Is classic actually classic?

Demonstrably false, 13:15 of his SM:Library run he pops his elixir of greater defense, fortitude and lion’s strength.

It absolutely does. Just look at the difference between the level 24 Battleforge Armor, which as 195 armor. Now look at the level 25 Double Link Tunic, which as 278 armor plus grants an additional 9 defense.

Ah. Typical person that “played” classic but has no record of it. Fyi: i very much doubt you played at all. No achievements

So do a lot of people in the community. Many people are going to be surprised by how easy all of the instanced content is, and that leveling is by far the hardest part of the game, at least in my opinion.

Holy balls. Imagine caring this much for something so trivial.

To be completely fair, that’s not a good indicator. The person could have not played since those days.

It isn’t supposed to be that easy. The devs made mobs do less than half the damage they used to 15 years ago

It isn’t trivial. If they can do sm cathedral at level 30 then it stands to reason that end game content will reflect that. The entire game becomes trivial because mobs do no damage

I think it has to do with the myth that private server players have built up around the game. Vanilla was the age of “mathematically impossible C’thun” and “only blank percent of the population ever beat Naxx!” and so therefor it must be the absolute hardest.

If we can all walk in to a dungeon 10 levels higher … if tank can take hits for moments. Healers barely losing Mana…

That means when we go into a dungeon at the appropriate level it’s going to feel so easy that it’ll not be a challenge

This is your bias showing. I DO NOT CARE WHO IS BETTER AT A VIDEO GAME. the point is if it’s TOO EASY… I will fall asleep at the keyboard… If it’s HARD…I have a reason to stay alert & focus…

This isn’t trying to say ooooo look how good I am playing hard content!!! No!!! I’m begging blizzard to make them difficult enemies again so WE ALL CAN ENJOY IT

Mobs do little to no damage against players who are tricked out in the best gear for their level and a buttload of buffs. I don’t get how you’re not understanding this. If you had all of those conditions, that’s what you were looking at. This is why Twinks were so broken in Battlegrounds was because with the absolute best gear for their level they were massively overtuned against other players who did not care for those things.

You’ve wasted so much time arguing against people who clearly know way more than you do and now all you’re trying to do is stubbornly stand your ground despite every piece of evidence going against you. I’d be impressed with your resilience if it just wasn’t so completely sad.

Another tip - stop using ellipsis so much. It makes you look pretentious.

Yes, clearly. This situation with a full five man of twinks in BiS gear is going to be Replicable by every Tom, Dick, and Harry that wanders in. Never mind the fact that their gear is going to be horribly worse than the twink team. Nope, gotta take everything in a vacuum or else the ego of every private server player will be shattered.

You’re begging blizzard for things that simply never existed. You don’t want an authentic experience. You want your first private server experience. That’s not what you’re getting.

There’s no amount of twinking, or consumables at a 30 cap, or out skill. None of these are factors that matter when the boss is 10-12 levels higher than you

He wasn’t super buffed!!! He has stamina buffs… he occasionally has one defense alchemy pot… I tested this. The same SM library mob lvl 33-34 hits my 34 paladin for 120… hits the 30 warrior for 40…

It’s so wrong. You guys will see when you play it . It feels way too easy

ITT: People discover Twinking and that their private server experience isn’t fact

Look at how biased you are towards people who played the game before you.

Dude

This isn’t about my ego. If I have no one to heal bc mobs do no damage I will not have fun I will not be able to continue playing. That is what I’m trying to avoid. All they have to do is buff enemy damage!!!

You say that there’s no way. Literally everyone else in the topic is arguing that there is.

Who do you think is in the wrong, here?

You can’t twink a lvl 30 to tank hits from lvl 34-42 elites and expect your healer to not oom.

It’s so broken. It’s not twinking you guys.

Okay do what the OP says. Bookmark this thread. Come back in October. You’ll see after release that everyone is unhappy with how easy the difficulty is

The funniest misuse of classic and vanilla was when some people were calling classic beta the vanilla beta. News flash: vanilla beta was 15 years ago!

As people have said in this thread, classic =/= vanilla. At most, classic WoW is a remastered vanilla WoW (as close as Blizzard can get without spending a lot more money on classic dev).

But yes, you could.

Literally posted above was a video from 2006 of the same content being cleared by similarly leveled players.
