One thing that was really fun was making a level 19 twink warlock. While twink pvp was fun, the whole process of maximizing a low level character mixed in with the challenge of having an exp limit was really fun. What was really cool was my server had a pretty active twinking community, so you'd see twinks all the time in STV for the fishing contest. God, that was a lot of fun. Level 19 world pvp in a zone where almost anyone and anything can kill you. Good times.

I wish I'd been able to experience vanilla as a total noob in 2004 and not as a guide-reading monkey on private servers in 2010's. A guildie of mine, an actual vanilla veteran, told me some stories that still amaze me.

Coming from other linear games where other areas was technically breaking or out of bounds.
I thought jumping atop structures was a bannable/buggy/glitch offense.
>Jumping atop the statues in ruins of undercity, felt like i could be banned if i get on the top pillar.

Another was in my 20's, a hunter friend and me decided to run down to Tanaris, surprisingly dying little on the way. Once we got to Tanaris, i thought we were going to be banned because it wasnt our level range yet and we hearthed out...

It's actually not, people have been starting green-text stories with "be me" since 2010. Ironically the best way to spot redditors was to look for all the retards complaining about it

After years of doing world pvp, I still get the high from it. There's nothing like tracking down an enemy player to strike at the right moment and ensure your victory, perhaps even against a more powerful opponent or several of them. That's how the trill of the hunt must feel like.

I don't believe you, but considering you're an actual redditor I'll defer to your expertise. Namefagging has nothing to do with reddit, it's been done since the site was created, and i left it up by accident; it's from a different thread.

All while the rules clearly state that terrain exploration is allowed as long as it isn't used to attack players that can't fight back. People are so stupid. For me, exploring stuff is one of the best parts of the game. Even if its all been explored a decade ago, finding new routes of your own is always exciting.

I remember thinking I was the worst tank ever and I probably was but this one time in vanilla a few weeks before BC we started a run in Strath and this absolute newbie tank kept wiping everyone on the first few skeletons. Usually I'd be mad as fuck back then but the absolute ineptitude was so comical I just couldn't stop laughing.

I did shadow labs a hundred times for a specific item. I did it so much I knew every enemies pathing by heart. I was guiding peeps through every run, but this one asshole thought he was awesome and would rush everything before I could say shit. He rushed at that mind controlling ogre boss before we cleared the room around him and the game glitched him through the door behind the boss and pulled even more enemies his character just kept being run all throughout the instance while everyone else was dead probably the most funny shit I have ever seen in the game and the guy went offline instantly after that mammoth fuck up. A week later I saw in the patch notes they fixed a problem with that bosses mechanics and the door that led to that

As someone who played both, I preferred Horde because people treated you well as long as you werent a giant pussy or a retard, and it actually felt like a brotherhood. Alliance always felt super smug, like liberal-arts students, and there were too many assholes and little kids.

Ok dude, you're the one with all the facts on reddit, I've never even used the site before; I only know what redditors posting on 4chan looks like. Also congrats on literally saying "no u" as if anyone needed more proof of you being a underage meme-lord.

No matter how much you say this, it'll never magically become true
If you want to say people complaining about reddit are worse than redditors, that's valid though
>>
>>378906458
The only part about good old days of vanilla that still stands true today, on pservers, is the feeling of community and large scale engagements. When you're a part of a massive army composed of several raids, riding across the plains of Azshara to strike the enemy Azuregos raid and destroy it to claim the loot for your main group, it still feels like the game is amazing and new. Being a part of something massive and great is absolutely magnificent.

I rode from stormwind down to booty bay and up to ironforge and was just amazed at how quick it was.

I ruined my mom's character when I was really young and was somehow allowed to play WoW. I had my own character too, I just didn't like playing it because in my mind "well my mom's character is max level so I can do the raids and I'll have more fun then!" but I had no idea what Item Level/Tiers were and my mom's char still had like, green "just finished leveling" gear. So no matter where I went I was always turned down because I wasn't geared up enough. My young autistic mind didn't understand why I was being turned down left and right (even after being told multiple times that my gear was shit), and this got to the point where in the single biggest mistake I could've ever done, I disbanded her from the family's Guild because they refused to put me in a Kara raid they were doing (with max players by the way) and I had an autistic shitfit. It was around this time too that mom started quitting WoW too, so now not only did I ruin her character, I ruined her will to touch WoW ever again. If there was ever a lesson to be learned, it's to respect other's property as you'd respect your own, not with reckless disabandon. If you ever had to put up with my shit on the Medivh US server, I am so sorry. Oh god, am I sorry.

I used to tank most trash mobs in vanilla & BC dungeons as a fury warrior in berserker stance, and for bosses or tougher pulls I'd put on some relatively tanky gear + shield and it would work fine. That didn't really work when it came to heroic dungeons in BC since they hit so hard though, and then sadly that wasn't really practical at all in wrath and beyond, but it definitely did work.

It was actually super fun and most people didn't have a problem with it. I remember one of the funnest things was when a ranged dps would draw aggro from a melee mob, so then I'd hamstring it and beat the shit out of it while it walked over to the dps and then I'd taunt it back if it didn't aggro back onto me in time.

I loved bc

All I ever did was fish, cook and battlegrounds. The occasional pickup Karazhan run that never went past the Chess boss.

Think I got Justicar during Wotlk though. Quit after they made the work I put into getting that title worthless by increasing rep gain in battlegrounds for the complainers and insta gratification people
>>
>>378913932
In Legion there is a new pvp brawl system, which adds variants to existing battlegrounds.

The warsong one adds 3 flags to each room, the score limit is 10, and you don't need to control your flags in order to score.
Because you get 100 rep per flag,
people spam ran it to get warsong exalted

Got to 60 on my gnome mage during spring break. Knew very little about the end game and just kinda did whatever. I was doing the whole "play til the middle of the night then wakeup at noon" thing. One night im doing a dungeon with 4 other random people. I remember doing at least BRD. I had no idea what the Onyxia attunement was, but a party member did and must have gotten the rest of us to join in.

So we're playing for hours going all over the world doing this quest, I recall at one point being in winterspring I think,and also doing an escort quest in BRD. Eventually we get to the climax of the quest line that has you following this guy you saved from BRD through Stormwind, and all of the NPCs were reacting to us. They'd be saying lines like "Holy shit is that...". And the world wasn't instanced back then, so all of the other players could see us making our way through and being addressed by the NPCs. To make it better, the guy wasn't running to his destination, he was walking, so my teammates and I were RP walking alongside him.

Eventually we get to the throne room, and we've got a band of inquisitive players that were curious what was going on.

So some dialogue occurs, the guy we saved reveals one of the king's advisors as actually being the daught of Deathwing, Onyxia, and all hell breaks lose. 20~ nearby guards turn into these powerful dragonkin, and we along with the remaining guards have to protect the king. Eventually the dragonkin fall, the town is momentarily saved, and we are basically now tasked with the duty of slaying Onyxia in her lair.

In the end I had met up with these 4 random dudes, started on one of the biggest quest chains in the game, then spent 8 hours with then to complete it, culminating in feeling like a total badass as we walked through stormwind.

I made my enhancement shammy guild leader quit the game because he was a dedicated only pvper in early wrath. I was playing a protein warrior before block value got nerfed and he dueled me and lost. Said hold on you won't win with my CDs. He pops wolves, pops lust, and then gets shield slams critter for like 25k. Rage quits and I never saw him on ever again.

That was the best part about classic WoW, everything was a discovery, and experiencing it with others really brought people together. Sure things like dungeon finder make it quick to do content, but you lose the magic along the way.

Blizzard's been pushing SW as the de facto capital for the Alliance ever since though; a lot of services like transmog or portals to current content just aren't in other cities. IF and SW have done a complete 180 now; SW's packed constantly and IF is a ghost town. I miss IF being the city everyone went to honestly, it was always more comfy.

IF was pretty damn hard to attack though, which is probably why we liked it so much.

Elysium is ok. The experience will never be the same, though.

The playerbase is much more experienced, therefore the game feels different. The players make the difference.

>>378927062
IF was the big hub for Alliance in classic because it was both the center of most content (Easier to access from IF than SW due to proximity) and the more compact nature of IF made it quicker to navigate. SW was still popular just because a lot of the population were humans who liked SW for lore reasons. Likewise, Darnassus was just really far out of the way, sitting on the far end of a continent that had very little content on its northern half and you couldn't even use a flightpath from there for a while, having to take the boat. I guess it was sort of like Thunder Bluff, where you could hang around as your hometown, but it meant you had to travel more to go places.

That, and it feels like everything's better logged and datamined now. Back in classic, a lot of places like Thottbot existed but were incomplete.

how i met some of my best friends during tbc.

so I'm a lvl 70 undead lock, on kil'jaden i think, either that or sargeras. i'm decked out what ever season arena gear this set was available (picrealte). I'm bored as fucking ganking around in stv when i come across a pretty fucking skilled undead rogue doing the same thing as me. We start working together and soon piss off enough people that lvl 70 alliance come to deal with us. The two of us were heavily outnumbered, so we off course got beaten, but locks and rogues at the time were overpowered and he was really fucking good, so we give them the good fight. That undead rogue had a second account with an alliance character on that server. He starts talking to the alliance guys that were killing us and they actually were really cool people. They invite both of us to their guild vent and we just start doing chatting on vent. Fast forward a couple of hours and we're all shitfaced. We end up playing hide and go seek in booty bay. Something so simple became such a fond memory because of how much we all bonded.

Ended up spending the entire expansion hanging out on their vent, and doing random shit with them. We even got so close that we all shared accounts with each other so that way other people could play another decked out class that may be on the opposite faction. We all would help each other out despite being opposite faction. I remember I was grinding on the elemental plateau in nagrand, and it was busy as shit. There were so many fellow horde farming that I asked the fellow allies to come gank them till the horde left. Those horde guys got so pissed off at me once they figured out I was friends with the allies.

I remember one time they got their guild and I got my guild to both sign up for AV at the same time. We spent like several hours trying to get our two premades into the same instance. Once it finally happened we just proceeded to dick around and not even try for the objectives.

There was another time were i logged on their vent and listened in on them making plans that they had to sneak into org from the side entrance and kill thrall. So naturally i gathered people from my guild and tradechat, we managed to surpise them at the bridge and slaughter them. They were pretty pissed about that, but in time it just became something to laugh about.

Somehow in early wotlk, my guild and their guild just kind of faded off and we all lost touch. I still miss those days. No vidya has ever been able to give me as much joy in my life as those days did.

It's less that, and more that people simply have an insatiable need to climb to the top above their peers, and places like WoWhead make it easier to do so. There was sort of a childish ignorance in the population at one point, it didn't matter if you were young or old, you just kind of hopped on the game and dicked around outside of the biggest raid groups. It was seen as ok to never make it to some content because it was too difficult, and there were a lot of other things you could still do anyway.

Finishing a dungeon back then was an achievement in itself, the gear was kind of cool but not really necessary since the very low item levels meant everything was pretty close together from one tier to another, unless you were jumping multiple tiers. I think it was said only 20% of the vanilla population had ever stepped foot into Molten Core and done any sort of raiding, and an even smaller fraction had progressed beyond that. And all of that was ok, because people would look at the game like a journey for their character and not simply distill everything down to see where the next BiS item is.

>>378928835
I hate what AV has become.
It's just Rush to endboss
No more collecting blood, no more summoning wolves or airstrikes or buffing General's Warcry
It's just. Not fun.

I'm still waiting for people to program Private Server bots to do that. The best I've seen is WSG but even then the bots are dumb.
>>
>>378929306
AV should've never become what it did. If Blizzard wanted to do that, they should've cooked up another battleground from the ground up so it wouldn't just be something slapped on top of an existing battleground that didn't really work very well at that sort of thing and devolved into what we got.

If I had it my way, the AV we had would've eventually evolved into something akin to a very long duration world PvP zone with better defined objectives to accomplish throughout. Keep things like upgrading the armor and weapons of your troops through scraps, building a shreader to use as a one-time tank, summoning an elemental, and the specific sub objectives of taking towers and graveyards, but make it so each of those goals take quite some time to do. People could drop in and drop out of AV as things go, and they'd get rewards based on what they managed to accomplish while there, be it supplying the troops or farming items from dead players on the enemy faction or whatever.

That's what it originally was. I remember I'd wake up, get into AV, do all of that stuff for a few hours before school, go to school, come back, get back in, and it'd be the same AV. AV battles lasted a week at least.

A lot of it plays a part of why I haven't played wow in a long time. But it's mostly because I'm running out of time to just give up on an MMO. Work and life finally caught up to me after 11 years.

The thing that finally made me quit WoW after playing it since early Vanilla was

in Wrath. That was really the straw that broke the camel's back for me, and I haven't been back since.
>>
>>378931209
What ruined WoW for me was my friends quitting, for various reasons. I was able to have fun up to MoP but after that everyone stopped playing, and I just got bored of playing alone. I could've joined a social guild, sure, but nothing matched playing with RL friends on skype/vent/discord/whatever.

WoW was the worst thing to ever happen to the MMO genre.
>>
>>378931209

I got bored of WoW within 8 hours because it was just a dumbed down version of EQ with less focus on the world, more focus on soloing, and all the chances and penalties for failure removed.

Just endless hand held quest grinding by yourself.

Sorry, that shit was boring in 1998. And the dungeons were all tiny instanced garbage dumps

While i loved burning crusade, flying was the start of what ruined wow for me. For pvp, it's meant a way to go away from danger instead of going face on and having fun

After that, it's the dungeon finder and the cross-realm killing any chance of having friends unless you stick to roleplaying servers

People were more respectful of each others times. I remember doing Zul'Farrak with this obnoxious tank and half way through the healer had enough of his shit and quit.

This. World pvp was the reason I stuck with wow in vanilla. No incentives, no motivation, no rewards, just a desire to fuck with other faction. Disorganized large groups (unfairly) fighting against other large groups.

Level 60 world PVP felt like fucking WAR man. I was on alliance involved in a 4 hour campaign in Ashenvale. They came to Astranaar and we pushed their happy asses all the way back to Splinter Tree post. I remember the exact spot where I told my buddy I was logging because we'd spent 4 hours pvping there, and it was STILL going hot.

Used to summon infernals at Sentinel Hill and watch the noobs try to kill it

WotF single-handedly made warlocks and SPriests dead classes on Alliance-side PvP servers, while over-inflating warlock and SPriest presence on Alliance-side PvE servers.

As a Human Paladin from Mach 2005 till middle of WoD, this is actually kind of true.

horde with mud huts, skulls, and shit attracted different players, and would always be the kind to want to kick your ass irl if they found out you were alliance.

To be fair, it really depends on who you met up with. People who rolled humans could be zealous paladins and priests, edgy warlocks or rogues, or mages and warriors who couldn't shut up about how deep the Onyxia chain's plot was. Similarly, you had orc warriors that were literally BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD levels of memery, bro-tier shamans and hunters who would have your back in a PvP zone, and asshole warlocks and rogues who always had to fight against Alliance.

Everyone likes to generalize both factions, but only one thing is definite -- you rolled Alliance if you ever wanted to ERP.

Death Knights were great before the Cata changes. Finally making an anti-magic class really helped even out the class choices, and it didn't feel horribly forced. Sure, when they were released they were OP bullshit, but at the same time having +15% movement speed AND a pet AND healing AND plate AND high damage made getting through Outlands for the fourth time so much easier.

Yeah, but we're just talking about our own experiences. If you look at the outspoken of each faction then there was definitely a different, but the average player was the same.

Some people also just enjoyed acting as that faction, not actual RP, but just jokingly saying DEATH to ALLIANCe or shit like that, so you don't know if they'd act that way if they weren't that faction.

Blizzard got rid of roaming elites because it made people upset that all of the sudden this random boss would come along and beat the shit out of them when they were trying to farm ore or herbs and then a Chinese player would come along and take their node. So, to prevent that unhappiness from ever happening again, wandering elites were removed. Problem solved!

>>378944849
I'd like to add the following information: the pre-crit per-hit damages* of each weapon, prior to any talents:

Whirlwind Axe: 102-154 damage, average 128
Whirlwind Warhammer: 97-146 damage, average 121.5
Whirlwind Sword: 82-124 damage, average 103

Pure Damage Benefits of WWA over WWWH:
average 6.5 more damage per Whirlwind, Mortal Strike, or Slam
average 3.75 more damage per Overpower
1.3 + AP/350 damage per tick with Rend
3.12 damage per tick with Deep Wounds

Pure Damage Benefits of WWA over WWS:
average 25 more damage per Whirlwind, Mortal Strike, or Slam
average 12.5 more damage per Overpower
5 + AP/140 damage per tick with Rend
12 damage per tick with Deep Wounds

Pure Damage benefits of WWWH over WWS:
average 18.5 more damage per Whirlwind, Mortal Strike, or Slam
average 9.25 more damage per Overpower
6.17 + AP/233.3 damage per tick with Rend
8.88 damage per tick with Deep Wounds

These are the only warrior attacks which benefit from higher average weapon damage at this level, and white damage should, over time, be the same all Whirlwind Weapons. Myself, I see the racial expertise benefits as more useful than the slight pure damage lead that the WWA has over the WWWH for humans and dwarves, but at least now the exact benefits are spelled out.

* I purposely refrain from saying "top end damage" because people are incorrect in using it. What matters is the average weapon damage, which is just the average of top and bottom damage. This is more accurate, since instant cast attacks don't always use the top damage, they randomly determine the damage between the min and the max.

tl;dr only idiots
>>
>>378944880

Not to mention in classic/TBC you couldn't solo the elites, well maybe in TBC if you had the best gear, but that's moot.

Yeah, but there were still many safe areas to grind mobs as that's what you did pre MoP, especially in classic/TBC

TBC introduced "cuz fuck you that's why" elites in areas to help the problem.

Like other anon said, don't. Go to Elysium. It's not the same at end-game, as in you already know everything and raids are very easy because of it, but it's still vanilla WoW and you've got that sweet Vanilla questing.

You get everyone in the guild to do the attunement quest so they can just talk to an NPC outside the dungeon and get teleported to the raid.

Why did Blizzard changed the level of bosses during the later patches ?

Deadmines used to spawn from 15 to 21, Shadowfang dungeon had a level 26 boss, and Gnomergan was even worse. Do you think it was bad design or not ?

That was a comfy read. Thanks anon, kinda hits close to home for me.

>>378946576
Because people complained it was too difficult. If Blizzard changed a mechanic that made the game difficult, it was because casuals would complain about it. The only time there was ever a valid complaint for bosses was C'Thun, because he was literally impossible at release.

Jesus fucking Christ why the hell would anyone think that was a good idea? Dropping that big hammer of light on enemies was the best part of being a paladin.

In all honesty, the only time I played WoW was post-Cata, but STV still gave me that exact impression. Took me 10 times longer to quest there, than anywhere else before that, due to Horde ganks.

Oh child, you know nothing. Back in Vanilla and BC 'Nam used to have the best XP quests centered on Nessingwary's Camp. With no guards. Open to both factions. The end result was Nessingwary's was full of skeletons and roaming 60s that made it the original WPvP zone. The quest "Welcome to the Jungle" was serious business.

>>378947384

At that time, I was fortunate enough to play half of that area with a friend.
Getting from the north down to BB as an alliance toon was a nightmare, especially when arena-time came close and everybody and his dog wanted that fucking chest.

>>378947340
Because casuals who have bad graphics cards couldn't handle the lagdrop and considered it to be an unfair advantage in WPvP, and therefore it had to be changed to make the game fair and balanced.

Stealth detection operates on a different skill set that affects the range a player can see another stealthed player. It's in sets of 5 like normal skills, and at level 60 you have 300 "stealth" against everyone else's 300 "stealth detection".

Hightened senses boost your "stealth rating" to 310 at max level, meaning you have "two levels higher" of stealth, or "level 62" stealth, compared to everyone else permanently stuck at "level 60" stealth detection.

tl;dr Senses doesn't affect tracking
>>
>>378947868
I only thought of that when I already had half of it in my pockets and at that point I finally arrived at BB and dropped them all off.
After I finally finished the quest, which took me nearly an hour just to hand it in, I had to burn the paper where I noted all the pages I had and those missing.
Nessingwary thaught me that Rogue are subhuman degenerates who have nothing else to do in their life but keep a guy in stunlock by standing around you and waiting until the other rogue had done his part.
Diminishing return mechanic was a gift from god for me...

The only time stealth would be used in PvP is if a hunter is guarding a flag in WSG or a node in AB. Every other time they will probably have humanoid up.
>>
>>378945484
classic. They later changed it so you couldnt have the TOEP and ZHC buff active at the same time and in subsequent expacs everyone had just too much health

I gathered all the +stealth gear and potions and used them pretty regularly to stealth around an RP server and make sure no one could see me. Between them and smart vanish use no one is ever going to spot you.

No, actually, my ranks are very average, I play competitive games to have fun, like normies. My Dota 2 rank right now, for example, is only 2.9k and I've already spent over a thousand hours in it.

So case in point, really. I wasn't outside of the normie matchmaking, nor do I sperg out in chats when things go wrong.

Very Average is still way to high to meet girls my dude

In dota the only girls youre gonna meet above 2000 mmr are the streamer bait girls who do shit like play with Singsing and s4 in party stacks, then have someone else boost their solo mmr

My main is 5800~ and I havent played with a single girl on that acc (if you discount SingSing)
My first smurf is 4000~ and I played with Sheever and ODPixel, who were stacked with Bulldog
2nd Smurf is mid 3ks for playing with d2g and Ive had maybe 2-3 girls in my games, they exclusives played CM or Venge
3rd smurf is sub 2k, which I use for playing with IRL friends cause theyre awful and we run into a girl in like 1 in 20 matches

Keep in mind the average mmr is 2200~ and I'm only regularly seeing girls in sub 2k bracket, it speaks for itself

Druids were really hard to play in Vanilla and misjudged as an only healer class. Even in pvp, when fighing a warrior, rogue or even paladin you have to run away and wait for your energy to fill up again or just re-stealth. People except a rogue class as feral but in reality they're awful with their dps, if you dont get a opening or bleed damage going
>>
>>378950604
Dota probably actually has a bigger girl playerbase than league now, cause theres so many cosmetics and you can actually swap/match pieces from different sets

In other games the shits exactly the same.
I've hopped between guilds in WoW since Ulduar, doing all levels of raiding.
The most girls we had in a raid was 3/25 for Dragon Soul normal cause 1 was le typical GMs gf, one was her friend and 1 was a random from the guild
Only time we had a girl in "progress" was in the SoO and she played a Belf BM Hunter getting her ass carried so hard in 10man HC

If theyre not guarenteed attention and loot, theres no point in them trying to play high end cause others will outperform them

a good place to source girls in WoW tho is actually through RP servers and rare battle pet hunts
Bitches love non-content
My GF went out of town for a week once and i just logged her wow acc in and sat in stormpeaks with rarefinder, didnt get her TLPD, but I got her that little valkyr super rare battlepet and she melted
