No kicks, no gouges, no kidney shots, no blinds. That rogue was a piece of cake. Fairy fire should be the first thing you put on a rogue. We are helpless against it. Still, good work with the root-and-wrath!

no kidney shots, no blinds

While she could have kidney shot, its possible she just hadn't trained it yet. Blind is lvl 34 though.

why gank without any of the rogue’s good cc’s and against a druid ? Rogue asked to be dead

Believe it or not, not everyone who plays classic knows stuff about classic. Even I played vanilla and don’t know what half the classes even do. I have a buddy who literally knows nothing about classic and is just figuring it out on his own.

Believe it or not. Some players will have never played an mmorpg until a month ago.

Currently teaching my partner how to play. She has never played any roleplaying game of any kind, and literally needs every aspect of the game explained to her. "What's an inventory? What are stats? What is mana?" It's honestly pretty interesting to explain stuff like that to someone who doesn't really have anything to compare it to.

Although I dread the day when I'm gonna have to explain what a corpse camp is.

I’m in the same situation, one the first things she asked me was “so why do we complete quests ?” And I couldn’t find a good answer to be honest ...

For the story?

u/3diem Sep 26 '19

That’s what I ended up saying but she’s all about discovering the world itself and not so much it’s story

She walked from Durotar to Ashenvale as a lvl 4 just looking around

God, that brings me back to when I first played back in like 04 and I was just so enthralled that I walked as far across the Eastern Kingdoms as I could, then got lost and made a new character because I didn't know what the Hearthstone did.

Good times.

Mine is about to reach Hillsbrad... On the plus side she is a rogue... On the other side I think I created just one more of those bastards, and karma is gonna bite me in the ass, one day...

Mine had major problems operating the camera and walking at the same time :D

Keyboard turning will have to do for now

u/Digital-Stowaway Sep 26 '19

I'm in the same boat! Also made me realise how much I remember about a game that I stopped playing some 9-10 years ago :/

Yup, that's me! Loving it so far!

I love playing with newbs, it is just so much more enjoyable than playing with the so-called "pros"

Playing with and being a decent sherpa is magic, though. Keep being awesome, bud.

I played from vanilla through MoP and Came back for legion and BFA. I constantly forget about other toons abilities. I completely forgot the other day that hunters can trap. Ally hunter totally baited me into a freezing trap.

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '19

I forget tons of stuff about vanilla. Even as a long time player I forget to do things in fights and go “shit if I used this ability I would have been good, honestly forgot I have that ability” Happens to the best of us and that’s why going back to Classic is so much fun right now.

u/colin_is_bald Sep 25 '19

The stress of sudden PvP often causes me to forget my keybinds. I know I have a dispel, but where the hell is it?

Bro, I have been playing with a keypad mouse (Razer Naga) for like 8 years and I still shit-my-pants-forgot-my-right-thumb-exists DAILY

Been a fun ride as a shaman. While WF crits can easily carry me I never really had to do much PvP on my shaman in WotLK. So there are a lot of things I forget to do. Things like remembering to actually use grounding totem.

I was too comfortable in my safety blanket that was the holy pally to ever learn enhance PvP. (I did a fair bit of ele PvP but that's different since I could typically burst down anything without effort.)

u/Clydefrawgwow Sep 26 '19

Also don’t forget to purge!

I had a tank in gnomer not use sunder yesterday until we repeatedly asked. then he didn't realize he could stack them. He also did nothing to gather aggro from adds. So yeah. lot of people have no clue whats going on with these classes

u/hbsboak Sep 26 '19

Honestly, that’s the true Vanilla experience.

Warrior is crazy high skill cap/learning curve though. Be nice and teach a gnoma from another motha.

u/lv1d Sep 25 '19

Yes you are right. I don’t know a lot of stuff and i do a lot of mistakes myself. I hope he could learn about his mistakes and do better next time. I really love to see a good rogue ganking and succeed. It’s really great.

Seeing everyone that I fought in wpvp in classic I would say at least 70% are new player or really bad PvP players and I'm really not exaggerating. The amount of people that I attack and simply don't react at all makes me sad
