uhh my server alone has 26000 online right now?
Shut the frick up, moronic polgay
How dare you contradict OP? He clearly has evidence.
people like being level 25 (and feel like 20 years ago) and nothing more i guess
>made up numbers
You think you arent, but you are (a gay)
>SoD P1 barely had any players, but a lot of alts for gdkp

hmm I wonder what happened
Ascension does it better

this
HC was fricking rad though, it was the secret into reviving the thrill. if I remember right, they're planning on reintroducing it with some refinements.
I wonder how a pseudo-HC would work where rez time was 24-48 hours? people would still play cautiously but you wouldn't be at risk of losing everything to one mistake.
people only play once a week at max level anyway
For me it was finding out the rogue tank rune was behind the level 25 rep grind and I just dropped it
did the gdkp ban work?
Yes
Kinda. Microsoft AI is now banning everyone recieving any amount of gold from others.
>every single rune is on wowhead 5 minutes after the server is up
>do raids where your gear is going to be entirely outclassed in a month
>play classes that aren't playtested and just slapped together full of retail abilities, find something fun and it gets nerfed the next day
why even bother lmao
I theory it's a fun game but in practice you're forced to play it with wow players.
So its fricking shit.
This. No matter what they add or don't add to the game you still have to play it with the no fun allowed utter homosexuals that play wow today.
cringe ass dead game
>Season of "Discovery"
>Discovery is just retail abilities
That's what killed it for me.
It's just raiding. That's it. And not even hard raiding. And raids that are irrelevant not 6 months later but THREE months later.
Damn dude no way level 25 and level 40 mini raids won't be relevant at level 60.
>why did game fail
>it bad
>It... IT SUPPOSED TO BE BAD!!
Vanilla isn't any different: no one is going back to Deadmines after they are level 21+. That's it, that content is over, there's nothing for my character in there anymore.
The issue with SoD is how long each phase is. Three months? To get to level 25? Three months is more than enough time to "beat" the entirety of Vanilla, from 1 to 60.
Each phase should've lasted a month imo. Regardless of all the other issues people already mentioned, like unbalanced runes.
Kek, same.
>Vanilla isn't any different: no one is going back to Deadmines after they are level 21+. That's it, that content is over, there's nothing for my character in there anymore.
Sure, it's the exact same thing if you never make alts. Most people aren't autistic though.
You can make alts in SoD? I don't understand what you're trying to say.
>Most people aren't autistic though.
Most people only play one character, kill Ragnaros once and quit the game. Actually, most people quit at level 35.
Ah yes, level 30-50, the famously fun part of vanilla levelling
I'm so glad they didnt double down on mage aoe so that everyone could just sit inside a dungeon cleave spam group for the whole time
Since the phases are staggered there is no reason to cleave unless you want to run out of things to do sooner.
This is exactly what 95% of WoW players do. And when the game feels like such a chore to play, how else will people treat it but like a job?
No it isn't. Most people quest and take things slow. You're only hearing the very vocal small minority who complain about not having new content after poopsocking 36 hours straight.
Where are said people? The game is dead
>you think you do
yea i do , but i'm not getting scammed with a monthly fee in 2024 for timegated content
>Blizzard tricked millions of dumb Black folk to pay them 15$ a month for a quarter of a year to level to 25 so that they could re-run Black Fathom Depths off cool down
to be fair it was really just 2 months for most people.
Are any of the new runes actually interesting or did they blow their load during phase one and now it's just slight stat increases?
They added melee hunter which has more dps than warrior or rogue. You just spam raptor strike. Spamming raptor strike was exactly what everyone had in mind when they said they want melee hunter.
The frick else did you expect? Omega raptor strike or something? kek
>The frick else did you expect?
How about they delete these dogshit abilities that nobody has ever liked and replace them with something better
That would require a modicum of effort, blizzard didn't even give enough of a shit to steal fun ideas from ascension.
You realize Blizzard got zero sign off to add "new things" right? If you take a second to see exactly what they did zero of it is new, all the abilities are re-used with number adjustments and the two raids you got are re-used with number adjustments. So yes you where and will never get something "new" in SoD.
shadow priest plays like it did in wotlk. and they gave us dispersion so that changes a lot in pvp and pve. yes, even healy priests get dispersion
They let hunters be actual melee and it’s pretty cool to be attacking mobs right next to the pet
It's funny because retail Survival is dogshit, but spamming Raptor Strike with your pet in melee is actually fun.
The game has completely lost its essence. Streamer orbiting has reached unprecedented levels, gold buying is running rampant, and bots seem to be everywhere. Players are stuck in a monotonous cycle of spamming the same dungeon repeatedly until they reach level 40. Meaningful interactions are scarce, unlike in Hardcore mode where you could encounter friendly waves on the road or engage in conversations within dungeon groups. It's disheartening to admit, but it seems like the end. SoD has essentially become a platform for streamer exploitation. HC was too. The game is on its last few breaths
Classic has been like this from the start, boosting, gold buying, streamers running the show.
I still love the game in its vanilla form, but the playerbase is beyond redemption.
>last few
this is the last. After SOD I honest to god doubt anybody will have the strenght to play this slop one more time. The game has nothing to offer anymore. Even if classic+ ever becomes a thing there won't be enough things different to not make it suck. People who have nostalgia leveling in vanilla a moronic subhumans. Thats quite literally the worst part of the game and there is nothing after that. WSG was absolute cancer until recently due to premades only with win streaks of 80 to 1.
more organic players than XIV
Wow is mostly played by mentally ill people. Like I tried it because I really wanted to see the classic raids later on but already in phase 2 90% of people left and never came back and the rest that came back had mental breakdowns and unsubbed before reaching 40. By now 90% of the game is empty as frick. Apperently in phase 1 only 50% of all players who started even reached lvl 20
i played some HC and enjoyed it. but i can't forget how one Scarlet Monastery run, there was a dude in chat talking about how his female toon is his "goal body"
>turn game into retailslop
>it fails like retailslop
What a mystery
>lock the best gear behind a weekly lockout in a dungeon on hardmode
>don't add in dynamic world events where you can obtain this gear instead
Sod is basically how classic would be if every char was stupid op like in retail. Hc or vanilla is so much better than sod. Have fun doing nothing at 40 for 3-4 months.
There's millions of sods playing this. Blizzard got insane ROI on this.
I'd give Classic another chance if they added in personal loot and dungeon finder. Unfortunately the average Classic player is sub 80 IQ and genuinely believes both of these things are horrible because they're """retail features""".
phase 2 runes are dogshit, and getting them is dogshit also
gnomer is dogshit, no one is playing classic to do retail mechanics (yes i've 6/6 cleared twice). they also picked the worst possible dungeon for a raid.
massive gold inflation and insane gold sinks at level 40 (crafted items are 400g or more, have to spend 10g for consumes if you want to be fully consumed for raids). They killed the only way for people that don't want to buy gold to get gold (GDKPs), but didn't stop the boomers buying gold nonstop.
PVP isn't fun, you get killed in 3-4 gcds by every single class. People do level 60 damage (or more) with 1500-200 life at level 40.
Almost zero resemblance to classic anymore, I dot up and kill 4-5 mobs at a time on my shadow priest at level 40 without any risk of dying.
>Almost zero resemblance to classic anymore
This, it's like the homosexual devs enjoyed wotlk classic levelling and decided they wanted a game mode dedicated entirely to that
All we have is parse numbers shitposter. have a nice day.
>add a bunch of fun abilities
>nerf them continuously until they're just boring unfun filler like in retail
I'm not even 40 yet. lvl 38 and enjoying the questing. HC players rush to 40, exploit the STV event and then complain that theres nothing to do. Get fricked nerds
I can't even find a SM run as a healer bros...
>retail-
my SoD server is so packed it's hard to complete quests because everyone's competing for mobs. The servers are way busier than back in real vanilla days, it's too much really
most servers have 10+ layers, OP is a moronic Black person
No actual new content + seasonal
Ngl but there's rly nothing to do except raidlog at 40 if you don't wanna PvP or mindlessly grind gold for p3
>could make kino SM raid
>make gnomer raid, the worst possible dungeon
>takes hours for horde to reach
game is dogshit
>make SM raid, the worst possible dungeon
>takes hours for alliance to reach
you are moronic
>takes hours for horde to reach
????????
you stupid Black personfricker the horde can literally teleport to gnomer, when did alliance get a SM teleporter? never
horde gets a quest that you can teleport right to it. alliance still has to walk
you WoW subhumans really won’t let this game die huh? Why do you insist on keeping the is corpse alive? Stop giving blizzard money
I needed an MMO to play after FF died
No you fricking don’t
I really enjoyed phase 1, but phase 2 just seems lamer? I don't really know what it is but I don't have any desire to play.
there just isn't anything new. The playerbase is also complete aids and no streamer played it, thus making it feel like it was a pump and dump. Like asmongold and esfand didn't even try it, shit was weird.
I like MMOs that are about leveling and the journey through the world, and don't care at all about raiding or "the games begins at max level" homosexualry that MMOs became. I liked classic WoW a lot, and was looking forward to BC classic when they announced level boosts that remove everything I like about the game. I immediately stopped paying attention to every version of WoW classic, including SoD. I literally don't even know what it is. So did all my friends for the same reason.
It pops off for two weeks. That's all anyone decent at the game needs to experience all the fun.
Can't help you if you got left behind. Maybe try harder next time I dunno.
the game is literally packed right now every zone has so many people it's hard to do quests, SOD has been a massive success for blizzard just like basically every version of classic they've churned out. you can't even see your character model outside of SM and that is with them adding way more layers recently
