Now I See Why People Play Classic

What’s funny is how they brag about making the game accessible, and then do everything they can so it’s actually NOT. I’m in my 50s and have pretty severe arthritis thanks in part to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. I also have some nerve damage. Everything is a speed run, everything has you moving every five seconds (or worse). Bonus points when you have to watch for the Exrtra Action button to pop to click that, too, on top of your rotation and everything else.

And fine, so I just won’t do that content, since players are even nastier if you tell them you have health issues, but are trying your best. Except they make it mandatory for pets, mounts and mog - and collecting is the only thing left for casuals, since uber gear, crafting patterns and titles/achievements are off the table.

Tell me you’ve never done anything but easy content without telling me you’ve never done anything but easy content.

Real retail content has wayyyyyy more cc, stuns, and interrupts needed than classic.

people play classic cause nostalgia. but yea, needing to play DDR on a caster isnt fun.

mega dungeons dont make sense contextually anymore. back when the game had that “adventure” feel which was mostly an illusion and could mostly be attributed to the intentional slowing down of the player (by making them traverse the continent on foot before level 40 for example), vs now when we have flying, portals that can go anywhere and everywhere etc, the sense of adventure is gone. everything is compartmentalized for the sake of convenience which isn’t necessarily a bad thing since modern WoW is more of an ARPG than an MMO
TLDR i dont think it would fit anymore and i dont think the team could pull it off anyway

You aren’t a mythic raider.

I have no reason to read further, you just lied.

Mythic raiders probably have their own secret elite Discord servers or forums somewhere hidden

This forum is for peasants

I’m sorry if we disappoint you

Yea. Except the good gameplay.

So like…2% of retail is really really really hard.

And the other 98% is made for retarded babies.

So overall modern WoW is way too easy.

Of course you hate classic dude. You tried to play it like retail and just spam heroic.

Heroics suck. Always have.

No i dont hate classic i have a 85 rogue lol, and i played since vanilla so no i dont play it like retail

Oh I thought you were just doing heroics in classic wotlk.

Those people I feel like are better off playing retail for M+.

I still feel like diablo 2 skill system is better than anything they released since. I still prefer rest of the gameplay in more recent games though.

No if you read my other posts, i was mainly farming gold in classic for game time since i played all of them

I like to play classic right before bed, because it’s so boring it makes me sleepy.

While I don’t necessary support their tone or their whole argument, nerub ar mythic bosses 1-4 are a notable step down from what we’ve seen in more recent tiers. Also starting with cross realm has meant pugs for 4/8 mythic have been running daily since roughly the second or third week of the tier.

I’d say bliz did a decent job this tier leaving the more complicated stuff for later.

Ulgrax: Dodge swirls at the start, spread with green debuff, soak pull in. Intermission phase kill adds avoid charge.

Horror: Soak frontal in teams, kill adds, move with beam, move from tentacles.

Sikran: Dodge swirl, move out with charge and spread.

Rasha’nan: Move out with web + stay out til it expires. Move out with green lines, swap to adds, dodge breath.

First 4 bosses, even on mythic, are some combination of dodge, hit adds, stack, or spread out.

Really?

Thats why I play retail. Because I can just gather up a bunch of mobs and get ready for bed while they all die to my auto attacks.

Soak mechanics are bad. 99% of them are visually unclear.

The only one thats obvious is when there are bunch of orbs moving towards the boss to heal it.

Every other soak mechanic is :-1:

Also any mechanic that relys you to look at a debuff is a bad mechanic. (Yes that includes tank swapping)

I did read. You said dungeons weren’t linear. I disagree. DM and UBRS were very linear.

You said dungeons weren’t designed to be spammed. I am not sure what means. We did spam them. It was as easy then, as it is now to run a dungeon multiple times back to back.

So you are 100% here to troll and should have your account removed from here. Gotcha! Way to out yourself right there.
