With the addition of runes, class changes, a new raid, a world PvP zone and more, Season of Discovery is shaping to possibly be Blizzard's biggest win yet. Or is it?
In this video, Nixxiom shares his thoughts after his first day playing Season of Discovery. He shares his story of all that happened, shares thoughts from the community, and begs the question: What do you all think of the future of Classic WoW, now that SoD is released?

This video was recorded right after I finished that first 11 hour play session of SoD; just took me a day to edit it while also balancing the streaming. Hope you all enjoy!

Nixxiom Question do you think there will be a SOD for TBC or Wrath, you should make a video about that I think it would be a pretty cool idea
Only 1s for supply crates on American server
by the way the complaint you had with the crates is actually not what you think, as far as I can see there are different tiers of crates and depending on what tier it is the rewards change, the reason you thought it wasn't worth it to fill them was that you turned i nan empty tier 2 (?) crate and a filled tier 1, an empty tier 1 gives only 1 silver, and a filled tier 2 i think is 15 silvers, also the amout of rep you get is different, and the rep is with a new faction, supposedly there's a 10 slot bag you can buy at friendly and there's probably more at higher rep levels. that said they should definitely make it clear what tier the crate is, especially since you can only carry one.
Killing a bunch of boars on my troll hunter reminded me of the wow South Park episode and definitely some captain grim moments
I think the level 25 cap is the best new addition honestly. Makes for an interesting new meta for all of the professions and breaths new life into gear which are now "end game". I like the more manageable time requests from the game, as a community I imagine players of this game are older and have more responsibilities so I for one appreciate the reduced time crunch feeling of getting to max level.
I really like discovering runes naturally through questing and being in the questing areas. Like your being rewarded for doing open world things not just aoe grinding and dungeon boosting
True, you are being rewarded for being relaxed.
As it ALWAYS should have been. This is Blizzard discovering themselves what works and what is fun. RP elements like this is what undergirds WoW.
@@phetmoz They're copying the idea from elsewhere on private servers but it always should've been like this fr. Took them long enough.
its fun and nice in a classic setting, but seeing something like this on retail where i just want to be competitive it would not be fun, and im happy that the likelyhood of something like this never coming to retail is high since we know that classic+ is a thing now
I really hope they keep this wow going but blizzard tends to give fun first months then return to the usual bullsht... too many times but still hoping this is the time whe wont get shafted
I’m just happy to see more Nixxiom streams and seeing the oceans of players on a launch day again, looks crazier than 2019
i went on the only US pve and it was FULL but there was no lag, no server crashes. i was very impressed with the stability of this launch
Wild growth server was actually really smooth, there were a couple times I thought I would get d/c’d not too long after launch but after that it’s been smooth sailing
My hope is that blizzard is gonna take this opportunity to experiment with new specs like it seems they are. I cant wait to tank as a lock!
you mean you cant wait to die as a warlock trying to tank
I’m wondering if Sod will be introduced into tbc and wrath
Last night i saw demon warlock tanking BFD, it was doing great
I think it would be cool to have it set up as am alternate time-line maybe the lich king won and we're the last of the living still fighting to survive
used to play on a private server that had a realm where something like that happened(think like 15 years ago or so). most of the zones where infested with scourge. major towns only had small safe zone,. the rest of the town was filled with undead. was pretty fun concept, but way too big of a concept for that small time team they had to pull off.
Im hoping it all becomes a new universe outside of retail where the lore changes. They don’t even need to change much from Vanilla to WOTLK, its Cata onwards the lore wasn’t so great.
That would be awesome
@@unknown235 Is it still around? This sounds really cool!
@@luvhair255 don't remember what the server was called. it was so long ago. but if i remember correctly they shut down that realm, because it took too much time and not many people were playing on it, and they would just focus on their blizzlike realm instead.
God I can't wait to see this expanded further down the line with future updates! Getting new spells through runes via questing is one thing,but being rewarded for actually exploring the world and places I've never ONCE bothered to explore before due to a lack of reason, it's seriously cathartic and exciting X)!!!
This experience tells me they should have announced Classic+ and not Cataclysm at Blizzcon. Cata is where retail was born. It’s a line they shouldn’t cross. Give us Classic+!
This is classic+, for now.
So about the crate thing. I have found that some crates give bigger rewards than others. A crate that needs some bandages will only give 6 silver but a crate that needs rough copper bombs, an item that is a bit more expensive and that requires higher profession skill will reward me with 15 silver. I can only assume this continues to scale as you get higher lvl crates.
I agree about the crate silver value but I think it's more about the new Rep that's tied to it that will probably matter a lot for end game professions
When it goes to the Crates you turn in - I believe it's mostly for the new reputation, and I think you get much more rep when turning in "filled" one
Yup. Crates mostly give 1s and 100 rep if empty. When filled, it can give 6s up to, I think 60? considering what it ask of you to fill it. Meaning filling it with 20 plants, gives less money than filling it with 3 crafted items, wich also reward 300 rep or 600. Something like that.
Yeah, some runes can apparently only be bought when you have X rep with the faction@@TheMaflan
Yeah, it's the rep you want. If you get friendly with that faction a vendor opens up with some greens etc. I imagine the items will improve as the phases progress and we get more rep. Maybe at exalted we get a mount or something
4:19 “They really like them some piss” 😂😂
Sod has the potential of becoming the most fun version of wow if done right imo.
If they keep expanding on this they will finally get me to play.
We are having a blast on there. Wrath was ok but kinda felt burned out. SoD is Fun
The guild I'm in has, currently, 223 active members. The majority are between 13-19, but about 20% are level 20+, with 9 being 25 already. There's more level 25s in the guild than there are people under level 10. It's actually active, people doing dungeons together, mailing bags and patterns. Seeing dozens and dozens of people running around is really cool. It's wild to see it this active, though I know it won't last to this degree for too long.
I'm in love with SOD, also, knowing the cap lvl is 25 is making me a lot less anxious about 'power leveling asap'
I accidentally joined an AU server, but HOLY CROWDS. Like, just finding one mob was tough, and lots of peeps were grouping up in Tirisfal. But the fun thing is, yeah we got the Wayfair crates, but we also got Murloc Heads, and Gnoll Heads and were like “what do we do with this?” So that was neat
you know what, i took the biggest dump ever. two people died outside from the smell, a tree burned down and some country from antarctica declared war now for the toxins in my stomach, just saying brunhilda von siegesmund
@@vaelisiousantorus I’m sorry, but are you being passive aggressive with me? I only ask because I’m on the spectrum and can’t read social cues.
@@YukaiRyujin Honestly, it seems that way, but it's done so strangely that I think they might also be on the spectrum?
Hey Nixxiom! Just wanted to comment on your crate delivery criticism. I’m not sure what we will use it for, but I think the primary reward for delivering the crates is actually getting reputation with a new faction. Like I said I’m not sure how that rep will help us but I think that’s the real reward for turning these crates in. Also some of the ones I turned in rewarded more silver than that. I can confirm I’ve gotten one that was 20 silver reward.
3:45 as a mage you need to polymorph 6 of those animals and gather an item they drop if you get 6 of those items you get a rune
Blizzard should give druids new forms!!!
Wolf Form?
Spider Form?
Raptor Form?
Go crazy with it! Idk, that’s just my two cents. What do you think?
next time
I played and was shocked how many people there were the competition was actually fun. And as a warlock, haunt at level 3 is BROKEN!
Just now hearing about all this and such a great introduction. Thanks my guy!
Those weird critters are for the mage enlightenment rune, you have to poly six of them to get it
just blew my mind
Dont forget to pick up the scroll they leave behin
The crates are really a rep grind with a new faction, and you get more rep with a filled crate, with high enough rep you can buy stuff you'll really want.
Love the video. Ive been having so much fun, loving the mystery of new stuff yet to be found. Haunt and penance 😍
I totally agree that it does have some of that same excitement of when I first started playing wow! Loving SoD so far...even though I'm only level 12 currently lol
I'm playing a gnome mage on the PVE (US) server Wild Growth. I like the collaboration with guildies and randos in sharing rune locations. I'm leveling as fire and having a blast. I did try paladin long enough to learn how good Crusader Strike feels.
I been enjoying SOD, discovering new runes to play with while questing and running dungeons. I have a lvl 20 mage on lava lash.
Can't see anyone else replying about it so I guess I will be the guy explaining what the odd animals in Elwynn Forest were for.
Its for the Mage rune Enlightenment. Some critters in Elwynn Forest have the "Wild Polymorph" debuff. This is why they look weird. Casting Polymorph on them returns them to their regular humanoid form and leaves a scroll on the ground. Interacting with the scroll gives you a scroll fragment in your inventory. When you have 6 fragments you can combine them into a scroll which teaches you the rune.
(This can be found on wowhead btw)
figuring out with nearby people how to unlock runes is so fun
my experience with SoD: after school I made a tauren, leveling as a cow was fairly easy, very open space, lots of space to spread out
Anyone who went to Blizzcon coulda told you that Blizzard was not ready for how many people were interested in SoD. They had waaaay too few computers there, the line was like 3 hours long.
I'm not a vanilla player. And this has been a BLAST so far.
You are now lol
I'm a very casual WoW player- a carebear you could say. I played the original classic and quit cold turkey, as soon as I got continuously Ganked in STV. All I was trying to do was quest. I get that it's a part of the game and I'm alright with that. But when I couldn't even just do quests- it was enough for my to cancel my sub, as it wasn't worth the frustration for me.
Fast forward to today- I joined to play with coworkers/friends as a Holy Priest (a class I've never played) and I've been loving it thus far. I like to explore and just take in the game. I don't use add-on's or quest aids. I just want to experience the game, as the majority of it is still unknown to me. I don't want to min-max or read about how to max out my toon asap, as I don't want to ruin the "experience" of a new to me game.
I'm only 21 at this point- and I'm worried about running into contested territory, but I'm hopeful that this time around- I can push past that previous block with my friends at my side. I hate Blizz for what they've become as a company, but I'm hopeful for the future of Classic and so long as they stay away from retail territory, I could see myself playing this game for years to come.
I'd like to see them add in the ability for anyone to get credit for hitting a mob and not just the first person or party to tap it. It'd go a long way to alleviate the issues with overcrowding and people spawn camping. Other than that I am absolutely loving SoD.
I dunno that feels a bit too retail to me, the way it is in classic encourages partying which obviously is the sort of thing classic is so loves for even though it can sometimes be a drag lol
Ya this is a giant nope for me.
Would just lead to experience exploitation
Makes sense to me. Everyone saying no obviously did not see the drama posts about sod saying it's too much like retail as everyone can tank now lol.
@@JS310 It already feels way too retail as is with all these runes
The Gazelles and other random mobs are for a mage rune, where you dispell the polymorphed mobs and after you dispell six of them u get a rune
hey this feels like a nixxiom video :D
The supply crates rewards are different based on what the crate is requesting. Also, i think the main draw to fullfilling the crates is more beneficial for the rep they give, a incomplete crate gives 100 rep where a full crate can be almost 500 rep
One of the things that gave me vanilla vibes was have to camp mobs. A ton of people in one area but no one wants to group up so you have to camp a mob and stay there till your done
The crates vary quite a bit in terms of value, so far it seems most of them reward you with 6 silver when filled (and only 1 if you dont fill them). The exception being the one that requires 4 Brown Linen Robes, that one gave me 15 silver when filled.
The crates aside, really liking SoD and I hope they keep going and push even further
Couldn't agree more with your point on the supply boxes -- it would really help the in-game economy if they at least doubled the reward amount when you fulfill the box contents !
This was the best week of WoW I've had since Classic came out and I played with my wife and 2 other family members. Really having a blast and just got to 20 and pvp areas and man its like the old times. Stonetalon is a bloodbath.
The lvl 25 cap. The Classic Experience divided in 3 brackets. That is the key to keep it engaging
Thats odd the supply crate for wolf meat is 1s and 6s complete, in the case for 5s ones, its 30s (Still there are some than are way expensive to complete depending of the material for 25s).
Man , i love how some of the things you fine for runes want you to then do or kill things with certain abilities related to that class. It honestly was more then what i first expected for earning runes. Makes me excited for how else they will hide or unlock runes through out the next level brackets. I hope the blizz team Really goes hame and have you traveling across the world and doing some very cool clast fantasy based tasked or adventures
Played it for 5 hours last night and then went to bed and couldn’t sleep because i wanted to play more. 😂
Feels good to be back and this time i feel like I don’t have to rush to 60 because we have seasoned content and level caps which are easy to get to.
I kind of hope blizz do this wow + with other expansions after this and just build an “alternate universe” with different lore etc. might give Blizz a chance to fix some of the terrible lore from Cata onwards.
I streamed for 13 hours playing Wow SOD, it's fun shaman have interesting ways to get runes and to fund new things. Great video dude.
I tried the same supply box. The reward differs in general, but this one is 1 silver empty and 6 silver full
i think the crates will eventually have higher rarity the higher lvl we get, epic crates at 60 etc
Nixxiom my man you deserve more to watch your stream I swear i had a blast watching you playing SOD
This might've been changed without you knowing but when I turned in the crates last night(technically morning) I had the option to fill my crate for it to be 15s or give the crate as-is for only 1 silver. Maybe this is just Teldrassil though cuz I'm a NE male gigachad druid
Talking about the supplies crates, for some reason i cant loot anymore until i turn them in, but i dont have any and it wont let me turn anything in, so i dont have any supplie crates anymore but also i cant loot any more.
For supply crate - the reward is not fixed. If you completed the 4 silver one it would've been 12 silver and the other one you've turned in was a lower quality I guess. Also you get reputaion with these new guys when you turn it in. You get more if you complete it obviously. I reached Friednly with them and I unlocked a vendor with some nice green gear and 10 slot bag(unique). Soo yeah the create system is pretty nice acually.
From what I've heard, the Supply Crates may change value (money) based on your Character Level, and which resources are required. I'm disappointed that it doesn't allow you to partial load a resource, I got 60 peace bloom before I got 20 Silver Leaf for my crate. I only have 1 extra bag :')))))
They must have quickly changed the supply crate system because at a full supply crate I was getting 15s each and I had to make 4 linen pants and other easy asks. Also apparently there are runes locked behind the rep for it. So not only does it encourage leveling professions for everyone, it makes it a gate to at least 1 rune for a couple classes I believe which I thought was smart.
Different Waylaid Supplies are worth different amounts depending on what items it asks for. The basic ones, say Copper Bars are 1 silver hand in without adding bars, and 6 silver when adding bars. As for say a supply asking for Bronze Bars will be a base of 5 silver, and I believe (haven't seen it yet) about 20 silver when fulfilled. They are not worth the amount of money when fulfilled but this will be why you thought it was only a 1 silver increase, you were fulfilling a different tier of supply.
im pretty sure the crates value are all different based on the material you put in, my first one was worth 1s as it was, and 15s when i put in a few brown linen robes
Man I miss wow. I wish I still had a computer. Played og Wrath and Cata. It was glorious
Season(s) of Discovery, while I won't try them, sounds like an amazing idea! Especially if they don't last for too long. I'm not convinced it would remain interesting for much more than maybe 3-4 seasons though. But I guess that's part of the appeal of Classic, for me. I loved Hardcore even though I'm not playing it anymore. I really don't mind if some things are more temporary.
Hold up did they fix the Suply Crate thing? Today i turned upgrade one for 15s and 450rep?
The true reward for the crates is that once you get to honoured with their rep some classes have a rune that you can get from the faction vender.
I turned a crate in that needed 10 rough copper bombs and got 16s for it. I think the money rewards are scaled with what is missing in the crate
2:48. You can can get the souls from hogger and a critter for that.
It's like an entirely new game to me. I have played a horde toon since 2005 and decided to play alliance and I've never done any of the quests so it gives me the feel of playing it for the first time
There are things in SoD I honestly hope get translated to classic at some point, such as the discovering abilities aspect. I fucking LOVE it, when done right. It was one of the few things BFA had that was fun too, hunting down certain abilities (Though some of them were fucking pains like Blood of the Enemy. I know it wasn't -hard- but god that grind was a slog.) through exploration and stuff, along with just some aspects in general, like the various abilities! There are so many cool ones that'd be awesome to see on both ends. BUUUTTT I fully understand if it stays in classic, and its probably for the best to let it develop on it's own, and not just sere as like a beta testing ground for retail features.
For supply crates I got 6 silver when it was mats Like light leather and 15 silver when it was a crafted item
Imagine all the runes we'll have by 60. The amazing unique builds. I mean I made a lock just because they can tank, such a wild concept but so cool!
I think the supply rewards depend on what it is. One of my first ones I got 5 or 6 silver, but I did 3 boomsticks later and it gave me 12 silver on completion.
Thinking it's more about the Rep. I couldnt find a rep vendor for them tho.
i feel like alot of the new runes should have less impact on the character in percentage based changes, like with the shaman runes it changes alot with percentage, it would be easier to have it clunkier like classic usually is. so it doesnt become like retail
This is SO good.
I was always a Classic + nay sayer just for the pure fact that Old Blizz would never do anything like this will.
New Blizz will tho.
nah, the boxes give you 1 silver - or 6 silver if you fill them. that's a 5 silver difference. it's also different dpending on what you fill them with
.
I agree and havent watched this yet , ive never played wow and im having a blast , hope the season keeps our characters and continues into future season expacs
They should do this for the next retail expantions with the hero talents, or soemthing like that.
4:25 had me dying
It’s going to be much better in to weeks time when it’s no longer 3 hours of queue time and the zerge has finally spread out enough for you to actually tag mobs.
i just love how the world feels alive, there's no fomo with smashing out 60 lvls. New metas.
Ive never played classic. Dabbled in tbc but first got a max character in lich king. Ive been on and off for years but ive been having a really good time in sod.
Back in a good, old, calm 2019, on the start of WoW Classic, Russian region had only one main PvP server (later opened a few more, but nobody really cared), so the queues on it was near 36000, with approximate time of waiting like 9 hours. Kinda story I'll tell my kids someday))
I'm playing a shammy and priest, having fun so far!
i hope they add more endgame content. I dont wanna get tired of the pvp and raids and sit in orgrimmar or stormwinf all day. I would like more bgs or pvp modes or new raids or maybe quests? would be epic. World bosses too:)
I think the Supply crates may be lvl scaled or maybe depends on the items u put inside. I put 20 minor heath pots into one and got 15 silver. Idk the price before hand tho. I was lvl 10 at the time.
The empty crates being 5s must be a bug, when I turn them in they only give 1s
After playing and dying in hardcore tons of times, it’s literally painful to have to level again, but the prospect of new skills and what not make it fresh and exciting.
honestly shocked that Blizz keep acting surprised that this is what we want. Hopefully with Uncle Phil behind the helm, no more activision boolespit to stop them from porting to gamepass/xbox with k+m support enabled.
It took me until Level 18 and watching this video to realize, I could've just turned in the crates without going the extra mile.
25 cap is by far the best thing they added it feels amazing to not feel rushed and be able to level without my buddies knowing im not getting too far ahead
I kept seeing these "Strange Melon", just keep killing them thinking WTF are they. When I actually looked at the tool tip is said "has been transformed" or something similar, so I decide to polymorph it. The melon turned into a human, who then disappeared leaving an item - if I collect 5 of these, It will then turn into a mage engrave. I'm having so much fun.
There has been plenty of times so far when I sit up my chair seeing something crazy in SoD so far, it's such a treat. Being a part of general chat and seeing it so active is just so fun too! Since the cap is only 25 there should be plenty of time for Blizz to see and adapt stuff the more we play and give feedback so I'm hyped to see your suggestions Nixxiom!
crate system come with a reputation grind, hmmm. maybe supplier will unlock some goodies
The runes are under the truck by the SS Anne.
4:20 bro OMFG lmao
as for the crates, I just dont like you can only have one. But the 6 silver ones are 1 silver when turn in without the goods. The 5 Silver ones get 15 Silver with the goods.
Maybe gunther arcanus will have a major role in undead lore this time...
I mean they say that gunther is the only undead that break free from the control of lich king when hes still in full power and elevated himself to be a lich.
You get Reputation from the supply crates (if you missed that) :D
we on crusader strike na (we did not know the streamers were going there) and one of my friends was late to the party and its fucking locked now
never played wow because of hardcore i been getting into wow and sod seems so fun so far
4:24 im out of breath🤣 dont even play wow anymore but at this point i just watch for his humor
Wow hasn’t felt this good in a long time. SOD shows why the game didn’t need group finder for so many years.
