As a new player, this is quite daunting since you'll automatically assume that everyone knows a lot more than you do. And when faced with the choice of spending 50-something skill points in an exhaustive list, most players will probably look up the most optimal way to spend them. World of Warcraft and Classic especially are games that have been ‘solved' optimal skill trees and rotations are accessible for everyone. Skill trees are not being dumbed down to make a game more accessible, they are often a way to reign in the room for error. Having been through several MMORPGs and their development cycles I know that is a lie players like to tell themselves. Now when players gush about the good old days of World of Warcraft, they often tell the story of how the skill points of your character really mattered and how later versions of the skill tree really took away the RPG systems. So let's get into the specifics a little.Ĭharacter Progression and the Illusion of Choice And while it should be easier now to level in the earlier zones, especially on a fresh server barely being able to do dungeons because no one wanted to run Razorfen Downs since everyone was grinding Heroics in TBC instead.
So you're going to spend some time just finding an uncongested zone to quest in. This brings us back to the problem of sharing one Zone with level 70 characters from both factions doing dailies or a 50-50 mix of players leveling. And the time spend spamming in the LFG chat channel even with the party finder function Blizzard has added could also just be spent doing quests instead. Being late to the party that is Classic TBC forming a group especially when you play DPS or Tank can take upwards of an hour, depending on when you play. Not that going into a dungeon faired any better either. And while I would've delighted to be in a fight with those players, I had to watch a Bloodelf Death Knight grief said boss for a solid 40 minutes until they got bored. On a non-PvP server, it can be a quite miserable experience, waiting for the players of the opposite faction to clear out just so can kill a world boss that only spawns every 5 minutes. I ran, and this might be due to me playing around midnight and early mornings on weekdays on a European server, into the constant issue of either not finding groups when I needed them or sharing zones with players when I had to be left alone. But I have to say that traveling Azeroth even in its classic edition on a not-fresh server at the end of an expansion's life cycle is a miserable experience. Thanks for a generous 50% experience buff the leveling experience is a lot less painful and you get out of a zone just when you're starting to get sick of it. While the RPG part is supposed to be huge in Classic, you feel like you're hampering yourself by not following guides.
Now some of those complaints can probably be pinned down by the fact that Classic was designed for a completely different audience. And my experience with World of Warcraft Classic has bounced from kinda pleasant to a little miserable. I leveled a Rogue all the way from level 1 to cap and also started the same journey on the newly released Death Knight class which luckily starts at level 55. Within the span of just a couple of weeks, I managed to ding 70 on two separate occasions. Starting World of Warcraft Classic – “The Meaningful Journey” Find out how the journey began in Part 1.
