I'll re-center the thread with some useful links, Here's a countdown to the FINAL Stress Test Here's a countdown to Classic Launch and Name Reservation + Character Creation Here's how to Avoid Streamer Servers Here's one of the best leveling guides for both factions

I understand and agree with a lot of your sentiments, but if there's any one MMORPG where not spoiling the story is of importance, FFXIV would probably be it. Yes, some of the story is shit, but that doesn't mean others won't enjoy it and it also doesn't mean you should outright spoil it. You...

You'd be surprised, some people actually enjoy that shit. I will say that PvP in contested areas while leveling (at least before everyone has geared out mains) makes the leveling a lot more enjoyable for me. You could also grind dungeons if you really don't feel like questing, or play in one of...

I'm almost positive from your posts that you can attribute your enjoyment of FFXIV to the fact that it's a new experience to you. It might take you a long while to get through all the content, but it will happen eventually. At that time you'll be at a stage where you either stop playing MMORPGs...

I agree with Noodleface here. I'm surprised that with the rose-tinted glasses you have when it comes to FFXIV you're so eager to convince yourself that WoW is the worst thing you've ever seen. Level 10 in WoW takes what, 2-3 hours max in classic? Less in retail? I don't play retail, so I have no...

That's great news. They're handling this really well. I'll admit that I was half expecting them to start the character creation and name reservation without having listed the realms beforehand. I guess I underestimated them.

I guess it's traditionally the warrior, but since you asked, my personal opinion is that you should play what you enjoy and what's going to motivate you to be the best raid leader you can be. If you're going to be marking and calling the shots you should also keep that in mind I suppose. I don't...

I recommend this class picking video for a nice refresher. It helped me a lot at least.

It's from a huge beta census that someone did. Not sure which filters were used, but you can mess around with them if you want. https://wowclassicpopulation.com/characters?faction=Horde&maxLevel=40

Oops, that's correct. I had Alliance in there too. So a little less than half the Horde will be starting in Durotar and one fifth in Mulgore. Also that's a lot of Shaman.

Here's the blue post for that final test if anyone interested. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/wow-classic-pre-launch-test-11-00-a-m-pdt-august-8-and-minimum-specs/239621

Yep, every questing area has those quests too. Skeletons and their parts, zombies, pelts, paws and pumpkins for Undead. Orcs and Trolls have peons, scorpids, cactus apples, imps and Sarkoth. Alliance is the same. Even Tauren have a lot of those kinds of quests. The good thing about Tauren is...

They might just need more time to work out the kinks in their layering system or whatever they're doing to combat the problems that occurred last time. Another theory is that they could be waiting for the character creation and name reservation day to start the stress test, so they can kill two...

I recommend everyone bookmark this. It's the best countdown I found. Shows exact time until launch and also the character creation and name reservation. https://www.iswowclassicout.com/

I told you people to not burn yourselves out with inferior products.

This is how I've understood it. The numbers are just for example, I have no clue how many will be on each layer. Players 1-1,000 log in and are assigned "permanently" to layer 01. At least until layer is removed in Phase 02. Players 1,001-2001 log in and are assigned "permanently" to layer 02...

That's the theory, but again I don't have any idea whether this will be viable at launch in any way. Also, it's true that you will eventually run into the slower players, but they should ideally be much more spread apart at that point since the world opens up beyond the starting areas. I'm just...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you stay in the same layer regardless of whether you're logged out or not. This is true, however fresh players won't be continuously coming in to the starter areas. At least that's the theory. So those new players shouldn't be a problem for you. The ones...

Rumor has it that you can log in as early as possible, get into a full layer, go afk for a couple of hours and come back later to still be in the same layer. The vast majority of people will have already completed or almost completed the starter zone, because once the layer cutoff is met new...

Speaking of Ragefire Chasm, MadSeason just release a nice guide for the dungeon if anyone is interested. It has the locations for the quests and more. Many people here probably already know this info, but if not this is a good refresher. I've been saving a playlist of videos that might be...

Wait, something good is coming out this fall?

I'm also excited. I haven't been doing speedruns though, because I have a path down already. Or more importantly, I know what needs to be done and at which levels and what can be skipped if needed. If launch is anything like the stress test, you might have a very different experience from your...

Why'd you have to bring back memories of my awesome skull fortress in the mountainside? :(

This news is a few days late, but I just found out and thought someone else might find it interesting. The last stress test that was scheduled for July 26th-27th (or around there) has been changed to "Date To-Be-Determined." The blue post said the launch date is still planned to be the same as...

There's no Transmog in Classic. This is the effect layering impacted the beta. Layers Layering description from WoWHead. However, there are instances in that video where no group changes occur and yet the mobs are directly phased out when the player passes over a trigger point. So that...

The leadership worries me the most about all of this. That's true. I do believe that there are passionate people on the team who really want this to succeed though. Maybe we'll even get a change in leadership eventually. I really hope so.

I have a feeling some people are seriously underestimating how much Blizzard wants this to succeed and how well it will end up doing in the end. I've rarely seen so much hype over a game. YouTubers and streamers made hundreds of thousands of dollars during the beta. A lot of people have been...

It did have a very similar feel. At least at first. After the quests in Rak'tika were finished it just became a glorified quest hub. No real reason to ever go back unless you just wanted to. I think that's one of the major flaws with FFXIV as it's a reoccurring theme. Never make amazing zones...

MMMORPGGA

Sounds awesome. Just make it so the fruit trees can wither and die if they're not taken care of and make it so critters can steal your shit if you don't defend it. That way they need to interact with the community if they want to be prosperous. It also gives players who might defend their goods...

We have to find a way to reverse this. Souls games are huge, so gritty gamers still exist. We need a new MMORPG that's so good it will make players to stick around through the inconveniences so they can realize how much those inconveniences actually help the experience feel more fulfilling. I'm...

Not to mention you can't level them all at once.

I wonder how many guild applications have been submitted so far, and whether or not there's a large enough classic community on the forum to get two different guilds established. Unless a bunch of applications have been filled out, it looks like we're going to need to recruit more than half of...

Leveling and rep farming were the two things that kept me playing FFXIV back when it came out. Once I got max level on all my classes I went to work completing all the special grinds like exploring, rep grinds, relic weapons, etc. I took a break from the game when I ran out of content to grind...

How are tanks doing this expansion? Which tanks are in the best spot right now? I'd like to level one, but I have no preference. I'd just rather level the one that's whooping a hearty helping of ass right now.

I've been playing off and on since launch and I always shout invite please. If no one invites after 10 seconds I just start spam inviting random people spamming invite in the chat. 9 times out of 10 I get an invite, but making the group by name clicking is pretty easy. Team permanoob represent.

Nice listen and well done.

The monsters were dropping Thunderfury, pretty funny.
