Yeah it sucks. People speculate that Niantic thinks it would make regional pokemon less "special" since you could just trade for them or something. You could easily solve that by making them not tradeable like they do when you've used your Special Trade of the day.
Yeah fuck that, it's bad enough that I have to leave my house to play it properly....Really don't like games that try to force things. I don't like being social with it, can't they just let me be
Since August? Not much else, no. Was playing through the Witcher series before then though, almost got to the third games' DLC but ran out of time before Classic launched.
How fun is classic? Was thinking of playing it with some friends, though not sure if it‘s a good idea for the more casual ones of the group. Is it mainly something for fans who want to relive the past and the current version is better?
It's pretty fun. I didn't have much experience with the game back all those years ago, mainly only tried it over friends house, etc. It definitely feels like more of an MMORPG than the game is in it's recent state. It's kept my interest for about a month now, so the sub seemed worth it. Lawl went back to retail but he might try to catch up to us again. But myself, Haku, and Tina are 40+ now, so I guess the real grind begins soon.
More an MMORPG in what sense? Which element/s of that did the game lose with later updates? Is it mainly the difficulty of getting more levels? Or the smaller scale(though I‘m sure even the classic version is pretty large in content). Is the grind super slow at some point to the point of farming mobs for long time/doing repeatable quests?
- The world is LARGER due to the difficulty of obtaining a mount and there being no flying and you having to experience most of it while leveling. You actually see people out in the world and have to cooperate with them, the enemy faction as well. In the current WoW, world pvp is kind of nonexistent, it's all instanced. The two original continents in WoW are actually larger than what has been added in expansions. There's no flying and less flightpoints compared to the current version of the game, so the world just feels more daunting overall.
That was pretty informative, thanks. Do you think it‘ll last long or will people eventually switch back to the normal WoW version? Is it just „in“ because of nostalgia, or will it be it‘s own stable MMO?- The world is LARGER due to the difficulty of obtaining a mount and there being no flying and you having to experience most of it while leveling.

- The endgame difficulty of Classic is a joke compared to the hardest content in modern WoW, but the difficulty is more evenly spaced out. Leveling is PART of the game and is challenging. It's also rewarding and the character progression aspect is more satisfying due to no Diablo-style loot with random stats that results in an seemingly endless grind that only exists to keep people subscribed. In modern WoW leveling is mostly an obstacle to get people to the endgame and is too brief of an experience. Outside of story-telling opportunities is provides, it doesn't offer much.
- The server community is constant, due to there being no cross-server play. You meet people out in the world and can see them several days down the line. People have reputations for being good/nice players, or being griefing shitheads. The modern game is too impersonal, with very few reasons to be social and create relationships in-game.
Yeah, we're nearing the mid 40s, which is considered the true halfway point of leveling as far as XP goes. We'll also likely run out of quests to do towards the upper 50s too... just vanilla things, I guess.
I don't think Blizzard knows how to balance OW, or much of anything. They're too slow to act. I understand your point in it making the game to narrow though, and that was something I sort of worried about. I supposed 3-3 was never super popular outside of OWL and High SR games anyways... but I guess they care about it being boring to watch for people in OWL. I will say that I think 2-2-2 lock should make the game easier to balance though. That way we don't see Tanks and Healers nerfed due to OWL 3-3 play while 95% of the playerbase plays in games where Tanks can't protect shit since they die in a blink of an eye.
Yeah I guess you might be right about what you mentioned. Like I said, my experience with it was only a couple days and it wasn't really worse than it was beforehand. I guess there are positives and negatives to both versions of the game perhaps. Hopefully there can be further improvements to it to make it feel less constricting... or a newer, more interesting pvp game comes out.
They're adding content to Classic in phases, so there will be periodic updates to it. The real question is whether they just continue with TBC and Wrath, or if they try to do something like Classic+ where new content is added using the older design philosophy. There's no question they've made a shitload of money in subs due to the hype. Is it about nostalgia? I'm sure for many it might be, but as an example, Tina and Haku never played it and they're playing it now over BFA. My experience with vanilla wow wasn't very extensive either, and I'm doing the same. It would seem that most people playing WoW are playing Classic. That can't only be about nostalgia. I think there's value for them, as well as players, because you only have to sub once to play both. You can cross-promote, and they're spacing things out so downtime in one version means more content in the other usually.
I don't see it as being about not enough heroes being viable. A lot of times, things that are shunned for not being "viable" are treated that way because they don't fit into the cookie-cutter model everyone thinks they need to play. The issue is the lack of choices, simply because with more options the rock-paper-scissors game is more expanded. If something counters a comp hardcore but is lackluster in other situations, it doesn't even need balance changes. Right now Blizz is too fixated on changing numbers for Hero X-Y-Z, when in reality the game would be much better served having more options. Easier said than done of course, but it's what the game needs IMO. The speculation I saw some time ago about them ratcheting up production in the hero department seems to have been incorrect, I guess.
Uhhh, what? Doesn't do that for me.

Roses need a lot of sun but afternoon shade. They also like consistent moisture, but I would avoid watering them if it's not going to be a sunny day.I wonder if you have reference for me about sun/water needs, stratification, etc on these species:
1. red climbing rose
2. forget me not
3. menzie's baby blue eyes
thank you in advance!
Did this happen elsewhere?
