for me it’s rogue, every other class I’ve got to max level at least once and really enjoyed it. I love the idea of rogues but I dislike that they basically have zero spell effects, daggers suck and are really tiny and boring to me, half the time it’s a random toe nail from a dog or something, can’t really compare that to a big 2h axe or a cool looking staff
anyways, what class can you just not play?
Level 27 Rogue in multiple BoE blues in a dungeon where everyone was already getting 10xp per elite kill because of him yet barely keeps himself ahead of a Level 21 Hunter auto-attacking. I was so flabbergasted I couldn't form a sentence.
Was not aware it was life or death for him to replace his Cape of the Brotherhood and it was not mentioned during the entire run that he was seeking this cape. It did replace my Webwing Cloak though.
Yes he flamed and name-called throughout the last boss fight as well.
So for those that don't know. SOD/Season of discovery was a experimental server blizzard put out a while back to sort of get a feel of what they wanted to do for classic wow. While it's since ceased development to work on a new project, the servers are still up. If you're looking for a good itch to give yourself something to try, i'd 100% give it a go.
So Discovery is the main take of this version. Armor, spells, new ways to play your class. For me as an example, a portion of my quest to get new poisons actually had me to go Shadowfang keep and stealth through the entire dungeon without getting caught.
Really these are the best parts of the game if you're into class fantasy, as every class gets something new and catered to them. Including new roles to play, such as how rogues/warlocks can tank. Or that mages can heal.
I would go into the raiding scene, but right now, most of the raiding seems to be more at end game. But if you're able to gather enough players, heading into raids such as Black Fathom/Gnomer/Sunken Temple are unique experiences that were a blast to go through.
For the most part, unless said otherwise. I would treat season more single-player ish with the current player population. *As it got hit hard when devs said they're moving on to work on other stuff.* But most of what you can do that's unique to the SOD experience can be done solo.
This may stir me up and I know they practically killed the servers and sh but what if we just all go back and possibly they realize we want it back so much and give us new additions and bring it to life again? I’m quite new still but why don’t we do this ? Am I missing something cause I feel like the solution is pretty easy
For the past 21 years I have thought of and referred to this quest as "beer blasted boar ribs". You know, like Flavor Blasted Doritos*®*. I am in complete shock, just like the time I learned (after many years) that crocolisks in wow have 6 legs, not 4.
Title mainly.
What are you personal red flags, what are red flags you've noticed?
Any guild I've personally ever been in that has a, "just replace people" mindset is normally hyper dogshit unless they're a guild pushing super high ranks ect.
What are yours?
Super stoked to get into it finally with some irl friends for the first time in my life, they're going in blind with me as their teacher.
Back in the day I never got around to raiding so excited to approach that part of the game with them, it should be easier to shop around for Dungeon parties assistance with a bigger team.
That's all, just super excited. Logging on and leveling with my buddies in goldshire until level 10, then I'm gonna get my lvl13 night elf down and explore with them.
Any rite of passage suggestions are appreciated, already planning to take them to goldshire tavern.
Everyone was rich in SoD and everyone could afford to run max consumes, get their gear, etc. Sure, if you had just started a week into phase 6, you were going to be behind, but part of the beauty of SoD was that it was easy to catch up.
You had a hundred different ways to make good efficiently. Every profession was able to generate a ton, and there were told farms galore available to every class.
We even had the incursions incident. Tons and tons of gold was injected into the economy and despite people trying to convince themselves that it sent prices through the rough because, surprise surprise, level 60 materials saw a spike in price at the start of phase 4, this didn't happen. Prices inflated slightly as they always do when demand rises. Any momentary spike subsided quickly.
And the game was better for it. It was enjoyable to farm gold knowing that herb you picked in silithus wasn't going to sell for 6s. And yes, you could actually take herbalism/mining in SoD and make a ton of gold. i made an alt for it myself. Instead of having to spend all my free gaming time trying to keep up with consumes, I found myself helping guildies more, doing old raids, discovering cool farms, engaging with the new content, etc. it was great.
Long live SoD, the greatest version of WoW ever made.
I am refuge from Turtle WoW and want to play classic but see new things. Does SoD implementation new content to leveling or is it only end game?

Hey! My name is Occ, I am an officer from WoW Guild Progress. Over the years of managing guilds I found myself building more and more complex Google Sheets, Discord integrations etc. until I spent a lot of time developing an all in one tool that integrates key functionalities of sites like softres.it, sixtyupgrades, raidplan.io, raidhelper and more: OXM.gg.
The application is currently in Open Beta and every user / guild can freely register if you already have your guild managed via Discord. It is 100% integrated into your Discord server and roles, no additional permission handling inside of OXM needed.
The system is also packed with functionality and logic that is not visible at first glance, so I am for sure still working on making the system better out of the box. Initially this was only used by Progress and I did not intend to make this public, so this requires you to setup a bit by yourself, but with a bit of reading and clicking you will make it. :)
Players mark their unavailability, single dates or recurring. The auto-split or your manual rostering reads that data automatically, so your roster is already built around who's actually showing up.
Generates balanced raid splits factoring in class comp, role distribution, loot priority, and absences all at once.
Set rules like "Feral tank boss, Paladin tank adds" or "this class handles interrupts on phase 2" and the engine fills out your entire raid automatically.
Assignments render as interactive visual maps, generated directly from your assignment data and updated in real-time as your roster changes.
Phase-accurate BiS lists for every class and spec, slot-by-slot comparisons. Plan your upgrade path and share builds with the guild or community via import / export codes.
Players pick their SR items via web directly on the raid/PUG. No separate service needed.
Full loot history with RCLootCouncil import support and automatic BiS acquired logic for characters receiving the items.
Public PUG listings with web signups and automatic Discord announcement sync.
Receive Discord messages for approvals and manage your finances for your Guild easily.
Kanban task board for officers (kinda like mini-trello) assignments, due dates, and comments to keep everyone on the same page.
AND A LOT MORE BUT ITS GETTING TOO LONG ANYWAY ALREADY...
Any feedback or questions, ideally visit my Community Discord - but I will of course try to be available here as well.
40th - the kids are moved out
60th - retirement home LAN party
Or is there another one?
I wanna lvl a third toon (got Druid + pala) wich class has some niche lvling? Like paladin I lvlved in classic with solo ZF etc. is there anything at somenpoint where they can do alternative fast and fun routes?
Found this little gem in my recommended. Surprised I had never seen this before. Thought I'd share it in case some of you hadn't seen it!
I bought a pc the other day and was thinking of getting some games that are purely on computer. I’ve always loved the idea of playing WoW and I am finally going to bite the bullet and get it.
However, I know I am 20 years behind 😂. For me, someone who has dabbled in a few mmo’s before but not massively - how would you recommend I start? Retail / Classic? If Classic then which one?
Quick question also… if I start with proper Classic, and create a character. Once I’ve done that expansion can I use the same character on other Classic expansions?
Any other tips for a brand new player also welcomed.
Thanks 🫡
Raid / pvp / leveling?
Edit: EU
Last night I main tanked gruul/mag for the 2nd time so it’s still new to me, and at about 25% he basically 2 hit me, I was in mitigation gear so had around 15k hp and around 400sp
I didn’t pop an ironshield potion, now I’m thinking should have had one up for the duration of the fight?
And with mag that was fine but wondering if a mix of threat and mit is best for that fight?
Any advice is appreciated ty.
Hello,
I played anniversary up until hitting 70 and found out i enjoyed leveling more than end game grind.
What would be the best version (era / hardcore / tbc) for enjoyable leveling experience? Im talking about finding randoms out in the world leveling and forming dungeon groups easily
I play on EU btw
Thank you
I bought this in the charity auction for about £50 from recollection in 2012.
I played on 3 servers in classic, Bladefist, Genjuros and Outland (EU English speaking). The Bladefist one was too expensive for me (I was about 22 at the time) so opted for the second server we migrated to (after I think blizz realised Bladefist got too full).
But I'm not sure how many of these actually exist as I can't recall how many were auctioned. My gut was telling me about 50 English realms or so?
I'm not concerned on the value of them as I'm never going to sell it but I can see some insane sales of them recently..
I found this article but couldn't see numbers https://hothardware.com/news/blizzard-to-auction-wow-servers-and-give-proceeds-go-to-charity#:\~:text=Because%20of%20you%20and%20millions,one%2C%20head%20over%20to%20here.
