Was in a server first raiding guild for the duration of original TBC.
It took most of us 2 - 3 weeks to hit 70.
Massive fall out waiting for Black Temple to launch - huge number of players quit the game out of boredom.
Now imagine what it’s going to be like with the game already totally mapped out and PTR’d by people.
Took us a good while just to clear Karazhan, people were clearing it the weekend of launch in this iteration, lol.
I transferred and joined a guild already raiding SSC back originally, and just carried on from there through the rest of the game.
This time, I cleared Kara the first week of release, and…outside of farming Kara/Gruul/Mag, I have nothing else to do.
Big yikes lol.
Yee, if you don’t PvP TBC is a raid logging expansion at best and a massive burn out 4 weeks in at worst.
Yeah, I ranted enough yesterday on teh state of ‘horde side’ pvp. Sooo looks like a reroll is in my near future.
Best time to start is at the beginning of an expansion.
Guys. playing the game 8 hours a day every day is not normal. Being 70 by now is not a normal pace, it is too fast. Some of yall ground out dungeons to 70 and maxed your reps at the same time and are already farming heroics.
Just stop, the average player hasn’t even hit 70 let alone progressed into heroics and raids.
Go outside, touch some grass, call your family.
8 hours a day - lol - casual.
Nothing wrong with that kind of game; just not what I enjoy. To me that’s kinda boring; it’s actually why I don’t care for mythic+ because that’s kinda what it is just with a timer and difficulty increases as you memorize the content and patterns.
If dungeons took 2 hrs to clear like I would have them tuned if it were me doing the tuning; then 95% of the players would avoid PvE and that’s not good for the game.
I thought about it a bit, but after seeing the end result of such a stellar and high quality BETA test and the flawless state of game play I’m going to leave after TBC.
It’s kinda terrible when the naughty servers have a better working game engine.
Karazhan is possibly the longest raid ever created in all of WoW history WTF.
Did you assume they would be difficult after knowing all about them for 15+ years? The point I made was “I want to go fast” crowd complete stuff fast then complain. Guess that was over your head.
Sure you did/do.
Kara trash is infinitely more entertaining than corehounds,elementals and giants.
I feel like we went over this yesterday!
I mean this is why I havent reached 70 yet, why “hurry up and wait” when I can pace myself a few hours a week and still clear all the content before the next phase lands?
People need to understand wow in general isnt a sprint, if you want you can consume everything wow (retail or classic) has to offer in a week or over the course of the patch.
Think about it most patches or classic release cycles are
0-2 dungeons
1-3 raids
And maybe some story content
A person can consume all of this in a few days and with in a couple of weeks be bored.
Nothing in wow was designed to consume more than a few hours a week
I give it 1-2 months.
Classic releases (with MC) on 8/26/2019.
BWL released on 2/13/30.
So actually just about 6 months, not 3-4.
trust me, you are a hardcore gamer, fam
Go away theres literally thousands of players who arent even 70 yet.
yeah. seriously, even just being lvl 70 at this point means you have been playing way too much. this might be surprising/disconcerting for some people to hear but it’s the truth
