11/08/2018 03:19 PMPosted by SaintangerWhile we're at it, please also remove the high level herbs, fish, and mining nodes so people who come to av actually f'ing play AV instead of having a dozen people on each side afk and farm resources. Replace them with an AV resource to buff your faction.Gotta remove mob experience as well.I leveled 2 characters ENTIRELY from 51-60 inside AV so I'd passively get the rep as I leveled.I think the big concern for the older AV (which I also heavily prefer to the 1.12 garbage that's basically the same as live) is the marks system... You'd get 1 mark for losing…

11/09/2018 05:07 PMPosted by Moonbladeuh- actually. i just spent time explaining that feral was very viable.I don't consider exploiting interactions between feral dps and the items manual crowd pummeler and Wolf'shead Helm to constitute "viability". I consider those items themselves to be broken, and in the way of feral actually getting fixed.

The OP is referencing a post from a warlock in the original vanilla WoW forums that went viral and he became pretty famous for it. Famous enough to have a card in the WoW trading card game named after him.To which I reply from the second, lesser known teachings of Kralnor:ok, guys, how simple can you be? ITS A !&$%ING TOPIC ABOUT STAFF USERS, if your not a staff user, GET YOUR !@# OUT!!!!!!!! Jesus!!!!(yes that's an actual quote, Follow Kralnor's commandment #3)https://wow.gamepedia.com/Kralnor

Moonkin where terrible everywhere but PvP, which they where still terrible in because they couldn't get decent PvE gear because they where terrible there.. If you could actually get a guild to carry you to good gear however, they where really strong in PVP.Also, the purist brigade demand that you play resto, and only resto.... because you're clearly terrible person for expecting that maybe, just maybe, you might not suck at a role you spent 30 some talent points in a tree for... and get deeply offended when you point out that maybe some balance changes could be made, because the REAL vanilla w…

Warlock because sm/ruin is one of my favorite builds of all time for this game in any class, let alone warlock. (likely main) Rogue because I'm confident I'll be able to alt raid it to decent gear and I'm curious to think about what my vanilla alt would have done, in better gear (likely alt, but potentially main)Then it's a 2 hander class for my next alt... Leaning towards enhancement but warrior is a small possibility... With the shaman I can gear for ele and enhance over time... Not really sure if I'll really be able to really gear it up like I'd want, however, Via time constraints. Mage, sh…

I believe this loosely translates into "I was stupid enough to pay real money for a 4 level demo" and now think I'm entitled to a beta slot"..On the list of people who will likely get in, I'd wager active subscribers probably have a minor leg up, particularly if they've ever done the betas and actually provided feedback/testing info previously.... At the very least active Bnet Accounts (any Blizzard game), particularly those with vanilla era experience that opt in are ideal candidates...The "active bnet account" in this case just makes it easier on Blizzard's end to actually gauge playtime a…

It's because purists don't trust Blizzard.... and are too stupid to realize that if Blizz screws it up in any way, that the Pservers will just come back in force and provide the exact same experience they claim to want Blizz to provide.That is of course ignoring that their "authentic" 1.12 trivializes much of the content, has broken-faceroll threat mechanics compared to the rest of the vanilla's timeline, has the terrible version of AV, tons of welfare gear, hybrids still all suck outside of healing, Warriors are still broken overpowered as DPS via feedback loop rage scaling mechanics, dishono…

11/07/2018 10:48 PMPosted by LôrdgrimOn my Horde progression guild, we brought elemental, boomkin, enhancement, and we had a single tank druid.And what happens to guilds who do that:Is they progress less quickly, and start bleeding the desirable specs/players to better guilds who poach them to fill their ranks as people burnout over time..... Causing the hybrid guild to further stall on progress, and further bleed out their good players to poaching until they end up being nothing more than a "minor league team" feeding good players to the majors while the hybrids wallow around in a Sisyphean …

I vote no, as it was in OG vanilla...You want to see what gear someone is wearing? Inspect them in game.Looking to know their progression level? See above. Their gear will tell you much of the story. Beyond that, your reputation mattered and if things are actually tuned like they where in vanilla, you will know the people who are progressed vs those that aren't because you know their guild/group by reputation or them either personally or secondhand.You want to see their talent choices? Start paying their subscription fee. In many cases this can also be done via actually talking to them... for …

11/07/2018 08:15 PMPosted by Matcauthon11/07/2018 07:56 PMPosted by AkaidianHow balance is being handled: It will be 30% warriors, 20% rogues, 20% mages, 10% priests, 20 % everything elseOh look it's akaidian. If he had his way you would have no reason to play a rogue at all. Rogues have the highest dps potential for a class that mechanically gets to all but ignore threat as a mechanic (hunters being the other, but they do lower output)... Rogues would still have a place in raids even if hybrids had the nearly the same output for that fact alone. The only concern for rogues at the raid level i…
