Im torn on whether or not to use Questie

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I honestly didn’t pay attention to it at all, and realized in my early to mid-30s that I hadn’t done it. So I just told myself I wouldn’t bother until 40.

But I also, afterword, paid attention to, notably, when and how I died.

And I basically ascertained that there were maybe 2 times that I died that if I had talented out, I may not have (i.e. I would have killed the mobs fast enough to survive either through more DPS to shorten the fight, or more health/dodge/whatever to endure it). The fights were that close.

Otherwise, both solo and in groups, we either clobbered the mobs, or they clobbered us – decisively. Talents wouldn’t have saved me either way.

Kind of jaded me on the whole thing, honestly. Yea, it matters, but, not really.

At one point, being I was a disenchanter (I had enchanting-1 so I could DE drops), I obviously managed to swap out a green leather piece for my blue plate piece, and subsequently DE’d it thinking it was just an extra drop.

I have no idea how long I ran around as a L60 warrior with a L40ish green leather chest piece instead of an L55+ish blue plate piece. Someone noticed while waiting for the boat in Menethil. Whenever it happened, I didn’t notice it missing.

Mobs dies, I didn’t. Since I didn’t run around running meters, my basis of performance was pretty simple. “Did I die? No? Doing good then!”

In the end, I honestly don’t recall when I talented up at 40 if I noticed much of a difference. The biggest difference I noticed at the time was the Whirlwind Axe – it’s such an OP weapon at that stage of leveling. It’s just – POW! WHAM! You can feel that sucker.

Talents? I’m sure I measurably performed better, can’t say I noticeably performed better.

Ah yes we all had our newbie phase, mine mostly involved being a clicker and a tank that stacked agility. Groups didnt like me…i dont blame them.

I like your story better tho :grin:

Play it the way you want but really the reason to play WoW Classic is to get the original experience so no Questie for me. No way … nadda!

45

You mean you dont have every quest memorized from 15 years ago still?

Oh, I was always a clicker/keyboard turner :slight_smile:.

I’m still a keyboard turner, but I have my action bar mapped to my numeric keypad. I probably started doing that in Cata.

And, honestly, save for the time I was trying to tank with a Mace that I had zero weapon skill in (Not only is the mace low level, you can’t even use it!), and thus couldn’t hold ANY aggro, I never had a problem with groups.

Compromise, do without Questie but keep a couple of guides on hand for those tough to find/finish quests. At least for your first toon, then you can change up after if you feel like it.

49

is that the old addon that had that arror on ur screen and it turned different colors depending on the distance u were from the quest target?

Why the need to use questie if you have played vanilla before

51

I believe that’s a recent (maybe not) add on that just puts highlights on the map of where all available quests are as well as the quest items for the current quests. Haven’t looked it up just seen it mentioned in a few sites so I may be wrong.

52

First of all, warrior leveling isn’t that slow. Second, if you’re hesitant, just don’t use it. Ask somebody in the game. If that doesn’t work out, then go online.

53

Questie has been around forever in one form or another. But if you have played before you should remember all quest objective locations.

Oh anddddd compared to other classes warriors are slow levelers

54

Quest markers?

55

Don’t. The fun and excitement comes from figuring the quests out on your own. You’ll thank yourself later for not using it.

56

I’ll be using it.
only because i’m so used to hitting M and looking on map for where i have to go now.

57

OP - Only you can determine this for yourself. Everyone who is responding is basically just giving you their opinion. You must form your own opinion. You know what questie is, so you you have the information you already need to make an informed decision. There is no wrong decision. Play how ‘you’ like.

90% of the time questing in vanilla was spent searching thotbot for quest locations. People saying using questie cheapens the experienfe are literally full of crap.

59

Ok so everyone who feels they will “fall behind” because of not using a questing add on are completely wrong. Lets say that an average leveling experience is 6-7 days. Fast is 5.5 days. That’s like a 8-20% difference. on average youll probably need to do ~8 quests a level (really how many quests do you not get a full bar of exp from). that’s 480 quests which actually sounds like ALOT more then I would expect to do since Id assume 8 quests a level is more appropriate for levels 30+ if you spend 2 minutes reading each quest then you are spending 16 hours reading quests. If you have to search wowhead for 5% of those quests and get the information that way you will spend approximently 18 hours instead of 16. Overall questie will dimish your leveling experience by making you just following markers and make it a 6-7 day grind rather then a 6-7 day story.

Good times.

No need for addon, just follow the corpses.
