Whats interesting about watching the streamers

Is how focused they are on the actual game. Actually talking about mechanics and how to pull, how to defeat mobs. For effing level 15 quests. It already feels more hardcore than anything modern WoW has produced in a long long time.

They’re by default highlighting why older games actually sold a zillion copies and kept players playing for a long time.

They’re by default highlighting everything wrong with Modern WoW.

I assure you the Modern WoW team is watching, cringing, wondering why… They will never admit to this secret jealousy, nor will they come out and say that “my god Classic is actually good”, but they’re thinking it.

They extra sweaty allright. :bowing_man::bowing_woman::bowing_man::bowing_man:

and wth are these emotes?

Let’s talk class design. I’ve been bouncing between choosing mage or warlock. Both look great…but then I watched a stream of a guy playing a hunter. And I might be going hunter.

This is how you design a class. He’s training his pets. He has to have it gain loyalty, feed it, it gets skill points that he spends. You have to go out, tame other pets, learn their abilities, and then teach those to your main pet. Just so much immersion and rp elements that don’t exist anymore. Even carrying around ammo feels right. And of course those original bow sounds are so much better.

Vanilla was just a great game with great classes, world, mechanics…everything.

Good Hunters are mandatory. Their dps drops off a bit late into vanilla, but you still need a couple - and they’re not horrible. I feel people sometimes leave them off their list because of this though, and it’s a shame.

I’ve always liked the work that you have to put into your pets, which no other class has. It makes them unique. Not just another ranged dps with a big red cooldown.
