I would like to tell you to ignore him, as itâs clearly a lonely guy, but I feel that just by giving him a new notification to focus on we are saving another cat from beeing strangled.
Classic is great, but I realized I really enjoyed WOTLK the most. Yeah some WOTLK features made the game worse, but overall it was the best experience I´ve had. I don´t think Classic failed and I don´t think it is dead. But I don´t like how they killed ranking and I don´t like how the current knowledge made the PVE content a joke. I think I will stop right here and come back when TBC/WOTLK servers are released.
Itâs the private server min/max mentality that has caused Classic to evolve into what it is today.
Those whoâve spent 12+ years playing the same content on repeat on those servers have distilled the game down into the most efficient way of doing everything, to the point that deviating anything from the meta makes you completely nonviable.
Vanilla was about adventure, discovery and playing outside the lines, you could clear all content and progress well in PvP (even with âmeme specsâ) with a bit of determination.
Nowadays it seems anything that sims less than 99th percentile, whether a piece of gear, leveling strategy, talent spec or gold/honor farming method is so handicapped compared to the âzoomersâ that it sucks the fun out for many of those hyped for âClassic WoWâ.
It was to be expected of course, and the only ones to blame are ourselves.
I completly agree. Funny how pservers min/maxers who farmed this game for 10+ years on bugged servers, which invented half of the numbers, are now the first to complain about classic âbugsâ, destroyed pvp cause of AV honor/hour, too easy raids and so on, aoe dungeon leveling in p1 and so on,and so on⌠and literally every single abuse and exploit of this game was invented by that very same peopleâŚ
WoW in general (including retail) very close to the end of its life cycle. Activision milk it as much as possible and spend on it as less as possible.
However MMOs not really die, just get their sub numbers reduced to the hardcore, which in case of classic itâs about few ten thousands of players and thatâs enough to keep the servers running, but nothing more.
If you care about hardcore PvP and donât like the Alterac Valley, I guess you should try again in 6 months, when your race to rank 14 will succeed with a tenth of the effort people put in it today.
As someone who happily quests and does dungeons with guildmates on the way to 60, with the occasionnal WSG, I can see myself play to the end of 2020, easily. Classic may lose some players who run out of things to do; it certainly wonât die anytime soon.
Itâs never going to be a tenth. Maybe 90% of the current effort. There will always be nolifers willing to grind it out at any stage of the content progression.
Elysium had corrupted russian devs based in occupied Crimea and they were working together with gold sellers,thats why nost devs pulled out from that project. Thats what I heard.
Nostalrius was superb server and devs.
