World of Warcraft Classic

[Sillius_Maximus]

Any of you guys playing?  Its everything i remember and more...

 

If your inclined, I can be found on Bloodsail Buccanears(North America, RP realm).  Alliance side - name is Calgar.  I am recruiting for the <holy Inquisition>

 

Gonna do some lite crossover role-playing. Have some fun ideas in mind.

 

---- end shameless plug--

 

to be honest, I dont remember it being quite this difficult.  I knew it was gonna be very different from retail wow, but seesh..  

the biggest difference is simply that 90% of the players are all in the same level range, so that makes questing harder when everyone is trying to kill a certain type of mob.

I'm playing classic on BB, too. Maybe I'll hunt you down sometime.

Are there any working nude patches for classic? It's a mod I had back in the day, but I'm having a hard time finding a working one now.

[Swiftstep]

Say, is the automatic group finder in the game? I know, it wasn't in vanilla (did it came with TBC or WOTLK?), but it is such a useful tool.

On the other hand, let's hail to the good old times:

 

LFG UBRS / LBRS / BRD / Scholo / Strat Baron!

 

... ah... I miss that.. even tried that in other games but people forgot it so fast... anyhow, have fun!

There used to be some, up to wotlk it worked quite well, but i haven't managed to make then work since cataclysm and blizzard apparently was even banning for those mods. There used to be a site called darknest that had those nude mods, don't know if it's still working

I was a PvP maniac in classic WoW... Those were the days, haha.

I think Azerothica's patch works for classic as it says so in the title of the post on Darknest Fantasy.

I'm on BB as well but on Horde side. Paddfoot is the name. There are ton of addons for classic, just use twitch and make sure its set to the classic and not the retail version. I tried to get the nude patch to work but not sure if I installed wrong or what but it was a bust.

That was introduced in WotLK. Just dungeon finder, not raid finder (which came in Cataclysm, both a massive mistake).

 

I really, really want to play Classic WoW again. But given all the shenanigans that Activision Blizzard has been up to I just can't bring myself to install any of their games or give them a penny. And I remember all too well how 3l33t1$t people get in any MMO. And the immature ones, the lazy ones who would sooner p2w than learn their roles, etc. If this was TBC or Wrath, with proof the server would never advance into later xpacs, I'd be willing to overlook everything, though. I miss playing a draenei shaman (elemental combat) so much! But I've also seen how they nerfed and then removed totems and weapon imbues after Cata. And I just hated Cata so much I quit playing partway through.

Yes, many a people were having the same opinion. I beg to differ. I dare say that the game became to easy, since casuals had no chance on getting blue. Epic for a casual? Impossible.

Therefore I am quite sure that in a classic / vanilla dungeon you / one wouldn't dare to mock the tank by throwing AoE aggro bombs at mob groups just because you / one is the uber wizzard H4rry_P0tt3r.

 

LFG-Tool: useful

Hard dungeons: necessity

Randoms behaving like dungbeetles: impossible when looking for a working teamplay.

 

Think back to classic dungeons.. I can't remember a simple one. Not even stockades in Stormwind, or the Chasm in Orgrimmar. I remember the horor of randoms in Maraudon.. it all starts easy with lvl 37 mobs or something the like.. but once you'll get to the slimes, people start dying like flies.

Besides all that, what about the mount for Tauren? Do they still got the .. damn.. kodo.. no.. the big lizzards.. cause at the beginning they didn't have a mount, they had the planestrider perk, or something like that.

Group finder for dungeons was fine. But for raids? That's the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I gave my cousin my account and she confirmed my worst fears about what raid finder would turn into. Raids used to be something you had to be good to get into and where you had to mind your manners! If what I hear is even half-true, "respect" is a word in no one's vocabulary in WoW anymore.

[PantsRats]

I've been enjoying Classic quite a bit, despite losing some of the conveniences of more modern versions of the game. The lack of dungeon finder really builds that sense of community, where you have to ask around the zone you're in, or the nearest city, for a group to dungeon with.

I'm having a blast!

Horde:
Tauren are limited to Wolves and Kodos, which means that they cannot ride Raptors and Undead Horses.

 

From WoWhead.

I remember the absolute stink that players raised about the limited mount choices for tauren, despite the logic. Can a skeletal warhorse realistically support a tauren? A raptor? What about the chocobos that belfs get? It was a sign when Blizz caved in and let them ride whatever they wanted. Somehow I doubt that Activision went back to the original rules out of any desire to be "lore friendly." More likely it was just the path of least resistance (and cost).

Except vanilla isn't really true vanilla they nerfed some the dungeons and raids already, according to patch note comparison Kungen made from one those really old elite raiding guilds, so dungeon and raiding experience in Vanilla now wont be as difficult as it were originally.
