WoW Classic is such a solved problem that Hardcore is the last great challenge for people to throw themselves at I wouldn't do it, but I can understand why some would

loquacius posted:I actually quite enjoyed the dungeons but I agree it dealt with the plot being nonlinear in basically the worst way possible (eg by having every sage show you basically the same interminable cutscene). Should have gated you from getting the Master Sword and finishing the Geoglyphs sidequest until it made sense to learn that stuff in the storyline too imo The fire temple wasn't bad - there were some puzzles that were novel - but the water/lightning ones were very tedious to me. I haven't finished the game yet but the underworld was my favorite part. The whole game could've just been an infinite underworld stringing along new gadgets and finding eyes for demonic statues and i woulda been fine with that

I liked the atmosphere in the Lightning Temple enough to make up for the rest of it, but I do agree the Water Temple was not strong. The lightning islands were a huge pain too. I eventually just dressed Link up in a rubber gimp suit so he could just get repeatedly struck by lightning and not even notice

if you have the classicish era wow itch and especially for hardcore i'd recommend taking a look at project ascension. it's extremely insane but it's the one way the hardcore classic wow leveling experience stays cool and fresh. also it's some weird classless deckbuilding poo poo. somehow it works

The time for official classic wow is over. The tourist aspect of launch, where 100,000 middle age nerds chased their quarterlife crisis, and the ensuing COVID summer lockdown are long over. Just play on a private server like a normal person. Don't pay money for the old dead gay game.

The other sages can help you fly farther, or let you fire a giant boulder(man) from literally any vehicle you step into, or let you strike poo poo with loving lightning when you shoot arrows, or give you a giant robot that follows you around wrecking poo poo and also lets you ride it, but the Water Sage lets you squirt water. What's that useful for? The gimmick in his dungeon, basically that's it

"Upgrading armor in TOTK was tedious and grindy and not enjoyable," said Loquacius, who has spent loving dozens of hours upgrading armor in TOTK of his own volition because it's loving worth it

I was watching my friend play a few days ago, and it seemed like it created a shield, and you could then expend the shield as a projectile. If so, that sounds pretty handy. Watching him play deinitely encouraged me to play more. I didn't know that the blueprint ability thing could hoover-up nearby materials (or that "default" blueprints could be collected). Was fun watching him zoom around in the dark underground.

paladin bad guys are bs because they can just dump every divine smite they can in a single battle because they dont have to worry about conserving anything, so they will just nuke your poo poo.
