it aint gonna be no march 6th.. lol

its only the 1st week for anniversary. give it another 2 weeks or so. there will be way more most likely

Original vanilla was made by a small dedicated team… and that team literally built a game and a half. The current SoD dev’s making one new unique raid content really isn’t as impressive as you’re trying to make it sound. Now that doesn’t mean they aren’t doing a good job/trying just nothing like their predecessors did.

Them taking SoD into TBC would demonstrate just how clueless they are.

The post 60 phases are to fast. I'm just barely phase 5 bis, and that's just the 8-piece slots. My guild just started AQ40 this weekend. There's no way we'll be ready for Naxx on release at this rate but everyone will want to do the new stuff, and it'll be a slog partially undergeared.

SoD TBC!!!! for real. Bring on Sod Progressive

Loving SOD but IMO going to TBC would just be messy. The point of Classic+ for me is to stay in level 60 world and do what was unfinished. I would much rather see them keep building out the world than going into TBC. TBC is a great game on its own and I look forward to playing on the Anniversary release.

It's like those not among the Sodcore.... have just written off this version of wow. I see some crying for a classic plus. wtf. Does Blizz need to rerelease SoD next year but call it Classic Plus to convince folks that the Plus in classic wow is currently adjacent to SoD. Maybe it's not "Classic Plus". But SoD Plus is still a shirtload of fun. And the only live wow version receiving active original development. Back to Classic/CC- is more just a holding pattern to contain the playerbase until the next big thing pops up on the horizon to draw in the roamers of the wow playerbase.

The way they are going, It doesn’t make sense to keep this as a season. There is so much work affiliated with SoD that It honestly makes sense to just rebrand to classic +. Classes are doing well, professions are on point, and endgame content is just getting better and better. Not to mention leveling is reasonable and you can jump right in

Loving your videos lately, theyve been rly great. I do really hope TBC SoD isnt on the cards though.

I think Naxx on Jan would be too soon Executus. They need to let people enjoy AQ longer, mostly cause the holidays absent.

For an entire phase now I've been farming recipes off the Guru Arena, discovered two new drops from the chest even. And of course here on a locked and dead RP realm, 33 weeks now, where it's Margaritaville every day... laxness and complacency are par for the course. First time in over a decade. I had a low level mage on arena watch. And got ganked by, probably the only horde on here. It's an RP realm and I do share when toons show up for the chest. With an unknown level to me. The druid grabbed the chest. Then capped me on the spot LMAO. I love this game. PvP on Deadworld. Now I know where I'm putting my 2 60 hunters and their battleships. Looks like Moonkin's on the barby tonight.

I hope they give us TBC SoD as a holdover while they work on Classic+

Nice video. Thanks for sharing

You do Classic/SoD game mechanics deep dives? I could use a refresher on Defense and all it's mechanics in relation to the player classes. That includes: Armor, Avoidance, Defense, Block Chance, Block Value, Parry Chance and Dodge Chance... which classes have access to what mechanics and the value of Defense to them.

you dont have a new event that gives Brood of Nozdormu on sod ?

Bro, I’m so psyched for SM…

morning Kag. saw you've passed 500 sod vids. as someone whose played since launch(i did stop before p2 and came back midway through p3) i just wanna thank you for being my guide throughout this wonderful journey. i personally think we are in the best end game sod has offered. we have more people coming to raid than ever, and it only seems to look better with p7 and beyond. id love to hear your thoughts on p6 as opposed to p4 and 5.

I hope they keep making raids that they didn't get to do for sod in classic. But thinking about it I feel like they don't have the man power to make new sets and designs for all classes etc. I'm fine with them using old tbc designs and focus on just encounters for new raids and dungeons.

I would prefer to wait for a non rushed classic + and get a tbc sod as a waiting room until it's completed. I don't want to play classic classic and wait a whole year for tbc.

p3 being as long as it was let me get like 15 characters to level 50

I would not like SOD TBC , instead a classic+ /sod continuation .

As much as I love SoD I hope it ends with the Scarlet Enclave raid. Finishing up SoD and having that as an Era option while putting the resources into the actual Classic+ would be the preferred option for me.

i want sod to be more of a era format that stays lvl 60, they should however port over tbc stuff scaled down to lvl 60. give us outlands pre illidan scaled to 60 with no flying, during a time when magtheridon ruled the outlands

Im still lvl 36 😅

Where’s the interview about sod tbc? I hope the ppl vote on wanting it

Not first! :D

100% we cleansing the ashbringer in scarlet conclave

I’m so excited for MoP and playing Survival Hunter again. You going to play?

Naxx takes so long to clear on one night, but with sod everyone does so much damage I hope it can be done in one night.

These anniversary servers will flop as fast as SOM servers did. Once the shine of new is worn off. Maybe next week you can find out what the raid numbers were in SOM after the first month. I bet they are similar to these numbers

Numbers are expected to be lower this go around. People are on SOD, Cata, and Era. People are also leveling slow because they are playing other versions of the game. That number will be way higher once more people level. Leveling zones are still packed. SM & Mara has 100s of players being boosted daily... Lot's of guilds don't have their full rosters either. I know it's lower than classic 2019, but the rush to clear everything is not there for a lot of people. Most of the player base is taking a slower approach this time. It's looked at differently than 2019.

Already got two pairs of tier shoulders in anticipation

Stable yeah right had 2 bugs this week. 1st bug was AQ small not spawninng 1st chest doing hardmode and AQ 40 we could turn off Hard mode at twins. It's BS

SOD is simply the better version of the game. Don’t want to press one button and forced to play a warrior.

From what I see, most people aren't 60. They are taking their time and enjoying the journey. The zones are still super crowded, way more than I've ever seen on SoD. I've been playing an average of maybe an hour or two (or a few) a night and I'm lvl 46.

picture in the back is not even from aniverary servers, several scarab lords photo bombing it.

I work full-time, workout, take care of life tasks, have to spend time with the GF, have to spend time with friends… outside of my “weekend” and a few hours a night I’m not grinding WoW like I used to. I plan on leveling multiple classes over the course of a year and getting them ready for TBC. I think there are quite a few others in the same boat.

these numbers are based off of WCL. ANV numbers are low because a plethora of players are still leveling

SoD is eating

Interesting, but I think a TBC fresh would have gone better without the Vanilla. There's an exp squish in TBC which would have made it go by faster, and when the portal would have been open, everyone would have been ready. I think it will go up to maybe 30-40k though, but Vanilla fresh was a loud minority. People have been levelling 1-60 since 2019 and it's a long journey to do over and over and over again

Have another mage sheep you during a duel close to the gate. Trinket out of the sheep if you pass through the barrier. Having a rogue blind you might work also.

you're surprised because you don't PVP. Fresh PVP is DEAD , SOD PVP is dying everyday because blizzard totally unbalanced the game by a huge margin. Mages can do icelances of 3.1k spams ... hunters can do kill shots of 2800dmg 3 in a row .... shaman tank/healers take 4 people to kill one. They nerfed rogue damage again (Ninja nerf) , They buffed stun resist (hidden buff) Every orc or priest or warrior with stun resist even if its 15% is resisting more then 60% of the time. They made armor that reflects damage and its destroying all the rogues. Also, Hardcore is taking all the place with the streamer community..... overall classic is dying. The game needs new ability new runes and proper tweaking. Nobody is playing sod just to do the same fresh content with a few twist and turns. PArsing is dead, since game mechanics don't allow to just hit bosses none stop. The new blizzard company is killing every game it touches ..... Diablo 4 , hearstone is dying and now wow....

Its because there is no GDKP, no reason to level alts or raid anymore once you get couple of pieces. Honestly, ban bots and allow gdkp so raiding will be good again with a good purpose. If they sto bots, inflation won't be that big and people won't have to buy gold to afford even consumables.

Tried fresh couldn’t do it releasing the runes at lvl 1 is a big plus and I appreciate blizzard making us a modded version of classic and it is fun even with the problems and I’m not even 60 yet. I’m in no rush, currently I’m splitting time wandering twow and while rough around the edges imo I’m impressed with what those modders have done. I can only imagine what blizzard could truly do with sod with the tools they have.

We're not 60 yet lol.

Classic Fresh is played out. Easy pass from me after doing 2019, SoM and SoD. See you next year when TBC releases.

I’m just happy people are returning to SoD and coming in for the first time. Feels nice to see the leveling zones filled with players again.

People dont wanna level and gather all the hard drops again. Sod's future with kara and scarlet im hyped for. Also getting ready for naxx.

Perhaps I missed it sir, but I did not hear the Phase 6 drop connected to the fresh launch. Surely it also impacted going from 85k+ down to the 60k area. Thoughts? (And if you said this and I missed it, hey, comment engagement.)
