I honestly think vanilla wow is one of the best and most important games of all time. It is looking likely that we'll get official legacy servers tho.

Not OP but:
Mate, Ive been in AVs that lasted for whole days. Did you really play vanilla?
>>341280758

>>341281076
there's plenty of sandbox games out now, just no sandbox MMOs because the audience is so niche that it's unprofitable in the longrun.

Yes it did. Some lasted for several days.
>>341280431
I've experienced all those things though.
>>341281385
How would anybody know the niche's popularity? There is a single sandbox MMO, and it fucks off players with 20y of skill queues.
>>341280889
it's not gonna have the playerbase to be worth it. a lot of people are just glad there's something to be righteous about after Nostalrius was shut down. these people are gonna lose their fervour for the thing at around level 10. the servers will be up for 6 months total and dead after 2 screen cap this

A sense of grief, and also relief
It sucked up so much time, but was fun

The current world bosses are pretty much fucking identical, experience wise, to old world bosses, minus having to dredge your realm for hours on end to get a group together.
I do miss Reck-bombing motherfuckers, though.
Unless you actually just like terrible shit (who am I kidding, it's /v/), Vanilla WoW was not a better game than it is now. It may have been a better sandbox social-club for NEET losers, but it wasn't a better game.
>>341280758
There were ones much longer than that. When I was 11 I played 2 hours of an Alterac valley match, handed the controls off to my dad (he played WoW all the way up to Cata, then quit) who then played 3 hours, I took it for 2 more hours, and the match still wasn't done.
>>341281981
>implying blizzard can't afford a loss for good pr
>>341284086
For real? Damn man. AV was pretty chill for me. It was like its own persistent zone where you could come home from school, hop into AV and go fish, talk to people, maybe kill a rogue trying to harass your NPCs etc. Then in a day or so they final push would come often with an elemental lord and you'd either win or go another day and the enemy would push and the match would pretty much be decided. It was cool - though hell if you were 51 and just wanted that damn Ice-barbed Spear. Such a great weapon.

You instantly open with some retarded ass shit. Make some friends and join a guild, finding groups for anything becomes rarely ever a problem.

Druids were incredibly good raid healers. At least 1-2 was standard in every 40 man.
>Vanilla WoW was not a better game than it is now.

>>341285305
druids weren't that good to have until they changed it and allowed multiple hots of the same kind on a target, then people liked them otherwise priests were the champs for healing vanilla
I didn't ever raid as horde during vanilla so I dont know about shamans
>>341285932
>druids weren't that good to have until they changed it and allowed multiple hots of the same kind on a target
You don't need HoT stacking for 1-2 Druids to be amazing for raid healing, you just split up group assignments. You don't have a lot of experience with the game, do you?
I have only ever played Vanilla.
Is it true nowadays you LFG across all servers so you just level up by staying in a city and running dungeons? You don't need to physically fight mobs and go to the entrance?
>>341286504
unless you're down ranking all of your hots, you're going oom unless you waste the innervate on yourself instead of the priest doing the actual healing
i started raiding around the time bwl was released, it's been a while but pretty sure I've actually been there and not a private server with all the patches
I don't remember how many druids we ran with, around 1 or 2 probably but the only one was decent and was always outshined by everybody else. once said patch hit that I mentioned earlier (it was during naxx I believe) we stacked druids and priests because hots made everything easier, I remember particularly maexxna
>>341281807
Because there were many sandbox MMOs before and after WoW and they all died.
Now you're left with Oldschool Runescape private servers and EVE online.
>>341287171
Correct.
>>341287442
>unless you're down ranking all of your hots, you're going oom
Every healer downranks everything. Every healer goes oom very quickly. Innervate was used on either or, depending on who was more important for the particular encounter you were on. Druids were standard raid healers.

If you don't know what these are you don't know shit about Vanilla and you're the cancer that killed PvP.
>>341288910
There's no WPvP because there's no reason to be in zones.
There's still plenty of action on servers that have decent faction ratios. ED has raids into Stormshield abundantly.

As a vanilla player; in my opinion the feeliest feel is:
>you will never experience the level 1 - 60 journey on vanilla again (on your first character)
Oh but it can come back. I don't even miss being young. I don't miss not having any problems in my life. I don't miss having no uncertainity in my future.
But I do fucking miss vanilla, I do miss STV where it's kill or be killed, I do miss glorious worldboss fights, I do miss charging through a crowd of enemy players just to reach the raid entrance and I do miss actually making friends in game just because I help them kill that nasty-ass rogue. And I miss all of those things most of all because I experienced them 3 months ago, on Nostalrius. And now they're gone.
But they can return. If Blizzard remakes legacy, all those things will return again. It's not about nostalgia, it's not about us being younger and grass being greener or some other shit. It's about the game, the game that is better than anything we have now.
rrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee
>>341280431
Vanilla WoW was awful in retrospect. It had a bunch of glaring game design issues.
Classes were largely inbalanced. Rogues abilities had minimum scaling with gear since their abilities had high base damage, often leading to naked rogues being able to dominate fully geared people. Paladins were expected tank because healing was a joke compared to priest or shaman and retribution offered pitiful DPS in both single/multitarget and utility compared to mage or warrior. The list goes on and on.
Specs were illusion of choice, there was always a objectively best cookie cutter spec for PVE and PVP that's been theorycrafted and proven to be the most optimal. So you often ran into people abusing the same shitty talents until they get nerfed for that specific piece of content.
Endgame largely consisted of farming the same repeated endgame instances each week for a chance to obtain higher item level gear. After being raidlocked for that week, you spent the rest of your week either AFKing on your mount in a major city hoping for a PVP BG queue, waiting something to happen in trade chat, or you were grinding your ass off killing mobs in Wintergrasp or some high level area farming money and materials to prepare for your "epic" raid next week (especially if you were doing Naxx40). If you were too casual to do that, you most likely made dozens of alts and were leveling those until your raid lockout reset or new content came out 6+ months later.
Vanilla was utter shit from a game design perspective. It was literally a skinnerbox Themepark that raped Warcraft RTS lore and catered to casual players who couldn't handle Everquest or even a MUD.
>>341292464

Yes, and most issues adressed were gradually fixed towards late vanilla. Underpowered warlocks? See Drakedog 1vX'ing people. Overpowered warriors or rogues? See Vurtne 1vX'ing them or defeating T2 geared ones naked. WoW as seen in 1.12.1 is literally a perfect game.
Not to mention that roguecraft was obviously directed at people not very accustomized to PvPwhich is forgiveable given how young the game was back then, since it seriously mentions "the surprise advantage" which will make any serious PvP'er laugh today.

Horseshit, outside of garrote(fucking worthless, breaks your CC) it was only a finishing move, eviscerate. Which didn't do a whole lot of damage and was only used in PvP since slice and dice scaled far better.
And pallies didn't fucking tank, they were the best healers by far once they had some +healing and crit because of the ridiculous mana efficiency.
You're not wrong but you clearly don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

What made Vanilla so good? I just remember the community on multiple realms being toxic as fuck in PVP just like League of Legends and the game tried really hard to cater to casuals on the forums who complain a lot which made the game what it is today.

>>341280431
b..but they met with the nost devs, they'll announce vanilla servers at blizzcon right..?
>>341296047
The community was "toxic" because on each realm, there was competition. Between guilds, between premades, between factions. That's what made the world feel alive. The social aspect was what mattered the most - for example, if you ninjaed an item from a guild, your name instantly became known to everyone, and with no server or faction or name change, you were permanently cucked out of joining any other guild, ever. Actions had consequences.
>>341296285
Vanilla was hella casual compared to Ultima or Everquest. Vanilla WoW started the whole Themepark MMO trend with soloable quests and linear questhubs.

or just make another character and powerlevel them up to the level cap in a month, there were bots and addons designed specifically for this.
What's the general consensus on the upcoming Legions so far? Looking underwhelming?
I think part of the magic of Vanilla was the state of our lives at the time.
A lot of us were high school/college aged, with few real world responsibilities and all the time in the world to blow on video games.
The internet also wasn't as organized as it is today, data-mining wasn't really a thing yet and websites were filled with mis-information.
A lot of Vanilla game mechanics just seem frustrating when you go back and try a private server. Even though Blizzard has made many, many errors, there have been significant QoL changes made over the years that you don't realize until you regress.
That's why you can never re-capture that magic. It's a potent mix of naivety, nostalgia, and innocence of a time long past.
Let go anon.
Let go.
>>341297126
every zone had a level range and eventually everyone would be railroaded into the same zone to level either because it's the best source of EXP or the quest rewards are relevant for their class.
>>341297175
So you wasted a hundred of hours of your life just to start again from square one while extracting zero benefit from the item you stole.

I made it to rank 11, and it literally took 4 months of 24/7 grinding to get to that rank. Things spend up after awhile when I joined an awesome pvp group that almost never lost.
As much as I loved Vanilla, I forgot how straight up cancer the questing structure was until I tried a private server.
Give new WoW shit all you want, it deserves it, but questing is light years better than it used to be.
>>341297119
Face it man, WoW was miles better and so it attracted many people.
>>341297861
The game itself wasn't that good man. It was the social aspect that made it what it was.
>>341297263
From what I've read garrison table is back but for your order hall now, apparently it has a lesser role but is still somewhat required because the devs wanted to keep offline progression for those that liked it. Leveling is supposed to be fun so is the demon hunter. On the forums people seem to think that it's better than warlords though.

>>341298710
I find your position really weird. You say you've played vanilla and enjoyed it, yet you claim that you won't be able to play and enjoy it again, even though thousands of people do just that.
I'm starting to think it's just a (sub)conscious mechanism to avoid getting the addiction again.
>>341298883
>endgame is everything
Unlike current WoW, Vanilla wasn't a mindless race to the "endgame' skipping everything. Only a minority raided seriously. The rest did whatever they wanted to do and still enjoyed the game. There was plenty to do. "Endgame" is not an argument against Vanilla. If anything it's only an argument in its favor, because it was like a cherry on top in addition to everything else you could do. As it exists right now, WoW offers nothing besides that, and the "endgame" itself is insufficient.

>>341299246
This. Unlike the WoW today, Vanilla WoW wasn't a gear treadmill. You could do whatever you want once you hit 60, raids, world pvp, BGs, farm rep, socialize, craft gear, duel outside of org, raid factions, and more. Compared to WoD, you hit cap, sit in your garrison doing your facebook games, and hit LFG to get better gear.
>>341299246
>Vanilla wasn't a mindless race to the "endgame'
but it was, I remember tons of people speedrunning SM Cath just so they can powerlevel and get to the level cap endgame faster. Even after reaching the level cap, the endgame was literally "grind this instance to get higher item level gear". Whether it was PVE instance for raid gear or a PVP battleground for honor for PVP gear. Outside of hardcore raiding or elitist PVP, casuals were AFKing in major cities or leveling alts.
>>341299914
I prefer old WoW, but you can do all those things and some more today you know.
>>341299246
You misunderstand me, when I say "endgame" I meant level 60 content, which there was a ton of.
The main thing that turns me off Vanilla is flashbacks of the level grind.
Granted it's not THAT bad, but it's still a struggle for me, especially when you straight up run out of quests towards the end (if I remember it right.)
>>341299914
You could literally do all that in current WoD and much more.
What the fuck?
>>341299710
Of course the "wah" effect is gone, but there are many more things besides it. For example, I bet I wouldnt be dying to play vanilla WoW today if I hadn't discovered the joy of killing people in front of BRM some 3-4 years ago.

this
the main incentive to raiding/pvp was the rewards which was purple name colored gear. to call Vanilla WoW not a gear treadmill goes against the game's core design.

How many hours? I pretty much lived WoW and WC3 custom maps back then since I was 15 and only had school to worry about. It was my second MMO and I loved everything about it except the grinding (I still remember seeing the Time to Level at ~2 hours on Titanpanel and being ecstatic about it). Community, as shitty as it was, trumps the current one regardless of which version of the game.

Vanilla WoW was for kids who couldn't handle Ultima/Everquest.
>>341280431
Feels good to know that people can finally accept that WoW is dead and Vanilla/Nost was just a fad.
I enjoy playing WoW with my buddies! And I will enjoy playing legion with my buddies!!!
p.s wod was hot garbage and im glad it's finally over

> faggots arguing over which mindless timesink is more hardcore
>>341304616
Everquest was a better timesink than normiecraft.
>>341305756
>everquest
>good
maybe for the first year lol

I'll never understand early Tier set pieces. Take Dragonstalker's for example, great 3 and 8 set bonus because it actually provides what hunters need. Damage. Then you get to the 5 set bonus, a slight health and resistance buff to your fucking pet.

ok Metzen

Everything being about your DPS or HPS is why everything is boring as fuck now. Unique set bonuses that might allow you to perform outside your standardized role were cool.

holy shit i haven't seen this much salt since Sony's VR """""""""""""conference"""""""""""""

I miss when trinkets actually did cool things like reflect frost damage or polymorph people. Now it's just "press button to increase attack power for 20s".
>>341307583
that pic is so true though
Vanilla WoW has to be one of the most overrated games on /v/ ever.
>>341308386
In my case, not at all
>>341280431
Watch the Asmongold video on Nostalrius.
He thinks that Blizzard is going to release legacy servers in the next year for a fact
>>341280431
>How does it feel to know that Vanilla WoW is never coming back /v/?
I just want all those memories back. I miss Vanilla.
>>341280431
>You will never fight in another Southshore/Tarren Mill raid
>You willl never experience the opening of AQ40
The gates on my realm opened at like 3am and the server was so fucking unstable. I took the boat to kalimdor and ended up in stonetalon mountains.
Also, my guild didn't disband on C'thun because we weren't shitters. :^)we disbanded on 4HM
Also I hate all these nostcucks that claim to have played vanilla and hail it as the best version of WoW when TBC was way better.
>>341280758
shit nigga, I played on Silvermoon and we had a 28 hour AV game and they was small time compared to other realms.
>b-but you had to be social and group up in Vanilla to get anything done!
As someone who played FFXI, I fucking hate WoWfags who say this. You only grouped up for instanced content or for once-in-awhile scripted things like a group quest or a world boss.
Back in my day before WoW, grouping up was essential in FFXI just to make it to the next fucking town, let alone level. Mobs were ruthless and wouldn't hesitate to kill you if you weren't prepared. Dying in PvE was a big deal since you could lose experience points and casual handout quests that gave tons of EXP and good loot rewards for collecting 8 boar asses weren't exactly commonplace.

Drakedog and Vurtne literally killed people lower level than them while using potions and engineering and having linkin park in the background. Why do people who never played Vanilla act like they did? Is it for e-cred?
>>341309763
But BC introduced Arenas. Which were fine by themselves until Blizzard started getting super cereal about balancing the game.
I want to finish Naxxrammas. Fuck I loved raiding that place.
Remember the guilds that couldn't even kill the gargoyle trash?
>>341310456
When the Naxx PTR came out I made a mage just to screw around and I went into Naxx with a pug and we couldn't kill the gargoyle trash
>>341307583
What does sony has to do with this shit ?
