I play it on and off. I took a break around the start of this year because my guild kinda stopped raiding, as most of our main group stopped logging on at raid times because it was around the holidays, and I didn’t need any gear from MSV. Have an ilevel 490 huntard, full dreadful/molevolent mage, and a level 88 dk as my main toons. I also have level 50s-70s of everything else, minus a lock, shammy, and priest.

I play on Maelstrom (aka failstrom). Main toons are Ârtemis, Brynhold, and Dynikus.

gonna pull off some necromancy to keep post count down

talk of wow recently got me stuck thinking about it. i played off and on from wotlk til df but haven’t played in a couple of years now. for yall still playing, how are you liking the current state/direction of the game? has there been any recent change that stood out to you as a standout change/addition?

im flirting with coming back for some casual m+ specifically so if anyone runs that, how are keys these days?

also i played druid, rogue, and lock if anyone can comment on class state

WoW has been part of my life for 21 years now lol. Love the game so much. Mythic plus is my primary game mode, and its in a great spot right now. They redid all the affixes going into The War Within and they’re so much better (good riddance Sanguine, Bursting, etc).

@Splizacular, since you played DF you might remember the “key squish”, so now key numbers are about 10 lower, but same difficulty. I’m currently trying to get all my 15’s done and trying to get to 3300 before the season ends.

Warlock and Balance are looking to be absolutely CRACKED for next season which starts in a few weeks, perfect time to come back!

I used to play, but whenever I decide to dedicate my life to gaming its been OSRS lately. Even after a year of not playing,if I ever decide to return again I’ll keep all my progress and it won’t be redundant with new content/expansions like WOW

good thing is they’re gone now. new affixes are really fun, and above level 12 affixes go away and the scaling just increases, makes it so pushing keys is consistent week to week

feral is actually doing really well in the current season, one of the better melee dps classes in the game. feral hasnt been a “budget rogue” in a long time imho, its had a fairly unique identity with the utility it brings to the game.

guardian is also doing pretty well right now, its really survivable but its damage is lower than a lot of tanks. with that said, you can tank the entire mythic raid and do fairly high level keys with Guardian, so its really more of a “meta” perception that says Guardian isnt that great. going into season 3 though, its looking like its getting outshined by vengeance DH and prot warrior though.

I’ve been back into it for the last year+, but not retail… I found Turtle WoW!

Free to play, tons of original content (including dugeons and raids!), and a really solid community. Pretty much Classic+, but with tier sets and viability for nearly every class specification.

Best part is I don’t feel chained to playing every day, since I’m not paying a sub and there are no “daily” quests. They do have a donation shop, but it’s mostly all cosmetics apart from helpers like repair bots, auction house pets, and mailbox toys.

They keep adding new content, too. We just beat their newest raid, Upper Karazhan Halls (40 man) yesterday!!

If you like you some classic/vanilla wow, I highly suggest taking a walk on the slow side with the turtles.
