I had the same problem as well. What, can the server just not handle the traffic?

Sucks 'cause I was in a group for Deadmines, and I'm sure it looked like I bailed. If you're reading this, sorry Nah :(

PvP server.

I'm not sure what's been released content wise. They're taking a tiered progression of releases with content, similar to what it was like with vanilla. I think DM just opened up, not sure though. I'm only level 20 at the moment so I haven't been following end game stuff too closely.

And Ive probably forgotten how long it takes to level in vanilla, I remember doing a lot of grinding so it could all be different by the time I hit 60.

Minimap Tracking Alerts - AutoHotkey Script
Basically this script generates visual and audio alerts based on what colors show up in your minimap. I'll try to give a general explanation of what this does in case any of you weirdos want to use it. The main purposes of the script is to allow you to wander around looking for gathering nodes while you watch TV and alert you to dudes/herbs/veins sneaking up to you on the minimap.

The AutoHotkey application is basically a script interpreter that gives you access to a lot of basic windows / macro functionality. This script in particular takes the follow actions:
  • Prompts you to select the location of your minimap by holding down the left mouse button and dragging over the minimap area. I'm unsure if this script will work if you play in fullscreen because of this step.
  • Loops every 250ms checking for four colors (red/yellow/underground) in the selected area. These color values are stored in hex at the top of the script. If they don't work for you, you can try changing them, or post a screenshot of your minimap here and I'll look at it.
    code:
    ; Pixel color values used to search for matching nodes (RGB hex format)
    redColor = 0xD80201
    darkRedColor = 0x950201
    yellowColor = 0xF8C008
    darkYellowColor = 0xAF8605
    
  • If a node is detected a beep (played through windows sound in the mixer) will go off periodically and a big crappy red text alert appears in the center of the screen. The alert can be clicked through. If you want to turn off either of these actions comment out (put a semi-colon at the start) the following lines:
    code:
    Gui, Show, NoActivate ;alert text
    SoundBeep, 600,800 ; beeping
    

  • Pressing F11 or F12 will turn off yellow node tracking / red node tracking respectfully.
  • If you are a hunter and Hunter's Mark is causing the script to beep at you uncomment the following lines and change the 5 to the hotkey you use for Hunter's Mark.
    code:
    ; Change the two instances of '5' below to your hunters mark hotkey (or remove entirely)
    ; $5::
    ; huntersMark = 1
    ; SetTimer, waitHuntersMark, 2500
    ; Send 5
    ; return
    



Files needed:
Download and install AutoHotkey, then double-click on weird-nodes.ahk to run the script. The script shows up as a green/red 'A' icon in the system tray.

If you wait until its released you'll have to level all the way to 60 and get geared up before you can AV. If you roll now you can just jump right in on the first weekend. You could be the first.

I do not have a warrior, but I have not heard anyone complain about it. Mage blink on the other hand... However, they make up for it with some ridiculous clear casting that causes all of their spells to be mana free for 12 seconds or something like that.

It's not terrible here, but you do fall through the world occasionally.

I've probably fallen through the world 10 times so far, at level 46.

Every time except once, it was an area where there was a cave beneath. Only once that I fell through with nothing beneath, and had to spirit res.

(That's one thing that was nicer on Rebirth... when you fell through the world there, it would try to put you back)

Did wailing caverns with some friends last weekend. Boy when stuff glitches it sure loving does when you spend 3 hours clearing something.

I've also ran into a whole bunch of invisible monsters where they either don't spawn until you're on top of them or they're spawned underground.

Not gonna stop me from playing though.

Not really, since we've got a grand total of two level 60 players at the moment. I think I've seen a crapload of warlocks though, so maybe don't roll one of those.

With the exception of maybe hunter i dont think we have more than 3 people over 40 on any class, so just play whatever you enjoy. Or you could even dual box like some people do. Not that i have any idea how that is done.

Hard to level and sorta boring before 40, extremely gear-dependent (though goons are awesome and will hook you up, thanks again to my sugar daddy George and the man I totally didn't cheat on him with, Arroyo), weapon skill, charge is guaranteed to land you underground if there's a cave beneath you, plate repair bills, overplayed before 40.

Basically if you can make it to 40 you're probably good and will enjoy it. Fortunately most Warriors burn out long before then, dramatically increasing your chance to get gear and groups.

I would say paladins are currently the class we need most, maybe followed by druids.

At least half of the paladins who made it over level 30 seem to have stopped playing.

I played warrior since release, and I completely forgot about weapon skills. Strangely enough...I want to do it even more now.

If I actually manage to download and set this up without loving it up completely, all should be well.
