Soulstones aren't out of combat resurrections, but yes, Blizz patched out the only job PVE Shamans had in classic pretty quickly. I know, I know, it's 1.12 and Shamans are actually decent at healing and buffing their group at that point, assuming they manage to not run out of mana.

Blarghagh Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 What are you talking about, our job was to provide windfury totem so the warrior tank could generate better rage. 1
Azdeus Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Pfft, it was to give the 2h'er rogue more DPS, let's not lie here. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Humanoid Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Why would you ever give Bloodlust to group 1? But yeah, the day they added the combat pulse was a sad day. I felt like such a ninja when on our first Ragnaros kill I was able to vanish and use my jumper cables on a priest, and they in turn were out of combat for a short while too.

mkreku Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 I played a paladin wayyy back in the beta days, when paladin was actually fun to play. You had a few attack options and a few defense options, but they all relied on the same mana pool. That meant that if you were too offensive, you would die. If you weren't offensive enough the fight lasted forever. It was great fun trying to balance that. Also, the combat felt instantaneous and fun. Then the game released properly and they changed paladin into a "sit and wait for the progress bar to finish" type of character. They removed all actively used skills/spells and instead gave everything huge cooldown times. Totally killed the class for me. I switched to rogue and had fun with that until they released all those stupid expansions and I quit (I actually quit when they released that expansion where you entered some kind of portal and ended up in space or something.. might even have been the first). I would love to give it a try, but.. at full subscription price? No thanks. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Malcador Posted August 22, 2019 Posted August 22, 2019 I'm looking forward to playing my pally, can alt-tab and play Football Manager. Launch day for Classic is going to be a mess, heh.

Hurlshort Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I resubbed last night. I am weak. Edited August 26, 2019 by Hurlshot 1
Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Pretty funny running around the new zones. I managed an undead mage up to level 4 despite the chaos. Human area was packed.
Malcador Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 My server has a 8000 queue. Played a bit on an Oceanic server, slow going what with every killing field overrun with players.

Hurlshort Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 I am sure it will even out within a week or so. It is neat to have that fresh world feel. I miss that from when new MMO's were launching every 6 months.
daven Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 I have told my girlfriend not to bother me this weekend. I think I will be getting it.......! Maybe I will get bored after that but I feel like I want to play it. Remember when it would take HOURS to get through Deadmines and what have you. Blackrock Depths too nearly a lifetime. nowt
p0stmalone Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 so after last night what server you play on as ally EU English ?? I played with my friends at APKNite last night and most of us wanted to play on firemaw but after the clastra**** of last night and stand in a queue with 30k people in-front of me I had to play on another server of the new ones. what is the server that has the most ally right now? I don't wanna lvl up and find myself in a server with 70% are horde.
daven Posted August 27, 2019 Author Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) I thought it was out Thursday? It is already? I will have to investigate after work. Edit: Okay it did come out yesterday...! Damn it still in work for another 6 hours. Edited August 27, 2019 by daven nowt
daven Posted August 28, 2019 Author Posted August 28, 2019 So I have been playing for a few hours last night. I thought I would get bored quicker but i'm really enjoying the slow pace of the game compared to alter iterations. Feels like Baldur's gate in some ways, moving really slowly to get anywhere, takes million years to kill anything. But there are tons of people about so it makes it feel quite lively. I am pretty sure they have increased the respawn rate compared to the original version. I remember having to wait ages back in the day, things seem to spawn almost instantly after dying now. Not sure if it's cos there are so many players around. nowt
majestic Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Dynamic respawn times based on zone load is relatively new, yes. Eh, and by that I mean it was introduced to immense effect back in Cataclysm where Athene (ab)used it to get the world first level 85 character by simply grinding a patch of quickly respawning mobs that some out of group friends killed, i.e. he tapped everything, they nuked it, the enemies respawned instantly. 1 No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

majestic Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Tol Barad was what really got me. Several times. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
Hurlshort Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Part of the problem with long established mmo's is everyone is focused on the endgame and little on the slow path to the cap. That slow journey is the most engaging part for me, and it is nice to have it rekindled for WoW classic. It feels like a nice slow walk through the world instead of a mad dash. 2
IndiraLightfoot Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Except for some free 20 levels many years ago, but still not at all WoW Classic, I have never even tried Wow. I just soloed around. For the first time, though, I'm seriously considering trying this game out, and among the reasons for that is Hurlshot's point just above. I love me some good slow-cooking! *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Hurlshort Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I recommend you do some cooking, too. Do some fishing, visit the cheese shops, just wander around and explore the world. It is well-crafted and I think that gets lost as everything gets bigger and faster.
IndiraLightfoot Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Hmm, as I've never bought any Wow box/game, will it be enough if I just subscribe to get access to Wow Classic, or do I have to buy one of them expensive boxes (most likely the latest)? *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
