I’ve had “your system doesn’t meet requirements” for all of BFA and my wow is running fine. The only really bad loading screen I have is Dalaran. Dungeon loading screens are like 30 seconds and city screens are 1 minute. I can manage
I will get an upgrade probably within the year but I don’t think anyone has to freak out
Making what worse? I used to play FPS games that didn’t meet minimum specs and did just fine. Never had anyone complain.
Precisely. People don’t have to.
And nobody is making excuses. Excuses =/= reasons. That’s a common misconception.
Can I use an SSD with a gaming laptop?
I’m not particularly computer-savvy.
No you are really though. There is a fundamental difference between running, and running well. At bare minimum 1 settings, projected textures off, etc, is barely running, and makes a lot of the game harder for you as you do not see stuff as easily, then stand in bad…
Then as people are depending on you, you also have worse lag, you skip around, etc. You see stuff fine, but do not see everyone else watching you spazz out. We have ALL seen people in LFD with terrible computers causing issues…
Stop making this a fangirl story. And no, no it doesn’t. Some people may not have that extra money and you seem to forget yeah maybe the part is 30$ but what about installation hmm?
There are external ones you can get if your laptop does not have room for an internal installed one. My laptop came with one already installed.
You are quite naive to think there are no partnerships going on.
Most SSD you buy, come with the SATA cable, and most PS have the additional cables to link it up. It is literally a 30sec installation in most cases, IF you don’t care about cable management, and tons of google videos telling what to do.
At this time in the world, if you don’t have a basic working knowledge of computers, it’s because you took no interest in it.
Make a copy of your WoW folder and run it on your HDD, then run it again on your SSD with your main install and see how it feels.
World of Loadcraft is actually tolerable with SSD speeds. Generally though, the entire system is faster when you ditch the mechanical drive, I wasn’t referring to just WoW.
Whatever you say Alex Jones. Never pictured him playing a vulpera but guess I was wrong.
you’re trying so damn hard to white knight for blizz and blame people for not knowing how computers work and to put them together. Lol “at this time in the world.” Please. You assume everyone has the same understanding and ability to understand about computers.
OH look. You were WRONG. Guess Jared here is gonna have to eat his words. Partnerships. You look so foolish. You could of googled that Blizzard had partnerships. What now? https://www.blizzard.com/en-us/company/about/partners.html
Look it up on YouTube. You literally take the sata cable and plug it into the Motherboard and slot the SSD into a drive tray. It takes 2 minutes. You are reaching.
No, no I’m not. If some people don’t want to take the chance of screwing it all up by doing it themselves having a part installed can add a lot on to the cost. I don’t want to mess around with my motherboard and such. You assume because you know how to do it that it will be easy for others because there is a video? There are videos of things I know how to do as well and its logical fallacy to assume it’s going to be easy for everyone to do simply because there is a video for it.
Yes it makes it less noticeable that they can’t make their game correctly anymore
No, not really. SSD’s come relatively cheap now. It’s graphics cards which’re now the real expensive thing.
There’s no chance to be taken. You’re not messing with the Motherboard. You are simply plugging a cable into it. It’s like plugging a phone charger into a wall. It’s literally 1 cable, and you can look it up online too. That’s how I learned how to install/fix PC parts.
At this point in time you seem to have no interest in spending a small sum of money to improve your PC and you don’t care for anyone to help/teach you how. It’s easy to see you came here just to complain, so I’m done here.
It’s an easy, worthwhile install. Huge difference, when I first upgraded from my WoD pc to my legion one with ssd in load times. SSD cable(s) run about another $8 on older models but there are tons of sales around and upcoming. This is a guide for buyers and builders on what min-max specs to aim for when building/upgrading a pc.

According to multiple user reports that were shared on the official forum, the game simply loads much faster when installed on an SSD, but should work just fine on a hard drive for those who have a bit of patience. Remains to see if Blizzard will change the list of minimum system requirements accordingly before the October 27 global launch of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
You should still get an SSD because why punish yourself over using a spinnig disk in 2020, but it seems it will still work on the ancient hard drive.
Do you pay someone to change lightbulbs in your house? You know, screwing around with electricity and all.
