Your Classic experience?

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Greetings!

I’m enjoying Classic pretty much right now,
and if you feel the same as i do, please, share your experience aswell !
And keep this thread toxic free (:

I can start off by saying that,
The guild is stable, mature and friendly, not yet have i seen any drama.
We’re using DKP and everyone seems to enjoy it.

As a completionist,
My biggest goal has always been to complete every single quest
based on Level, Class, Reputation and Professions
And thanks to Questie’s feature called Journey,
that has become an addiction.

Putting that aside,
We’re having a real good time when raiding,
The combination of laughter, and concentration becomes the ultimate status.

We took down Nefarian recently, and what do you know.
Neltharion’s Tear dropped, which is known to be the BIS trinket through all phases.
I’ve saved all my DKP for weeks and went all in… and won it !
I should mention, i didn’t even have Briarwood Reed to begin with,
so that was quite an upgrade!

So in the general picture, everything feels pretty good right now,
and i look forward to the future phases, i know for one that once the Extra-Dimensional Ghost Revealer becomes available, it will unlock tons of new quests :slight_smile:

Cheers everyone, i hope you’re having a blast in Azeroth aswell !

And here we can see the main pitfall of DKP systems. That a person who didn’t bother to even do a couple of Jed/Rand runs that every fury war and his dog ran for months can stockpile points, skip every meaningful upgrade and unload on a P6 BiS trinket.
Your guild must have an inhuman tolerance to BS for that not to cause a massive loot drama.

As for the topic, I’m enjoying the game a lot. Slowly progressing toward the Winterspring Frostsaber, one of my two goals in Classic (other being killing Kel’Thuzad). We farm BWL/MC/Ony on one evening so I’m looking forward to ZG very much, as some of my fondest Vanilla memories are from there. Also I raid with a team of mages who all respect their class-mates enough to do the minimum effort of farming their Pre-BiS.
God, that paragraph of yours angered me quite unreasonably. You are all that is wrong with DKP systems.

I’m impressed that you somehow manage to make up your own story of how my past has been like :laughing:

Let’s make a few corrections to that story, i’ve done about 60 Jed/Rend runs for that trinket but luck has not yet been on my side. Because everyone knows by now, once someone gets it, he wont hesitate to leave, and another one will join that dosen’t. If you’re unlucky this can repeat itself over and over, unless you reserve it but im not that type of person.
I’ve got key and have gathered the id before making groups for weeks now, so yeah, stating that i “didn’t bother to even do a few runs”, give me a break :joy:
The DKP system is great, you choose what you think is worth burning DKP on, that’s pretty much it. I’ve passed so many opportunities on other BIS items when it comes to bidding because i simply don’t think it’s that much of an upgrade compared to my previous item, everyone has a free choice here, and we don’t base anything on a RNG rolls, which is ridiculous in my book.

Otherwise, great story!

Boohoo! You should be able to use your DKP on whatever you want, if you have a weekly decay on your DKP and still outbit everyone on an item you want, that’s more than fair and as it should be. Not everyone is so sensitive and uptight about loot, that someone who really wanted a glowing pixel got it.

Overall enjoying classic, looooved levelling phase. So much fun, maybe more than raiding now. Raiding has some major downsides like some classes being near useless and gameplay is quite simple compared to retail, but overall still enjoying the game and socialising with people, even random people :slight_smile:

@discussion above:
If you don’t like DKP System just don’t join those guilds. Personally I stay far away from it.

I’m enjoying it just fine right now, given that I’m not playing it. I’m suffering from WoW burnout. Spent too long farming, and now I’m needing a break from it all.

Ok, assuming you aren’t grossly exaggerating, you must be the unluckiest mage in Classic. Jed has 3 items on his loot table, each with 33% drop chance, reed being one of them.
Your usual jed/rand run has 5 players, 2, maybe 3 tops going after the trinket. And that’s again large exaggeration, I’ve personally been in runs where I was the only one needing out of 6 ppl.
If, under such conditions, you truly didn’t get it in 60 scouted runs with jed present… Gratz, you are the only mage in classic who deserves tear without having reed.
But I personally think you are exaggerating alot, did like 10 runs, got outrolled on it twice and gave up. Whatever, DKP is what it is. Enjoy your bis tear.

I’ve started as priest planning to be shadow priest. Because shadow form looks cool and i’ve heard a lot of good stuff about PvP as one.

Then reality bat hit me and if i wanted to actually get gear i had to be healer, because nobody needs SP and also playing SP kinda sucks cause mana is gone in 10 seconds. Eh. I tried healing, i really hate it

So now priest is on remote island fishing naked.

My new toon thats supposed to replace him is warlock, 40 lvl now, really like gameplay. And lifetap. God i love lifetap.

Take a shower to cleanse yourself from all of that salt and grow up.

I’ve responded to posts like this before but i’ll say im having a great time and im kicking butt.

I did the grind to 60 3 times on Pserver and did TBC levelling twice while Classic was getting close, had the most fun here by far despite the unique issues.

I have only been progressing with this character, no alts. I’m at 57 days so far and im still always grinding.

There was some things I miss about private servers…I played with/against basically the best players in the world without fully realising and appreciating it or the experience I got from it.

No i’m not exaggerating, and yes i’m fully aware of the drop rates based on wowhead. The head is mostly what drops every run, and the few times wood dropped one of our 4-5 other casters wins it. And yeah, i already stated the unlucky part. I’m not sure why you don’t buy this part, instead you simply correct my reality into your liking.

Still waiting for your argument regarding DKP and why it sucks :stuck_out_tongue:

The thing with DKP is that you can have a fair game. Everyone in my guild said i deserved this trinket. Regardless what i had before but because I’ve saved my score for weeks and missing opportunities with other bis gear. That’s the purpose with DKP.

I never said DKP sucks, just that your story incudes the main pitfall of the DKP systems. Which is hoarding dkp for that one desired item at an expense of potential upgrades going to waste. That, combined with a fact it rewards raidlogging with 0 consumes and just semi-afk your way through the raid makes it overall decent for full farm raids but terrible for progression. Not saying you specifically semi-afk through raids, but you could, and still get your tear just the same.
I am in a DKP guild myself, I’m just aware of the system’s problems.
I admit I was too combative yesterday, but I think I was expressing my anger at the DKP systems in general and just used your story to channel it. I suppose you may in fact be the unluckiest mage on Azeroth and you truly do deserve the tear. So I apologize.

I suppose DKP systems are a microcosm of government in general. DKP is capitalism with/without regulation (role, class, seniority priority) while loot council is various forms of centralised control - great in theory and working for small, dedicated, voluntary groups (hardcore progress guilds) while being EXTREMELY prone to corruption, conscious/unconscious favouritism and outright descent into drama and inevitable breakdown.
So in the end you go with DKP with some minimal safeguards (main spec prio), and just hope for the best. But I digress.
Gratz on the trinket, sincerely this time.
