"Classic will be hard"

When some things age they do tend to harden though.

grease, kid cereal under the car seat, and glue to name a few.

PVE in particular.

this is my classic toon btw. :slight_smile:

Yup because everyone told me I would never raid if I don’t mythic raid. :joy:

That’s cute. No really.

I suppose the difficulty debate is going to vary depending on who you speak to but, I doubt people are asking the game to be impossible for most people.

If the mod is telling you to do something and you do it, is it you playing the game or is it the game playing you?

If all you’re doing is pressing one button while standing still and got the highest DPS in the raid do you feel satisfied with this?

Eh these mechanics are Normal difficulty, maybe Heroic at best. Things just don’t have enough health to really warrant major hang-ups even if half the raid fails a mechanic, if there is even a mechanic to fail. Even in AQ40, there are a lot of fights where the DPS just plant their feet and nuke a target, or a target order.

I’d believe it, only because we had that golden thread about how fast MC would be cleared on release and folks were arguing with a straight face that MAGMADAR would hold everyone up because of a lack of 2nd Tranq shot.

have fun with your mythic ddr

I’ll entertain this when 50% of the posts on general arent crying about not being able to level or do anything in the world without the opposing faction curb stomping them.

This thread looks bizarre swamped by so much crying.

Which part? It seems like it’s hard enough for some people that they are asking for server transfers or saying they will quit.

getting camped isn’t difficult though. just annoying. :stuck_out_tongue:

Have you overcome it? I have, and it was difficult and challenging.

Compared to?

Compared to retail? Leveling is and get from point a to b on PvP server.

Some dungeons hold difficulty of a +5 mythic.

MC first tier around normal or little above do to trash.

World bosses are harder than retail world bosses.

Reason I say leveling you die in classic.

Traveling you get corpse camped.

Certain dungeons in bad orpug groups you may not clear.

MC pull certain trash mobs wipe.
If nobody is following mechanics wipes as in decurse/cc/moving/threat

World bosses in Retail can be solo. Cannot down a world boss unless you have 2 raid groups working together on PvP servers.

i haven’t been on a pvp server since MoP i think. my hunter was on illidan for a bit. i transferred him back to SoE though and was happier. it wasn’t difficult to quest on timeless isle or anything else but i got annoyed with people trying to kill pets i was trying to tame to try to bait me into attacking them.

Overcoming a corpse camping of a horde of players is not a challenge. You’re not learning any useful skill that the developers intended you to learn in order to overcome the designed content.

What you are in fact doing is struggling to just play the game. Any rational person would leave the game as a result.

The gameplay experience is completely broken for some people. I suppose people don’t want to pay money to play a broken game? Could you blame them?

WoW was the easiest-to-play & most casual-friendly MMORPG on the market when it launched in late 2004. That is the reality of it. I remember thinking how simple everything was in WoW when I started to split my time between Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) & WoW back then, in order to play with some DAoC guild friends who transitioned to WoW.

people whine about 1 fp per zone or the few amount of gys but in EQ and stuff you’d delevel when you’d die and couldn’t use your armor. wow has always been the most casual mmo in the universe and has only gotten more so as time goes on. i find it hilarious when people try to talk about how hardcore they are playing wow. lol

WPvP is part of the game.

You go as 5 to 10 man group.

If you think classic is easy retail 99% is a joke.

questing is harder in retail so far than in classic. the raids in retail are harder, even lfr is. pvp is more involved and more difficult. because it’s based on skill not time spent. if you no life anyone can get rank 14 but not everyone can get gladiator.

Playing classic non stop for a month and only lvl 23? Wow. Perhaps classic is too hard for some people.
