World of Warcraft Classic - Official Blizzard™ Servers

[Purfected]

Anyone ever force a name change on classic? I’m thinking about trying it out.

The whole delete your character, have someone take your name, and then get your character restored thing.

Seems pretty risky but I just picked something when I server transferred and I’m starting to hate it.

whats the name lol

[ohiostate124]

whats the name lol

It’s nothing fancy. Named it after the character Henryk from Bloodborne because my old name was taken and I’m starting to hate it.

I want to like it. But objectively it's just not good. Well ... It would be if it had taken some of the better systems of retail without ruining classic. Like better UI and quests. But keep long leveling, gear progression, and social aspects.

But basically you can never go back.

the UI is the same as retail lol

idk I had a blast. Just didn't have time for it anymore.

Retail imo feels very chincey and devoid of accomplishment outside of high level pvp/raiding.

Randomly decided to try WoW Classic today. Already regret buying a month subscription.

Forgot how insanely grindy classic was.

brb - kill 82 enemies to get 1 drop of 10 needed for a quest
brb - took me what feels like 37 hours to get to level 10

Also, I forgot how insanely weak and squishy priests were in classic. In regular WoW you could frickin facetank 3-4 mobs at a time with ease and basically never run out of mana. Classic...just trying to take on 2 = run out of mana in 2 seconds.
Yeah...I can't do this. lol
Makes me realize how nice the improvements actually are that Blizzard made to the game over all the years compared to this.

[Kormo]

should i be abandoning question to do new ones? Can i do the abandoned quest again?

[ryankoch]

yes, you can pick up the quests again whenever you want

Get a wand at level what is it 6 and just dot then wand / renew. Plus get that move that regenerates mana after you kill something

2/8 t2 and 3/8 t1 warrior checking in

feels good mane

After 3 days, I give up. Normal WoW is so much netter in so many ways.

Even just keeping a couple of the quality of life features from regular WoW would have been a great thing IMO.

Like...not having a dungeon finder is absolutely insane to me. Just spamming chat for an hour trying to find a group for a dungeon when the dungeon finder does it in 10 seconds and you're in the instance...no thanks. Money wasted but at least I now know I have zero desire to play classic WoW.

you could just not face tank 3 mobs as a low level priest lol. but thats fine, obv the wow classic experience isnt for everyone and i could see it being a pain in the ass for people who dont know how to do it.

i played wow in 2005-2008 so none of this level grind was "new" to me.

as per the dungeons, youre a priest man... youll find instant groups for everything. level 25-50 as a priest will take like 2 days since you just aoe grind SM-ZF with mages/locks, then 50-60 youll do the same thing in BRD.


i can only imagine how fast you would havge quit if you had been leveling a warrior instead lol.

I played it literally when it released, like, 16 years ago. I'm old brah. Played probably thousands of hours in WoW and BC...
I just forgot how bad it was I guess compared to regular WoW.

[Briisk]

Gong to make a 20s or 30s twink, will place in him in one of the first contested zone and wreck levelers

[Purfected]

got my gnome mage to 36 tonight

AoE grind leveling

My hunter is MC geared with a few ZG pieces.

Warlock is BWL geared with nearly all relevant ZG pieces.

Game is still tons of fun, I just started a rogue, never played one before.

I think it's pretty much the community and lack of hand holding that makes this game great.

Yeah, but attrition is hitting everyone hard currently.

Still raid logging though. Fully BiS geared for a while now, so no real incentive.

[Steve707]

People are getting bored. We've had a high turnover rate for healers.

[Steve707]

Not surprised. Priest only needs to push like 3 or 4 buttons to play their class. Pally is equally as boring.

Just sucks to gear someone out and then they quit. I think we've lost 4 or 5 holy pallies. We've recruited some fresh ones but gearing them out and mentoring them takes time.

Have you given up on your Horde characters? You seem Alliance heavy now (not hating, just curious).

[Soonerjohn]

What do you mean by attrition in this context

Guilds are losing raiders.

Even top guilds are facing this problem. Heck, maybe it is more problematic for them.

We lost four of our best raiders. Even fed a mage a bunch of T2 gear and he quit soon after.

Blizz needs to make an announcement on AQ soon.

[Critter5592]

I reactivated due to a lot of free time atm. I am playing Horde on Sulfuras, 55 mage (Supercilious), and started a hunter (Dobiant)


add me.

[Purfected]

once I hit 42 on my mage I started doing the ZF graveyard farm. 3 runs gained me an entire level. was gaining 1 level per hour in there

currently level 52, staying in here until 54

[IronBrahh]

TBC classic when?

[exxtracool]

TBC classic when?

probably sometime next year.

I don’t even think AQ is out yet..

[stevesteve12]

leveling on Sulfuras horde ATM.

any brah can hook up a raid spot for a warrior?
