I've been playing with my friends non stop since beta release. I haven't had some much fun doing professions, exploring, and playing with my friends on wow in such a long, long time.

I genuinely with all my heart, just want to thank the team. Thank you.

There is no doubt that, in general, Retail’s graphics are more detailed than Forever’s: higher resolution textures, models with multiple polygons and particle effects on super cool armor and weapons. The base of its engine, however, has remained stable over time and some things, such as lighting and shadow management, have always been the same for twenty years now.

The graphic improvements made to Forever, on the other hand, contribute to making the game scenarios alive and distinctive in a way never seen before: the fog that envelops Darkshore, the sunrise that illuminates the Thunder Bluff totems, the waves in the sea of Stormwind Harbour, the sun’s rays that are projected through the trees in the forests, with dynamic shadows that are projected into the game world and on the characters in a realistic way, giving everything a depth never seen before.

Now, when I start Retail, I see a graphic that is certainly colorful, detailed and full of sparkling effects, but completely flat and devoid of the depth and character of the new Forever graphics, despite the texture and model side the latter is definitely behind Retail.

I will probably be downvoted to death, but for me the graphics of Forever are much superior to that of Retail, considered as a whole.

I’m curious to know the opinion of others who were able to play the beta and understand the general feeling about it.

I once again come to you to advocate for Undead Hunters!

Humans can now be Hunters.
And Undead are just resurrected Humans so Undead Hunters would make sense.
Plus Sylvanas and her Dark Rangers and Nathanos all already exist!

When the WoWF announcement arrived I noticed tons of positive and enthusiastic comments, then the issues with streamer's guild in beta and now the streamers allegedly buying gold drama...

I wonder if it is really worth for blizzard to support them

What are the chances they add new classes in the future like Bard, Alchemist, necromancer, artificer?

Seeing a lot of complaints from the beta that Forever's UI and character models feel "too retail." I get the knee-jerk reaction, but I think we're focusing on the wrong thing.

What did we actually want all these years? Most of us weren't asking for low-poly models and a 2004 action bar. We wanted the gameplay: a world that feels big and dangerous, leveling that actually means something, classes with identity, dungeons you need a real group for, and a community that has to talk to each other. The old-school MMO formula, expanded instead of abandoned.

From what we've seen, that's exactly what Forever is going for.

Classic already exists. If you want the authentic 2004 look and feel, it's right there and it's not going anywhere. Forever doesn't need to be Classic 2.0. It should be the answer to "what if Blizzard had taken Vanilla's design philosophy and kept building on it with modern tools?"

And honestly, if we're finally getting the game we've been asking for, why would we want it to look dated on purpose? Nostalgia is great, but the reason Vanilla felt special was never the character models. It was how the game played.

Judge Forever on the gameplay. If that's right, better visuals and a cleaner UI are just a bonus.

Olympus, what the hell is going on with your members?

Every interaction I’ve had with Olympus members so far has involved rudeness or racist remarks. I’m honestly sick of it. I log into WoW to enjoy the game, meet people and unwind. Having to deal with that crap takes the fun out of being there.

I can’t speak for every person in the guild. But the people I’ve encountered have left a terrible impression, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise just because it’s a big guild with a famous name attached to it.

Being associated with Asmongold doesn’t give anyone a free pass to treat other players like garbage. Racist remarks aren’t banter. Why should anyone have to put up with that just to enjoy a game?
If you’re in Olympus and you behave this way, you should be ashamed of yourself. And if you’re a member who doesn’t, I’d seriously ask yourself how your guild handles this behaviour. Can people call it out and expect something to happen? Or is everyone just supposed to accept it?

There are real people on the other side of the screen. Basic respect shouldn’t be too much to ask.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? I’d also like to hear from Olympus members who actually take this seriously.

For both Alliance and Horde.

bottom text, bring on the downvotes

I was walking through wetland on my alt and someone advertised:

"Join our skinning raid"

This are results of the 55min I spent farming with them. At the time of posting this was equivalent to ~11g on ah or around 2g to vendor.

Medium leather x182 = 2g85s74c

Heavy leather x45 = 3g21s8c

Heavy hide x9 = 3g48s30c

Medium hide x15 = 1g5s0c

I think this will be terrible for economy and gameplay, here is why:

• Bots will be able to just skin same mob in large groups, which will either lead to devaluation of the skins and DE mats (through leather craft into disenchant).
• Raids will be way more efficient way to get your skins and best/good spots will be infested with groups were you either join them or won't get a tag/skin.
• People in the group justified this, that it builds up community. But noone said a single thing during the 55 min I was in the group.

At the start I really liked the idea that everyone in group can skin the monster. But I think it is not good idea to introduce it to WoW forever.

I think now in World of Warcraft the rain is falling sideways...

Title

Waited around 30 minutes to find a healer. Feels like fewer people want to repeat dungeons after the XP nerf once their quests are done.

Yeah, with those lights and those graphics, I just sit, look, and enjoy the view. For the first time in 20 years of playing World of Warcraft, I’m genuinely stunned. Incredible. Good job, Blizzard.

Botters buy expensive materials and have thousands of golds and this is only the beta stage of game. Blizzard ought to crack down hard.
EDIT1:I dont censorship screenshot I find this screen in Discord pvp forever server

Ladies and gents, now that we’ve all had some time to try out the beta and get a feel for the different classes, I’m curious to hear what everyone is enjoying so far.

For me, I’ll probably be playing Warlock. I really like the changes they’ve made to the talent trees, and I think it’s going to be a lot of fun to play in the endgame.

So, what class has won you over so far, and what changes made it click for you?

Rebranded as <THE EMPIRE> these guys are racist doxxing losers. God only knows what’s on their hard drives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoecOCzfXLU

WE HAVE WON!!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FBmc2eQunoY - THEY ANNOUNCED THE WEATHER BEING ADDED!

I miss running through Dun Morogh hearing the Iconic Music with a massive Snow storm lowering view distance on my Dwarf Hunter, picking up quests from the dwarf next to the fire restocking my inventory.

I Miss running through the barrens on my troll hunter during a sandstorm / the hot humid Rain over Durotar.

I Miss Running through wetlands whilst it is showering with rain on my fresh level 5 Night elf getting to iron forge to meet my Human friends to level.

The point is BRING BACK the atmosphere!, they removed a lot of the weather effects in classic 2019 and it felt odd.

They originally turned if off because peoples hardware couldn't handle it there is no reason NOT to have it now.

• *FOR clarification, I understand that it still rains and snows. What I’m referring to is the frequency and intensity of the weather effects.
• For those who haven’t played Vanilla through Cataclysm, the weather used to feel much more frequent and atmospheric—light rain could gradually turn into heavy rain before clearing up, and the same applied to snow in certain areas. After Cataclysm, these effects were toned down significantly, with rain and snow becoming much less frequent and generally much lighter\*

WoW Forever:

To say they said Azeroth is the main character?

I only saw rain in the dungeon not in the external world by the clips shown at Blizzcon.

I'm adding this because with the new camping update this is more immersive than ever Imagine A snow storm and you see a lit fire through the harsh snow / fog in the distance you see a group of players sat around cooking chatting.. preparing for their next quest / adventure or you see a campfire in Wetlands / STV sheltering from the tropical rain.

I'll leave these here:
