Is DM Tribute soloable for hunters on those servers? On Anathema it got custom script making king teleport you in front of him if he can't catch you. Wondering how it works on other servers.

I'd assume its only to match the OP level. Atleast his posts don't show sign of effort at being bad;p

Ok it made total sense guys so I just followed your example Cruzix but guess what? It still don't fucking load... i'm feeling extra retarded atm or super confused. Weird as fuck. I renamed folder to Hunticons and toc file to Hunticons.toc - didn't show in load order again. So i renamed EVERYTHING inside to Hunticons including lua fine and the one other. Still same shit. Edit1 - keeping original folder name and just adding "-" to toc file name made it work...

Erm i'm feeling retarded right now but how do I install it? Is it standalone addon or modification for some other? I downloaded it, renamed (tried both just removing "-master" or completely rename it). In both cases it doesn't show on my load order.

Ofc, we should talk about things having Elysium specifics in mind. It's pointless comparing things according to official wiki/how we remember things. Its not a wow knowledge quiz :P Although its favorable to note what things are working this or that way due to the bug or else. Back to the topic tho :) Brother Tooth (cause its a pvp predator) is must have but pre 1.9 Lupos (especially on elysium servers) is hands down best raiding pet. Why? Because on Elysium servers its shadow damage doesn't steal shadow vulnerability stacks but benefit from it (bugged but thats how it is) also it benefits from curse of shadows and nightfall etc. My Lupos had 300-400 normal hits on Bwl mobs and bosses. Imagine 2k+ crits on chromag from pet auto attacks (cause all the synergy). Post 1.9 id say its down to preference. Furious howl is bugged in a plethora of ways which makes it unclear how it benefits the party dps but for me it should be calculated like this - wolf own dps + possible min/max dps in adds to the party vs other pet own dps. Ofc Broken Tooth got better pure dps, no1 questions that. I'd be happy to see "scientific" tests on furious howl for that matter but I don't know how I could approach it. Its hard to isolate benefits of furious howl alone.

The hidden 98% of player base approves this topic:)

I came up with this back on Nostalrius with collaboration with info provided by Moosie (hunter also). There was a thing making furious howl added not as a flat bonus damage on top of everything else but instead added somewhere between in calculation making it scale accordingly (I can't really tell you because its impossible to find out where and when it adds and the thing is it works somewhat different for various attacks, it was bugged that way). I just know that some crazy tryhard hunters like Marisi etc also tested it and came up with same results. So my preferance toward wolf is based on that, might test Broken Tooth next raid if he can give me solid 30 more (preferably more based on whats the actual truth about furious howl here) then I might use it.

Hi invoking macros don't work for me. I made totem targeting macros like these: /target [harm type:Totem] Grounding Totem; /petattack [@target type:Totem]; and it works but when I make master macro that try to invoke this one it doesn't work

Is there a targetlasttarget function? and conditionals for it?

Another moronic topic lul, keep em coming. Free entertainment is welcome. Its very entertaining indeed to listen how monopolizing 2 items that can be replaced with ease is a sole reason for gold sellers to flourish ;p Don't burden us with stupidity of others please:P are u a nazi or what?

Tbh after seeing Lupos numbers and his dmg everything else seem so subpar now if we talk about pure dps (those 30-40 broken tooth hits make me wanna cry, its barely worth micromanaging and ressing occasionally). The obvious advantage of serpent is that its lightning breath bypasses armor cause its nature spell and also u can put it in stay safe range and just spam it for fights ur pet would otherwise die instantly in melee range (or require heavy micromanagement and pulling it out of the fight 50% of the time anyway ultimately making it a burden for half of the time) But that being said pets dps is just trivial at this point post 1.9, especially against high armor targets its like non-existant so instead picking cat or serpent or whatever really... over a wolf is rather wasted potential. I'd suggest picking wolf for furious howl. Some friends tested that for hit capped (soft) melees, even if howl is consumed by offhand auto attack (worst case scenario) its 11dps increase per person. So worst case scenario is that ur howl increase ur party dps by 44 (most likely more). So keeping that in mind the only valid pick over wolf would be a pet that guarantees like 50+ more dps for yourself over any other pet (to battle the lack of howl for the party that could potentially produce that number). Ofc those numbers might not be super accurate but its been somewhat tested and depending on compositions etc u'll get different results. One thing is certain... u can keep furious howl on ur party all the time, even on fights that makes you barely use ur pet for damage. Sure u won't see that as ur dps but if u're in a guild with brained people they will appreciate that and give you credit. If you're in guild with dumbasses that only watch personal dps meters... well tough luck.

Still howl is probably best utility it brings while still doing regular pet damage. Sure you get slightly more dps from serpent but its trivial damage difference, get wolf boost ur uber melees and profit;p

Unless you already learned that: - Vanilla wow plays you not other way around. Not like we have any choice. Anyway true gamers play instead quiting cause they believe in drama/corruption/tinfoil. Whatever happens or rather whatever some people think happens raids keep coming up, gear drops, pvp happens. Who cares whats behind the courtain. I mean some obvious no lifers and under-achievers do cause it gives their life a meaning I guess... private wow servers corruption investigators (lol bitches please)

Not that it upsets really... if its well designed and thought in and out (with economy, balance, STABILITY in mind). The main issue with custom content tho is that it makes investing time dangerous. Like we all know how vanilla is right? Terrible time sink, to achieve anything you need to spend ages but then again you have a bigger goal in mind... as an example you get all the consumables and nature resi gear for AQ but then majority of community complains that AQ is hard so what do you do? Make custom tweaks than make it so less NR is required to be "safe". This makes things too easy and pisses off those that prepared for it properly. For any custom solutions devs and team need to have TREMENDOUS amount of trust in community. Currently it lacks cause of the drama/downtimes/coders quiting and so on. So imo following PUREST form of blizzlike atm is your best chance to gain trust. Don't try to guess what was the blizzard intentions doing this or that, or set War Effort to A or B because you claim it was never supposed to be easy. Honestly Elysium you shouldn't really have a right to choose things like that if you advertise as blizzlike. Especially when you're not confident it will not blow back into your faces. I mean imagine you done War Effort exactly as it was on retail servers... it would be completed fast... so what? People would just say that its normal cause overall community know the content for ages so they prepared before. Blame wouldn't be on you, some would just whine it was too easy but then again you will have whiners for everything always. You instead would get huge +rep for performing top gun war effort and go to opening of AQ with fresh energy. Instead you chose to interpret War Effort event with self-proclaimed understanding of how vanilla should've been and it only hurt you. I'm telling ya don't mess with custom shit unless you're fucking A+ with community and even then make some fucking official voting etc to probe the ideas. I know its all free and you gotta bust your ass to keep it up but vanilla servers are very unstable environment really. Its one thing to have downtimes cause attacks and shit... but lags and downtimes is not enough to kill community (Nostalrius had fucking crazy lags during peak time and barely anyone quit because of lags... food for thought here) but they didn't make careless decisions like you guys do. Sure they made custom shitfix for solo farming DM north which pissed me off (cause I originally leveled up hunter to 60 to have a fun way of making gold) but I'm far from saying Nostalrius were perfect. You guys just should learn on their mistakes... atm you do opposite.

Thats right... you bought the game so all you own is the box and the cds. For access you always needed to pay extra in form of subscription. That being said if I paid subscription nowadays I could access the game I bought 10 years ago, on official server. My content would be gated at 70 cause I never bought wotlk or beyond with my main account tho... The hard reality is that they are not in a duty to maintain a version of a game that chunk of their player base liked more. Following that logic they'd need to host different servers for every single patch across every single expansion because some people liked patch 1.9 way more than 1.12 or 2.1 than 2.4.3 etc etc. My main point tho is that Blizzard changed from a fan-based company that cared about pristine gaming experience and lets say... overall spirit of mmorpg into a proper business. Hardcore pve player base is not the one that bring most money but existence of a content that target that group of people kills it for the major group (casuals, sunday gamers, clueless streamers etc etc)... I think Naxx 40 proven that quickly for Blizzard (cause they had waves and waves of unhappy customers complaining that content was so hard that they never got to experience it... as you pretty much needed to make wow your job to be invited into proper guilds that done that back then). This was the point blizzard realized they can't make stuff for hardcores (with proper difficulty and reward that come with it) without hurting their money making group that will be unhappy to pay a subscription but get wrecked by small % of players that can access that high-high-end content. When you think about that thats why vanilla servers are so popular among all private servers. Cause it has that impossible content. Like unreachable goal for most. That at the same time pisses you off cause you have to sacrifice your IRL to experience that... even on private server nowadays. I think blizzard directly abandoned that philosophy and even if they hosted vanilla servers again they would not bring back that thing.

It would be perfectly fine from law perspective. Fact they'd probably loose 99.9% playerbase doesn't mean shit. We as players are users, not owners. Ofc using your argument they'd have to stop advertising it as fantasy game (although this term can be stretched even into hello kitty i guess) to dodge false advertisement claims.

Lol at the whole idea. Its like you folks sued your favorite artist cause he can't/don't want to play music same way as he did 30 years ago when you originally bought the first recording. Get some brain. Wow changed and all the rights you have is to like it or not. Its not like some public good you are entitled to.

Lmao :p

There are more factors that come into play in order to find a reason why Anathema is at current population tbh. In my book its: -fact that there are more old chars here and those people tend to go less active unless they are die-hard fans and roll alt over alt over alt to keep them 24/7 busy, forever, no matter the content. -lot of people actually believed all the cucks like Alexensual and consider a server a fraud at this point, rumors spread fast and new people are hesitant to join. Not to mention that hate, flaming and overall badmouthing is running rampant on forums... imagine you're a new guy that want to check in for server stability/well being and you got problems finding one positive post on a wall, everything is either conspiracy, "ways to fix everything bad" or pure smart ass trolling. I bet its a valid way to scare new people away. -Downtimes are obvious reason and you could say its not their fault that they are getting DDoSed. Makes me think tho (which is both optimistic and pessimistic depending on what we choose to believe), are they being target because others are salty/envious or because they pissed off people with some solid reason. I try to be optimistic but last weeks its fuck up after fuck up. 2 months ago we had over 10k ppl on Anathema, sure huge chunk were goldselling bots and china farmers that got deleted but it still hurts to log on a sunday morning and see 2.5k. Its surely enough to have fun but I hope its not a sign of continous decline.

You seem like you got your future planned ahead. I envy you. But being serious now, Anathema is emptier not because people are bored of MC and BWL (following that logic Elysium would be empty also right? or I'm missing some genius spark in the logic?). Servers are emptying because majority of people that are BiS or close to just don't make same mistake as on Nost and invest ton of time into a server that faces major obstacles time after time... while also suffering from bad decision making regarding progressive nature of it. Just my 2 cents tho, raidlogging till PTR folks tell me AQ is scripted nicely and playing Warhammer Total War till then:P P.S I still need dft on hunter, 13 months might be just enough to get it.

I wanna say "I told you so" when we had famous old-server vs new-server war. I would say that but Anathema is dying too... dat War Effort lol.

Which is just a matter of your opinion tho based on "comperable" principle. Lets agree to disagree shall we? For me win trading is a specific action were group of people first agree to loose vs another same group of people and then that same group of people do the same in return, known from bg scenario to maximize honor per hour. In Un'goro its completely different. All the time different groups of people fight and sure its based on exchanging favor when the opposing faction allies need same help but in both cases we need to EARN our pvp win as a faction vs different group, its NOT traded. And we don't get any help from opposing faction in those fights. When it boils down to fighting sides are on their own. People use "wintrading" term here cause its in ToU as against rules so they stretch the meaning of that term to make their case stronger... which is a bit desperate. But they are free to try. I just don't agree with that reasoning and don't agree to stretch the meaning of the term into adjacent matters just to fit current agenda. Its very dangerous thing to do as it can be done in pretty much every aspect of the game.

You mean because likes of you that jump into convo, say the first most stupid thing they can invent and then expect to be left unanswered? I mean you don't deserve answer thats correct but I still like to mock mongrels, wat do.

Enjoy the laugh:p meanwhile thats what people do... erm?

Can every <NOPE> member also upload a video where they show they delete gear and then characters? I'd like to be sure you are gone for good and its not just another attention whores move you guys apparently excel at.
