World of Warcraft Classic Beta Live

Enhanced textures/models does absolutely NOTHING in terms of gameplay.

I see nothing wrong with a client-side toggle to enable better textures/models.

Depends on if addons are enabled or not, usually they're not early on.

And on your model thing... that's going to depend if the models are in the classic files already, if anything has to be changed file wise that'll get you banned.

Yeah, I wish they had a toggle too. Or at least just a landscape/doodads toggle...? Old terrain and stuff is pretty rough.

I'm guessing that since it'll pull from retail files, which are "a part of the game", it'd be fine, or a grey area.

That's strange, i didnt get in this time. Clearly this is a mistake and it will be corrected. How dare they have a beta without me!

I assume you need to be subscribed to be considered for beta?

I'm fairly hyped for it, but man, some of these "top WoW streamers" are about as cancerous as they get in terms of personalities.

Yeah, fuck these "influencers"

Yep.

Virtually only streamers online, wtf. Plebs don't get invited.

Yep.

I don't give a piss about "streamers" and their opinions, I'll make mine when I get to try it. "Influencers" are nothing more than toxic gits looking for views.

So I'm assuming only those streamers a.k.a Blizzard bootlickers are gonna be invited?

Any EU people in yet? It's after midnight here, I can cross my fingers and hope they'll send me an invite tomorrow.

Yeah, been playing since the original beta. Thought that alone would get me in. Been a top tierish raider ever since. But God knows I am not a streamer.

Just how I remember it...leveling is boring/slow as hell just the way it should be.

Why do they bother calling it a beta anyway.. completely lost its meaning.

Theres nothing entertaining about watching some idiot level, especially classic WoW.. I really can't fathom why it's trending

The client is the 7.3.5 one, so addons won’t be that hard to port tbh.

Heh, Twitch has WoW on top now, with all the usual faces streaming it.

How can you even tell if you got it? Is it considered PTR or what?

McCuck isn't in. He just said that in asmons stream.

Classic already feels better/has more life than BfA. It's really sad what WoW has become.

It's new. That's legitimately it. Give it a day or two max and the interest on twitch will drop lower than streaming ff14.

Blizzard i don't have with whom to play on retail because all players went to classic. What am i gonna do?
