The only MMO that keeps me wanting to play it these days is EVE.
Isn't that the game where you can spend like hundreds of dollars on a ship, just to have some cheeky fuck blow it up permanently? Quote from: LC on August 11, 2016, 04:17:29 PMThe only MMO that keeps me wanting to play it these days is EVE.
I'm incredibly burned out on FFXIV right now so I picked up WoW the last couple of days. Noticed some thing in comparison to FFXIV since XIV is literally just a FF themed WoW clone: >Leveling is boring as fuck. Started as a human mage, got to level 8 before the game started to lose my attention. Questing is kind of clunky in comparison to XIV so everything in that regard seems like a chore. Friend suggested a start as a Death Knight since it will instantly get me to lvl 50 and upon finishing the tutorial (which was very hands on and interactive) I entered the main world at lvl 58. >Game kind of throws away old content. I'm lvl 59 right now and I wanted to started doing the classic and Burning Crusade dungeons and raids, however I have no way of "queueing" for these in the dungeon finder. Dungeon Finder only lets me queue for dungeons in my lvl range which at the moment is only Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace for BC and for classic I just get Sunken Temple, Upper City - Blackrock Depths, and Lower Blackrock Spire. Since I'm playing catch up with 11+ years on content I'm very overwhelmed on what to do or where to go. And because there's so much to do I start to lose interest if I spend too much time in one spot. The game suggested I go to Hellfire Peninsula in the Outlands for leveling but since questing is boring I'm left to do dungeons to keep interest which wouldn't be bad if I simply knew what I was doing or what would be beneficial to the group as to what my contribution as a DPS is. If anyone can give me insight into these things that would be much appreciated. WoWpedia doesn't really answer my questions and r/WoW just tells me to keep questing....
If you don't enjoy questing through zones... Well, that's half the game lol. Find a starting area you think you'd like and go there. I wouldn't advise using the dungeon finder much while you level, because it will just level you up too fast. If you want to do those old dungeons on your current character, look up the location. You'll have to walk there. Only do the low levels ones though. By 70 you should be able to solo all the classic ones, no problem.
When I get there will it put me in a queue for the instance? Quote from: Josh55886 on August 11, 2016, 07:23:55 PMIf you don't enjoy questing through zones... Well, that's half the game lol.

Also, because I got WoD, I have a free level boost to 100. Should I ever consider that?
So there's a grouping system for raids? I would really like to experience Icecrown Citadel but I don't want to go and waste time looking for other players to run it.
Yeah, LFD was added in Wrath. LFR added in Cataclysm. And they further added a sort of party finder system in Warlords I think. So you can run any of the current Warlords raids in LFR if you have a high enough ilvl. For old raids, you either have to run to the entrance yourself and solo them, or look for a group under Legacy Raids tabs. It will have a list of all groups looking for people. Now if you use LFR or LFD, it's different. It's like the Duty Finder. You just wait, and it pops you in. But like I said, that's only for current content. LFR that is.
So in the group finder tab I see Dungeon Finder, Scenarios, Raid Finder, and Premade groups. I'm guessing that's LFD/LFR?

Yep. Premade groups is where you'll find people running old content. Usually for achievements or mounts. Or transmog.
What's Transmog? And under Premade it says "Raids - Classic" does the classic mean anything? Quote from: Josh55886 on August 11, 2016, 08:09:58 PMYep. Premade groups is where you'll find people running old content. Usually for achievements or mounts. Or transmog.
Transmog is making an item you have look like another one. Basically if you like the looks of some weapon, maybe an older one, you can make it look like it, while still keeping the stats of the original. And the classic raids are the raids from the original game.
So the raids between what is current and Vanilla WoW aren't to be used in the Premade search? Where would I go to get a group for Icecrown Citadel in WoTLK?

You can find any raid ever made in Premade groups. If there's a group on your server running it.
Why did they remove 40 mans? And why wouldn't they let you queue for older content? That seems more streamlined than waiting for others to notice your Premade Ad.

Not sure why they took away 40 mans. And as far as a dungeon and raid finder. In a way it hurts the game, a lot of people don't want them. It took away the social aspect of the game. Why run around or even talk to anyone, or do quests to learn about the raid/dungeon, when you can just be teleported there, faceroll through it without talking to anyone and move on?
Just got out of Slave Pens through DF, I see what you mean. However would the community really care considering I'm looking at Premade right now and there's just groups for tackling Legion Invasions. Maybe it's just a bad time considering Legion is right around the corner, but should I expect old raids to still be in the Premade group finder more often than not? No one does Coil in XIV regardless of PF or DF....Quote from: Josh55886 on August 11, 2016, 08:49:29 PMNot sure why they took away 40 mans. And as far as a dungeon and raid finder.
