  • Season of Discovery is here and it has taken the entire Classic WoW - no, the entire World of Warcraft - community by storm! Players are loving diving back into Azeroth yet again, finding runes, crates, and enjoying all the "endgame" content that Season of Discovery offers, in the form of the Blackfathom Depths Raid, Ashenvale World PvP, and more.
    But why do people enjoy Season of Discovery so much? What makes this new game mode associated with Classic WoW so popular with the community? In this video, Nixxiom goes into why exactly he feels SoD has done so well, in that it recognized the spirit of Classic World of Warcraft and built on it, rather than trying to change it into something new.

Most of everything that I'm doing is related to just the use of my legs alone. But as it stands now, my deadlift is at 425 lb.

      WoW SOD is the best thing for people who have never played WoW before.
      Every expansion should have some thing for new players and something for veterans, WoW has forgotten about new players for 10+ years till now. A game will stop growing if they don’t keep trying to entice new players, which is what Blizzard went through.
      Veterans have also said WoW feels like a “casual fun victory lap”.

    It really feels like rediscovering classic. The level caps are absolutely genius, I am doing content I never did before like going to Shadow Fang Keep as alliance or Wailing Caverns.

      if you read this, im little concerned that youre increasing new overpower items while garbage junk that was garbage even during vanilla is left there, as we will progress to 60, this is becoming more and more aparent, especially in 5man settings, where ppl hunt the one bis item, but the 90% rest of the items are just awfully designed/worthless

    • @aggrend
      @aggrend 9 місяців тому

      @@Quitarstudent I can understand this sentiment but the weird, sub-optimal stat items are important in original wow. They are sometimes interstitial upgrades that aren't perfect or even all that good, but are upgrades in the moment until you get something better. Also, not ALL items that are new are going to be optimzied perfectly, also by design for the same reason.
      We don't ever really want to get to the point where every item is Main Stat/Stam/secondary/secondary. That model works for other versions of WoW, but that really just is not vanilla. That means there will be oddball items that aren't great, but it'll also make those truly great items even more exciting when you do get them.

    • @Quitarstudent
      @Quitarstudent 9 місяців тому

      @@aggrend tanks for reply, but i dont see how they are important at all.... people will prefer 30lvl item with +9 spell power over item that increases base stats (for example speaking for casters), maybe in vanilla where everything wasnt optimalized and most of the people didnt even know what to look for this was acceptable, im not talking about goofy items, but the number of items is huge but usable are only a few, i simply wish we could have more diversity in op items (like i woudlnt have to farm scholo for a wand, because similar wand drops also in strat or UBRS or something)
      also i hope that future brings dungeon sets (tier 0, but all t1 t2 tiers) to some reasonable level, especially for casters, they are cool, but useless for most of the classes and its a damm shame (i can imagine some upgrade like youve done with the crafted items now in SoD, that would be cool af)

    One of the biggest wins that I think blizz had with this was choosing to let level 25 the max level at first.
    I will say that it solves so many problems that classic wow had such as people dropping off early as well as breaking up the grind for every max level, I personally think that levels want to 30 classic wow are some of the best content in mmos hands down however in my personal Journey maybe because I wasn't able to socialize as much but everything between 40 and 60 was just a giant log with 50 to 60 being a genuinely bad experience for me is the only reason why I got to the end being that all of my friends were at max level having fun without me so it felt like if the grouped with me it was a chore for them and if they didn't it was a chore for me with it being completely disheartening to Quest for 2 hours and only have gotten three bars of exp for it at most it genuinely felt like a job that I wasn't getting paid for
    However with season of discovery it is so easy to enjoy myself as I'm playing the fun parts of the game and when I tell my friends that they can play with me if they want they aren't immediately put off by the The Grind or the feeling of Burden because I have to make another character to play with them

    am I the last remaining retail player who still can have a new story with each of my retail chars, and it's even better because timewalking allows you to complete your own personal story in any order, it's difficult when you go a long time without finding good gear, i still experiment with talent trees, gear i find, etc, and have a grand time. leveling is my FAVORITE thing to do in retail, more than the endgame. Retail is even more fun due to all the additional things you can do along the way that aren't in classic, + i enjoy having 3-4 full skill bars of skills/macros to use. And nowadays solo is better than ever at endgame, I play retail as an RPG with my own story each time like Baldur's Gate 3 since 2004 to now and still play daily.

    I played wow from 2004-2010 with several breaks in there. Took 13 years off and returned to retail in 2023. Played 10 months and after the latest season had come out, I realized I would never be able to catch up because I like using every character I create and it’s impossible to keep them all geared or relevant in retail basically. I felt like I never really captured that lost excitement from my early years playing wow. I thought I was quitting for good (again lol) and decided to just check out SOD before my subscription ran out in a few weeks. Well I immediately found what I was looking for when I came back 10 months ago. Wow felt like wow again instantly to me, even with runes which I love by the way. I restarted my subscription again lol, but this time I’m only playing SOD, I won’t be going black to retail. To be fair retail has some good things about it and it is visually superior to SOD in every way but it’s meant to be like that, I’m fine with that. But with SOD I’m getting my nostalgia fix again. Loving it!

    Played classic beta, then classic through to tbc, season of mastery and hardcore. I just LOVE classic wow.
    However since having a kid and working long hours I thought I would give this one a miss. But watching streams and videos for SoD I got major FOMO.
    I started playing again and really enjoying myself, but I've become that boomer Dad player who only gets an hour or so per day (if I'm lucky) but that doesn't change anything, I have really been enjoying this new phase of WoW. It's great to see these new ideas in play. The runes are great! In general, it seems like the playerbase is happy in this current time.
    Let's see what the future holds!

  • @flambelk4489
    @flambelk4489 9 місяців тому

    One of my favorite things about SoD is that Blizzard did what they should have done from the beginning, they grabbed some of the coolest shit they ever created for each class in future expansions and added them to Classic in an acceptable way. Chef kiss, Blizzard. Jewelcrafting? Might work. Scribe? Sure. The effin barber shop? Please.
    I am with the crowd that believes that from Cata onwards, the game went downhill, however, that doesn't mean that nothing of it can be salvaged.

  • @ilyamikhin8178

    Level cap is a genius idea. It also saddened me how much of the world and levelling content players skip while rushing to max level and now max level is 25 and DM and WC are top instances lol and because of the hidden runes and secrets it makes sense to explore the world. And topped with sh*t ton of new skills, loot, new raid. This is just perfect classic plus formula. They absolutely nailed it, I was 99% sure they wont do smth like that. Obviously some balancing and tweaking required and things like rogue tank or mage heal are questionable but I am enjoying at is back in 2019.

  • @simpa94
    @simpa94 9 місяців тому

    I like that they made the level cap lower to begin with, makes it way less of a time commitment. Since i basically just wanted to check it out and not really grind, it felt super accessible.

  • @WriteWrongs
    @WriteWrongs 9 місяців тому

    I’m with you on 99% of this, but I love that they’re giving us the option for more solo content in retail. Grouping up to fight an elite or get kill credit for a quest enemy is one thing, but when you’re new to / not great at the game, retail dungeons are super intimidating-not because they’re particularly difficult, but because no one communicates. The whole group will mount up without even saying hi and just sprint through the whole thing because they’ve already done it a dozen or more times. If you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s so easy to get separated or get KO’d from a boss attack you didn’t know about, and then you’re dragging the rest of the group down.
    Love the social element in classic, but even there, I’m nervous to try anything but dps in a dungeon. And retail doesn’t have anywhere near the same culture of cooperation that classic does. Solo runs will let people try things out and get decent gear without being overwhelmed by the social pressure.

    I find it funny how at Blizcon SoD was almost like an afterthought. It was introduced by an obscure dev no one knows or cares about and the reaction was lukewarm. Whereas they introduced the next 3 expansions vis-a-vis Chris Metzen and it had great reception. Yet SoD has had an even bigger launch than Classic did in 2019. At launch in Classic I could at least level by killing mobs. This time servers were taxed so much even that was hardly possible.

    I started playing in 2006 or 7. I was in the 7th grade. I remember my uncle played and got me into it. I got my dad into the game. I stopped playing shortly after MoP. I started playing retail again about a year ago. I enjoyed the transmog but eventually got bored after unlocking some of the allied races. After playing classic again I haven’t looked back on retail since, especially with SoD. I never realized how much Blizzard really messed up on retail till I started playing classic again.

    Iv never played pvp and i thought i would run out of stuff to do real fast. Ohhboy how wrong i was. I even started doing ashenvale and wsg to minmax my gear and damn... Pvp is actually fun in in SoD we have 8 full raid groups in ashenvale today and it was morning in EU it was very coordinated we used discord to manage people and i even got into raidleading the pvp raids. Man my 8hour job shift feels like 12hours because all i want to do is play more. I havent had this much fun in years and as a retail player who didnt even play original classic i did not expect i could have this much fun playing a game again.

    Absolutelly agree with you.. what i love is a game of progress .. so you play and invest a lot of time into your character.. and have results.. while in retail.. you start to play invest some time.. and you are on same gear as everyone else.. which just kinda sucks.. there is not reward.. and if you do not play.. dont worry catch-up mechanique is right next patch.. so you can have IL you dont have now.. proffession or anything makes no sense at all... basically classic does not lock you to do what you want to do.. but retails stops you .. and prevents you from being too far strong.. (why?) I remember myself and a friend in dungeon going it over and over like 20 times until his HOJ dropped.. it was so much fun! Now .. can anyone name at least some parts of really epic items out of head (in retail)? or any great trinket name? or going same dungeon with buddies over and over just for fun or for one specific item ? - NO

    Because it is boring just to gain max level and grind, since next expansion it will be obsolete, but im discovery, people work together to find out about runes and location, it is refreshing, it is no longer about max gear or max level but more customization, and indeed like you say, it feels impactful

    SOD brought me back to WOW. Something I thought I would never ever do again.
    I Haven't touched Retail since BOA and Classic I played for a month in 2019 and then stopped (I had a terminally Ill sister I was caring for so didn't have much spare time)
    Trying to get into retail now just seems like a chore, Classic was great for the first month, but everyone just rushed to 60 and then stopped.
    SOD with its level caps and staggered content release will keep me coming back and im already enjoying it more then Classic.
    I just hope this is the beginning of a WOW + or "Alternate Universe WOW" where the Blizz team do things they couldn't 10+ years ago and alter the terrible lore from Cata on wards. Give us 18-24 months worth of content in this Vanilla + and then maybe move onto a TBC +. Give a whole new generation of people a way to start WOW fresh again too.
