So what is everyone playing in season of mastery?

[Manuredps-whitemane]

You guys seriously underestimate how popular fresh start servers are lmfao.

[Coacholsson-grobbulus]

You sound tough. That’s hot.

The majority have quit tbc because it sucks and the attunements are impossible now. Every server except benediction is dead for alliance. I know I for sure am playing season of mastery!

The majority have quit TBC because they can’t faceroll.

Once they see that season of mastery is classic but worse they will quit it too.

This thread is cringe as OP.

I’m replying to this comment (and the thread in general) but the OP was basically a troll OR he posted in the wrong forum so it’s fine that people are disagreeing with him. Most of the people I know who play TBCC will not be playing SoM.

I don’t know how well it will do either. SoM may fail. I’m going to play it anyway because I have time to do so and it doesn’t cost extra. I can get a “full game experience” in TBCC (in other words - clearing the raids with my guild, 10 arena games with friends) in about 6 hours a week if I want.

Massive cope thread. Classic is trash compared to TBC. Raids are a joke and the hybrid dps specs are not viable, pvp is a ranking grind just spamming bg’s with a premade, not competitive and very dull, only reason I was able to get r13 was because of COVID, who the heck has time for that? Classic was only fun 1 time but in no way in hell I would ever play that again.

Also the majority didn’t quit, they transferred to mega servers. Big cope.

Raiding is good in TBCC I’ll give you that. The current raid content can also be cleared in a few hours depending on the raid group and that’s it for the week. After that raid, I’d say about 85% of the population logs off and does other things until the next week. This is good or bad depending on what you like. Retail raiding is also good but it comes with chores so things are the opposite.

As for PVP, I know a lot of people playing SoM for PVP. I’ve unfortunately found the TBCC PVP experience to be not great and mostly unenjoyable for what I want. I am playing SoM mainly to have a world environment I find fun and be around an actual PVP community.

TBCC obviously has arenas and I can tell from your previous posts that you’re a big arena player so that’s fine and I respect people who love arenas, but believe it or not different people like different things.

I’ve found both BGs and the world environment to be pretty boring in TBCC. BGs are one side that gives up most of the time therefore for me the vast majority of BGs are not fun at all. The world environment, well there is no wpvp on a 99% server so it’s boring. The server Discords are boring because there is no faction rivalry there. it’s just guilds attacking each other for clear speeds which is meh. So yes I find all of this to be very boring.

So that’s my take on it. There are people playing SoM that didn’t want to play Classic again right away for a reason.

unfortunately for me, the raid log time allowed me to discover ffxiv and so thats what i’ll be playing instead of som

I’m sorry to hear that.

[Fullsquat-whitemane]

haha its definitely not for everyone thats for sure

[Manuredps-whitemane]

The full scripted raids is what I don’t like.

Every boss is always the same for everyone.

[Donkles-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Starting a new job, gonna have drastically less playtime, so won’t be rolling pvp server.

[Manuredps-whitemane]

I will protect you

[Fullsquat-whitemane]

it’s like a really long and interactive netflix show for me. final fantasy was fun for me as a kid so the appeal is there in that way

[Accolades-myzrael]

People saying it will die in 3-4 weeks are being way too hopeful. SoM won’t last past 2 weeks before it dies. I wouldn’t waste my time if I were you. If you are sick of TBC just wait for WOTLK Classic… don’t go backwards…

[Manuredps-whitemane]

Keep huffing the copium rofl.

Prog servers have always done well.

Fresh starts are a massive attraction not people’s even EverQuest pulls in massive numbers every year because they launch a new prog server every March.

Y’all really are clueless when it comes to new prog servers.

[Manuredps-whitemane]

I loved all the old FF games FFX being my favorite, it’s a shame the franchise went away from turn based combat.

I think Som will do OK too, I don’t know for sure. It doesn’t cost extra so whatever.

People seem to want SoM to fail because they aren’t going to be playing it. I don’t really get that attitude of wanting it to fail or being nasty to those who want to play it (You are just playing SoM because you aren’t as skilled as me!!) but I guess I can see them responding to the OP like that since it’s a troll.

[Donkles-bloodsail-buccaneers]

SoM will do fine. Just recently private servers for vanilla opened and did well.

This is to compete with those, not TBC.

[Accolades-myzrael]

Private servers attract a different crowd of people and mostly International players. But good luck to you SoM fans I hope you get what you are hoping for.

[Pentanse-stormrage]

I won’t be playing SoM. Sounds awful and short lived. TBC is still fun for now. I’d play purely retail before considering vanilla classic.

And if I wanted vanilla classic I’d be playing it right now. SoM is clearly not for players like me because I don’t understand the desire for FRESH. Better things to do with my time.

[Manuredps-whitemane]

The goal of it is to just have fun I don’t know why people dig so far into meaning of things that’s literally the goal of these progression servers no matter which one you’re on.

Nothing you do on any of them transfers into retail so eventually you will quit because the game will get to a point you don’t like either by an expansion or another reason…
