(Editors Note: The Thread Title is over exaggerated way of requesting an idea of 5x experience rate servers since that would be the most balanced way for a server like this to exist but for example a 100x experience rate server everyone would be level 70 within a second) Bit of a hot take in my opinion but I tried my first private server thats unfortunately being shutdown because can legally do that :(, but the fasted xp felt really refreshing and since the expansion was in wrath, it felt so nice, enemies felt like they took damage and my mana wouldnt run out unless I popped cd’s (still had to eat food ofc), but idk what it is but the game with a fasted experience felt so fun to do. Im aware of the boost levels in retail where you can pay a triple A worth Level Boost to skip the leveling experience but with retail, i’ve leveled through 5 alts to the max and i dont even think you need a level boost anymore with how fast you can just get up to the max. I wish we had that for classic and had a power creep to feel powerful in a way.. idk… I doubt blizzard directive team or business area sees any potential in a very casual heavy Classic x100 server. I play Classic for the classic graphics, sound design and just everything, now of course the classic experience is heavily slow which for a heavy casual it is extremely hard in my experience to play without feeling like your stuck at the level for 10+ hours and feel like your getting nowhere. Honestly if blizzard added a feature to where we could toggle Old Spell Graphics (Shadow Bolt, DK Blood AoE for an example) along with old Sounds too. I always loved watching old WoW content from like 3.5.5 and hearing everyone casting in a 25 man raid, but if i were to raid now I dont hear much of anything except for my character.
I don’t mind faster leveling and increased gold gain in certain seasonal servers. The gold gain would be especially nice since mounts cost so much.
to me it would make it a lot of fun for everyone who wants the classic experience but modernized like wows current xp rate
With my limited time nowadays I could get behind the idea of faster xp rate however I wouldn’t want it any where near as fast as retail. I wouldn’t want to out level a zone while still have plenty of quest there.
personally id want the Xp rate to be customized to preference, So you can still experience the game in the classic format, but have the option to the maximum xp rate to x5 that way you can level in the zone for a little bit but not enough to be like out leveled the enemies damage or out leveled zone. As an example for westfall most enemies there are level 15, you can be level 12 and still do questing then get high level in the zone probably like around level 20 almost ready for duskwood, but the enemies would still be strong enough to kill you in a way even if you are level 20. idk its weird to explain it, idk know if youd call it scaling because if its scaling the enemy would just be like an equivalent to a level 30 enemy at level 20 and they enemy would take forever to kill for what zone it is in. So idk if its more so a scaling thing rather just wrath spells doing a decent number of damage to where your still weak but not strong enough to one shot everything, youd feel a little powerful in a way.
The problem really is these private servers are BETTER than what Blizzard consistently produces. That’s the elephant in the room…Blizzard’s talent needs overhaul.
Well the only way for anyone to get a better version of wow thats Fun, we would require to petition or somehow get enough talk about it for it to reach blizzard Directives or any sort of upper Corporate hierarchy that they have. But likely Considering how blizzard is, it will be nothing but coping for an official Permanent 3.5.5 x5 rate Server
I feel it’s better for something like Classic+ rather than modifying the original Classic servers, which I’d wager the majority of players there (including myself) want to keep as close to the original experience as possible.
well without a doubt we are getting Classic+ but that wont come out till like a year from now since blizzard has to do a bunch of signing for stuff for the Classic+ petition thats going on atm
Heh.
A turtle has made it to the drain!
Opie, Blizz gives Joyous Journeys often enough.
I think they did add this in retail with chromie time, especially if you want to play woltk. It has all the faster features you want and all the expansions
Good thing about ERA (not the other versions of Classic) is that Era is forever so you got all the time in the world to level, gear, and enjoy the stuff in game. Lots of people in Era have come to that realization and are as a result very chill because there is no impending doom like TBC or the next content patch that will obsolete your gear / progress.
Try SoD, not even joking it may be something you enjoy and its fully different from Vanilla in how it plays, it’s a ton of changes but its Vanilla graphics like Wrath.
The PVE server (wild growth) is making a comeback according to the forums.
Also has accelerated leveling.
No. Ur not allowed to want any changes. This is era we want p6 vanilla stale. No changes. No anything. Don’t you know naxx is harder than being r1 world like team liquid and that the avg era WSG game is harder than being a professional wow pvper who makes 6 figures a year. These are legit things the era community has said and seems to all agree upon.
I keep seeing you say this but nobody else lol. Why are you hyper fixating on this?
I like this mind set but it can be tough to achieve it seeing as how we have been conditioned to run on this hamster wheel for so long now. I do need to adopt it myself.
Then ur blind. You have commented on posts against me that have claimed such things lmao. However I’m starting to learn you can’t win arguments with the era idiots. They unironically think they’re more popular than retail and other versions despite numbers proving otherwise more competitive than retail and all the other versions yet somehow also more casual and chill than the other versions at the same time.
Edit. Not a single era player will respond with them agreeing that era isn’t as competitive as the other versions for some reason.
I mean… I’m literally not seeing a single person bring up competition at all but you. Then when presented with a literal fact you deflect it and talk about mythic raiding guilds racing for world first or ranked PvP as if anyone here is worried about that.
What facts. All I’ve presented are facts. Retail is more popular we have the numbers. Era pvp isn’t competitive because it allows prem vs non prem. That alone makes it non competitive. Mythic raiding in retail is harder than raiding in era. These are facts. Yet you era players think not. Link one thing that shows anything of what I said isn’t true. I have link numbers from ironforge pro. I have linked videos of players in full pre bis pressing fireball all through naxx and parsing an orange. I have not been presented 1 fact that has disproven anything of what I’ve said. Please show something that proves era is more popular than retail, or more competitive in pvp, or the raids at end game are harder.
You’re correct. This is true. And again you’re the only person talking about it. I haven’t seen annyone else bring up any of this. Maybe you talked about this in another thread and you’re taking it out on everyone participating in the forums?
Not according to majority of ur era community. This has been my stance forever. Yet ur one of the few to say this simple sentence. Just admitting what I say is true.
