I’m currently playing alliance on Sulfuras, a horde dominated server. There’s plenty of community here, and I’ve had no trouble getting dungeon groups together at almost all hours once I found a network of people who like to run dungeons, which didn’t take long at all. Use the current LFG tool. Whisper people. Make acquaintances. Make friends.
If all you folks whining about the lack of the RDF tool bothered to even hit each other up most of you wouldn’t have trouble getting groups together.
It’s certainly possible I missed something as I haven’t been back in the game too long, but I haven’t seen any evidence or mention of raids being harder than they were the first time around.
To the contrary, Classic WotLK is based on patch 3.3.5, and a number of changes were made by then to make things easier. Moreover, while the 3.4.1 Classic patch notes say they’re using unnerfed 3.1 Ulduar they still went ahead and buffed items found in Ulduar, a 1000% unnecessary move which makes things easier…
The main flaw of this current LFG tool is it relies on server population. Low server population the tool is useless. High server population the tool does what it’s meant to do. Blizzard just has to stop releasing so many servers at launch.
They did buff both Naxx and Sartharian in phase 1 (I don’t know about Malygos). I don’t remember the exact numbers and don’t care to look them up, but I think it was 20-25%.
Good point about the item level, but they also made other changes here and there such as reducing the enrage timer on Razorscale below what was in pre-nerf, it wasn’t just a pre-nerf release. Right now at the end of P2 and in P3 is the easiest it has been in WOTLKC.
I would rather you not play classic then. The game is much better and the community aspect is actually alive and well in the game as opposed to the game you currently play.
If they buffed Naxx 80, awesome. It was stupid easy the first time around, and really just an ugly shadow of what Naxx 60 had been.
My hope for ICC is no nerfing it via the ‘Strength of Wrynn’/‘Hellscream’s Warsong’ nonsense. I’m fully expecting them to nerf it in some way at some point, if not right off the bat, but it certainly would be nice if they didn’t.
‘Strength of Wrynn’/‘Hellscream’s Warsong’ was kind of the last straw I think for a lot of people in progression raiding back in the day. Most mid-top end raiding guilds began hemorrhaging people not long after it debuted. Cata always gets the credit because that’s when the subs began to dwindle, but people stopped playing en mass during WotLK. Just keeping their sub going hoping Blizz would undo at least some of the BS (such as the RDF) that they implemented over the course of WotLK and latter BC.
Anyways… I came back in part to raid ICC again as much as I can before they potentially bring in the nerfs. It’s a hella fun instance in it’s unnerfed state (something that could said about many things in this game).
Somebody forgot how awful it was at the beginning of Cata. The cesspool of bad players in LFD unaware of any mechanics, especially tanks on Ozruk. They had to nerf the dungeons because of that catastrophic experience.
People were all making their own group to bypass the LFD ilvl restrictions anyways.
i knew some simpleton was going to make this comment lmao.
blizzard: we arent adding rdf.
you: guys i think they might add rdf!
no it wasnt lmao. it entered the game in wrath.
there was no classic. we are playing classic now. this is classic. those were just… the game?
you guys like to act like youre so smart and clever and know what’s best but can’t even grasp the simple concept of wow classic. it is not a re release of the original wow.
they’re way past that already.
no matter how much fake iq you burp into these forums, you arent going to convince the game designers that you know better and that they need to make it your way.
no matter what useless response you can think up, might make you feel better in the moment but you’ll still log into wow classic to no rdf.
I can’t predict the future lottery numbers but I can read and use common sense lol.
So that is a yes to the crystal ball? Because you clearly knew someone would make this comment.
Thanks for being stupid and making every argument you’ve made absolutely irrelevant and inconsequential.
It seems to me that you’re suffering the Dunning Krueger effect.
Classic is literally supposed to be a re-release of the state of wow during that time. You’re slight mind cannot comprehend that. You’re to busy posturing and trolling.
The term would be “belch”. I’m sorry that you have a limited vocabulary (while the rest have a cacoethes for epeolatry).
The game designers are not the ones we need to appeal to (but you would not understand that since it is outside of a multi synapse function).
You’re correct on at least one thing. I log on to no RDF.
Clearly you cannot and as evident, the public education system has failed you and done you no favors.
That would be less of a problem now. At least from retail converts.
We are well aware how these dungeons get. Cata week for Timewalking is actually…quite popular. Retailers have seen these. Quite often.
Where else in wow can you at least pretend to drop Jaina and Sylvanas. Cata is the one place…they don’t have plate armour so thick its ridiculous. Now it is just aspects of them…but you take what you can get lol.
No it’s not lol. That’s just what you want it to be. But it’s not, and it never will be. This was my entire point but you just had to top yourself with that entire embarrassing response lmao
Before every change blizzard made to the game there was someone like you who said it was never going to happen. The multiboxers were especially cocky about it. They linked blue post after blue post with multiple devs saying blizzard was never going to ban key repeater software. They were like you, they acted like they were so smart and clever. When blizzard banned key repeater software they all disappeared.
Yea dont add RDF. Its fun watching all these people make back to back threads complaining about it. Gives them something to do.
No. That is an absolute myth. I have said here multiple times that I do it, I even told Blizz in a ticket that I was going to play on one if they didn’t start making Classic actual Classic again. You can say you do it here and they cannot ban you just by that. They have software that they put on your PC to see if you play on any such servers, if they find you that way, THEN you are banned. Saying you have done something is not proof you have done something.
