One man’s joy, one man’s sorrow – we take a mischievous look at the best tactics used to wreak havoc on Classic players in World of Warcraft. nervous alarm!

Soon the time has come, soon the gates will open into a wonderful world full of players who have no idea what a wasteland of twisted mechanics and devious tactics vanilla WoW was: Classic is coming (launches on August 27th 2019) and we can promise you face to face it’s going to be a very wild ride for ninety percent of players. The beauty of old WoW wasn’t just the sheer endless amount of time that had to be spent leveling up, or the sheer suffering that newcomers to a PvP server experienced – the crowning glory of the amusement was the many ways in which you could play the nerves of his team-mates with force in front of the next tree. No safety mechanisms, no game mechanics matured in more than a decade. Just the ingenuity of bad, bad people and the feeling to have finally arrived in the wild west. Of course we’re talking about trolls and their tactics to collect as many player tears as possible and then sip them with relish from a fine wine glass, refined with delicious crackers and fine cheese. So we present you with our favorite ways to spread pure terror in the player community and make a name for yourself throughout the server. After all, every one of the numerous WoW heroes likes a player who shows a little ingenuity with his meanness, doesn’t he?

And just to be clear, this is not a nice article. Of course, we don’t want to ask anyone at this point to really try out the following extremely entertaining and amazingly easy-to-implement tips for trolls in Classic WoW. Of course not! Shame! Of course, we created this collection for one reason: to protect innocent newcomers from the nasty trolls and to tell them what to expect in a few months. The PvP options that await us are either separate PvP and PvE servers or the now beloved war mode or the PvP flag, which may even bring the current XP bonus with it. Both are good news for trolls and those who want to become one (ugh!). Because either you can hold yourself harmless from a bunch of players who can’t turn off their PvP flag (you bad people!), or your target has activated his flag of his own free will and is running extremely tense through Azeroth – which makes the following meanness even more effective designed. Sit back, grab a bag of popcorn, and enjoy the prospect of terribly annoying your fellow players. Or make a note of what you have to look out for in Classic-WoW if you don’t want to fire your keyboard through the next window in frustration after ten minutes. Have fun!

The wrong quest NPC

Good trolling techniques are like fine wine: they only get better with time and don’t lose their effectiveness. The following teasing little joke combines everything that makes a good troll: It hardly gives the opponent a chance, causes increased paranoia and works especially well with inattentive players. Their angry messages are all the sweeter afterwards because you can simply reply that in the colorful PvP world you should probably keep your eyes open if you don’t want to suddenly fall down. Of course we’re talking about the “False Quest NPC”, with the help of which you can harvest blood from the newcomers of the opposing faction. Do you have scruples because you kill characters from level one to five? Don’t fret, you are right. Because why shouldn’t you hunt them down as long as they don’t pose a threat to you? Kill them while they are still small. Put on your hunting hat and load your shotgun because it’s newbie – Season !

For the classic you need a hunter in any case. Night elves are to be preferred here, as they can make themselves invisible using “shadow mimics”. The actual troll tactic is quickly explained: You tame one of the animal NPCs that the newcomers to the opposing faction in Durotar or Elwynn Forest have to kill. Then you rename your companion so that it has the exact same name as the quest mobs and let it wait in a suitable place. Now hide out of sight, wait for the newbie to attack your companion, and kill him – if your companion hasn’t already done so in the meantime. The perfidious thing is, on the one hand, that target macros are not immune to the trick and, on the other hand, there are only a few high-level players in the areas that you use as hunting grounds. Oh, and did we mention that all you have to do is set your PvP flag – et voilà, you have the perfect opportunity to kill newbies on a PvE server too.

The best NPCs for this are the quest wolves in Elwynn Forest and Northshire, with the latter being even more productive, but possibly not offering as many good hiding places. Alliance members have it much easier, because here we recommend simply traveling to Durotar, taming the scorpion “Sarkoth” from the quest of the same name and replacing it with your doppelganger. In any case, baby hordlers have to pass the scorpion, so that you can harvest carefree here. Of course, if a high-level opponent appears, you’ll be gone immediately. After all, fair fights are for heroes. are you a hero No you are not – you are a winner. Happy hunting!

The nice alternative: For all those who don’t have the heart to gank newbies, we also have a “light version” of the whole thing. As a hunter, you unpack your fire blight trap and drape it in front of a quest giver or important NPCs. Moments later, you watch as a clueless newcomer bursts into flames “out of nowhere,” frantically running back and forth, panicking as he tries to counter-heal. Terrible, these cases of spontaneous combustion. Night elves simply remain in shadow mimic throughout the affair, eating invisible popcorn while watching the thrashing. Then you let the newbie flee and after a short while you leave the area.

Flight Master Murder

Many of you will now wave your hand and smile wearily. You’re supposed to kill some flight master? What is a flight master? You can reach every point of the game with one of the umpteen hearthstones or the new portal rooms anyway, right? Our answer to that is: nope. Not in WoW Classic. We hope you’re good on your feet, because mounts are also very expensive here. If you can’t afford a noble steed, you will stand in the landscape as if thunderstruck when a flight master suddenly nips off and quickly realize that Azeroth is bigger than it appears on the live servers. And who the “World of Warcraft  of his fellow players can unintentionally turn into “World of Angry Joggers”, will quickly feel a cozy warmth in the stomach area from the characters standing helplessly in a heap.

Where the fake quest NPC is our favorite method of trolling individual, low-level players, the Flight Master Kill takes a completely different tack: Here, if done well, you can cause a gargantuan bunch of hardcore, max-level players significant inconvenience. Because back then, the fuse of the respawn timer for important NPCs wasn’t just five minutes long – it took a full fifteen minutes for the NPC to get out of the grave and trott back to its place of origin. Perfect! In order to evoke a solid reaction and many tears here, you consider the flight masters in Stormwind or Orgrimmar. The capitals are a great choice, as they will momentarily freeze the beating heart of the opposing faction (remember: no fixed portals) and achieves maximum effect with little effort. Oh and a sudden increase in the price of mage portals.

Of course, villains are best suited to kill off important NPCs in the enemy capital. The troll’s best friends can stealth, deal a lot of damage, and are freely available in both factions. Here, too, the alliance has a small advantage, because the boys in royal blue have a very special class on their side: A holy paladin with a slight tank impact in the talents or a fully equipped protection paladin was characterized by his almost completely absent damage and near total invulnerability. Since you can’t start attacks in WoW Classic during your god shield anyway, you use the time to stroll to the flight master. Your damage, while low, is easily enough to kill the NPC before opposing players can react. If the “Reckoning-Bomb” makes it onto the Classic server, you won’t have any more problems anyway: Before your troll action, let any NPC critically hit you more than forty times and then ignite your “account” in front of the flight master. Anyone who has completed the assassination without a divine shield can use the time to write “kek” in the chat and dance. Bonus: You put one of your characters in front of the flight master beforehand, so you can log around and then understand the angry comments of your fellow players. Super bonus: Your character is a magician and offers portals at a special price.

The Blackrock Ballet
And again we offer you classics of WoW trolling – with our special touch of pure cruelty. Those of you who caught the vanilla WoW glory days will surely remember with horror priests doing horrible things with the mind control spell. Even today, mind control is one of the most amusing tools in a Priest’s arsenal – but that’s nothing compared to the sheer chaos that reigned among the player community back then when a clever Priest entered the battlefield.

One of our favorite tactics is what’s called the “Blackrock Ballet” in vanilla WoW parlance. Explanation: Blackrock in the Burning Steppes was where practically all the important dungeons were at that time: Blackrock Spire, Blackrock Depths, Molten Core and Blackwing Lair were THE places where the fat loot was found. Accordingly, the volcano was also inhabited – and the battlefield could not be better suited to do silly things with it. For those readers who haven’t seen the inside of Blackrock, the whole thing is lava-filled and dominated by a massive boulder suspended from chains, swinging freely above the glowing doom. Who now unpacks his priest and indulges in PvP, can easily take over opposing players from a distance and make them dance helplessly for almost a full minute before jumping into the lava. That’s right, mind control lasted for a full minute back then. Rogues could effectively act as “mini-priests” and use the Deflect skill to wreak havoc. Because this ability causes the enemy to look in the predetermined direction – suddenly and even in the middle of the jump! There’s nothing quite like an enemy suddenly running into a lava-filled chasm because you’ve nudged them in the right direction – out of stealth, of course. Again, night elf priests make the best trolls of the alliance, as your victims don’t see doom coming,

Let the puppets dance

But the Blackrock Ballet is far from the end of the line. The merry troll excursion into Blackrock is actually just one of the tactics of a clever PvP player who uses every chance to win. You don’t want to be known as a skilled tactician, but as an absolute monster that tears its engine to life – otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this article. We recommend ambushing enemy players near a nice deep body of water and then mind controlling them. You remember that mind control in WoW Classic lasts a whole minute? You know what lasts another minute? hero lungs. Before they collapse from lack of oxygen. Simply take over your opponent, jump into the water with their character and swim down so deep as you can. Then you just wait until he drowns. For a full minute – during which your victim can only yell at the screen and bang on their keyboard. Even if the mind control breaks, he must first reach the surface – and by then it will be too late. And if someone now remarks that characters can hold their breath for five minutes, we unfortunately have to grin. That shouldn’t be the case on the Classic servers. Unfortunately, we have to dismiss the fact that characters can hold their breath for five minutes with a grin. That shouldn’t be the case on the Classic servers. Unfortunately, we have to dismiss the fact that characters can hold their breath for five minutes with a grin. That shouldn’t be the case on the Classic servers.

Another friendly way to infuriate your fellow players: the “sudden deserter”. You are on one of the great battlefields of Vanilla WoW and things are really happening: battles in Alterac Valley often lasted more than seventeen hours. WoW-Classic will run its battlegrounds based on patch 1.1.2, which will still result in epic battles but no longer sieges that last for days. However, all battlefields have in common that you have to physically go to the entrance portals and often have to wait a long time for an open match. So what do we do as a friendly priest? We offer all players the opportunity to participate in one of the battles for a limited time! Simply lure your enemy to one of the battlefield portals during an ongoing game, use mind control and simply run out of the battlefield. End. This gives your opponent a much-needed break and a chance for another player to join the ongoing battle. The “deserter debuff” that your victim gets will disappear in an hour – then he can try again. Get ready for colorful private messages and get the popcorn ready.

The final creative way to show your fellow players that you’re a complete monster is something we call the “slow cooker”: First, grab a little newcomer on the Alliance or Horde side. Beggars are best suited for this, who will celebrate their big return due to the scarce gold economy in WoW Classic. If you don’t have a beggar at hand, you can make one yourself: simply promise a newbie to give him enough gold for his mount if he duels with you. There is a high probability that your counterpart thinks that he is making a good deal. You let off steam on a newcomer and he gets the much-needed money for it. Unfortunately, your fellow players don’t know that you are a sadistic monster. Are you looking for a duel place? where one of the numerous fire bowls represented in WoW Classic is standing around – if you really want to humiliate your opponent, you choose the marketplace. Then you start the duel and use the lowest possible level spells, because the different skill levels are one of the many troll advantages of old WoW. Do not defeat your duel partner, but only lower his life energy as much as possible. Then you use mind control, stand in the fire bowl and let your opponent burn. He loses the duel, is roasted down to a life point, which then goes through the fire. Enjoy his burned corpse with a glass of Chianti and his whine with some cheese. Hannibal Lecter would be proud of you!

Of murder, fraud and other jokes

We hope that with this article we have been able to make two things clear to you. First, we are practically WoW Dementors; absolute monsters who eat up the happiness and joy of those around them. Second, when WoW Classic hits the servers, many players will come to Azeroth assuming that WoW Classic is similar to the live version, except that you level up longer and there is no dungeon browser. Nothing could be further from the truth. If all goes as it seems, players on the Classic servers will get to experience a real piece of WoW history – along with the uncertainty, wild action, and rampaging trolls we fought back in the day. That’s not a bad thing, of course, because a bit of danger adds to the enjoyment and we’re all a bit smarter than we were fifteen years ago. Despite everything, it’s going to be a bumpy ride, and you’ll decide whether to use your newly acquired knowledge to benefit your teammates or destroy them. And if you’re eager to try the above tactics, remember: nothing tastes sweeter than troll tears. We wish you a good hunt.
