WoW TBC server

[Karafa]

https://www.worldofcorecraft.com/

Beta releasing soon, been watching it for a while. Everything is properly scripted from what we've seen with videos, professional staff team on the forums. Optional instant level 58 after a 1 hour-ish quest, with 58-70 being 1x exp. Content stays pre-nerf; no donation items, and most importantly - the server has a substantial amount of hype.

Hope to see a few people from p99 toying around with it when it releases!

My faith in emulators is waning, too much potential for corruption...good luck anyone trying it though - if its solid after 6 months I might take a look :)

[Noselacri]

Corecraft looks legit. It's basically the P99 of WoW.

[Ephirith]

I wonder how they decide which patch to pick, when WoW's class balance was so capricious and cyclical.

Lots of garbage specs during that time. People didn't like to bring hybrid dps into heroics. SL/SL warlocks, mace stun, healer invincibility, etc. Fun era :p

[Nihilist_santa]

Meh Space Orcs, I hated that expansion.

[Anesthia]

This sounds moderately amusing.

How is this compared to Feenix TBC? (The 14x rate kills it for me.)

[Hitchens]

Would definitely play this. Had a lot of fun during Burning Crusade, by far my favorite expansion.

[katrik]

Ugh.. cmon. Shouldnt be an instant 58, classic rates.. blahhh.. such a turn off.

[Anderdale]

Never played wow. what would this be like for a completely new player? played pretty much every other mmo.

Good point...I think it was at the end of vanilla but shamans were no longer allowed to use 2h axes/maces. But np guys np... you can put a fucking dagger in EACH HAND and STABSTABSTABSTBSASATBSTAB....

...because that made shamans more like shamans, right? That was my class, they fucked us up pretty good, and the enhancement tree became a joke.

Loved TBC, I will deff check it out....hate the instant lvl 58 idea. lets us grind as noobs for a few weeks for continuities sake !

[HeallunRumblebelly]

Apparently you can also donate for rare items on this server. 0 integrity. Dead to me.

[Auvdar]

Blood Elf Retadin... again.. :(

Might check this one out.

Bear Mounts $40

[Auvdar]

To be fair all those are just cosmetic fun things and 2 mounts.. Unless I am missing a page.

As long as raid gear / stuff you really care about in the long run aren't buyable, it's ok. And if it keeps the server a live too.

Only problem I see is them doing this and Blizzard taking them to court. To me it gives extra reason for the server to just get squashed real fast at any time.

I see the point after I read their FAQ. They openly admit that vanilla stuff isn't working like it should be in TBC, but there focus is soley on TBC content. Said that in the future they will work on old content (maybe even open a vanilla server), but for now the focus is on TBC. Which would put people at lvl 58 to really start on the content anyway.

Sucks you get insta-bumped to it, but I think it's better than having to deal with broken/missing content.

Yeah I hadn't seen the actual market. Just heard about buying things, assumed gear. Assuming it just stays to cosmetic BS I give 0 fucks. May have hope for this server yet. Also, starting at 58, so close to my precious steady shot... :3

Yeaaahh.. nope.

[Karafa]

So much of your information is wrong, from everybody.

Everything donation is cosmetic, the 2 mounts as well don't give you epic riding skill in game, it still has to be farmed. It's a private server, the mount you sit on in Shat is so important.

It's optional 58, with a lengthy quest line involved to even get that instant 58.

There seems to be a solid player base that will try out going from 1, but just like The Rebirth or Quality Gaming, any server that seems to start you from 1 with increased rates or not fails. Optional 58 allows a continuous flow to the end game. Private servers, WoW especially, have an extremely high turn over/burn out rate.

This does have the hype to be the first TBC server that has a large enough population to fully support a 3's Arena team. It's scripted, unlike Feenix, and those 40$ bear mounts are going to pay for solid DDoS protection.

[SamwiseRed]

vanilla wow was the best, tbc was good but arenas were dumb and killed world pvp. the old honor system was the best part about wow.

[Karafa]

This server is actually putting a system in place that is going to let you earn ranks the way you did in Vanilla during TBC. It won't effect anything other than the title you earn (unless you do reach r14 and buy that gear for cosmetic looks), but it is nice that they compromised that negative part of TBC to some extent.

That's a draw to me, I was a Warlord on my server...didn't want to put another 3-4 weeks getting High Warlord so had to be content with the armor set and no tasty weapon :(

The old ladder system certainly rewarded time investment over skill however, but as a shaman it wasn't too hard (in a knowledgable team) to carry at least 1 of the 3 flags to ultimate victory each game in WSG :)

Interested to see if they'll patch the boots that gave shamans/druids +40% movement speed for that purpose while in wolf/cheetah form.

[Noselacri]

I've played on a fair few private WoW servers and this looks by far the most promising. They have a dedicated dev team currently going through all the content, testing it and restoring it to pre-nerf conditions. This will be a very serious and well-supported server, very likely the best in the history of WoW emus.

I shrink I might play dis

[TWDL_Prexus]

Was never interested in any of the WoW Emus. This one seems interesting to me. How are warlocks during this time period? I enjoyed playing one in CB/OB but never bought the game after.

[Noselacri]

Best ranged DPS.

Totally rape in PvP if you're geared... death coil... ugh!

[Auvdar]

Can't remember if ret paladins were great at this era, or just "Better than what they were". I know they got pretty good later on (either end of TBC or in WotLK).

[snwbrdr642]

Beta releasing soon!

I really don't think soon is the correct term.

Ret paladins are garbo the entire expansion, they are only brought in on a few T6 fights to keep seals refreshed with crusader strike. Even at that point they're never considered necessary.

Ret isn't a thing until wraith. Same with boomkins.

[Karafa]

Ret is viable, but not so much to those who want to min max. Warlocks are extremely strong in TBC as well.

Beta by the end of next month mark my words!

Ret was not viable until 3.0; it was a pretty poor spec for the entire expansion. But when 3.0 dropped it was the most overpowered spec WoW has ever seen--for a short while, and it slowly tapered off in power as Wrath progressed.

TBC was a bad time for paladins in general in pvp. Holy paladins were too easy to control, and prot didn't have the kind of gimmicks it was given in Wrath. Even in PvE Holy was kind of disappointing for anything other than brute force main-tank healing efficiency.

Play DF:UW if you want real PvP.

edit: My bad, vanilla WoW is actually pretty decent. I was drunk at the time of the original post. :(

Nihilum had Paladin's off-tanking up to and through BT. S3/S4 Arena was dominated by Prot Paladins in Holy gear partnered with a Prot Warrior, and Ret dps is no where near as poor as you're portraying it to be in this era.

[Noselacri]

Ret DPS is pretty horrible in TBC. If you have great gear, are very skilled and work absurdly hard, you can just exactly reach the level of the worst geared/skilled/half-assing people playing actual DPS classes. On top of this, a ret paladin brings almost nothing that a prot and a couple of holy paladins don't cover, both of which should be present in almost all raids. To make matters worse, ret is barely viable for alliance since your DPS drops by like 20% if you don't have Seal of Blood.

Ret did great in 3.3. Never had any problems with ret dps in ICC. It was terrible in ulduar / ToC, though.

edit: and yeah, ret was a charity case in TBC. Sometimes you had one but not because you needed one, lol.

[Kassel]

I recall pallies near the end of the expansion being buffed significantly. We rolled prot pally for Hyjal and he was SOO OP. I also recall my rogue getting a ret paly for group buffs.

MY fav part of TBC was GROUP buff instead of RAID buffs. it actually mattered how your leader set up your group.

[SamwiseRed]

Vanilla wow was the best because it was a piece of shit in a time when everything else was an inferior piece of shit. Go play DF:UW if you want real PvP.

id try it, isnt it still in beta tho? from the videos it kinda reminds me of dark souls (which i still play because the pvp is awesome.)

[SamwiseRed]

oh also not sure if my computer can handle dark fall. well see.

Unholy Wars is soooooooooo bad. You would have more fun punching yourself in the dick till you passed out.
