It's come to my attention that some people haven't been getting the full use out of their Rat Catcher's Flutes (see this post if you don't have one yet). To unlock its full trolling potential, you must make the following macro (requires the SuperMacro addon, look in the zips upthread):

code:
/script SpellStopCasting();
/use Rat Catcher's Flute
Now you can spam the gently caress out of that flute.

And people were complaining that we rolled Alliance...

EDIT: I made a better macro! This one doesn't have "out of range" errors. It uses the flute on yourself, then switches back to your target.

code:
/script t=UnitName("target");
/script TargetUnit("player");
/script SpellStopCasting();
/use Rat Catcher's Flute
/script TargetByName(t);

You're not really flute spamming until you have 5 multiboxed characters doing it at once.

So I got the flute and it says I am out of range. I remember they nerfed it but does that macro fix it?

Reminds me of the trolling my buddy and I did in WotLK with the train set and dropping it as we were buffing to pull the boss. Then they nerfed it by making it an emote when you placed it.

Don't target anyone and you should be able to use it at will. If you have a target, you can only use it while next to them. Also, if you're too lazy to use a macro, if you turn your back to the target you can spam the button the same way since it will keep interrupting the cast.

Bongos is good, nice and customisable and has options for 'stance paging'. It lets you turn bars 1-3 into bars 4-7 (for example) when you enter a stance or druid form. Then you can make the real 4-7 invisible and your ability buttons just magically change when you shapeshift or change your stance.

Thanks! Does it have a nice options window? I have so many mods on that I don't know how to configure.

Yeah that's probably the best thing about it, it has a nice usable main window (accessed by typing /bongos) and a right click options menu for every hotbar (IIRC). A lot of the other action bar mods are customised entirely using slash commands which... well, gently caress that.

In regard to unit frames, same as what above person said, CTMod, its what I use, there are a few other mods with the same functionality but you get a tiny ToT frame similar to the official one Bliz added in later patches, I like CTMod cause you get a fullsize ToT frame.

Swing timer, there is an addon called attackbar, it's not pretty, but it works.

Well regular WoW isn't doing it for me, so I'm up for giving this a try just to see if the vanilla grind was as painful as the bitter vets make it out to be. Any particular class you need, or can I roll a human mage?

If I recall correctly they reduced the time it takes to level by ~30% in 1.12 to help people get to 60 before BC which is a huge deal because there is literally not enough quests in vanilla WoW to get you 1-60 pre EXP nerf without either A) staking out an area to everquest-style grind mobs for dozens of hours until you're appropriate level for the next quest hub or B) doing the same thing but with running dungeons over and over again. I almost lost my mind solo grinding most of 50-60 after quickly completing the hilariously few quests available - this was when silithus was 95% not there and had like 2 quests. For most people on their first character (i.e. you're not following some power level guide) it took 15-20 days of /played to get there. I still remember it took me 23 days of /played for my first 60 at launch and I wasn't dicking around at all, just trying to hit 60 asap. Keep in mind until late vanilla there were no mods to tell you how to do quests/where the objectives are. You literally had to read the quest text carefully and make an educated guess of where the objective might be. There was thottbot and later WoWhead but they weren't always perfectly accurate.

They also added tons of flight paths throughout vanilla making leveling much faster. And gold inflation made getting a mount at level 40 (the vanilla mount level requirement) very doable which saves tons of time. The classic vanilla hallmark was seeing people well into their 50s who still couldn't afford a level 40 mount. And holy poo poo it took forever pre-gold inflation to get an epic mount. You were truly a poopsock lord or a shrewd AH/crafting jew if you had one. Welp I just had a :bittervet: rant moment.

Actually there were mods that told you where to go for questing. There were even some that would run you to where you wanted to go so you didn't have to. Those were eventually banned.

I also disagree with it being difficult to get an epic mount. I never farmed and had two epic mounts before the price nerf. I suppose I did raid a lot, and never died because I played a rogue. Regardless, assuming you didn't frivolously spend your gold on gear you'll replace almost immediately, you could get your epic mount after a month of being level capped.

Sometimes I feel like I played a different game than some people in these threads.

I should really start leveling someone on this server. I've been neglecting it for too long. My old vanilla guild recently got together on Facebook and we've been discussing some kind of reunion raid on an instant 60 server, but some have expressed interest in playing legitimately. We'll see.

Maybe we're talking about different time frames of vanilla. I agree, after 6 months to a year gold inflation picked up to the point where getting an epic mount was easy. But during the early months of the game where stacks of thorium sold for 4g and t1 bracers/belts for <150g on the AH it was very hard. I remember barely anyone having epic mounts and most people not being able to afford regular mounts until level 45+. Maybe it was because I played on a small population server and gold inflation was lower.

Nope. I had one of mine before the texture change, and one a month and a half after. On a low population server. Obviously anecdotal, but I thought the initial epic mount price with gold flow was very appropriate. What I didn't like was the AV epic mounts. I thought that trivialized the reward of having an epic mount. Actually, battlegrounds trivialized a lot of the game.

I just farmed the snot out for essence of water. Got my mount pre model change, and still regret updating the model from the old one. The best part of having a pre model change mount is that most people thought you had a standard mount and could catch you on their epic, but when they tried they couldn't.

Just going to bump our thread here with another advertisement for our guild forums. Berzelius (aka Avogadro, the cool scientifically-named non-goon(?) from way back from Rebirth-way) made a nice post today about the status of Emerald Dream's MC implementation, and how we probably have the numbers to start clearing trash and downing a few bosses. So if you haven't checked out the guild site, forums, or bank yet, hit them up sometime! You can even request items from the bank on your phone! Any of the above links will have the guild MOTD mirrored from in-game. So, if you wanna see if any cool raids/events are coming up without having to fire up WoW, just check the site.

I don't mean to be a bother. It just seems like this stuff is not clearly announced anywhere (OP, in-game guild info, etc., :wink:), and I think it is all pretty neat.
