Trying to do this Rhok'Delar quest right now is the most obnoxious thing I've ever tried to do in video games in many years. Somebody tell these rogues that Kargath is better honor/time

Sure. I rejected groups too for that reason. It's another reason why the honor system is an abortion. Granting honor from PKs is far too exploitable/abusable/gameable. Honor should be granted from objectives only; and those objectives should force PvP. If BGs result in the top gainers doing...

The top standing alliance on my server is a rogue that suicide kills AFK horde in Kargath all day long. Such great design. Putting the honor in honor kill right there.

:emoji_cry: Classic EQ is still my favorite game ever. Fuck the visions of modern games. Brad's 'make shit hard' vision suited me well. He must have gotten a lot of pushback on that too. Respect.

Bets on BGs being released early like Dire Maul?

That bad hunter is using a pet We had up to 10 in raid at one point last night and failed to kill her

I tried hard to get us to go 2 box at the start but was overruled. It's long been a regret that I didn't argue harder. Secrets and I would like to see a 1 box TAKP server but we simply don't want to administrate it. Particularly the box policing part of it which requires a large time...

Well as I said, I had already stopped using it because I was uncertain. I figured this board would know as you guys have a lot of hunters. People keep saying Ony is not about DPS yet I also keep hearing healers say 'I'm OOM dps faster'. Seen enough wipes at a sliver of hp to motivate me into...

I got a newbie raider question: Does Onyxia's tail whip knock hunter pets into the whelp caves? We've had whelps seemingly from nowhere in phase 1 and I've had my pet weirdly deaggro somehow during that phase so I stopped using it; however I've not visibly noticed the pet being knocked away...

If you want authentic, play without mousewheel camera. Item links are a mid Luclin addition

Hah, well I've been a member of this community far longer than I've been working on TAKP, so I feel inclined to speak my mind here. Was only intended to be a little bit of friendly rivalry. Certainly they could point out stuff about our server as well. I took a break for Classic WoW. I'm...

Didn't help. I have FRAPS running to see frame rate. When it happens the frame rate number in the corner drops to 45 from 50 briefly, so the micro freezes lower the average. Definitely not in our heads. It's mostly a problem because it results in my ending up in random directions when I try...

Anybody else getting hitching/micro freezes/sutters with this client? It's really depressing my desire to play here. Tried two different machines and fresh Titanium install.

I killed Azshara Timbermaw for exp

Haynar and Secrets do. It's way over my head. I can write a mean Lua script though

The reason why our client used to have issues with the alt key sticking when alt-tabbing is because we're using the actual client for the era which had disabled alt-tabbing out the game, consumed all of the machine's resources, locked the mouse cursor to the game, uses DirectX 8 etc. Working...

I used to do this all the time throughout BC and Wrath. Losing on purpose for welfare epics and to work on my arena addon. If this results in bans now then Blizzard really has become a shit company.

Amusing considering that a certain popular WoW developer has used this account when the raid lacked healers and my friend couldn't log in Does nobody box their friend's accounts anymore to know if Blizzard seriously gives a fuck nowadays? I had login info for like 20 of my EQ guildmates back...

Is anybody familiar with Blizzard's account sharing policy? I used to box my friend's priest in 2005 to AoE with. Now I'd like to box his account to reset Maraudon instances and maybe get some dungeon loot for his lower level character while he's at work. Also noteworthy: he's out of country...

I really really wish some guide or post or something had told me to tame a cat in Swamp of Sorrows in my 30s and level with it to 60. Although I love my owl and would prefer to use that for PvE, but leveling pets is just such a retardedly harsh time sink. I've had levels where I leveled faster...

Yeah, trying to find good info is difficult because the game has so many versions now. I'm not certain if 4.3% is correct (I did say 'apparently' in my post) but I got that number from here: A recent Blizzard post (link is in the reddit post) mentioned that there is a hidden penalty if weapon...

What's sad is that all these BIS lists created by WoW emu kids are so wrong to begin with and people blindly follow them like GPS errors making people drive off cliffs. If hunters roll on your Hand of Justices and Dal'Rends, thank the emu kids. Wowhead's drop down menu at the top of all pages...

5 weeks after launch and vendor sold recipes are going for 40g in AH with the vendor perma camped by 3+ people around it on my server. Azshara satyrs camped by half a dozen people well after midnight. Felcloth going for upwards of 3g each. Gonna get fun when layers are shut off and more...

God did I notice that farming whirlwind axe tusks at level 30 solo

What Blizzard needs to do, and soon, is code up a guild move feature that guarantees everybody with the tag gets to move. The reason why people don't move is because of guilds. They could also add some conveniences like allowing people to reserve names by making new characters on the transfer...

Regarding Feralas: also my favorite zone. Gnolls are a fantastic grind for Horde players (reavers and mystics). I sat there from level 40 to 46 having done maybe a dozen quests in that span. It was just too good to leave if a bit mind numbing. There are a lot of them and Alliance generally...

Two weeks in, every quest I go to in my 40s is being done by at least one other person and usually several. Queues still in the thousands. Server is so overpopulated it makes grinding WAY better than questing and makes me mad when I even attempt to quest after grinding for hours. This is on...

Oh so they grace them with a response but when I email them about Preform I get nothing back? Gee thanks

EQ's design was in large part copied from text based MUDs-- particularly Sojourn, which I had played some as a teenager-- and that's why it was so good. EQ wasn't good because of corporate Sony geniuses. The best gameplay typically stems from indies and modders. WoW of course heavily borrowed...

Not a bad video overall, but the first two minutes are hilarity from a WoW kid. "Nobody grouped because people sucked at video games back then!" "Terms like CC and healer were uncommon!" "Get gear while leveling in dungeons! How Novel!" "The game is much more enjoyable leveling with other...

I would agree that developers should spend some time playing their own game. If the developers are overworked and this prevents it, then the blame can be placed on the managers who are reducing the quality of their product. Frankly game developers allow themselves to be exploited far too much...

I do a lot of development work, so I hate rebooting and leave my machine unrebooted for roughly 2 months at a time. The only problem I have is explorer.exe which has a memory leak somewhere and can get up to 10gigs or whatever. Firefox used to give me a lot of issues but not recently. I have...

I've left machines on 24/7 since I still used a 386 for a BBS. It's not unreasonable to expect software to function properly when left running for weeks.

I'm still bitter over them hiding server locations then offering free server transfers to servers on the other side of the continent. And Blizzard wanted WoW to be some big esports hit when they show zero concern for how this affects PvPers? My latency went from 15ms to 150-200ms on the BDF...

My video card died over 2 months ago, so I'm using a fanless Geforce GT 610 that I bought in 2012 for $35 (before a $25 rebate, so cost me $10) while I wait for 5700 partner cards to launch. I get ~22 FPS in Thunder Bluff in modern WoW with players around me. Classic with features turned down...

I recall using scatter + trap to aimed shot people but apparently that won't be a thing in Classic either. But as somebody who spends a lot of time researching an old game, I have to say that memory is too faulty to base conclusions on

I wrote a long post (I still have this on my disk actually; I was told that developers had discussed it at a meeting) on the old WoW beta boards before launch in 2004 regarding fury warriors which included that I was wearing too much leather because DPS plate was not common enough. This ain't...

I was merely clarifying an off-hand comment that people were taking out of context or misinterpreting. TLDR I don't like spoilers much? Of course a MMORPG can't seriously be made with zero spoiling, I'm not making that argument. I just said that 2019 WoW is not going to be quite as fun as...

I said that a large amount of 'spoiling' (subjectively) harms (or objectively, alters significantly) the game experience-- not just speed leveling, but that's part of it, and illustrative of it. When there are google sheets that tell you exactly what gear to get and where to get it at what...

I'm not working right now. I have plenty of time. I'm just not going to spend it trying to compete with a bunch of neckbeards who think getting level 60 in 3 days is some great accomplishment. A lot of people commented on Beta's progressive level caps as being a positive thing. It's a...
