What race was the most fun to play as?
humans had the best starting zones with most love and care put into it
>>744148838I like the Goblins cause they serxy
Undead because they had the best movement that felt smoother than other races. Also it's nice to eat someone's corpse after you kill them in pvp.
>>744148838dragon femboy or panda for maximum seethe
Vulpera
>>744148838Human/Warrior
The Horde was governed by a girlboss because that's what Blizzard considers cool.
>>744148838Hey, that's Randy's character.
For horde it's Undead or Trolls. Only immigrants support offworlder orcs & disgusting STD carrying cow men.For alliance it's Dwarf then Human. Maybe night elf if you absolutely MUST play druid, never gnome.
>>744148838rogu-ACK
>>744148972I probably have the better part of 20k hours in WotLK and only played Horde in that time, and honestly you're probably right. It's not that Durotar or Silverpine are "bad" experiences, they're just really fucking drab and depressing. Mulgore is less depressing but the quests just aren't interesting at all.Nothing the Alliance has compares to the Barrens thoever.
The night elf journey from wetlands to ironforge was fucking hilarious
>>744148838Orc to cuck alliancefags out of their stuns
>>744149428barrens is quite literally the worst zone in all of wow
>>744149613t. a fucking pleb
>>744149680t. no-shoes hordenigger
>>744149680He's right though, Barrens was so fucking terrible that it drove people to shitpost all over the channel, leading to the infamous Barrens chat
>>744148838Blood Elf female.I don't care about Vanilla boomershit.
>>744148838>Human>White>Male>Protection fighter>Sword and board>Colonizes female troll wombs with human seed*Slams a pint of metamucil*Yeah, I'm thinking it's gaming time.
>>744148838male night elf rogue called sasuke
>>744148838Dwarf. Wow did dwarves absolutely right. The feeling when you got into Shadowforge and started genociding Dark Iron fucking shits was great. The whole of Blackrock was probably the best environment Blizz ever created, and the archeological feeling of finding out stuff about Dark Iron society was great world building. Also, did you know there was a mongrel Dark Iron skin hidden among the regular dwarf skins? They changed it later in WotLK I think

>>744148838>What race was the most fun to play as?For me, it was female gnome rogue with pink ponytails, because that's what would make people more angry after you ganked them, won duels, won a roll, etc. because they looked so ridiculous.
>>744149939wow anon you're so funny and original, here's an upboat for you good sir
Redhead human female warlock
>>744150269>you're so funnyFunny how?
>>744148838Night Elf because they do front-flips
>>744148838In classic:>humans for easy mode since all endgame was rep farming>undead for pvp wotf>troll for melee users to get that heal + melee speed dps>orc for hunter/warlock pet boostNE, Dwarves and Gnomes didn't have much going for them.Dwarves were ok as tanks for their stoneform but gnomes' escape didn't work on a lot of stuff.Tauren was also great for tanking because of stomp and health but the stomp failed endgame most of the time.
>>744148838>on allianceNelf>on HordeUndead>out of Nelf or UndeadI'd say Nelf, it was such a well made race in every aspect imo. At least in vanilla.
>>744149897Y chromosome detected
>>744149208>he wouldn't fight for she
>>744148838blood elf bc they got eversong woods (best zone ever). in classic, i main human but always liked nelf and how isolated from the rest of the world you felt, and on horde i liked orc, especially taking the zepplin to brill at lv8 and having like 10 quests available >>744149184>>744149943>>744150695i kneel
>>744148838>wasWill of the forsaken was OP in the battlegrounds
>>744149428>Nothing the Alliance has compares to the Barrens thoever.This is true, The Barrens far and away the best zone in the game. The last few times I've played on private servers was just to play through The Barrens a few times and then quit.
>>744150269t. female belf player
>Tauren>Balance Druid>FemaleYep, it's gaming time
Tauren
>>744148838>nelf warrior in classic>can't use axes>have to learn axes from dwarf weapon trainer in IF>nelf quests keeps giving you green axes and maybe a greeen 1handed sword>best/only early game nelf warrior 2handed weapon that you can actually use is a +3 stamina staffBrilliant design.
Horde leveling feels a lot more comfortable than alliance leveling because it was made second. Alliance zones are a huge disjointed pain in the ass. But alliance zones have a lot better background story and actually connect to each other well compared to horde.For me undead feels the best from start to finish
>>744148838I'd say nelves, because flippy jumps are still enjoyable 20 years on. Also they're cute, and druids are kind of cool, and the starting zone is good.Humans have the most polished zones, female Undead for some reason have the coolest animations in the game (rogues at least). Everything else kind of blends together for me.Oh, and most Horde zones in vanilla feel kind of unfinished (because they were)
>>744152309Leveling a Balance Druid in vanilla is one of the most tedious and unfun things I've ever done.
>>744150178>gnome subtly rogue>attacking strand of the ancients>shadow step onto the guns by the gates>stealth to horde GY flag>the second the gate falls start capturing>horde players run past you because the base of the horde flag obscures you entirely>all horde seems is getting nearly instacapped and pushed back to behind the next gatesI cheesed so many games like that.
>>744152789I leveled a resto shaman in vanilla mostly solo grinding
>>744153026I'd still rather do that than a Balance Druid ever again. At least you have totems.
>>744148838Human Demon Hunter when
>>744148838draenei male I like casting Gift of the Naaru as a sign of good will to whomever I cross paths with
>>744150695idk how many hours i spent just jumping on my night elf doing front flips over fences
>>744149119You're just a furry faggot, don't try to pretend it has anything to do with anything else.
>>744152782>Humans have the most polished zonesArtistically, yes, gameplay-wise, not a chance. Elwynn was clearly designed first and Blizzard had to retroactively figure out how to make the quest flow then Westfall clearly had the quest flow first and the zone design came afterwards because they realized how tedious Elwynn was.Human zones were on-the-fly experimentation with zone design, Horde zones were last and therefore streamlined so a player doesn't need to run from one end of the map to the other every single quest.
>>744148838Alliance sucks at bgs and PvP. I'll never make another ally shiter character ever. Also undead priest is the most kino combination
>>744152309>t. middle aged woman
I've always enjoyed leveling, both Alliance and Mudhut side, but most of my fondest memories and characters have been Blood ElvesI especially like the two starting areasSadly I barely got to play real Vanilla as I was too young, my first character was a human melee mage and I got to around level 40
Blood ElfFemalePriestNeed I say more?
For the Horde!
>>744154561>melee mageThat's not a thing, anon. Unless you mean you sat there autoattacking with your staff, in which case I have no idea how you had the patience to get to 40 that way. Must have taken months.
>>744155209trans coded
>>744148838I liked the cow dudes
>>744149085>gimme that Gla basically
>>744151676No thanks ma'am, I'm actually gay.
>>744154367And there's nothing wrong with that.
>>744149395someone explain this webm to someone who never played WoW, how much hp does the tank guy have and why didnt the invisible guy manage to kill him...
>>744151676She was so horrible I switched from an undead horde member to a human of the Alliance
>>744156182plate wearers (the guy on the mount) are very tough, he was probably quite low health (notice the lack of healthbars in the webm for shock value)the rogue (invisible guy) is made to primarily kill non-plate wearers, and has a harder time vs plate wearers by designthe plate wearer is a paladin with a special ability called Reckoning. The more consecutive times you hit him (notice all the individual damage values are each one hit), he gets a stacking buff that causes his next attack to do increasing bonus damagethe rogue hit the paladin, a tanky guy, many times with small hits, stacking up this damage buffthe rogue is fragile by designthe paladin, once out of the many stuns the rogue has, used his hardest hitting ability multiplied by the reckoning buff to one shot the rogue
Night elves get shadowmeld and a silly jump. Dwarves are the best in everquest because they also get a silly jump. Mindlessly jumping around is important to an mmo player.
>>744149613>>744149697I like this guy
blood elf>evil>elf but attractive>free interrupt>free silly jump>starting zone has best music>best quests with good reward too>listen to full lament of the highborne every time
>>744149428Nah Elwynn is just too generic low stakes D&D adventure. I've always loved Tirisfal Glades for how interesting the faction and stories are.
Night ElfMaleDruid
>>744148838Forsaken was fun. I liked how they were irredeemably evil zombies in the beginning. I played a warrior.Draenei paladin. Cool light-demon knight.Blood elf warlock/mage. I will have all the mana. I am better than you.
>>744148838Dwarf was my favorite. Stoneform came in handy a lot more than I expected it to and Ironforge is my favorite city in the game.
>>744154367Every female Tauren, especially druids, ive ever met has been a chill middle aged to older woman, and theyre all solid players and nice people. Make tauren, on the other hand, can be really hit or miss and I find they are usually really big try hards or chill dudes.
>>744156405reckoning gives extra swings for ever crit paladin suffers and maxes out at 5 stacks. the rogue was tickling the paladin with dagger crits and then paladin stunned the rogue, applied seal of command which gives chance for extra holy damage per swing, and then swung his grand marshal greatsword 5 times in one swing proccing command a few times as well.
Gnomes are quite funny when you go to places like the swamp of sorrows and start having to swim in ankle deep water.
>>744148838Tauren because they have the biggest penis among the selectable races to play as.
>>744159197>maxes out at 5 stacksdepends on the version, this webm is from vanilla, not classicyou now recall paladins reckoning bombing Kazzakthat being said, you're correct I misremembered the damage vs the swings part
>>744157640Dwarf Priest is OP in vanilla classic
>>744148972Only Duskwood was good.
>>744157694male tauren are a lot easier to pinpoint, it really just depends on the class.>hunter, druidretard or chill dude, never tryhard>warriorretard or tryhard, never chill dude>shamantryhard or chill dude, never retard
>>744160192that webm is from p server before classic was a thing
Orks. There's nothing funner than being a savage brute who kills everything.
>>744148838Guys is there any worthwhile way to play solo wow of vanilla or tbc? I never got into wow but feel like casually experiencing some of it if possible. Would it even be fun this way? I love wc3
>>744160828yeah you can do itno it's not very funwow at its core is a social game, the actual combat experience is dull
>>744160828runescape is better if you're just gonna be a solo dude
>>744148838You should try and level a druid i think its one of the most fun classes to level up in classic once you get bear and cat form.
>>744160480you're right, thought it was from world of roguecraft but it's from feenix which was 1.12, and reckoning was nerfed shortly before 1.8, I guess I just have a terrible memory
>>744156517Reminds me of how people back then made a huge deal of not being able to jump in GW1
>>744160973You need to party to level up? If so is it brainless content until endgame or do you need to learn shit? Just looking to chill for 30-50 hours and never touch it again
>>744160828wow single player project with bots running around in the world, you can do group content with bots.
>>744161265No you can pretty effortlessly level up to 80 or whatever on your own.
>>744161084druid is 100% the most fun leveling class and it's not even remotely closetanking in bear feels like you're a literal fucking god compared to warriors, you do more dps in cat than rogues who aren't giga twinked, and healing is so easy anyone can do itand all three of those can be done in the same spec so you can literally do everything if you carry around spare heal gearit's just a shame they instantly stop scaling at 60
>>744160828If you want a challenge try the vanilla version not in tbc, a lot of quests and mobs are nerfed in tbc, plus you get cheaper mounts at level 30 not 40, theres more quests and flight paths etc.
>>744161265It's endless fetch quests. The fun parts are the dungeons and raids and social interactions like random pvp in the wild or banter in towns which all require other people.
How come alliance fags were more subhuman than horde bros?
Orc - Knight of Xoroth
>>744160828wow single player project works fine for vanilla or tbc, plus you can get chatgpt or claude to write a plugin for the server that lets you have the bots use the api so you can talk with them, use a decent system prompt and it's better than interacting with the faggots that infest regular vanilla private servers by miles
>>744148838>male/femaleNot anymoreunironical troon game
>>744161528>build red combo points>spend red combo pointsWow so exciting. Having a demon pet on a not-warrior class is kind of cool though
>>744161528What private server is this?
>>744161520Idk i think the massive drag factor Horde have from all the try hard undead rogues balances it out from the passive agressive gnome mages.
>>744161450bears only having swipe as a rage dump is cucked and retarded. another thing that was fixed in tbc.
>>744161520Always was. Alliance are mostly infantle adults, teens, troons who'd never choose horde because ''ugly''.Back during release, many horde guilds were run by tight knit families.People were generally chill and funny. We only considered Forsaken to be trailer trash.
>>744148838Objectively speaking, Night elf is the most fun because stealth ambushes in PvP are more fun than random situational bonus that help vs specific classes.
>>744161982well you're not rage capped by pre-60 content because bear takes no fucking damage from anything so it doesn't really matter, and druid falls off a cliff at 60 anyway so even if bear had a rage dump it wouldn't matter because warrior is still 10000x better at main tanking
>>744162021>Alliance are mostly infantle adults, teens, troons who'd never choose horde because ''ugly''And don't forget chinks and other non-whites who hate themselves which is why Blood Elves were eventually added to Horde.
I've never met a dwarf player that wasn't a stand up guyt. dwarf player
>>744162315That's because no one can tell the difference if you guys are standing or sitting.
>>744150143lol I watch this video every time it shows up in my recommended.and this one https://youtu.be/6DUCHnEFWvc
>>744148838I remember wanting to RP but always felt extremely gay when doing it. I'm not talking about Goldshire Inn ERP nonsense just casual RP
>>744162315So few people play dwarf that it was difficult to ever get a read on what type of player they are.

>>744162550>dwarf hunterHe watched the trailer and thought it was cool as fuck
>>744162458The "quality" RP was often reserved for the RP guilds in good standing. On our server, we had a whole lot of racially segregated guilds. One was completely composed of dwarves in mountaineer cosplay
>>744149395KWAB
>>744162596yes, and he's a brainless retard.though that has nothing to do with being a dwarf, that's just part of the requirements to pick hunter.
>>744162315Any race that can roll hunter has its fair share of trolls/retards, its hard to tell sometimes.
>>744161842Ascension's CoA servers
>>744148838best vanilla server these days? i'm not checking a shithole like /wpsg/.
>>744148972nice try noah, but taurens had the best zone
>>744162021Horde players were infantile low-IQ degenerates who chose horde because "ugly is cool, and I hate mirrors". Back in the day, everyone with a brain and morals picked Alliance because they understood that beauty is valuable on its own. That's why Alliance players were generally such nice civilized people whereas Horde players were almost invariably drooling homosexual retards.
>>744163230>alliance player>weird obsession with low-IQ conceptschecks out.
>>744163230Alright now, you had your daily 5 minutes of freedom. Back to the chastity cage.
>>744161528I have a lvl 60 stormbringer on Vol'jin and it is the lighting mage you always wanted, featuring massive one-shot crits on clothies. Lvl'ing a barb now and it's pretty cool. There are NINETY THOUSAND PLAYERS on this shit. Extremely flavour of the month but man it's fun just having such an insanely populated game. The discord has people hanging out in VOIP all the time.
>>744163230t. assblasted ally player who rolled paladin to own the chuds with heckin safe fantasy racism but wound up having to wear the dress like a little cuck
yesterday's thread was better, no one is even posting images...
>>744148838Human warrior 2H dps at endgame because the attack animations were God-tier and the prestige of being one was sick
>>744163546I remember when casting plate was pretty much nonexistent so you'd see hairy pally men seriously raiding with rosy dresses lmao.
>>744163534Pretty sure that 96k is referencing the number of people on the discord. It is crowded as fuck online though, and all the classes means people (like me) keep making new characters so low level zones are packed
>>744163578What was yesterday's thread?
>>744162550>>dwarf hunter>brainless retardThis is too true. I have literally never met a dwarf hunter that didn't seem like some kind of mentally retarded thirdie.Overall the best hunters I've ever known were troll hunters, followed by orc hunters. Every other race of hunters is a complete mixed bag.
>>744163827>>744162596I am a dwarf hunter though and I'm a good hunter.It's night elf hunters that are the noobs
>>744148838Humans had the best overall story and engagement with their surroundings, but I'm partial towards night elves because it was one of my first wanks and night elf stuff is just neat. Darkshore grinding is a major memory of mine
>>744163891Last dwarf hunter I ran with in a dungeon was going with no pet and when asked why, he claimed he had no idea how to get a pet. This was back in August of last year on TWoW
>>744148838tauren................they sexo..............also war stomp.............
>>744163995kek I once saw a nelf hunter named "Legolaas" or something leveling in OUTLAND without a pet
>>744148838Human Male Warrior
>>744164224Might be some kind of challenge run weenie. You never really know until you ask them what their deal is. Only then will I conclude whether someone is a retard or not.
>>744161520I personally just prefer the aesthetics of the alliance, architecturally. Stormwind and Ironforge are very nice. Undercity is cool but fuck Silvannas and also the horrid layout. Org is cool, just really red.
>>744148838Dwarf if I was playing AllianceTroll if I was playing Horde

>>744164224>huntard with some misspelling of legolas as his name>dogshit at the gamePure 2005 SOVL
>>744148838its a toss up between the ERP races and breathing underwater
I think Troll is my favourite horde race coming from an alliance player pov. I love the punk vibe with the femtrolls one of the most aesthetic in the game, troll mage is awesome because of the cast speed, you get raptor mounts, the male trolls look hench as fuck, the starting area by the sea is great, never really encountered any lunatic pve players when alliance which cant be said for undead/orcs. Problem with Taurens is they are a bit too chonk and look stupid on kodo mounts.
>>744153230basedmale draenei are gay as fuck, but in like a based cho aniki way and not the obnoxious barafag way like those big guys from XIV.
Midnight was the first expansion I wasn't even mildly curious to try. I even played Shadowlands but this I feel nothing.
>>744163995Ah ok. Back in 2005 - or 2006 - I tanked a ZF run for a night elf hunter that was "melee only". He also had no pet. There was a night elf hunter in my guild "Immortal Champions" in 2005 - 2006 that farmed the epic bow Hurricane by killing mobs in Felwood. Rather than just farm the gold to buy it. It's a fucking shit bow and it took them... I don't even know how long it took them. They chose to FARM A WORLD DROP EPIC instead of just buying it.There was another night elf hunter in that same guild that ran around with two Bloodrazors with no enchants on them and the Helm of Narv (both items are dogshit for hunters). Any time a blue or epic item dropped that they could equip, they would roll need it no matter WHAT even if it was worse than what they had. No joke this happened all the time back then and every single time it was a night elf hunter with some variation of the name "Legolas"; either with additional unnecessary "x"s added to it like this, "Xxlegolasxx"; or some weird Euro-language diacritic replacing either the "e", an "o", or the "a"; often twice. Occasionally they would employ both naming standards. All of them without fail "typed like this.... with ellipsis every single time they spoke... lol...."Every single one was trash. The amount of night elf hunters I have seen who used distracting shot in their normal dps rotation (such as it was back then) was staggering. The "night elf hunters are noobs" goes way, way, waaaaaay beyond one instance of a bad dwarf hunter you saw on TWoW. It's ingrained into WoW culture.If you want something to blame, blame the Lord of the Rings movies. They were massive back then and every retard kid wanted to be Legolas.Anyone who played a dwarf hunter was re-creating the rifleman from Warcraft 3. They were competent at the game.So no I will not accept this "dwarf hunters are trash" bullshit thanks
>>744165156just because nelf hunters are a 100 on the retard scale doesn't mean dwarf hunters can get away with being 95s. sorry bro.
>>744164224Not seen that but ive been in level 30+ groups tackling elites with one who had his pet run off mid battle and seemed utterly clueless. Its probably not the easiest class to pick if your totally new to the game, but its kind of super OP 1 v 1 once you get your pet sorted with some beast talents and training.

>>744166225I go to Teldrassil if I roll non nelf chars and usually do the spider/harpy quest and pick up the chain one i think starts in darn. Its by some distance the hardest zone i think to do in hardcore vanilla.
>>744166035are you talking about vanilla or retail races? because a lot of races just became unbearingly floaty when they remade the character models

>>744163578
>>744168070https://files.catbox.moe/konurn.zipbest mod I've ever found for the game but fem draenei models are slightly bugged which kind of sucks.
>>744148838Night Elf was always my favorite. A lot of people hate Teldrassil and Darkshore but they were my favorite vanilla leveling zones. Of course everything pales in comparison to the actual game design perfection that was Eversong+Ghostlands but those aren't vanilla.
>>744148838The real actual retail vanilla 2004-05 answer was Night Elf before they nerfed stealth. Used to be you could shadowmeld and start using a cast ability/item/spell and you would stay stealthed until the cast was complete. So you had night elf hunters smelding and casting aimed shots from stealth not becoming visible until the shot was fired. Good times.This was ultimately changed sometime around patch 1.9 in early 2006 though I can't remember exactly when.
>>744168128Cheers, anon!
>>744148972It really isHumans > Orcs, Trolls, Taruen > Dwarf, Gnome > Undead > Night ElfFor the Starting ZonesHumans 1- 30 having a varied set of zones with its own overarching questline and dungeons that tied into that questline before deposing you out into Stranglethorn as your first truly contested zone was fantastic.After that all the races that level through the Barrens get to experience the best singular zone if just for how large it is and the amount of shit going on in it that led to strong early game community bonding.The rest can be put in any order according to taste but those two experiences were the best leveling experiences but for very different reasons.
>>744148838dwarf troll
>>744168624>Durotar>Not the absolute worst starting zoneWhat is this faggotry?
>>744167624not really, starting zones are considered friendly/enemy territory so you can't attack them unless they attack you first or they're already flagged for PVP. You can only open PVP in contested territory.There are however mobs that players can fight that are PVP flagged for some fucking reason so attacking them flags players for PVP. I think the only place you can really fuck with low level players that way is in the Orc starting zone where there's some humans you have to kill for a quest. It was always a pretty common griefing spot.
>>744168624>undead that lowHorrendous taste. Tirisfal is great. But I don't now why I'm surprised that someone who thinks Durotar is great has shit taste.
https://www.whereinwarcraft.net/Surely you can do better?
>>744169925fuck I really threw that, had a couple of curveballs in Ashenvale and Silithus and that was thatthis game is better on the other website anyway, forgot the name
>>744148838AAAHHH WHAT BODY TYPES ARE THOSE HELP ME NIGGER BLIZZARD
>>744148838What dance does the female elf have these days?Because I bet they removed the stripper dance she did when WoW launched.
>>744161694Having a horde of little homies jumping people for me is great. Minion master tank is kino.
>>744169925Cool game but the screenshots that are literally just a close up of a cave entrance with no visible mobs and barely any scenery feel like they're only in there to trip up the giga-autists that could easily crush this game if it were all actually distinct screenshots. Like I just lost a 20 point game because I guessed the wrong cave entrance in wetlands.
>>744165156I wanted to save the world with my pet dinosaur
>>744168813>>744169083Its on me for misreading the initial part of the thread.I was typing about the early game leveling path before filtering into the neutral faction zones So for human that would be as I said the whole Elwynn to Duskwood experience complete with the full Onyxia Sabotage/Defias storyline.Which again is why The Barrens caries that placement.If its just the starting zones proper than yeah Durotar is shit.
>>744169925I'm stopping there, was fun though. Would be cool if somehow the difficulty ramped up.
>>744168128It also fucks up the armor previewer, I think.
>>744166424Why the fuck would we be talking about the retarded retail models
>>744169925i made it to 30 without a miss and got bored. they're all super fucking obvious, the only one i had to think about for even a second was ironband's compound, and even that wasn't more than a speed bump since hostile dwarves only spawn in one place in dun morogh.
>>744169925You'll get the occasional screenshot that trolls you because "haha it was the other identical shore with murlocs in this zone" but not too bad.
Night Elves are great with Shadow Meld, making them the most fun Priests to use Mind Control with, even though they don't have Fear Ward.>Stand at the Horde flightpath in Felwood in Bloodvenom Post and Mind Control people who land there and jump them down the mountain just beside and they will have to corpserun all the way from Darkshore, through Ashenvale up to Felwood and then jump down to their corpse who is stuck on a ledge in the mountain below, to Hearth or jump down into Darkshore

Do other forever games have the same problem wow has? Which is to say, just will never compare to the childhood experience and therefore has a dwindling player base? Like does CoD or LoL have this problem?
>>744148838I've played wow since 2004 and have never read a quest or watched a cutscenes.
>>744153334This. This right here is what it's all about. Such a sweet seethe...
>>744172081because vanilla models were so good that a lot of them were pretty equal and people just went with their personal favorites and casting animations that felt great like male forsaken
>>744174549>that felt great like male forsakenMan, I'm tired. I had to read that like 5 times.
>>744148838Tauren because they have Plainsrunning.Mounts are for fags.t. haven't played wow for a while
>>744173447ive had 3 distinct 'eras' playing wow>2005-2009>2013-2015>2019-2022none of them are even close to feeling the same and all of them were a good time
>>744174868>tfw you can't strangle someone through your monitor
>>744173447CoD has a slightly similar problem of players always remembering the magic of their "teenage prime" CoD release and how newer releases will never be as good.But it's still different to never being able to recapture the experience of playing wow before the game was known inside and out by every player, the experience of an open world mmo etc.I guess only pokemon is similar in that regard.
>>744175453Same, except the middle one sucked absolute ass.
>>744175831I had a fun time in middle era because I was erping every day with an of-age austrian chick.
>>744148838Undead have the most fun racials
>>744148838Human. Because they are the only race with Paladin.As much as everyone dumps on Paladin in Classic, going around as a prot Pal was fun as fuck for me.
>>744176865>only race with Paladin.Wait, I guess Dwarves are there, too. But I despise playing as Dwarves, so... yeah.

>>744149085Holy based. I love my UD warlock lol. So many stay alive tricks.
>>744149119I love my vulepra and scalie bitch lol
>>744167747I remember seeing a video where some guy kited the elite abomination from duskwood all the way to elwynn and got it to aggro on all the lowbies and kill them. of course the video used "let the bodies hit the floor" for the music.
>>744179262>kiting stitchesamateur hour, real griefers kited the blasted lands elite dragon to stormwind and watched him kill players indefinitely due to his mechanic of lifestealing for every target in range (this includes the guards that are too stupid to move out of the way and endlessly respawn)
The most fun I ever had with WoW was when mods were losing their minds trying to keep /wowg/ on topic, as Shadowlands was a disaster and FFXIV was going through Shadowbringers and Endwalker at the time.
>>744178778Thats what you get for playing a filthy dwarf.
Play Hardcore.No, its not some epic gamer challenge mode.Its for us boomers who want to relive 2004 nostalgia. People are vocal and group up for every quest. Instead of rushing to 60 you take your time doing all the quests. Every zone is populated and the economy stays functional. Potions and scrolls and other niche items get utilized.It is truly the best format.
>>744180339meh. i did it once and see no point doing it again. died at 20, rerolled, made it to 60, raided up to BWL, then died due to blizz servers shitting themselves. that's enough hardcore for me.
Whatever race lets me breed short chicks.
>>744180393>RaidtrannyDont let the door hit you on the way out. The entire point of WoW is leveling, maybe a few dungeons.
>>744180514hardcore doesn't add anything to the experience of leveling aside from avoiding the handful of deathtrap quests and grinding a couple dozen mobs to make up the lost exp. it's not like you're going to die to "kill 14 harpies" quests unless you're actually braindead or there's some blizz issue. if you get past 20 you're home free.there's no pvp to spice things up, dungeons are locked to once per day so at many level ranges you just do your one daily and then you're done, it's actually just plain worse for the leveling experience as a whole.
>>744148838reminderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp3DNiTmcE8

>>744182709>>744183029would swamps and bogs be better or worse?
>>744183138the best would be somewhere snowy/freezing right? they'd smell much less and wouldn't rot nearly as fast
>>744183029and you just walk into the little town like nothing is out of the ordinary>>744183138it would be as gross but at least you match the environment>>744183167yea. though im not sure if snow has much effect it might be better in a very dry and freezing place
>starfield has a general
>>744180812Hardcore ensures there are more people in leveling zones who stay there longer, which is the entire appeal of fresh because people are actually out in the world instead of paying 1000g per level to get mage boosted inside a dungeon.And it also encourages leveling professions and crafting. Now you could play normal and do that anyway but the same charm just isn't the there.
>>744148838Human. Nothing beats Stormwind/Elwynn/Westfall/Darkshire/Red Ridge. Every other starting area is grossly inferior.
>>744148838Female gnome with pink pigtails
>>744183453this only really applies to early leveling zones, once you pass the 20-30 range it's a barren wasteland where you rarely see others. go to a zone like felwood and check /who, you'll get a bored 60 herbing, five chink bots grinding animals up north for leather, and 1-2 levelers, maybe 3 if it's a busy day.
>>744183507i prefer the light red or white hair
>>744182709Deserts are one of the better places to be because they're low humidity, there's a reason mummies last for thousands of yearsIn jungle zones you would be absolutely putrid and crawling with insects
>>744162021And then burning crusade released and flipped this.
Is there a offline why of playing vanilla, TBC or wotlk without bots, like the Synastria private server?
>>744183628Meh, about the same as era then.
>>744184216yeah, that's kinda my point. 90% of your time spent leveling in hardcore will be in dead empty zones where you never see or interact with anyone, no different than just playing classic era. if you're looking for an active leveling experience with lots of people you're better off just waiting for a fresh pserver.
>>744183874yea, with wow spp you can set bot count to zero.

>>744188786cope answer is that the client is buggy and doesnt update your location unless you side step, so you can get out of rage bug or something. real answer is that they're autistic.

>>744189289You forgot trans trolls.
>>744148838Personally, I think the Draenei had the best starting area.Azuremyst isle was your typical heroic adventure where you're being a goody-goody and getting all your boyscout merit badges by helping heal the land and help the weak and innocent, while Bloodmyst turned it around into purging the foul demons and heretics who dared set foot in these lands and spit upon the endless grace of the Holy Light.Shame it never went anywhere because Blizzard forgot about it entirely. Seriously, does the Hand of Argus show up even one time after TBC? I don't think so.
>>744192371abysmal dogshit zone aside, the only time the goats shine is LegionExodar is minutes away from being destroyed until (You) arrive, Velen and his buddies fix up the ship and ride back to Argus
>>744192571>the only time the goats shine is LegionLegion was dogshit from start to finish. It was an expansion that should never have been made and, having been made, the Warcraft series should have ended with it instead of dragging on into bullshit fanfic territory. It was only ever """good""" in comparison to the garbage that came before and after it.
>>744192825wow shouldn't have existed in the first place and let's leave it at that

>>744183016
>>744193149Not all of WoW's lore was bad.I'll die on the hill that "When the Titans finished creating the universe, the greatest among them, Sargeras, went out exploring the furthest reaches of creation and discovered the Void. The existence of the Void disturbed and frightened Sargeras so greatly that he decided that the universe itself was fundamentally flawed and must be destroyed and returned to its primordial chaos so that it could be remade without the possibility of the Void, and to this end he took on the chaotic energies of the Twisting Nether and created the Burning Legion to crusade across all reality." is a fundamentally better backstory for the main overarching villain of the setting than "The Titans discovered the demons and since the demons were evil, they had Sargeras guard the demons, but the demons were so evil that Sargeras became evil and he became the demons."
generals belong in /vg/
>>744148838Human or Gnome/Dwarf. They have the best starting zones and best starting quests by far. The Barrens sucks so much in comparison.

They coasted off their gender. They were the archetypal gamergirl that makes gen z girls seem reasonable. They typically specced 51 points in to beastmaster with out picking up any of the major abilities. There was no inbetween, male nelves were typically people with main character syndrome that somehow had all of these traits at once. They were walking disasters.

>>744206456WoW female nelves are too wiry and "pretty" for the savage amazon angle in my opinion. I'm not saying they need to be bodybuilders with jawlines more impressive than Arnold but the ones in game just never sold me on that. My tinfoil theory is that they knew a lot of women would play night elf female priest and didn't want to scare them away by making them into Xena or Red Sonja.
>>744148838Female blood elf Best starting zone,best antimage racial ,best girl
Is it too late for me to start playing WoW? Didn't play it at its peak in the early 2000s.
>>744172303It was easier with typhoon on a druid ,pushing entire raids into the void ,so fun;_;
>>744207603its a timeless game, like tf2 or melee. The community changed but the game is still peak. My personal recommendation is to play on a private server because the retail classic community is beyond saving
>>744207826>My personal recommendation is to play on a private server because the retail classic community is beyond savingWhy? Is it all veterans who hate actual newfags?
>>744207942no one cares about the moment to moment experiences and just sleepwalks for hundreds of hours with the prospect of maybe doing endgame content a few times. private server community has more "been there done that" boomers who enjoy the entire game all content and player interaction included.
>>744203000There is literally one good female troll art
>>744207942nta but I can give you many reasons why you should avoid retail like the plague it is:> Automated report systemYou better believe there are malicious actors who weaponise this feature in order to unjustly ban accounts. > Rampant botting/boosting/RMT/GDKP all feeding into one anotherOne such group of actors are 3rd world trade cartels who also control prices of everything they can to the point you're literally better off going to work doing overtime and buying gold from them in order to buy consumables you need (also from them as well). Great for dadgamers, miserable for everyone else. > Blizzard hired GMs are just as crookedRecent WoW drama involved a GM using GM commands to boost streamer's M+ run to help him pass his "homework key" as he described it. The only reason this came to light was one member of the group was PuG who was doing live logging. Suffice to say, nobody trusts un-logged runs any more and any pro streamers with unlogged keys deserves suspicion. This is a natural step up from ages ago when a GM would act like a white knight and ban a member of the opposite faction for dispelling his favourite streamer's world buffs.> In-game communication channels are literally dead. No, I am not jokingBecause of rampant abuse of automated report system, many people simply moved to private discords and have all their communications there. Cynical part of me believes that once discord integration goes live, Blizzard will action accounts based on outside game communications simply because someone will be able to SS someone's banter through in-game UI.Then there's the usual meta-gaming obsession that warrants a second documentary as well as jokes about how said speedrunners cut their cocks of just to go a little bit faster and parse just a little bit better.

>>744148838Gnome because it feels like you're running faster
>>744148838Gnome. You could even flip people off when you used the rude gesture. I loved flipping druids the bird before running behind a box in arenas.

Is TBC Anniversary worth playing if I want something to relax to for an hour or two at night to play with my bro? We both have full time jobs and kids, we don't care about the expense or silly video game politics like giving Blizzard money.
>>744196350I know, I hate it too
>>744148838The one conquering and colonizing and having their own Rhodes Colossus art by Metzen.
>>744213953honestly, this is the least hateable card i've seen from one of those pop IP sets. decent art paying homage to an excellent piece of art. flavor makes sense and is not particularly objectionable. if it weren't literally fucking spider-man i don't think i'd have any issues with it
troll male hunter. i love the noble savage tribal fantasy
>>744189246?
>>744195174i always hated how hard it was to make tauren look truly savage and bestial in wow. trolls look more inhuman and bestial than them even though tauren should be the least human looking of them all. i always wanted to play as some insane looking monster like the left, but you cant look like that in wow, even in vanilla.
>>744203181What's the difference between the parody and the real thing? yeah, that's what I thought, also I'm smarter and whiter than you'll ever be.
>>744215858noble? they're pretty savage
>>744215858>troll male hunterI remember when I started playing and questing in duskwood. Then a max level 80 troll male hunter came into town and started killing every npc. It was the first time I encountered a troll and when he looked at me, he pointed and laughed at me, he did the laugh emote several times at me.It was then, I decided to go horde and roll a troll male hunter myself and maid it my main. I can still hear the troll laugh in my head to this day.
>>744216578well characters like vol'jin as a whole and the general loyalty of the darkspear trolls is quite noble. they are savage, but noble. think shaka zulu. i also love the general feeling of decline with the trolls. once the rulers of all of azeroth with massive advanced civilizations like the drakkari and zandalari, but have now decayed quite deeply until the salvation of the horde came to take them in.
>>744197270they do actually they're just very difficult to find. I've found these in a chest in desolace

>>744216561real thing was made in 2005. everything made after that on private servers is cringekino made tongue in cheek. you're soulless if you can't appreciate videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxntdmiiLxg
>>744219546as someone who never got into warcraft lore i consider this funny
>>744219840It's even better. The patch that has the Gaoler say that there's a bigger threat than him (his plan was to completely rewrite reality) was the same patch they marketed as the thrilling conclusion to the story started in Warcraft IIIThis also happened to be around the time FFXIV had the Endwalker expansion which also marketed it as the thrilling conclusion to a 10 year story. Funny enough, the expansion after it shit the bed so hard they're going back to the underlying issues that were so central to the story before it "ended"
>>744181745>>744182371>>744182464That one psychotic korean dude drawing on-model fem-dead porn gave me a whyboner the likes of which I haven't felt in a looong timeI think it keeps getting deleted from boorus though (for good fucking reason desu)
>>744220325>the thrilling conclusion to the story started in Warcraft III
>>744220325XIVtards were insufferable around that time, even making it hard to talk about classic as it was coming out too. They are absolutely silent now though lel

>>744208945i have the actual only good troll pic that's porn, draw in early 2005 but he messed up a single line so it went to a trash folder then disappeared from the internet foreveri still have it though
>>744166035As a Draenei player the Draenei jump has always been insanely goofy. He lifts his whole legs up as high as possible as if he's trying to do a high jump at a track competition
>>744222359>They are absolutely silent now though lelAnd with good cause!
Nelfs and Trolls are conceptually badass but both look retarded in game
I like Goblins.
>>744222359everyone with two braincells to knock together has realized MMOs are slop and moved on to better genres
>>744224191
>>744224202WoW (classic) still has one of, if not the best world exploration/leveling experience in any game, ever.And that's saying a lot considering you stop bothering to even read quests by level 30
>>744221728You can't write something like this without giving a name or a link.
>>744219546jailor looks like obama lmaoshouldn't this be updated with xalatath or whoever the big bad is now? what is she "protecting" us from?
>>744225537WoW vanilla is good (not the fake and gay classic) but it's 20 years old and nothing since then has even come close so it's fair to say the genre is dead
>>744224842If gnomes had more cosmetic options that isn't mechagnome shit, I'd rock one easily
>>744230326they haven't gotten a new hair style in like 15 years but you can make them black now I guess
>>744227178it's disgusting man The only one I saw was Widowmaker's body cut up and strewn around a port-a-potty. Like her tits were on top of a TOILET
>>744229946>WoW (classic) still has one of, if not the best world exploration/leveling experience in any gameI do love that the game requires you to use your brain, which a lot of people don't have.
>>744231903guise where do i find mankriks wife
I hate that WoW became a game you speed level in 2 weeks and raid log then quit 2 months later. It just seems like it dies a fast death. Nobody even talks about TBC anniversary already and it hasn't even been half a year.
>>744148972>human has great leveling zones with good lore and story>blizzard put too much time into it and has to rush Horde quests>The Barrens accidentally becomes a super efficient zone of kill quests that were just thrown togetherIt's amazing how old Blizzard just knew how to throw together shit like no other. Hell, Molten Core took barely any time to make.
>>744232743Honestly being spammed with like 10 kill quests at once just makes for way better gameplay. Defias Brotherhood-tier stuff is nice as a treat but 99% of the time I just want to get pointed in a direction and go spam buttons on my action bars for an hour before coming back to town. Being railroaded into a storyline in every fucking zone just made questing unbearable for me, I can only enjoy vanilla and tbc zones because of it pretty much. WotLK and beyond is just too linear and scripted.
>>744179914it was a magical time
>>744203000
>>744172275only 40 score, what a casual :DD

>>744196058>ping in Europe must surely assIt's unfortunately at 50 for me, and will once per day just shit itself or 10 minutes.>population is probably lowCompared to Turtle, yes. Still see people everywhere while leveling though.
>>744235161for*
>>744148838I wish we could go back bros.
>>744232743It works well for horde because all the horde races live in hostile lands and are constantly fighting against encroachment from various different species and groups etc, so the main focus of adventurers would be to kill those who encroach on their land/hunt animals for food and supplies etc.
>>744235409Home...
>>744233514>My competition is shooting itself in the foot and they're all flocking to me, how do I respond to this?>I know! *Shoots myself in the fucking head and releases Dawntrail*
>>744235423>constantly fighting against encroachmentMaybe they should get the fuck out of my forest.
>>744235487Might makes right, or at least it used to in the world of Warcraft.
>>744235450dawntrail being the straw that breaks the camel's back for FFXIV players is really fucking funny because sneedolands has it beat in an abysmal dogshit contest
>>744149395evil will never win
Tired of the alliance constantly taking the high road to deal with the savage tribals of the Horde. They burt a giant tree down just because. They constantly try fucking up the world for no reason. They can't build they can only destroy and plunder and live in dirty huts. They need to do something drastic. Let Jaina actually smash a tsunami into Ogrimmar this time. The horde needs a destroyed city to avenge Darnasses.
>>744188646I do very much prefer the updated faces.
fuck me /v/rosI want get into this but Horde is full on the only us pvp server.how long do I have to wait?
>>744148838Remember when female humans had weapons bigger than pretty much everyone?

>>744239671Should they have known that dude had some sort of reflect spell?
>>744222359>They are absolutely silent now thoughYou must've missed the threads about the recent fanfest then, because there was plenty of discussion. And since SE is just kind of retarded instead of outright malicious like Blizzard, it looks like next expansion might actually an improvement. Something which hasn't happened in over a decade for WoW.
>>744239671What is that 5m cooldown reflect that he popped, a trinket?
>>744238335>Let Jaina actually smash a tsunami into OgrimmarShe's need to take the green cock out of her mouth for 5 minutes to do that, it'll never happen.
>>744239843not necessarily, but that's what makes it funny>>744239994engineering trinket

>>744240545>2 dingleberry mages share single braincell, neither have concluded that 4 pyroblasts is overkill or that they have fire ward spell
>>744239642This is fake right? no way this is real. At least not in this forsaken timeline of gaming.
>>744240545>engineering trinketThat was what I expected, popping it a split second before the Pyros was fantastic, his lack of smiling as they died was just sad though.
>>744241684All MMO players are fated to eventually become soulless golems, no longer able to derive pleasure from events that would have once made them pog

>>744235487hmm looks like rightful troll land to me
>>744238635just play ascension wow lol
>>744212851always worth it if you play with a frienddon't recommend it solo, though
>>744149395>>744198139im an undead mostly player and i just roll undeads because they're cool
i never played this but gnomes are funny
worgen!
>>744243182Dark trolls evolved into the night elves dumbass.
For me its>AllyFemale Worgen Hunter, Female Draenei Paladin, Male Human Warrior>HordeMale Tauren Druid, Male Orc Warrior, Male Undead DK, Male Undead Rogue, Male Undead Warlock, Female Belf (but dark ranger customization) Hunter, Male Troll Shaman.If it has a tank spec, I tank. >Inb4 retail I just like playing the game man.
For me? It's Orc or Troll Rogue, roaming Durotar
>>744211409>>744196350>>744195174Women did this btw.No that's not me just being an incel. The reason why your 'badass and cool' male got Disney-fied is because of women.
>>744244343Yeah no shit.
>>744188838The big problem is everything was a tie in for nu-Blizzard to rewrite old lore for some grandiose plotline about there being even bigger threats to Azeroth than just the Void and the Burning Legion. That involved essentially saying every event was orchestrated by the Jay Lore and dreadlords to get Arthas to wear the crown, so and on and so forth, until Sylvanas was magically the plot device to sow enough chaos and bring us into the Shadowlands. Which is now culminating in them doing this 3xpac saga shit where they're going to essentially reset everything good about the game so they don't have to worry about any of the old lore ever again. The worst part of the tree burning being involved is essentially the issue with how they've been handling Night Elves throughout all of WoW. They basically fucked everything about them. And I get it, they nerfed Malcuckion a bunch over time because they basically had to, but they had absolutely no idea what to do with the character after. And that ended up putting him in a position where the most powerful druid somehow shits the bed in every pivotal moment. When confronting Sylvanas just before the final assault on the tree, he gets an axe thrown in his back. Sure it's a wartorn Darkshore, but you'd think on some level he would have had the ability to detect that Saurfang was not only wrestling with the idea of something so dishonorable, but that also, this big fucking orc was sneaking up on him to lob a giant axe at him. It was just really shitty writing to make the whole start of the BFA xpac seem like Blizzard wasn't holding back with the war. Yet, nothing else interesting happened.
>>744192371The Burning Crusade starting zones really are Blizzard at their peak>good quests>good hubs>zones and even individual locations brimming with SOVL>10/10 musicThe environmental work in BC and WotLK in general was really something else imo.
>>744188838Said tree was the Night Elf starter zone and capital. Also we'd just had a big expansion where the moral of the story was 'bombing cities bad' that culminated in raiding the Horde's main hub and killing the Warchief so doing it again but it being fine this time because it's Sylvanas was weird and annoying, especially since Garrosh blew up a military port shipping shit onto his doorstep and not an actual whole ass city and starting zone on the opposite side of the continent.
>>744192371Azuremyst/Bloodmyst Isles, and Eversong Woods/Ghostlands are easily my favourite starting aras. TBC knocked that shit out of the park.
>>744196808your entire worldview is based on vibes
>>744245545lol fuck off they're boring and soulless, literally no different from the garbage quest hubs that plague retail
>>744195174Don't cry because it was ruined. Smile because you were there to play it at its prime.
>>744245545Thats a screenshot of the current retail expansion version of that zone, anon, not TBC.
>>744249395So what’s the deal with retail now, can you even go back to old zones or are you forced to Current Area?
>>744249845You just talk to an NPC in the area to swap between new and old I think. Pretty sure the NPC is explained away by making it a bronze dragon in human form, so its 'time travel'.
>>744239642>ha! forkthat's cutlery not a race
