Why is WoW classic the only MMO that actually feels like a MMO?
Is it too late for me to get into World of Warcraft?
Because you're old enough to remember WoW during its original launch timeframe but still too young to have played the exponentially better games that came before it.
>>737708254No, experiencing classic will always be great
>>737708143>born too late to experience the actual fuckery of Ultima Online and everquest at their peak
classic WoW is badly designed and clearly unfinished but you pretend to like it because it's your first MMO and desperately want to appear sophisticated in front of strangers on /v/
>>737708254Too late to play turtlewow, so yeah
>>737708472>badly designedLack of balance works in its favor. You are just a sad min-maxer that fails to see the magic in the game.>unfinishedKinda. I wish caves weren't just copy pasted across the world
>>737708254no you can play vanilla right now, stop being a defeatist.
>>737708671yeah bro, I see magic when half my talent trees are fucking useless and filled with counter-intuitive abilities and need to spend 5 levels to increase my crit chance by 5%.
>>737708254On a private server, no.Giving money to blizzard is shameful behavior and you should avoid doing it for any reason.
>>737708143>Why is WoW classic the only MMO that actually feels like a MMO?Live wow is a single player queue fest built around pet/mount collection.Other MMOs are just chasing after old WoW's success.Classic is a game built around character progression and multiplayer interaction with thousands of people per server, with classes designed around having specific roles in PvP and PvE along with a strong identity to go with each of them.
>>737709574>classes designed around being useless unless you are a specific build of warrior, mage, hunter, rogue or priestfixed
>>737709131Who cares? I just wanna do comfy quests in Feralas
>>737709967>you HAVE to use the meta spec for our MC run or I WILL kick you from the guildmad cuz bad
>>737708143>all the armor looks like it's covered in shit>combat is boring>quests are boring>but you walk for 30 minutes to get anywhere>you just stop seeing people like around 25+ because everyone gets burnt out by thenWoWbabies literally meet the tiniest amount of pushback and onions face
>>737708143>t. WoW player who would never ever play a different MMO
>>737708143It was made early enough that the influence from older mmos was still there.
>>737710318>he thinks warrior being the best tank, priest the best healer and frost mage the best dps is metafagottry instead of factslol>>737710193you can eat shit irl and it won't cost you anything
>>737711262actually warrior is the best dpsand paladin/shaman healers both occupy important niches so you need a bunch of them
>>737711409only if his gear is blue or greater with at least 50+ bonus weapon skillotherwise *miss**glance**glance**finally got enough rage oh well it missed*
>>737711651>with at least 50+ bonus weapon skillnigger what the fuck are you talking about? that's not even remotely possible shut the fuck up retard
>>737711262Yeah, that's why every 40 man is comprised of a couple warriors, 8 priests, and 30 mages, right?
>>737708143sex with troll women
>>737711724>>737711771>NO! STOP IT! THE PERFECT MEMORY OF MY TEENAGE YEARS IS SHATTERED!lol why are vanillafags like this?
>>737711409>actually warrior is the best dpsit's funny how this only got realized years later. during vanilla there was no such thing as 12 fury warriors in a raid
>>737712650>IT'S JUST NOSTALGIA!And it's come full circle.Live wow lost.Classic won.
>>737712650>my teenage yearsBut we're talking about the meta that developed during classic, not during the original run. Why the fuck are you trying to discuss a game that you obviously don't have much experience with?
>>737712650the re-release of classic wow (instead of playing it in tranny servers with tons of qols) just reminded everyone why people wanted TBC to be released.get this: players considered TBC an improvement over vanilla in terms of gameplay, and it was still shit
>>737712803I played vanilla day 1I replayed it in HCi know my shit better than you, nigger. Shouldn't you link me some eceleb faggot calling Vanilla >le magic videogame mmo experience that will never be replicated by le soulless companieslike you lot do? Kill yourself and be forgotten
>>737712759>I don't give money for blizzard product>I give money to other blizzard product>Blizzard product lost. Other Blizzard product won.ok
>>737712817and they were right, but Vanilla in general is has better designed dungeons in general without the linear aspects
>>737712963>i played vanilla day 1How is that relevant when we're discussing the meta that developed during classic? You said that warriors needed 50+ extra weapon skill which isn't even close to possible, you just need 5 which you get from racials or edgemasters.
>>737713114>BRD>good designlolo
>>737708143i sincerely mean it when i say wow vanilla is one of the greatest games ever made. it is blizzard's magnum opus, the company at its creative apex. there was so much love, care and attention put into every aspect of the game. zone variety, quests, classes, talents, sound design, music, professions, dungeons, pvp, battlegrounds, raids...there's not a single glaring flaw with it which is something one can't say for many mmos on initial release. it's a shame the original dev team all got laid off mere weeks into the game being released. it's also a shame that the game was ultimately the company's undoing.
>>737713189okay wrath babylolLMAO EVEN
>>737713114people want dungeons to be linear hallways and will complain if a dungeon is anything else
>>7377131285 weapon skill meant fuck-all, shit for brains. Congrats, you could hit a mob 1 level higher than you like you were 1 level higher yourself. Whoopie. Too bad you had to fight hordes of mobs at least 3 levels or more and bosses and their adds were 10 levels higher God, you're a nigger and you obviously never played vanilla.
>>737713382>>737713403>t. got boosted through BRD twice and thinks it's a good dungeonLMAOOO
>>737713426has this been a troll the entire time or are you doubling down on being retarded?
>>737713501no one cares about your baby opinionsfarming your reaction right nowkek
>>737713502>>737713576you know you don't have to pretend to be a retard to keep your shitty thread bumped, no?at least come clean and say you've never played vanilla wow. Also Israel won.
>>737713840not them but there's nothing wrong with BRD. wow, it's not linear and you actually have to pay attention to your surroundings in order to not get lost, so what? it's the best end-game dungeon for that reason. is that why you don't like it? it feels like a real lived-in city that organically evolved as it grew.
>>737708872>Phasing.>Any of the characters you meet being relevant.
