Was able to finally log in this morning, after some weird errors. About 2 minutes later, got disconnected and now the server refuses connection.

Is this a sign to go back to Rebirth?

Weird, I haven't had any issue all day today.

Logged off a few times and got right back on without an issue.

Are some of you guys online right now, like it's just the log-in server?

Or is it totally down?

TheGreySpectre posted:

I tried to register and that was down as well, so it's not just you. I imagine they are having network problems or something. For the people who play regularly, how often does the server have issues with login?


Supposedly it has been pretty solid for the past several months, but ever since I started about 2 weeks ago it's been flaky as hell.

Seems to work fine during Euro prime time and works like poo poo during US prime time. If you can find a window where the log-in server is up long enough to log in, then it's fine and you stay connected, but finding those windows is getting more and more difficult.

Before I put any time in a Warrior, is falling through the world with Charge as big of a problem as it is on other private servers?

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)

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

This place is definitely buggier and less stable than Rebirth was, but gently caress it there are actually people around.

I'm thinking about getting into this, as I never raided or even got to max level when I originally played vanilla. Are more healers needed for the raids? I was thinking of playing a warlock but I could also play a priest if that's what is needed.

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.

Really? I never enjoyed dual wielding as a warrior (never felt like I did enough dmg) but didn't think 2Handing fury was a viable option.

It is a close call with everything working correctly, but on this server slam is bugged & you can abuse it & do like 50% more dps than intended.

Touchdown Boy posted:

ps Dual wielding fury warriors can outdps rogues with the right gear.

True up to BWL, but once you start getting near full BWL gear, warrior dps hits the threat cap and plateaus.

Looking at getting started on this server, my only concern is that I've done this dance before and this would be the fourth vanilla server I've rolled on. The community died on the previous 3, is there any guarantee the same won't quickly happen to this one?

I wouldn't say "guarantee", but it definitely feels like a more long term project than the previous servers I've played on.

Alright, so raid turnout today was iffy, likely due to confusion on which day the raid was actually held, so next week the raid will be on SATURDAY at 2PM EST as before. We will also, starting from the week after, hold an additional raid night, this being on Wednesday 5/8 at 8PM EST.

Please show up.


We are finally at the point where we have more than 40 active level 60s (who have logged in in the past 7 days). Granted some of those are alts, but we are real close.

At this point it's just a matter of turnout. We have the numbers & class balance that we really shouldn't have any problems.

Did it just take a while to get everyone organized?

Well, we went for Lucifron first, but people accidentally pulled him twice in a row, and he reset his position in a strange spot where there were imps.

After that we pretty much went straight over to Gehennas & killed him without any issue.

Had enough time to kill Baron Geddon, but I think we had people in the raid that weren't familiar with how the bomb works, & blew up half the raid, etc. By the time everyone understood, we were missing 3 healers & a bunch of dps.



All in all not a bad run compared to our previous efforts, but it would've been nice to kill all 3 Luci / Gehennas / Geddon.

It is just the opposite - being in a party splits the experience you get. This is why people powerleveling alts refrain from grouping their characters.

I think it's technically supposed to still have a bonus.

Like if you have two equal level characters, and you kill a mob that does X experience points, then each character will get X/1.5 or something like that, instead of X/2.

Good run.

We were able to kill Luci, Gehennas, and Baron.



Next week we're going to hopefully have 3 Tranq shots in the raid, so the plan is to go straight for Luci / Mag, and get rid of the goddamn dog respawns.

That will hopefully make the rest of the place a bit easier.



Someone was also saying that Feenix is upgrading the server this weekend, so with a little luck we'll have a more stable server too.

Yup good run guys, first-try kills on Magmadar and Garr (We had never tried either of them in previous raids).

Normally both of those have a bit of learning curve, so that's not shabby at all. So that's 5/10 MC bosses.

I think that next week we can hopefully add Shazzrah and Golemagg onto that list in the same amount of instance time (2.5-3 hrs).




We were discussing possibly trying a 2nd night, to see how it goes, see how many show up, etc. No matter what day we pick we'll lose some number of people and pick up some others, that's just how it goes.

General idea, I think, would be Wednesday = MC bosses on farm, and the following Monday (maybe) would be Onyxia plus MC progression content / eventually BWL, etc.

Stay tuned & someone will mention for sure if we're going to try it. Or the GMOTD.
