What’s your graphics card (or integrated?) on your laptop and how high can you turn up the graphics? Possibly include CPU too, please.

Can confirm, the download is about 8GB. Uncompressed it is 8.35GB. Mac OS X Mojave.

I'm playing on a SHIT Macbook Air at the moment from 2015 which doesn't even have dedicated graphics. It's on a 1.6GHz i5 with Intel HD 5000 integrated graphics. The system 'recommends' a setting of '3' for me, which I was actually pleasantly surprised by (thought I'd have to run it on baaaare minimum). No anti-aliasing of course but it's very smooth - I have the 'classic' graphics selected so it looks identical to vanilla screenshots I've seen for comparison, and doesn't require a great deal of power as a result. You can run classic very nicely on anything mate, is my conclusion.

I read this post yesterday at work and I must have not been reading very closely because I don’t remember that at all! :oops:

I suppose you can’t do the increased ground clutter, but I keep telling myself I don’t need a new computer and I don’t need it.

Wait really? I'm confused...but you signed up now to play?

I have a WoW account but its not subscribed. I am not paying for a subscription.

I’m the deeloper of this here site so I think that’s why I got an invite - for being a classic ‘influencer’ or whatever you call massive nerds these days :smile:

Hey Teebs, grats on beta! One thing I would like you to take a look at is whether LookingForGroup is a global channel, global but restricted to main cities, or local to main cities.

Cheers!

A couple things for me:
Are there unarmored albino raptors that can be attained from the troll mount vendor? This will change my method for leveling significantly.
Have you attempted any wall-hopping or other exploitable terrain mechanics? Do they work like on vanilla or have they been corrected?
Thanks!

Blizzard already announced that the old, unarmored mounts will not exist in Classic.

Doh! I just found it on another post. That is a bummer for sure but at least now I won't be spending my time farming rep at a low level. I even considered rolling a Troll when I really want to go undead this time. Crisis averted I suppose.

Yeah, I believe they said they don't want to force any playstyle (i.e. rushing to 60 to get the mount in time) on players but encourage everyone to play the way they want.

I was curious to know this. They must have a predefined list of "influencer"-type people that they invite regardless of subscription. But they're telling everyone else for a 'chance' to get in they must be subscribed... Nice way to make a ton of money without having to do anything I guess. :lol: I was wondering if all these people getting in today in the 2nd wave were subscribed, but I am guessing not.

Do tell which weather system they're using (if you run into any, that is.)

I found this today https://clips.twitch.tv/AmorphousDeliciousWalletCoolStoryBob
