#wow #classicwow #mmorpg
I miss 2019. Classic really was such an amazing ride.
there is a good mood in hardcore server, there is a lot of people alliance side. I'm actually relive 2019 launch
edit : alliance side
pandemic + classic wow will never be beaten
@@rundown132truly was an epic era
It was fucking amazing for the first 2 phases.
By phase 3 it became Retail Lite.
i still regret not getting into it back then
hoping blizz does an official F R E S H at some point so i can have a proper chance at it without all the gold inflation on current era servers. it won't be anywhere as good as 2019, but still cool.
I really think if the right developer got behind it, an MMO structured like classic WoW would really take off. It has so many elements of an old-school RPG that modern MMOs don't really have anymore. The idea of running to a specific dungeon, fighting your way to the true entrance, clearing the whole thing (and it taking longer than 15 minutes to clear!!) and getting a completely unique and powerful item from a boss is just unparalleled.
Wasn’t ghostcrawler making his own mmo?? I remember seeing that somewhere
@@Liayda Yeah, he was making the riot MMO but got kicked off cuz riot wants it to be more 'unique' than what he was doing. He left to make his own MMO after that.
There's probably a market for it, but it depends if the market is large enough to sustain a population.
The people who yearn for the classic MMORPG style (EverQuest derivatives) are the same people who lack the single session time that modern wow caters to. I have this issue, being an adult with a family and career, I just don't have the ability to sit at the computer for 1-2 hours at a time. As much as I love the grand adventure style, I'm relegated between 15 minutes and 1 hour at a time for the most part.
It wouldnt work, new gamers want everythin instant. Classic wow only appeals to us old gamers.
@@Ludydobry and on3 can argue that these new games aren't games, just dopamine caches
I, genuinely, lamemt that Blizz didn't take the OSRS route with Classic.
Classic WoW, with Classic-style updates, and new Classic-style content.
Would have loved to see Classic become it's own thing, going in a different direction than Retail.
absolutely instead of cata we should have gotten a completely unique expansion for classic of smaller scale then maybe a usual expac, i really dont see how that wouldnt be successful classic brought a LOT of new players (me included) because it didnt have 20 years of baggage, instead they're just repeating the 20 year baggage at double speed, war within classic anyone?
@@Gizzor Good Point.
I recommended this on reddit at the start of classic, got a tons of down votes and told to go f myself lol. They should have done it imagine where the game would be now.
I genuinely think this will be what they do after their experiment with Season of Discovery, I believe after SoD they will decide to just itterate on Classic WoW with the team that made Season of Discovery.
@Smidztv I hope they do.
Classic is such a gem.
It's quite literally the only reason I started playing Warcraft.
Retail never looked very appealing to me, but I remember the "mysticism" of Classic from being a child and watching the television channel G4.
When Classic was announced, I hopped on the bandwagon, and honestly had the MMO experience of my life. I don't think ill ever forget it.
I fell off during TBC Classic and tried to come back to WOTLK Classic, but didn't stay.
I plan to roll a fresh character on the Classic Era server, and start that adventure over.
I can't explain it; but there is *something* special about Classic, to me, that TBC and later expansions failed to capitalize on.
I would love to see them capture that *something* and do more with it.
just started turtle wow and honestly i haven't been more happy playing wow since vanilla wow launch. the Devs there really care about the game and the players.
The UI is just trash
@@JW-jd6sn just get an addon
Same!!!
@@JW-jd6sn addons existe, and there are a TON of them made just for turtle wow, even high res textures and models, im using them and they're awesome
No, the devs are russians who are pro-war
I just want Blizzard to bring TBC classic back.
in 2006 before i started playing retail,i played on a private server that had crossfaction enabled,i was an orc and i somehow got to elwin,i asked for help and a human player said he will take me to my kind,he took me to burning steppes and my fellow orcs murdered me :
"It feels like there could be more here than there currently is." WoW's theme statement. I mean you can say that about almost every zone past the level 20 areas. Vast unused areas, simplistic quest grouping that dont really tie back to anything comprised of kill 10-20x, find 8-20y, kill z named mobs.
I've played the game since TBC but didn't know almost anything on this video, especially the effort people truly put in to get world buffs for raids or even the effort it took to get into those raids. Amazing content ❤
leveling 50-60 on the plague lands in SoD, I didnt know tyrian was there and it was so cool to see him, I kinda miss that feeling of exploration in WoW but it might only be because I know of him in further expansions
Blizzard has you all stuck in a revolving door of never getting what you want but still paying for it
I don't pay for sheeeyat son. I play Turtle WoW.
Its a very little but very loud minority that constantly complains about wow.
Im super happy with Era and with Hardcore. I also raid mythic on retail.
Only super extreme Classic Boomers are complaining. Asking for the 10th fresh era server or crying about retail because they were too old/stupid to press more than 4 Buttons or because they can only fight bosses with 2 mechanics at most.
Most people are pretty happy with wow currently. Sod, hardcore, era, retail, cata, we got everything we wanted.
And turtle wow can get shut down any day, Blizzard is just tolerating them. Never forget, they use Blizzards game. Run by a shady ex Blizzard dev that has very very shady views and is an extremely difficult person, despite being a very skilled industry Veteran. Look into it.
Ummm why do you watch wow content on UA-cam to trash the game and the people that’s play it? It’s A okay to have strong opinions about certain changes or what not but still watching UA-camrs while deep inside hating the game
Never makes sense to me
@@virallock Losers gonna lose, now and forever.
@@capitaldcolon1795 I don't like retail for many reasons but it's mostly design philosophy. Everything else tho is pretty good, as for turtlewow it's all about just enjoying the moment. Nostalrius shut down but I dont regret a second lol
Willie, it’s amazing how much love you put into your videos for vanilla wow, thank you!
I think that if Blizzard does do a classic+ they need to recognize that the leveling experience is the best content they have ever made. They should 100% focus on using updates to expand the leveling content found in the game. Reintroduce Cataclysm zones in their pre-destroyed state, bulk out azshara, add new islands to explore, ect.
Yeah I wished they had something like GW2, where there is a max level but you can still continue leveling and unlock stuff. Questing feels useless once you reach endgame in wow, so many storylines get lost simply because players dont really get a reward out of it anymore. The leveling experience is the best experience in a MMO in 99% of the cases (besides stuff like BDO), and wow is no exception. I started with retail last year before trying classic, and working towards a certain level and getting a good drop is soo much more rewarding in classic. I actually had a reason to learn about the game, about the profession, visit the big cities, and so much more. On retail you just spam dungeons and do some BFA quests and boom youre endgame level in 2 days at most (as a beginner)
10:46
This is Deathwing's Lair; any content in Hyjal would need to be based around him I think
Part of the charm of Vanilla WOW, was that things where not easy or perfect. A challenge or an obstacle getting into a raid or dungeon, was an opportunity to talk and socialize with others. You didn't get a summon from the warlock? Put on some music and make your way there, while talking nonsense in Ventrilo or Teamspeak. I miss those days!
the addon "voice over" changes your experience so much, its crazy. even for me, who reads every questtext since vanille, voice over makes a big Differenz in Emersion.
So much yes. I can support your idea of Classic+ wholeheartedly!
Thank you for sharing!
In the cut content section surprised you didn't mention the portal in stratholme at the end where the skeletons pour out, same for the stormwind city one - great video regardless! I didn't do classic til the middle of uld but I did experience most of vanilla in a high end raiding guild - the only world buff most cared about was def the ony/nef head because of convienece anything else was a bonus, between people on slow internet connections and rocking 20 fps min/maxing just wasn't possible lol
My biggest gripe was that the Gem of Eranikus never went anywhere, and I held onto that damned trinket through Wrath of the Lich King!
I got a copy of WoW when I was a kid, just to realize back home that my internet sucked (I lived in Ushuaia, Arg, literally The End of the World) plus my pc could barely run it, so I could only follow the story with whatever I found on UA-cam... In 2019 college and working at Wendy's didn't leave me much time to play it, so now I'm giving it a shot on Turtle WoW... All I can say is that WoW it's an iconic mmorpg, nothing feels like it
the zandalar buff was also huge for healers, priest in particular. speccing disc like a good player gave you a *massive* increase to your mana pool and the extra spirit was very noticeable for regen. the mp5 on warchief's blessing was also really nice for that too, and the extra HP definitely saved me a few times
turtle wow does alot of these zones as a classic plus really well
So excited to try it out. Sod is just to focused on classes instead content.
I just started turtle wow. never had so much fun playing wow since vanilla.
@@Phyx1u5 its sooo good and its free!
@@tannerl11794 i love turtle wow its soo good
@@Phyx1u5 i'm currently at level 46, man from level 32 onward when you first interact with custom content dungeons and even at 40 the gilneas city leveling zone is insane. Takes a while to level though even with tent rested buffs
Needed this I would always go back anytime fresh is announced world wide
fresh launched on starfall about two weeks ago. im lvl 41
I'd give a lot for an actual fresh launch of vanilla, all these different versions of WoW make it hard to commit to one though without it feeling like a waste of time and all for nothing..
i'm gonna tell you a fact that seems to just be barely eluding you. it IS all a waste of time. hop in and have fun or don't
Turtlewow
Turtle Wow is doing a phenomenal job with their classic+ server
I know I am minority, but to me WoW vanilla is a perfectly designed game that is fully finished - I am very competitive/efficient player and for some reason I always come back to classic era.
I am young, so don't have much nostalgia for the game (just some wotlk private-servers) but everysince I played wow classic re-launch, I always come back after some break.
This game just respects your time you put it and it has a clear endgoal, sure I would love m+ and rated BGs in the end-game, but its not needed, cuz once you hit max level and get your prebis, the game loses its magic (yes, I did speedruns and have 100kills on worldbosses, but that's just an extra activity you do after you put a lot of time into the character - its not the reason I play the game)
'i am a competitive/efficient player' so you acknowledge the 30+ warrior meta is absolutely awful then.
@@altibzz you cant fix meta - there will always be the best thing in anygame. The only way to rly fix 30war meta is to make challenge modes for MC = 10man/20man/30man MC and put a timer on it as well and just let ppl do whatever they want
Vanilla WoW truly might be the best video game of all time
omg just how much I wish an official Classic+ like Turtle WoW.
It already exists but the creator of this video won't acknowledge it because they are a Blizzard dick rider and seem to only bring this pointless subject matter up because they are fishing for views as there are many who won't touch anything regarding WoW unless Blizzard hosts it because they are ignorant dumbasses. Then they bitch and moan because they didn't get what they want from their favorite company and post videos like this because they quintessentially have to have their "apple" product and refuse to go the "android" route.
I could literally watch a WillE video 5 times and it not get old.
Inb4 Asmon makes a day out of this.
Facts lol
His entire channel is basically just repurposing stuff other people made
@@Forwardslashhug hey that’s also blizzards company motto
@@ForwardslashhugHe turns 20 minutes videos into 2 hour discussions. Totally doesn't add anything at all
@@Meeces552 hours of mostly responding to chatters he disagrees with, calling them idiots, then banning them.
EverQuest Online Adventures was my first taste of MMO's, idk how tf Sony made a game like it on a Playstation 2, without loading between zones. But WoW having a massive world with almost no loading is why i still play it. Your first MMO leaves an impression, and the adventure hits different when you load every dang zone.
played it as well. The game didnt have much in the open world. Just roads and monsters. It was small enough for no mounts.
Finishing these ideas is what I’d want from classic plus
The thing is about classic, the zones feel like places. Like, fields and meadows and roads that you want to walk down. Retail wow, the zones feel chockablock with distractions and things that actually detract from the experience.
100% this, WoW has always had top tier worlds, every expansion has amazing artwork and feel. But there really is something about less is more, and although some zones like desolace really were underdone, most the zones feel so unique and vibrant even without having 1000different types of flowers and bugs and shrines and mobs every two steps.
54:40 omg one time with some friends we kited keeper remulos to orgrimmar, and people were confused what was happening xD
Game is still amazing to this day - i play Solocraft and love it.
bad server
@@faNNtaTVI've never heard of Solo craft but now that somebody with a cringe anime picture said it was bad it must be amazing
@@Meeces55 cringe anime picture? lol.
@@Meeces55 may i suggest you go back to the hole you crawl out from?
@@faNNtaTV Your profile picture bro. People who put that stuff on their profile need to be on a watch list
a new vid from WillE hits different
starfall just launched fresh two weeks ago for anyone having that vanilla itch
What’s that? Private server?
yea our guild was part of horde united on gehennas, (since apes had 120+ active members) and working together with salad bakers and 2 other guilds a few 40man ish horde guilds got into discord to match there numbers. still kinda hard @ times with there army of holy nova spamming priest :D
reason was indeed to stall for more scarab lords, not losing any grind/progress and knowing allaince wanted to race for 'world first' we could save gold aswell.
good old times laying dead under docks or in lava with Al-Qaeda sapper squad ress suicide bomb 10x your numbers ^^ just to be called ' layer heroes'
I put everything I had into being as ready as possible for Molten Core. Every possible trick I could do. I ended up parsing as the #1 NA Warlock against Ragnaros on the first day, behind a lot of Korean players on the global board. I was psyched, but I also completely burned myself out from that point and didn't go back to Classic again.
I had a summonbot on the "tentacles" of the ziggurat of naxx after jumping the mushrooms :)
this video just made me want a fresh classic server(s)
I still remember my friend showing me world of Warcraft back in 05 of him on a nightsaber and I had never been so captured by a game in my life (as a kid). From then on it was history.
i always felt like classic wows world is so big and full of misteries.
its not like there is an obstacle, but luckily everything to fix it is perfectly placed right next to you like it is in retail.
Jeff designed good pvp and pve. Kevin Jordan too, the class design is underrated it did have decent group base pvp balance. I feel like over time they lost designers and "niche" aspect of the game were just overlooked, like rep base pvp progression. It may seem small but at the time AV rep wasnt small at all that was ur first mount in many cases and a couple prebis pieces.
Great video Wille. Awesome recap of Classic WoW. Much love from another Englishman
I can imagine the look of relief on Chris Metzen's face that the first person to ring the gong had a cool name and not some shit like Feetsnifferxx
57:38 LOL
Great vid loved all the niche memories watched it all.
The world buff mini game on PVP servers during classic was actually really fun. Super intense, I remember it got the adrenaline pumping trying to go from buff to buff. Hearing about dispellers. Or just getting TO the raid. I had a second account with a warlock to summon guildees outside of UBRS to get fire res buff, then we would have cover while they ran to BWL. Was my first vanilla experience with raiding and it was awesome. The AQ unlock event and the quests leading up to that were also amazing. So many people in Sil that everything was insanely laggy but still awesome because there were so many people in the zone. There are endless amazing memories from 2019 onward.
trying to get dmf in Mulgore as Alliance was the real end boss lol, ngl I loved it too
Im enjoying cataclysm much more than any part of classic yet. Maybe because I didnt play it back in the day... either way... I love cata right now.
vanilla is simply different game from wow after TBC
I may jump back to Whitemane. Made a dwarf hunter Im loving over there prior to SoD.
in relation to Darion, I think his story does get realized since he ends up crafting the axe later on
1.5 Hrs of WillE and classic? yesssss.... :)
You need to go play on Turtle Wow man so much you mention has ALREADY been implemented there and they have done a wonderful job
cool video but so far it's been 15 minutes of what's NOT in vanilla...
i wish they would turn gilneas into 1 big thief battleground
Classic is by far the best MMO ever made. It had tons of flaws and most specs were half assed but overall the experience is there. I just wish they did not do so many changes in SOD and isntead went for a more light version. Would have been more fun.
You almost forgot one of the reasons for being out front of AQ. You lost your world buffs and are seeing red 😂
Awesome video 👍
It's fun that you mentioned the gate in Azshara, the Timbermaw Hold. Because back in '05 - '06 my friend and I thought it was going to be a massive neutral city. (like what Shattrath ended up being in TBC)
The Path of the Righteous quest gave you 200 reputation, not 500. So it was 1 rep per Carapace Fragment.
No mention of Barry during the AQ part? Missing out
LOL I had a ton of turn ins ready for the war effort and when i got home from work, it was completed. Should have taken vacation i guess.
The best thing about classic was no WoW token so you could actually get into PUG raids if you have a real life job and didn't want to spend 50 hours a week farming
it is not reasonable that people get decent shit in mmoRPG if they dont want spend effort.
Asmongold and all react content creators about to be eating real good after this one 😂
I hope the Turtle Wow devs flesh out all of these things. They've done some, but there's still a lot left.
I PLAYED WOW FOR MANY YEARS BUT NEVER DONE VANILLA 40 men . This is my only regret
dragonbreath chilli did not scale in vanilla, just SoD and some private servers, Shadow oils, Heart of Wyrmthalak and weapons like teebu, zullian slicer, Ancient Hakkari Manslayer, Neretzek, ashbringer and a couple more did tho ! making it great paladin weapons ( yes mellee crit paladin is trolling iff you can get a 500+ lifedrain + shadow/frost oil and chilli proccing ) while having more spellcrit, stamina and int to not run oom as quickly
had some good times with a tf/wraithblade sp rogue bursting spam healing full bis healer paladins without kicks/stun or pumping 2.5k + dps on aoe with 1500 chilli crits although getting both mellee/spell hit is a pain in the ass and close to impossible ( problem is fixed with hybrid hit/crit chance in sod tho )
Blizzard screwed-up their WoW Classic, so I moved over to Turtle WoW Classic+ server recently & started playing there from scratch again.
What do you mean a turtle wow classic + server? What is that, and how do I get to it lol. My little brother and I just started trying this game again after ten years and that sounds better than the base
@@chancerose3633 Just google turtle wow & it is first link/site to pop up. It's a free to play private server in Europe with added custom content & zones/dungeons/raids for Vanilla WoW. Class talent trees have also been tweaked a little bit. It's basically improved & expanded Vanilla WoW.
Time to get this content with season of discovery
Thx for the upload
Gehennas 1love best players were there. Great community !
I'm all in if they expand on the original game
I really dont remember anyone in my guild ever bothering with world buffs before raids lol
when your guild is going to kill every single bosses in the first week of the patch, everything matters.
5:46 Did the gate got removed with Cataclysm?
it's time for classic classic
I FUCKING love turtlewow. i play this game 21 hours a day with 2 hours to sleep and even when i do sleep i wake up SHAKING in a cold sweat wanting to play turtlewow. im PHYSICALLY ill when im not playing turtlewow. this is what i call DEDICATION!!
sir i suggest you get some help😂
Turtle wow is fucking cringe bro im sorry 😂
Great vid WillE
This video basically describes what Turtle WoW is.
funny how so much stuff you mention exists in turtle wow xD Do you secretly play there?
The world seemed so big back then
Why do people want a fresh release when there was a fresh release in 2019? This to me speaks about a bigger problem that im not sure off. When they get a new fresh it will be a matter of time before they start to request it again. Is fresh cycles the solution?
The issue with that proposition is that Blizzard has EXTREMELY short "gating" roadmaps where only the top 25% of levelers will ever manage to keep up with. I am a 38 year-old guy with a job, a wife, and kids and responsibilities so I can only play maybe 4-6 hours a week and there is no feasible way I could ever manage to keep up with the hardcore players who still live in their moms basement. I made an Orc Warlock in 2019 when "classic" launched and I had only reached level 60 about six months in and there were already a ton of level 60's running around in full raid gear and after hitting 60 I realized I didn't have the spare time to even raid because the first time I attempted to run Molten Core my youngest child was sick and my wife was called in to work on Saturday so I dropped out half an hour into it.
The reality is that all of us players who were teenagers/young adults when the game was released are now our parents ages and we can't just grab a 2-liter of Mountain Dew and a bag of Cheetos and play from 7pm to 7am the next day anymore. And being able to sit in our rooms on a summer day with nothing planned and just play WoW all day with zero interruptions just isn't going to happen.
This is pretty much why I've played on a private server for the last three years, I can go at my own pace and not have to worry about getting my moneys worth on a subscription I can hardly make use of with the added stress of trying to keep up with people that clearly have very few obligations in life.
I remember being around two weeks into classic and my Warlock had just entered the barrens and there were level 60's running around and my character was only level 14 and it was just demoralizing.
Classic WoW is a progressive journey through the phases as a community. Fresh 2-year cycles are the solution, with servers at the end of a cycle merging into Era before the next begins.
Just started WoW classic hardcore. Quit after original Cata loving this but
I genuinely believe if people want to feel what Vanilla felt like back in 2004, play Elden Ring without looking anything up. Just play the game and you’ll be immersed in the world just like we were in 2004.
It's funny reading folks getting nostalgic for 2019. I'm guessing they are kids? I'm over 40 so 2019 feels like last week for me!
Wait....there's zombies at night time in Westfall?
I’ve seen this same video from this creator like 5x this year with a different title
I started playing on Turtle Wow, my first private server ever and I couldn't be more happy classic-wise, it's everything SoD should have been (I quit on P2 like everybody else), new quests that make sense, new loot on dungeons (nothing op), expanded maps with new areas and so much to discover without real change to that classic feeling, i'm just level 27 at the moment but it's been a blast so far
goblins sticking to the horde is not making any sense to you, but furbolgs do? lmao
blew my mind when i swam out to the naga prison island as 12 year old
tbh the raid stuff with all these buffs, dispells, running back, no summon inside sounds so irritating. I mean it doesnt add to difficulty just is pain in the ass.
"it wouldn't be classic if Blizzard just told you how something works now would it"
Were mc raiders…we. Aint. Got. No liffffeeeeee
Gillijans isle lol
Blizzard wont add or change anything. It takes work, they will just keep re-re-releasing old shit and milking the same 2k players who always come back to re-clear Nax for the 300th time.
Pls give us all or almost all this in classic+
Classic was fun, but the only classes I like to play are the MeMe classes. Ret/Prot Paladin, Feral Tank Druid, Arms Warrior. Classic was such a terrible time for those classes
Here before Asmon
turtle wow
Another good title for this video could have been: Content that should have been added in SOD😢
Horde player since 2004 and I have to say...
"Fuck the Alliance always and everywhere" =)
Classic plus. Just give us the content they were originally gunna put into vanilla but didn’t bc of time constraints . Simple.
