As it is based on the last vanilla patch, I imagine that AV already had it's nerfs done to it? If so, that is a big negative for me.

You may want to check out the Rebirth thread. I think one of the files offered by the facebook post has some links to mac client vanilla files. Don't quote me on that though because I don't have a mac.

Ah. Didn't want to assume it was the same client.

Hmmm. Still cannot track down a reliable mac client download. All I have in my old external drive is 5 installer tomes and installer app. Doesn't seem to want to do anything beyond trying to patch to MoP.

Is there a level requirement to speak in guild chat, or am I experiencing bugginess?

Dicking around as a Dwarf Warrior right now, but not sure whether I'm gonna stick with this or not. Apparently several of the leveling instances are broken? That was kinda my favorite part of vanilla WoW so if that's true it's kinda disappointing.

What instances? I agree that leveling in instances was fun (and profitable)

Found out that just like on Rebirth, the boats dump you into deep water after transition (loving mac bug IIRC). Something that no vanilla server admins feel warrants captain placeholder apparently.

levelling is painful,

True that. That said, if we could get a consistant timeslot where we could have groups chain-instance-running, it would go a bit quicker. I am running my little gnome legs off to catch up with a leveling group. I have yet to party with a guildy, but my friends list is growing with non-goons. leveling solo is a big suck.

I really wish they would, I never got the chance to play AV in vanilla and I always hoped I would have a chance to.

The changelog has some interesting buffs and changes. It is ridiculously long but halfway through I haven't seen anything about what iteration of AV it is based on. No mention of minefields, Korrak or shredders.

Keetron posted:


edit: Wait, do I understand correctly there already is AV? That would be my main reason to get to 60 asap!

Will be in the future at some point. Single-server AV (BGs in general) were great because you got to know the enemy, and folks couldn't randomly AFK their way to free honor.

Every time I play this, I am amazed it works. Some guys sat down, took apart the client and created a server for the client to talk to and that guys build this server in their spare time and they now run it for free.

No way in hell I will complain about bugs, if only out of respect for their effort.

Who's complaining? Just noticing that the entity with arguably the more resources is less polished than a relatively small band of folks.

Ha sorry, its just a windows executable. According to it, the login server has been down for about 50 minutes, and the realm server has been up for the past hour. So I suppose that means that the server was brought down/crashed and the login server is currently not online or reachable.

Also, you've seriously never used a windows computer? :)

e: Realized you probably just hadn't seen the 7z extension before, its another type of zip/rar/tar/whatever archive thing. I am much less shocked now, my bad.

Yeah, the extension threw me off. Odd that feenix doesn't have a server status thingimabob on their site.

The good part about a DDOS attack now and then is that it reminds me I have things to do.

Ain't that the truth. The only real frustrating thing for me, is that it always seems to occur just as I am starting an instance run.

I didn't start until after BC's release; was there any actual content difference in the lower levels between vanilla and BC, or was it just class changes and the addition of Outland?

TBC rendered everything >L58 (gearwise) absolutely worthless. Pretty much anything you strove for, accomplished, poopsocked for in vanilla was replaced in the very first outland zone. It also introduced the hallway dungeons.

This server is amusing. world pvp is alive and well. Although I don't care much for people making level 1 alts to message you after you killed them.

A level 22 hunter came to red ridge today to gank people while i was skinning things on my 33 Warrior.



I proceeded to kill him 5 more times before I got bored and hearthed back.

I was getting a bit frustrated with the number of times I've been attacked/ganked mid fight with a mob. Usually by horde 5 or greater levels above me. Today it was all wiped away as a horde priest and I put aside our differences and cleared out Thunder Axe Fortress so we could get poo poo done. A time for everything.

Some horde are cool like that. I've had my share of peaceful encounters for sure. I just cant ever fathom why some one would take the time to go really far out of their way to grief people repeatedly. I cant play like that. I just want to be 60.

I love my PvP, but there is just something that really shits on my gameplay; when enemies choose to fight you when you are in the middle of a fight with mob(s). Only second to the ones who attack you who are being babby sat by a L60.

edit: I need a warlock and summoner aid alts on different accounts so I can bypass the mac boat bug.
Unless we have a guild account for summons already set up?

We do need more healers, but if you dislike healing then don't do it just for that reason.

Would rather have a steady dps that sticks around, rather than a healer that burns out because they never liked healing to begin with.

Healing is enjoyable for me. Until DPS grabs too much aggro, causes a wipe, and the healer gets blamed. :feelsgood:

Bad DPSers make healers look bad and cause healers to burn out.
