I disagree with the nostalgic being the main reason because I started playing in 2019 with no experience to original Wow up until 2019 and after TBC,Wrath and now Cata I can whole heartily say Classic Wow is just a better version of the game.
Strongly disagree. Classic leveling is better but the one button rotations and non-viable specs are bad. As someone that has played since 2005 and enjoys multiple versions and expansions...retail is 100x better.
@@daltonnelson94 I think Classic is better than Retail, tho retail have better dungeons and raids. I’ve spent a lot of time playing retail-raiding, pushing Mythic+, and even reaching one of the highest item levels on my server. Despite all that, retail feels like a theme park. It gets boring quickly. The lack of community is a major downside; unless you’re lucky enough to have good friends in a guild, there’s little sense of connection. In contrast, Classic forces you to socialize, and the open-world experience is infinitely more engaging. I also prefer the battlegrounds and open-world PvP in Classic-it’s far more exciting and immersive compared to retail. I do enjoy Mythic+ and raiding, but running the same dungeons over and over gets repetitive fast. That said, while Classic can also get stale after completing a raid once or twice, at least the journey to that point is genuinely enjoyable-something I just don’t feel with retail.
@@daltonnelson94 I understand but disagree with the logic that complexity is appealing to a larger audience. Classic wow has proven with actual data 📈 that the majority of players prefer a causal friendly version of the game over complexity. And for the third time it will prove it self once again being dominant on what customers want.
My nastolgia is walking from elwynn forest to west fall > into the beautiful red ridge mountains and then into the night sky of dusk wood . It’s just awesome .
I played 2004-2006 as a tank in my 20s it was such an amazing gaming experience I remember the inconvenience of having to eat and sleep. Gonna get back on this tonight I think great video thanks!!
Cant wait for Thursday. As for the sweats, people are free to make or join more casual guilds. The reality is most of those players dont really want to wipe for hours in MC either, they just pretend they do.
@@MrJonHimself majority of people I have seen say TBC > Vanilla. For me TBC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Vanilla and this will just be a TBC waiting room but hey everyone has their own opinion
I have played on and off ever since vanilla back in 2004. I havent maxed a character out until wotlk classic, always ran shaman and never ran a raid. I still had a blast questing, getting good gear from quest rewards, running dungeons, leveling professions and trying different classes. Sweating and getting to endgame is the end all be all for classic. Ill be there thursday taking my time and enjoying the game. See you all there.
Good points, I might have teared up a little at you talking about rolling a Shaman because you want to have fun. I’ll be min/maxing some but good point is to have fun, don’t go so crazy. Enjoy the journey.
Want a breaking story? Blizz quietly removed paid transfers from places like Whitemane to Grobb or Mankrik, while leaving in place free transfers off of Grobb to WM. There’s a blue post on the classic era forums. Very few know about this yet.
EBONHARDT! THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME! I totally agree. I fell in love with hardcore classic a year ago. I'm looking forward to the fun and adventure! Cheers!
Classic wow is so amazing! You actually look forward to drops by enemies and the rare's are so awesome to hunt down. How can they screw up modern wow so bad. I die all the time in classic and that's how a game is supposed to be! You feel yourself getting powerful.
I love the gearing so much, maybe it sound weird but I cant play games with scaling anymore after I played wow classic 2019. This is prob the best gear progressing ever
You guys are hilarious. I play classic because I play wow. I’ve been playing since 05. Never missed a day. I play retail and retail is 100 times better than classic. I’m so tired of the same ole shit, “classic is so much better”. It’s not.
@@scottadavis8086 Retail is soulless. Do you even care what any random enemy drops? 50 spells, never Dieng while leveling. I saw a video yesterday of a guy playing hardcore trying forever to get a rare drop and when he finally got it all his hard work paid off, he and only a few others own that weapon. That is how a game is supposed to feel.
@ bahaaaa please. I been playing for 19 almost 20 years. Unlike you crybabies, I never took a break. I never stopped because “the game got to easy to lvl” or “the dungeon finder ruined the game”. lol. I sometimes had 3 accounts going at the same time, and yes I was three boxing thru shadowlands. You guys are nothing but a bunch of crybabies who don’t know what a real game is. Lvling is not suppose to be hard. The raids are suppose to be hard. In classic, they are a joke. Come raid nerburu palace on heroic or mythic. You wanna keep being a classic Andy, fine. But don’t act like it’s a hard game to master 🤦🏻♂️
Just enjoy the journey to 60, level what is fun to you, and try and level with someone who hasn’t played before. It really renews the fun of the wow universe!
Huh. I normally would try doing hardcore for the added challenge, but I’ve died enough times to lag & factors outside my control to make me stop wanting to invest time in that mode again. Maybe I’ll give fresh classic a go - I honestly love the inter personal connections that were made while playing. Hardcore gave me some of that closeness, but at a far too unpleasant cost.
naa dude, I did it when it was new, I did it when classic came out, I did hard core, I did SOD. (I did not do mastery) living the glory days are over.. In a MMO having to spend countless hours over and over only to throw it in the trash can.. That feels bad. Maybe if they had a transfer of your classic toon to retail when it was over.. but not this.. a..g..a..i..n..
I am almost 40 only got into pc gaming a few years ago always was on console BG3 made me buy a laptop gaming rig I always followed lore but never played classic fully just retail I cannot tell you how excited I am to join this adventure with you all! Ballsanass the Undead Priest! For the Horde!!😊
Blizzard with some W before the fresh. So hyped, have feeling its gonna be the best version so far with no GDKPS and with dual spec people actually PvPing. Calling it now, by the end of this fresh #nochanges guys will ask for these changes implemented in Era as well. See you all in Azeroth soon! For the Horde!
Launches are always fun and I will def level something but SoD has ruined classic wow raiding for me I'm pretty sure. Miss me with 1 button rotations and 40 man MC or BWL even.
ahh looking forward to a Fresh Shaman and chilling even when the Raid Content crap comes out I hope the Gatekeeping stops all around because my god it's time to stop taking this sh*t so damn seriously leave that with the TWW onward players with their locked down...M+ Raids etc
No, when you go to realms there should be an "anniversary" tab with a normal, pvp and hardcore normal option. Normal and pvp will lead to tbc. The hardcore... to pain and sadness...
.net like how blizzard has an entire team and keeps going back to repeat the old & over played without obvious ideas you know you’d implement bc why, clearly new wow is so messed up & they’re lazy.
Lol so they can secretly sell gold and make money 😂 like gold farmers. Lol this is only gonna be good because anyone can control the market with gold and make money watch I won't doubt the token gets added again 😂
Sad that we're not getting classic era fresh. Changes are fine but it's just a bit sad that we can't compare our old runs with the ones on the "fresh" servers. Also it would be nice to know if we will be able to copy our characters over to era or if they are locked into progressing into TBC... p.s. There will surely be more changes incoming. As soon as they show that they are willing to make changes more people start asking for more changes which just escalates even further
1is was jsut a better game vanila-wotlk was top, other datadisks were shiet 2 they only let that datadisk for a yea, and then restart and delete all, why ? no brain no pain blizzard

This is the first vanilla launch in 5 years, not our fault you played Season of Dogshit like a sheep. Move on and find another game sounds like your done with it.
This is exciting for me because my most recent experience was 2019 classic, which I only played for a year and some months... So it's been about a 3 year gap for me. I assume most people hyped are in a similar boat
I think... it's more of the same poorly run Blizzard servers. I have mained on Turtle for almost 2 years and I have yet to find something to pull me away.

Cannot wait! What's the best healer to be? Druid, priest or pally?
Pally for sure
Priest
Wait for Druid since buff debuff limit removed
I’m really excited tbh. I missed the 2019 launch
Will you play on pvp server EU?

How hard is mage to run if I’ve never really played wow before i dabbled in sod

What a spot on video!!
gf just left me here we go agin
Nailed it
Thank God they banned GDKP.
How about when blizzard wipes out hc servers before fresh is released
welp just reinstalled.........do i choose classic era? just curious.
No, when you go to realms there should be an "anniversary" tab with a normal, pvp and hardcore normal option. Normal and pvp will lead to tbc. The hardcore... to pain and sadness...
Gold farmers be damned this time around
what up enhance shaman gang lol

isnt fun in the emotion category
Your mic is awefull to listen to. Just a tip
I get like one of these comments every other video. Could you tell me what's wrong with my mic? So I can fix it.
The true game will be Vanilla Plus. Blizzard is so lazy.

I can't wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, and the moment the Fresh server was announced, i was like, well, time to make more room in my schedule for this too.
👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥💯👍🏼👍🏼
Fresh servers are the dopamine for normies. Can't stick to one game for more than 2 months
Sad that we're not getting classic era fresh. Changes are fine but it's just a bit sad that we can't compare our old runs with the ones on the "fresh" servers.

Yay now I can spend 20 hours a day for 3 months straight to grind out Rank 14 again. 🙄
Ah fk this i cba again. Staying in Sod. Got my two 60s on classic era which is better then this shit version
