Is the Hype is dying down

[Maurduke-emerald-dream]

I know, with how Youtube and Google algorithms work, I might be in a bubble and not seeing the newly posted information and videos on classic.
Regardless, I’m not seeing any new content outside of Bellular or “10 things you didn’t know” videos.
Am I just not seeing them or is the hype dying down?
If it is, what is the reason?

I’m still super hyped and would like to see more.

Hype isn’t dying down, and it’ll be higher than ever come August.

It’s just that right now Beta has already been out for a month with capped levels so it’s not like people are seeing new things to make content on that hasn’t already been done 2 weeks ago. You’ll see more stuff as Beta progresses and we get closer to launch.

However the 1.12 AV did underwhelm many.

Hype died for me after watching this trash version of AV known as 1.12.

After 15 years, we still can’t get the original epic AV back they the community wants.

You are such a millennial…

In the meantime there is plenty of work to be done during the beta test. We are not capable of escape velocity yet in terms of readiness. Maybe less hype there would be a positive even.

I am still hyped for the game launch itself.

You are such a millennial…

Blizzard has given us no other way to consume classic content than using the ones that got into the beta as a channel.
I don’t know how that would make me a millennial?
What does that even mean? I thought that was just talking about the year you were born.

The fact that you consider excitement levels by the videos Google and YouTube hand feed you, makes you a millennial, in spirit, if not birth age.

Well I cant go off the forums here, all anyone does is complain or ask what class they should play. Youtube is pretty much the only video content site where things are posted and googling new information is how you find it.

Is there some mail service I should sign up for?

Or is the gatekeeping to strong here?

The hype will be hyping up again Wednesday.

For this stress test, all races and classes will be available for creation, and the maximum character level will be capped …

Various class Discords. Reddit forums. MMO-Champion, various gaming journals…

And mainly, talking to friends.

But even still, even Retail YouTubers and Twitch streamers are all over Classic. If you’re not being hand fed your content about Classic, you need to follow more Classic content creators.

Countdown2Classic, ClassicCast, Esfand, TipsOutBaby, StaySafeTV, MrGM, Taliesin&Evitel, Preach Gaming, ClassicWinds, PlatinumWoW, Crendor, MadSeasonShow just to name a few.

So all the people who prefer the newer AV just aren’t part of the community?

[Twiinkedd-moon-guard]

I talked to this one guy at work today and he is still super excited. The hype lives!

BAHAHAHA, “all the people” as in maybe 10% of the community? While 90% who actually played REAL OG AV have voted and posted on this forum that THEY WANT 1.5 AV back.

Clearly you do not pay attention to these forums or the mindset of a OG vanilla player. Nobody wants 1.12 AV, thats a fact. Troll

[Shimy-khadgar]

That is the sound of a thousand terrible hypes headed this way.

There’s always a bigger hype.

[Wapkgut-skywall (Wapkgut)]

i play vanilla from day 1 , and yes i lost all hype, but i will play classic because in the end of the day is still better of retail wow , i feel i will get a 60% to 70 % of classic , 60% of classic is still better of bfa ( old av is the best )

[Wigglytüff-stormrage]

If it is, what is the reason?

It’s 15 year old content. What did you expect?

[Drunty-tichondrius (Drunty)]

I’m keeping my hype down since we still have like 2.5 months till us normals can actually play

[Opti-ravencrest]

I’m actively trying to kill my hype before it kills me.

Edit: visiting the forums doesn’t help

[Kogarasumaru-moon-guard]

Look man, I’m all for you pushing your "lul OG Vanilla Player opinions are better than most casual players " but this isn’t the way to go about it.

Right now the game can’t suffer a divide between Classic and BfA. A lot of the players coming to Classic WILL be new and they need that helping hand, not a sharp kick to the jaw and told to go on their own. Try to remember that if there are no CRZs, your reputation on a server WILL matter to those around you, and no one wants a toxic Sally ruining their game.
