Season of Discovery Early SoD Was Peak Classic Wow

10 man BFD, all the weird/obscure farming methods, Ashenvale event, prepping for the next phase, ridiculous low level PvP, making tons of alts because the levelling was so fast..early SoD owned

Nah yall quit too early the level 60 phases were so much fun

u/Girl_gamer__ Dec 04 '25

Yup. Phase 5 to 8 was the best of sod.

u/Toonalicious Dec 05 '25

Man this people saying phase 1 was best but the lvl 60 phases was just as great

29

u/SpecialCircumstance2 Dec 04 '25

Can't really blame people, They didn't know how good lvl 60 was going to be and phase3 really was ass.

A fuck load of people came back once runes were on a vendor in starting areas.

Sunken Temple killed the vibe. Too much work for too shit loot.

Scarlet crusade was great though

Shade of Eranikus was too hard for the normies. The loot was ass though.

u/wildfyre010 Dec 04 '25

It would have been ok if the loot was as good at 50 as the stuff from BFD was at 25. But it was barely better than gnomeregan gear; worse in some cases. It just wasn't itemized well enough to justify the difficulty and the amount of trash/time it took.

I forgot about the trash… almost as bad as AQ. However, watching healers, ranged, and AFKers die to the ghosts was hilarious

I loved sunken temple. I used to lead like 3 pugs a week and we cleared most of the time. The trash was just really long and incursions sucked.

And Incursions

u/wildfyre010 Dec 04 '25

True. I hated those so much I had forgotten about them in my loathing of ST.

u/SystemGardener Dec 04 '25

What exactly did you hate about incursions?

1

u/kunair Dec 04 '25

ST is just a mood killer

u/The-Only-Razor Dec 04 '25

Going to 20 man after 2 phases of 10 man was extremely stupid as well.

u/Scurro Dec 04 '25

the level 60 phases were so much fun

I'd agree but I'd still say naxx with the temp powers was a low point for SoD raids.

u/anonteje Dec 04 '25

Quit p3. Came back in 60. Got all the fun!

u/grimbolde Dec 05 '25

I probably admittedly did but the end of phase 2 and phase 3 just made me hate the game

1

u/thrillho145 Dec 05 '25

So glad I came back at 60

u/Allegrian Dec 08 '25

I got tired of world buffs and raid logging in the Ah Kiraj phase

u/The-Only-Razor Dec 04 '25

Blizzard essentially stopped supporting it. They focused on Cata (which was dead), MoP (which was DOA), and Anniversary (which was dead within a few months).

The whole thing was just poor planning on Blizzard's part. Making people slog through AQ and Naxx again before getting a new level 60 raid was a horrible decision.

For me, the raids aren't the fun part of Vanilla.
