped for real; TBC was a disaster in all aspects, simply put.

>TBC was a disaster in all aspects
Some of the class balancing was good, arenas were a cool idea, and Hellfire Peninsula at least felt somewhat like what Outland should be even if the other 4 zones certainly didn't and the new races of npc were both superfluous and fucking hideous.

Other than that, it really marked the point at which wow lost its way. The lore getting raped is an understatement.

Well ToT had different difficulties compared to Sunwell. I cleared ToT to a decent extent, but could barely clear first boss or trash in sunwell back in the day.

I think people just have a better understanding of the game now as well as it being more smoother and essentially easier on a general standpoint that makes it easy to play, regardless if raids are more difficult numbers wise and even tactics wise.

Rest is whatever. Game died to me after the "Druid re balance" in Cata where they gutted Feral PvP.

>>375506117

Yup.

They're actually taking a cut from all the gold selling going on.

The true flying battles were the ones where gankers of particular classes (I think Druid and Shaman) would ride right up to you and knock you off your mount and then parachute to safety.

No, it doesn't.

All they have to do is ban VPNs so Chinese can't get on the server. No more gold selling.

They're refusing to do that because, as I mentioned, Elysium staff is taking a cut from all the gold selling going on.

Retail is a shell of what it used to be, and an abhorrent unrelenting grindfest in the worst possible way: you'll find yourself clearing the same single shit dungeon over and over for the sake of leveling AP.

Vanilla is the crack cocaine of videogames and should be avoided for health and social reasons. It's scarily addictive.

Was so excited 10 years ago of WoW when I saw Kazzak in stormwind and molten core fire giants in some shitty youtube video.

But that touches on a sore nerve here, one thing we really can't get back is the innocence of launch. We can never ever flip the switch and go back to everyone not knowing what the fuck they were doing, which was part of the magic of it all.

Time Travel has been a thing way before then. The Garrosh thing is only annoying because while he started as a racist, genocidal fuck he stopped being a racist, genocidal fuck in Cata before going back for literally 0 reason and shoving any budding character development away.

While all of this was true to an extenet, it wasn't a "disaster in all aspects". You either didn't play during Classic WoW proper, or you have a selective memory.

So many classes had such huge fucking problems in Classic WoW that were fixed in TBC.

Threat gen on Warlocks, shitty DPS on everything except Warrior/Mage/Rogue, a total lack of design focus for 2/3rds the specs, etc. TBC fixed a lot of the basics, it just got many other things wrong while doing it.

you basically just killed the game as no new players want to go through that kind of grind

That would actually take more time to level than 1-60 in vanilla if you did that especially since you made it so people have to actually actively look for dungeon groups from levels 15-110

Wrath is easily my favorite expansion, and not only because of those experiences. It just had such an amazing balance of aesthetic, design that wasn't yet overly-designed and ridiculous looking, and the game had still retained it's stat system. PvE was great (minus Naxx), dungeons were great, PvP was at it's all time high until S10, and nothing will ever beat Wintergrasp. Such a great expansion.

>>375501226

>durr vanilla wuz inarguably da best

The only "best" thing it had was it's community, and that was because literally every aspect of it damn-near required you to be grouped up with friends or guildies by end game, and the internet community as a whole had yet to turn into a festering shitpile of hate at that time.

Wrath had everything (for the most part aside from DKs Hunters and Shamans) at a damn-near perfect balance of quality. Then Patch 4.0 came, Blizzard completely switched the game around for the locust swarm of casuals, and the game collapsed. And then the swarm left and all Blizzard was left with were angry and bitter long-time subscribers.

If you really want to play vanilla again there are plenty of private servers around, sure its not 100% the same thing but its pretty damn close and you start to feel like you went back. (fuck all the chinks and russians though)

on a second note blizzard will never announce legacy servers. its been a 90% brand new dev team since the end of wrath, if they do release, they admit that the new game has failed and we all know blizz has a little to much pride for that to happpen. They already have another expansion in the works so nothing if anything will come in the next 6 years.

Still had to appeal to your more hardcore audience.

They steal made the game more simplistic for casuals by doing away with shit like defence, hit, spell hit, etc etc, and the complete homogenization of classes completely wrecked class individuality for 3 entire expansions while they vainly tried to repair them as waves of casuals cried out at them about it.

Programmers, as in the people working on code, don't give a fucking shit how the crap will be received. It's not their job.

Their only job is to make sure that whatever retarded fucking idea that cocksucker comes up with gets implemented without bugs or fuckups.

With that being said, their programmers are as bad as that tumblr faggot. Spaghetti code everywhere, people exploiting shit and getting away with it, every new patch fucks up older content that is completely unrelated to crap being patched etc.

Basically, Activision Blizzard fired anyone who was any good. They downsized the team and got the morons who would do the job for least pay. It's not wonder there's nothing but incompetent retards left.

That problem would be better solved by making 1-60 and so on function more like 100-110 where zones scale to your level.

Obviously there should be some restrictions so you're not killing demons in Blasted Lands at level 10.

But adding to the leveling grind would not fix WoW because the problem is with endgame and not leveling.

>>375510974
They just released a Starcraft remaster, which is an admission that SC2 failed. SC2 has been declining for a long time and BW making a comeback. Exact same situation. They're going to announce a D2 remaster any time now, which is also the exact same situation.

>>375510613
>the internet community as a whole had yet to turn into a festering shitpile of hate at that time

Talk about rose-tinted glasses, lel. The internet wasn't in anyway nicer back then, boy. You're starting to sound like you're talking out of your ass and making points based on what you heard, not experienced.
But you're right about the community. Or, in a better sense, the WORLD. Back then the game forced you to clump together with whichever random stangers are nearby to complete an adventure. You needed to go OUT in the world to do stuff. You needed to interact with it. And that was lost after vanilla. You called that the "best" thing, but really it was the only thing. The game is absolutely nothing without it.

They've obviously improved the engine since then. I never understood this "new engine" meme. Practically every AAA engine is just an updated version of an older engine. The SC2 engine is an updated version of the WC3 engine and was also used for D3, and I doubt Overwatch's engine isn't also sharing code with them. What exactly do you expect them to gain by rewriting the entire engine?

Nighthold is the hardest raid tier of all time. Even with constant nerfs and the fact that you don't even need more than 36 traits on your artifact weapon, and people still struggle to clear it.

Less than 300 guilds have cleared Mythic Gul'dan.

>>375511396
I feel ya.

My dad had used the parental controls feature on the WoW account so that I could only play on Fridays and weekends and even then only during specific hours of those days which resulted in me getting 2 hours to play a week usually. I had loads of fun when I actually got to play but it was hard to sustain andeventually quit.

He paid for the subscription so I guess it's fair. But I'm always going to be disappointed because I felt that early WoW magic and just wasn't able to experience it fully.

I got laid, had a girlfriend for 3 years at the time,but I didn't exactly know anyone with a boat or jet ski. Just went to the beach and hung with my WoW friends, went to the movies, typical teenager shit.

Thing about my dad was that when he was younger, just before he had me, he was a massive tool. Even my mom admits he was a massive tool. Was a gigantic douchebag that fought someone every time they argued with him. Was heavy on coke, painkillers, weed, all that shit (still is today, minus the coke). He sees what my brother and I do in our free time, and constantly feels the need to nitpick us apart and judge us for not doing the shit he did when he was younger.

At the time, it was this crazy foreign concept that girls played videogames. I was already used to it, since we had like, 3 chicks in my vanilla raiding guild, and 2 in the guild I raided with in TBC.

When I started playing in WotLK with those 2 sister friends though, every guy we met was amazed and immediately glued themselves to them to the point where there was a constant entourage of guys trying to jam themselves into whatever activity we were trying to do. Eventually though, like I said, one guy got so jealous that they started making shit up about me behind my back, telling them I was saying this and that, doing this and that, and somehow accomplished driving a massive wedge between the 3 of us.

I still talk to them to this day, but it's not the same. One of them invites me over with friends to play games and shit, but the other still has a bit of bitterness towards me.

I wish a company would take a risk and deviate from the stale formula that the industry has for what an MMO should be.

Pantheon seems to have small aspects to make it unique but ultimately the same tried and true. The best thing seems to be the heavy focus on having to form groups for about anything, not just raids/instances.

I just always get burned out with any MMO at about the lvl 40 or 50 mark regardless of the game. It's just a chore with no end in sight.

I haven't talked to them since MoP. The Paladin got permabanned after he robbed another guild vault, and then completely quit because of all his legendaries.

Ah fair enough. I've recently started levelling back casually on Elysium, not stressing about questing or making money or anything like that.
I know this sounds dumb too but find a normie guild as well. If you're frequented the /vg you'd know to stay about from MoH or any of the /vg guilds.
I found a normie guild, which is tight knit, always grouping up and having banter in the guild chat.

I've never been one to be ahead of the queue, I absolutely loved release date though, everyone fighting for mobs and the rush of excitement being the first few people level 7 to speak in World chat.

Yeah it was a blast, I lucked out and for the first couple days woke up and was ready to play right as a server restart kicked everyone out and I got in past the queue. I remember getting to the Barrens early and the Crossroads was initially pretty empty. By the time I left it completely a few days later it was completely swamped, 20 people fighting over the same spawns.

I'll probably start playing again one of these days. Even if the devs are shady and incompetent it's going to be the only vanilla server around for a while and just casually doing some tradeskills/dungeons isn't going to be a huge timesink.

>ththththey dont remember they have it
>45 seconds poly!

so now we're assuming the shaman is retarded, and we're on a patch where sheep is 45 seconds. impressive shit

>>375513707
They're working on it, they were hiring people to fix up their classics last year. That's where the new SC patch came from and why WC3 now works on non-PPC macs. A WC2 patch probably isn't too far into the future.

>>375514047
I guess you better play vanilla wow before you start to talk about it

>>375514047

No. It locks it for 2 seconds.

>>375514164
I figured we were talking about vanilla, shaman only hard counters mage if the have a free action potion.

Still a good shaman is a bitch to play against no matter what class you are

>>375514104
I remember the small cheat at the start where you could skip the queue by hitting the change realm button.
Haven't been so happy in a long time tho when I logged into a 9k queue only to find out there was a server restart in the next 15 minutes.

Yeah the server has some very dodgy shit going on in the background, but hopefully it'll keep on it's feet and stay around for a while.

>hoping for a BC server but that'll never happen

>>375514369
sheep didnt last for 45 seconds throughout vanilla

>level up a rogue
>get to stranglethorn
>stay there for months because the pvp is so much fun
I will never enjoy a MMO as much as i enjoyed WoW.

I've tried playing on lots of Vanilla servers, but it's not the same without the 2005 community, and the same set of friends you played with.

TBC Charity epics were barely enough to get you into Khara and weren't really better than HC Blues a lot of the time because their itemisation was worse.

I only ever had this issue with one of my first guilds in BC. Good people. But the guild I joined after were bros and there were a few girls. We played together all the way into ICC. We'd do joint raids with another guild for 25 mans and all was well in the world.

you can take lolgen for example, it used to have a meme pic of some pro player every single thread. now its literally anime every thread.
threads had maybe 0-1 trapwannabe every thread and they always avatarfagged so you could filter them, now its 10 people per thread just spamming homo pics.

>>375514863
as someone who never played vanilla i still found it fun. the problem stems from servers shutting down every few months, and every server being run by jews that team up with chinese gold farmers and let them run amok in exchange for a cut of profits.

project1999 seems to capture that classic EQ feeling pretty well because it's been up for so long and the people running it don't fuck around with any gold farming shit.

>>375509545
The DPS classes besides Mage/Warrior/Rogue had more problems with mana than their actual damage. And the retardation that was the debuff cap limited a few others. Plus some questionable design decisions like Moonkins getting mana back from melee attacks and not on spell crits like they changed later. Or Mind Flay being buggy as hell until they finally fucking fixed it when Wrath came out.

Feral Druids were kinda just gimped Rogues as far as DPS goes but Leader of the Pack was nice. Shamans were okay for damage but people mostly kept em around for healing and/or Windfury, Shamans didn't really come into their own as a DPS class until TBC/Wrath when they got Stormstrike and then Lava Lash, and that 33% Attack Power -> Spellpower talent. The gear that Paladins needed to do anything besides heal flat out didn't exist until TBC, and even then only Blood Elves could make Ret passable due to Seal of Blood.

Nostralius team fucked up so bad it's laughable, first they thought that shutting down would make blizzard hire them to make legacy servers then they trusted their server legacy with fucking chinese russians.

I'd pay the texture people myself if they could update all the pre-Mists armors, especially the skimpy stuff, and also fix the stretching and placement problems like the breast cups for the Glorious-style chests, the crotch and thigh-stretching for the loincloths and bikinis, and other things.

For amyn armors, though, it depends on the character model and skin color to a degree how bad they look. This still looks great on female Draenei, for instance.

No they smudge their numbers to make an artificial queue to encourage people to pay for a premium to bypass it.

The server is populated but not that crazy

>>375518275
warmane fakes their population numbers but their servers are tolerable enough
it'll be the most popular TBC server because there are zero alternatives at the moment, TBC's private server scene is in the worst state partially due to Corecraft
