https://news.blizzard.com/en-gb/world-of-warcraft/23973734/rules-of-engagement-classic-hardcore-is-coming-to-world-of-warcraftFinally got an update and PTR for the servers. Seems like it's going to be great so far since they're preemptively getting rid of most all griefing methods and really screwy bugs. Your character doesn't even get perma deleted just moved to another server, seems great.

>>110337It makes sense to remove the shaman, warlock, and paladin things, but other classes still have "cancel combat" spells. Offhand, rogues have that skill to drop combat and gain stealth which is immensely powerful and hunters have feign death which was really good when it didn't bug out about 20% of the time. I guess they're not "cancel death" spells directly, but that's what they do.
Man, thinking back about my warlock that I played way back the day fills me with conflicting thoughts. It was fun, and yet not fun at the same time. The gimmicky stuff was what made him good, but I ended up playing a shadow priest for a superior version.
No.110357
>>110339Well if you read further into it Warlocks are actually going to be receiving and immense buff in hardcore from the debuff limit on mobs being removed. Meaning that in larger raids you'll be able to play an affliction Warlock. As for the other cancel combat spells, they're not 100% guarantees you'll survive but instead just a chance. In the endgame though, there's petrification flasks that anyone can use that can somewhat act as a death save which balances things, but they're pretty damn costly to make.

They released a new kind of seasonal classic(vanilla-ish) server today, that's why there's a queue. It's not completely vanilla, but fresh is fresh. I just wanna walk around roleplaying as a voodoo man.

>>117025>can't get ganked as easily in the contested zones when the others are only 10 levels above you at most.Aww, that was part of the fun. People would enjoy how there would be random elites that kept you on your toes and the high level gankers performed a similar role. Once you hit the level 30s you could actually kill some of the level 60 gankers that weren't good at the game if you made proper use of the environment and engineering or certain abilities. Such humiliation you could visit upon them. Hehehe. Ah, those were the days. Altered abilities sound kinda cool; I guess it's a way to try and keep the game "fresh" in a way that's still comfortable and recognizable.
I wonder why so few MMOs tried to the "retro" server thing. Maybe they just die and go into maintenance mode too soon, as Blizzard itself said no to classic servers for like 10 years before this stuff hit.
No.117035
>>117032>high level gankers performed a similar roleThey still will easily kill you, but you can also kill them back more easily than you could a 60. 15 years ago you could probably kill a 60 as a 30, but with how much more knowledgeable people are now that'll probably never happen.

Phase 3 of WoW SoD launched with Nightmare Incursions, a new mechanic that just so happened to turn into the most profitable gold and xp source in the game. Blizz noticed and changes are already planned like a gold reward hotfix that came 8 hours after the patch launched, and an exp nerf to the incursion quests that'll come later today. Figuring this out, I decided to use it as an opportunity to easily level 2 of my chars to 50, and I spent all day today just running incursions over and over. Now my warrior is 50 alongside my rogue.

>>122768Sort of like an instance thing that everyone takes part in, they're inside of the portals that the world boss dragons come out of. Inside you do quests and get mission letters from them that you then use to get another quest and an item that lets you share the quest with other party members. There's kill quests, pick up quests, boss quests, and profession-based quests. It's pretty fun to do as a one off event and feels very MMO-y with how many people are doing it at the same time and killing bosses and such. However, the issue is that it's much easier to just do bosses and pick up quests than it is to do any kill quests or profession ones, so people run them in loops of 5-man groups and refresh all the quests after turning them in by sharing with each other then do it again and again and again because it's the most efficient way to get both gold and xp. You do this from 40 to 50 unless you want to be left behind, and right now there's a rush to do them since it's getting nerfed hard in the next patch so it's super easy to get groups.
