russian servers were 50000% more stable than blizz servers
russian servers had 5500000000% better scripting than blizz servers

only downside was they would give chinese shit for money but who cares it's free

>>712650095
calm down sergey, who are you quoting?

>>712650393
idk i just remember playing on like 20 1.12 servers before official classic came out and the "good" blizzard version sucked ass

isn't this a bit much? also, did they just fanfiction most of the added lore from quests/raids/etc?

>>712650095
The server is hosted in the UK and China is range banned. It’s looking to be so much better than TWoW by just that alone.

>a bunch of funserver custom content
>500 online
yeah they sure showed blizz

>>712650604
>China is range banned
china is gonna ddos them
at least that's what happened when kronos rangebanned china, the bugmen sperged so hard that they ddos'd the server for weeks until rangeban was removed

>>712650571
you dont need much of "fanfiction" to make a few hundred "bring me 8 more dire wolf anuses" quests to be fair

wow, thanks

>>712650836
>more dailys (work) but with different hex colors on the enemies
this is kino

>>712650571
I think the added quests are very much transparent in that, if you didn't already know the original quests by heart, you couldn't tell if they are Blizz or Epoch. I would consider myself pretty well-versed in WoW fluff and there's some nitpicking I made during the public tests, but then, you could also nitpick the inclusion of night elves into the Alliance, and apparently the new quests have gone through a review since, so maybe they're going to be less nitpickable than they used to be (certainly, looking at their Github, I have noted other non-fluff nitpicks I made being addressed).

WoW is still loved by some of the worst addicts and manchildren on the internet

>>712650985
its vanilla, it never had particularly good questing experience anyway

>>712651025
I played during beta 1 and 2 mostly, and while there were a lot of "baby's first custom quests", I remember coming across a few quests I initially thought were backported from BC or Wrath, but found out were actually totally new, which was really impressive. On the other hand, I really don't like how they've replaced some already existing quests with their own (Mankrik's wife namely). Custom content should always ADD to the world, not replace what's already there.

>>712648212 (OP)
wtf this server is actually launching lmao

>>712651695
yeah i can't believe it either, i always thought it'd be vaporware because it was beta after beta after beta with no launch in sight.

good, outland was the worst part of TBC

what type of server is it? pvp or pve?

>>712654124
see >>712650007

its disgusting

>>712654376
that doesn't answer anything, I'm asking what the server ruleset is, because I have a lot of fun ganking for the first month or so on new private servers

What are you guys gonna roll? I'm gonna play a holy undead paladin!

>>712654578
dwarf male shaman but not going to lie, hearing about crossfaction just now makes my dick soft

Take the Azerothcore pill and play solo on your own private Wrath-era server with player bots populating the world.

>>712654578
Tauren hunter

>finally kicked the wow itch
>feel nothing but disdain when I see these gay ass funservers shilled all over /v/
I'm free.

>>712654537
what do you think, considering its crossfaction, retardo
pvp is optional, aka, it wont exist, its the same as Troondle

>>712653791
The way TBC changed classes is in vast majority of cases an obvious natural evolution consistent with the original design (be it adding WC3 hero abilities, adding stuff that frankly should have always been there like Crusader Strike, or fixing gameplay flow issues like thunder clap not being available in defensive stance). There's some questionable changes (like felguard - should demonology not be a master of all demons as opposed to basically replacing the extant demons with a more powerful addition?) but on the net I haven't seen a custom content server that wouldn't have been better off with just going the TBC route.

>>712654721
My first ever character was a tauren hunter. I pissed off a lot of people because I didn't understand the need or greed system and I wanted every weapon because they looked cool.

>>712654850
I think you're a dumb nigger who can't answer a simple question. Just because you can join another faction's party doesn't mean it can't be pvp. There is even pvp on stupid ass turtlewow in the form of warmode.

What is the server setting?

>>712655028
you quite literally might be braindead, im afraid

>>712655214
>can't answer the question
You're a dumb nigger.


I found a hint:
>—even on our PvE realm.
So it sounds like there will be two realms

>>712655028

>>712655353
>So it sounds like there will be two realms
nope

>>712654578

>>712655423
>PvP is a core pillar of Project Epoch, and we've made sweeping changes to ensure it thrives—even on our PvE realm.

Why would the specify 'our pve realm', if there is only one realm?

ESL thirdie retards in this thread. Post source of server ruleset.

whats the point of project epoch? just vainilla with tbc talents and skills, a few more collect bear quests??

idk i feel like turtle reworks for the classes at least brings some novelty to the game rather than playing the same 20 year old thing

>>712655674
>whats the point of project epoch?
grift a couple thousand dollars a month out of the subhuman private server crowd, eventually move into selling gear/drops/gold to elite raiding guilds or russians/chinese on the downlow, if the server thrives and has a population to sustain such activity

>>712654702
i'm just not impressed with the bot options that are currently available. my ideal would be gearing up my own party and having my other characters appear as bots, but the modules/addons i've tried for bots have a lot of broken/missing features and lack any kind of inventory management, so questing with more than one character turns into a lot of relogging and inventory management. Erenshor is probably better for this kind of thing although it's based more on EQ than WoW.

that's like asking why people like shooting hoops or playing footie

>>712655674
it's built from the WOTLK version of the game meaning it's a better, more modern client and it's much easier to modify than the 1.12 client. you don't need janky .exe hacks for autoloot, it has borderless windowed out of the box, etc. it's also not just straight vanilla talents, they've made some changes based on things from TBC and WOTLK that worked out as well as some original stuff.

also it's not just the same 20 year old game, they've made a lot of changes. new quests, new items, every dungeon has been extensively reworked so everything has a fresh coat of paint compared to Turtle which has some really janky, amateurish custom content because of their client limitations. (the high elf area is terrible)

>>712656058
I actually never thought of it like that, huh

>>712656074
ill give you that the world and areas seem better in epoch, im currently not playing turtle because it physically bothered me my character not having a shadow, so im waiting for the unreal thing
but for the gameplay itself, idk, maybe some of turtle class reworks are dogshit and others are rather unbalanced, but having stuff like warlock grimoire of sacrifice, melee hunter, a revamped paladin, shadow rogue support or such feel kind of more fun and novelty rather than the same old classic classes

>>712652823
>the age olde story of Chinese goldfarmers persist even to this day
kek, I remember all the memes and songs written about them during TBC and WotLK, good times

>>712656370
i don't play turtle due to the power tripping GMs who seem to delight in terrorizing the playerbase. stuff like forced renaming of guilds, threatening to ban people for dancing naked outside of the SW bank.

>>712655674
For one, the custom content is plentiful and from what I've seen in the test, of very high quality. Secondly, the dungeon and raid content has also been buffed/redesigned to match the new capabilities of classes and contemporary skill levels, so the experience of doing Start/Scholo/MC/BWL/whatever is probably going to be more like doing pre-nerf TBC heroics or buffed SWP. And then, it's not like the classes are exactly like TBC but rather using TBC as a baseline with further changes made with benefit of hindsight (because frankly that's the obvious way to go forward in vast majority of cases, and e.g. Turtle distances itself from vanilla design paradigm by not doing so), and it's not like you have much different from doing level cap content with TBC talents, buffed content or not: it's going to feel novel for the same reason as doing directly unchanged bits of vanilla content with Cata/MoP/whatever mechanics doesn't offer the same experience as doing it in vanilla.

>>712656695
I quit turtlewow because one of the head mods teleports me across the world whenever I would gank the crossroads for hours at a time.

I don't even kill quest npcs, I just kill warmode lowbies as they are passing through or AFKing under a tent.

Well I must have pissed off the staff because after I got 'famous' for doing that every time I entered the barrens and started ganking, a mod would force teleport me to a random zone. I thought it was a weird bug the first couple of times, then third time it was obvious I was being mod abused.

I reported it and got by a smiley face as a reply.

So gg twow you won against the nasty evil mean ganking night elf hunter.

>>712657086
yeah that kind of behavior from the GMs is exactly why i don't play there anymore and i will always discourage anyone else from doing so in these threads. especially the ones they post themselves to advertise the server. it's passive aggressive bitchy power tripping shit like that, can't even have the balls to tell you to your face that's what they're doing.

>>712656074
It's not really *just* a Wotlk client, the devs have also done a ton of work on the core due to the fact it's a frankenstein combination of vanilla, bc and wrath data.

>>712657420
sounds horrible and like its gonna invite thousands of options to easily break it

Oh twow...

I also got banned once for a couple weeks for offering gold for people to PM me racial slurs, then reporting them for sending me racial slurs.

I asked what rule I had broken and he said 'it was obvious'.

>>712657995
Deserved
What im most excited about with Epoch is retards thinking it's some based /pol/ server

however, I did NOT get banned for SELLING forbidden words, and mailed people a letter "nigger" "spic" "kike" etc, whatever they wanted in return for a cod amount, with my signature of course

>>712658086
fecaloid fragility is a terrible thing, get well soon lil buddy, DO try to remember you are online and words cant actually hurt you

>>712657086
what you're doing is faggy but the mods are faggier so I'll be on your side

>>712654578
Orc warlock like always. I really can't decide if I want to do the 50% experience challenge. All the extra quests will probably make getting to 60 a lot easier at 1x but I also don't want to burn out if .5x ends up being a huge pain at 40+

>>712658283
I'll tell you how faggy it actually was and then you can really decide.

What I would do was hide outside of render distance on top of a hill behind something in the barrens, then use the improved eyes of the beast talent (For 3 minute long eyes of the beast), and then terrorize crossroads for 2:30seconds (30 second run time) with a level 60 stealth cat, which would simply despawn when I ended the channel, which meant that people responding with their own level 60's could never actually find the hunter controlling the cat.

I had a couple different pets but my favorite was my panther with the same name as my AFK level 60 druid (2nd account), because all the time horde newbs would shout that a level 60 druid was ganking them, and then it would confuse the fuck out of people /who ing the character name.

How does this compare to Turtle WoW? I hate that Turtle uses the stupid old client.

>>712659016
its WotLK client, so the backend is a lot more modern, it will probably have wotlk gamefeel

>>712659016
It uses Wrath client

>>712659016
it's better in every way

I really hope the new quests are actually good and not le 20 quest long chain for a shitty item like in turtle

>>712652128

Yeah, I feel bad for them too. Must be fun to join erp guild that circles around some trannys pet knotting all of them and if you dont play along say bye bye for the raid/dungeon spot. They are literal tranny discord groomers. God help them who join their circle jerk

>>712648212 (OP)
Official classic is just playing catchup to what private servers are doing at this point. SoD was already copying bits and pieces of shit Ascension was doing.

>>712659391
that sounds pretty cool tbdesu

>>712659360
Unfortunately that is the biggest downside of private servers. They always have to be hosted in bumfucknowhere russia to avoid getting taken down.

>>712650007
>crossfaction
This is basically a necessity in a world where WoW no longer has 10 million people playing and most of the ones still around are tryhards who will immediately swap to the dominant faction on any server leaving people on the less popular faction starving for people to queue with.

>>712660095
You don't join "4chan guilds", just play with decent people from the imageboards.

>>712659016
Turtle has way more content and has been up for 7 years. Epoch looks more polished since it's newer and WoW modding tools have gotten better since 2018.

The real test is if Epoch can survive as long as Turtle did, a rocky launch and the population dropping due to another FOMO like TBC Classic can be a death knell.
Im not sure how Turtle survived the chink invasion and Classic WoW releases.

>>712660095
Guild should be made by semi sane person and the moment the degenerates try to flood in just kick them and tell them to fuck off. You give those mongoloids an inch they will take over the guild with their clique discord grooming tactics. In all honesty, you are better off playing on some normie guild at this point

>>712659360
that's completely fine for WoW though?

>>712660095
4chan has been infested with /soc/ fags that treat it like twitter

>>712660095
You'll have more luck abandoning this place and trying to undo the brainrot so you can function around normies again than to find a few dozen other people who are at precisely your level of brainrot, no more no less.

>>712660216
Turtle used to have ~100 people online average for years it wasn't until relatively recently that the playerbase absolutely exploded, largely because the administration invested heavily into advertising.

So its TBC era skills right? I wonder if Paladin or Druid will be a better tank considering the changes they added to Druid.

>>712660314
/wpsg/ is literal trannies and furries now

>>712660340
There's nothing to be gained from trying to reconnect with walking automata that are normalfaggots, those people have no souls.

>>712660216
Turtle had like a ~200 peak pop at most for years, it wasn't until Classic ended that the population actually began to grow significantly

>social pariahs have nowhere to go

>the normal people left because they got bored and have real life friends meaning they don't form the same attachment to a general as the mentally ill pariahs do
keep in mind these fags aren't just trannies and furfags, but they're the trannies and furfags who weren't even accept by their own group of outcasts, they're outcasts among outcasts

>>712660368
It's only somewhat based on the tbc talents, there still changes to those trees and even new abilites so It's not really the same.

>>712660095
clique of nolife NEET discord trannies feel that controlling 4chan private server WoW guilds is the only thing they have in their life so they literally spend all of their time trying to sabotage other guilds so they can control the only "4chan" guild. i think the other part of the problem is most anons don't want a strict structure and don't want "leaders" so they don't want to lead themselves either.

i just want a guild where i can joke and say fag without a bunch of normies and retards freaking out over it.

>>712660368
I think Druid is one of the classes with more significant changes than most, especially in regards to itemization. I would imagine the devs are at least trying to make most of the playstyles viable.

>>712658749
You did the right thing and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Faggots always had an option not to choose warmode. They ticked the "war" box and then cried when war came to them sooner than they anticipated it.

>>712660575
>>the normal people left because they got bored and have real life friends
some of it might be that, some of it is also the way generals pan out on this place. /vg/ is basically unmoderated and cliques can just fester and take over threads, or schizos with literal no lives can just spam a thread for 12, 18 hours a day. it makes all the more normal posters not want to bother.

>>712660368
both druids and palas are completely viable in BC with their own niche, and it's not like the classes are set in stone so they can always be buffed if need be.

>>712660707
One day i will make another guild. See you there then

it was a nice thread

>>712660216
Bullshit. All the worthwhile content in Turtle is vanilla content. They've had 7 years and all they've done is add an embarrassing Hyjal which is retail-like token grind, a island with copy pasted STV assets and quests and an admittedly okay (if you're alliance) Gilneas. Oh and if you really, truly hate yourself there's a new raid you can totally pretend isn't fucking awful in comparison with the vanilla wow raids (an exceptionally low bar)
The custom quests are amateurish at best. So much so that I, despite barely having played vanilla wow, instinctively knew when to use wowhead or turtle db for a quest if I got stuck.

What people play turtle for is the class changes and crucially the moderation, while lethargically engaging with the crap they added.

>>712660939
>Both druids and paladins are only good in PvP in BC

Yep, it's gaming time.

>>712660968
holy based

>>712660180
it really isnt, retard

No talent fixed so hybrid classes are utterly busted in a bad way and required to heal in raids while DPS classes get to act like mouthbreathing thirdie niggers no thanks. Retail has its problems but fixing the hybrid curse is the one of the few things they did correctly. Not healing or tanking for you, next.

I like crossfaction because it means I can molest all the cute gnome girls as horde

>>712660509
Turtle also started out as just regular classic with slow leveling (like -50% xp gain) which was dogshit and deserved to get low player count.

>>712661180
>meme aoe trash tanking that is useless outside of two places in the game

You've never played the game beyond hitting max level and then quitting. Warlock, hunter and shaman were the classes that owned TBC in PvE.

>meme aoe trash tanking that is useless outside of two places in the game
What the fuck are you smoking? TBC has the most notoriously annoying trash mobs in the games history and even a raid that requires you to fight off massive waves of trash as the main gimmick. AOE tanks are what every group wanted.

>wotlk client

Fuck turtle and their janky retarded vanilla client.

Everyone is modding the shit out of it.

>>712661396
No talent changes huh? Why did you so boldly state an opinion so easily proven wrong? Lets play spot the difference shall we bro

>>712661212
Lol what? I don't know which boogieman you are talking about. I'm not some turtle wow shill and i started playing turtle wow 1 week ago. Those features just looks like the same shit but in different package. Classic with tbc mechanichs and tuned raids. It's fucking SoD. At least turtle wow have some fresh content and reimagined state of class balance.

>>712661737
You're not going to be the tank tanking that raid trash.

>>712661790
Buy an ad

>>712660368
It's "TBC baseline": there's some stuff that's changed back to work more like vanilla (for example, enhancement shamans have been changed such that dual-wield isn't trivially better and you can do 2h enha playstyle), there's some stuff from later expansions (like arms warriors getting bladestorm, some of the paladin blessings being converted to "hands", or the general mechanics change of buffs being raid-wide like in Wrath), and some stuff is just custom (including the exact numbers and tuning).

For raids I strongly suspect it's going to be like TBC where it's ideal to have one of each (just to cover the bases, I don't know what speedrunning meta was for TBC Classic, I'm talking about buffed content in which bosses pose a kill threat and you have to do "properly" instead of essentially skipping mechanics). For dungeons it depends on pre-raid itemization and the tuning: in actual TBC of course you had S-tier craftables or otherwise readily accessible gear like Heavy Clefthoof set while paladins have the lowest innate defenses (but good scaling), so for some of the tougher pre-nerf heroics paladins were prone to get globaled with pre-raid gear (by Bonechewer Raveners, Ravenguards, Durnholde Reinforcements, Fel Overseers, and such like). If the dungeons aren't tuned quite that harshly then AoE-tanking capabilities are nice.

>>712661862
I accept your concussion

>>712650604
Isn't China range banned on TWoW too?

>>712661795
Turtle exists as a containment hole for illiterate retards like you.

>>712660180
you are dumb, look at troondle, it has 10k people online, literally more than 2 regular blizzard realms back in the day and its still crossfaction for some reason, cos trannies dont like pvp and its just a giant hugbox cringe shit

epock will also have ltos of players onlien and there is literally no reason for it to be x-faction

>>712661795
>reimagined state of class balance.
This is how i know you are lying

Reminder that in the Turtle dev discord dump they openly discussed paid shills in reddit and other social media platforms. It would not be odd that this included 4chan. If there's posts vehemently defending turtle or denouncing epoch that looks a bit odd, it's very likely one of them.

>>712661998
no, they just gave them their own realm, but there are still some chinks on the "main" one

>>712662035
Yeah that would only happen for turtle and never EVER EVER for any other private server, private servers have NEVER EVER been known to lie shill and spam just that one of course, right Ivan

>>712661227
UKH has awesome boss fights and the second half being Outland is a cool idea.
The difficulty spike is noticeable though, it's not a pushover like the rest of the raid content.

>>712661998
If it is then its the most easily bypassed rangeban imaginable. The biggest guild on turtle has CN in the name

>>712661927
The server states it has custom tuning to make the game harder, but that might only apply to overworld content

Well yeah, most developers shill on here at some point. Its like the second biggest forum on the internet.

I see you've chosen Deflect out of Deny Deflect Diffuse shillbro

>>712662035
It absolutely includes 4chan, more than any other site. Those literal troons bring up turtle wow in every single /v/ wow thread, constantly try to turn the private server general on /vg/ into a turtle general, and immediately lash out at any post that even mentions the name of a different private server.

>>712662382
This has already been disproven like 10 times in the thread you're either a shill or actually illiterate see >>712661790 not only are the talents completely different there are entirely new spells and gear on top of it.

>>712662219
The dungeons have a few extra mechanics but the overworld is indeed easier due to Wrath changes and TBC+ talents.
People forget TBC and especially Wrath really nerfed Vanilla content and reduced the number of elites.

Turtle also fucked up with this with CC2 overtuning some classes early on.

>>712662287
It's kinda fucking slimy how turtle does it though. Most devs are like "I found this cool game on steam looks cool right bros haha". Not sliding into other pserv threads and screaming that it fucking sucks oh and by the way have you checked out turtle?

>>712662132
Every other pserver gets at most like one offhand mention in these threads, whereas Turtle for some mystical reason gets brought every time without fail. Must be coincidence.

>dwarf shaman
>undead paladin
>crossfaction
>choosing racials
yaaawn

>>712662502
Overworld mobs also have changes and were made harder.

>>712662219
It's definitely dungeon and raid content as well, all bosses are basically reworked (and there are new raids and new bosses, like Onyxia's lair getting two new bosses).

Do I Ironman or Explorer mode first?

>>712662687
They really must not be paying you very much this is kind of pathetic

So is this server going to actually stand out? Or is its only main draw that there's undead paladins? Because the trailer didn't do shit to generate any hype nor make the server sound unique.

>>712662338
>immediately lash out at any post that even mentions the name of a different private server.
Lol they used to have a copy/paste they'd reply to every post that had the word "ascension" in it. It was the exact same comment every time and complained about something that wasn't even still on the server.

>>712662838
It's vanilla+ not run by a bunch of greedy kikes. What more do you want?

>>712662028
Maybe I am. As I said, I'm playing TWoW for a week. I started as a priest, looked up for guides and discord trannies opinions, and found out that smite priest is actually a thing on this server. I don't know about other classes but smite priest looks like reimagined state of class balance.

>>712662838
Then you're dumb. Its probably going to be the #1 or #2 vanilla era server.

>play during beta 1
>report a bunch of bugs, gms even thank me for reporting them and ask if some mechanics of my class (hunter) felt right
>give them feedback
>play during beta 2
>none of the bugs i reported were fixed, report them again
>play during beta 3
>none of the bugs i reported were fixed
at risk of sounding like a turtle shill, the bugs ive reported and found there usually get fixed next week. no clue whats going on at epoch that kill command has been broken for 2 entire betas despite the issue being listed as "resolved"
also some of the epoch balance changes are confusing and concerning in equal measures. arms warriors get fucking bladestorm but demo locks lose felguard. ele shaman gets some completely pointless not!lava burst while some other classes go completely unchanged from their tbc incarnation. im still gonna give it a whirl but just from playing the beta i found that a lot of changes felt extremely amateurish and bizarre

>>712662569
It sure is odd that I see some format of this exact post whenever epoch is mentioned.

For people who tried the betas, how are feral druids and both DPS shaman specs

>>712662548
Or TWoW is just the most successful classic+ server and that's why people compare new server with TWoW

>>712662578
The new raid Uldum won't come out until next year but they seem to want to throw in a couple of new bosses in each Vanilla raid. Looks like Magmaw is in MC, though MC probably didn't need any more bosses.

>>712663095
It isn't and they don't. They just have an army of paid and unpaid shills, like yourself, to spread their shit all over this site.

>>712663095
Why do people forget that Warmane exists?
like it or hate it, its objectively the most successful private server EVER, even more than Nostalrius

Ascension is also bigger than Troondle

I hate the schizo autists that sperg about "shills" non-stop, but in turtle's case it really does feel like that. ITs a fucking cult, you literally cant have any private server discussion without people joining on and sperging >HURR DURR BUT TURTLE! The talk about it really feels so fucking forced

>>712660939
Weren't druid tanks just stupidly good thanks to their HP

>>712663532
It's more /v/ has a hate boner for Twow because they got banned for spamming nigger. the same will happen with Epoch.

>>712663707
Gear them properly and they will do more then 3k tps, nothing can take aggro from them. Not even bis geared hunters, warlocks, warriors or rogues

>>712663707
i remember bear druids hitting like 40k hp or some shit back in tbc and basically face tanking shears from illidan. it was terrifying

>>712663794
everyone hates twow for shitting up every wow thread. most have not even attempted their shitty server with bitcoin mining launcher.

>>712663794
that doesnt make sense, why would they be shilling for turtle non-stop if they were all banned, by your logic? and im not talking about /v/ at all, everywhere where people discuss private servers it instantly turns into >COME PLAY TURTLE right away

>>712663707
Both druid and paladin are amazing tanks in tbc. That anon is just making up shit to provoke replies.

>>712661227
>What people play turtle for is the class changes and crucially the moderation
why would anyone play that server just to get bullied and pushed around by the shitty GMs that abuse their power all the time?

>turtletrannies have arrived to spread FUD
lol like clockwork

Glad you slowbrains finally saw the pattern of turtle wow shilling in every thread.

>>712663532
Because who gives a shit about usual vanilla, tbc and wotlk when blizzard classic exists? People want classic+ and twow is the biggest classic+ server so far.

>>712661554

There is a ton of shit they did that i find it bad, like turtle levels of bad, one being teh retarded admin insisting on TBC balance on a Wrath Client where everyone hates it from the bottom of their soul outside TBC no life poopsockers with a hot glued pic of Legacy of CATASS Steel in their rooms

>>712665216
vanilla balancing sucked, warriors being the only viable tanks is retarded. druids and shaman being stuck as healbots is retarded.

>>712665496
SoD and Bronzebeard pulled the Wrath Philosophy and worked.
TGhe moment people gets to do raid in Epoch with the TBC philosophy everyone will hate the garbage balance and go back to druid and warrior spam to "optimize" and bitch later that is easy like the retards at Turdle did and fucked everyone with the new patch and kara being a broken shithole.

call me when Tauri releases Legion, shant be playing tranny private servers until then

looks pretty bad, pass

>>712666141
Legit think we will get official Legion Classic before Tauri finishes that shit.

>>712666274
yeah... i kinda have given up on it. it was supposed to release just around now...

>>712666274
Pandaslop is the last classic server. It was datamined that at the end of pandashit chink bugmen pandering clown tier garbage expansion your classic progress will be merged with retoilet account. All old fomoslop grinded in classic will appear at you retoilet account. And no classic+ news so far.

>>712667003
>least schizophrenic tranny

>>712667003
That is a fake Blizz survey screenshot lol. They wouldn't randomly stop the classic train on fucking MoP.

>>712667194
Which "train" are you talking about? Maybe legion classic is reasonable, but nobody will play fucking WoD, BFA or shadowlands.

>>712667003
can you post this again but without the buzzwords

>>712667715
>Which "train" are you talking about?
They have kept going through each old xpac when most thought they'd stop after wotlk
>but nobody will play fucking WoD, BFA or shadowlands.
Classic servers are always based on the final patch of each xpac. These xpacs are way less painful with all their QoL features and reduced grinds from their final patches.

>>712668329
It will only happen if MoP will not flop. And MoP will flop for sure, because you can't fix the main MoP issue. It's fucking lame. Parsetrannies will play MoP, but normies wouldn't. Raid mechanics are almost as hard as on retail. Expansion theme is shit. "New" class is lame and dogshit. It's still the least played class on retail, even evoker is more popular. The only way classic can live is classic+. You can't sell people trash tier expansions twice. It's something like remake Veilguard in 2035. Who are going to buy this crap now if it floped back then?

>>712654578
Nelf Rogue or Druid.

I usually play Priest or Warrior in vanilla but Assa Rogue and Feral Dudu felt incredibly good to play on the latest beta.

>>712669403
>Raid mechanics are almost as hard as on retail
lol that is just not true. old xpac raid mechanic complexity don't really reach modern retail levels until Legion. MoP IS hard enough to filter a lot of classicfags though.

>>712669671
>MoP IS hard enough to filter a lot of classicfags though
Yeah, it's very cool that some circle jerking elitists will be happy about that but your money will be filtered too. Cata already decimated classic population and MoP will make situation even worse. So classic+ is the only answer. Re-released goyslop will not bring blizzard as much money as vanilla classic and start of SoD did..

>>712654578
not sure. I play a priest on twow and sometimes I just wish I had made a mage. healing in classic fucking sucks and I dps 99% of the time anyways cause my guild has a bunch of heals, so I'm just a worse mage with my 675 mana holy nova, or going shadow and having zero aoe when 95% of a raid is trash packs
I'm bis already though (except for kara40) so not going through that again just to play an arcane mage that also has a 3 button rotation
that's within my guild's environment though, where sometimes we only have a couple mages in the raid. if I got on epoch and rolled a mage or any other DPS-only class, I bet they wouldn't have a spot for me and I'll wish I was able to role flex

>>712670156
I dont have any problems with MoP, the problem with MoP servers is that Blizzard never gave a fuck about making old dungeons and raids pre-Caata accessible again for tmog or for old recipes lost to time, something they decided to do recently.
on which a friend of mine got a Flawless Arcanite Rifle recipe

>>712671502
Mage or warlock is a safe pick. Normigroids will play paladin, warrior or hunter.

>>712671502
mages are usually super popular but i don't think they're any of the new class/race combos so it might be a little tempered compared to usual

>>712672081
Dwarfs can be mages, but I wouldn't image that would be a very popular choice

then new race combos are LITERALLY pointless, considering that all the racials will be shared...

>>712673919
It lets shaman and paladin be on both factions.

>>712673919

Nelf mages would be fine as long as they were locked at unfriendly with darnassus and had to do a special chain to get neutral. that would be soulful.
undead paladins will always be retarded though.

>>712675670
no the games do a pretty good job explaining that Forsaken have a will of their own, all the other undead in the game are either under the control of the Scourge or just mindless rampaging zombies.

>>712661426
As a terminal vanilla addict, I liked the -50% xp gain but the server still sucked because it had a fuckton of bugs.
Drain mana sucked 42% of max mana instead of 42 mana per second, blood craze regened 3x3% health instead of 3%, etc.
Got to level 40 and quit after they allowed opting out of the reduced XP gain.

>>712677590
The wrath version was busted, but it looks like epoch has something like the TBC version that was just okay.

wish some private server had balls to return "beta paladin" back, as real destroyer of undead

>>712683193
i'd be okay with it if they broke down each player race with its own weaknesses/strengths. like orcs having high resistance to fel magic, or offensive Holy magic having little effect on all Alliance races except nelves (because they worship the moon instead)

>>712662838
it was hyped almost as much as second coming of green jesus

>>712683309
>or offensive Holy magic having little effect on all Alliance races except nelves
come to think of it i guess that would extend to Gnomes who are probably agnostic/atheist and some Dwarves as they worship Elements instead. maybe Dwarf Shaman would be vulnerable? Gnome Priests would also probably not have this issue.

Am I retarded or something, isn't there a quest where you kill a literal undead paladin in duskwood? Why shouldn't player characters get to be an undead paladin?

>>712684332
yeah there's an example of an undead paladin. i can imagine there were plans for it early on until they decided that paladins/shaman would be faction restricted, and then the restriction was lifted but on strict racial grounds. and then by the time blizz started relaxing these restrictions they just didn't give a shit anymore because it was full on "fleece the players, make everything gay and retarded" zombie blizzard running the show.

>>712648316
Every attempt to turn back the clock on WoW reminds me of this LRR skit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6JgKQFeBxs

Give me WoW without weekly raids and dailys, I don't need a fucking second job.

Will there be a hardcore version? Hardcore classic is unironically the most fun I've had in years, especially when someone fucks up in a dungeon getting themselves killed and then has an absolute nuclear autism meltdown.

>>712684886
yeah there's player challenges. 50% less xp and hardcore.

>>712684880
So go play retail? The current and previous xpac removed the stupid daily/weekly chores to keep up in player power.

>>712662019
nigga, you can enable wpvp on both turtle and epoch

I'd like custom versions of WoW to reach a point where entire zones are just capable of being redone. Have a totally unplagued Lordaeron. Have the orcs set up a city in Un'goro. Get fucking weird with it. Reach Warcraft III level of level editing.

>>712684332
