[@Fireluigi1]

Thanks for making these videos. Good way to prepare for that TBC even if it is a loong way before it launches. But the closer the launch comes, the more ppl will need these videos x3

[@MiceDnP]

This was some good stuff mate. Even something original not seen before like with soulcloth! Props to you!

[@Hammerage1]

If there's something we've learned from Classic it should be that we shouldn't be in a hurry to reach lvl 70 and start raiding. Enjoy it, don't rush through and burn out after a month.

[@Cruor34]

Uh that's exactly the wrong lesson. Leveling is awful, I want it done asap and then I can get into the real content, end game pvp and raiding.

[@Cruor34]

@Joe Dirt lol kid. I got rank 14 and cleared Naxx in real Vanilla. What did you do? level 7 characters to 30 and smell the roses? Some people, (actually most people playing Classic) play for end game. Leveling sucks. Lets take Warrior. No MS/BT till 40, no WW till 36, no hit gear, you find auto attacking and missing fun? Good for you, I don't. Now, having DEoI or MoM and killing clothies/leather weaers in 3 hits? That's fun. End game raids are fun. Leveling was made MORE fun in Cata because get this: you actually had a few buttons to press early on, so if anything, I'm in the right place, and you are in the wrong place.

[@Cruor34]

@Joe Dirt Give me a time and Ill log into retail and show you my Vanilla gear. I know you won't. I'm 40 for the record, and I hate kids. This is a game for old men. They can go play Fortnight. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3eboX-Jo95-oqM Who do you think the warrior is in that first clip? Name look familiar to you?

[@SinerAthin]

In short; level by dungeon spamming - You avoid the super-competitive outdoor that'll be flooded. Which will be even worse on PvP servers. - You get the reputations that you'll be needing for when you're level 70. - It's a very decent, but most importantly; RELIABLE; source of XP.

Great watch through before TBC

[@CraverYT]

It's surprising and a little sad to hear people recommend dungeon grinding for Classic TBC. So many people described "the journey" as a big part of the joy of Classic. TBC zones/quests are fantastic; I'm looking forward to experiencing them again. Yeah there's a lot to do at lv70, and yeah for some people "fun" will be a race to world-first Vashj/Kael/Illidan/Archimonde. But it makes me sad to see so many creators reinforcing "optimal" playstyle over a more organic/nostalgic experience.

[@TeddyBearAssassin]

Personally I still plan to have a nice, nostalgic levelling experience on an alt. But on launch day? Classic servers are 3 times larger (some even higher) than vanilla servers were. Blizzard will have to introduce layering again and more than they ever did before to handle the 7000-9000 people flooding into the Dark Portal. I'm going to dungeon grind with guild mates and randos until I'm max level to skip all of that nonsense because I value my time and sanity.

[@gillisorneborg6180]

@@TeddyBearAssassin This exactly. Perhaps if you can get ahead of the pack in to Zangarmarsh you'll be able to quest, but hellfire is gonna be such a bottleneck that dungeon grinding will probably be mandatory upon launch. On the bright side this leaves the questing experience intact to level an alt when things have settled down.

[@TeddyBearAssassin]

@@gillisorneborg6180 I think Zangarmarsh is unfortunately also going to be horrible because lots of people also have the same idea to skip straight to it.

[@Gomcio]

It was a jurney when you had 15players in SV quedtiong instead of 250fighting for 1 mob. Most of streamers picked dungeons so they wont get griffed. In the same time its consistent exp. Most if players already lvled many characters, they dont care about jurney any more.

[@TheDanishBully]

@@TeddyBearAssassin this is what i dislike - i think they should make a limit on each server to X k - and then a 50/50. The layering sucked so much add.

@@Mistersheeaun Soul essence is a crafting reagent dropped from ghosts in Kara. You mix those with netherweave cloth to make Soulcloth which you can craft into armor, DE the armor and profit on the void crystal.

[@kirarozu]

You can farm rep and level at the same time while also rushing to 70. Also, rep is easier to farm in dungeons when you can literally destroy them at 70. dungeon spamming will most likely be faster.

I am not sure if I would go aldor for the chest, the mech chest tends to be better. It has less defence, but it has more stamina and both paladins and warriors can get defence and mitigation cap easily without the aldor chest.

[@Gomcio]

In TBC i always run dungrons first to get honored, the only expectation was Hellfire for example thralmar rep, since quests gives good startung gear. Why i did that? Cuz if you get honored then normals wont give you rep anymore apart lvl 70 normals ofc, but you can do faction quests on every single map and boost your rep over honored. In the same time when you are lvl70 you are getting alot of gold instead of exp. Im always trying to save as many quests as i can, so while waiting for dung group im questing. Its much better gold method than farming mats on crowded spots, especially on pvp servers

[@MudmisfitzATV]

I've never been on a private server I'm trying to understand the difference and why should I play on a private TBC server besides the idea of playing TBC

[@Ch40zz]

People obviously played on a pserver until now because you couldn't play the game any other way for 15 years. IMO it could still make some sense to go pserver now because they MIGHT have less bots and less toxic people. The community on a pserver might feel a bit more "real" but that totally depends on the server.

I’m gonna go ahead and stop you right away: getting to 70 as fast as you can will make grinding reps faster and you’ll save loads of time in the long run. Yes, get rep along the way as best you can but don’t hamstring your leveling to do so.
