Well of course! I will certainly recognize World second and third… after that though… it gets a little watered down.
It will be interesting to compare world firsts with Vanilla too to see how the times compare. I full expect them to be faster in Classic, but you never know.
Not really interested at all. I’m just going to focus on my character and enjoy the game.
Yes I imagine it does after thirteen years and millions of clears.
WoW… that;s something I didn’t know…
Can you share how to get into Vanilla so i can run some trials? I never knew you could log into Vanilla all these years. Geesh… why did they even waste time creating Classic?
You missed it mate, just like you missed the world firsts, those were in 2006 when 1.12 was last released to the public but don’t worry, 1.12 is being rereleased unchanged next month so you can pick up from where the last people to clear the content finished.
Actually… I believe what is being released is 1.13x. Yep just checked.
Well I guess it’s official… World First Classic achievements are a thing. ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
Don’t worry though, We’ll still recognize that others did the very same thing 13 years ago… under much more challenging conditions: Potato computers, 34k phone modems and 2mBit cable, and of course… no Youtube initially.
new methods are out there
you can dungeon grind to 60 in 3 days played now. if you are doing it as efficient as possible. 4 days if you are a little sloppy.
4 days played dungeon grinding is still hella fast;.
method will probably be dungeon grinding and since they are not terrible at the game. they should have a roster of 40+ 60s in under 5 actual days. which gives them 2 days to gear up for MC and just a few hours to finally clear it.
with the new leveling paths we have discovered its 100% doable.
Seems likely. I too wonder how long it’ll take.
Classic is not Vanilla
Facts are your friend.
You’re welcome to 10,000,0001st place and completing x ‘achievement’ though I’d question how it’s an achievement after thirteen years but you will not be getting world firsts, sorry.
As the saying goes, ‘been there, done that, got the t-shirt.’
As the OP admitted referring to retail and patches, adding hot fixes and minor patches to the game doesn’t change the game enough to reset world firsts. 1.13 is the next step in the line from 1.12, which everything is based on, which was completely in 2006, sorry.
It’s still Classic world firsts. Classic is not Vanilla. I know, reading comprehension is hard, when you are still in grade school.
I like how professions keeps gettimg brought up. Not everyone will need to be 300 tailoring for example. Youll likely need 1 simply enough to do when you have guild funneling resources. Youll likely need 2 leatherworkers sure again simple. Maybe a few handful of alchemist so you have a few transmutes before rag. Thats a bit harder but can simply make most leveling professions herbalism. Blacksmitha youll probably need 1 to gear tanks. Engineers will be key. You get 40 people probably getting 2 sets of grenades off per boss fight it ends up being alot of damage. Again though you could have none raid members funneling thorium and stones for this. The hardest part is simply getting that many people to power level to 60.
Speaking from experience clearly and exactly why you slipped yourself up earlier when you acknowledged that patching doesn’t alter the game enough to reset firsts. Your lack of understanding is also reflected in the fact that you cannot grasp what Blizzard have said the point of the project is from day one i.e. to be a recreation of, not a new version of, the original game. Completing an identical copy of an original isn’t being first.
You keep mentioning Vanilla but it’s 1.12 I’m talking about. 1.12 from 2006 is fundamentally the same as 1.12 being used for Classic. Sorry but it’s the same game. Not firsts ![:rofl:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=6" ":rofl:")
. Enjoy being ten million and first to complete x mundane task that’s been done to death .
I know you desperately want to cling to some delusion that you’ll make some monumental achievement to give your sad self some meaning, but the truth is that steamrolling rereleased, thirteen year old content isn’t special and you wouldn’t be the first. 1.12 is 1.12.
I don’t see the point in rushing to 60. Don’t want to end up like one of those people in internet cafes who collapsed or died after playing for 3 days straight.
Some have even managed to do themselves in, within 24 hours of a gaming binge.
It’s not worth it, just for some world first/record.
I’m not playing lawyer, boy. Yes, it’s very very similar, but not the same. Classic world firsts are not current Vanilla firsts. The games are played the same, but they are not the same.
Dude, sorry, but I actually thought of that name on my own and will be reserving it during early character creation.
You could try something like “Notsoljin”, maybe?
Again displaying your complete and utter ignorance. The WoW Classic project is entirely about recreating the original game. It IS the original game. There have been no changes made to the content, classes, mechanics, balancing etc., it’s the same game REreleased.
I know you’re desperate to cling on to these delusions and clearly you must be pretty low to need this so badly, but honestly you’ll feel better when you accept that repeating thirteen year old content doesn’t make you first. Trust me, I am a doctor! Better to accept it now than to be disappointed when you come back to brag about your amazing first Rag kill only to have everyone laugh at you.
As I’ve said countless times and as you’re unable to debunk, 1.12 is 1.12. Confirmed by Blizzard.
The rest of the community already doesn’t really feel this way. Classic world firsts are going to be a thing, even if they’re far less important than OG world firsts or retail world firsts.
I don’t see any evidence of this other than a few posts here. If anything the majority of the posts are ‘nobody cares about firsts in video games.’ I don’t quite subscribe to that but I do have to point out that mathematically, second comes after first, third after second and so forth.
Repeating REreleased, old and unaltered content that has already existed in an identical state in 2096 and which has been cleared countless times already does NOT make you first, fact.
Classic is just a name assigned to a RErelease of a completely identical version of WoW that has already existed and been cleared. 2019 1.12 is 2006 1.12, fact and confirmed by Blizzard.
I mean given that there have been p servers with this content for a decade or more, I don’t see how anyone can gain satisfaction from even attempting speed runs, when some people have had thirteen years to practice and refine the methods etc. Oh look at me, I got to level 60 fastest in the world on release, but I did level ten characters to 60 on p servers for ten years as practice. Yeah real achievement.
This… is the classic community. There isn’t a more popular forum elsewhere.
Classic world firsts will definitely be a thing. The fact that you don’t like it isn’t relevant to the discussion.
I hate to break it to you, but it’s not identical. Not at all. Not that that matters in any meaningful way.
They will be a meaningless thing indeed. I don’t like nor dislike the idea. I’ve stated facts supported by Blizzard interviews, posts and the Blizz Con streams.
Blizz Con streams. Only meaningful in the sense that the entire game is the same as it was in 2006 1.12, a pretty major point and one that Blizzard has confirmed is their emphasis and ultimate design goal.
Sorry, I have everything Blizzard has ever said about Classic to backup the fact that it’s the same game.
Sure they’ve added some layering and the odd thing here and there but they’ve outright refused to meddle with the core game, content, classes, balancing, mechanics etc.
Whether you accept it or not Blizzard’s own words are that this is going to be an authentic 2006 experience ergo the same game. Recreating the original game i.e. copying it accurately, is the aim. The version they’ve used is identical to the version back then, proof of itself.
