BUT MAH NUHSTALGIA!! is not a good excuse to avoid updating graphics in 2026.

No why is there haze, fog, light glare worse than nu-trek movies - in every game. I would like to see the game and scenery. Stupid lighting effects are not "turn on to look NEW!!!!!!!!!!MODDERRRNNNN"

maybe I expected too much. I can’t get a raging erection for the 2-3% of the game that’s different like most of you. It just feels like fucking wow, again. Quest hubs, bear asses, tolerated only due to good class design. Omg a game has shadows and fog , in 2026?! I’m gonna cum again. the genre has moved on, nostalgia has its limits. Anyways, back to the mnm thread for me

I haven't seen any streamercrowds yet. I saw an asmon clip on youboob of a solid line of griffons flying from redridge to stormwind. Looked like a flying snake or something :emoji_laughing:

I made an elf shaman and ran to burgerville. Very hippy communist kind of place.

But for some reason gay space elves on an isolated floating space island for 10000 years have quite the bandit problem.

If you show up for the boomer softball league and you're disappointed it's just a bunch of geezers sitting around drinking beer and playing softball I don't know what to tell you.

There might be a little of this at play however -

Jokes aside starting your vacation on Wednesday November 4th is not the play. Schedule the following Monday forward off.

Anyone seriously considering the PvP realm really needs to sit down and do some introspection on that decision.

I know in 2005 we were all giant sweatlords pushing grand marshal and destroying noobs in world pvp. But we were 22 and playing 60+ hours a week. We were at the peak of our game.

Now its 2026 and we have to get colonoscopies and worry about blood pressure. We have real jobs, probably families, and definitely can't/won't be grinding the game like a full time job.

But there's a big chunk of people from back in 2005 that never grew up. They are still mentally 22 years old. They don't have real jobs, if they even have a job at all. They still play WoW for 60 hours a week. They have rogue opener stunlocks ingrained in to their muscle memory more deeply than walking at this point.

You're only signing up to be fish in their giant barrel. You're going to be dealing with hundreds of them on every single layer, in every single zone where a reasonable choke point can be found. Zoning in to BRD? Better prep your group for 3-5 death walks to get to the zone in. Your Onyxia raid is gonna be a half an hour late to get through the wall of PvP at the gate.

This doesn't even account for the reality of this being a 'forever' locked level 60. What do you think horizontal progression is going to be for these people? It's going to be sitting in Redridge for 8 hours a day moonfire spamming grey cons.

Scaling does need adjustments still for sure at the lower levels, they expect you to have plenty of spellpower because they cut a lot of the base spell's damage and upped the coefficients a lot

Melee/warriors specifically complaining about scaling is comical though
