QA team is different than PTR guilds who tested.

i already told staden about it. basically sand blast behaves incorrectly by only targeting people in melee range(ignoring ranged players) and is in process of being fixed. another issue was when ouro re-emerges, he sweeps and sandblasts the first person in melee(his CDs reset on emerge when it's not supposed to). he always submerges every 60s instead of possible 90s and a guarenteed 180s. meaning he will submerge more often than he should. it's like a clown show for that fight and melee are useless due to the bugs currently present. whoever did QA for AQ did a pretty average quality job. the only reason AQ should've taken this long was to polish it up.. it seemed to have the opposite effect and be very unpolished and lacking proper research on the encounters during development. just look at AQ20 for example, it's probably the worst release for a 20 man in pserver existance.. with the last boss not even working at all.

during this day, 1,000 people got girlfriends and jobs... until Elysium relaunch ofcourse. xD

i'll PM you about it. also gonna make a report on github about twin emps trash.

of those 55 guilds, how many of them actually tested the content and reported bugs? as of right now, skeram/ouro look like a disaster in a hand basket.

cthun down!

once the few bugs in AQ40 are fixed, i say it looks good and will definitely give guilds a challenge pushing for 9/9. lots of fun indeed and bringing back those memories of how awful that raid is (especially the trash).

i think skeram is tuned nicely honestly. the first boss should be quite punishing for the average player on a new tier of content. Granted, blizzard may have thought differently, but I think its a good wake up call for guilds that play on Anathema who want a challenge and not a cake walk.

200 people voting in under 6 hours is not the entire server community nor is it an accurate depiction to get a result with such a short notice. regardless of the call, it's poor planning and decision making on the staff's part. this only makes the other realms on this project more concerned when they reach the same point that Anathema is currently (darrowshire next). i think all the players on Anathema have a right to be upset with the current handling on this once in a server lifetime event, especially after playing on old Nostalrius over a year ago. i sure hope everything goes well weds and we'll see what happens.

so you put a cap on mounts at the initial start, people complained and got dissuaded to even participate in the no life grind for it.. then you retract the custom change at the end of the event 2 days prior to the gong ringing open... I'm glad the other guilds who raced for the scepter is getting mounts but damn talk about flip flopping decisions on a once in a server lifetime event. i sure hope darrowshire doesnt get the same treatment.

indeed. that's why im prepared for it early weds morning. albeit, they dont make more custom changes again.

i'd say delay it and watch the thousands of players ignite into smoldering ruin with hatred and disappointment... but for real though, you guys wanted to go the snowflake non-blizzlike route for this event, no point in getting cold feet about it near the finish line. just open the gates and let it happen.

i wonder who banned me x)

agreed. but again, if elysium is gonna tune things up, you have to account for that change.

what are you 2 even on about? way to derail the thread with you're agnostic anti-CF shilling. using another private server as a test bed for strategy guides is not an accurate depiction of those fights or how they were. each server does things differently (hell even elysium does it differently with low CD fear on onyxia) you would have to tailor the strategy guide to the server itself @Talesavo. the best way to create a strategy guide or "how to" would be to use retail footage or pictures depicting how it was back then. then from there, you just tailor the details to whichever project you're playing on. this is the same reason why the retail version of bigwigs does not work on elysium or Kronos because it's completely different. the addon creator has to make a bigwigs version specific to the project to be 100% accurate. same goes for the strategy guides. when AQ comes out and you clear it a few times, create a guide specific to elysium. for example: (on elysium, Twin Emperors teleport is wonky and do not pause for 2s, this will negate the possibility of doing the close proximity threat transfer strategy from retail). small bug/issue with the server can sometimes nullify a retail strategy that's used. even buffed HP on mobs, increased damage on mobs or any adjustment to the encounter can change the retail strategy from how it was.

Kronos is a bad example to use for strategy guides.

it's not even in the game files. you would need to use a TBC client to use that skill.

:D

that would be a custom change against blizzlike. the sources all point to it occuring from vanilla-wotlk. its not abuse if its blizzlike huehue

seriously? let's go back in time. Haste items in vanilla that affect spell's. MQG and Scrolls of Blinding light for paladins. TBC changes percent haste to Haste Rating. items that give flat haste rating to spell.. (basically every caster item including gems and old ZG trinkets) Wotlk still using Haste rating -> nerfs haste rating affecting herbalism/mining/skinning cuz nerds crying about losing black lotus.(not really but you get the reference) also herbalism/mining/skinning is a spelllllllllllllllllllllllll Xdddddddddddddddddddddddddd learn the game before claiming you know it. xdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

spell haste affected herbalism all the way up to Wotlk before getting changed. http://www.wowhead.com/spell=50300/herb-gathering#comments By demon39063 (201 – 1) on 2008/12/20 (Patch 3.0.3) Interesting fun fact: This is affected by haste. With 482 haste, my cast time for gathering herbs is 4.23s. The more you know :) http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/world-of-warcraft/world-of-warcraft-exploits/185866-gather-herbs-faster.html skinning and mining also should be affected. (mages get skinning for devilsaur leather gathering kek) should not affect "looting" chests or anything with a cogwheel action as that's not a spell.
