please do roll on a pve server because you will probably be the guy in a 5 man who makes my life hell due to not having a clue.

Yes because not wanting to deal with autistic gankers apparently has something to do with PVE content :confused:

PVE has always been easy, from open beta all the way through cata for me, that isn't what myself or Katrik were talking about. It's the seemingly vast majority of the people on Nost are kek/salty/9gag trolls with nothing better to do then gank "grey" opposing faction players.

Just started on Nost horde 2 days ago, only 12. Can anyone tell me how the lvl 60 AB and WSG scene is? Nost forums/reddit suggests that it is a shitshow, pug vs pug games never happen, and that it is usually 10v3 pre-made vs pug or something along those lines. I'm afraid to invest time to lvl to 60 if the bracket is as bad as people are saying. Someone give me some hope =P

Depends what rank you want to get. R13 or 14 you'll have to quit your job, divorce your partner, put your kids up for adoption and pvp about 16 hours a day. The russians and chinese have that shit on lock down.

They did something to their queue that tries to force pre-made against pre-made, lots of people don't like it. Usually the pre-mades just dodge each other.

Other than that lots of insta pops all day for WSG and AB. AV queues are a little longer.

[Riotgirl]

Hot tip - don't spec prot until 60. Go arms for leveling. All you are doing is gimping yourself.

You make a good point: general consensus on Warrior forum on Nost is that you can be in (almost) any spec for 5 Player Dungeons providing that you switch to Sword & Board (if appropriate) and let the group know if you're fulfilling a DPS role (loot rolls).

My short-term spec goal is 7/5/0. I then have maximum flexibility to decide what spec to go as I level.

My last 9 arathi BGs soloqueue as Alliance today

1: 3v14 (premade)
2: I enter, the game is already over 0-2000 (premade)
3: I enter,6vs14, bases already 0-5, resources 0-1500 (premade)
4: 1vs15 (premade)
5: I enter,7vs15, bases 0-5, resources 0-1200 (premade)
6: 4v14 (premade)
7: Game already 0-5 (premade)
8: 2vs15 (premade)
9: 1 vs 15. I decided to say fuck it and fight. They killed me at Stables and I ressed at the alliance base. Then two of their priest mind controlled me and made me walk through the portal. 15 minutes deserter debuff. (premade)

You can tank any 5 man with any spec, just make sure you group lots while you're leveling to get the hang of it by the time you are 60. Also, as a 60 warrior, you have complete control of the group and people will let you roll on whatever you please. Tanks are that hard to find

But based on the fact that your short-term goal requires level 20 something I'd say you have plenty of time to learn :)

I typed up a rude response but then I decided to delete it.

If you don't enjoy the pvp server, I hope you have fun on the pve server

[justin2090]

Arms all day. You don't want to be any other spec on a pvp server trust me. And also get the whirlwind axe as your quest reward at 30. Its slow and high dmg which is great for Overpower/MS. I clobbered a rogue 8 lvls higher than me with that thing. He hit evasion then he hit the ground.

Nothing like a WSG where you queue with randoms and get stomped in 10 minutes by top raid gear guys. Those ones where you choose not to respawn lol. How dare the admins not let them zerg the casuals?!!

Well that looks pretty toxic and incredibly annoying. I played during vanilla and though there was a pug vs premade I'd say 40% of the time, they were usually full games and reasonably enjoyable. This just sounds horrible lol. I think I may need to find a bracket to "twink" in a bracket where my enhance shammy doesn't get 1 shot by warriors like the 11-19 bracket. Is Kronos like this too with 60 bgs?

Yeaaahhh, most WSGs are aids tho. I stick to AB, did that GM sanctioned bug abuse during first AV weekend to exalted tho LOL. #livetestingenvironment #5years

@Oooruk and Justin2090

Thanks people! I'm now going to spec 31/5/15 (I cannot completely override my Prot inclinations). I'm avoiding the Fury talents because every Warrior and their dog all want to DPS and be near the top of damage meters.

I'm not interested (solely) in numbers, as I am effectiveness re: learning to play [Tank], learning in a group (I generally group, even in longer solo quests), and having a desire to 5 Player and small-scale PvP.

I'm very much in the learning stage, getting to know my abilities, and why and how certain abilities scale with gear e.g. OP cannot be blocked, dodged or parried and is dependent on Weapon Damage. At 16th level with lowbie quest and vendor gear, it's much of muchness, but with WW Axe at level 30 (and with 2/2 in Imp OP), I'm going to see massive performance increase.

A lot to learn, and all of it greatly enjoyable! Even "STVietnam" has its appeal!

Cool. Sounds like you are on the right path. The main reason for not going prot while leveling is being able to solo efficiently (there will be times when you have to solo). I totally recommend re specing prot at 60 if you wish to tank. Its what I did (leveled as arms)

[Rec]

pve server decision tomorrow

[ClubnRed]

Literally sucks like 80% of the fun away from WoW when you just do PVE. Then again i guess some people just like to pve and not pvp.

[justin2090]

Definitely gonna try out the pve server. Possibly horde warrior/shaman. I never got to play vanilla shaman since I was alliance on live so I'm kinda leaning towards totems.

[omgmo]

Horde smell funny, and they live in tents. Come back home to alliance :p

[drelk001]

FOR THE HORDE!!

[Alenon]

Ewww

[Masq]

got a group of friends playing on the nost server opening this weekend.
We'll be on alliance, feel free to send me a PM if you're interested in getting in our guild for fun times.

[Pokesan]

Made it to level 12 last server. Let's see what kind of nonsense annoys me into quitting this time.

[Layne]

Just found this what are peoples thoughts on the server, any sticking around?

There seems to be a ton of players unreal for an emu if the numbers are correct over 7k on the pvp server. Name selection is a pita everything is taken gotta get creative.

[Fame]

I played on both of them for a bit now, I was late to the pvp server, its packed, something like 5k players all the time. I'm playin on the pve server too, it just started a few weeks ago, its less people and no world pvp so it can get boring if you live to pvp

[Buellen]

Started on Pve few weeks ago was crowded at first but now its a breez in newly zones.

Got my hunter to 43 and now working on my 20 war and 10 druid.

Have to say it is refreshing to not be ganked when i enter any zone that is contested and is 30 plus in level.

[Layne]

pvp server seems crazy populated like they need to open another or two. going to invest some time into the pve server I think, what time I got for games these days anyways.

[justin2090]

Got a 60 horde prot warrior on the pve server. The pvp server is way too populated and makes lvl'n a pita. I had nearly 200 hk's at 30 and never did the first battle ground. So I gave up on pvp server because it just takes too long to lvl.

[Wiley]

Got a 60 horde prot warrior on the pve server.

Rolled a new cowdruid on the pve server, any good leveling/social guilds? I had a few 20's on the pvp server but couldn't deal with the massive amounts of obnoxious people.

[Buellen]

Hehe Wiley

Same here got to 43 and quickly got bored with the gankfest they have on that PvP server. Plus all the annoying people literally can't swing a dead gnome without hitting some a hole players.


PS

Sorry gnome lovers 9)

[katrik]

On PVE, 49 rogue alliance. Whisper Tikiri if you wanna say hello, if I'm ever on.

Last time I logged in was to tell a joke that isn't funny, and see how mad people got...and after telling it a 4th/5th time expecting laughs. People are so easy to troll there, its the only enjoyment to be had :o

[Buellen]

Hey swish

That is just annoying 8) The pure toxic chat channels and the people just plain rude even from your own side. Not everyone on the PvP sever is like that , but it is so overcrowded that it feel that way. The pleasant people are out shadowed by the a holes.

I am having fun on the PvE server.

On side note

My 17th level druid alt was in West fall and I got into some PvP by accident and it was entertaining. Had a twiink undead rogue hanging out helping his alliance friend finishing the dread mine quest line , i accidentally targeted him and blasted and was crap!. All the other alliance guys thought the rogue had engaged me and we all proceeded to nuke /melee him down. The Hord rogue then came back and slaughter most of us LOL. Needless to say i died 8) but it was all in fun as it was my mistake.

[justin2090]

I'm pretty sure it's mostly raiding guilds atm on horde side. Really no complaints about the community aside from the daily waxface spam.

[Swish]

I didnt know they'd launched the pve server. How long has it been out? How many jumped ship from the old pvp one?

[Pokesan]

I told you awhile ago dummy!

still have your name

[Issar]

Just playing with the talent calculator on their site takes me way back.

[guirssane]

Got a level 60 druid on the pvp server, cleaned everything atm. it's a nice server except for a part of the community. It's still funny to see how easy the leveling is compared to everquest hehe.

[maestrom]

A friend of mine and I started up on the PvE realm last night and played until 4 in the morning.

Felt like being 21 again haha.

Aside from some lag issues and my friend saying "WHAT!? SHIT'S NOT CLASSIC" to some things like mounts and the AH in Undercity, it was pretty legit.

Edit: @Swish, the PvE server is ~1.5 months old near as I can tell. There are totes-magotes people running around but it seems to have less of the overcrowding problem of the PvP realm. I watched a guy streaming Hillsbrad on PvP and there were a hundred people all going after the same quest mobs as he was. He spent more time running around looking for something to kill than he did anything else. I could almost see your annoying "Consider Blue" spam.

[Wiley]

Not sure how many jumped ship but PVP is definitely more populated. Was playing during peak yesterday and about 2100 people were on PVE. Granted I haven't checked in months but PVP peak times it was around 6k

[vermeee]

im not playin in there anymore but pve in nostalrius is pretty awesome....raised a tank and a heale in PVP server

wow vanilla PVE s pretty awesome specialy if u rollin a tank or healer....

i wish they had more dungeons in vanilla... it sux there s only raids to be added now....

i have a warrior and a druid full on BIS ready to start raid... if someone wanna buy it lemme know... i just dont like raidin in WOW..

[MelxDruid]

Playing a 50 undead rogue atm on PVP server. Hella fun time. Lots of world pvp and instances.

If someone can log in, run to the Barrens for me and tell the xbox 360 joke I'd be so grateful, as will the 100s leveling there ;) <3

I'll give it a go and post results but no clue what this joke is.

Barrens chat oddly wasn't that bad this weekend, though this one guy tried to do a straw poll "for 1 million dollars would you stab an old woman or blow an old man."

It was much much worse on the PVP server, probably due to the massive population it has vs PVE.

[Psionide]

I thought people played wow mostly for PVP?

[guirssane]

I thought people played wow mostly for PVP?

Well vanilla pvp is pretty fucked up, unbalanced as fuck and kinda meh imo. Still I enjoy world pvp on my druid, flying mount kinda killed this world pvp. Such a shame

[Wiley]

I thought people played wow mostly for PVP?

assuming troll? WoW has always leaned heavily towards the PVE side, expansions were never about the new hot battleground/arena.

Arena's for example came out in TBC iirc? Was that even mentioned on the retail box? If so it was probably a foot note on the back side, TBC was all about Illidan and co.

[Psionide]

I'm not a troll just someone who never played wow but always heard from people that the pvp aspect was what set it apart from other mmos.

Lich King killed world pvp and AV style battlegrounds.

What's skillful about having death knights pull people randomly into a pack of 20+ people to be zerg killed? That's where I got off the bus at least...it was a steady decline since vanilla in pvp terms. Arenas were good for some but come up against a druid and you just had to roll your eyes lol

QFT, granted I never played on a PVP server I'd imagine flying mounts were the end of world pvp. DK's were rather imbalanced for a long while in both pve/pvp.

Druid's time in the pvp sun for sure was TBC bg's and arena's, we ate rogues for breakfast and could easily 1v3 gear depending. I played the heck out of those first few seasons before going raid mode.
