Private servers are nothing like retail. They have thousands of bugs and most of them make the game much more difficult. If you’re used to farming anything there, Classic is a joke.
It is impossible to recreate the vanilla experience to someone that has already had it. Perhaps with some kind of memory-erasing tech… Those who got the experience the first time WILL have a different experience this time.
Others speedrunning the game affects noone else in practically any way. The only impact might be some high level stuff at the AH.
Speedrunning a game is like speedreading a book. So you did it in 5 days and I will do it in 50. That means that they had fun for 5 days and I will enjoy myself (with the same content) for 50. How is this bad for me?
Personally, I hate the way Blizzard releases expansions (and from what I’ve heard, still do today): every expansion trivializes all previous max-level content. So when they released TBC (which I do love, btw), I was far from done experiencing vanilla: NOT COOL. It’s not that I hate new expansions but that I want to play them at my pace.
I don’t think that the mechanics in vanilla are the greatest and, in my opinion, a bunch of improvements could be made. I’m playing Classic for BWL, AQ40 and Naxxramas. When I’m done, I hope there’ll be an OPTION to move/copy my character to a TBC realm. If Blizzard messes up again, I’ll leave once more.
Besides, even if these people of which you speak are as great as they seem, place every single one of them into 40 different guilds with a bunch of average players and see them wipe a million times without progress. That’s just how the game works.
Dude, everyone can play the game how they want to play it. That’s the beauty of it. and to quote one of the other people that answered you: “Who cares?”. Good for them, hope they had fun doing it. Let’s all just have fun.
So people can chose to do that in a authentic environment if they chose to.
Pirate servers overtuned classic because in all fairness, it was an easy game.
Buckle up kids
Why? Pretty pointless.
Yeah lets make the game impossible for casuals just like it TOTALLY was during classic so only the metagamey guys can do it weeks in and everyone else just can’t. Fun.
It isn’t though. You’re only on that treadmill if you chose to be.
Bit early for BC.
We do, you clearly don’t.
They did this and recreated classic as was in 1.12. Now your sat here crying because people who have been practising on pirate servers for years are blowing though the not overscaled version.
If you want to convince people, starting providing arguments that are convincing. Someone is better then me/other people are competitive and try to be the best is true for everything. What next? “Remove Easy-Legendary in Halo and make Mythic the only difficulty because streamers blow though campaign too fast on Heroic”?
I only did 3 bosses in MC back in Vanilla.
I never got into Bwl
I never got to exsperience AQ40 or Naxx-
But now i have chanse to do these things again with all my mates.
At a Pase trueish to how the old game was. I never cared much for going on private servers. now we are 10 at ts all the time making this levling journey together.
It Looks like some people are to fixated on the meta endgame aspect of the game and forgets/hates the journey up til 60. Why even bother playing then? i ask.
And why do you care so much and whine about players minmaxing and killing these bosses in record times? True vanilla exsperience? We where all noob plebs 15 years ago. Now we got Exsperience under our belts. ofc we will break old records with 15 years of Repetition.
I think the only problem is that MC older than 1.12. Perhaps they’re able to clear MC and Ony even at the “true” start. But in my experience, raids become much easier after all raid nerfs and class changes by 1.12 (and it was not only because better equipment)
I mean, it’s been known since forever that private servers buffed raids and dungeons to make them harder, like 90% of private vanilla servers did this.
So it’s to no one surprise that classic raids (especially MC and Onyxia) get cleared this fast.
Sorry to say but the fact is, if you want challenging raids and dungeons, retail is waiting for you.
Thats just what you get with 1.12. WOW and reworked classes. I remember how we did Rag when it was a skill check and a long road to take. 3 Months to be precise, that was the real thing.
Now every monkey can clear MC, 1.12 was a big mistake but so be it, it´s too late now anyways.
Okay - so they did it the first week - leveling, did attunements, skipped the old “required” gear etc and did the raids in… 4? days?. thats the thing i got caught up on. Well to me it isnt a race i just want to do it again.
If you think that applies to insulting you should take history lessons. You are probably someone who thinks right to free speech means that everyone has to let you say everything without repercussions.
