      @Not Drunk James It is a threat to the modern game. Go in to trade chat right now and ask how many people are just playing while waiting for classic. In my experience the number of people that would answer yes to that is quite high.

    • @TheCeodoc
      @TheCeodoc 5 лет назад +14

      @Not Drunk James The majority of classic WOW players will come from the current WOW player base.
      Once you are the other side of letting go of your wow account it is a stark realization of how bad the the whole experience actually is too your well being.
      'Wow killers' have mostly failed because they cannot match the 'investment' players put into their Wow accounts.
      If classic Wow can pull players away from their modern Wow accounts, they will find it much easier to let go of classic later*
      We'll see.
      *That being said, if Blizzard pulled off a full rewind and long time players started the journey all over again, that would be quite spectacular, scary but nonetheless amazing.

      @Not Drunk James Account is very different to the must login effect. Folk aren't addicted to the account, they are addicted to 'their' heroes.
      It takes not logging into that to get the epiphany
      I also don't believe for a minute that classic Wow couldn't or wouldn't change its model if they see data showing the playerbase moving to classic.

    When I started vanilla I was shit, then I randomly met a druid who became my friend, she taught me how to tank and tested me by pulling extra mobs when I least expected to see how I coped with it. Still friends to this day, but one of the best things she taught me about foresight as a tank was if you needed to use taunt, you'd failed at tanking (unless it was a specific mechanic that needed you to taunt).
    The idea being if I needed to use taunt I hadn't been paying attention or keeping myself prepared for the unexpected. I ended up being main tank for my guild and raided all the way to naxx 40, so I'm always grateful for her turning me from a shit tank into a good one who was able to help push the guild forward in raids. It felt great!

      Yea... you should mention that you clearly *aren't* watching Asmongold's entire streams...as he's lost the best gear numerous times to both Esfand and McConnell... and done so quite vocally (as he is known for doing).
      As a fan of his channel from the very beginning I can also say how obvious it is that he is catering to a MUCH younger audience than his fellow streamers. Essentially playing a tongue-in-cheek style of game, to garner extra levels of enjoyment from players who haven't MASTERED the entire game 15 years ago, and who are interested in minutia other streamers are "above" sheerly by virtue of their streams age groups.
      Asmongold has spoken time and time again that his average viewer is between 12-16yrs old... with only about 10-15% of his audience falling in the 20-30yrs age gap that WE represent.
      Nice try on the virtue signally though... hope that works out.

Classic needs a little bit more of Strategies becasue Tanking is not as easy as it is and seems. Enemy can Dodge and Parry attacks which degreeses your Threat and some Hyper-DPS like Mages can only go Single-Target and not AoE everything down in seconds. Vanilla Dungeons are way different and way different design compared to M+ and it started by Low HP Mobs pulling different Mobs and Enemy who can fear you can fear you into different Mobs. Besides that M+ is pure Cancer and shouldn't be in a MMO besides it gives Flasks only or enchants but no gear. Gear should be only available if you raid. No time for raiding? Sucks for you

I actually stopped playing WoW after reaching max level in BFA as the game lost it's personality. I played Wow at launch and no game has ever come close to the feeling I had while running around in Coldridge Valley and Kharanos on my Dwarf Warrior, finally progressing to Loch Modan and seeing another player riding on the back of a Ram mount which blew my mind. I cannot wait for this game. I will keep watching your videos with great interest. Thank you

    As someone with no interest in trying Classic myself, I'm really interested in hearing your views of Classic after level 30. Most notably, do you think this enjoyment would continue long term?
    As you've said before, the core gameplay itself is not particularly good, but you seem to have found your joy in the older style of tanking specifically. Do you think that will be enough to carry you through some of the more tedious aspects of the game? Do you think you would be enjoying yourself in any other role where you don't have that factor of tank management to keep the combat more involved for you?
    Most content creators that are hyping up Classic at the moment don't seem to really have a good explanation for their fondness of it, it generally comes off as just enjoying experiencing the game in such a different way, but I feel your perspective could have a lot more insight into what is actually enjoyable about it.

  • @matainer
    @matainer 5 лет назад +2

    @Preach Gaming Shield slam actually does a huge amount of threat in an attack, it's just usually not worth using it until you have a pretty good block value. But far as I can tell, with more recent math and understanding of how threat and such works, deep prot is the way to go as a full time tank, with some in arms and fury.
    Also, Battle Shout generates threat on enemies for each party member buffed by it, so weaving it into your rotation in groups of mobs is a good habit to get into.

    One hundred percent agree on the tanking minigame and "keeping things moving". Watching your threat on each mob, evaluating the next pack, marking CC targets if necessary, checking your healer's mana to see if you can continue chaining or need to take a break (which you can only do after monitoring them for the first 10 minutes to see how efficiently they use their mana in the first place). The hyper-awareness of so many moving parts allows a TRULY talented tank will single handedly craft a satisfying dungeon experience front to back, and is one of my favorite parts of the game to play as well.

    Preach, specializing in Axes is actually super strong in leveling. The level 30 warrior class quest gives you the Whirlwind Axe, which is a super powerful weapon that is BiS for the next 10 levels. Then you have the axe from SM Armory and Kang the Decapitator from Zul'Farrak which lasts you until 60. So going axes is actually super worth. The best leveling 2h weapons are axes.

I'd even say it seems more mindless than DPS. Can't wait to play classic.

    As an early bc player after banning myself from vanilla I am so happy to see the start of this again. I love the lore of the game. Always feel most happy in Azeroth questing. Been a high end raider through bc, wraith and cata. Played each xpac to some degree but finally relieved to be back to the roots of what this game is about. Character growth and reward for hard work is what this game is about. To me the new xpac's feel more and more like a mobile app to make a quick buck. If they bring TBC back looking forward to doing the keymaster achievement again and gaining the tabard as the portal is open. Happy days

    This, this is why I loved tanking back in TBC. As paladin would cycle through each mob make sure they had a stack of Seal of Truth debuff, then I had number of different ways to regain aggro, BoP, Avenger shield, Hoj, taunt, god that was so much more fun then today's "run in hit 1 button and it deals aoe damage wooooo...

  • @tbuksuperfly

    I was a tank (dungeon/raid) pretty much all vanilla and tbc and loved it. I quit at the end of tbc just from burn out of basically feeling like I was being forced to login all the time 'for the good of the guild'. When I came back (just before mop) I just couldn't get the same feeling back. At the time I thought it was the fear of being forced to be on all the time but I'm beginning to realise it was more that it was just more fun back in the day. Sure the classes were crap and you pretty much just hit 2-3 buttons but having to think about aggro, target swapping etc.. just added a skill to the game that appealed to me. Used to love getting complimented on my threat holding, survivability, etc.. dammit! Wasn't interested in classic but these vids are getting the old nostalgia juices flowing

    @elricengquist9989 5 лет назад

    What I quite liked about classic to bc and even lich king wow was the personality the classes, and roles had, which gave you alot of replayability between classes an roles. Aggro management, threat management, and dungeon knowledge was quite important to learn. Like the old rule of not attacking a target full on till the tank had five sunders on it, some could do it that had either a good control of thier threat or abilities to deal with threat, but also knowing so many ways of pulling groups to make it easier to defeat them an group them up.
    Like when I switched to a paladin tank in BC i would use line of sight so much in shadow halls , which also having so many undead an demons made it that I could use my holy long range attack nice for pulling groups instead of using my shield or face pullig them.

    Dude, "Deep Prot" is the shit. I used to do it all the time, not only do you make yourself basically invulnerable, you're also a stun machine. When you're almost at 50% chance to stun on EVERY REVENGE? You are constantly stunning targets. Also, the rage generation with level 5 Shield specialization is sick because it's every time you block. Shield slam does a shitload of damage, because everyone misses the part about "Modified by your shield block value". So you're a blocking/threat/stun machine that's basically invulnerable. Takes a ton of heat off the healers.

      Dont worry about it! Its different than retail but not really harder, you just have to keep track of different things (like Preach said, what enemies have you hit how many times, did they dodge/parry, rage management, ...). You learn that stuff quite fast in low level dungeons where its not a wipe if a mob hits a clothy 2-3 times.
      If you want an easier time (and also min-max a little bit), go for engineering - those bombs really help! Keep it up and enjoy your time!
