    Talisman of Binding Shard?

    Yup, they flushed a 1 of a kind tank item right down the toilet. Then they bragged about it on the forum at the time. It was amusing to later see them crying up a storm in their countless walls of texts when they stormed out of the server like an angry child.

    Talisman of Binding Shard?

    Newer realms should drop it at least once, if they're following a timeline and trying to be Blizzlike.

    Can it run Vanilla?

    Now that's a committed raider... as for my own build, I don't have a fancy camera, but I doubt anyone is going to fuss over an aging 3770k with a R9 380x slotted next to it. I was happy enough to finally get a 1080p monitor last month, because for a long while, I used a 16x10, which has now replaced my secondary, which wasn't that big. My advice now days is if you're building a machine, get a SSD for your OS drive. HDs are already obsolete, and SSDs finally have good sizes for their costs.
  4. This isn't possible unless the forum account is linked to the game account, which it isn't, in the structure that private servers use. You can however just upload whatever icon you want. Nost used to have a stickied thread for old retail icons, which you could then set for yourself, whichever one you wanted to use. I can't find the thread anymore though, so I'd just suggest searching for something to use.
  5. We'll probably get queue locked on the first day haha if they enforce one. But they need to, if not right away, then soon when a new realm can open. Perhaps they could let it go at launch, then set it later alongside the launch of a new realm. But either way, many players or whole guilds would move. 2 or more realms at 7x each=win. 15k=попа.
  6. What's sad is that after this video was made, things got even worse. With the introduction of flying mounts EVERYWHERE, PVP was forever ruined. While flying mounts did exist in BC and WK; you could only do it at max level, and in those zones. Their damage was kept to a minimum. With Cata however brought the ability to do it EVERYWHERE, meaning decent PVP could no longer be found, not even in Azeroth anymore. City raids being ruined is perhaps the worst part. City raiding is something that should have been brought back, with kings given decent drops, not just "achievements". Achievements are among the worst things put in the game. They have replaced everything as the reward for challenges and accomplishes. In the old days, you had real rewards, such as hard to obtain equipment other players would never obtain (ie Thunderfury). Now, anyone can easily get anything gear wise, and skilled players must seek out extra challenge which is no longer necessary, and only rewards you with achievement "points". Getting max achievement points, which don't do anything, are the last thing in the game which require any effort or skill. In the old days, this effort or skill was at the fore front to get anything.
  7. It's just in the news again because it's... news. (Imagine that?) News is all about clickbaiting off whatever hot topic they can find every week. It's exactly what happened before, and a month later, Nost was forgotten about. Most channels who even claimed to support us, went on to play Legion, and didn't bother to even buy a Nost tshirt for Blizzcon. A month from now, we'll be forgotten about again. They're just clickbait. They want views and clicks, and will throw up anything to get it. But you can see how few really care because most channels which covered the Nost shutdown, never played on it, and actually played retail, or bought Legion. You'll see it again after this opens up, and most of the channels which claim to support our cause, will never play on it. If they do not play on it, or donate it to it, then they are nothing but a weekly clickbait for views. My point is not as many people care about private servers as you can easily be led to believe, and Blizzard knows this. It's why they're continuing not to care about older versions of the game.
  8. There's nothing wrong with either choice, and both realms will have a popular future. After enough months have passed, it won't even matter to new players which one is newer or older. If we get population caps (which we should), picking the lower one later down the road will actually be the better choice, not whether it's newer or older. Whichever one is queue locked at the time is going to be less appealing to new players if the other option has a lower base and no lock.
  9. I'd say go China hunting, but I'll be too busy having to refarm my stolen gold Nost never restored to me when I quit. I wouldn't even have bothered coming back if they were simply reopening, but since we're under new management, things will hopefully be different. I'm also out on tons of valuable mats, which these I admittedly donated to my guild when I quit, which I doubt I can get back unless my former GL shows back up. But it's worth giving it another shot if the numnuts that were in charge of Nost, are not in charge here. I hope we get a god damn population cap this time around too, because that 15k фекал needs to go. Cap this at 7k, and then open up as many more realms as necessary, and just take transfers. I'll pay you for a transfer if that's what you want. I don't want to play on a 15k trainwreck again. There was nothing good about that population, and it in fact caused many problems for the server and its players. I do plan to level again; as it's been a long time, and recording one will be something different. It'll make 6 60s in total, although it'll be another one I do nothing with after he's max level.
  10. This came out last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpPqIy86L1w
  11. In decent gear, pretty much anyone can farm well. If you're picking classes that can farm in complete trash... it's hard to argue with BM Hunter, or SL/DS Warlock. Mages can also AOE farm DME without any meaningful gear at 60, but I hope you really like plants, or you might get tired of killing the same 4 packs day after day. One of my 5 60s was a Mage, which I sometimes farmed DME as; couldn't do it for very long or that often, maybe while watching a movie. Since the only risk of being ganked is when running to the DME door, it requires very low attention once you've memorized the route. It's the type of farm you do while watching a movie.

    Gold Farming Etc

    Banning IP addresses doesn't accomplish anything. They will just switch to another one. All you can do is wack every account involved in the trading, and remove the gold from wherever it ended up. They can see the farmers because they don't do anything but farm and mail gold off everyday. It'll trade hands a few times then end up on many different players in the end (buyers). Banning the sellers doesn't accomplish much either. They'll just level up new accounts and continue right on doing it. Banning the buyers is most important. This is the revenue for the sellers. With no buyers, sellers would not have any reason to farm it in the first place, nor spam city chat to sell it. The buyers are the entire reason you have sellers, and if they aren't hit too, then sellers will never go away. As long as gold is selling, they'll keep trucking on, bans or not. They do not care about disposable scrub geared 60s being banned. But when a real buyer is banned, he's probably not going to shop anymore, because he just lost his account, which he actually cares about, on top of all the gold, which he paid for. The gold selling stores will not refund your lost money when your gold and/or account is removed either. They tell you buying gold is "safe" and it's "insured"; neither is true. While most buyers simply aren't caught, neither of those things are true for the players who are caught, and lose everything. You then see then on the forums making up stories to try and get the accounts back. I can't tell you how many times I've seen siblings blamed for hacking/trading/boxing.
  13. Only up to an extent. If there's too many players, more realms with transfers are needed. I doubt they're going to let us transfer over to the fresh realm.

    Is Duel wield warrior pvp viable?

    It'll never be as competitive as a solid 2h with Arms.
  15. Drain

    Look, I wanna play ret pally

    Just make yourself a Nightfall and you'll be useful enough. It makes more sense for a Paladin/Shaman to swing this over anyone else. Warriors as DPS tend to go Fury, which is a higher DPS choice than using a 2h. But these others don't have the option.
  16. The fresh server will be behind regardless. Don't you know anything about the timeline? The Nost PVP server was out for over a year, and guilds have T2 on farm status. You think a few weeks from a fresh server is going to make all the difference? Most players won't even be 60 or start raiding yet in this time period. Your precious fresh server will be miles behind, regardless of releasing first or not. It will always be in a shadow behind the older ones. This is supposed to be the entire point of a fresh server. You don't have anything, and you have a reset timeline. You want this, yet complain about a few weeks? It makes every bit of sense for the older ones to come first. People were already invested in it, and have been without it most of the year at this point. The fresh ones haven't even started yet. While I'd prefer for all of them to launch together, this makes more sense, if that isn't happening. But I would also hope we get transfers to it to control the population, meaning it basically isn't "fresh". But this isn't going to happen. We'll probably have to wait for even more servers for that to happen. I really don't want another overloaded 15k disaster. Just make more realms and take transfers, paid or not, but no miserable 15k pop please.

    Race - Horde

    The Orc stun resist doesn't make as big a difference as everyone acts. Unless you're 1vs1 vs Warrior/Rogue, it doesn't really matter. Undead is where it's at. Will Of The Forsaken is 100% reliable, not 25%, and Cannibalize is great with Life Tap. You just tap a few times, then munch on a corpse, it's great. This is vs Blood Fury, which does NOTHING. It actually heal debuffs you too, hurting your own effects. Then you have axe skill, which you can't use, and pet damage, which you basically put to no use until you can get a Felguard (BC).

    Class Dungeon Play Guide

    Fear is a much better CC than Seduction, and there's no risk of ads if you simply point the mob away from the next group. On Nost, fear wasn't scripted properly, making the direction 100% prediction and controllable. Assuming it was random as intended, but never was on Nost, it wouldn't be so good. I was fearing every pull in UBRS; I don't know why other Warlocks weren't doing the same. The Succubus and Seduction are complete фекал unless you're 3/3 on the chick. It's too short to matter if it isn't improved, and the chick herself isn't worth using over an Imp if she isn't improved.

    Toxicity Before Release

    People are just upset that their own choice isn't coming first. You should instead be thankful you're getting a server at all. We all should. You're not even paying for its development.

    Toxicity Before Release

    He's from the Nost forum which never had a text censor. Valkyrie did this of their own accord and it's probably been in place for years. That's also why the censor text is Russian.
  21. On Nost, boxing was allowed as long as you didn't use several in combat at once. I boxxed all the time for enchants, water, portals, auction house searching, but all this фекал is mainly just city duties. They didn't care about any of this. There's not much need to box out in the world though, because you can just log out, switch to your 60, then log right back in, if someone is bothering you. This is possible with 1 account, which isn't boxing. Boxing isn't required to do this. Just log out, then log right back in. If they're not on the same account, then keep the 60 logged out whenever your alt is alive, then log him in when your alt is dead. It'll be practically the same thing. They won't both be there at the same time. Then log the 60 out, and revive on the alt. Dealing with annoying players is the main reason to pocket a 60, and you don't need to box 2 in combat at a time for it. I've seen some players use a 60 from the opposite faction to clear out his quest area from competitors on his own side, which you normally cannot attack. Basically, Nost prohibited you from using 2 at the same time in combat, which is mainly done to cheese leveling. A person will tag mobs on his alt, then use his 60 to instant kill them. When ungrouped, the alt will take 100% XP from doing this, without any effort to fight them. A Hunter is probably best for this, as the pet will happily kill everything for you on aggressive mode, even while its owner is AFK on follow mode. You also get the speed buff for traveling, which is useful on a scrub that has no mount. But they prohibited all of this, and would ban you for it. One thing players needed to beaten into their skulls was that a program or silly macros are not required to box. Boxing is ANY use of multiple clients at once, even if you just alt tab them. They kept wanting to split hairs with the word "simultaneous", which isn't referring to your control, but the fact that you have several clients running at once. Even if the other one is sitting idle at the auction house, you're boxing a second character. So it is not a question of "is multi boxing allowed", it's a question of, "what activities with multi boxing is allowed".
  22. So instead of excelling at either role, you want to be фекал at both? If you're getting Shadow Weaving, then you may as well go all the way and get Shadowform too. If your guild is stomping the content, and can dump a Priest, then just switch the entire build to Shadow. -1 Holy +1 Shadow makes far more sense than a shitty mixed build trying to do both.

    Spelldmg Rogue ?

    Your DPS would be complete фекал. You'd be the laughing stock of the city. But ganking people in full Wildheart is funny, I guess. That energy proc, bro. Don't forget to pick up an Ankh Of Life, you know, for when you need to heal.
  24. Unless they're going to let us transfer our Nost PVP characters to any of the PVEs; we're still locked in the same situation Nost left us in. Not starting over just to switch.

    Warlock set tiers

    You're still bound to die if you're covering yourself in those shitty +SP greens. You need health, resist, and even some degree of intellect.
