I have to experience the reality of reaching lvl 60 in SoM. Feels so dull now, I wont raid in SoM because I am done with raids completely because of elitist requirements. I’l just watch WoW Classic streams atm. I plan to go back to TBC and afk. its been a good run in SoM. I might have to go back to retail as if I has much of a choice if I want fun.
yes I leveled it in kingsfall.
I have so much to do in SoM.
Currently i’m leveling a druid with no bear or cat forms. I have a warrior who wears no mail or plate. I have a hunter who uses no pets whatsoever. I have a warlock with only imp pet.
Raids are so boring. You log on once or twice a week only to press one button. Who cares they are more difficult. You just need to gear up more before entering.
we need wrath soon plz blizz
The leveling process, low lvl PVP and BGs are the best part of classic for me. I get bored at 60 too. Nowadays I don’t even bother with 60, I just level my characters to the end of a bracket I want to PVP in (e.g 39, 49, 59) and just pvp on them sometimes and level a new alt to do the same with.
Reaching 60 offers no advantage over that unless you like the 60 dungeons and raids. BGs are far worse at 60 as it just involves queuing into premades and you have to compete with all the no lifers with full BiS. Low lvl you can be casual and just focus on having fun.
I agree that leveling doing all the different 5 mans on the way is the best part of classic. I get bored at max too.
Why I’m worried when I see these people asking for leveling to be even shorter than it is already with the 40%.
atm I have a lvl 12 gnome lock alt and lvl 10 nelf priest to be starshards build. I plan to have these characters work together in proffesions.
also WoW Classic streams and streamers feel very boring to watch. same old Raid logging on streams and hc challenges thats all there is…
There is one Streamer I find only worthy to watch as WoW Classic streamer and that is Caperfin.
for me the game is great at 60 provided the realm has a big population. Then going around winterspring, western & eastern plaguelands, blasted lands, blackrock areas, felwood, silithus and some more (ungoro, azshara…) you can meet players and wpvp and it’s all good there’s plenty to do (gather up wpvp consumables, make gold and buy/make better gear) (so long as naxx patch hasn’t hit, bringing in imbalanced gear). And I have a lot of fun on the way there right now I’m playing 5 chars build them up and wpvp while leveling starting at lvl20.
Wow is too simple of a game for what you are looking for imo
Being on a PvE server where your faction dominates - sounds dull indeed.
Of course it’s dull for PvE players, there are only two raids - Molten Snore and Onyxia. Unless you’re heavy into levelling alts or ranking, what is there really to do in SoM? Now a whole lot right now.
Why would you ever play Classic WoW SoM or otherwise if “I’m not going to raid” was your objective?
Classic WoW is not retail… there is not several things to do at level 60.
The only thing to do is gold making and gear progressing.
lul all i play is vanilla and i’ve never done 1 raid, it’s the best for everything open world
Erm… fun? Leveling multiple characters, enjoying low level dungeons, low level bgs, professions, random stuff. Not everybody needs a goal - or reaching 60 is enough for some.
I was unaware people were driven by something like that in todays MMORPG world.
Thought it died long ago
Have been telling this for years. “Hardcoring” in WoW is what is killing the game (along with bad game decisions but that is already evident).
It’s fun for a group of people, but it is not sustainable for most people. Meta playing is destroying all games, if you don’t play the meta, nobody wants to play with you.
On another order of ideas, the requirements in classic were always absurd, especially when the content was easy.
yeah essentially metagamers won due to thier ways of intimidation on others to play for them… sort of… I dont plan on raiding anymore I am done!
It keeps amazing me how many seem to consider the game as “level to 60 as fast as possible and then you’re done”. A tip could be to reconsider what it’s all about could help.
I’m glad I enjoy doing various quest just for the fun of it, or running instances, or trying to improve in raids, or learning new classes, or chasing rare recipes or drops or elites. or just trying to do the perfect run of xyz.
Perhaps a more qualitative approach to the Warcraft world.
lately i have been finding that the more you give up on a “code of honor” in world pvp, the more fun it is. If for example you don’t attack green players, you are missing out not just on honor points but a lot of fun fights often involving multiple players. Now, I am thinking that even attacking grey players at times is better than ignoring them. This should create some disturbance in the area. gl hf lul
I kill every single player I can. And I will camp them until they call their dad who’s lvl 60, so we can pvp for real.
This is why Vanilla is best.
yeah i think doing away with code of honor is probably better because it is like better accepting what the game is and how it works. It brings more fun then, even though sometimes you will also get killed by skulls, which happens anyway. Just run from them and sometimes you’ll die to them and thats fine.
