Why aren't you playing WoW? It still has the best raiding and PvP.

Well, what would make you play it?

Vanilla and TBC servers.

Leveling my warlock. Line up secondary objectives in draenor, pop an elixir and go from 92-100 in an hour.

OP here. I got the free gametime promotion, but I probably won't sub because I can't be arsed leveling 9 more characters to max level to enjoy the diverse class gameplay. I'm already bored of queueing my hunter and rogue for PvP, probably because the only reasonable queue times are through Mercenary mode (playing for the other faction), and Horde is absolute shit at PvP. I'm pretty sure we lost every game.

Here's some fuel for the other side.

Got bored after killing Garrosh mythic or whatever it was at the end of siege of orgrimmar. only played the game to raid and chat shit with friends, and their new raiding model looked annoying with all the different modes, plus iirc some of the class changes annoyed me. and I had stuff to do irl couldn't commit to 6 days of raiding at set times again

Nights just aren't as dark as they're supposed to be. They said they were fixing it but that didn't seem to happen?
>world feels dead argument
At least on AD EU, the world is as alive as it ever was. People are everywhere, doing everything, especially if you're into RP. On one of the recent alts I leveled I decided to quest my way up to 60 and I saw people of both factions in every zone I went through, rather frequently too. And WoW is currently the most "inactive" it's been.

>Well, what would make you play it?
No monthly payments, not having to do the same dungeon 50 times before you had access to raiding gear, no "optimal builds" but ways to make every level build work, remove that item that lets you escape any entrapment/stun and has a 5m cooldown or some shit.

Lootgrind has nothing to do with the basic PvP mechanics except how much damage is taken, which is irrelevant if playing from the start of the xpac (or after a few hours).

I do kinda miss it. I was really fucking good at DPS. like almost always 99+percentile for my class, spec and ilvl. I out DPS full mythic dudes, in my mostly heroic gear. My raid awareness wasn't amazing though, so I never even bothered getting into a top tier guild. It was pretty neat being god-tier in a mid-tier guild.
>>
Just started replaying for a bit, and one of the thing annoying me is not having fundamental class abilities available to all specs, and the changing of abilities based on what spec you're in. That was one of the important aspects of talent trees: knowing how you were changing your abilities and what bonuses you were getting. Now, the whole process is weirdly streamlined, like they said "everyone should just know how their spec works" without explaining why one ability now does something different depending on whatever spec you're in at the moment. Its like selecting a healing spec, and rather than being better at healing, they start taking away abilities so you don't get confused and accidentally try to DPS something.

I actually miss the vanilla PvP. It was both the expansion where geared people became insanely powerful compared to those whitout epics, and the expansion where you had the most tools to take down an enemy who is much more powerful than you. When you opened on a t3 mage with nothing but dungeon blues and a frost reflector to your name, AND you managed to wreck his shit, you felt like a fucking giant slayer.
>>
>>338708758

Nope, they should of resetted the world at Catalysm, blew it up and removed Outland and Northrend for the game.

Having those in the game made the main branch dysfunctional as first they talk about deathwing all the time and suddenly at 60-80 they don't talk about him.

if they were gonna redo the whole world they should of just reset it remove outland and northrend and made Cata into the new base expansion sure it would piss people off who couldnt get their invincible, get their mirrons head and so forth but who cares they are just cosmetic rewards and people don't whine about the pvp world.

Then that would of made the game a whole lot better as then they could concentrate on 1 game with 3 mini expansions instead of 2 MAJOR games with 5 mini expansions (anything that alters the main conitent should be considered as a Game change).

Then they could of reused half the raids again, like Ahn Qiraqi where old gods ressurrect with a new insect army and you fight both Cthun and Yogg sauron together

and we do black rock mountain etc instead of the pile of shit tack on crap.

It's an opt-in in your Battlenet account options. Might have to wait a while, might get the confirmation email within a few days.
Once your account gets flagged for PTR access you gain access to another menu which lets you do character copies from your live account. Even if your Live account hasnt been live for a while.
Alternatively, you can make automatic level 100s designed for PvP or for Fury of Hellfire raiding. They come with gear, consumables, and money.

So genius what is the point of Vanilla WOW, BC and Northend in the game for? Of course lets go futhur after WOD is release what is the point of CATA and MOP they have no bearing in the story whatsoever and are deemed useless by Blizzard standards

They already fucking cut the content from the game already with the next expansion so what is your argument for having these expansions in the first place?

Those three trilogy have no bearing to the current fucking story and that series ended it should of been removed when CATA came.

It worked for FFXIV and WOW needs to do it

Nah man you fallen into the same trap as Blizzard, the game shouldn't be about 90% of class balances and 10% of content.

This is why WOW has failed every patch developed during WOTLK has gone towards class development and no actual content at all, this ended at the end of the third expansion.

This what should of happened.

After WOTLK Lich King dead, reset the world.

Remove Outland, Remove WOTLK, Remove Vanilla

Catalysm is now the new baseline expansion, close off the legacy raids and start the game a new.

Probably open the legacy raid in the CAVERNS of TIME a month at a time cycling thru them, same with the dungeons that are matching the current level of the expansions.

Fuck this solo clearing content in record time this gives people something to do during the expansion and heroic dungeons, reuse them but make it worthwhile and put in the effect, hell even have a diablo types effects where it changes the whole composition of the raid.

Then have an option to purchase your house one per account, this can then futhur develop => sunsong ranch in MOP => sunsong ranch in your Garrison in WOD => having champions you developed in Garrison to your class hall in Legion.

Class Spec should of been redeveloped and have a key role which no other class can do, what stupid in blizzard is hearthstone has better mechanics than WOW now.

IT goes on and on.
>>
>>338721647

but what happened is that Blizzard has disjoined their expansions and now all of them are essentially Mini-expansion with either Dalaran or Stormwind/Orgimmar as Tristan and you fighting off Diablo the big baddy in 6 months time.
>>
>>338710157
I think he means that because mounts and pets are boa, instead of having to farm, say INvincible, from ICC 25H once a week at a shot of getting it, you can do it across as many characters that you have higher than level 80, which for a lot of people, is multiple. I've casually played for the past 4 years off and on, and I have 7 characters at max level and 2 that are leveling in wod right now.
>>
>>338720964
>wasn't
>as if the games you'd list still exist

>>338721843

Removed content should of happened, since mounts are cosmetic rewards and have a goal for something to work towards where as WOW now there is no need to do them just LFR see the raid wait for next expac do legacy raids.

>>
>>338722336

They've been reusing Vanilla models since the first expansion.. I rather they remove fucking Timewalking all together.

PUT them in the "CAVERNS OF TIME" that's what it's there for bro, they ignored the entire concept of the Caverns of Time by enforcing this timewalking shit.

Imagine this, instead of having this Timewalking shit, you have Vanilla Content and raids cycling in 6 months, so first cycle is 5 Dungeons at level 110, and 40 Man MC at level 110 and is challenging, they could also add in Diablo type effects to deal with in addition to the legacy content, like you have to kill all the Core hounds away from the flame elements if they explode they will resurrect them you could do massive amounts of shit just by focusing and allowing addition effects.

Timewalking is just lazy just reduce level and join a fucking party with party finder fuck that.

Why not have both? Not everyone has done MC back in Vanilla, why not and removing it from the actual game and reusing it a timed basis in Caverns of Time would be much better.

You want to keep legacy content that has no bearing on the story so you can waltz in and have a chance to get an heroic mount... with a gazillion dollars from the mob why not just add a building in stormwind that gives u a gatchpa capsule that you have a 1% chance of a mount with a couple of thousands of gold for once a week?

>>338723097

Well how about this? If you want new content I describe a better way.

Make the legacy content themed during the Expansions.

Say in MOP, 40 MC is based around eastern mythos and all the bosses have a mythical feel too them similar to Mogushan Vaults.

Say in WOD 40 man MC is based around the Iron horde, where they have chains and explosions.

and in Legion 40 man MC is based themed around the Legion where the raid is based around fel energy.

Something like that the legacy content is themed towards the current expansion rather than just being "vanilla" legacy content.

Fuck, if you want difficult long content, go raiding. That's what it's there for. Dungeons are the small content, so naturally it's a bit shorter. Who would want to run a one and a half fucking hour long dungeon in the middle of the expansion? Nobody. that's who.

>No Arena/BG

This was already done in MOP, and was more surprising this just extends on that but they should do more stuff like this.

>> world boss you can summon in your garrison

Nah don't like this at all.... This doesn't add anything in the game in the slightest just another short term fix mob.

Do you think Blizzard should make a sequel to WoW, sort of like how FFXIV was a successor to FFXI.

The models and textures of wow are still so old, and there still so many problems with the game, as well as tons of unused content. And at this point because of the number of expansions the number scaling of health and damage has gotten to laughable levels.

I think it would be really cool if they just made the whole game anew, starting at the a normal level cap of 50/60 with normal number scaling. And they would also give all the classes a remake, truly refining all the rough edges, and it would allow them to make much more needed drastic changes that they can't do in legion for fear of isolating those classes player base.

Best of all of would let them fix the train wreck that is the lore now.

Blood DK, Prot Paladin, Brewmaster Monk, Sub Rogue, all 3 mage specs, both Demon Hunter specs, Survival, Beast Mastery, Fury and Arms. Destro Lock is debatable, the gameplay isn't changed a lot but it's just got a really retarded mastery.

I've been clamoring for a reboot since WoD was announced. They'll never do it because they'll never cut the cord to players who say "I've been playing this character for a decade, you can't stop developing content for meeeeeeee".

The current talent tree is better than the old one. You might ask how that could possibly be true, after all you went from having 40+ talent points to 10, but the answer lies in what the talents do. Before each talent tree would have two or three major talents which defined the class and a bunch of minor stuff like extra chance to dodge. Now you choose between 21 major gameplay defining talents. Because of this you actually have many more potential options then before.

>>338726951
You're clearly biased against old talent trees for shitposting's sake. The old talent trees had 51/61/71 talent points compared to 7 currently. Only a small handful of talents in each tree were +1% to a stat or something similar. The vast majority altered your abilities and the way the class played in a meaningful way. When you have that many talent trees and that many options, you have the ability to create unique builds and exercise creativity which is paramount in an RPG. The current trees are cookie cutter horseshit where the best talent choice for a certain encounter is clear as day and you're either forced to take it or end up doing significantly worse. There's no choice or individuality with the current trees just because you swap your talents to the right ones based on the encounter.

tl;dr choice and options > lack thereof

>>338726951
You literally disproved your point with that spec. What you posted is a Healing Wave, Tank Healing focused spec for Resto Shamans. Most Resto Shamans would not take those talents forcused on Healing Wave at all, since downranked Chain Heal and Lesser Healing Wave were generally better. Instead, they'd go into the Elemental tree and take Elemental Warding after Ancestral Knowledge, which was fantastic in BWL and AQ where there was tons of Fire/Frost damage.

>>338727327

Even though I will argue for the new talent tress, the way they are currently doing them is completely wrong.

Talents should augment your abilities not change what you should be able to cast and not be able to cast. It just makes talent trees horseshit and becames essentially the same way will play diablo III vanilla

All talents should be passives augmenting an ability one way or another you don't want to be constantly swapping to make an encounter easier.

And this >>338727327
says it clearly talents need to augment not select certain spells that need to be cast which what the old talent trees did not do.

Imagine you play a holy priest and choose a talent that can augment your healing spells into damage spells for 30 seconds that will be one of the options on a talent tree and would change a class being played where as now it's picking one ability over another.

Are you high? Most of the talents where +damage or +healing.
It was cookie cutter as fuck. You had more points but less choice. let's take BC shadow for instance. You HAD to put at least 49 points in shadow and 7 in Discipline to be a PvE shadow. No other options for the entire content.
And what do we take in shadow?
>spirit tap, mandatory to get to next tier
>Shadow affinity, 25% less threat
>Impv. SW:P, 6 sec more Dot time for SWP
>Shadow Focus, 10% less resist chance

>Mind Flay, spell needed for rotation
>shadow reach, 20% more reach
>Shadow Weaving, 10% more shadow damage
>Vampirc Embrace, Needed to get Shadowform
>Focused Mind, 15% less mana cost for 2 main spells
>Darkness 10% more spellpower
>Shadow Power: 15% more crit for 1 main spell and 1 finisher
>Shadowform: 15% damage increase
>Misery: 5% extra damage
>Vampiric touch, dot needed to do damage
DISC talents:
>Unbreakable will, needed to get to tier 2
>Improved PW:F: 30% more stamina on stamina buff

Oh pleeeeaseeee.. tell me how that's not "just a bunch of % based increases"
you know what my "customization options" are now?
I now can choose between Improved vampirirc embrace for a bit more healing (doesn't do much), go improved fear into silence (not needed for PvE) or take decreased spell crit chance against me (also not needed in PvE as Mobs can't spell crit)
OR I can go in Disc and take more wand damage? or reduced holy/disci thread? Putting 3 points into a PERCENTAGE BASED PW:Shield increase is actually the only viable option here. so we take 3 here. Now we put the other two into 20% mana regen while in-combat and we're done.

WOW THAT'S WELL DIFFERENT NOW!

Your statement demonstrates the problem with the talent trees, sure you have more and more options but if they become necessary then they should be baseline spells and the talents should just augment them, you have to make a decision and can't get everything.

Make you swap willy nilly in raids and so forth is just silly, cause it just trivalizes content and you have no individuality in classes. Could go on and on but versatility for versatility sake is just wrong.

if i wanted a competitive game then i'd go and play one that's actually designed with that in mind. dota, csgo, tf2, all better than fucking wow. pvp in wow has always been and will always be an afterthought. a small add-on to the main game.

blizzard has been desperately trying to force the 'WoW is serious eSports guys! it really is!' angle for nearly ten years now, with all their arena tournaments and blizzcon showmatches and sponsored events - and it NEVER caught on. you'd think the pvp crowd would have taken the hint by now, but apparently they still haven't read the memo.

You must not have played much with old talent trees, or at all, if you think it was cookie cutter as fuck and the new talent trees aren't. You're being obtuse for shitposting's sake.

>You HAD to put at least 49 points in shadow and 7 in Discipline to be a PvE shadow. No other options for the entire content.
No you didn't. You had a dozen different options for your build. Did you have a tank that could hold threat? Did you want to be a mana battery and never go OOM? PvE or PvP? Did you want to be a livelord or all-out offensive? etc etc. You showing yourself to be ignorant and inexperienced with the older game if you think more talent options led to more cookie cutter talent builds, or if you think the majority of talents were boring and unimpactful.

>The new talent trees might be smaller but at least I have some decision making going on here between the viable talents. I switched talents more often in this contents than respecc in all of classic + bc.
You had plenty of decision making with old talent trees. There's very little, if any at all, decision making going on with the new trees. Am I facing a Mage/Druid/Hunter? Tiger's Lust. Am I facing a team that deals magic damage? Diffuse Magic. Everything else never changes, and what does change is decided for me.

You change talents so often because it's basically free to do and can be done anywhere.

>>338729101
No. Every tree had "mandatory" taents, and you couldn't get them all. You went for the key 21-/31-point talents that you'd like to use and filled in the rest as you saw fit. Most other talents were utility, so you had a limitless amount of combinations that you could choose to best match your playstyle and gear.

>>338729101
>Sure they had more 'choices' but they were completely terrible and silly ones
That's where we disagree I guess. a +5% change in damage from a certain source could completely change your damage/healing priority and change the way your class is played. And the +5% stat talents were few and far between to begin with, most of the talents were way more interesting.
>>
>>338729515
>As you saw fit

You mean making terrible silly builds? Like I said good for you wanting to have that choice, but I'd rather it not even be an option to make terrible builds. The number of viable builds in Vanilla are no more numerous than in Warlords. Your gimmick builds are so different than someone picking terrible combinations today, but even more ways to mess it up.
>>
>>338727327
>The vast majority altered your abilities and the way the class played in a meaningful way.
That simply is not true. Just look at the enhancement tree. Only Stormstrike, 2h Weapons, and maybe shield specialization have to potential to change how you might play. Everything else is "do more damage" or "your buffs are better"

The problem is a lot of the "unique creative builds" like this poster's offensive resto shaman >>338727727 are not viable due to the way the game is balanced, and whenever a hybrid spec popped up like Frostfire or destro/demo in BC they would get nerfed into the non-existence.

>The current trees are cookie cutter horseshit where the best talent choice for a certain encounter is clear as day and you're either forced to take it or end up doing significantly worse
This absolutely is not true for resto shaman on retail. Until MoP our only realistic choices were taking ghost wolf, making healing wave better, or taking less elemental damage.

Fuck no, there was almost no other option. You take all the PvE talents and leave the PvP talents.
here's a talent builder: http://calculators.iradei.eu/talents/priest
Post me a PvE specc that doesn't put 49 points in shadow. And don't give me that "No shadow affinity" bullshit because with Mind Blasts increased threat it doesn't matter how good your tank was, if you were any decent as a shadow you WILL pull aggro without it.

And yes the free talent choice helps. But the point is: It actually MATTERS. You can change specs on a Boss to boss basis. there is actually some damn OPTIONS in there. There wasn't in the old model. Ever.

A shitload of talents didn't matter at all as far as min-/maxing went. Off the top of my head, as a PvE combat specced rogue you could either get +3% dodge or +1.5 sec gouge duration, get improved sprint that dispelled all slows or roots when activated, or improved kick that gave 2 sec silence, +2% damage on humanoids and dragons or a 40% crit buff after killing a target, etc etc. "Every talent gave you stat bonuses!" is a retarded meme perpetrated by WoD fanboys.

Shadowfrost DK, Spellhance Shaman with double Flametongue that I played. Both of these were outright removed from the game. Any lack of choice in talent trees post wrath wasn't because of design, it was because any time anyone did anything original, Blizzard removed it.

people put either 4/5 or 1/5 improved mind blast, depending on their haste rating
people also put less than 5 in shadow focus, depending on the hit rating on their gear

I even took Shadow Affinity for you even though it's not 100% mandatory like you imply.

>You can change specs on a Boss to boss basis. there is actually some damn OPTIONS in there.
Being able to change talents on the fly with zero cost is retarded to begin with. It shouldn't be able to happen.

And no there aren't options. Just because you change your single target talent to an AoE talent for a certain encounter doesn't mean you have a choice. It's decided for you which talent you'll take. It's the illusion of choice and everyone else does it. There's no thought process, there's no individuality, there's no real customization. It's a terrible system for an RPG.

>cata tree
Fuck's sake. The whole talent prune wasnt that outrageous, but them forcing you to put 31 of your points into one tree before letting you use the others was completely retarded.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>
>>338729515
Yes every tree had mandatory talents. and Usually you could get them all. If you left it out it was usually not mandatory. Most other talents were utility because there were only 3 kinds of talents.
>spells
>%improvements
>utility, like "chance to net got interupted by damage"
almost every class had a cookie cooker specc. a "you are requiered to take these, and if anything is over go nuts" the left over points usually didn't make much of a difference.
Take priest for instance. If you're a Priest in classic and you put all your points in Discipline they're just not gonna raid with you. Easy as that. No one needs a discipline priest. There was no choice to NOT take these holy talents as a classic priest healer.

>WoW thread
Okay then, here's a question - Why do levelling dungeons now play like they're tuned for 3 players (1 tank, 1 healer, 1 DPS) rather than 5? Why do even the bosses die so fast that some classes can't even get their rotation up and running? Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?
>>
>>338730186
Technically everything can be a death knight. It's just a soul in a resurrected body. No Lore Issues there.
>>
>>338730038
yep
i remember hybrid druids who specced balance until moonkin, then used the rest of their points for restoration talents.
also felguard/emberstorm warlocks, and some weird combat/sub rogues who abused honor among thieves or something like that

all gone
now you just get to pick your spec and that dictates your playstyle, period.

They talk a bit about leveling at the start of this. They at least acknowledge it's broken and say they're going to work on a fix once Legion is out of the way.
>>
>>338730223
That "cookie cutter" you speak off went down to several key talents. For combat rogue it was imp SS, sword/dagger/fist weapon spec, blade flurry and AR, and you had to put 31 points into combat to get AR, so all the spare points went wherever you wanted them to be. Then you put the remaining 20 into assassination tree, which was pretty straightforward, but even it had some variations.

This is the reason I'd never recommend WoW to anyone, and why I hate even being subscribed. There is zero content after the first month or so of a patch, and this current patch has lasted for over a year. Blizzard has done this shit countless times before, and they think fucking pet battles and other bullshit weekly events will compensate for the lack of content. Fuck off.

Raid bosses from MoP onwards have just become total clusterfucks. It's like the only way they can think of to make fights challenging is have a billion adds or dodgeable attacks. Almost none of the raid bosses from the last two expansions actually feel original, or like they have a memorable identity.

>>
>>338730312
All of the class changes and damage tweaks that work at end-game stats trickle down and get completely fucked at low levels. Every once in a while they do a pass to try to make things not completely retarded while leveling, but a few patches later we're right back to tank AoEs hitting harder than single-target abilities. Honestly, if a tank below level 60 isn't soloing the dungeon and doing more damage than the entire party combined, they don't know what they're doing.
>>
>>338731289
WoW tokens still indirectly give Blizzard money. I also think it's $5 more than an actual sub as well isn't it? Either way for all intents and purposes you're giving them money.

Man up and get rid of "cross-realm" bullshit, merge realms until each has a respectable population. Realms no longer cross over. End of story.

Get rid of LFR and looking-for-dungeon, and battleground queues. Bring back LFG channel, but put the focus on the group finder/maker. No more long-distance queuing for things. Have to physically go to the meeting stones. Boost drop rate as a response. Rely more heavily on personal loot.

Bring back dailies and reputation grinding the way Wrath of the Lich King had it. Include wearing tabards in dungeons as well.

Get rid of multiple raid difficulties. All it does is split up the already thinning playerbase. Normal difficulty straight through, which is geared for by running actually difficult Heroic dungeons. Heroic raids should exist, but they should be more like Wrath-style raiding, with specific unique mechanics to "activate" harder fights for more loot. Not just bigger numbers and maybe 1-2 small new mechanics.

I still feel dirty about getting my Glad title back in the day in a 3s team in which I was the healer. Mostly because I had always been DPS, but got desperate to do better in PVP.

I always talked about wanting to get it as DPS, seeing myself as really solid in that role, but I only ever did good in arena as a healer. Mostly, 'cause it turns out, I'm shit as DPS and a much better healer.
