ClassiCast #17 | Talking Classic w/ Preach!

My brother is funny about his children.

They played Rayman 3, there was hard place, the children were offering the controller to everyone to do it for them, the dad said that if they are not going to play it them self he is going to close the console and start watching tv ^_^ oh how easy that place was after that lol!

When I get to buy them games I will find something hard or challenging.
Like Mario Odyssey that they had to start from the start ~ I mean they start switch I tell them "do what you want, you won't brake it unless you try to" ^_^

One thing I find funny is that they play driving games using stering wheel -> personally I think you should spend up to 300€ to get steeringwheel, good driving game and but your children drive racing games like Dirt, colling mac raylly, flatout 2 using steeringwheel.

If you do that as children driving car will be easier compared to thous who don't : and I'm just talking about my own experience here, I started playing racing games 90's and I was born 90's 😀 I think I have driven using steering wheel since I was 5y old ^_^ so when I got behind car's steeringwheel it was easy.
Once even accidently at winter got car going sideways 😀 no problem just casually press gash to go forwards to so I would not hit the two cars in front of me, one waitting to turn on road lol 😀

Children learn fast, and if you put them play Flatout 2 from first person using wheel they will learn somewhat to drive car . . . add to that manual and they will learn to shift . . .

You can also let them drive F1 games ^_^ that is fun.

Take spet future and add VR to that 😀 that will be fun . . . then again at that point you won't let the children play because you are playing 24/7 . . .

I like how they guessed Westfall and Barrens before the demo even launched.
Damn geniuses.

Why is Tipsout here even? No reasonable comments just a spectator. "ABSOLUTELY INSANE" caster

im with preach.. i thought cata was great :/

Tips is great, I especially like the part where he says nothing at all.

i had a friend like that when i tried to get him into wow. he like couldnt do anything other then follow me and he was like having a hunter pet that just sucked up xp. he had no original thought of what to do or where to go

Started early vanilla. Quit midway thru wrath, played every expansion since but have never put in much effort and have never played more than casual. BC removed world PVP and resilience took a lot of the reflexes and skill out of PVP. While longer fights added more strategy, players had more time to make decisions and werent required to be decisive. I felt this was a bad shift for PVP and it didnt suit me. So I stopped pvping at the end of BC. But continued to raid and cleared sunwell. WOTLK launched and I was SO pumped for world pvp, ganking at the start of an expansion is my fave! I was greeted with sharding areas where players would disappear in their own zones for quests and I turned the game off at level 71. I didnt return for several weeks and when I did, I cleared thru ToC and was the second best PVE geared hunter and top performing DPS in the top guild on my server. I was pretty happy with myself. Nearing the end of ToC I was pumped to see what was next… I was greeted with the same raid at a different difficulty level that rewarded the SAME gear with minorly different stats… PVE immediately died… You mean players that werent good got to see weaker versions of the same raids as me? They got to wear the same gear as me??? My PVE gear didnt stand out in PVE, I couldnt use it in PVP, PVP was ruined, annnd there was no sense in putting in effort to PVE because anyone could do it… I fell into a cycle of grinding up max level characters and dungeon Qing… But never ever really played again. Im now happily on a private server raiding and pvping as hard as ever!

Esfand is a blatant phony, he did not play during the old days.

In other words, little you became the modern WoW developers? 😛

Bc was my favorite.. only started playing vanilla wow about a month or two before bc came out and nobody like prot pallys in vanilla wow.. I can’t tell you how much time I spent doing daily quest and grinding out rep for certain mount or who knows what

great guest 🙂

had to comment I can’t wait to tank on my Druid for the alliance I started on kargath server with my hunter who I just can’t seem to lvl to max even now lol I sadly missed the end of vanilla and tbc so super excited to come back to vanilla again and get what I missed I definitely miss the community and how willing everyone was to help and you knew who was bad and or rude everyone had their reputation hoping my old friends who haven’t logged in for years come back

I May be a wrath baby 👶 but at least I’m not a WoD-BoA Baby 🤪

I have a solid idea on how to deal with "fresh" servers, what to do with old servers, etc.

Assuming TBC isnt launching or doesnt end up happening, I think the best system for dealing with Classic servers WILL be a "season" based system where once Server A is pretty much wrapping up progression, Server B is launched. As Server B hits the end of progression, Server B gets combined with Server A and Server C is launched. How long any one player will be willing to go through this cycle is anyone's guess, but that system would allow for new servers to pop up and give players a chance to get in at the start of progression regularly, and it would also give players who dont want to reroll a place to continue their characters that would regularly have new players join so it doesnt get absolutely dead.

If TBC is launched, I think there should still be one Vanilla progression server and one Vanilla "Legacy" server, and do the same for TBC while giving Vanilla players the option of swapping to the TBC progression server as progression ends on the Vanilla progression server.
