Felt overwhelmed and this video made it easier to follow along and start learning the basics to build up from. Good stuff.

[@aroundazief]

Perfect, this is the video I was looking for before jumping in the adventure

[@funsterkeyven]

Came back to ascension after about 1+ year. Massive difference. It felt kinda half assed before but now it almost feels like a proper AAA game. Just... Wow

[@ZcriptureZ]

That's good to know. I've only been playing for a month so I guess I got lucky getting into it now.

[@Nurk0m0rath]

WoW indeed... :P I just found this server like a couple of days ago and honestly, I think it's better than the official version.

[@Unclebillyr]

Thanks for the video. Watching this as the game downloads.

[@Nurk0m0rath]

Not gonna lie, I would've called that build Chicken Little. Because it's all about the sky falling.

[@kylebarnum9239]

I do recommend... listen after he just said archimondey

[@braqudark6217]

Great video! One correction and it isn't even major lol: You said this is what you wish retail was like in terms of scaled dungeons rewarding all level players involved (aside from those high enough level to be in the current end game content obviously). Well, retail has been like that for quite a few years actually.

[@ZcriptureZ]

You're right. Glad you liked the video

[@thespacebat]

I miss WoW and I don't really like modern wow or want to pay for it, and the new mechanics in this server sound so much. I'm excited to try it

[@thespacebat]

I think I'm going to mix druid, mage, and hunter

[@skylersmall6322]

I love it more than retail WoW. I have an arms warrior rogue build that is amazing.

[@Creohan]

awesome video! this needs more views! 1 question: what about racials ?

[@ZcriptureZ]

Glad you liked it. TBH I never thought about racials, I just pick whatever.

[@DotHackish]

I do not recommend new players playing OG classes.. at all. ever. the game is meant to be played classless.

[@sosbabe2804]

Started playing 2 days ago. Figured this out the hard way at level 25 shaman when I extracted a legendary enchant I couldn’t even use it.

[@ziadidabde3662]

​@@sosbabe2804its free ?

[@anorouch]

Is it possible to pretend? Like roll a mostly 2h fury warrior, or mostly frost mage?

[@OMIEntertainment]

​@@anorouch that's my goal

[@BMathiesen]

can you play it like normal vanilla wow if you wanted to? or is it only a classless system and such? i cant afford the subscription right now but am DIEING to get back into some Classic WoW

[@ZcriptureZ]

Yes you can. If you log in right now we have Access to the normal classes as well as classless on Archimonde.

[@littlefordy]

I’d strongly recommend maybe playing around abit in here..but like me..wait for Duskhaven relaunch, it’s a vanillla+ server with a huge amount of QoL , m+ custom raids etc

[@javierbelmonte5615]

How did you get the quest tracker. When I enter the server, there's nothing to track the quests. The launcher offers you an addon I don't really like because its very poor and not good looking. I would like to use yours. Thanks in advance

[@ZcriptureZ]

I'm using the same add-ons available in the launcher. The quest thing is called Questie, and the UI is ELVUI.

[@Kyusoath]

He calls the league server a seasonal server. the league server is/was little more than a test of new content for the seasonal server and area 52 server. telling people to start on a server that you can't even properly identify and is now merged with the other servers anyway is silly, anyone one watching this now will be confused by that servers non existence. You should start and play on Area 52. when you understand the game then you can try the awful 'challenge' of the draft mode seasonal server where you can be a gambling addict grinding to get a chance at the actual skill you want. The only reason to play on the seasonal server is to get the seasonal rewards for the real server, area 52. Advice to new players : just start on area 52.

[@littlefordy]

That was my first exact thought when I started listening

[@alejandrojimenez1685]

Wait, un your videos I saw you using the hook that outlaw rogues have got movility AFTER Legion. So, are there custom spells or from newer expansions?

[@ZcriptureZ]

Yes, there are also some PvP maps that are from different expansions too.

[@married-a_crazychickenlady]

My Beastmaster Feral Druid has been fun but i want to make a healer next cause DF insta queues.

[@ostrakrewetka7604]

what about archimonde realm right now? Is there gonna be a new one?

[@BamaChad-W4CHD]

I played WoW from beta until after WotLK. I recently saw an ad for this and thought, why not. This free class thing is very interesting. I keep thinking about a Paladin that can pop some quick insta damage spells...how different the game will feel. I always loved the paladin but just sitting there swinging on and on to kill pve stuff was so tedious! I guess after it fonoshes downloading I will see what up lol. Luckily it looks like the game download will take almost exactly as long as this video length! Edit...nope the game download only took 16 minutes lol

[@gavin4451]

I tried the maelstrom weapons with charge and victory rush - you just run throuhg everything

[@CosmicCleric]

Think you glossed over the whole pvp thing a bit there. If you use one of the 'build draft' hero classes you'll get easily facestomped by those who instead used free pick to build their hero. To be fair, PvP was fun as long as you didn't run into one of those min/maxers.

[@NicknackPaddywack-mx4xn]

Why am I not given the normal WoW classes as options like in the video??? I'm only able to customize my character and go. Did something change within these 11 months or???

[@rafaelmoss1596]

Awesome vid for beginners

[@ZcriptureZ]

Glad you liked it

[@ray00skunk]

Is this playable on the steam deck? If so can you show us how please.

[@Vantriliquin]

Do you need subscription to play this?

[@rickyozenbaugh6789]

Arch one isn’t there must be a paid only thing? Also new to it and screw the old classes

[@littlefordy]

Archimond was League not Season..Thrall is the season server..leagues last like 3 months .or until the seasonal progresses into the next expansion

[@asandberg6]

cross faction? PVP?

[@aleksandartodorov3031]

can some1 in here help me plz? i downlaoded clinet and run game but i cant login or make chr on archionde league 4? i dotn aeven have that as an option. i only have thrall season 8 and area 52 free pick. so can any1 tell me plz what i have to do so i can play league 4 on archimonde?

[@ZcriptureZ]

League 4 ended two weeks ago. Go on Area 52 instead

[@anthonyfereno6538]

Downloading and playing this wouldn't cause any legal trouble with blizz?

[@IH8KWEERZ8070]

Who cares

[@Kaman241]

What realm to choose for long time play?

[@ZcriptureZ]

Area 52

[@Harni891]

@@ZcriptureZ NO dont play classes, play draft! 100 times better! And its where people are!

[@koreanzombie6697]

archimonde is not available anymore, where should i play then?

[@ZcriptureZ]

Area 52

[@littlefordy]

Free pick a52…Seasonal thrall..thrall is more populated..a52 is free pick but further progressed…try both and see how you feel, don’t let someone pick for you

[@stabbathtv]

well, i started on area 52 and have maxed my character slots. why start on a seasonal server? What is the benefit?

[@tomclanc631]

don't you still need to pay a subscription fee?

[@jacobjenkins5461]

It's pronounced Ar Kim On D Yes, my nerd is showing, my wife reminds me all the time

[@AsRaTCW]

i don't have the ability to choose a class, i don't like hero it's too confusing

[@ZcriptureZ]

Apparently it was only something that was offered during the season. The only other option is to avoid grabbing abilities from all classes but TBH you are probably better off playing on a different private server like Turtle WoW, Stormforge, or Warmane.

[@arwan33]

where is the link for the server? ;w;

[@ZcriptureZ]

ascension.gg/

[@arwan33]

@@ZcriptureZ thanks

[@nomore7285]

As a wow noob draft is good

[@RavenCroftLoft]

So what you dont level at all?

[@ZcriptureZ]

Yes, It's the same as regular WoW

[@kylejohns2288]

just saw an add for this on KZbin they're spending some money now

[@bigmike9486]

Okay but can I play on steamdeck if so how?

[@ZcriptureZ]

Idk check out their discord

[@herbertguate8934]

how does it wrok? do I need to buy wow and than download this or no. This looks interesting, but I'm still confused

[@ZcriptureZ]

No, you download it straight from Ascension's website. This is nothing to do with the official Blizzard game.

[@haszun7146]

Its fun till u understand that There are are few Builds who are top and other are shit. Pvp is dumb Then 1v1 duels arena are about who make more dmg in 15s(thats how fights last most time) pve is little easier but still after playing ascension from season 3 i pass it about half year ago because its all the same each season u got many spells to take and talents but still to be good you just copy paste specs

[@jakobborghus4689]

All games are basically like this. Either you a meta-slave or you build for fun

[@guscunnilin]

How long before Blizzard shuts it down?

[@ZcriptureZ]

Servers have been up for 8 years

[@IH8KWEERZ8070]

Blizzard doesn't need to shut this down

[@monksoup669]

Pretty sure you have to buy access to archimondae

[@ZcriptureZ]

you don't

[@justryanism]

why cant blizzard shut this down? im confused.

[@ZcriptureZ]

Apparently they don't bother because it doesn't hurt their bottom line. Also since these servers host "old outdated content" it's not a big deal to them.

[@goodluckkozymusicgaming6005]

do i need a wow subsscription to play this??

[@ZcriptureZ]

No

[@MrJamedawg]

Archimonde lol so u know is pronounced "Ark-mond" kinda like that

[@kingpeakin9995]

Arch-Mommy

[@federicocapriotti2180]

suggested talents doesnt appear for me, archimonde, free pick no build draft just free pick

[@was2keta3ab37]

Reminds me a bit of poe

[@Cirathos]

This is what WoW should have been after WOTLK.

[@CrissTRG]

but if everyone is a god where is the balance?

[@Cirathos]

This is designed for those that have spent years in the game. It's a breath of fresh air, as opposed to those just learning, would be like swallowing a tornado.

[@skitzy47]

Ark EH mond

[@dragongrandmaster]

if you are new to wow this server is not for you

[@ZcriptureZ]

I was new to WoW when I played on it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@user-uc7xx3ix4f]

Isn't this illegal asf?

[@hellseeker5012]

no ty i rather pay for legit normal wow

[@essillius]

Good 4 u

[@Trash-O-Negative]

I've never played World of Warcraft, but I've been considering paying for a subscription and playing classic wow. Just wondering, what is your opinion as to why a paid subscription is the best option as opposed to playing this community project for free?

[@mgamesmgames8661]

Ascension is Unbalanced Garbage

[@turinhorse]

Heres the only beginners guide you need - stop and cancel the installation. youre welcome

[@ZcriptureZ]

Yes, follow these directions if you'll rather spend $15 bucks a month for a lesser version of WoW from your corporate overlords.

[@turinhorse]

@@ZcriptureZ I'm sure everyone seems like an Overlord to you. #peasantlife And of course there are 100 better private servers to choose from. you're new to the scene huh

[@bvbxiong5791]

Imagine making a WoW guide and not knowing how to pronounce Archimonde...

[@ZcriptureZ]

Imagine commenting on a video to bring nothing of value to the comment section.

[@frenchguyosrs1179]

its a game only for wow player, newcomer dont try u will delete the game very fast.
