Hey Blizzard, Classic Dungeons Are Fun

[Kem-bleeding-hollow]

We plan to clear most of the tiers except maybe Naxx40 in one day.

I’m also not going to be raiding with my retail casual guild. My old CE guild is reforming for Classic and we’re merging with our sister guild that was one of our top server competitors in WoD and Legion. It’s going to get destroyed.

You got proved wrong on multiple points, also you name called first not me. GGnoRE

Check out the wiki over on the Classic forums, while launch will be patch 1.12 just before BC. The raid/endgame dungeons are going to unlock in chunks. Only MC, Onyxia and Maraudon will be available at launch, apparently.

***EVERYTHING We Definitively Know about Classic***

NOTE ADDED 4/8/2019: UNTIL MY TRUST LEVEL INCREASES I AM REMOVING ALL LINKS FROM THE OP SO I CAN KEEP THE LIST(S) UPDATED AND CURRENT. Hey all - I wanted to put together a mega-thread that will put the majority of the CONFIRMED information into a single place to both help people new to the board, as well as dispel any fake rumors or information. I will be attempting to put in links for citation, but it will require both digging them up and validating the information, as well as figuring out ho…

I can’t wait for the world first 60 race.

I’m not going to be a world first because I fully intend to be 300 cooking and fishing when I get to the end, with enchanting and tailoring already half finished…because mama needs gold, y’all.

That said, I’ll be 60 within a week of opening. I remember the zone order I used. I’m a much, much better player in 2019 than I was in 2005.

We’re going to conquer old Azeroth and just slaughter that content this go around, and it’s going to be SO FUN.

Will there be UI replacement Addons such as Bartender for Classic?

So I’m using a coordinates addon right now that works in Classic. I’ve got a couple addon developers in my guild and they’re hard at work. One of them told us yesterday that there were 15 (and growing) functional addons for Classic. I was under the impression that the full scope of what addons do isn’t going to be available, but I’m not certain what features are going to be missing (if any).

[Huntillia-proudmoore (Huntillia)]

Not a huge fan of ElvUI but it’s better than the standard UI. I just hope Bartender, which isn’t really a UI replacement more of a action bar replacement, will have a Classic version. Hopefully, MoveAnything will have a Classic version, too.

ElvUI is already working on their mod for Classic, so yes. /squeals and rubs hands together

Pfft, Spartan UI or bust!

Damn, ya’ll actually got me excited, now.

[Diro-stonemaul (Diro)]

lol?

Yeah, LoL. I wasn’t talking about Baroness when I made the statement about 6 abilities.

But since you are fixated on Baroness, here’s her ability list:

• Banshee Curse
• Banshee Wail
• Domination
• Silence

Well we get it for just having an active sub, I’d imagine folks are going to dabble. I plan to tinker in Classic super casually as a ‘catch a breather game’.

This thread is insane.

After reading a lot of posts and thinking about it, I’m reminded of an early announcement regarding M+. At one point (to the best of my memory), there were plans to have no time limit and to have M+ be about how far you can get rather than if you can complete it in a timed trial.

Coming after Challenge Modes, I thought that would be an amazing change of pace! Instead, M+ is just a ceilingless Challenge Mode.

That doesn’t make it a bad thing, but I can understand what people are craving here, and I think a M+ version that has no speed components would scratch that itch.

Something that scales eternally but has no time limit. CC has to be done, interrupts have to be crisp, any butt pulls will be the end of your life. But you just get up and try again until you just can’t take it anymore.

It should be a separate thing from M+ as well. I love my speed dungeons, but I think it would be an amazing new mode of playing scaling dungeons!

Oh my only plan is to power to 30 and sit in Ashenvale ganking 19s as they come in.

By the way, ya’ll, it looks like speedruns are still taking somewhere around 3-4 days played to go 1-60 so don’t expect to dominate the first week.

[Avagon-sisters-of-elune]

Hey you’re free to believe what you want, I’m not going anywhere, I’m just not going to engage with fallacious garbage. As I said, when you have substantive points to make I’ll be here.

Yeah, LoL. I wasn’t talking about Baroness when I made the statement about 6 abilities.

But since you asked, here’s another one:

Baroness Anastari

• When she is in her banshee form, nuke as fast and hard as possible. This will limit the number of possession cycles that she goes through.
• She will possess a random party member every so often, taking her out of combat. You have two choices to get her out of the party member:
◦ Damage the possessed party member until they reach 50% of their health. Don’t worry—once possession ends, the party member will receive a full heal.
◦ Crowd control the possessed party member until possession fades. While possessed, the party member is susceptible to all forms of humanoid crowd control. This method is less of a strain on your party, but prolongs the fight. Also, her possession ability is on a timer, so the longer she spends possessing on each cycle, the less time you have to damage her before the next cycle.
◦ Mages can use  [Ice Block] and Paladins can use  [Divine Shield] to clear the possession on themselves.
• She has a tendency to use powerful cooldowns when she possesses a player. If you can, go ahead and use those cooldowns during the fight, since it’s better to use them against her than against your party.
• In a similar vein, Priests, Warlocks, and Warriors should try to use their AOE  [Fear] every time the timer is up. It will have no effect on the Baroness, but it can be disastrous if used against your party.
• Healers who are used to using big, mana-efficient heals when the tank is low on health may want to adjust their tactics for this fight. If the healer is possessed before he or she can cast that big heal, the tank can be in a dangerous position during that possession cycle. Keep a HoT up on the tank, and keep his health relatively high.

That was you saying “here’s another one after talking about Baron” and pointing at Baroness. I was responding to what you posted. I don’t care about what you’re trying to backpedal into now.

This guy gets it.

[Meriweather-thunderlord]

I absolutely agree. Like 100%. I’d like to see huge dungeons like Dire Maul and BRD with modern mechanics and skill/gear checks that scale to make it punishing.

Naxx 40 was punishing. That thing was terrihard. The first night we went in there and the trash mobs just deleted our raid…we knew we were in for some fun. Challenge isn’t bad. Different types of challenges are good.

I would be so down for a dungeon system like that Faisia.

Where’s the quote about 6 abilities in this mess of a post you have here?

You filthy casual. Won’t even go to Hillsbrad Foothills to do your ganking.

[Meriweather-thunderlord]

Man! She said it before I could. Sigh.

Let the gatekeeping begin muhahahaha.

Hey, Southshore/Tarren Mill is where the best shenanigans were found.
