“The WoW Killer turned out to be WoW”

Almost there folks. No arenas but class design will more than make up for it. See ya there! :grinning:

Yeah but you’ll have double the abilities you have on live.

So really it will feel like leveling from lvl 120-240. Worth it imo

class design might not have been the best considering, you know, this was blizzard’s first attempt at an mmo and there are plenty of rough edges, but the design philosophies and the passion is all there.

waaay more than can be said about wow after 2012.

I agree with u but I like the 2nd half a mop. :man_shrugging:

I totally get the appeal to classic but I wish people didn’t make such erroneous statements like you’ll have twice the buttons to press lol. Not including engineering, watch the duel tournament. Most of not every spell used can be used on live now. I mean classic was great in its own right, but let’s not pretend it was perfect and had complete balance. It was very slow to play and didn’t have that many buttons to actually press lol.

Laughs in Blonde Hair Human Male Paladin, named Xarthasxx.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA.

Had enough buttons to please tons of players tbh. And class design was x100 better than what we have in retail. Slow sure, but was fun and encouraged creative and customized gameplay.

I’m not saying it doesn’t have enough, it just doesn’t necessarily have more than retail. You can look up the skill lists and compare. That’s all I’m saying. It does offer rather unique play styles simply because the pacing is so much slower and there’s less buttons to use to react with.

Again classic was awesome, I certainly loved it and it’s much more “rpg-ish” than retail and offers an immersive experience that caters to the feeling of progression and community. It’s great. But it’s greatness did absolutely not come from it’s breath-taking combat or pvp.

which means triple the keybinds

Well look at warriors. You get all abilities from Fury, Arms, Prot instead of the ones you only get pertaining to your spec now on live.

So instead of double the abilities I guess I should have said triple. My mistake.

If you played vanilla, you know it won’t work like that. All druids technically have solar wrath too but it doesn’t mean it’ll be an actual button to press; and that’s the one example that probably closest to your argument being that they were in a bad spot for pvp and were quintessential hybrids.

I’m just saying if you talk like this you’re going to disappoint so many people who’ve never experienced classic lol. They’re not going to go in there and suddenly have 3x the keybinds. It simply won’t work that way. Again… look at the duel tournament lol. They press the same few buttons just like now.

Edit: before this details I’m just gonna say, agree to disagree. I mean I loved classic and I’ll give it a shot and see if it gives me the same enjoyment it used to; I just won’t be going for the pvp experience per se. most early wow videos were literally one shot montages. Not the over used meaning used today, but literal deletions from rogues and enh and wars and such. I just personally don’t believe it had this huge depth people think it did.

People are still doomsdaying about Classic while Blizzard is panic adding more servers to accommodate the full pop servers all while Classic is still unreleased.

Vanilla feels like an RPG.
Retail feels like an Action Game with a grind.

I’ll literally only do arenas and an M10 on my warrior weekly once Classic drops. Still prefer if they fixed retail, but whatever.

Good luck with that, pretty sure healing in classic for PvP is worst than anything you could experience

its not even a question Classic had way more buttons. Some were situational and some were multiples of the same spells different ranks. But you either never have played classic or you didnt use your abilities if you think it had less abilities. Paladin has less dps abilities for example but the amount of utility spells totals way higher then what paladin has now. Pallys also have one of the most keybinds in pvp currently on retail. The only argument I can think of is rogue has less. So sure if your a rogue you have less.
