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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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
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.
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.
Classic the carrot on the stick is easily obtainable, Retail you'll always see the carrot but obtaining it, Never feels possible. Instead it will always be dangled in front of you. Classic you know you can obtain that carrot
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 😊
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.
And we'll never get this level of WoW again. With the great borining of a brutal game, that's basically Diablo-lite where you'll get an "epic" every five minutes that's usually trash. What's worst is being the champion of the "respected faction" seeing as how your an MC missing from so many important moments that include Thrall and Jaina or any other important lore character. But hey we get to see so many older characters regret the years of war and learn a valuable lesson. That's what we really all want from retail. Well back to the barrens where I'll go kill harpies for revenge and to stick their head on a pike that's going with the next caravan.
2:00 "You get to customize your character the way you want them to be customized" more like YOU WILL WEAR THE PINK DRESS FROM STRATHOLME whether you LIKE IT or not. That's why I love vanilla. You can't look "cool" until you've got a raid tier under your belt. Of course, there is (and always will be) an allure of look and style of the mismatched leveling char.
"You ain't got no life, you ain't got no friends, and I know you wanna spend your weekend with 40 people you don't know and some guy named Puff telling you what to do"
So true when he talks about "your character tells your story". One of the reasons I dislike transmog. I want my character to look like my accomplishments. And if I dont like my outfit its gonna make me envious of others and strive to be more like them. I love grouping up with people and seeing that one guy in your dungeon group who is kitted the fuck out, clearly showing they love to dungeon crawl. Just feels good.
@ I played WoW before the modern era and still playing retail. I had the same sentimental part of it that other players did, but it’s gone, playing Classic doesn’t make time come back. For anyone. I just mean the reasonings in this video are purely nostalgia and feelings.
The social aspect of Classic is one of it's biggest detriments for me. I loath other players being near me when I'm questing because it means I now have to worry about them stealing mining/herb nodes or the funny "walk across the zone to kill 12 mobs but whoops there's already a guy there and he killed them all so now I get to afk until they respawn and waste 30 minutes of my life doing literally nothing". I've never done a quest in Classic where you needed a group of players to complete it outside of dungeons, everything was soloable if you did it right. I have no idea where you get the idea that you would ever need to invite another player to do a quest with you. The only time I've ever stuck with Classic long enough to hit max was in anticipation of Wrath and then I hit 80 and never logged in after my first Heroic Violet Hold, meanwhile I get several classes to max in Retail ever expansion and clear every new raid or dungeon on at least one difficulty just to experience it. Classic is boring, time consuming, and the community is somehow more annoying than Retail players and I don't know how that's even possible.
LMAO tell me you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to group quests, without telling you don't know what you're talking about. Mate... if you barely every made it to max, that means you've never really played the game the way it was intended. You most definitely need groups to do a lot of quests through the leveling process. There hasn't been a single time I've played classic and have not had to party up with players at least a few different time so get certain quests done. I've been playing since the beginning, raided, PVP, selling professions services, you name it. Also, Wrath isn't Classic, max level in Classic is 60.
I’m level 45 so far, I needed to group for things in the barrens, hillsbrad, arathi, duskwallow, feralas so far. Could I have waited untill I out level the quest by 5 levels and go back and slowly solo it?? Maybe but that’s nowhere near as fun.
Very much unrelated, but I hope everyone (the Americans, that is) had an awesome Thanksgiving. Also, the misses and I went in for the second ultrasound yesterday and everything is going fantastic. Child is healthy, strong, and full of life. Thank you all for the prayers and support!

I bought a mid gaming laptop so I could feel authentic to the vanilla experience and I also became unemployed so I could add to the nostalgia.

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.
Everyone can play it. It's a very Simple, Easy Game. Not punishing like Retail. Nothing dividing the playerbase like M+. The ride is the adventure.

What's the addon that makes your quest log look the way it does at 8:35?
Cata killed the raiding scene again but I can’t do fresh classic again… I’m letting the sun go out on the 20th and im retiring

Exactly. Not sure why people are clamoring to play a version of the game (again) that just pigeonholed everyone

Omg. Nixxiom, you have an incredible mane there. Gorgeous hair!
For me it's freedom and coherence. The game became increasingly incoherent and "on rails" as the expansions went on beyond TBC
I think rock n roll Nixxiom (with the hair down) is bad a$$. 🤘
Its ez and most ppl arnt that good thats why

No end game. Many of these things exist in retail, I respect it that you like it but that’s just a lot of sentimental subjective stuff.
Nahhh bro the experience is different, sadly slower asf but it’s muuuuch different
You can get to max level in retail without talking to a single person, it’s such a different game
@ That’s a good thing
Sentimental subjective stuff is what makes the game feel alive though. If it's not for you then good go play a different game.
@ I played WoW before the modern era and still playing retail. I had the same sentimental part of it that other players did, but it’s gone, playing Classic doesn’t make time come back. For anyone. I just mean the reasonings in this video are purely nostalgia and feelings.
nice fairytale. its more like - GDKP , boost , bots , gold selling ... some kind of roleplay is gone

I mean if it means the new game is worse then yea I’ll take the old one “over and over”

I like sod better, still classic
SoD>classic
Because it's not absolute trashcan material like retail. It's simple. 🤷🏾♂️
sup
Like comment and hope wow listens...but do they listen?
The social aspect of Classic is one of it's biggest detriments for me. I loath other players being near me when I'm questing because it means I now have to worry about them stealing mining/herb nodes or the funny "walk across the zone to kill 12 mobs but whoops there's already a guy there and he killed them all so now I get to afk until they respawn and waste 30 minutes of my life doing literally nothing".
I've never done a quest in Classic where you needed a group of players to complete it outside of dungeons, everything was soloable if you did it right. I have no idea where you get the idea that you would ever need to invite another player to do a quest with you.
The only time I've ever stuck with Classic long enough to hit max was in anticipation of Wrath and then I hit 80 and never logged in after my first Heroic Violet Hold, meanwhile I get several classes to max in Retail ever expansion and clear every new raid or dungeon on at least one difficulty just to experience it. Classic is boring, time consuming, and the community is somehow more annoying than Retail players and I don't know how that's even possible.
Sounds like MMOs arnt for you bud
LMAO tell me you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to group quests, without telling you don't know what you're talking about. Mate... if you barely every made it to max, that means you've never really played the game the way it was intended. You most definitely need groups to do a lot of quests through the leveling process. There hasn't been a single time I've played classic and have not had to party up with players at least a few different time so get certain quests done. I've been playing since the beginning, raided, PVP, selling professions services, you name it. Also, Wrath isn't Classic, max level in Classic is 60.
I’m level 45 so far, I needed to group for things in the barrens, hillsbrad, arathi, duskwallow, feralas so far. Could I have waited untill I out level the quest by 5 levels and go back and slowly solo it?? Maybe but that’s nowhere near as fun.
I'm surprised to hear you still play MMOs. Why waste time playing multiplayer games when you can do solo better in other games?
