Why would I play fucking WoW after Cataclysm, and playing it that long was dumb in of itself, never mind playing Classic again and again on some faggots circlejerk server that can explode any time? LMAO
>>
>>742272140
I played Ascension in 2016, and it's 2026 now.
These people are absolutely tourists pretending to be private server players, who probably get all their information from meme threads about private server drama.
If they've played on a server, it's unlikely they ever played the content in any serious capacity and probably haven't raided or done more difficult modes.
>>
>>742272140
CoA is not ascension classless, its another team's project that ascension bought out and left in paid beta with no updates for years. They are randomly releasing it now while its known they are currently facing a blizzard lawsuit and right on the back of them abandoning another highly populated project they bought out from the original devs

>stress test is just people spamming "FUCK BLIZZARD"

lmao
>>
Ascension's servers tend to be a little too retail-brained for me. Too focused on going fast, getting through things quickly, so you can get to the soulless Mythic+ grind. It's a shame because they have a lot of really cool ideas with new content and class changes and shit on all of their servers. Lots of fun if you're willing to just chill with it and enjoy the game beyond beating your head against a brick wall, but most players aren't.

So that said, I'm excited for CoA just to level with cool classes and stuff and play with my casual friends that don't really care about endgame. Witch Hunter's tanking spec sounds like it's meant to be crack for me, specifically.
>>
>>742275368
To get any real content you'll need actually talented artists, writers, and quest designers that could actually give any groundbreaking content. As it is right now, it's just retail WoW with extra sidegrades that only leads you to do same grindy shit.
>>
>>742275368
its unfortunate that it took them being shut down to roll out coa, they have sat on it for half a decade now and let it die on the vine because it competed with their more profitable in-house projects
>>
>>742272872
Funny that retail is the superior product. It dwarfs any private server population at all times. Remember p-servers dont exist without the official ones to steal from.

>>742277364
no, their policy is specifically to keep their players in the dark about everything
they would rather let their servers languish and die out while keeping radio silence for literal years than say anything that might make them look vulnerable or incapable
they inherited project epoch and let their playercounts go from like 50 thousand concurrent down to the triple digits while refusing to say anything about the status of the server, weeks before the injunction was even found out about
>>
>>742275368
Yeah. I had enough M+ autism in the short timeframe I've tried it on retail, I can't imagine how awful it's going to get with 21 classes that aren't going to be balanced at all.

Did they fix the classless server practically not functioning thanks to Manastorm and the LFG bug
>>
>>742266698
Yeah but it's still vanilla without major improvements so I don't care that much.
>>
>>742277364
The people in charge probably came to an agreement with blizzard already on a specific date where they will cease operations, and everyone working below them is probably in the dark and getting hit with the "more information coming in the coming weeks" stonewall their playerbase is constantly hit with.
They will announce a shutdown maybe a week at best before the agreed upon date, but they put profit before everything else so keeping the shop open until the very end is in their best interests

That's the seasonal server that gets reset after some time. You get random abilities and can reroll some later on.

Most people are playing Bronzebeard now which is a sorta classic+ experience with the original classes. It's basically season of discovery.

I think Wrath of the Lich King was worth playing, and that Cataclysm was the beginning of the steep and swift decline.

If someone I knew admitted to me that they did this, I'd never be able to look at them the same way again.

GaaS dream. You have infinite minor low-effort tweaks to make to "balance" the game.

>>742295452
sure, if you earn it yourself, but if you sell cash shop items to get gold that way, you don't really use that gold for anything else actually you do, but my point is that it doesn't really give you that much of an advantage, if at all
many of the cash shop items can by bought using another non-tradable in-game currency anyways

I'm not defending the model mind you, and I don't really like how the staff either were clearly set on making bank off this shit instead of just grabbing whatever money they needed to get things running, and then open source all their junk as all private servers should do, but those posts were way too shitposty and disingenuous

Massive pass, the private server autism is way too high for that to be a good idea without spergs ending up going

>>742285894
Good find. This shit is one of the prime reasons I don't play retail.

Prestige doesn't make you stronger it's just for based autists that prefer leveling to doing endgame.

if you played any server for just 1 month you would have all of that FOR FREE

>>
>>742291037
yeah the fact that none of the shills can defend this and just say IT'S OPTIONAL tells me everything I need to know
>>
>>742297470
Gear that you can get in other ways, meaning it doesn't differentiate you in anyway from someone who hasn't prestiged, meaning it would be nonsensical to demand people who have prestiged for your group, instead you would demand a certain iLvl or whatever.
>>
>>742297564
there literally is a portable bank
everyone got given one for free in the stress test today
>>
>>742297758
Is that account bound or does it only work on one character?
>>
>>742297462
I heard of Ascension like 4 years ago from a dude in a discord server who was a literal meth head living in a motel room, and it was their classless fortnite-tier pvp server not this
>>
>>742297985
i didn't check. those kind of items are usually account bound though
>>
>>742297995
true I always equated ascension players with that retarded hunter and rogue player in your guild that did nothing but unrated bgs and world pvp all day, aka the dumbest people in the game
>>
>>742297470
When you prestige you get a box of supplies you can open at max again, which can have pieces of current raid tier quality gear in it. So someone could gear up for raids by leveling instead of other methods, but that gears not special or better than other gear. You still gain no real power over someone who hasn't prestiged.

they just copy and paste the abilities of other classes and change the name, they dont even bother changing the animation or icon
like arcanist is a carbon copy of mage, but instead of frostbolt, its elemental bolt
instead of fire blast, its sun touch
its not as "expansive" as people think it is

>>742297341
You're absolutely right. It is why I don't play any of the versions. When they rolled out a cash shop for classic I was gone. What I do play should I get the itch to play WoW is a homebrew Azerothcore build. It's sad really, even these private servers act like retarded blizzdevs.

can someone tell me how bad the monetization actually is, like if i dont want to pay for that shit should i just play another private server without any of this stuff because its so woven into it and without doing that the grind is as slow as vanilla wow or even worse or what?

ive been playign a warmane server with 5x experience rate although after hitting 60 i think 5x was just a little bit too fast, but the regular speed of levelling that i remember from 15+ years ago was painful
>>
>>742302718
I started downloading about 35 min ago and I'm at 9%. It picks up here and there then goes back to turtle mode.
Deleted the game months ago because it was sucking up too much time.
But they got C&D so they are finally releasing CoA because their days are numbered. Figure I may as well go around one more time, before it's sunsetted.

In bronzebeard the servers were pretty good for how much people there was. Think it crashed a few times but the starting zones and towns were literally filled with bodies shoulder to shoulder so that's pretty damn good
>>
>>742303085
huh
>>
>>742303406
who cares about the monetization dude just fuck around with the new classes in the leveling experience and move on
taking a pserver seriously is retarded
>>
>>742303407
what is CoA
>>
>>742303406
with the CoA launch they're giving everyone one of the premium bundles for free (most obvious symptom of the server going out with a bang)
inside (among other things) are the books that let you train skills (both class and professions) on the go, and those are basically the two must-have items on the server

taking retail seriously is retarded
>stop paying $15 a month
>hundreds if not thousands of hours spent progressing your character, totally unavailable to you until you pay up again

i kept subscribing just to play a little bit and then realize i didnt actually feel like playing it for the rest of the month, wasting probably like $100+ total, or felt like i had to play it more than i wanted to to put my money to use. fuck all that

>>742266698

Some of them I do wonder "what's the appeal to this?" but if out of that massive selection literally none of them appeal to you sounds like a personal issue, get your anhedonia checked out.

they're all account bound though. and not just that but also transfer across their gamemodes. i bought the book for gold in the wildcard server and was able to use it in CoA

warmane has done this for over a decade and blizz never cared. blizz is literally just going out of their way to shut down classic+ servers, and ascension has that in the form of bronzebeard

>>742304537
really? I dont remember mine being account bound, I was completely unable to use them for the WC server too, did they change this?
Mind you, some of the stuff I had was obtained through the challenge modes so I have no idea if there is any difference

wow has fantastic atmosphere. i have a ~$600 sound system of just a couple high end bookshelf speakers, amplifier, DAC and subwoofer and the music is phenomenal. the graphics on a modern computer at high resolution and framerate are really fucking cool too. fuck modern games and their ugly photorealistic attempting graphics and unstable framerates requiring a $3000 computer running at max temps turning itself into a space heater while shortening its life much more quickly for such extremely diminished returns in immersion when modern games have zero atmosphere and shit gameplay anyway
