If you get a lucky boe drop while leveling it’ll actually sell on the AH cuz other players have money whereas fresh everyone’s broke and everyone’s fighting for quest mobs.

This just shows that WoW used to be a game which had classes very distinct from each other. It was unbalanced in many ways I think, and that is what made the game so popular and cherished. Yes, nobody could do everything well, but there was always at least one distinct thing that only your class you could do. And that is what made it special. Also, the game was more complicated then, everything wasn’t made simpler like it has been over the years. That meant that your character and gameplay style could be personalized much more, and that you actually needed to research your class and many things in the game to get the optimal rewards/ satisfaction out of the game. That effort made what you gained valuable and meaningful. The more simplified and easified things became, the less meaningful and satisfying they became, ridiculous to say this but its just like in real life. Someone once said “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” I think this is a great saying that describes what happened to WoW. In years, the sense of over-guidance, help and simplification in in-game structure increased so much that the sense of exploration and struggle decreased. What was focused on was instant easy gratifications in the form of many in game small rewards/ gimmicks/ cosmetics. The player base understood and felt that “wins”, weren’t real wins and thus they meant little to us. Everybody started being able to do everything by themselves, which meant that they needed nobody now, and hardships were also removed/reduced. Before, you had to look up which boss dropped what, which map has what resource or point of interest etc. , not every gear was class and spec optimized etc. This saw a decline in the subscriber numbers and general game satisfaction. Classes became less and less distinguished. You can even see that in how current pvp/ pve armor sets in various classes look indistinguishable from eachother if you check out WoW’s site right now. But in this video, see how a paladin looked so different from a hunter or a rogue or a priest. It was all beautiful. Bottom line: I am glad that game is back to its original roots: its not so balanced, less constructed, oftentimes quirky, full with easier and harder obstacles, its hardships. What I am most curious about is, how many people will be willing to return to a much less streamlined and harder game experience after all the years of getting used to simplification and the easing of things ?

"Strengths, weaknesses, and quirks" - sums up what was so great about classes back then and why so many are leaving retail. Classes felt and played so different back then. Many restrictions that made sense and provided boundaries have been lifted over time. Like being able to use spell reflect without a shield equipped, one magically appears in retail and removing paladins extra spells for attacking only undead and demon targets. Letting holy warriors be played on the mongrel, brutish, wild faction and vice versa with shaman. Little things like that chipped away at class identity or sensible immersion for over a decade to try and achieve the "hyper-balance" ,as you said, we have today. And we're left with the scene we have today.

Story Time: I remember the first day my Mum brought home a copy of this new game called World of Warcraft- I didn't know anything about it other than my rich friend liked to talk about Warcraft 3; The Frozen Throne. My Mum had got it because a friend of her had got it too and they figured they'd play together, me and my brother were watching with wide-eyed interest as she goes to the character creator and we all decide she should make a night elf. I don't think I will ever forget that opening, that narrator giving a brief history through a tracking shot of the environment- goddamn this game captured such a sense of wonder in us. I ended up making a Gnome rogue and my brother a Draenei hunter, those years were honestly some of the best for me in gaming, since for me as a rogue I realized that so long as you were careful and stayed in stealth, you could explore high level areas. I distinctly remember spending dozens and dozens of hours slowly creeping through the beautiful autumn colours of Aszhara and approaching that sunken temple that I found out was from the War of the Ancients- that's not even touching the main reason I made a Gnome, as everyone back then might remember, Gnomish Engineering had some of the weirdest and most situationaly useful gizmos in the game. I miss Classic..

Best moment of playing my warlock: I was in a battleground as a lvl 26 warlock. I was attacked by a lvl 29 rogue with good gear. I had previously applied my soulstone and then logged out. I sacrificed my Void walker and did as much damage as I could. Then I died. I ressed with my Soulstone, feared him, and applied my soulstone again. I then did more damage, but died once more. When he thought he had finished me off and turned his back, I revived AGAIN, and then I finally killed him. It was amazing.

I don't know if people ever point this out but you have the impeccable skill of utilizing great music and musical transitions between topics. That aside, I don't know if I want to play shaman or a hunter. When I first started out it was during TBC and I made a hunter. I LOVED how hunters were in og WoW. It felt so damn good annihilating players in bgs and duels as a hunter as people knew to respect your skills because, like you said, the skill cap was high for hunters. I never minded buying ammo, I never minded the deadzone or having to engage in melee. I quit after Wotlk. I went back during cata once and was devastated to see how they gutted everything unique about the class. I still play now, but my hunter is STILL in his wotlk naxx raid gear. I haven't touched him since.

Great video... However all of you who haven't played Vanilla should understand that this video gives the generalization of the average player's experience playing each class. One of the great things about Vanilla was your ability to customize your spec/builds however the heck you wanted. There will be like 1-2 standard builds for each class, however if you are quite good and willing to go against the norm, I remember seeing some people who did quite well, at times even exceptional, with odd builds and/or specs that most considered not viable. Although I will mention getting people to open their minds and actually give you a chance to show that you are able to perform above the norm with an odd build/spec it quite a task in and of itself.

@@Gergo049 The good thing about that though is "Class identity". Every class (and Spec) in Vanilla feels so different and it has specific strengths and weaknesess, so you actually feel like your class and people recognize you for it. In today's WoW every class has the same core, being able to do pretty much everything, and that kills the class identity. So I think lore wise and gameplay wise is awesome seeing every class being better at one thing even if they can do more than one.

Yes, but some specs are just straight off unviable in raiding, and it just happens those specs would appeal to me the most otherwise. Ret/prot paladin, balance druid, elemental shaman.. they're just not good enough. Actually, apart from 1-2 classes, every class has only 1 viable raid spec.
@baldie80 5 жыл бұрын
@@Gergo049 It's sad, but true. Some of those things got fixed for Burning Crusade, but not all of them. In many cases it just shuffled the top specs or the top class for each role (Paladins making Warrior tanks obsolete being the chief example I can think of right now). I am still secretly hoping that if Classic goes over well enough that we will eventually see a Legacy BC server at some point as well (maybe 2-3 years after Classic's launch). Not that I think they will ever let Classic "go away" again but they could easily keep adding Legacy servers if there is enough interest. Everyone has a favourite expansion, but Classic, BC and Wrath are the most talked about since all took place before the Cataclysm.

While class design was far from perfect, the talent trees from back then allowed people to hybridize as they wish instead of being pidgeonholed into a spec. That being said, another thing I really miss is the vanilla mage - having access to damage spells from all three specs really gave it an elementalist feel! A truly powerful and knowledgeable mage should not have to stick to one element to do damage, IMO!

I'm looking forward to classic except for Paladin. In every expansion since, Paladin has been one of the most fun classes to play EXCEPT in Vanilla. My god, the class is absolutely boring to play. You have your Seals, auto-attack and Judgement and that's it. Maybe Consecration if you spec into it, forcing you to play a Healer if you want to do PvE content. Protection Paladin is trash since you don't have a taunt and Retribution is one of the worst DPS specs in the game. God speed to whoever levels a paladin, because I really cannot be asked to auto-attack and judge for a month.

Yeah, I wasn't pigeonholed at all...oh, wait. To be fair, players did have the option to put a few points here or there, or just completely ignore what they should have rolled for and then go for whatever. But I mean...a bunch of classes didn't have all 3 talents as viable. If you were a class that could heal = healer, but not as good as a priest. If you were a priest then forget shadow tho. If you were a class that could tank = you are not a tank unless you are a warrior. If you ARE a warrior, then you ARE a tank. Everyone else DPS or pretend to do DPS. Also druids humping corpses while both innervate and rebirth were on CD. I don't know, ppl hate the new talent choice system, but I kinda like it. It's easy and I can make quite meaningful choices that impact how I play a class. The old tree didn't had more meaningful choices than that either. What you are right about is hybridization and what we didn't talk about, the fact that every race's same class is exactly the same. For a warrior or whatnot? Not that noticeable. But for paladins and priest for instace? A tauren paladin should be quite different from a dreanei one I think.

Now most classes have slows, stuns, heals - things that used to give a class value - but it's not like Blizz can just reverse those "balanced" changes because then everyone would start complaining that their class is useless now, they can't stun anyone, they died because they lost their self-heal, etc. I'm looking forward to the class fantasy coming back in Classic!
