It is the hero's journey and not the chosen one. People are more social. Also I shouted out loud when I got my first 6 slot bag drop. That drop felt so rewarding.
I don’t consider myself to be a very social person but in MMOs I really enjoy talking to people. It’s fun to group up with people even if we end up wiping.
@@NixxiomOnRUclips damn, lend some to the rest of us, or to Asmon, maybe it'll make him happy and he'll stop doing DEI=DIE videos and do something actually fun instead
Levelling a Tauren Druid in the Barrens is such a charming & adventurous experience. The mobs are sometimes too difficult to kill alone, I ended up grouping three times today, and got thanked twice for buffing random travellers passing by.
Today most games, specially MMOs are just a "rush to max level to start the actual game", and even after that, everything still feel too fast (Instant dungeon finding, loot everywhere, etc...). That's the reason I like vanilla, the game starts as soon as you create your character and you can enjoy the game while taking your time leveling.
Because Vanilla has no "End Game" that's why you feel lvling is 90% of the whole game rest is doing same raid for same gear just to clear same raid + Nostalgia and the charm of relaxed gameplay knowing what waits in the end unlike retail with real "End game" content that people want to do hence they rush lvling ofc.
Yeah, I think they really killed the dungeon experience when they made everything an AoE pull. No more sheeps or saps, just a tank running in and aoe'ing to hold aggro while everyone dps's. Go faster, take the shortcut/skip, dont bother rezzing, just make them run back while keep clearing. No time for chat or fun, just GRIND.
As someone played both Classic and Retail, I'm lad there's a space for both types of games. Sometimes I just want to enjoy the slowburn of Vanilla that delivers high highs when I get an upgrade, and a community who also enjoys the slow paced journey. But sometimes I just want more places to explore, more side content to do, and grind for cosmetic rewards that respect my limited time, which is what Retail provides. It's sometimes sad to see the unnecessary tribalism between the two versions of the game, when its obvious that both versions cater to different tastes. This community deserves better than to rip each other apart for something they enjoy.
Berfore watching: the world, the nostalgia, the questing, the journey to 60, the coziness, the rpg elements that matter (ammunition for hunter, feeding the pet, drinking water/milk for mana), the well balanced, raw gameplay, the beautiful graphics (for those who love em) and the original UI, the actual need to group up and talk to people, helping each other out. Shortly: it’s the best MMORPG ever made.
I agree with most things you said but the gameplay is anything but balanced. There is a plethora of specs that aren’t even playable because they weren’t fleshed out enough or their damage was abysmal.
Great video! My favorite part of playing classic WoW is the community. Another thing about Classic WoW, it's not a walking advertisement filled with FOMO.
The world was the star of WoW back in the day… I’ll never forget exploring the world, it felt like being an actual adventurer. It’s a feeling that is rare but powerful, I think the only other games that had that vibe to me were Skyrim, Witcher 3, and Elden Ring.
community is really better in classic but what amazes me is how these people, presumably around 30-40 ish years old, having families, work and stuff can afford to play such grindy game
Id rather spend an hour or two of my free time to game 1 level and feel satisfied. Unlike retail, where one hour of gameplay is 10-20 levels or 4-5 heroic dungeons of no loot.
this is why i like classic and tbc: character and gear progression feels significant and satisfying. everything you do feels like it matters. the pace of the game is also slower, and unless youre doing something like a classic server with a 16 week per phase schedule, you dont really feel rushed.
Just wrapped up Dun Morogh, did some loch modan, tossed a coin between westfall and darkshore for the grind to level 20. Darkshore here I come. It’s so good.
I've been having a ball on Classic fresh servers. I also started the game back in 2005, and even though I still play it, the retail version has definitely lost a few of the things that made the game special. I'm a 43 Holy/Disc priest this time around, and although I won't make 60 by the time MC releases, I'll definitely be raiding with my guild in week two.
I really love classic and i created new character on fresh server , but after hitting level 20 i asked myself this " why am i leveling another character , this will be like my 15th character on this new Classis wow servers , just enough is enough , doing the same thing over and over again" i would really like to play it , but i just have to force myself to do it , not having fun anymore....
Because this type of game is only meant to be fun once. If you’re not in it to do end game content with a decent group of people by the end of your lvling, then what is the point? What is the difference between playing a stupid fresh server and playing by yourself in retail with way more things to do or play a private server? 😒 People are so blinded by nostalgia and miss a tine they had friends who also had time to play this game, when no one knew anything
@@wuzittooya Straight to the point , it only hits for the first time , now i know every route , every quest location , what to do etc , not fun anymore... End game could be fun but first of all i have done all of that before ( few times ) and also adult life does not let me spend as much time as i would like to.
I'm gonna play turtle WoW cause they actually make each subclass viable. I'm sorry but changes shouldn't be demonized when they actually make specs playable.
The points made in this video highlight why Classic will forever have a special place in our hearts. Azeroth is dangerous, gear matters and your next Friend could be right around the corner.
Grind Is meaningful, every little gear upgrade Feels great. Even if i can log in only for 30 minutes i am satisfied with few bars to my level, that one quest i just progressed, or even new flightpath i spend those 30 mins getting to.
The key phrase here is "back in the day". As in, when this experience was fresh to everyone. You only really legitimately get that experience once, but ultimately retail WoW became what it is because the players demanded it. People absolutely CAN experience the game in a similar fashion if they. Just. Slow. Down.
The stat I want to know is how many brand new players has WoW Classic attracted and retained. I can't imagine that number is very high. Unless you grew up on it, I can't imagine a younger generation digging the gameplay of WoW Classic.
I went and asked ChatGPT how long it would take me to have one character per class spec while trying out all the WoW races. It takes 51 years if you're a casual player who takes around 8 months to level a Vanilla character to 60. Not even counting gearing and raiding here. And you could even go further and do niche/hybrid specializations. Vanilla WoW just never ends.
I think retail looks great, I wish some of that aesthetic could come to classic. I like that the combat animations match whats happening instead of my character swinging a sword once while a bunch of numbers pop up or worse, misses/parries. The problem is that if you let Blizz start to make changes (even ones we want) they wont stop until theyve killed it.
My biggest reason for me to stick to vanilla is the fact that I'm not forced to lose all my progress whenever they decide to advance into another expansion. I take a very long time to level and gear up, so it's very important to me that I keep and enjoy the rewards for my efforts when I log back into a character I haven't played in a while. They migrated my shammy that took me months to get to 60 without asking me + broke my guild apart by advancing to TBC. It's sad. Even when they do something right by giving us classic I still can't trust Blizzard.
Had lots of friends the 1st time around but now, through classic? Haven't had any whatsoever.. Either as I've gotten older I've become a more shxtty person, or people in general have become more shxt..
I think the biggest difference between Classic and Retail is that Classic really focuses on Immersion and just making it feel like a natural and real world, and not overdesigned and so guided and convenient like Retail, I mean retail does a whole bunch of things better than Classic but for me Retail feels too arcady, too video gamey if that makes sense
I actually realised I do not like older mmos x) I did like talking to ppl, but even then I didnt like to suddenly stop n try to find ppl to help with a quest, which was like a sudden rock in my path. Same for dungeons, standing around in city or in front of dungeon, trying to find ppl doing nothing, but shouting. It was kinda ok back then, when I felt like I had infinite time :)) Nowdays after work I would rather go for single player or more modern mmo. I guess life got to me :D:D
I wish someone like Nixxiom or any other streamer/youtuber that claims the classic community is fantastic and so friendly and lovely towards each other would go "under cover" so to speak. Ya'know, claim they're going on vacation for a few days but secretly play the game off stream on a brand new account that has 0 ties to who they are as a content creator and just play a class like say Paladin that's generally shunned by the community until 60. I've been leveling a Paladin in classic fresh and my god this community is full of toxic, elitist jackasses. There's people who read that last sentence and checked out and so they're not gonna see that I'll say that I know not everybody is like that, but there is a SIGNIFICANT number of people in this community, enough to where running into people like that is a more than once a day occurrence. Try playing a Paladin and see how many groups you get kicked out of or just outright not invited to because the Warriors don't want you taking their gear and the Mages/Warlocks/Priests don't want you taking theirs, or a Priest that's not a Dwarf on Alliance side and listen to how many people tell you you're simply not gonna have a raid spot then. Play an Arcane Mage I fuckin' dare you. See what happens the moment in a dungeon you fire off an Arcane Missile. The classic community is toxic af if you're not playing the way the community has deemed the best way to play. Nixxiom and other content creators live and work in a bubble because they're only ever surrounded by sycophants that would suck the sploodge off their nuts at the slightest side glance of acknowledgement.
He was wrong about it then. And is wrong about it now. He doesn't play anymore, and never understood HC, nor Classic players truly. The problem is that he thinks he does. He just can't step away from his own perspective.
My answer is , are we just going to have 2 x WoW Classics running along side each other ? Or is blizzard going to start doing Classic + and introduce new content / story lines keeping the classic formula. Hell release old expansions but keep the classic formula from vanilla WoW all the way through. I'd love that.
My one and only reason for playing classic is grouping up and getting the ZG tiger, it's one regret I have on live.. So I will get that one way or another
I tried to go back for anniversary, but man, I just can't do it after turtle wow. It's too much of a downgrade. I had so much fun in vanilla, tbc, classic, and hardcore, but it's gonna be a while before I really enjoy running it agane without some sprinkles. Not SoD sprinkles of course, turtle wow just does it right man.
This is not true Classic. Megaservers and layering is absolutely horrible and has no place in Classic whatsoever... And being able to change spec anytime anywhere completely destroys the concept of having talent trees and a specialization... This Classic team needs to be fired, especially Aggrend
Immersion is the most important part of MMOs IMO, players will ruin it for themselves with optimization but developers shouldn't cater to that behavior. When your main sell of new gameplay isn't new zones and new adventures but new systems and updates to old systems that people have optimized the fun out of, you're failing to make a good MMO.
What’s funny is that, back when WoW Classic was first released it was the least grindy MMO out there. You can get max level in 2-3 months. While contemporary titles will take you at least 6 months of mind numbing grind. You can see RO, L2 and other Korean MMOs back then were super grindy. But not WoW. You can say, Blizzard tuned that grind factor to perfection.
as somebody who loves classic wow so much why do you promote and use an addon that tells you exactly where to go what to do and when to do it, you arent an "adventurer" you are following a linier path lol if you are using zygor
As someone who found the game when wotlk was about to drop i completely missed vanilla and tbc. This will be my time. No add ons at all. Read every quest. I'm having so much fun 😊
I just can't imagine why I would want to abandon my advanced characters, my hard-won gear, my hard-earned gold, and my max-level professions and reputations to go start over on a "fresh" server. If I want to feel fresh, I can just create a new character (and have done so several times). It seems to me that Blizzard is still butt-hurt that they were wrong about Vanilla/Classic and ever since then, they keep trying to split the player base in a effort to ruin the game. We've dealt with SoM, SoD, hardcore, and now "fresh." 🙄 Blizzard, please just stop it.
i like how classic andies be like: classic is a sandbox and not following a path meanwhile : installing restedXP/other lvling guides and following a path to whatever set addon say : legit having zygor addon sponsor if ANY wow players is following a path and not open ended it is classic players and it is all thanks to those addons becuase of those addons existing and ALOT using them what classic andies think of retail being what classic is not is basically untrue on this part
Retail at this point is logging on to do mythics and various other chores to get your ilevel up... which might not be bad as a coop experience if not for how long everything takes. I can go loadup darktide or any other coop game and get into a match in seconds OR I can log onto WoW and spend 10 minutes getting declined by mythic groups until one invites me. The game is fun but everything around it isnt.
It used to be the community but now a lot of the community are a bunch of sweats that couldn't do endgame in Retail and take it out on others by being sweats in Classic. Other then that Classic is just easy to vibe in
About to watch the entire video but let me just say it says a lot about a company when people routinely go back to the 20 year old version of your product.
I prefer the single player content, Been playing this the full 20 years and have had my fill of asshats ruining my experience for no other reason than they enjoy being an asshole so I will take my solo delve and be happy until they come up with something better for solo players.

I think rock n roll Nixxiom (with the hair down) is bad a$$. 🤘
For me it's freedom and coherence. The game became increasingly incoherent and "on rails" as the expansions went on beyond TBC
as somebody who loves classic wow so much why do you promote and use an addon that tells you exactly where to go what to do and when to do it, you arent an "adventurer" you are following a linier path lol if you are using zygor
its called business my friend
It's just an ad
As someone who found the game when wotlk was about to drop i completely missed vanilla and tbc. This will be my time. No add ons at all. Read every quest. I'm having so much fun 😊
Its ez and most ppl arnt that good thats why
Classic wow dominates the the aesthetic that is unmatched to this day.
I just can't imagine why I would want to abandon my advanced characters, my hard-won gear, my hard-earned gold, and my max-level professions and reputations to go start over on a "fresh" server. If I want to feel fresh, I can just create a new character (and have done so several times). It seems to me that Blizzard is still butt-hurt that they were wrong about Vanilla/Classic and ever since then, they keep trying to split the player base in a effort to ruin the game. We've dealt with SoM, SoD, hardcore, and now "fresh." 🙄 Blizzard, please just stop it.
the only good MMO
*shocking pikachu face*
the last good single player game? I'll help, it starts with a sky- and ends with a -rim.
Calling Skyrim good feels wild to me. Glad you had fun in it though!
Nixxiom... The hell is with your hair?! I mean I am used to seeing it back.. Bro looks like a true metal head which I had no doubt. I kinda like it!
Everyone tells me I look like a fat stoner when my hair is down.
@@NixxiomOnRUclips I think you look like a metal head. lol
Miss me with anything pre-cata.
I just wish they did classic but with all the new armor/player models and cosmetics.
noo the new animations look so disney‘ish
i like how classic andies be like: classic is a sandbox and not following a path
meanwhile : installing restedXP/other lvling guides and following a path to whatever set addon say : legit having zygor addon sponsor
if ANY wow players is following a path and not open ended it is classic players and it is all thanks to those addons
becuase of those addons existing and ALOT using them what classic andies think of retail being what classic is not is basically untrue on this part
Retail at this point is logging on to do mythics and various other chores to get your ilevel up... which might not be bad as a coop experience if not for how long everything takes.
I can go loadup darktide or any other coop game and get into a match in seconds OR I can log onto WoW and spend 10 minutes getting declined by mythic groups until one invites me.
The game is fun but everything around it isnt.
@nixxiom does wow need to do 5 levels and in a patch 5 more levels to slow down the leveling in modern wow
you can take it easy in classic but the problem is in that pace you probably hit lvl 60 in a year 😅
Wooooow check out the hair, love it
Well I like the Option to play Singleplayer.
what is the add-on that gives voice-over?
It used to be the community but now a lot of the community are a bunch of sweats that couldn't do endgame in Retail and take it out on others by being sweats in Classic. Other then that Classic is just easy to vibe in
Flying and "Seasons" killed WoW.
About to watch the entire video but let me just say it says a lot about a company when people routinely go back to the 20 year old version of your product.
Timeless Classic. No expansion even comes remotely close to the success of vanilla, by orders of magnitude.
"This is why people are too nostalgic and retail is bad for years*"
Everything feels earned, not given. Just my take.
900 views, unc fell off
Did you kill Balderton?
Asmon's jealous with that hair lol
Wow is up everyone just loves to here
Nixxiom there’s something on your head
I prefer the single player content, Been playing this the full 20 years and have had my fill of asshats ruining my experience for no other reason than they enjoy being an asshole so I will take my solo delve and be happy until they come up with something better for solo players.
🤤They should do an augmented reality WoW GO game.
And monetize it to high hell? No thanks
@raptorking3678 😒Sure know how to take the fun outta stuff
