World of Warcraft Classic - Official Blizzard™ Servers

[jinda628]

I'm far from the best in PVP but man i've met some really bad players who insist on attacking other's and seem to love getting pwnd.
I mean, i guess if they never played and came from fortenite or something like that....

There are lots of new players who joined in due to the hype. I encountered mostly casters ganking me when I'm about less than half my life while killing mobs. I think they joined classic after hearing about the casters being OP in classic. But everytime I resurrect and come back, they don't know chit about their class. Either I 1 shot ambush them or they dont have damage at all.

I've always been a rogue and I hate pvping a rogue. One time I'm eating and when I'm about 75% health, a lvl 43 rogue opened on me. I was 41 that time so I thought I'm dead. He used all his combos/CDs and I'm still above 50% and then he popped up Prep so he got another fresh sets of CD. I could have blinded him between stuns but I let him reset. He finished his CDs again and I still have 500 hp lol. Blinded him, stealth without healing, ambushed him and he's dead after a backstab and some autoattacks. Didn't even get to use kidney shot but I'm down to about 50 hp lol.

I wonder what level gears he got at 43 and if he ever upgrade his skills. There will be a lot of ganking when honor system starts. Will be lots of fun.

Thats because caster leveling specs aren't good for PVP. The duel tourneys at level 30/40 showed when casters specced for PVP they absolutely demolish melee.

Finally hit 40 on my mage. Still like 40g short of my mount. Ice barrier is a Godsend, not getting interrupted while casting is awesome.

Casting interrupts/delay is like the most annoying thing about classic

btw did anyone catch that trash Shadowlands expac trailer? Bolvar gets Yeeted by Sylvanas. Just lol.

[ohiostate124]

Wish I could actually wear plate as a DPS Warrior. Feel like I should have been a rogue.

[Beararms]

Finally got my mount at lvl41. I ran circuits around swamps of sorrow and collected blindweed. Its in demand and was selling for around 9g a stack so I farmed about 5 stacks of it and had mount money with some extra left over.

yeah was very mehh. Also at the end reality being reflected upside down...I was thinking oh we Stranger Things now huh.

If they really want to get some excitement, they should do something with all of Azeroth being "upside down" or something massive like that, not another 5-zone expansion with a race through 5-levels thats over in a week and old and tired dungeons and raids.

[Titansfan08]

Am I the only one who really has no clue what is going on in the story? I've played since day one but never read a quest or really ever watch those clips.

Also got 42 on my rogue over the weekend and got my mount plus the 2 swords from doing SM/RFD, feelsgoodman reking chit now.

They are squishing max lvl back to 60 and also bringing back some pruned abilities. Like some weird classic+retail hybrid.

[Soonerjohn]

Finally got band of accuria and am finished with everything I need on my bear tank until pvp and bwl.

So now I have to try and level my alt in the next week. Don't think I can make it.

[nn586]

level 36 on my undead mage rn and mage / lock/ priest eye of killrog runs in SM is the greatest thing ever. 40k xp/hr


SM cath is soon in my future, hnnnngg

[ohiostate124]

Both dal rends swords dropped in the same run. Won the oh but lost the mh by 1. Damn. Have dragons call in the mh though to hold me off until it hopefully drops again.

I think the lore jumped the shark years ago, even as far back as TBC with the ridiculous Naaru. Sylvanas is just gonna be OP I guess.

Sounds like even the retail fukboys are ready to eat crow

I recommend learning about the lore behind the dungeons, it's pretty interesting. The story in Vanilla is less clear but basically picks up from multiple WC3 plotlines while adding multiple unrelated plotlines. Basically:

-Eastern Kingdoms are recovering from the scourge invasion
-Kalimdor is recovering from the war with the Burning Legion
-Orgrimmar fully established by Thrall. Undercity established by the newly freed Forsaken.
-Arthas is presumably in Northrend assembling his armies
-The dark iron dwarves are devising a way to bring Ragnaros into Azeroth
-Onyxia is actually involved with an attempt to take control of Stormwind
-Blackrock orcs are allied with Nefarian (I think)
-The imprisoned Old Gods are trying to break free, and C'Thun is the first to do it in Ahn Qiraj
-Kel'Thuzad attempts to pave the way for another Scourge Invasion with Naxxramas

And that's just a fraction of what's going on.

after 15 years of WoW, I just saw a youtube movement keybinding video...

i have q e a s d as movement keys, i am not a keyboard turner though, i turn with the mouse and always have been.


ugh i dont know what to do, they said to unbind q and e and move with the mouse so you can keep q and e for different keybindings

i tried it out and its something that is going to take a looong time to get used to and just doesnt feel right to me after playing for so long with the default movement keys. i get why people do it after trying it though, however it feels incredibly unnatural to me

i still have played wow this entire time using everything keybinded with what makes me feel comfortable and its been fine, i have mostly pvped and done great. its why I play wow

so im not sure if i should make the transition, in which i will constantly misplay getting used to it, or continue to play how ive been playing that feels comfortable most but sacrifice a couple keybindings

has anyone ever ran across the same situation im in? i think the unbinding would probably be a better system but im not sure if i could ever get used to it after playing the way i have played for so many years



edit: think im gonna get rid of A and D (used to turn which i barely ever do) then instead of Q and E because im so used to strafing with Q and E. that will be much easier to get used to that way instead of unbinding the strafe keys ive always used.

after doing that this is much better. i have realized im so used to Q and E and never really used A and D instead of in town or some chit.

no reason to keep the turn keys bound, i use ESDF, SF are strafe, not sure why people are stuck on the WASD boomer binds

If I switched to something like that I'd have to have it as E for forward and W and R to strafe. I have always used the top buttons like QWE buttons + mouse for movement. Might give it a try so I can utilize more buttons

I don't use turn keys even before the vanilla since I've been playing some Asian MMOs in the past before vanilla's launch.

I use my A and D only for strafing. Q and E for me is macrod for MH weapon switching between a dagger and other main (sword or mace).
So only movement on my keyboard is bound on ASD & Space, A&D for strafe, S for moving back and space for the Jumping as in the default keybind.

I think it depends on the class. I play a rogue most time so it's positional.

Is there any advantage in moving to ESDF vs WASD? I think by hand position, WASD is better since its on the leftmost. But I guess it depends on whats comfortable to you.

I use WASD since I'm used to it and most mech keyboard comes with a unique WASD keys extra in the box. My WASD texture is rougher than the other keys so I can feel if I'm on the wrong key.

You should be able to run by holding both mouse buttons, and bind auto-run to something.

If you have an MMO mouse you've got an insane amount of keybind possibilities, but I could see why binding Q W E to spells would be super helpful in pvp.

It's more natural to keep your hand at ESDF since you're doing it when typing anyway. It gives you 3 extra keybinds you can hit with pinky, AQZ, can also reach more number buttons up top. I'm not sure what the advantages of WASD is besides being used to it, or unless you can't reach shift button with your pinky for some reason.

I guess it could be better if I get used to it but I can't imagine changing. I can only see myself having my fingers in the wrong place if I try it lol.
Been using WASD since the early CS:Half Life in 2000.

The true struggle.

Good luck dude. Are you on Herod horde? If so, send me a whisper if you get the second binding, I'll toss you a bar.

Kromkrush Horde. Going to have to whore myself out, fish in Azshara forever, or level a mage up to farm.

What sort of loot drama did you get into?
