    Wrath of the Lich King is nearly over - Cataclysm Classic is soon to arrive. And although WotLK certainly a pleasure to reexperience, I don't think any can deny that it wasn't exactly the expansion for Classic World of Warcraft we were hoping for. Lich King was plagued with problems since the beginning, it seemed; so many people felt that WotLK was lackluster and a total disaster. So what went wrong?
    In this video, Nixxiom goes into what exactly went wrong with Wrath, as well as sharing his final thoughts on the expansion. May the good memories live on! Arthas will always be the one true king.

    in my opinion, the elitism killed Wrath Classic. Nobody wanted to even kill the Lich king even like a month later into ICC. GDKPs ruined the fuck out of this as well. Everybody became greedy for loot and gold. Nobody wanted to kill Lich King like I always intended to do since I was 10. I finally got my chance now... but very sour because raiders would get mad over the littlest of things and always blamed DPS. I just wanted to kill the lich king. Unnecessary guild drama and GDKPs on top of everything else just soured it for me

      @@critterwyatt Not trying to be a contrarian and start a huge argument, but I just want to push back on that a bit. At least on my server, original Wrath still hand plenty of gatekeeping and elitism; gear score add-ons were first coming out and every PUG raid required you to link them your GS and achievements to prove you already cleared the raid you were trying to PUG. People would absolutely inspect your talents and give you shit if things were off, hell, I did that as well. Point is, there's always been gatekeeping and elitism in these games, and most players were acutely aware of a meta and enforced it regularly. I'm sure it's gotten worse over the years, but to portray original Wrath as very informal and friendly seems quite inaccurate. In general the WoW playerbase has tended to be much more elitist and hostile than other MMORPGs, and this was especially noticeable in the early days when many players were migrating from other, earlier MMORPGs. This has been true since Classic; it's the Battle.net experience. WoW players might have been a *bit* nicer than the average Warcraft III player, but not by much.

  • @rokyo401
    @rokyo401 2 месяца назад +8

    I'm not sure Wrath Classic exactly "failed"... I still had much less problems finding a raid at most times of the day than in the original Wrath (probably because much less servers now?).
    For me, there are several other reasons as well, some of which probably tie in with the WoW Token:
    (not sure if these first two are specific problems on German servers or if you have them in the US as well)
    1. GDKP:
    In the original Wrath, I never ONCE encountered a GDKP raid. Now in Wrath Classic it's all over the LFG channel every day! This probably ties in with the bots (and buying gold on shady services) and the WoW Token, since both enable you to whip out your credit card, go into a GDKP raid and just straight up BUY the BIS equipment.
    2. GearScore & Logs:
    In the original Wrath, there was a little bit of GearScore shenanigangs going on in the end but I don't remember any logging (except maybe Recount). Nowadays on Wrath Classic, almost every LFG message includes something like "LFM ICC25 11/12 HC, 6k+ GS, logs will be checked, 12/12 HC XP required!" gate-keepery. Of course, you'll get every single "turn with arrow keys" kind of GDKP-equipped, 6k GS touting 12yo with access to mom's credit card this way, which makes these PUGs super fun! (actually, the log check part may help against that a little... 🤔) Still, unless you attended every new raid on the very first week it comes out, you won't have any logs for it and will have a hard time being accepted into any PUG from week 2 onwards. Same problem for twinks, since you obviously forget all the tactics when you log onto your alt, because if the alt itself doesn't have logs: "Sorry, we can't invite you". 🤣
    3. I'm older and got a job now
    Main point probably for most people who played original Wrath back in the days?? Back then, I was a student. I could just raid all night until 4 am and then just not attend my lectures, no problem. Now in Wrath Classic, I (and a lot of the other guys I raid with atm) are older, need more sleep and gotta get up at 4 am to go to work. Much less time to invest in WoW and raiding/farming/etc.
    Still, I really enjoyed Wrath Classic overall! And I'm looking forward to playing Cata for the first time, since I quit WoW back when it originally came out.

    As someone who mostly is into questing and leveling, I still feel that WotlK is peak WoW. The leveling experience is about the best it ever was with a lot of the improvements made to the old world before Cataclysm replaced it all, and Northrend is an amazing experience. I'm going to miss leveling in old world going back to Classic Era, since everything is just too grindy and too many quests I just have to skip because they're all elite mobs. I've leveled like 5 characters from 1-80 since WotlK classic came out, its great.

    I had recently got on my lvl 63 DK and I really liked the Outland leveling a lot better. It did this thing where you change zones more frequently and they weren't bloated with quests to the same extent Wrath was. I had 7 70s in TBC, I got 4 characters to 80 in Wrath, and three of them were helped by Joyous Journeys. TBC gave all my toons a Kara Key Quest to do, which was fun and got my toons geared up. The professions felt more valuable in TBC too. The way Wrath is designed, it like needed the dungeon finder right away. TBC's design philosophy was more hardcore, in that your druid tank could easily tank 5 mans, but your warrior, had hell keeping aggro. But yet in raids, the warriors were better. So when I played my warrior, I would start a group and I would try to bring a rogue, a mage, a priest healer, and maybe a hunter or shaman as 5th. Rogues had lots of tools to drop aggro and could cc. Mages could cc and had ice block and also had AoE for certain pulls. Shamans had tremor totem and all their buffs and while they got aggro, they wore mail, so like, it wasn't the end of the world. Priest healers had fade. Hunters could feign death and CC but we know must pug hunters are a gamble. Warlocks got aggro all the time, except when I played my warlock. Especially if they decided to run with that stupid fel guard instead of being infliction or destro. Ret paladins and DPS warriors I avoided bringing, unless I was tanking a druid. In wrath, none of this nuance mattered, so they like needed the dungeon finder from the beginning. Because there is effectively only four roles now, I just stick to my warrior, rogue, mage, and priest. I did come back when the Dungeon finder was introduced and Wrath got a lot better. Cata might be fun if 80-85 doesn't take forever to do.

    My first time playing wow was a free 48 hour trial back in wrath. I mainly played diablo 2 and had a resentment for wow since it took all my d2 friends away but then I tried the game and thought it was garbage. I barely got to level 5 (I didn't get to use the full 48 hours as I had a part time job) and didn't touch the game again until the end of cata going into mists when my college friends told me to give it another try. I made it to 45 and when no one would come play with me I was leveling solo, I just quit again until siege of orgrimmar when another friend got me to try the game again. This time I made it to lvl 90 on a warlock, and I liked mists story but I started watching videos on the lore to try and appreciate the game a bit more and stumbled onto the lore in wrath and Arthas story. I instantly fell in love with it and made a dk, ground to 90 and started raiding but it always felt hollow, like I should have experienced dks in wrath when they were broken or super strong. I never got to try wrath really, and then fastforward to classic being announced but with the drama and fucked up things actiblizz was doing I just couldn't stomach giving them money again so here I am missing out on what looked like the best expansion for the second time and it's being taken away. I wish they would keep servers for all the expansions so people could still go back and play on them to experience the journey. The journey is why I am currently playing SoD and having a great time, one of the few times in playing wow I have actually had fun with the game since Legion playing off and on.

    Wrath was a weird one of me, Hands down it was the most excited I've been for a WoW launch in quite some time due to nostalgia and the want to re-experience memories I have from the original release of WotLK, when It dropped I went hard, levelling both my Warrior and my Mage. The honeymoon period was bliss, I felt like I was 15 again, going through all the quest zones, exploring Northrend again - I was having a blast. Shortly after hitting level cap, I cleared naxx and Obsidian sanctum a couple of times, did wintergrasp once or twice, but I found myself losing interest, the raids were a snoozefest. I found myself dipping back into dragonflight and then hardcore, by the time Ulduar, ToTGC & ICC came out I just had no interest in picking it back up. which I regret, Some of my fondest raid memories are in Ulduar, and I wish i had pushed myself to play again. Ultimately I thing Blizz lost sight of what the Classic WoW era games were suppose to be. Also the pacing felt so awkward, the launch and first tier felt so long and dragged out, then the rest felt like break neck pace.

    When Classic Vanilla came out I saw it as just a bonus experience, a prelude before the really good stuff comes with TBC and culminates with WotLK - the expansion that I truly looked forward to with Classic, to relive my peak gaming years. But as the years went by, Blizzard showed pretty much no care for their Classic community, let the bots run loose, and finally betrayed it's core integrity with the Dark Portal Pass. My experience had already been soured, and by the time the news of lawsuits, inner state of the company, and WoW Token came out, I've realized that there is no hope for anything good coming with WotLK, and I've decided to let my untainted WotLK experience live in my memories and never even touched the newly released Classic version of it, quitting through late TBC Classic and never touching another Blizzard game since.

    I feel like the Cataclysm Classic announcement was a large reason WotLK lost popularity too. For me at least, seeing that WotLK was going to end soon made me unmotivated to keep playing classic. Like others, I feel like Cata is not classic. If they made a WotLK-era server and let people clone characters like they did for vanilla, I think a lot of people would be interested in that.

  • @NG.4769
    @NG.4769 2 месяца назад +1

    First off - RIP Lucy, sorry for your loss brother.
    To follow up, while I do agree with your pointers as being negative to the game, I'd like to make a clear distinction:
    YES, bots were and have been bad in Wrath, and the RMT that follows, however botting and RMT were rampant during 2019 Classic and TBC Classic, but the playerbase continued to surge. YES, the token was awful, but it was more of a nail-in-the-coffin situation for most, the token by itself without all the other negatives would not have had quite the impact, in my opinion. YES, Hardcore/SoD assisted in putting a dent into the Wrath population, but if Wrath was truly more fun than HC/SoD, then the playerbase would have returned.
    ...yet, the playerbase DIDN'T return, and that's for a massively obtuse reason: the changes. When Blizzard announced Classic, they proposed it as NO CHANGES. Most people presumed that to continue along with the life of Classic, and if they were going to make realms with changes then they'd be separated from the Classic trilogy. Yet, Wrath came, and the changes started flooding in. The game began to feel more and more like retail every week. If we wanted to play retail, we'd be playing retail!

    Idk man, I started on skyfury. Left to whitemane when the server population went down. Was top 5 for my class in Naxx in skyfury, as well as my alt being top ten. Swapped to whitemane, hovered around the top 20 mark. Cleared all the content on heroic, hard mode, speed ran, ran and did gdkps. Have every character to 80. Did PvP, got my honor sets the classes I cared about. Wrath was exactly what I expected it to be in the modern wow landscape. Easy content with accessible rewards for alts. The bot issue has been an epidemic since classic relaunch, but I don’t really know anyone that is upset with how wrath went. Outside of the wow token, and the botting, everything else went as planned. I also was playing hardcore and sod throughout, leveled to 60 on unofficial as a warrior. I’m kinda curious what people were expecting, and also how the points mentioned shattered those expectations

    For me, WoW was only about the content as a jumping off point. I was “lucky” to really come up in my strongest gameplay during BC. But it was really about my friends and the journeys we had. Hopping on ventrilo way too early after going to bed way too late. Stories and laughs that I remember vividly to this day. Those were the golden days.

  • @rustedhammer533
    @rustedhammer533 2 месяца назад +2

    I would say lack of content in wrath was one of the big ones.
    SoD for sure but my guild was already dead before that. D4 had a little bit to do with it to. That definitely pulled some play away for a few weeks and then when they from out D4 sucked they just didn't come back.
    But yeah content. There just isn't a lot of content in wrath that I needed to do again. The guild was pretty much raid logging a few weeks in.
    I've always said wrath is a great story but it was the beginning of the end for wow.

    Cataclysm is simply not an expansion that interests me in classic. It's the one expansion that completely killed a lot of interest in the game for my friends in retail, and it seems to do the same for Classic. You can still engage in the content in it's prime without missing out on anything notable. I can't think of any content that actually has been lost outside of the timegate of Firelands.

    2 things…
    I am sorry for your loss of Lucy. Been there a few times and will continue to. The joy you bring them and the joy they bring you is just amazing. I know you will always cherish her memories and I am sure she cherished her time with you all these years.
    SoD ended what remained of my guild and the last tiny bit of fun I was having. Once the 1st yr was up, the fun began to fall off. Still have my memories but going into Cata, can’t do it. Either just classic or retail. Will always miss my OG wrath days as well as the 1st yr of Wotlk.
    Lastly, do more Nix explores the outdoors vlogs. Cheers!

    IMO WoW's fate was sealed when the expansion model was established with TBC, and everything below max level was seen as irrelevant and if you weren't on the cutting edge of player power you weren't a l33t hep cat, mirroring the attitude of blizz hq itself increasingly view the game as a side hustle and no longer an end but a means to lure blizzcon groupies into the cosby dungeon. Pity that.

    Didn't get a chance to play it competitively though I was looking forward to it. I basically dumped everything into classic vanilla and got all sets/gear/swords on my combat rogue including week 1 gressil. By BC I was burnt out and had to put more time into my relationship and by wrath I wasn't even playing. 34 y/o now, I played vanilla day 1 in 2004 and played on and off since then.

    What killed WOTLK Classic for us was the introduction of the progressive nerfs in ICC combined with the holidays.. people wanted to kill it pre-nerf and due to the office xmas parties and all the other holidays related stuff we couldn't always raid in those weeks efficiently and well, people stopped caring as soon as the buff started and we ended up disbanding for the new year because of it.
