Twinking, 8.2, Thoughts, Current State

Resto

Grandfathered
8.2 has launched and as most of us had to experience the hard way. The patch released a fixed to our only way of having fast pops. As most of you know, I used to main the 20s bracket. Played nothing but 20s for 3 expansions straight. Eventually moved to 70s due to changes over time and making my old bracket dull. Can anyone give any hope to the current state of twinking aside from having to wait for war games?

I cba to play endgame content. If war games and vet status isn’t the only way to play, then classic wow is going to be my only goal and I’ll be unsubbing until then. Have casuals finally complained enough to ruin a big aspect of the game? I had been waiting over 5 months to come home and this is what is to expect. I had been introduced to a private server, been having a decent time on it.

Ascension is the name. Been bugged to play it for 1.5 years, finally downloaded it. My time will be spent there until the 27th of August. It’s a honest shame with how much time I’ve put into all of my toons. The years of playtime, just meaningless now due to the changes that affected this community.

I’m under the impression that twinking will thrive under war games and being a vet. If that’s the case, then there’s no point imo. Twinking has always been about creativity, and variety in options. Now that we’re limited after nearly 15 years of doing so, it’s crippled a lot. It’s put myself into a frustrated state of mind, because my passion for twinking has never faded unlike most individuals. Still won’t, but for retail status, I’m stepping away. I had been working on a montage, for the meantime, I’m changing plans on how I’m creating it. Should and possibly may be my last retail twink vid I release until blizzard pulls their heads out their asses.

Until further updates, not a fan of 8.2. Just like most people are memeing, “See all of you in classic” :)
 
Normal i am not a such sentimentel creature, after reading this it provited me goosebumps
"Hitting the nail on the head"
And yeah it hurts when you scroll down the character list and find nothing usefull whats not lvl 20
 
You re pointing it out rehsto. I won't even play classic, because why should I let them removing twink brackets for levelers complain. And the saddest story is that these guys who complained about twinks in bg won't even play retail after classic. So we have by far more lacking queues and blocked twinks who really wanna fresh the queues. Such a joke company. After 12 years being a only blizz fan, I'm just disappointed of this bad decision. Summer is there and the other thing is there is nothing to play. As a hard core PvP player I can't play high-level content because it's pveized. If I'm not playing dungeons and raids I can't compete in PvP ( fun asfck :) ). And after toxic, cancerous and egositic 20s vets and F2P this bracket isn't a choice as well. So leaving wow ist The best solution to me, because they removed high level real PvP (Now it's an advanced myhtic mode, do so many trys as possible and get better gear so u reach 3.3k) and they destroyed my 70 bracket

Your absolutely right no one wants to play bfa in it's current state shit was bad after warlords of draenor it just keeps getting worse every xpac.
 
might try it out if this keeps up. but then again, there are some old style retro games coming back like baldur's gate.

but as a community, I think we need to try to find a new game for all of us to play if all of us go down with the s.s.activision ship.
 
I recomend playing Light's Hope until classic comes out, a classic server that will be closing down as soon as classic wow opens to retail.
 
Ascension is nothing like classic and its glorious. I love ascension, and have no plans of playing classic at all. Its just different, wildcard wow is something that I've never played before, and I love it.

It is new and interesting, took me a bit to adapt. I like it
 
I recommend Fortnite, Fortnite is free to play, available on any counsel, mobile, or computer, and is all around fun!
 
Gotta be honest with you guys....i have no idea how twinking even made it this far.....i mean PvP twinking died to me almost 6 years ago lol. Classic however is going to revive it for me.

Edit: forget about twinking idk how people still play BFA after legion?? makes no sense to me lol

2nd edit: Wtf is a vet 20 twink? like f2p?

Not really.

If you aren't interested in 20s, there's no real twinking around anymore outside of world pvp thug life or city gate duels.

If vet/F2P or end game dont appeal to you (I really wish I could convince all of you how awesome F2P is), this is the end of the line. It's time to find another game.

I really, very highly, recommend Darkest Dungeon. It's a difficult, somewhat unique take on turn based strategy dungeon crawlers. It's beautiful, its cheap on Steam and theyre coming out with a sequel this year. I have alot of fun with it.

Or <meme>just wait for classic</meme>

20s are nothing what they used to be. They're too dull now.
 
Cata and MoP even WoD were not dull moments for 20s.
To each their own. The community was certainly bumping back then. But I didnt really find the actual pvp all that intriguing.

But hey man, if you dug it you dug it. I dont wanna try to take that away from you. Im just saying the actual mechanics of F2P gameplay arent why I find it enjoyable.
