New player

Title says it. I just bought a new comp at the beginning of summer. Ready to try retail again. Leveled up a few characters to choose from and then waited.

While I did so, one of my customers at work said, “oh I play the HC mode” I rolled my eyes, Like “yea, never trying that, but glad you like it.” Fast forward some weeks, this is the only version of wow I may ever try again.

I’m not going to say the usual thing but ok, I’ll say it. Other versions feel like mobile gaming. Get on the treadmill for this many hours, then we’ll let you into the deep end of the pool,…maybe, if you’re lucky.

Meanwhile in HC, every item, every passer by, every fight, every invite, every dungeon adds something to the experience. I don’t have to wait to get it some other time. I get it, right at log in, didn’t have to queue for it, … doesn’t matter, level 6 centaur, Venture Co mines, hit the raid music its do or die right now.

For some, it’s a bit much, but for me it’s unequaled in gaming. I will continue to support retail, and sub, and I actually bought the expac to play but it’s just not as enjoyable as this experience. So thanks all the HC players out there you make the experience just as much as the classic content.
