Insanely Close Hardcore WoW Moments 

@@christophermccutcheon2143 Well in this case it was labelled by Questie or some other addon as being 45 and all other mobs were in that range, but you're right that mobs and quests go yellow when up to 2 levels above your current level.

I did these quests on maybe 20+ characters. I would avoid those quests like these in any case. They are just way too risky and not worth it. As Asmon said: "I value my time too much to play Hardcore"

That's standard in vanilla quests, "bosses" are usually higher level than the quest.

@@heygek2769 Yeah but not 3 levels higher. Those quests are few and far between.

@@Cnith They usually are orange, meaning atleast 3+ lvls higher

Just tell us you’re the hunter

@@azzwoopinXpress Actually I uploaded some clips of my Rogue just today if you wanna check 'em out xx

100% agree If you stand to loose literally dozens or even hundreds of hours of character progress if you die, do you *really* need to save those 10 or 20 minutes per dungeon run trying to skip packs or pulling packs when your group isnt fully ready and in positon yet? getting to 60 in classic hardcore is a marathon, not a sprint.

@@Tralvan Plus dungeon mobs give XP and have a chance to drop BOE blues, recipes etc. I got the 6 second physical immunity potion recipe from Maraudon. If nothing else you should be killing as many enemies as possible.

it's also proof why i will play a rogue in hc-official because i am surely not dying for some randoms fuckups :D

who tf is zack?

The head slap inducer was better

How got so far?

I would say "lucky af" fits him better.

@@Masterwar15 that was "good" at running because he kept run into shit over and over without nameplate, thats what I meant

​@@willianzorzi6026he's a mage

That mage got be one of the worst players i ever see in my wow journey (last 13years)

@@willianzorzi6026 oh for sure man. Shit was a roller coaster thou

fr that laugh was gold

Mostly panic

simply don't like them easy is easy as.

To be fair though, that should be the default setting, you shouldn't need to spend 10 minutes figuring out the options menu and setting up your interface to play the game properly.

@@holysecret2 some people want to be more immersed - less UI Thats why I dont use nameplates. they are clunky (yes they do help you see mobs spawning in)

Main cause of deaths is partying in the first place and suboptimal quest routes. Wtf are people in Silithus? Killing Cliff walkers in Azshara? Entropic beast quest? Trying Bloodsail Buccaneers line as a warrior on HC? Cuergos Gold? STV Fever lol? Messing around with random mind controlling shit in STV.

High skill ceiling

Agree, I played a healer in classic and that used to happen all the time, until I got a reliable tank friend who knew to wait for the healer if he wants to be healed. Not all tanks have learned that lesson. Being slow is better than being dead, especially in hardcore. Im not doing any dungeons on my primary character though, just gonna make steady progress to 60. I’ve got a few alts that I might take the risk with to see first hand how terrifying dungeons are on hardcore.

Looks like he didn't want to aggro them in the first place, but ran in too far to consecrate like it was a thunderclap, instead of just consecrating and letting the mobs he *wanted* to pull walk into it. Some needless min maxing or I wouldn't be surprised if he actually was tanking as a warrior and wanted to try a paladin tank, because he acts like one - using cons like a thunderclap, moving towards the casters as if he had a pummel to interrupt the spell cast - the movement is just like a warrior. A prot paladin or a player who isn't used to certain movements from playing a tank warrior would have just body pulled the mobs, drop cons, activate block and let the mobs run into you. I have seen stuff like that happen often, when people try to play play one class like a different class. But you can't play a prot paladin like a warrior or a warlock like a mage or a ret paladin like a rogue. They are similar, but not the same. That's what some people don't get, when they don't go in with a fresh, open mindset and look at the way the class they play / try actually provides and how it works for the role they play. That's why many paladins are so "bad", because people try to play a ret paladin (for example) like a dps warrior and neglect the abilities that make a ret paladin valuable (like emergency heals, that a warrior doesn't provide) and overemphasize their role as a dps "warrior", when they have no cleave / viable AoE - focusing on things they can't do, but still try to do anyways, and trying to make up for it in weird ways, that don't work.

Retail isn't in a bad state.

This is a post from the past, it lagged for 2 years

Or also shows you how good classic is that 20 years later there’s still fresh content being made.
