/vr/ - Retro Games

It's been another 2 weeks already? God damn. Anyway, Delf Shadowknight: shield or 2hand? Or is a gear switch macro for Bash more practical than it looks?

>>6101281
I'd have both and use the shield when you know you're fighting an annoying caster. I've had this problem lately as an Ogre SK because I lose my Slam when I use guise to become a DE. So I have to click off my guise when I'm fighting a caster sometimes.

6 hours at jboots without a drop, I had to drop out despite being next.

are p99 gms still corrupt as fuck? havent played there a few years

>>6101664
What's corrupt about them?

Cleric or shaman for character on green?

>>6102083
There don't seem to be many clerics and they get groups instantly plus tons of dosh for rezzes once you get them... so that's what I would pick.

>>6102083
>>6102112
Will vouch, one person alone payed me 500 plat for rezzing them a few times last night. On the way to 49 getting groups was pretty easy though there were times of course when the group I wanted in had a cleric and that was the end of the story.

Why doesn't parry make a 'katang' noise? I thought it was supposed to and am disappointed.

>>6102245
it does? if your using a shield it will make a PANG sound instead but if you 2h or dual wield its sword clashing sound.
parrying while using 1h + shield counts as a block but the game doesn't actually give a block message

Maybe its because I am using a great hammer? I get nothing.

>>6102112
>>6102212
Good to know, only level 9 so something to look forward to.

>>6102634
Make sure you load your first stun and root on your bar and set a hotkey for them. You will never not get mileage from them and the mana cost becomes negligible

>>6102645
Not this anon, but any gear recommendations for twinking a cleric? I picked up almost a full set of small bronze while xp'ing so was going to use that as a basis. I'm thinking That plus some wis jewelry and a Telescope would be a good starting place.

>>6102889
Twinking is odd with wis casters in my opinion since we are limited in gear options. Sometimes the only thing is the best in slot. People talk about being tanky as a cleric but you dont really need that all too much with 2 invulnerability spells and stun plus root. Your best bet is stack as much wisdom as possible with some gear only clerics get among the wis casters like adamantine epaulets. Aside from that just hold some plat on hand and hope someone sells literally anything with wisdom on it. Charred guardian shield should be easy to find since people are always camping that area for molten cloak

>try out EQ2
>game is a literal pay-to-win shithole

how did it all go so wrong

the sad thing is it almost seems like it'd be an alright niche MMO, but the pay-to-win trash destroys any motivation to give it a shot

and it's not even nickle and diming you, they're straight up extorting 20+ bucks at a time out of players, upwards of $100 dollars for some massively BiS items, plus pay-to-win consumables

>>6103615
its amazing how something like EQ did so many things right then fell as hard on its face as it did.

also any clerics that were asking for advice or gear tips message or add klerykal if you are on green server. if I have some gear I'm upgrading out of I'll hook you up.

>>6103638
the EQ1 TLP servers aren't that bad, there's a handful of pay-for-convenience items but it's no better than what you can get in-game with minimal effort and it's all priced low enough that you can buy it with your monthly welfare cashshop credit if you want

the instancing system is actually great since you get to experience content that you'd otherwise never get a chance to see without lots of poop-socking, bat-phoning, and drama

no idea how the non-TLP live servers are though, might be just as bad as EQ2 for all I know

>>6103615
>EQ2

I got dissuaded just looking at videos and seeing people with 10 bars full of hotkeys. I mean, I'm all for having options, but there's a fucking limit... At some point it's just showing that the design team lacks direction.

>farming boners for dorf quest turn in
>shitload of gobs everywhere
>they drop booze
>loads of booze
>drink up
>drink a couple more
>haha it's wobbly
>drink even more
>strength goes up at least 6 points
>vibrate through Butcherblock at the speed of meth
>getting drunk is apparently almost free SoW
>FoV goes through the roof to the point it feels like I'm actually playing Hexen or something with weapon/shield showing

What the fucking SHIT. When does this game stop being based?

>>6103663
For me the upside to retail TLP servers are that they aren't free and that keeps the brown people out plus the pick zone system is great. The downside is Krono. Even "true box" servers have people who run 20 mage boxes and sit on all the cash camps 24/7 to farm krono. Wether you play on p99 or retail there are problems but p99 is probably slightly better. I really wish Pantheon wasn't a croud funding scam or that someone other than daybreak would aquire the everquest IP and do something with it.

>>6103615
EQ2 has such a small playerbase that the only way they can make money is by jewing them out the ass via the cash shop. Seriously, there are classes that have less than 100 people playing them at max level on all servers combined. Imagine being in charge of a class when there's like 30 people that play it in the entire world. Looking at EQu there are less than 5000 max level characters in EQ2 and most of those are probably individuals with multiple characters. At $15 dollars a month, after all your other expenses, that'd barely cover a couple fulltime employee salaries.

SOE really fucked up like usual, and DBG isn't a game developer - they just buy up IPs and bleed them dry until they get their money back + tip.

It's really sad that EQ wasn't bought up by a company that actually cared about it. Those Pantheon guys should've bought it instead of trying to build a new IP from scratch which is 90% just a clone of the EQ universe. Or hell, just anyone willing to invest the money to reboot the franchise - take all the original zones and models, clean them up without the hideous revamps SOE did, port the game over to Unreal Engine or something, and start from vanilla.

>>6103615
When EQ2 launched it required a damn near top of the line machine to run. SOE bragged that there was no machine currently available that could run it at max settings and that it was a game designed for the future. That alone sunk the game the minute it launched. Even if WoW hadn't launched later that year and razed the MMO market and salted the earth so no MMO could ever grow again the game was still sunk very few people were willing to leave everquest 1 because of how much of their lives they invested in the game and no one wanted to buy a new machine.

>>6104075
krono doesn't really matter, once you get to endgame it's all raiding anyways (which you can actually do with DZs). ultimately, having a pair of gebs is going to make fuck all difference in you clearing raid content which will eventually get you something equivalent or better

the biggest issue on TLPs are people monopolizing camps related to keys, especially VP during Kunark, but since they don't enforce the play nice policy anymore you can just bring a few guildies and DPS race them. aside from keys and a handful of epic camps, you can really just ignore open world for the most part

>>6104085
They also sit on camps that drop epic pieces, kunark spells, and jboots. There is also zero moderation the servers are basically 100% ancap at this point.

>>6104095
did multiple epics on mangler no problem, there was competition but no "20 man raid groups", there were only like 3 massive boxes like that and they just fought each other over OW raid boss spawns. it was the mq2/showeq niggers who gave you the most trouble

and kunark spells you'll get just by exping and raiding. DMF is the only spell from that era that I remember going for a ridiculous price, and that was mostly just because it was rare, not that it was being monopolized, in fact I saw it drop twice in chardok

>>6104103
Torpor is the spell im talking about. You will never get that thing without krono.

>>6104121
torpor would drop off raid bosses, those outdoors dragons would drop like 10+ spells every time you killed them

>>6104124
The most common spot to farm kunark spells including torpor would be juggs probably and its constantly got boxes sitting on it.

>>6104140
I never saw boxes farming juggs, just exp groups. the spells juggs drop were basically worthless after the first week of kunark dropping

also juggs is a terrible spot to farm torpor, you'd be relying on the 2 nameds with like 4 hour respawns that drop 1 random "rare" spell each. just join a raid guild and you'll have like 30+ of those spells dropping every week depending on how many dragons you're killing, unless you have terrible luck and a lot of competition within your own guild I don't see how you'd go more than a few weeks without getting any spell you need. remember there are DZs on TLPs so it's not like you have to compete for dragons

>>6103615
I wish there was a "P99" equivalent of EQ2 I remember playing the demo back in 2003 or so when I was highschool and it was actually enjoyable but it ran like complete ass on my home computer at the time.
Revisited it when it went free to play many years later and it was a completely different game felt way more WoW theme park based + all the cash shop bullshit.

>>6104076
I was just thinking how much they fucked up changing the models, for the amount of time they put into them they could have had a few artists make unique clothing/armor textures for every race and just toss them into the game. the old models with just flat textures for armor has more soul than anything sony ever did after EQ1.

>>6104949
Yeah agree. I actually got to play the EQ2 beta and for a couple months at launch. When I went back to it a few years later it had completely transformed. As a specific example, I remember originally that there was a big emphasis on the combo system, forcing players to work together more. When I joined back later on, most of the combos could be done by yourself, and no one in groups really used the party combos any more. Instead of being a game about carefully choosing and coordinating your attacks... it became just spamming all of your buttons in the optimal order for DPS (Just like most other pay to win MMOs pretty much)

I remember Vanguard being pretty chill, and I don't think it ever got as bad as EQ2 did. Unfortunately the Live servers shut down and there's no emulated server available.

>>6104837
>actually paying real money for Domino's pizza
Enjoy your tomato flavored cardboard, anon.

Now when is /pizza going to be implemented?

>>6105350
I used /pizza a few times. It'll never get added to P99 but it was cool when we had it. Did you see what they've done to EQ2? It's unbelievable, I was willing to pay $60 again but they pieced all the classes and races out so you pay $5 for this, $10 for that, you pay as you go, it's fucking terrible.

I hope Daybreak goes under from the Russian mob shit.

Also if you haven't had Domino's in a while, give it a try, they've changed their sauce and even added another type of sauce with stewed tomatoes. It's better than Papa John's, get the 5.99+5.99 and pay the extra 1.99 to make one the ExtravaganZZZa. It's a gay ass name but holy shit it's good.

Happy new years anon! I'm grinding away out here on Oasis on Teal.

Time flies, it's already been a month since we've moved here. Wowzers.

My old man's computer died and as to avoid burning out before he has a chance to play again, I've had to put playing on pause.

>>6101664

Never heard any stories about corrupt GMs except for the owner being a bitchy, whiny turd occasionally at worst.

>>6105907
The only GM on blue slept with a player and got accused of spawning mobs / items for several people and was briefly taken into the court of public opinion but was later exonerated though the punishment stood because Rogean is a fucking pussy cuck.

RIP Sirken.

Also, Rogean is a known kinda guy who GM edits skills and abilities 'as a joke' to his good friends and there were very suspicious max jewelcrafters on day 2 or 3 on Green. I do not trust Rogean at all.

>>6106086
Also if anyone from blue is browsing, just FYI, I wouldn't put my dick in Dulcina for $1000 US. What a rank ass slut. She pulls dick cause she is female, not cause she's hot. I was in Awakened with her and she was a warm body retard. Her boyfriend was pretty good, sup Diamondfist, but she was trouble and dethroned a GM based purely on accusations.

Fuck Nayrue.
Fuck Duclina.
Fuck Rogean.

>>6106086
Sirken slept with a player?

>>6106359
Yes, Duclina. Sirken spawned items for her, revealed raid target timers to her and generally allowed her to cheat in every way. They had this going on for a long time when finally she pulled the trigger and she and Sirken hooked up. She did this for a while but ultimately ended up getting with a guy from Awakened named Diamondfist and breaking up with Sirken. He started fucking with both of them in game, kicking, making them go LD, banning, etc and all of this came out publically when the fucking Euro retards from Awakened split up the guild to form Core, the precursor to Riot. They did some huge PR thing and released a document revealing all this shit in order to get Sirken fucked over because he was the one basically keeping people from being faggots in Temple of Veeshan. Sirken was thoroughly de-toothed and removed from the staff in a huge forum post. Ironically, most of the shit they alleged, he didn't do. Officially, the only thing he was guilty of was telling when Dain was killed. Sirken has basically quit P99 as a result of all this, Rogean came back into the picture and because Rogean is a fucking retard I'm not even sure even played Live, he rooted all the dragons in ToV to make raiding different because he didn't understand the meta and wanted to cut down on petitions because all of the staff were quitting.

Fuck Blue, it got what it deserved. They might as well call it the Faggot Server.

All I wanted to do was raid, all I wanted to do was have friends. I used to have 300 friends, now I have 3 or 4.

PS - Sirken if you're reading this, lotion those hands bubba. I miss you.

Alright guys... we need to decide on a time when everyone can be online to petition and form the new guild <Fallen Leaves> From what I've seen, most of us are normally online around 7-11 pm pacific time usually?

I'm currently camping AC but it hasn't spawned yet. Decent xp here tho!

>>6106478
Yeh the xp is damn good at AC.

What class is better for soloing: magician, necromancer, or enchanter?

>>6104949
Indeed. Classic EQ2 was great. The atmosphere was correct and the world felt epic in scale. The coolest part was leveling and the paths you could take. Everyone started as either a fighter, mage, priest, or scout. At level 10 you picked a leveling path and became a different, more specialized class. At level 20 you choose your final class.

>>6106550

It's a close battle between necro and chanter, but necro has it a little easier so necro.

>>6106391

sirken didn't bang any everquest thots (lol)

he was catfished by a neckbeard psyop retards

>>6106391
Damn
I use to poke my head into his streams for 5 minutes or so every other month then I would hop on blue lvl to 10 on a new character then quit for a year rinse repeat for a decade

>>6107768
>Be senior GM with access to major league information
>get catfished
???

>>6104006
You have gotten better at Alcohol Tolerance(1)!

>>6103638
I'm lvl 8 on my cleric and went full charisma with my starting stats for lull.

>>6107768
Sirken 100% banged Dulcina. I don't care what you think you know, I'm telling you he basically killed TWO of my guilds by getting his dick wet and that thirsty whore using it against him.

>>6108606
I mean that's a strategy I guess. You don't lull ever at level 50, just saying. I would say going full STR would be better, it's easy as shit to hit 255 WIS in Velious but CHA won't serve you at max level. I'd say reroll man, maybe go WIS / STR or just STR. You'll only be augmenting your carry weight or making it so you can equip less WIS gear. If you're raiding, you can even always depend on the large WIS buff from enchanters.

>>6108518
Despite ruining 2 good guilds, Awakened and Tempest, sorta by accident, Sirken was always a nice guy. He didn't always do what I asked and he didn't always say yes to my petitions, but when he said no, I understood why. Sirken dindu nuffin wrong, he a good boy, and he always had a sense of humor. If you didn't know, all the guild leaders facilitated him to have a quiet presence on all big guild forums and monitored 90% of all communication in guild and on website. He did his job well and I miss him. Harsh ... but fair, like EQ.

I did Manastone for 23 hours yesterday behind some Hispartin faggot who stayed up for 40 hours, I spent #2 the entire time, got up today after drinking myself to sleep and I'm #2 again. If I get #1 I'll sit here until I get it but I'm not going to cuck it #2 all day again.

>>6108614
I don't plant to raid just level a bit

Karmine I'm at AC and almost out of drink so I have to bail. Shift change!

>>6109873
Welp, I just woke up. Though last time the enchanter camping around kinda made me feel bad so I let her have the camp a little while afterward.

Senior Lead GM LLandris here! AMA

(Why yes, I do it for free!)

>>6106086
>>6106086

Sirken didn’t fuck any elf thots retards (lol)

He got neckbeard psyop’d via elf thot honeypot

No questions just thank you for what you guys do.

>>6108614

LOL at thinking unemployed dude weed LMAO Sirken made it out of his moms bAsement to fuck an overweight elf thot

HEARTY CHORTLE

>>6110182

Thank you lad, I love what I do - and I do it for free!

>>6110193
Got any pictures of the overweight elf thot? asking for a friend

So do we still have enough people to reform this guild? I assumed some people werent playing during christmas and new years but we should figure out a time for this.

>>6110553
I'll be online this week-end a bit more if needed.

>>6110852
So then we just need 4 more people and we can set this up.

>>6110941
You can count on my big fat ogre dick to be there this weekend too

>tfw when finally find the class you really want to play
>tfw it's bard

After all this time... I had no idea I was gay.

>>6111043
Sounds good, and Im sure I can get Genobee and Nerok on which means we just need 1 more

>>6111232
I can probably get my wife to come online too just to fill the spot if we need. We have an IP exception to play together but she doesn't get much chance to play.

Can someone get in trouble for training you? some fuckhead pulled a train to us in guk and wasn't even apologetic about it.

>>6112150

yes but only if we like you (LOL)

>>6112150
Yes, you can petition about it.

>>6112170
>>6112176
Happened yesterday so probably too late now, also Liandris can GMs see chatlogs? someone said P99 doesn't keep chatlogs at all.

>>6112183
Are you sure that's the real Llandris?

>>6108614
Honestly the list system was a big reason I didn't even bother to play. You have to poopsock to get to #1 on the list and if you do you have to superpoopsock until the item drops.

It would have been really simple to make a sane system like you get 1 ticket for every mob/ph kill you are present (and not afk) for. Every time it drops it is raffled between people present based on how many tickets they all have. Instantly you have given people that cannot nolife a camp a chance at the drop while at the same time giving those that do put in the time to camp it compensation for their effort.

>>6112190

Sure is lad, who else would be doing this for free?

>>6112190
Nah and it's probably not him.

>>6112183

We most certainly don't give a shit about chat logs. Fraps or GTFO. Even then, we usually don't give a shit.

>>6112219
>>6112224
Fact is GM don't work on Sunday, so you're full of shit.

>3 ACs in less than 2 hours

Nice glitch.

>>6105912
There are most likely guilds that have certain GMs in their pocket in as much as I've heard there are players that are friends with a GM. As to whether or not a GM is taking cash, I do not know one way or the other.

Do we know when we'll make the new guild? You guys think we could create in lguk at AC spot?

>>6112535
There's 2 of us to make the new rebooted guild.

There are 3 of us online, we need 5 people total to create the new guild.

>>6112535
I'm still working, but when I get off I'll message genobee and nerok so we can have them and klerykal. Also I think we just have to be in the same zone so that should be easy. If I have to work late is everyone available tomorrow?

>>6112890
I guess. How long more will it take before you can logg? And are you available earlier on sunday? It's almost 1am for me now.

>old loser faggots who play 24/7 are scalping all the items and selling them way overpriced
lol at this server right now

>>6112949
lol capitalism am i right

>brb afk smoke break

Ah yes. THIS is what I remember. The nostalgia rush is invigorating.

I've spent 60 hours at manastone and done nothing but eat crow.

So when will everybody be available to reboot the guild today? And will it even be possible given that someone earlier said GMs don't work Sundays?

>>6113993
Afaik you only need to make the petition then it's done. Though officer rights will need to be given manually either way. I will go to sleep soon but if one of you guys loggin soon, you can invite me as I don't think I need to be not-afk for the petition to work.

Mention it when one of you guys get online for the new guild. I'm lying down in bed right now but I'm keeping watch of the thread with my phone.

>>6114332
I'm off and online right now. I was running around doing rezzes but at the moment I'm thinking up a name for the monk I want to roll.

>>6114492
alright, I've picked a name so now I need to pick my starting city. Freeport or Qeynos. on one hand freeport will make it easy to transfer gear to him but I've never started in qeynos.

I'm online now as well ready to do this any time gonna stick around the EC area

Is new guild for new players/characters or established ones?

>>6114667
For everyone.

>>6114512
Qeynos is great if you understand what you're getting into. Qeynos Hills is good, Blackburrow is great, West Karana has a lot of bandits. You can stay there until 30-ish, then head east to some druid rings to get a port someplace else like Freeport for a bind. Qeynos is nice but there'll be no high level buffs like in the tunnel.

It's a nice change of pace though. Less people competing for mobs and the gnolls are basically orcs, their teeth are basically the belts.

We only need 1 more person online to reboot the guild on Green!

new guild petition is out there. it's just a matter of however long it takes for them to respond and either <Fallen Leaves> or <Clover> will be in business.

>FDed while waiting for an 8 hour respawn NPC to show up

This must be why i'm so fucking fat. While I've always known that you consume food and water while FD, it never really hit me how stupid that is until now. I've been laughing for like the last half hour over the mental image of an ogre opening his eyes a little, trying to see if he can sneak a muffin, and then when its clear, quickly grabbing one and stuffing it into his mouth before playing dead again. Also yes, I am sporting our Legacy guild tag still. I haven't logged into Feebo yet to see if we have the new guild approved.

>>6116089
that is a funny image. especially with an ogre what with their terminal god induced brain rot

>>6116089
Is the xp penalty super noticable on ogre sk? I want to make one but the hybrid/race penalties are a bit high.

>>6116491
If you played anything like halfling warrior yeah its noticable but having retard mode stats, stun immunity and instant aggro makes up for it
After playing ogre I can't play any other race the stuns fucking suck hard and completely ruins the game for me I also think ogre has the most soul out of all the models appearance wise so I'm not even being a meta fag I like the race and it just has good perks that come with it win win

We're in business

>>6116491

If you really truly want to play an Ogre SK you aren't going to notice the exp penalties. This game is fuck long and brutal for everyone and there is no hurry to reach level cap. If it made as much of a difference as people seem to imply you would see many more halfling rogues and warriors than you do. Just play what you want to play and do what you want to do and grit your teeth through any difficulties that come your way.

>>6117198
Pretty much this.

Woo woo! /who all Fallen to find us for invites if you need!

Happy to see a general for EQ despite the fact I haven't played in a couple weeks.
Currently in a guild most people seem to hate, Seal Team, but was having fun with Green up until the holiday season. I need to jump back in and see how everything has changed.
If anyone ever needs a tank, send me a tell, Honko, on the Green server!

How does EQ99 compare to Classic WoW? I have heard that WoW was to some extent based on EQ. What is there in EQ that is different or more interesting than WoW?

>>6117878
I think at least some of the seal team hate has died down at this point on the server.
>>6118124
By virtue of how archaic it is you get an entirely different experience compared to a modern styled MMO like even Classic WoW. Travel is arduous with the continents seperated by potentially hours of travel across dangerous lands where death causes the serious issue of not just experience loss but also having to recover your corpse to get your equipment back. Monsters are difficult enough where even in a full party you can make mistakes that will set you back severely so that dungeon dives with a party actually have a sense of gravity. I could go on and on but if youvare interested in trying you should set it up and find someone from the guild so you can get a little help starting out

>>6118124

It's free, try it and see. That already said, they're actually more similar than people realize, it's just that the punishing or inconvenient mechanics are either trivialized or made convenient. Many of the class concepts are combined into another class. The entire Bard class is rolled into Shaman's totems for example. Where EQ has 4 caster classes, WoW has 2 and they're each made up of parts of the original 4. While WoW is much easier, characters are also much weaker. Where enchanter in EQ could control an entire battlefield while buffing allies to absurd levels, mages get sheep and warlocks get a fear that breaks if you sneeze at it.

Basically, the real tangible differences are in the details. But those seemingly minor differences end up producing a dramatically different game.

Gee I don't know guys let me get my fucking magic seeing stones and figure out exactly when he's gonna spawn. Oh and if the camp was going well, I wouldn't still BE HERE, would I?

Finally got the fucker!!

Going to give the game a whirl, never played EQ before. Having a fun time thinking about what character I might make. A halfling rogue so I can pretend I am Bilbo Baggins? Or maybe an erudite or a wood-elf.. hmm..

>>6119992
I don't know how much you care about the game's lore but Erudites have some of the richest.

You have 8 slots per server and at least 2 servers. Make all the characters. You can't go wrong with the large races, they're just fun to play and unique to this game, but their class selection is heavily limited. However they can be shaman, which are basically every class in one so it doesn't matter.

alright, I'm online so if anyone needs an invite to the guild or if any of the old members need officer status just send a tell to Klerykal, and I'll get a port/run over to you.

>>6121305
I'll also be on my monk alt Xaboia so if you need an invite I may be on him and I'm up for grouping.

Bump off the bottom.

>there are people in this very thread who have never even killed a dragon

We should probably try making threads again in /v/ to recruit more people. I'll be online more this week-end so I'll be able to invite anyone on EU time zone. (and give some officers rights to people to help out on inviting)

Do those even work? I helped with the last one and it was on page 6+ before you could even say 'it's shit'.

cool frog killing simulator

classic WoW isn't even proper vanilla WoW it's a bastardized legion client using 1.12 patch mechanics for content that's pre 1.12 it's garbage and the only retards playing it are streamerfags and shitters who never accomplished anything when vanilla was relevant.

Play a private server and stay far away from classic WoW.

>>level 25
>>kill frogloks in lower guk until level 50
wtf frogs are you killing in lower guk? the lowest frog in lguk is like level 30.

>Note: Shadownights receive a 40% experience penalty on GREEN and TEAL servers until a patch removes these at some point in the classic timeline.
Guess I'm rolling a Warrior. Any reason to go on teal instead of green?

>>6124975
None, we're all on green.

>>6124975

Why play a hybrid when Warrior gets clickies anyway? What a waste.

>>6124553
Every private server uses the exact same concept of 1.12 talents and numbers with time gated content. The fact that it's a retro fitted legion client doesn't make any real difference so long as the various formulas are correct. Who knows if blizzard really has those on hand but private servers were just doing guesswork anyway so the effective difference is very little, if any.
For many people classic wow probably is like going back to high school with everything you know now but uh, this server is literally called project 1999. Glass houses, man.

>>6124559
it's called a group anon, you should try one sometime

t. never played vanilla

>>6125947
I was one among many millions of people that played vanilla back in the day, wasn't a very exclusive club. I'm no expert, never set foot in Naxx, but I don't see what that has to do with my point.
Obviously a patch progression server would be the most authentic recreation but I've never seen that offered anywhere. If it ever existed it was a very obscure server with a scant playerbase. I have seen, of all things, a Cataclysm proper progression server but that's the only thing that comes to mind with the concept as applied to WoW. Probably has something to do with the talent trees being directly tied to the client.
Classic WoW is at least as good as any private server experience and in many ways a lot better (server stability, lack of owner corruption, more accurate combat and loot tables). Unless someone finds the source code and wants to run a collection of servers somewhere in Central Asia away from American lawyers we're probably never going to get that. Shit, P1999 is also reverse engineered from a much later client and jury-rigged to resemble vanilla. We're not pure here either.
As far as emulation of dead, old games go, especially MMO's with their constant updates, at some point you have to be content with good enough.

>>6125943
Playing a warrior on green is some seriously impressive delayed gratification. Like you're either a mastermind with a perfectly planned out path to warrior stardom or you like hitting your dick and balls with a hammer.

Shaman or cleric, bros?

>>6126005
Shaman if you want an active support class and constantly being begged for SoW.
Cleric if you want to be a healbot and loved by all.

>>6126005
On one hand if you roll shaman then you can join me and edgey as we play monk and cleric alts. On the other hand if you pick cleric you can take examples of how one round of rezzes in guk got my cleric 720 plat

>>6125943

That's all great, friendo. Mind pulling?

>>6126371
SK is also a better puller than warrior. Only thing warriors are good for is high end raids.

Trying to spawn this guy, wish me luck

>>6126005
if you play cleric you'll just spend your entire raid career in the CH rotation and in group content you'll just be clicking your pants

if you play shaman you'll just be a buffbot that can slow and maybe spot heal if your raid sucks

both are massively boring classes

>>6126521
hope you're running showeq

>>6125449
snap aggro

warriors are terrible at gaining threat on incoming and pretty bad at holding it in group content against competent dps

if it wasn't for tanking discs being literally required for later raid content nobody would ever roll a warrior, so do yourself a favor and avoid the class unless you plan on being a raid tank (those spots are already filled for every guild that will be claiming every meaningful raid target, btw)

All I have to say about this gay shit is praise Innoruuk.

lmao

>>6128459
You seem to be having an imaginary argument with someone who insists that classic wow is perfect. You might have better luck on blizzard's forums.

>>6124215
Hey you are selling everquest short its not just a frog killing simulator. You can also travel 30 minutes between camps to find every one of them camped log out and do it again every day.

where is everyone.. the priest of life necromancer has returned..

>>6130162
