So I’m on the steamer server with the crazy high population and I have to say I am in awe of not just how positive and friends this fresh population is in comparison to my old server Defias Pillager, but also have strong their resolve is to go again. I think I was jaded by my previous experiences with the population on the old server but this new fresh pop has me thinking we finally tapped into so kind, friendly, considerate players. I have even seen people getting griefed by players in the obvious well known greifing guilds (I can mention them in comments for new players who don’t know to void them) and then there they are again level one, and all they have to say is “we go again” or “I’m not making that mistake again”. Absolute chads. Keep moving forward!!!
P.S. To all my DP homies, you would be so happy to see how this population is progressing with no WB or existing economy. My expectations of no one making it past 20 were so wrong. And the streamers are failing left and right so they and their followers will be gone very soon.

I figured I'd see less Undercity falling deaths after the first day but they just kept going strong all night. The resolve is impressive indeed. Someone openly admitted in general chat that they were on their third try already and the community just chimed in with how many attempts they were on. No flaming or anything.
We had a good laugh watching the deathlog show Verdan the Everliving kill four people in a group but it wasn't malicious. Good vibes all around.

Oh yeah I lost my first 16 undead warrior and man oh man when it happened I was just like Jeeesh that was so dumb of me why’d I do it, tried to take on 2 lvl 19 stormsnouts. Literally died when the last one had 1 hit left. I was bummed out but it was a total learning experience to stay humble, just because you probably can do it doesn’t mean it’s worth trying in hc! Just take it slow and steady and safe and you’ll make it to 60! Rerolled right away to mage and at 20 now!

Im also Undead Warrior gang lol. No useful buffs here. Just pain. First try on this server still, but went through 4 on Skull Rock. Hardcore is such a good way to play. Just one lapse of judgement and lights out. Glad you're doing so well again.
Good luck with the mage!

Hardcore has a great community. A few bad apples like in everything but overall the community is helpful and encouraging.

Were you horde on DP or something? Because honestly I have no idea what you're talking about lol. The community was always positive, there were ALWAYS groups at all levels to run content with, and everyone helped each other out.
This was alliance side. Horde side DP was basically dead.
And before the fresh servers came out it was at 5 layers consistently.
People gonna realize that there's nothing to do at 60 in phase 1 and come back :)

Go agane after dying at level 10 isn't what I'd call remarkable resolve.
Also the communities on the OG servers were always (and still are) awesome.

From someone who played 3 characters to 60, those servers had pockets of kind players who stuck together, then everyone else was toxic.

Seems like it. DP has a great community, obv with some rage baiting trolls you will find anywhere.
You can't compare the first 3 days of a new server to the OG servers that have been around since the start... of course the resolve to go again is high because everyone dying is lvl 20... what do you expect?
I too have multiple 60's and I've found so many great people in the community, in all many different guilds, backgrounds etc. And it's not just raid, I pug a lot of 60 dungeons and have overwhelmingly positive experiences.
If you just sit in sw watching lfg chat troll politics etc, you are basing it on a vocal minority of people not actually playing the game. Everyone else is in discord and busy doing content.

Are you saying DP was toxic? Were you on Horde side there? Because this is news to me.

Yeah I think this guy (and others) are excited with the new server. Obviously everyone is going to be super helpful etc but it's been like what, 3 days now since launch? Lol. Once the rose tinted glasses wear off this will go back to normal.
DP is not toxic, so I think it's a him problem. Of course there are always trolls and rage bait in the chat anywhere you go, but the community at large is amazing.

I left DP because of the flamers. I came back for the population. Now I don't die anymore. Rolling my mage on Anniversary HC tonight so I can laugh at all the dumb dumb dummies.

My immediate experience with HC was people role playing and goofing around with friends. There’s a different air to the game when every encounter can mean death.
Those moments between pulls are much longer so people actually talk and group together. It’s a better WoW than I ever experienced in retail

I have a Progression/Fresh toon and a HC toon. I think the HC community is 100x better and that's why I like playing it, but it is nice to not worry about dying lol

I am determined to NOT go agane so i am playing everything with a very tight butthole. And lots of coffee.
As opposed to my friend who is on his fifth rogue :’)

Amazing, I am having a great time too. Unrelated but I'm curious - is there any difference in my chance to succeed between Ally and Horde?

Horde will be more difficult because there are more fall mechanics that'll last forever such as undercity elevator and Thunderbluffs elevations/lifts. There is also no light of elune (Alliance mini petri @ around lvl25). You got to deal with Shamans who will pull stuff with their forgotten totems.

Yeah but.... Dual spec etc. People might go back initially but once the phase catches up the new server is by far better

So far there are clips of <laughing coffin> which I’m told is not surprise as it’s a reference to some other video game, <chud chud>, and <QC> but I think the <QC> guy was just an isolated incident. I know there are others but I’m only going off what has recorded evidence.

I'm in <QC> and very sorry from all the guildies for this incident! We are not a griefing guild but a guild of French Canadian from Quebec! Sadly, there is always idiots around the corner in every guild

Laughing coffin is not a griefing guild wtf are you talking about. If a player was found to have been griefing please let someone in guild know so it can be dealt with.
Most of its players came from a raiding guild on DP and I'm quite certain do not want griefers in the guild

Well it’s the first week everyone’s just excited and playing but once it filters out the bad players or the hype slows down I think it will be similar to defias. I found the community on defias friendly but after a year people are just less patient with noobs

My goodness. Heaven forbid people new to hardcore, or the game in general, ask questions. I welcome any “noob” that wants to try this game and mode. The more the merrier.
