Which Version of WoW Should YOU Play In 2024? (there's A LOT of them) | World of Warcraft

There are Shaman tanks in Classic Era, not just in SoD. They have much better tools in SoD, but so does everyone there. I've been in a dungeon with a Shaman tanking on HC a few times, the highest level one being ST. I was a healer for one of those runs (SFK), and the tank definitely took more damage than a warrior or bear would, but it's not a significant problem because leveling content is easy, and while I had stop to drink more, so did the tank, and having to drink 5 times instead of twice in a dungeon is absolutely fine. I didn't heal in ST, so I'm not sure how much of a problem it was there, but I assume it was similar. In terms of threat, Shaman probably have more single target threat generation than the normal tanks (at least against things not immune to nature), and at higher levels when there are larger pulls they have enough tools for AoE threat to keep mobs off the healer, and focusing down targets one at a time should mean the DPS don't need to worry.

The thing about cata and people enjoying the endgame/performance based gameplay is that its just occurred from conditioning classic players into retail and then they'll come back and reminisce about the actual mmorpg feel of vanilla again. Many players on the other hand already dipped out of cata and are back on era, hc or trying to get it out of SoD, which there is a competing audience of retail players who want to turn classic into retail (stupid) vs classic players who want to add new stuff without harming the original game.

[@deorwynn3597]

I've always seen vanilla as the ideal expansion to create communities and make new friends. I've been playing Cata with old friends (my guild) and it's been great. Just requires you to kind of already have the connections. I can imagine playing Cata solo and not feeling very invested. The difficulty and vast amount of mechanics makes it unappealing to more laid back social gamers as well

[@CoNteMpTone]

@@deorwynn3597you Phrased it perfectly. Overall though, just judging the quality of the game itself, vanille does what it was supposed to do. Maybe BC still did. Everything after that just catered to players already involved (mainly). I will always love vanilla above everything else.

Just answering to the first second of the video without hearing the rest You have Vanilla, Cata and Retail Within Vanilla you got Vanilla, Hardcore and Season of Discovery.

I'm no different, because here I am.

[@rabbitOfDemise]

I wish there was just one mode tbh, I’ve played wow for 18 years or so since I was a kid and now when I log in I have analysis paralysis. Retail kind of sucks but it does get new content and it’s the latest so feels more important, but then it feels like a hollow experience. If I play classic, I’ll be leveling and grinding for nothing really because it won’t ever get updated. If I play cataclysm it sucks im not playing tbc or wotk. If I play hardcore, I’m likely just gonna die after 10 hours of play time and feel like ass. It’s like a catch 44

[@RansuLance]

Honestly I'd get back into WoW if they could make it where you could play all of the previous versions constantly instead of just timed like remix. I feel that more of a me thing because I have been a bit spoiled after playing Final Fantasy 14 since it does let you play from the beginning on the game on ward with an optional skip item that can max out a class and skip the story all the way to current.

Most DF systems are irrelevant for gameplay, all the borrowed power has been removed. You seem to be stuck in a shadowlands mentality, when there were many systems and borrowed power.

I mean isn’t that kind of already what it is? Season of Discovery is scheduled to last for about 1 year long total. Cataclysm classic and likely all other classic expansions are planned to last about 1 year as well. They aren’t technically listed as seasonal servers but they with each expansion being a new season.

[@Brewbear313]

In what world is there an argument to be made for cataclysm and not MoP?? I guarantee you MoP is in way more demand that cataclysm. I’d bet the house on that. This is a wild take

[@AkiRa22084]

MoP Remix is great for new players, since it's much simpler.

[@daveboonen5041]

I want to play this never played it. Any suggestions where to start?

[@chekitis9293]

Wanna take it chill (give small amount of time) = Classic Wanna tryhard (wanna give a lot of time) = Retail

[@daveboonen5041]

@@chekitis9293 thanks i joined retail on server doomhammer. Dont have much time tho readed this too late 😅.

Your beard is fantastic

Why is all silent about the great guild bank heist from the pre TWW patch? Thousands lost all their collection for 20 years..

[@quay9115]

So this video for "new players" looks more aimed at veteran players.

[@leahsutter3929]

I always love Vanilla for the simplicity. It was an RPG first, competitively "balanced" game second. I enjoy Retail to, for another reason, the content is clearly better than Vanilla, but it comes with so much burden of knowledge, mechanical skill, and use of complicated addons.

[@anttisaloranta2417]

So ... If you did say something about which version to buy I did not catch it. I played wow maybbe 15-20 years ago.

[@TreySimmons-wy6jo]

Which WoW expansion has the most active PvP battlegrounds Vs least amount of PvP

[@TreySimmons-wy6jo]

I don't want to start a new character on an expansion where the average queue time for wsg is 1 he plus

[@sf3795]

Classic is a cluster F.... SoD is a beta... Cata is classic retail... Classic hardcore is niche... Classic era (

[@clashclash433]

Atm i am playing retail and classic era bought fun in their own ways.

[@SakamuG]

For my part I wait on classic+ and hope for big changes. WoW is not the game we once played anymore.

[@audiofun1]

Beard is looking good Willie

[@CoNteMpTone]

It does indeed

[@Gthomas97]

I’m just afraid playing SOD that when all is said and done our characters will stay on dead sod realms. You think we will just lose gear/runes and go to classic era?

[@t9t9t9t9t9]

Who cares what happens to them, it will be classic+ time

[@wenchesandmead2459]

I've always been really interested in wow, but I am so anxious to get into it because i've heard a lot about the community at endgame. I had a brain injury a few years back so I have issues with rotations etc. Idk, does anyone have any advice for it?

[@YourMateCub]

Dont play with sweats. Tons of videos to learn rotations. Play for yourself, join a social guild instead of a classic "raiding guild". Much more open to teaching and have more time for you. All the best!

[@vetleforseth5660]

Have you started? I played a bit from 2009, but not much so I feel like i missed out. Wanna try Vanilla on a fresh server.

[@wenchesandmead2459]

@@vetleforseth5660 I’ve been playing on whitemane N.A. and the community is wonderful, I absolutely recommend you try it out ^^

[@clobzz]

yeah im very intimidated by it, its an EXTRMELY complicated game and i dont know where even to begin with it, ive tried pvp before and i just get spawn camped idk how tf anyone learns how to play

[@bolindow176]

I'm a Classic Andy, I enjoy Era and Hardcore. It's fine there are choices, but I still enjoy leveling in old Azeroth more than anything else.

[@nemesis656]

You're a what?

[@claing17]

Cata feels flat to me. ill check out SoD p4. im just lvling ever couple days to burn the 2x exp bar.

[@brandonwilson4740]

Its not bad. I started a week late and have been slowly leveling at my own pace and exploring. Im playing a dk for the first time. Kinda cool to go back and solo old raids for xmog. I might raid or I might not. Kinda just waiting for phase 4 of SoD
