  1. If they could get a handle on the botting and gold selling/buying issue I could get on board. Soon it'll be back to GDKP's and other nonsense. I want to WANT to like it, but i cant help but feel its going to be a waste of effort in the end. Glad others are enjoying it so far though!

  2. Picked shaman hoping ele would be viable.. sadly its shit until 40 since 3 second casts feels terrible with pushback. Only shaman tank feels viable which is pretty sad. They fixed oomkins and didn't help the other mana struggle classes at all. Did BFD as a tank and guess ill be back whenever we get to phase 2. Overall kind of disappointed

  3. My singular disappointment with SOD has been that Ashenvale is not a PVP-On zone. I rolled a PvE server thinking that I could have the best of both worlds, a peaceful life farming when wanted and a life of ganking mfs when i wanted to. I wanted the best of both worlds, and that’s what I thought Ashenvale was going to be. Nope, just a PvE zone with Alterac Valley PvE content. We need something like a King Of The Hill type beat, something that forces people to go to war instead of this non-combat bs.

  4. I have a horrible experience with this so far.
    No matter where you go or what you do, there are 100 people on the same layer doing the same stuff. even with a group, I need an hour for "kill 15 xy" quests and I also cant play my class as intended because when I wait for my pet or pull with a dot, I dont get the mob in 90% of cases.
    It`s really frustrating when you only have 2-3 hours in the evening…

  5. Maybe it’s because I didn’t play vanilla back in the day, but I just can’t enjoy classic. It’s so slow, so boring— the questing and traveling really disrespect player’s time. I respect that there are people with nostalgia enjoyment, and I’m glad it exists for them. But I cannot enjoy this kind of a game today. I don’t have the time to spend 3/4 of my time in game traveling. Too many life things going on for that.

  6. The end game is so boring. Bfd full clear in 1hr and spam wsg because ashenvale isn't worth the tep. I'm already rank 3 with full bis by week 2. This is the easiest version of wow to ever exist

  7. Capping professions, or raisimg level required for professions, removing fishing tourny, arena, zone chests, etc. All ruined a lot of tneorycrafting min maxing hype.

    Oh and gating lock tank rune behind a level capped raid for phase 1 is pretty lame. Gotta gear up and raid as dps just to be able to regear and tank dungeons.

    I wanted to level and run rfc and sfk as a tank

  8. Hey Scottejaye – have you thought yet about which 20 (or more) quests are you going to have ready to hand in when the level cap is raised? I wonder what level will be reachable with hand ins.

  9. To be fair, this is refreshing, this is so good actually having time to enjoy the earlier version of wow we usually dont pay attention to. The only thing I have to complain is about mage being broken with arcane expolosion with their healing still. They're just unkillable under those cds. But it's been great all the way!

  10. I would love to hear a longer video that tries to tease out exactly what makes Season of Discovery fun. Like, for people who might be playing Retail or playing other games even, and have never played Classic before.

  11. SoD is a solid win, BUT it would be even better if blizz would have made twisting between SoM and SoC possible. Not sure it that was a bug or intentional… maybe someone can ask the devs about it 🤔

  12. Ive definitely enjoyed the epic nature of those big boi runes like Divine Storm and Meta. Even when you know what to do, its still like a 6 step process. Kind of feels like crafting your own legendary 😂

  13. î think you are correct that the second character will level faster and yes the season of discovery aspect is a bit gone with the second one because people know where they are. But you don't have to look it up. You can still go through the experience of finding them for yourself. and even if you don't getting a group together to "raid" higher level content to get a high level rune early is still one of the most fun things to do. And I think that improves the leveling experience a lot. As it adds content and rewards that's way different than what you would normalle do during leveling.

  14. My only complaint is how people rush to 25 and walk over corpses to get there, only to moan at 25 that there is nothing to do. Maybe people have better community experiences on other servers.

  15. Huge, massive flop for me with way too many canary issues that made me quit. The devs very obviously have no fucking clue what they're doing and it's a testament that the playerbase is so incredibly mazed that Blizzard can shove out an unfinished piece of shit product with no QA behind it and people with lap it up no issue. I can assure you your sentiments long with everyone else's is going to sour 2-3 weeks from now and it will only get worse as new phases are brought and the exact same issues happen time and time again.

  16. I am glad people are enjoying. Personally it just didnt do it for me. I was sooo hyped for something new… but turns out I wasnt. I was just hyped for a fresh experience. I am still dreaming about something along the line of 2019 classic release again.

  17. I am playing SoD with mixed feelings. I like there are lots of people playing, but as you said – "Discovering" is gone. Now you just do the same shit as in wotlk. Lvl an alt or raidlogg, maybe go into ashenvale pvp. I really do not like Vanilla classic in the first hand and SoD did not make me love it more. There are simply not significant changes to the core of the game. SoD will simply die out like any other classic servers. To be fair it took my focus of of wotlk but mostly i did was running in circles in dala. FOr me SoD did absolutley not live up the hype its just like the presentation of Homer Simpsons new designed nuclear power plant, where he taped cool wings on top of it and everybody cheers on it…. but mosly because there is no better shit to compete

  18. I LOGGED .Got 2-3 runes .Leveled to lv 12 and realised that aside from some new skills ,98% is same old classic .They just need to copy Twow and let us play .No new quests,refreshed zones,no class identity, nothing new and interesting .And on top of that ,the most disliked dungeon -BFD ,turned in to a raid .I leveled 4 lv 60s on Twow .Still i find new zones and quests and stories .Cool new dungeons ,peofessions and many ,MANY MORE !. SoD feels like it was made for retail players who have never play,liked and actually understood Classic .I am amazed at how disconnected the devs are .They have literally no idea what ppl want.

  19. If i'm asked. No. Season of discovery is average experience. Runes are nice, but the game misses too much quality of life updates Season of discovery server could use. More flypoints, longer buff duration, higher item stack amount and other things. Buffs last 2, 5, 10 and some rare few 30 minutes. Just slap all of them to 1 hour would improve many class experience. None would increase the class power, but would make gameplay much smoother.
