That’s enough for today.
After waiting about 45 minutes to log in I finally got in and starting killing mobs on my 26 warrior. Gameplay started to get super choppy. After 10ish minutes online I dc’d while in combat. Logged back on with 8% health and health potted and survived.
That’s enough for today. See you maybe tomorrow or whenever my fear is gone.
Servers down?
Got dc’d a few minutes ago and thought my connection hiccuped. Had to restart the client and now there’s a 50 minutes queue to log in. Be careful if you’re still on. Pretty sure I just lost my mage.

No weapons / fists only challenge help
Hey fellow hardcore folks.
Giving myself a challenge of going unarmed/fists only on my way to max. Just wanted to see some rules to give myself and wanted some feedback to such a challenge as this:
- would a shield be allowed or nothing equipped in any weapon slots?
- professions: can I use engineering and explosives or I can use any profession as long as it doesn’t allow for weapons or items that can damage enemies?
- EDIT: fishing you have to equip a fishing rod… can I equip one to fish although the rule is no weapons equipped?
I can’t think of any other rules or limitations besides getting to max with only unarmed fist combat. Just fistin my way to 60. Any help really appreciate but thank you all and best of luck on your journeys.
Player named Vorgr (Soulseeker, EU) has been griefing for months. Killed 12+ players in the past 4 days alone.
He logs on, does the quest that spawns Spectral Stalkers in Thrall's Chamber then logs off as soon as someone is killed... presumably so they can't right-click his character portrait and report him. He does this every single day, multiple times per day, and has been doing it for months - someone said he's been doing it for an entire year.
Can someone make a post about this on the official Blizzard hardcore forum? I've heard it's more likely to be seen if posted there. I can't post/reply there for some reason, despite jumping through all the hoops to be able to (level 10 char, age verified, etc.)
I whisper everybody that dies to tell them who did it and to make a report and many of them do, but still nothing happens.
Why is palading autoattacking labeled “mindnumbing” but priest wanding is “smart and efficient”?
Double standards.
Deadmines tanking
I was a 21 warrior. We were moving ahead, I engage, the team says pat. Everyone runs backwards and leaves me. I die, very sad way to go. In reality the pat was rooms behind us.
in two weeks... Eltordo become lvl 60
when I lost my job, I bought a 3 month wow subscription... that time has now expired... luckily I have a job again and I'll get paid in 2 weeks... that same weekend I get paid, my lovely Eltordo druid 57 will be 60. <3
Aoe grinding in dungeons solo, does this work with reduced XP? Or is soloing bosses more effective? Google gives conflicting answers
I sw for tommy salami as paladin streaming he kills like 30 undead trolls over n over in zf with consec while running on a safe spot as paladin
, I'm fairly sure mob XP in dungeons Is reduced in hardcore— is a multi mob XP grind in a dungeon viable at all in hardcore? Or is solo the best bet
Question on the ban / bot mafia
Hello everyone
Lurker from the subreddit and old wow player from 2005 here.. went once on hardcore but never went agane...
I see so many posts on these wow subs concerning griefers / the bot mafia... Can't we use the same tool against them ?
Isn't there a way to create a sort of tribunal through Reddit / Discord to mass report and use the Blizzard system against the bots ?
I know that drifts are a possibility (aka mass report an innocent person) , this is why proofs would be needed. But if everyone reports at the same time. Wouldn't it work against the griefers / bots ?
Also, does anybody knows around how many reports it would need to trigger the system ?
It will be hard to maintain it clean I suppose....
Why did I just notice the Darnassus bank is a bear

Why I don't use Petri Flasks...
There's been a lot of contention as to whether Flask of Petrification nullifies a hardcore run - is it still Hardcore? It's basically a get-out-of-jail-free button you can press in any situation and you will survive. Coupled with Alt+F4, it's a glitchy, worse version of Bubble Hearthing - which was REMOVED for official Hardcore because it cheapened hardcore.
This is why I don't use Flask of Petrification.
What's the point? You went through all of this trouble, hit at least level 50, probably 60 without it and now you want to take the easy way out and remove any more challenge?
This is why I, actually, don't use ANY flasks period.
They're all extremely overpowered in ways that weren't intended for the game mode.
I don't use elixirs either - may as well cheat. You buy them off the Auction House to give yourself huge buffs you wouldn't have otherwise.
In fact, consumables as a whole make your hardcore run invalid. If you can't craft it yourself, you shouldn't use it. Let's keep the sanctity of the game intact.
Boss loot? Really? You're just turning on easy mode. These guys have literally the best loot in the entire game and by equipping it, there is nothing "hard" about the game at all anymore.
Professions are very softcore. If you use them, it says a lot about you and how you're not ready for real hardcore. Fishing gives you free gear and food. Cooking gives you, well, we talked about consumables being OP. Plus, you can just MAKE your own armor? Sure, may as well just spawn it in too.
Speaking of it - Armor? Pft. The game starts you out with the only armor a true hardcore player would need. Anything more - transfer your character because you're already dead. Serious noob check.
Weapons too? Hah. I remember when I was a baby who used weapons - easiest game of my life. Why don't you go back to Cookie Run? You are the same as someone playing Diablo Immortal with a credit card taped to your forehead. Maybe try some Elden Ring 0 death Wretch runs first before you come at me in my hardcore game.
So, if anyone is an actual hardcore player hit me up. I'm restarting my 11th character today.
60 with each class
Finally making it to 60 on each class in hardcore classic. Took over a year to complete as a father with 27 children and 8 jobs.
I accidentally got another player killed… and I feel terrible
We were both around level 11 and questing together in the cave in northeast Durotar.
At the end of the cave, I decided to jump off the platform. And the entire room attacks me.
no one got out alive :(
I know it was only level 11, but I still feel genuinely bad about it. We were questing together and I basically caused his death because of one stupid jump.
Hardcore really hits differently when you realize there is an actual person behind that character.
I’m sorry, random Shaman. 🥲
I guess the lesson is: never blindly jump down in a Hardcore cave.
How do you guys deal with the guilt when you accidentally get another player killed?
I usually only play alone to avoid that :(
SSF Warrior - is it worth it to drop mining to make a stack of swiftness potions?
I already did it, I dropped mining for herbalism, then ill drop herbs for alchemy, then back to mining. The question is how many potions should I make before going back to mining? Is 20 enough? Should I go ham and make 100 so I can speed around Azeroth? Or should I just make a few and save them for oh shit moments?
Update: two laps around Elwynn, three laps around Westfall - 98 Silverleaf, 86 Peacebloom, 54 Earthroot, 49 Briarthorn, 22 Mageroyal, 13 Swifthistle, 11 Bruiseweed
Update 2: 20 Elixer of Lion's Strength, 20 Elixer of Minor Defense, 15 Weak Troll's Blood, 13 Swiftness Potions
Was it worth it? Idk but its good padding.
