Then the guild was resurrected on Hyjal but who some would call the greatest guild leader since the dawn of time. Notable achievement was making a reddit post about his off tank and humiliating him

The biggest off tank in Hyjal was a Tauren named Teclicen. Something like that, at least. He didn't like me. But I do remember helping Sean get the AQ anywhere beetle mount. Hell, a lot of us did the various quests with him for that.

You can hear the rain hitting the roof inside buildings in Darkshire. That's a nice touch.

You should see a single line in your chat that said "You have learned [Dust]" or whatever. Usually only need the pet to use the ability once or twice before you learn it. I grabbed 3 pets for abilities yesterday and only needed to own them for like a minute each.

It was in the ability list after I swapped pets, sadly the pet I got the ability for also will not use it automatically.

there has to be a fucking bug when doing quest in a group. It feels like quest item drop rates plummet to low single digits % while being grouped. About 70% of the mobs kill you can't even loot. Got fed up after 15 min of doing a single quest in group, left and killed 7 mobs to get the final 3 quest items in about 2 minutes. Something is not right here. Them fucking with dungeon xp and stuff, they probably ninja nerfed dungeon quest item dop rates as well but the "fix" went live on all groups and not just dungeons ones.

I didn't have problems with drops, but I went 5 for 5 on layers getting worse every single time I joined a group for quests.

I would be happy soloing and it was lightly / moderately populated. As soon as I got an invite to do the quest I phased into a layer with dozens of people trying to do the same.

I have never felt more hatred for my fellow man than when the sixth player walks up to the Escort quest spawn point you've been waiting at with your group full

They added a lot of new dungeons, raids and zones. Redid all the talent trees so all specs seem to be viable now. Added new skills. Upgraded the graphics. New race. Both factions can be sham/pally. Game will never advance to TBC expansion and will stay at lvl 60.

So is this following a totally different expansion schedule? Or is the intent that it gives people something to fuck with for a few months and then it dies after they've funded the next retail expansion?

Its on its own timeline and will keep seeing new development.

Getting kind of fed up. The quests still being shit is annoying after they made so many great changes for classes/dungeons etc.. Layering isnt enough when you have 20 people running around an area with 20 mobs that you need a drop from that has maybe a 50% chance to drop. They unfuck dungeon grinding yet? I'd rather just do that or find a quiet place to farm.

How much can you really stuff into classic before it starts becoming meaningless glut? Part of the "charm" of WoW forever is that leveling is a pretty serious slog so I don't expect people to have a lot of alt 60s so how many people are actually going to see new pre-60 content? Adding more lvl 60 Dungeons is hard because only casuals need the loot (ICC dungeon loot was only a few ilvls higher than Naxx 25) and I remember Magister's Terrace being considered too hard by a lot of casual players so it's a tricky thing to balance. You can't really tack on more raids either or else you run into the same problem that expansion resets were meant to solve in the first place.

I think capping the usable legacy points system is an attempt to have people start alts for points when new low/mid level content drops instead of just sperging out and maxing their alt roster early.

These are all the same questions I have - which is why I'm beginning to wonder if this is just a cash grab to fund retail expansions, which then circles back into a new dungeon for Forever, etc.

It would be colossally stupid for them to just leave all their expansion content totally unused for future development. That's why the whole, "We're not doing TBC" thing has me side-eyeing so hard. I didn't know the devs actually said that. I thought the plan for Forever was essentially to just follow expansion unlocks and continue with the whole, "Same same but different" thing they have going.

Server feels a bit rough. Several disconnects in the past couple hours, now there is a queue and when I got past that, the game seems to be hung on retrieving characters.

It die? Was about to loot a quest obj after going through all these elite mobs, went to click the barrel, and DC. Now its stuck on retrieving character list. First hiccup at least so far for this launch for me.

Was classic just 'vanilla but with all the modern QoL and dumbing down'? Yeah I don't get the appeal of 'give me the original shitty WoW experience but also dont give me any new shit and leave me trapped in it forever'. In fact I don't get the appeal of 'give me the original shitty experience' at all, this year I played EQ for the first time since I quit during GoD and if it had been anything like the actual 2004 EQ experience I would have quit within an hour. I can be a sucker for nostalgia like everyone else but there are limits.
