I think you really need to interpret the Forever launch as their starting point. Housing will make it in sooner or later. I'd bet money on it.

Speaking of the book turn ins in Undercity (if Horde). What is the point of those quests? You find a book and turn it in for like 250XP, it doesn't do anything else for you?

You just need to do a lot of running to get it as I understand. So you probably don't need to wait.

Also, did anyone get the journeyman campfire kit or the fishing rack from running dungeons? It looks like something you will either pay exorbitant amounts for or have to repeat certain dungeons for.

The nuance here is that gear progression, especially tier sets, have followed a similar design since 2004. The reasons for this are lost to time. If you consider Tier 1/Molten Core the baseline the next tier, Tier 2/BWL was about 25% stronger. Tier 3 was an additional 25% stronger and Tier 4 as...

Like that one quest in Ashenvale where you look for the pages of the Shredder Manual? I have never once completed that quest. Fuck that. The one in STV that is similar too.

One of the qualities I have always liked about OG wow is that I can play it and casually do other stuff. Chat, read, watch an episode of whatever and just veg out.

This is extraordinarily unlikely unless their StarCraft megaproject shits the bed. As the release date of that is over a year out from the current Forever roadmap. They can definitely fuck all this up, but it wont be Forever that does it.

The whole game is a time waster. I don't get this. If you don't want to do the Cozy Sleeping Bag quest that makes you run all over Azeroth, as an example. Don't do it then? I certainly haven't. I am not even trying to simp here. But it seems half of you expected Era but with Retail features...

That was how it worked in WOTLK. I am not even against this per se. But they very much need to preserve meaningful friction in the game. Adding conveniences is very much a slippery slope and they at least are aware of that now.

LFD with instant dungeon teleport is one of the features that absolutely killed old WoW. You're loony tunes if you think even Blizzard would be retarded enough to add it back. If there were any 10 things they know not to do under any circumstances LFD, Flying mounts, and exponential tier set...

I need to revisit and finish Wrath one day. 300 hour campaign though? Damn.

Are you using the $100/month Claude just for personal stuff? I use the $22/month Cursor plan and its more than enough for my dumb personal projects.

Go to Desolace or something?

Yeah, absolutely do not sleep on the Spoken addon. It is amazing and adds so much atmosphere to the game. Even the old quests from 2004 are somehow more enjoyable with it.

Work does Taco Tuesdays from here now You've Never Had a Taco Like This | Velvet Taco The Cheeseburger Taco was awesome.

I've been pretty good keeping up with all of my professions. I just need to spend some time farming up Oily Blackmouths and Sagefish today.

Also I am down in the office today and like half this place seems to be playing it. Even the early 20s crowd.

Technically, the whole game and genre is a waste of time.

I have had zero issues questing. I did find out that they removed the Goblin camp from Dustwallow which seems like a strange decision. As much as I hate that zone that did add some better quests around. If they corrected that with other spots this is fine. I've found a good number of quests...

Thank God I am not playing PVP. I don't know if its rose tinted glasses or whatever but playing PVP back in the day just wasn't as ball crushing in my mind. It seems like you have hyper-optimized PVP degens now that are not just PVPing in the world, but actively looking to ruin the experience...

A lot of the issue is that a large portion of the playerbase is all using RestExp which is a very specific guide and leveling path for ""efficiency."" So everyone is doing the exact same quests in the exact same spot and in the exact same order. I am only level 24 but I have experienced none of...

They will very likely do a revamped or completely redesigned Northrend. Since in this storyline Arthas is still the Lich King and all.

I saw some post where there's like level 45 boots that make it so you can't run. But the boots do have decent stats for the level. Having these fun trash items out there is great IMO.

I think they are definitely starting off on the right foot here. There is a meaningful amount of friction in the game and nothing blatantly retarded. I like the crates you can get for profession stuff. I found a few but since everyone is still leveling profs I doubt they'll get a lot of use just...

I made a fishing addon that just has it be right click when I have the pole equipped.

No that is just how it starts. They straight admitted that retail got there via death by a thousand cuts. So they're starting from the beginning and attempting to not do that. Yet here you are demanding those same little cuts. Suppose they make these "small changes" you want? You'll what? Be...

Make sure you just do RFC and Ruins of Lordaeron. It gets you straight to level 19. Then go the the southern Barrens for a bit. Do WC if you can get the quests and so on. I ran around a lot doing whatever but yeah. Humping it sucked back in the day too!

During it's time under Activision, Blizzard was underfunded. That is obviously not the case now and they have far greater access to Microsoft's resources. Going the super cheap route should be avoidable if they so desire.

Not sure why we have to rehash this. As they are planning on this being "forever" they want to get ahead of things that will act like anchors on the game. Paid boosting services and rampant botting will destroy this game and any long term sustainability they are going for. There are always...

You don't need to be in dungeons to group.

They buffed dungeon experience again. They need to not cave to internet manchildren on this. Stick with their design and just move on.

They just cannot cave to whiney manchildren. That is all it takes. Who knows if they can do that. Even prior to the Social Media days they caved to it when faggots cried that some minor nerf made it pointless to play their class. Exactly like they are doing right now just amped up to 11+ with...

Gotta have MAX EFFICIENCY ALL THE TIME am I right? The majority of players are whining because they want things to be more efficient. Something like comprehension where you get some drops you can interact with other players over you see this as an attack on your efficiency. Why? I'm leveling a...

This is awesome. Respect. Also for everyone dooming about Blizzard going off the rails seeking balance. IDK if that should be that much of a worry. They have already introduced tons of completely retarded items in the game with really quirky effects. They did this deliberately. While Classic...

I had firehouse recently. It was okay. I always prefer Thundercloud Subs (Austin only chain) or Jimmy John's though. One of these is opening near me though. https://snarfssandwiches.olo.com/menu/austin-anderson-mill-n-hwy-183

I had a hunter this morning run out of ammo and started to melee. He also butt pulled 2 extra packs and almost wiped us. Truly felt like 2005.

They are certainly retarded. But they have admitted that they know it was death by a thousand cuts in terms of game design rather than any one thing. It would be a shame if they did exactly the same thing again. The "Boosting" lobby is going on full blast right now flooding Reddit and Bliz...

Leveling as protection warrior it does feel really good. Especially once you get level 20. You do have to stance dance a lot but it is fine. You do good damage and generate a lot of rage really quickly. I also an running alchemy so I have tons of buffs on all the time and it really smooths out...
