Edit: I’m now playing SoD and I’m having a blast. The rune vendor at lvl 1 is awesome. I will never go back to normal wow’s ridiculous grind and weak classes. SoD = The way.
First off, I played a hunter in SOD back when they raised to cap to 60. It was fantastic. Probably the most fun I’ve ever had in WoW. I generally just enjoy being powerful in any game tbh and runes are awesome. I quit b/c my Ony attunement quest was bugged and despite re-doing the quest 3 times and working with support for 2 weeks, it continued to be bugged and I couldn’t get attuned. That was back in Aug or Sept, I don’t remember…
Then Classic Anniversary launched. I am mad at myself for spending so much time leveling and getting full pre-bis in Classic Anni because I hate it.
I hate the experience grind
I hate the gold grind
I hate not having runes
I hate the army of leather warriors “tanking”, meaning I can’t dps without aggroing.
I hate running the same dungeon 50+ times to get a crap item that doesn’t even compare to anything that SoD offers.
I hate the immature toxicity that exists on Nightslayer Horde. Literally lost faith in humanity.
I hate “HR” “HR” “HR” “HR” “HR” “HR” “HR” “HR” (aka help me rob the bank and I keep all of the cash)
I hate raiding because, let’s wait once a week and maybe get 1 item
And most importantly probably, I hate being weak compared to how powerful I was in SoD.
I just hate classic and I’ll honestly never play it again and I blame SoD for showing me a more fun version of the game.
I’ve played 8 hunters to level 60, all classic (1 of which in SoD). And I’ve never played anything else. I would like to play a paladin.
I don’t know if I’m too burned out to continue WoW but I do know that I’m probably done with my Classic Anni adventure.
So I’m Thinking of playing SoD - Change my Mind or Persuade Me
are SoD
where we don’t know if there is prog past scarlet enclave. so, there is a high possibility you wont get to experience much.
a plus here if you want to play paladin you have more choice in viability in SOD
and fresh
with the way prog is accelerated to basically a new tier every month. its not really worth the investment to raid. Basically its a TBC waiting room
so, my suggestion would be to play SoD for Naxx and Scarlet Enclave and kara crypts then if their is nothing new swap to fresh for TBC.
Well they recently added a rune vendor to the starting areas. So everyone gets all their runes at level 1 now. So now would be the time to level an alt.
Or you could throw your computer in the lake. And become a mobile gamer.
You don’t need persuading. You explained it really well. Lots of pros for playing SoD and zero cons.
(Not knowing if you are burned out on the game in general isn’t a con, it’s a reason to try the mode you think is fun to see if it makes the game fun again).
Sod IS the best version of WoW right now. Its not perfect and still need more changes but its great.
Im grinding the r14 and the Challenge is way easier than in era, shamans are Broken in pvp but i’m having a blast just playing and defending bases to 1200 points in arathi basin as alliance, we get 3 marks that are turn for 7500 honor plus the honor in the bg that is very good. Win rate for alliance is like 20% but taking 1200 points is like a win.
Alliance is always needing feral druids, you Will find spot even in greens as feral.
I only ever played a rogue. I mained 2 rogues at different times because u didn’t have time for anything else. I tried different classes up until lvls 4, 5, 6 or 10 but never past that. This was back in WotLK. I never played Cata or any other expansions for RL reasons.
Then many years later I heard about this SoD thing which was classic WoW but with runes and other things in the original world that make the original game I played much more interesting. I made my rogue again. Leveled him up na did things with him. Then I tried other classes, which made the game new to me in many other ways because I never played any other class, but SoD makes playing them even more fun.
Come back to SoD and play your paly. You will love it. Try other classes also. You will have even more fun.
My whole guild jump ship to Fresh. I joined a new guild to continue with SOD. I’m super happy with SOD. Fresh has nothing for me. I will miss my guildies but you play what you enjoy at the end of the day.
I feel like the shineness of anniversary is quickly fading. Phase 2 has been released without BGs so the game has become a total unplayable gankfest for anyone not a bisgeared lvl 60
it’s a misconception that the undead have died. you see, the undead are actually humans who refused to die. their will is so strong, they stared Death in the face and said, “not today”. the undead are literally the strongest humans that have ascended to greatness. not even Uther was strong enough to defeat death. every undead is a stronger human than Uther.
