Non-blizzlike

[Elviss 5]

I am referring to the final boss of DM East, who cannot be pulled without clearing the 3 plant packs around him, another 'improvement' in DM is Magister in West, who's Mind's Blast instead of doing 600 damage, deals 2.8k.

So, let's get things straight, shall we?

 

You are complaining because it seem to be harder then you remember, right?

[Worldstar 36]

King Gordok charged hunters on retail and was unsoloable. He still isn't fully blizzlike here.

But killing him solo is just plain wrong

I love this QQ from angry plebs who don't know how to farm out in the open world.

Was not unsoloable.

That was an exceptional hunter.

[cybaster 31]

When they cap player count at 10k, arguably the least Blizzlike change on this server, people cheer.

 

But when they fix a development oversight that was being abused to crank out way more gold per hour than is healthy for the server, the screams of "not blizzlike" ring out.

 

Don't try to rationalize that things were okay the way they were, because anyone could do it.  That's really the problem.  Unchanged, everyone has to roll a hunter and фекал gold at an accelerated rate in DM: North, or they can't afford to buy with the same purchasing power of someone who does farm this way.  Everything about hot spots like this is bad.  You cannot have disproportionately lucrative instanced content that can be soloed.  The rate at which this kind of thing can accelerate inflation when allowed to fester is like, money cancer or something.  A big bloated tumor strangling the rest of the economy.

 

Don't try to pretend there's some ethos behind your frustration with this change.  It's just greed.

imo, it would be better if certain instances, such as DM, could only be reset once per hour so its no longer profitable for gold sellers. other than that, leave it  100% blizzlike

 

what he said

Mana/Wizard Oils are from classic WoW.
Who cares if they were made available at AQ40?
It's not some game-breaking "NOT MUH BLIZZ-LIKE" non-violation to have Mana Oil during Nefarian.

This is not from 2006, this is a feenix video... thank god you aren't in charge of the bug tracker

Stop trying to act like you know what you're talking about.

 

Bad try.

I hear Cataclysm raids are still one of the best sources for farming gold. And there's no PvP involved.

So, all those people with Goldcap due to Nost bugs can have tons of gold and screw AH for others? No Ban at all?
Mages still can farm DM ? hunters cant? oh boy... can you please make some bugs for Restoshamans? so we can make some money too??? thanks

Its Blizzlike not Blizzcopy

[GoForTheMoon 0]

you can kill mobs to get gold so i suggest that we disable attacking mobs

 

its for the best, against those gold sellers and all that фекал

[Xylon666Darkstar 4]

You still have not hordes of Chinese mages going to DM: E to gold farm. This change fixes nothing, because the GMs aren't aggressively gooing after the bitters in the first place.

I'm all for these changes, but there's one thing missing. Hear me out.

 

We all know that the portion of the population that actually has gold cap, and the wealth necessary to control the auction houses, is incredibly small in comparison to the playing population on this server. So. First, we give these wealthy rats of players an identification badge to be presented and on display at all times, so the rest of the population can single them out and ridicule them as they see fit.

 

As time goes on, we should expand that necessary identification process to their friends and family, too. Eventually working our way to internment and work camps, where they can all pay their debts to the server, it's population, and the dev team, through hard labor. It will be brutal, soul crushing work, and many will die, but it's the only answer to this problem that I can think of.

Do you know what else is nonblizzlike?

Letting people play on a vanilla realm like they god damn want to.

Sometimes nonblizzlike is a good thing.

I have a ton of sage fish. Was not happy I couldn't craft. This is a good source of income I usually count on.

That's a stupid comparison.

That has nothing to do with actual game mechanics. When people say blizzlike they are talking in terms of vanilla. That should be obvious.

It's still farmable.

 

DM:E jump runs and DM:N are blatant custom changes.

 

I don't give a s.hit about what you are farming, I do give a s.hit about straying away from Blizzlike.

Its NOT a customchange in DM:E at the last boss. They just fixed a bugged boss mechanic which made the fight trivial.

Advice to any 70s looking to solo him:

Clear the plants that are in his room before you engage him. If you don't, they will aggro when he reaches ~40%.

Nothing else need to be written about this topic.

So you believe then that they patched the scripting of Dire Maul bosses in tbc? Interesting, can you find anything in the patch notes from that time about this?

Wait wait... are you suggesting that because the comments are from long ago that they must be accurate?

Guy, I seen some comments before that if you kill 200000000000 of the boars outside orgrimmar that TF will drop in a scripted event. It's rare, which is why it isn't documented, but it's a post from 2005 so it must be legit!

plz...

Then why did you even bring up that it's from tbc if your intention is to miscredit all comments made from those earlier eras? Comments made from that time aren't neccesarily true but it's also one of few ways we have to actually access information that is purely based on retail vanilla and not peoples experiences from other private projects so while they might not be an absolute truth they do at least bear some weight and alot of data on all projects is based on just that.
