your thoughts about pandaland?

I hated 13 years ago and I hate it now.

Slowly realizing that this shit is just retail with less QoL that is glazed mostly by PvP robots and people that think having 10 extra bloat abilities is a good thing
Although I admit Pandaria probably has the prettiest zones out of all expansions

already got my Pandaria fill in Mop Remix, dont feel the need to go at it again

Pointless until Timeless Isle and by then won't have the population to make it worthwhile.
Won't give Blizzard money until they stop censoring chat, so never.
People pretending to be women for sexual activities online need to be treated as criminal sex offenders.

>>716200791 (OP)
i see no reason to play this over retail.

>>716200791 (OP)
I can't believe people get hyped to replay old content like this.

why?

>>716200791 (OP)
Overrated gameplay, Cataclysm made most of the modernization changes it piggybacked off of MoP just made them more casual. The continent had interesting lore when it came to anything that wasn't those shit-ass pandas.

>>716200791 (OP)
Didn't played kung fu panda expansion.

>>716200791 (OP)
Still don't understand why they did a kung fu panda expansion

I've wasted the last 13 years of my life.

Pandaland itself is kino, some of the best zones Blizz ever designed. Solid raids and class design. Doesn't have the magic of vanilla, but it's good in its own right and easily on par with TBC and Wrath.

>>716200791 (OP)
although its design and content was ashit
it had some of the most fun pvp class gameplay wow had because of the ability to micromanage a bunch of smol effects over a fight for big wins

>>716200791 (OP)

Complete outsider to WoW here but what's the point of Classic Wow if it's just going to become "delayed retail"? I figure they would've just stopped it at WoTLK since that's what most people consider "classic WoW".

>>716200791 (OP)
it was rather meh but better than what we had after that
throne of thunder was fun and I had fun questing and pvp on that troll island

>>716200791 (OP)
not a fan of kung fu panda or china

>>716200791 (OP)
It's a good expansion but it's not Classic. I played that shit on a 1440p/144hz gsync monitor in 2014, that feels modern to me.

>>716208193
The point was to let people experience/reexperience the game at its mythical original state, but WoW players being WoW players they don't know how to play without expecting there to always eventually be more WoW, and so they waved bills in Blizz's face to keep it coming

>>716200791 (OP)
How many expansions do we have to get to before someone realizes we've gone past "classic" if classic can now go 4 expansions deep?

>>716208193
Every expansion of WoW invalidates the last expansion. If you want to "actually" experience a raid in WoW you have to do it while it's current content because otherwise you will outlevel the content and trivialize it. Private servers and classic servers enable you to experience the content as "current content" with the level cap and balance intact. These servers are for people who missed out the first time or who are nostalgic for these old raids basically.

Most of my memories from its original run are good
My Pandaren Monk went on to become my main
And it had Cata to contrast with. Pandaria was a lovely place for an expansion.

But that said I won't be replaying it with Classic, my attitude to that version in general is 'I already did all that'

>>716200791 (OP)
Dungeon/Raid content ranged from okay to pretty good. This expansion completely fucking murdered several PvP brackets though due to the retarded high item level leveling gear introduced.

>>716200791 (OP)
Creepy uncanny furshit

If you slop eating goycattle would stop playing this dogshit we might actually get a new Warcraft game. But instead you mentally ill retards are content doing dailies for 20 fucking years

>>716210269
>implying nu bliz can even make a new game worth playing

>>716208371
at this point it should be obvious that Blizzard doesn't think that "classic" refers to a specific time period of the game, but just uses it as a tagline for any rerelease of a past version of the game. if you can accept that it will be a lot less painful when we get to WoD and Legion classic.

>>716208335
It came out 13 years ago lol. vanilla was 15 years old when classic released in 2019. What it "feels" like to you is irrelevant, time marches on regardless of your feefees

>they actually kept going
next up: WoD! what a great time to watch WoW go to shit and disney-fy itself a second time

>>716200791 (OP)
only pvpers want to play Pandaria.

I don't know, I loved MoP but I feel it kind of ruins the entire fun and magic of an MMORPG playing an old expansion in which you know about everything and everything that will happen.

>zoomies having nostalgia for mop
grim.

>classic fags are refusing every single Xpac.... again.
Lol? Classic is easily the biggest money maker for bliz. They literally are making money again on work they already did.

>>716212903
They should skip WoD. Go straight to Legion and add the fixes from later patches.
So you know, legendaries aren't completely RNG.

>>716213235
>*rebuying*
I hate phone posting.

as much as my morbid curiosity is hampering me to try this expansion that many have been gushing about for years, i am not leveling another character from 1 to max again

>>716200979
>10 extra bloat abilities is a good thing
It's a great thing because it separates dogshit players from good players, besides providing entertaining gameplay. If i could reach through this screen i'd smack you across the face for regurgitating garbage you yourself don't fully agree with. Arms spec among others was fucking terrible in WoD after MoP because idiots like to larp as game devs and bitch about a game having depth and complexity.

The game was at it's worst best in Wrath because each spec had more than a few spells and abilities to use, instead of being a kindergarten trolly with geometric holes for retarded children to shove plastic shapes through. The game went progressively faster towards the shithouse with each new expac after ditching many abilities design philosophy that offered more ways of solving gameplay and many niches for emergent strategies and gameplay.

This was the fucking gameplay for arms warriors in WoD, you lavatory brained fucking cockroach.

>>716213537
WoD's ability culling killed PVP and every class, their remedy to this was artifact weapons in legion

>>716213235
the only reason classic is still afloat because trannies are subbed and buy mtx on retoilet. I can still remember how they pushed WoW to be an esport just to fail miserably, because no one gives a fuck about mythic raiding or pvp. If you still play the game you are functioning on sunk cost fallacy
This is the poopsock's and tigole's legacy as history repeats itself, just like it did during Cataclysm. The said sweats are pushing 40 and/or trooning out, while classic is a bot infested graveyard, as most of the bots are funded by blizzard itself (hence no bands) to keep the image of having an in game economy, and a game afloat.

>>716213537
this is largely why i preferred demonology lock despite its alleged lower performance compared to affli and destro in mop
more abilities to manage, more utility

>>716200791 (OP)
playing it from time to time on private server, not giving Blizzard money
cape quest parts on a small server however are difficult, not enough people to do early tier tier raids, mandatory 2 BG win part is aids with all the sweats being too dumb to realize why people even join it, gaslighting themselves into believing there is legitimate interest in pvp

>>716213264
You know they wont do that.

>>716214515
unless they make several huge changes to WoD, it is going to be a complete content draught

>>716213537
you still play modern wow. you still pay blizzard money. you played every single "classic" expansion. you will play shadowlands "classic" as well. kill yourself retard and every single blizzdrone itt should follow

>>716200791 (OP)
Can't wait until they get to Shadownlads Classic
See how many people are nostalgic about doing their maw dailies and weekly torghast

>>716200791 (OP)
I love it because it's got what got me to drop that trash game.

>>716214767
>nostalgic about doing their maw dailies and weekly torghast
absolute cinema

>>716214767
they should really just stop at legion "classic", but they won't.

>>716200791 (OP)
I do wonder if that's the last "classic" expansion, WoD is terrible and everything past WoD is complete fucking shit.

>>716200791 (OP)
I could understand wanting to replay/first experience Classic and even BC but this is getting retarded.

god i miss lili

arent they already cycling through classic xpacs a second time around now
also i bet the pop isn't going to do so well with so many of their players branching out to other games, runescape as an example
that and mop being an already weak xpac that had seen a steep drop back in its retail days

>>716213537
PvP player wellness check
>kindergarten trolly with geometric holes for retarded children to shove plastic shapes through
Yes, this has been WoW since vanilla
You... you did not actually think you are good at videogames just because you did well in random bgs, right?

>>716215126
>arent they already cycling through classic xpacs a second time around now
not yet, just classic by itself

They took so long to even consider Classic+ that they have been mogged by 2 private servers.

>bloated retail but with less qol is good because....... i was le 12 years old when mop released

>>716210269
Horseshit, if they stopped plating Blizzard would just say 'I guess they don't like Warcraft then, no more for that franchise'

>>716202073

>classic was 6 years ago
god damn time flies. To think were were all so hopeful for blizzard comeback

>>716213537

lmao
there was no depth or complexity to just being overpowered

I'm so glad I didn't fall for the classic meme. Its like a chinese counterfeit of the original.

I'm actually having a lot of fun

should be, but probably wont. and we all know it becomes completely different game from wod on

>>716220008
the face you need to pay to experience this is the worst part. Its private server tier but with a paywall.

Why is the classic general talkint about a retail expansion

you can never go back

Worse actually, the coding was worse than Nostalrius. Even Turtle has trees and shit blocking line of sight

>>716214938
>they should really just stop at legion "classic", but they won't.
They should have stopped at classic. Don't act like any other expansion was better than Shadowlands. They're literally all designed the exact same way.

>>716220369
I remember seeing the chat only used for selling boosts and gold. I knew it immediately its over and uninstalled. This kind of game which can create an avalanche so big even mainstream consciousness gets sucked in, cannot be replicated anymore. Its just too many things going against its very core philosophy: its for the nerds to have fun, be immersed in the world and make connections.
Even in the design philosophy its so noticeable how Elwynn forest has an entirely different thought put behind than any modern WoW forest. Elwynn remains timeless, every other forest-y are after that? Who gives a fuck I can't even name them, because they're irrelevant, manufactured for a walmart checklist. If you have a wiki open on your second monitor its over.

Didn't play OG MoP but I'm genuinely liking it. The gameplay is fluid, the zones are cool, and you can freely move around hubs if you start to dislike a zone.
The dungeons are meh, a shame we're stuck with them even with the extra heroic++++ modes.
Haven't tried the raids yet.
It's worth the 13 bucks for a "solo" game. Don't know if I'll keep playing once I hit the timegated stuff.

>>716221652

That's not really a reason though. What do you not like specifically in this "chinaslop"?

>>716200791 (OP)
the best part about this is seeing wow grifter streamers struggling to pretend they like classic for its meaningful gameplay differences compared to retail. Lmao, they even have prototype mythic plus dungeons in this release.
