Haven’t played in very long time…Im lvl 44 and was going to start AOE farming for XP ZF…Watched some vids… But the “Safe spaces” aint safe I can tell u that. I’ve died 10 times trying to hide in “reset” places.
First was the first wall u can jump on…well…mobs jump on wall now…
Second was the very first “reset” stones on ground…nope…follwed me rigth in between both…8 times.
Did they fix all the spots?
Blizzard screwed EVERYTHING up.
Yes you cant exploit pathing any more. Need to farm the old fashion way.
There are new spots in other places. Join the mage classic discord:)
They need to fix all of them.
“But since it’s feeling like I won’t be playing WOTLK Reforged”
-That’s fine. You can go play your sweden private server that, as you put it, runs laps around Blizzard.
Back in vanilla classic I did the ZF graveyard solo leveling.
Did 44-52 like that, you would pull the graves then iceblock, you would just run in a small circle using cone of cold.
Was incredibly fun.
Made like 800g in those levels.
I mostly agree. It’s just that Blizzard “fixes” problems in a way that hurt legitimate groups and players, especially lately, like normal groups having CC issues now, and lowbie players in dungeons dinging 1 level too high for mobs in a dungeon while clearing it and therefore no one gets exp.
But since it’s feeling like I won’t be playing WOTLK Reforged I’m kinda cheering for the exploit mages to find more exploit boosts/farms, and then cheering for Blizzard to “fix” them in the worst and most amateur ways imaginable, as every aspect of the game becomes increasingly broken and unplayable from a deadly combination of extremely novice/ignorant devs and completely undeterred mages.
A bunch of whiny babies cried so Blizzard changed it.
awwwwwwww im sorry you can’t be a “hi sir” mage gold seller anymore, here ill play the worlds tiniest violin for you.
It looks like the mobs teleport to you as soon as you go somewhere that would normally force them to evade reset.
I’m not sure if the pathing would still work if you got up there without evading them. As a paladin you could bubble to get up there or you can jump up there from the hill behind without evading them. I’m not sure how you’d find time to open graves doing it that way though. Or how you’d deal with the caster mobs if they followed you up there. Using ZF to level as mage/paladin seems to be a thing of the past now. A shame, it was quite fun when I did it on my mage a year ago.
> ZF farm
> “hi sir” mage
aww poor little Timmy got hurt by the made up boogey man
I do not like them killing solo farms that have existed for this entire time. Also, mobs instantly teleporting to you feels terrible.
If ZF farming is not ok, are they really going to let people solo UK to speed level?
Yep as soon as I hid in a spot…boom…like 4 mobs appeared out of nowhere…
As for those oppposed to AOE Farming…Go be on Alliance lvl 42-50 in Tanaris etc…Then come back and tell me how many times you were ganked by horde.
It is nearly impossible to level right now bc all the lvl 70 toons have nothing to do and are just waiting for WOTLK…
So what do they spend their time doing? Making life very difficult for anyone trying to level.
You might be new to English and this game, but THAT IS the old-fashioned way.
Exploiting pathing is not the old fashion way. It’s an exploitation
Blizzard fixed the mob pathing issue youve been exploiting. Now you need to exp the same way every other class exps. Through quests and dungeon groups
It’s not an exploit if that’s how the game functions. It functioned that way by design. it wasn’t a bug, or a mistake. They MADE it that way. You’re flat out wrong. That would be like saying that interrupting spellcasts on mobs with an (insert interrupt here) is exploiting, making it easier to not die while killing things. That’d be a nope, the game was MADE that way.
They’re only changing it now (which is wasn’t changed in wotlk/tbc original iteration) because they don’t like how it LOOKS some 16 years later. People are more innovative with the acquired knowledge of the game. Classic only stays classic if they LEAVE IT THE WAY IT WAS. It’s not exploiting because it makes you feel icky.
On that same note as paragraph 1, should they change Mage’s ability to farm open world too, because other classes can’t slow massive amounts of mobs and AOE them down? Using YOUR logic, this is also exploiting…
Lastly, without even touching pathing, they destroyed Paladin’s ability to AOE farm as well in dungeons. Was this also exploiting, or being really strong and able to do it with the right items/build and using your abilities in the right way at the right moment?
There’s no way you actually believe this was intentional.
[I just… I can’t deal with the forum’s quote system. I just can’t]
“lowbie players in dungeons dinging 1 level too high for mobs in a dungeon while clearing it and therefore no one gets exp.”
HOW MUCH WORSE IS THIS GOING TO BE WHEN SOME PLAYERS HAVE HEIRLOOMS AND SOME DON’T?
[I guess one might say “Well, everyone’s just gonna buy heirlooms. There are no new players… I don’t know about that though…”]
No no no no NO don’t let them nerf my Mind Control…
