I was on heartseeker they had azuregos and lethon in lfg

On herod we had a multi guild coalition scouting all layers and locations, was good times tbh Edit: it also produced the most organic and exciting world pvp I've experienced

100%. No game play philosophy is worth excluding the vast majority of a major feature of your game to less then 1 percent of the players.

Maybe it's a bit too few people experiencing the boss I agree, but making it accessable to everyone is just plain dumb. Classic is good because you need to put in effort to do some content. You get what you deserve in classic. Season of Accessability is going to die out so quickly because of changes like this.

@@Solklar it doesn't make any sense to develop things in a game that only 3 guilds are going to do. That wasn't the goal of classic in the first place, it was a distortion imposed by the community itself via a small group of people who don't have a job or a life and are in the game 24/7.

The fact that it's instanced now means that like on my server I don't have to wake up at 5 in the morning before work to get up and hit world boss i think it's a great change

It’s good to have things that not everyone gets to do. That’s what makes it special. The world bosses are really not all that cool or great when they are instanced, they just end up being loot piñatas

Lol thanks! Don't want to do too much more. I’m down about 70 lbs since February of last year. Just been watching what I eat, doing physical therapy and recovering from my injuries without making things worse. Tbh GTARP helped a lot I was able to take a lot of stress off my body from my normal streams with the amount of IRL and traveling I do etc

​@@EsfandTV ..cmon bruh

@@EsfandTV you and nmp been taking that shit huh

@@EsfandTV Fasting!

Sorry lmao

i need them

This 100%. Just saying "raids should be 40man" is not realistic with the current player base in SoD, even 20man is stretching it

@@hillerstorm I think this isn't the problem with the raid size, but rather other content being dull and leveling process to 50 taking literally couple of hours due to incursions and their current implementation. Alts just become trivialized and people are burned out of playing the game.

Private server where doing 40man, dont tell me it impossible...

​@@neoikakeprivate server are still doing 40 man, if thats what you want you know where to go

If you don’t like pugs coming into your 40 man and taking the best gear because 3 of your guildies didn’t show up, then go play retail!

I really like how Turtle WoW does classic+

It was definitely intentional. Makes the look so much more interesting and unique

That’s what I’m saying why does he care when he doesn’t even play wow anymore. Would he rather have 10k people watching him an doing soemthing he hates or 2k and loving the game he’s playing at the end of the day whatever makes him money

It takes player choice out of the game. Now I must use this exact gear set or be unoptimized. I must use only this rune and only this talent set. For your ret example they are basically just wearing warrior gear. They have no mana to use their spells no spell power etc. SoD had turned into basically retail (while not necessarily a bad thing) it's not what a good chunk of people who are playing "classic" are looking for. It's an amusement park on rails now instead of a sandbox which it used to be where you could play the game how you wanted to play.

​@@Lmmpeprstepr Classic is a solved game so there was no "choice" in gearing. You just look up BiS list and go from there.

So in your opinion, why do you think 40 man raids that weren’t an issue in vanilla/Classic will be an issue in SOD? I have a couple theories, both involve people just not playing. Maybe they’re waiting for level 60 and put it down before they gave it another try, the other theory is that maybe the audience of SOD is actually different than the audience of what Vanilla/Classic WoW was. It’s a pretty commonly shared opinion at this point that it’s much more like retail than it is like Vanilla or Burning Crusade, so maybe SOD just doesn’t appeal to the player demographic that those versions of the game appealed to, and as such things that weren’t as much of an issue in those versions of the game now do become issues in this version. I’m not really sure what the right answer here is, and maybe it’s too far gone that you need to just keep it retail minus. It’s just unfortunate that for those of us that really wanted that style of Classic+ we originally talked about ended up getting something much different than what we envisioned.

@EsfandTV im just going by the facts, sunken temple killed a bunch of guilds cus they could not get a 20 man roster consistently. My guild had to merge with anotherone and still had to pug 1 to 3 ppl every raid.

​@@walterruiz2130 Estfand will defend the game till the end but at the end of the day you are right and many guilds fell apart in SoD cause you couldnt gather 20 ppl or motivate them to try cause of shit loot

It's literally because of the culture of obsessive min-maxing. People could fill 40-mans back in 2005, they did it in 2019(despite a lot of the exact same complaints before it's launch) and now suddenly they can't? Nah, it's because they wont let people join if they haven't already done the content or are geared up. The amount of posts I see all the time of people not able to find groups to play with because of the long lists of demands is crazy. Some guilds would rather fall apart than try unsafe/subpar recruits.

@MrRavmoor u can pin this to whatever reason you want, but facts dont care about ur feelings

You do actually have a good point about the itemization maybe having already been out of wack to begin with because of what you’re getting at level 50. I actually think re itemizing stuff is fine, I don’t think I was clear on that, but I think that it should be done in a way that’s not so overly optimized. One of the best things about Vanilla is how you have gear from every raid tier that is relevant all the way through the expac, and seemingly with their current vision, each raid tier is going to become obsolete and the next one comes out. As far as gear being weird 20+ years ago it actually wasn’t exactly because the devs didn’t know, I’ve talked to a few devs about it years ago, a lot of it was trying to make gear that could fit on multiple classes and it be “okay” rather than having gear that is intended to solely be used for one class or another. Over the years this allowed people to come up with fun builds by piecing together seemingly random items to do cool things. Or finding items that are lower level than end up being useful until 60, etc.

He skipped P2/p3 so he probably doesn’t have a firm grasp on how ridiculous player power has gotten lol

@@EsfandTV I think you're right and in the event you read this reply, I reread what I said and I hope it didn't come across as being a dick. It was earnestly constructive feedback. I agree that that is/was cool and in theory that would be cool. I think the developers (I don't know HOW true this is in reality) feel like the entire game in SoD is basically raiding now. The community through optimisation and them buffing the poop out of XP means levelling isn't a thing, and I strongly suspect the rank 12/13/14 gear is also not gonna be that relevant, and the pieces that are will probably be outdated VERY quickly when they release the next bit of gear. So that begs the question, why would you even bother with PvP given how much effort it takes. Realistically I don't think it'll be worth it for most people when the raid gear in this patch is probably just as good. This is all to say, I think there's so many things pushing people into only caring about raiding more than ever before, which limits the scoop of what people care about in terms of gear. I think they really messed up all the way back in phase 1 with how good they made that gear, and since then the inflation has been insane because they've had to give people a carrot to chase from then. And now we're in a position where I wouldn't be suprised if the Naxx gear is way better than the level >70< gear that dropped in Karazhan in TBC. I really wouldn't be surprised if the inflation by that point is on that level. I also don't necessarily even know if it's possible to make viable fun builds that could compete because of how much the runes force you down a path. Thanks for the video, you look great, I hope you have fun in SoD, I personally don't know how I'm gonna continue raiding in Cata and now progging SoD too.

Ozempic or a diagnosis

​@@EsfandTV dude keep up the good work with that, I'll be honest I discovered you when you were reacting to ai stuff from athene a little over a year ago but I love your energy man Ignore the mean people in the comment sections man you're doing great! 💙

@@EsfandTV I havent been deep in the lore fore a while, I'm so sorry you were hurt, happy to see you not only on the mend but strong.

@@EsfandTV congrats keep it up

I love the devs installing Trojans and selling users data. I love crooked Russian servers 😂

​@@Psilocybin77Really? Can you confirm this somehow?

Turtle wow is what i wish blizzard would just make one day.

​@@TiermusJust so you know Turtle WoW is ran by the same dodgy cabal that runs Elysium (bunch of DDoSers and generally sus people). Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.C!ml was flagged inside its package, a lot of the people on the forums claim its a false positive but there's a high chance of there being data siphoning/theft in the background so yeah play at your own discretion. A lot of the bad shit about Turtle WoW is mass reported and hidden. It still looks great but not worth the risk, decided to comment here as I did a fair amount of research on it and came to the conclusion that the risks outweigh the rewards

I’ll play if it’s fun, I won’t play if it’s not fun

Everquest? That's wild , thought it was dead

We don’t need more we’d be op 💪🏻
