  1. Flat increase to HP is not a solution. The mechanics are the challenge combined with gear checks. Once you have the mechanics down, it does not matter whether we buff the boss to have 200% HP because the only thing that changes is the duration of the fight. Yes, a tiny chance that a raider will fail something exists but generally it will just mean that raids stack more consumables and more efficient classes. Currently guilds do not need to optimize their raids to the max nor does every raider need to be a min-maxer - as long as they have BWL gear and learn the mechanics, they can clear most of AQ40. If we increase trash and/or mob HP, it can, in the extreme, lead to a situation where people have to raid with 2 characters, for example a hunter for those bosses where tranq shot is needed and a fire mage for everything else. The real reason why raids have been easy on other private servers and, admittedly on Nostalrius launch, has been problems with implementing correct mechanics and abilities. Many guilds had a nasty surprise with Ragnaros when Anathema (re-)launched and his did his Magma Blast as often as he was supposed to. It was fun to see guilds, who had had MC on farm for months, suddenly struggle or even wipe at Rag because of that. Pre-nerf AQ40 does not mean that we were going to go overboard with buffing the stats of trash and bosses. It meant that we aimed to bring the original version of AQ40 that Blizzard did, minus the unkillable tentacles issue, while having Ouro and C'thun encounters have the stats that they originally did. There were very few sources for this information but the QA team did a fantastic job teasing out information from 240p videos and so on. Don't be confused. Not every boss in AQ40 is supposed to be a massive challenge. Nevertheless, I would seriously contest that claim. Few examples: Reign took 418 sec to kill Ouro, 532 sec to kill Twin Emps, 193 sec to kill Bug Trio, 67 sec to kill Viscidus and 135 sec to kill Skeram. They had 839 deaths and did not kill C'thun despite multiple attempts. Entitled took 672 sec to kill Twin Emps, 135 sec to kill Huhuran, 298 sec to kill Fankriss, 217 sec to kill Sartura, 230 sec to kill Bug Trio and 374 sec to kill Skeram. They had 295 death and did not even attempt C'thun. Dominate the Palace took 150 sec to kill Huhuran, 389 sec to kill Sartura, 275 sec to kill Bug Trio and 338 sec to kill Skeram. They had 270 deaths. Drachensturm took 325 sec to kill Twin Emps, 224 sec to kill Bug Trio, 86 sec to kill Viscidus, 198 sec to kill Huhuran, 171 sec to kill Fankriss, 283 sec to kill Sartura and amazing 2356 sec to kill Skeram (probably Realmplayers bugged on that one). They had 383 kills. Echo took 189 sec to kill Huhuran, 148 sec to kill Fankriss, 432 sec to kill Sartura, 194 sec to kill Bug Trio and 621 sec to kill Skeram. They had 366 deaths. Please do not post complete nonsense that raids are killing bosses under a minute. Nothing has been killed in AQ40 that fast and the progress guilds are making comes at the cost of hundreds and hundreds of deaths. All the raids quoted above had between 39 to 41 raiders according to Realmplayers and literally every one of those guilds has had months and months and months to farm BWL on Nostalrius as well as four additional months of MC+BWL farm on Anathema before stepping into AQ. Some of them have gear from world bosses as well. Many of them have practiced on their own private servers thanks to our core being open source now. @DaHealz I don't understand what you expected or what you want, especially as you are completely ignorant of the reality of the current raiding scene. I personally monitored majority of the raids that went into AQ40 in the first two days of opening and intend to monitor as many as I can during the weekend and next week. I haven't seen a single one just breezing through content. AQ40 is more challenging than BWL but it was never meant to be impossible, aside from C'thun and our Old God is very challenging as well.

    Idol of the Moon (Anathema)

    Don't buy it. They will be removed and your gold will not be reimbursed.

    Multilogin?

    You can play 2 characters that are on separate accounts simultaneously as long as they are on different realms. There are no other alternatives. We do not transfer characters between accounts or realms.

    Every addon enabling when I log in

    Is your WoW client under Program Files?
  6. World PvP is for cool and spontaneous fights. We are evaluating the PvP scene constantly as well as different options but we cannot just randomly implement changes to mechanics that are extremely important to a large segment of our playerbase.

    Honor

    An unfortunate bug with Honor calculations on Elysium, which will be fixed in due time.

    how to create a new account here?

    Yes, I understand that. There can sometimes be a delay with the emails. The only thing you can do is wait 60 minutes between attempts and then resend. If after multiple tries that does not work, you could try with a different email provider. Gmail is usually the most reliable.

    We are aware of the issue and are working to fix it.

    Low level battlegrounds not working.

    They do work but only if enough players sign up for them.

    how to create a new account here?

    Wait 60 minutes. If no email arrives, go to control panel on the website and resend it.

    AQ40 server first

    To put things into perspective: I'm sure Coalition made their own server using our open source core and practiced hard. By the time they felled C'thun, another guild that had entered AQ40 roughly 30 minutes behind them, was still struggling with Prophet Skeram. I am very interested to see how the situation evolves as more and more guilds venture into the Temple. I do not expect many guilds to repeat what Coalition and Dreamstate achieved.

    Enchanting + ______ ?

    Skinning. You're going to be killing a lot of beasts, so skinning them and selling the leather somewhat offsets the costs of training enchanting.

    Regeneration after rezzing?

    It is a bug, we are aware of it and it will be fixed soon.
  16. Benass is wise beyond his post count. Follow his advice.
  17. No, font changes are allowed and are safe.
  18. Please report this issue in our Bug tracker, with screenshots if possible. Include your character name and realm you play on, so that admins can take a look at your character file.
  19. It's not something that you accidentally do. General rule of thumb is that if something seems too good to be true, then it most likely is. You can always make an in-game ticket for GMs and ask for advice in an unclear situation.

    Herb spawn rate

    This has been fixed.
  21. Cross-realm BGs are not possible without clustering system.
  22. If you find a source that proves that the stones "respawn" faster, please post it in our Bug Tracker.
  23. Please report this issue in our Bug Tracker.
  24. At this time there is no reason to block GDKP. Our player base is large enough that people have options - GDKP is not the only way to get raid loot.
