10 Times Blizzard Had to Nerf Player Discoveries in Classic

[@HotpocketsThrillerbarkPVE]

I imagine the nameplate macro was nerfed because you can target bosses that are halfway through a dungeon and when you have a macro to target a boss that only has a certain chance of even spawning. Pretty op for gold farmers

[@Dunhilina]

On launch in a raid you actually got increased XP the more people you ran with for dungeons. The torch room mobs in BRD gave full XP with ridiculously easy to kill and quickly respawning mobs. People abused stuff like this to hit 60 in a week and if you didn't take the first week to play, it took you an extra 10+ hours of leveling depending on your class and server.

[@Navarrigamer]

That's definitely one that was missed. Mage cleave was everywhere.

ClassicLFG was never intended to automate anything. It was always intended to work like the group finder listings on retail: player lists their group, other players see the listing and can apply to it or pst the leader. Would never have hurt any social aspect of Classic, and would be a MASSIVE help now due to the sheer amount of boost advertising spam clogging damn near every chat channel.

[@DeMause]

How about this classic blizzard move: Gotta remove +healing scaling on a the baron sword instead of just having it recalculate every few seconds. But Diamond flask is just fucking fine. Ret paladins aren't allowed nice things.

[@MrGlennJohnsen]

Get yourself the polearm trident from BRD, Flame Wreath. 5% proc per swing + 5% per Seal of Righteous/Seal of Command damage, so 10% per swing. Proc of the polearm does around 120 fire damage (AoE) which doesn't scale, plus a fire thorns buff for 15 seconds which does 10 damage + 100% of spelldamage as damage every time you're hit in melee. The fire thorns scales dynamically so after it procs you can equipp a one handed spelldamage weapon and activate a spelldamage trinket and it will destroy packs when you're AoE grinding, I currently use it with Zandalari Hero Charm and Lok'amir when swapped alongside full T2 and spelldamage rings, cloak, neck. Result? When polearm procs the thorns does over 620 damage, which is extremely strong!

@6:10 - In vanilla I raided with a moonkin who made extensive use of the mage enchant, as did one of our warlocks. This is actually the move away from #nochanges that annoyed me the most as I main a prot pally and was very much planning on using the warrior enchant. On the bright side, changes towards their original vision does open the door to [Righteous Defense] being added into WoWClassic as "the 'original vision' included paladins having a taunt that wasn't just a copy but blizz didn't devote the resources to fix pallies & shamans", to paraphrase Kevin Jordan.

[@dayvid_danger]

[@bezzo3328]

I dont understand why people play on PvP servers anyway. I cant imagine a way that open world pvp does make fun. Stealing ur herbs / ores, unbalanced af, removing ur world buffs (aka u wasted 2-3h for nothing). Killing you in a 5v1. Alts get killed from 60's while beeing lvl 10 or so. etc etc... BG's does make alot of fun, but for them i dont need to be on an pvp server that destroys my whole game experience.

[@dayvid_danger]

​@@bezzo3328 It adds an element of surprise and randomness to the game and essentially makes it harder and some people just enjoy the extra challenge.

You could queue as a group in to AV for several months after it was released. It was only changed later. We used to Queue in to AV after we finished MC and BWL raids as a 40man group. That is the reason it was removed. Guilds were steam rolling pugs and it was hilarious.

I was doing lasher farm on my mage back in 2005 in vanilla. Farming those lashers helped me get my first epic mount. It wasn't amazing gold but it was something.

[@Wepospalient]

One thing I miss from vanilla that isnt in classic due to the newer client was infinite eagle eye/farsight. Via macro you could cast eagle eye/farsight while already casting eagle eye/farsight to just go as far away from your character as possible, could look in on a zone from 2 zones away, it was fun.

[@God__Emperor_]

You can do it with a macro I believe

[@CommanderDOOOM]

Fairly sure you can still do this, can't see mobs through it if I remember, but I was using far sight to look into Hyjal a month or two ago

[@Wezagred]

Blizzard nerfed the Shatterspear Village (Dancing Troll Village) farm spot to level characters as alliance, as the mobs no longer give experience. To be fair, it was an uncontested zone and the mobs were PvP tagged and didn't attack anyone unless attacked, so you could potentially sit there from level 1 to 60, and get Runecloth and other useful things without being disrupted. Alliance can still farm them for items, even easier now, as they're not PvP tagged anymore but still friendly to Horde.

[@becausecontextmatters5260]

Regarding the max camera distance in retail. You also had an interface option to adjust it, not to the same settings you could from the console command but if they wanted everyone to have access to it they could have improved the interface one. The reason they nerfed it was to better balance encounters, having a wider field of view means you see mechanics earlier and have more time to avoid them (the lava waves at Sartharion was given as examples). So when deciding on how fast those waves should move, they needed a fixed reference point that wasn't based on your interface settings.

[@kairionnefarian-eu6691]

you forgot the best/worst nerf - diamobs flask works with addheal bonuses and warriors use this to solo pretty much everything. Baron Rivendares sword has the same life regen effect - but passively. If you farm addheal gear, snapshot the hot and switch to your normal gear, you could permanently run arround with 500-800 heal ticks every 5 seconds and all you had to sacrifice was your weapon slot. Best thing is, even tho it is the EXACT SAME EFFECT AS DIAMONDFLASK in the game data. they went out of their way to nerf this while preserving diamond flask wich only one class can use. Blizzard, how did you fuck that one up?!

[@cattysplat]

I don't understand why Diamond Flask snapshot is still in the game, warriors trying to ninja healer gear in dungeons is just the most cancerous thing ever.

[@brad1426]

People were doing Gorshak as early as like, September on my server actually. I remember seeing people in my guild at the time talk about it before I hit 60. Which, was around like 3-4 weeks after release for me.

[@toomuchsugar3960]

I had the mage enchant on the bloodvine leggings pretty early on as a warlock, got to do a couple of BWLs with 1% extra hit. It was done by having a mage with the enchant put the legs in the trade window and while the enchant was being applied you pressed accept at the proper time. Before it binds the item to the mage, but after the enchant is cast is complete. Too early and nothing happens, too late and you lose your item :)

[@Cizkolade]

The DME lasher farm was nerfed at the end of Vanilla wow and since we play on the 1.12 version of the game is why they're in their nerfed state Private servers also nerfed lasher farm cuz it was too good

[@calronkeltaran493]

My premade Group did actually use the WS exit to troll a Horde premade one time. they have placed the flagcarrier in an unreachable spot and we thought this would be the most appropiate way to return the favor. We will loose the battle, but they gotta have to wait forever to go for a next one

[@Azsunes]

The enchant exploit was to do with batching. What you would do is have a boe item like Bloodvine in the trade window and cast enchant on it. The receiving player would have it already accepted, and the casting play would hit accept at same time as the enchant cast finished. There was about a .5 second window so it was easy to do without a macro/addon.

[@mastermistress2369]

Lasher Farm is a 7.5-10 minute run, depending on just trash drops, you can make 25-50g and hour as a mage, and then you have greens, blues, herbs, and epics to potentially sell. It's a little more time consuming and difficult for Priest, Locks, Pallies, and druids, but it is possible.

I've liked them more when they listened to nobody. But at that time they were just a bunch of young geeks and they had better taste as well. But I have to admit it, WoW is a tricky question. Even if I think that a really good game should be original and should come from the developers/artists, MMOs are different because we are so much invested in. In other games if you do not like it you can choose to not buy it. But here it's our game as well, part of our live basically.

[@shadocloneowl8957]

[@nrran6835]

If you want someone to listen to what you want in a game, make your own. No one owes you listening to, considering, or implementing your wishlist. The community isn’t one voice and don’t all want the same things, and you’re only speaking for you and then applying it to “the community” to make it seem like it’s not what YOU want.

[@TimEddyHughes]

The enchant trading was very easy to do. When it was revealed as possible in classic, we tested it (for science) using Common shoulders and the Librams from argent dawn, and I was able to do it consistently. essentially you just clicked the libram, and clicked the shoulders. After starting the enchant cast (3 seconds?) You put it in the trade window, and then trade the item during the same batch it became soulbound. The timing seemed pretty lenient - I had no issue doing it on my first try (my ally in this case got some shoulders with the fire resist enchant despite being only friendly with argent dawn). It was nerfed overnight, so I never followed up on it

[@dostyeverts4250]

#5 only grinds my gears bc you can legit get the enchant at 58, but now you have to be level 60 to benefit from it.

[@krel3358]

This is why I dont like or trust neo-blizz. Every time someone figures something out thats clever they dont like they look at it and nerf it to the ground or remove it. The problem is that its decision is left up to the subjective judgement of a bunch of paid morons when the judgement should be left to the community. Ie every time blizzard wants to make a change to their classic game they should let the community vote on implimentation of said change or if a change needs to be made. I dont think awareness of such a thing is a valid excuse because players tend to communicate and use addons so its likely everyone will find out by word of mouth in some form or another.

[@ofadetergentsud]

[@theonetruth1478]

Prob cause alot of servers are trash and let boosters advertise in LFG instead of telling them to make their own channel, boosters have pretty much single handily killed content, the desire to go quest and grind dungeons with a group isnt there cause they rather go boost. Therefore an addon that functioned like the Burning crusader finder would be ideal for people not wanting to spam lfg to fight against booster spam.. or constantly keep lfg open to see all the spam thats not even about finding a group. I always harass boosters... ill kick em out of chat by telling people to spam them for free runs then I'll offer free runs and call them trash till they leave LFG for a few hours wish more people took this stand they prob would have made a booster channel by now.. or atleast a discord for it... I even report boosters for spam. Only good booster is a broke one... I even do free stealth runs for black stone ring... IN vanilla people constantly would help people for free.. in classic... " gimme 10 gold and ill help" SO people wanting a LFG system free of trash booster spam I can easily see why they would want the addon.

"ClassicLFG is incompatible with our *social design* in WoW Classic" I really like that it's a thing

[@WoWhistorian]

Yeah, if only the community that they were designing around was actually reasonable. I remember that whole scenario and it was so frustrating because pretty much no one fighting against its existence was willing to consider that they were basing their outrage on incorrect information. The functionality that the addon actually had was quite limited, and the original version of Meeting Stones were actually much more powerful than the addon was. All it really did (and still does, as far as I know) was parse the chat window to find and display LFG/LFM advertisements and make it a bit easier to keep track of things. It never automatically formed groups like LFD does in retail. At one point it did have an auto-accept request function that could be toggled but the author listened to us when we said that was a bad idea and removed it well before Blizzard got involved. Sorry, this topic still makes me a little angry. The way Blizzard phrased their post made it seem like everyone was right to call it a random dungeon finder when it never actually did that. A streamer just used an old version that still had the auto-accept function and planned it with friends to make it look a lot worse than it was and the entire community denounced a tool they misunderstood and could have potentially been useful. I love Classic but finding groups is really not that user-friendly. The addon prevented ads from getting immediately spammed out of the chat window while still requiring communication and manually putting a group together to succeed but nope.

"Almost every single caster wants spell hit at this point, especially warlocks" cries in Boomkin

[@im50yearsold]

I don't really understand why they removed classic LFG but never fixed the Innkeepers LFG feature (which was in vanilla but unnused due to it being pretty finicky). at the point we are at, LFG for 5 mans would solve some of the boosting issue

[@benookand4141]

the spy addon has gotten me killed sooooo many times, even when stealthed they would find my exact location and aoe me out to then kill me. This is not a addon, this should count as cheating and should be ban. It even showed the exact chords on the map where the enemies were, and you could report in world channels the location of players. So stupid, literally removes the whole point of interactions with other factions

[@zergos921221]

Magic dust drop rates from the dust devils in westfall. I do not know the original drop rates but on private server and data sites it was 40%. In classic it's 4%, considering there are only 6 spawns of that mob

Clever players locking down black lotus timers. Streamers: REEEEEEEEEE! Blizzard: We must hotfix this 15 year old mechanic.

[@sum_gui]

On pagle there was a guy who had 10 accounts and camped all the spawns in silithus. After he got the one in silithus he would send all of his characters to winterspring and get it there, then hearth back to silithus. He would do this from 1 or 2 am to noon every morning. This was something I'm very happy got fixed seeing as they were going for 200+ gold per lotus on horde side of pagle.

The slam macro nerf always confounded me. Especially in hindsight considering it's EXACTLY HOW SLAM SPEC WORKED later on throughout the middle of WoW's life.

[@danlorett2184]

Not how slam spec worked in TBC, which was pretty much the only slam spec that existed until they made slam instant. In TBC Slam resets your swing timer no matter what, macro or no.

This vid was a scroll down memory lane!

[@rsaman3639]

watching this while farming 300g/h on my bridge

[@UkraineJames2000]

How delightfully devilish

[@1un4cy]

jee and i have trouble getting even 50 a day

[@WillEmmo]

I see no problem here - Blizzard

[@DawkinsTools]

your bridge?

[@hellfire5108]

I never understood why are people farming mobs in dungeons all over again. That is the most boring thing you can do in WoW.

[@bigmeknurgle]

@Brian Ah, name calling. How very grown up of you.

[@graysaltine6035]

Spy was way more broken than that. You could target people by clicking their name entry on the list. As a hunter i targeted a guy in EPL who was at the bottom of a crypt down 3 flights of stairs, completely out of sight. I simply clicked his name on the Spy list and set my pet to attack - watched my pet run into the crypt and ten seconds later he got ganked by broken tooth while fighting mobs. Spy is/was a BS addon that completely ruined wPvP.

[@willfulmisfortune3679]

In refernce to the spy addon and rogues... If you cant see them go into stealth(thus have no idea where they physically are) and just “know” they’re there from a beep, Id like to know how you consider it an advantage? On a pvp sever, if you ain’t playing like a rogue is waiting everywhere to fuck you over at any instant, you’re doing it wrong...

[@xostler]

So what you’re saying is that blizzard needs to nerf mages?

[@brel_]

just wait for the ridiculous aoe cap in tbc :D

[@miothan]

Mages actually could do Landslide farm, with ease, use the ZG buff for +10% movespeed coupled with ice barrier and 40 bandages, mages could do the farm for 2 hours until the elixir ran out.

[@vincentsheppard9599]

You deserve way more subscribers , really great videos bro , o especially loved the series talking about if each class was good or not

[@EdinMike]

I still come across Ruski premades in AV... they don’t win, but they still exist...

[@zergos921221]

They are not premades. I know it seems like it but they have only 3 Russian realms. So there is a chance that you encounter like 30 ppl from the same realm and that leads to the confusion that it's a premade. Also the Russian meta is different and it helps deceive that you are facing a premade

[@thewilltheway]

Late December 2019 1 month after release I don't think that's correct my guy.

[@TheDiscoMole]

That mind control portal shit almost makes me regret quitting early season 2. I woulda spent all day doing that shit and nothing else.

[@1un4cy]

Wait, did they goof and let sitting-crits activate on-crit passives in classic? Because they never did that in vanilla (i remember testing it)

[@ilivdia]

Funny thing: 9 times telling about things, that were present in classic vanilla WoW, and Blizz removed those things only to conclude on place 10 with removing functionality, that were present in original classic WoW (yes, vanilla had even dungeon finder as innkeeper gossip, which worked silly back then and is also not ingame now), decreasing combat log range, even AddOn parsing chat spam is disabled because it s not "spirit of Classic". That just pathetic!

[@kyogery8927]

I been watching your videos for a while now and defiantly nice videos. Your earned a subscriber

[@austinsteiner8318]

Awesome video

[@secrettv8495]

You forgot BRD Lava Run - Torch Farm. Players were levelling from 50 to 60 in 1 afternoon. Was pretty OP

[@Bhez7]

Paladin in my guild was soooo chafed when Blizz nerfed the Landslide farm. Fair enough I guess but what made it funny was that literally a day or two earlier he'd gotten an edgemaster's handguards off those mobs. So he'd already made thousands of gold, not even including the elemental earths, and was seriously considering quitting over not being able to get anything more from infinitely respawning mobs you could afk farm lol
