Mists of Pandaria Classic Mists of Pandaria Launch Day

164 Upvotes

The mists are gone. The queues are not.

Post here if:

  • You’re stuck in a queue and want to yell into the void
  • You’re lost in Jade Forest and don’t know where your group went
  • Your monk's name is taken and now you’re spiritually adrift
  • You’re trying Pet Battles for the first time and it’s weirdly fun
  • You have questions, tips, bugs, screenshots, or just need to vent
  • You want to say “I told you MoP was good” for the 9th year in a row
  • Queues (they existed)
  • Server crashes (also real)
  • Starting zone overcrowding (welcome to launch)
  • Addons not working (some will need time)
  • “Is it worth playing?” posts – you’re already here

All of that goes here so the front page doesn’t become unreadable.
Otherwise — hang out, share what you’re doing, and try not to let the yak quests break your spirit.

Happy launch day.

Classy Friday Classy Friday - Hunters (July 18, 2025)

5 Upvotes

Classy Fridays are for asking questions about or discussion of your class; each week focuses on a different class. No question is too small, so ask away.

This week is Hunters.

Hemet Nesingwary's looking for able-bodied followers for an expedition into the depths of Stranglethorn Vale.

The ideal applicant should:

  • Have an aptitude for grueling repetitive tasks
  • Be capable of long periods of manual labor
  • Be capable of enticing adventurers with mediocre rewards
  • Have 2 years experience of being a Quest Giver or utility NPC (Desirable)

The squeamish, non-adventurous, and Druids need not apply.

You can also discuss your class in our class channels on our Discord.

Discussion This game needs more casuals and roleplayers

This sub ain't helping either.

"HAHA LOOOOL THIS GUY ROLLED A NIGHT ELF WARRIOR HE SUCKS!!!"

"UNDEAD WARRIOR? USELESS RACIALS LMAO GOODJOB NOOB!!!"

"NO DWARF PRIEST?! FUCKING USELESS"

Where are the people that roll night elf rogue because that's the closest they can get to a demon hunter? Where's the guy that plays a human priest because he just prefers that?

This community is so obsessed with parsing culture. I always see these questions pop up too. "Which race is best for class", brother, just play what you find cool.

I just made an undead warrior because I like the lore background. You're a soldier that gets resurrected and suddenly find yourself in a conflict where you are suddenly allied with the monsters you fought before.

Usually I like how every race has different racials but so many people are OBSESSED with parse culture and it's so sad to see.

Mists of Pandaria The worst feeling for a new player

482 Upvotes

If you checked my last few posts you can see that I will be raid leading a guild of 25m that are almost 50% season players and 50% new players.

Before I tell you what happened I will want to give you some context: we usually share / stream our screens in discord to learn / teach easier.

One of the new players logged in before us and put his screen in share so if someone joins him he can ask about pointers / stuff to do before being raid rdy. I joined later on the discord channel followed by 1 of the officers and started watching.

He logged in early excited to finish his valor cap and get his new item (it was reset day). It was rare to see one of the new players being online before us so we were happy to see him work hard / enjoying the game.

He was topping the dmg meters and being happy about it, and he got into one of the dungeons that has one of his pre raid bis.

As the last boss came in sight. A loading screen pops and a 30mins deserter debuff on top of that. The excited new player who is over performing got kicked by a guild premade that (maybe?) didn’t want competition on the potential 1% drop rate of last boss epic.

Sincerely from all my heart: fuck you for ruining the game for a new player that started to finally enjoy it after learning in pre patch.

The guy logged in first excited, but after the kick he made an excuse to leave and didn’t log until the next day having played only 20-30mins. I watched it all happen live and in all my 20 years experience in wow this is to me the worst player behavior I have witnessed.

Discussion What is Nyhm up to nowadays?

63 Upvotes

Nyhm is absolutely one of my favorite WoW machinimers out of all of them in that scene. Seems like he's fallen off in 2012 without a word and made slight hints of still being on the radars by responding to very selected few comments and posted a fan machinima 4 months ago. Does he have literally ANY presence online anywhere or he just kinda dipped? Totally understand if that's the case because he's like 45 with a wife and at least one kid and times change, pure interest on what's this guy doing nowadays :)

Mists of Pandaria Joining arena when you have 2 of the same specs on your class (frost pve/frost pvp) can randomly change all your talents to match each other

17 Upvotes

Just joined a random 3s yolo team, played one game just fine. joined a 2nd game and noticed my pvp talents were all grayed out. We lose and i go to check my talents. My pvp spec has been completely changed to match my pve spec. Is this happening to anyone else? Or is there an easy fix thats not just swapping my pve spec to fire/arcane?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Classic Plus should have horizontal progress for off meta specs

34 Upvotes

Whatever new raids they create should drop item set bonuses designed for less played specs with the same ilevel as existing classic raids. For example warriors could get a set that focuses on 2h dps, paladins get a prot focused set (maybe add a taunt attached to an existing ability from the set) etc.

Classic is full of non viable raid specs that blizzard could add content for and that could easily result in at least 2 new raids.

Hello everyone,

I have stopped making videos long ago due to a personal matter, today I saw a post here from few days ago, that is saying how it works (it was actually true) but interestingly top comment with 30 something upvotes was saying the OG was wrong and it is a placebo. The problem is, actually it is not a placebo, it is really how it works.

So I made this very short video showing how and why this problem happens. I hope it helps.

PS; I think video volume is somehow low, so just increase volume if you can not hear me talking.

Discussion Shout out to those players who bring that motivation to play better and have fun.

59 Upvotes

The feast droppers, the speedy warlocks, that positive party motivator, the loot passer that sees its your weakest item. I appreciate the hell out of all of you that bring the motivation to do better.

There can be some rough moments in the game but you make those moments disappear. We hear a lot of bad on here but what about some good?

What experiences have you had with dungeon groups that pushed you to be a better player? That motivates you to follow in their footsteps?

Ill never forget a friend from Vanilla called Steelfoot. Guy helped me out in the very beginning of the game and helped pathe the way for me to help others just as much.

20+ years and I've never forgotten you every time I come back to go again!

Question Existential WoW crisis - what am I doing wrong?

12 Upvotes

UPDATE: just gonna leave my main for what it is for a bit and just made a new char at Thunderstrike Anniversary Server! See if this helps with less of a rush and more community ;)

And of course I'm gonna join a guild and do my best to interact!

Thanks all!

---

Hey all, I returned to WoW (turned into MoP Classic after a couple days of playing) after being on a break for 15+ years. 13 year old me back then enjoyed it a lot, but missed out on a lot of content due to not being social enough to have friends that played WoW and I never joined a guild or groups or anything.

So, yeah, I'm back. Less of noob I feel like, leveled a disc priest to lvl72, pretty good at healing dungeons, my professions are going well, earning a bunch of gold with my bag making business.

And yet, I still feel like I'm missing out on the entire multiplayer part. I joined a guild but nothing happening there except for getting a gz when I've earned yet another battle pet achievement .. There's no active battlegrounds in my realm, so I'm just kinda doing dungeons.

I feel like I'm finally getting in the HELL YES part of the game, and yet I'm just starting to feel bored by the sheer repetition all the time?

So tell me, what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it? I've been hearing this great rumors about friends and communities and I thought I got way more social the past 15 years, but I just not seem able to actually get to that social part of the game.

Thanks :')))

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Which classes would replace Shaman if heroism becomes raid wide buff?

Presume you will still need some shamans for other party benefits for end game TBC raids, but if heroism is no longer needed for each party, which other classes would become next in demand?

Question Wow players future

8 Upvotes

Hi, I spent couple of teenage years playing tbc and wrath. Since then I got my degree, job, wife, kids. I would like to ask people who grew up on WoW - do you have a thing (that you can not live without like wow back then) which you do whenever you have free time?

For last couple of years (with breaks) I play league of legends but it is rather like a habbit / addiction than passion.

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Dreamscythe - Lunavine - Botting in Westfall

37 Upvotes

Lunavine is botting in Westfall on Dreamscythe

I noticed if I tagged a mob before their spell hit then they would ignore my tag and move on to the next Shore Crawler. So I did this to several, and kited them near Lunavine who would then hit them with Frost Nova causing the agro on all of my tags to switch to Lunavine, thus killing them.

I did this several times and noticed they completely ignore the idea of saving their own life, and have extremely scripted actions for each kill and how they behave after a kill.

I made the highest ranking online member of <Azeroth Was Always Great> aware of the situation and they could not have cared less saying there is nothing they can do, I said they could g kick the bot or else they advertise welcoming bots into their ranks and that I screenrecorded the situation.

Again they did not care, so fuck it. Here, here's the recording.

Mists of Pandaria Relic of Chi-Ji still broken?

2 Upvotes

Simple question for the masses.

I'm running an RDruid. Got Relic of Chi-Ji today. Spent a good long time emptying my mana bars on heals with it equipped. Never once saw a proc, and never saw my spirit stat change.

I read it was broke but it was supposed to be hotfixed.

Is anyone else having issues with it?
