Bless Ascension for trying to stop this ship from sinking but Epoch was already on stage 4 of terminal cancer when the Epoch team revealed they had no fucking clue how to launch the server.

The warsong gulches were fun though in the first month, but when I log in now there's literally nobody doing BGs

>>722322965
amusingly, the best thing to come out of epic was turtle opening another server
>>
To be fair even if it was made by 4 br*tish zoomers. The concept of Classic in Wraths engine with TBC talents is good. Of course the project failed though, the devs were retarded people in their 20s.

Once again Dutch consumed another project. They already started adding Epoch additions to Ascension leading up to Bronzebeard. They've been server muting anyone that brings it up. It makes me wonder if people are just retarded and don't see that Dutch, Warmane & Shenna has set the private server community back almost a decade.

Just let it go.
It's time to play other games.

HC server?

Nah wow is still the best. They can make better games already.

The mods I've come across in ascension have all been professional, but the few times I've seen dutch talk to the community he spouted BBC memes and acted like a shithead in general
>>
what happened now? I played for 2 weeks then quit
>>
>>722322965
This is why you gatekeep things you like instead of shilling them 24/7
>>
>>722326872
The original dev team for Project Epoch quit a few weeks ago. All of them. They got scared over a legal threat from Blizzard and left.

Ascension now has complete control of Epoch and claims they'll keep on adding and developing it, but for now Epoch's mostly in maintenance mode and has been hemorrhaging players (sub-1000 and dropping fast). It's clear that while Ascension has the resources to keep the server online, they really didn't expect the actual Epoch team to entirely just quit, and now they're stuck with a server they have no real passion to develop.

Meanwhile Turtle and Bronzebeard (Ascension's developed vanilla+ server) are where all of the hype is.
>>
Anyone looking forward to Bronzebeard?

been out the loop for a while, why are there still 100 new private wow classic revivals every year? i thought blizzard made an official one that was a massive success?
>>
>>722328428
Not really but I am still going to try it anyways because I am unemployed and bored.
>>
>>722328549
That doesn't magically give thirdies money to sub to the real game, so they have to keep doing poorfag shit

Oh, yeah that happened.
What a joke lol

Got to 50 on the ptr last week and everything is pretty good quality. Pservers have come a long way. 20 minutes boys

I want to play the new classes Ascension has
>>
Some of the new stuff in Epoch was cool, but on the whole the garbage outweighted the good stuff imo
>>
>>722331373
I was super bored one day and bought access to their new class server.

They’re kinda fun. A lot of it is just existing spells mashed together to create something “new”

A lot of them are scuffed and feel bad to play like turret tinker
>>
>>722331808
I did the open beta and tried a bunch. It all seemed neat for making it to about level 30 on a few that looked fun. A lot seemed OP/broken but it was better than the same basic ones. It looks like they took a bunch of archetypes people liked from their base game and made them into classes which was neat.

I thought turtle was hit the CnD from blizzard?
>>
>>722322965
Laugh at what could've been a great server. The alternatives are so bad I rather play something else.
>>
>>722331808
Every healer is fucking frustrating though
Moon Priest is disc but bad plus builder-spender but bad
Sun Paladin thing was annoying melee hybrid shit, same with Earthcaller
And GOD DAMN if Venomancer wasn't the most autistic unfun shit I've ever seen
>>
>>722334335
I played the venomancer healer. It was like a cracked out resto druid fueled by meth and poison. There were so many stupid hot interactions for healing. I feel most classes could be improved by removing 4 abilities.
>>
>>722334580
>removing
In most cases I'd actually say 'adding' instead
>>
>>722331808
>>722332056
Back when I played Conquest it was still very awkward. Like the Runemaster class lost 90% of it's DPS the moment you picked the melee spec, making you unable to kill any mob in the starting zone and essentially forcing you to start a new character. Or the Starcaller, where one specc tried to be tank melee and ranged at once while the third one was the leftovers of a scrapped hydromancer class awkwardly bolted on.
It really seemed like the dev was just throwing cool new ideas around without much game design, I hope they've caught up on that by now.

I preferred the classless system, but that's been kinda ruined over time too. I've played this shit before it was even called Ascenscion and seen the forced full-loot PVP, fishing exploit and developed the support-only builds for high end raids(are those even still a thing?)
The more interesting experimental elements you see on WotlK alpha rarely make it over to the live game and instead get transformed into a simple combination of two classes.
>>
>>722334625
>adding
Really? I felt most of the problems were having too many things to press all the time. Especially with builder/spender combos. Could be I just didnt get the prio order right tho.
>>
>>722333514
There was a lot of people that quit TWoW for Epoch but are slowly coming back. A couple of my guildies were really obnoxious epoch dickriders.
>>
>>722333905
It's hosted and ran by Russians and chinks, wtf is Blizzard going to do?
>>
>>722334868
Yeah, again speaking just for the healers I tried
Moon Priestess did have too many buttons for my liking, but the others I listed felt like they had too few spells to press
For the record, I didn't play any DPS spec past 20, so I can't speak as to their amount of buttons
>>
>>722335083
Maybe streamlined is better. AAA studios cannot into game/class balance so I dont really expect anyone else to be able to really do it either. I didnt try the moonhealer. I did a lot of the tanking on it and it was just make mana so you could AoE spam. Did stupid amounts of damage.
>>
>>722335083
I played starcaller to 50 when that was the cap and demon knight to 40 something. My issue with those was that you had pretty distinct single target and aoe abilities, which effectively double your number of abilities. Like a WotlK ret pally always uses Divine Storm in their rotation so even when you switch to AoE things are largely familiar, but here I had to keep two largely unrelated play styles in my head.
Every part of the classes had this problem that you had these distinct tool kits or lines of talents that weren't integrated with the rest of the class, and at least they hybrid classes had to many of those so there was no focus large parts of the kit were just ignored by players.
>>
>>722328250
Dutch purchased it in the hopes he would get the Turtle killer.
Tbh i don't see longterm support for the server with it's sharp population decline. Even if it had 5-10k players i was worried without it being heavily monetized it wouldn't get much love.

>>722338124

Some shitty private server that was the latest "hyped" server to launch, advertised a bunch of cheap draw gimmicks like Undead Paladins, a whole bunch of new quest lines and a few others that slip me. The launch was very turbulent and after not too long the devs received a C&D from Blizz which they could have just told them to eat a dick but they cucked instead, and now the server is on life support.
