Resubbed for Classic. Instantly Regretted it

Played a bunch of now dead Priv servers: Nost & Lights Hope being the main two, and i loved the vanilla game.

But Classic isn’t that game. Classic isn’t what the Nost team was fighting for, what we as a community had been asking for, for so long.

. I logged in & instantly noticed almost every hit connecting with 1 dagger skill.

. My health regening like retail.

. Hardly any damage from the starter enemies too…

I wanted to play Classic wow, not retail without the expansions…

What a load of crap.

Is not that bad, but surely far from perfect.

Still this is what we got, and beggars can’t be choosers. Or so they saying goes.

Starter levels are made to be easy, wait until you get to 12+ then it gets better.

Like most people you are mistaking Vanilla with Classic. This isn’t a 100% recreation.

Having played on one of the “Original” realms on a friends private servers account I can say with 100% certainty, most of the things you say happened there at low levels. And yes, you do miss, killing 3 mobs then ragequitting isn’t representative of the rest of the game.

On the surface level, sure. But there’s no reason for professions like cooking, or even socialising, at least for what were tough quests… which imo just makes classic as bad as retail.

And i really thought we’d get no changes too.

Cooking was in Vanilla.

You can’t have it both ways, it was either tough or easy.

Sorry but I call BS - I was levelling polearms On my pally. I missed and missed for 2 mins and had to heal.

Health regen is nothing like retail.

Plenty of damage from mobs if you’re on starter gear. You’re just making it up.

I aggroed 3 of the spiders from the cave in the Nelf starting zone at lvl 1 & didn’t die w all white gathered from the first quest. In private i had to buddy up with another player to do that at lvl 3, and it was still a close call.

Private servers have many mistakes, vanilla had improved hit tables for low level players

Yes. I literally did, moving on.

I mean OP is right, Classic is a really bad emulation of Vanilla. it doesn’t feel like Vanilla. It feels like retail with a vanilla mod.

But it’s like a shining turd. Even if it is shiet, and it is, it’s still Vanilla. And the worst version of Vanilla is still an amazing game.

You are comparing it to private servers I guess… I’d say that’s your problem. Honestly, it’s quite likely that the starting zones were overtuned on private servers. I mean the points OP brought up aren’t even real issues. What about layering? Itemization from P6 in P1? The huge battlegroups? Huge server pop with too few servers at launch?

Kek, another Private server justice warrior, love those, according to legends, they are the finest whiners of them all.
But I gotta remind you :
Who … the … hell … cares … ?

Nobody, nobody mate.

I noticed it too, the lowest levels in Classic seem undertuned compared to privates. But this “difference” disappears by about lvl 10, then 2+ mobs start to be a struggle. I wasn’t able to solo 2 troggs near Hogger just recently on my lvl 8 paladin.

Probably bugged.

Dungeons are probably bugged too. Blizz “disproved” it during the Beta test, but I still have this hunch.

I think what you’re complaining about is called level 1-5 content. My mage was killing these mobs quite fast, drinking very rarely. My warrior was a demolition train, doing all 1-5 content in one sitting, without eating even once.

But I’m not sure what you expect from 1-5 content, anyway. It’s supposed to hook people into the game, not scare them away.

Also, if you’re comparing it to privs, there’s your problem. It’s not a secret privs and their tuning tend to be way off the mark (either overtuned, or unscripted garbage). No one’s gonna change 1.12 data just because a bunch of privs are doing their own thing.

You really shouldn’t be spending money on a game you clearly don’t enjoy. Feel free to unsub.

Was buffed at a point in Vanilla.
Not changed in Classic, so it’s true to the original game.

Research better next time.

“Well acshualy”

1.12 is the most nerfed version of Vanilla indeed, but that’s what we have, you should’ve known that.

Huh, suppose i’ll trudge up to darkshore & see for myself then,
(i hope you’re right btw)

When Kevin Jordan himself said the healthregen before the fix was too punishing, therefor he called for a buff back in 2004/05,who are you blaming then?
