Just stress test beta here.
Soldato
Yeah i'm in the beta. Account is from Korean Beta, then Euro Beta, and Release day vanilla.
Soldato
Well I'm looking forward to it. Decided I'll level a rogue this time round from scratch.
Free publicity giving streamers access first. Be silly not to this day and age.
Glad asmongold and soda will be playing US servers cba to deal with the 30k scrubs following them about ha
Just did WC on the private server... Over 2 hours later, completed. Failed doing the escort quest. And we only had 2 deaths the entire run. A proper dungeon

I legitimately can't wait for this - it's not about difficulty, or raiding or that Retail isn't as good or anything for me. I just miss the old world with the old quests and the old way of playing. Human Mage wiping to Defias Pillagers for ages incoming.

I've been doing the same for the past week or so, the only killer is that the server is so popular it's almost impossible to quest as there's so many people. The hype for Classic is crazy right now. I'd be feeling pretty bad if I was a developer working on BFA.
Yea, the server is VERY crowded, Once you get into the 20's I'm told it gets better. As it's when people start going to different areas to level. I'm going to go to get a few quick and easy quests in Redridge mountains and then head up to Ashenvale, as most people avoid it. But as a hunter, I'll probably just find a good little grinding spot.

Seeing a few streamers complaining about how clunky it feels - yes, spell batching, that thing you all rejoiced at when it was announced it would be put back in.
Soldato
No Captain Placeholder in Menethil. This isn't vanilla. I'm out.
I heard about this too. I SERIOUSLY hope their complaints are not met with action from Blizzard, adjusting and tweaking how vanilla feels to suit their needs...
Also, I can't find anything but I may start a google sheet to keep track of streamers and servers they play on so it's easy to avoid them.

I wouldn’t mind it not being in, as it was only in there originally due to technical limitations at the time - and I remember what it was like at the time, just clunky laggy gameplay . But keeping things authentic, fair enough.
But then you get the hard core “no changes” streamers - many that never even played vanilla and have just watched a few old PvP videos showing the unintended consequences of spell batching - now complaining about it.
As you say I hope blizzard ignore them, there’s been a few things they’re complaining about that were how it was in vanilla. But it’s different on private servers!?!
Agreed, it's shocking how many of these streamers never even played Vanilla. I'm happy and jealous that they get to experience this from fresh, but at the same time, they shouldn't have any sway over the end game release as a result.
Only time will tell how blizz react to them.
Was watching a well known streamer today and they were moaning about how long the levelling was taking by doing quests around the gameworld, so they decided instead to just run instances over and over as the most efficient way to level.
I had to chuckle to myself really...so bypass the gameworld and just level in instances. Sounds like the retail mindset is too strong in many. Moan that the gameworld is dead in the zones in retail, cry for the old days of vanilla and the liveliness of the gameworld. Get Classic and then spend the time levelling in dungeons instead thereby simply repeating the same thing they were moaning against in the first place.

Level cap increased to 40. Glad I'm taking my time, all the 30-35 zones are an absolute zoo now. Still rocking it at 22 -_-

Bunch of invites went out today, check your launchers.
