IRC log for #wowace on 20150205

00:00.18Gnarfozhm... now I'm not so sure about the inferno stacks :D
00:00.49GnarfozI particularly like the "avoidable damage taken -- from all sources" summary
00:01.02Gnarfozthe perfect "you suck, do better" analyzer
00:02.36Gnarfozawww, they don't have infographics for the other bosses we did, yet
00:02.38nevcairielwe're much worse on avoidable damage too :(
00:03.02Gnarfozlet me find something
00:03.27Gnarfozhttp://www.askmrrobot.com/wow/combatlog/f934514a-4695-48e0-bf20-1368520bf6b1/boss/twin-ogron/mythic#f=17,be=avoid check this
00:03.34Gnarfozthe druid... ridiculous :D
00:03.52Gnarfoz3.5 MILLION
00:04.05nevcairiellol
00:04.07nevcairieltotal fail
00:04.50Gnarfozhit by shield charge 3 times
00:05.00Gnarfozthat's the big chunk, the other part is fire
00:05.25nevcairielshield charge can be rather deadly, he probably just stood there healing himself for half a minute after that :p
00:05.30Gnarfozyeah
00:05.54Gnarfozboth paladins talented into Double Hands thing
00:06.00Gnarfozonly 1 person asked for a hand
00:06.11Gnarfozshe could have, and would have saved a million healing or so
00:06.14nevcairielhm for gruul quite a bunch of people still getting cave in in their faces, and some getting overhead smash .. need more movements
00:06.18znfoh cool
00:06.20znfmy boots sold
00:06.27Gnarfozthree fiddy?
00:06.41znf20k
00:06.54Gnarfoznice
00:07.04nevcairieli should've sold the 680 boots i got, but alas they are the best ones that drop from there :p
00:07.24znfI got them in a pug on my alt :D
00:07.32znfraidrolled
00:07.34znffree gold
00:08.37znfDo the potion timers show up in combat log?
00:08.48nevcairieltimers?
00:09.10nevcairielyou only get messages for buffs gained and lost
00:09.32nevcairielso you can see when a prepot expired, and the combat pot became ready
00:09.36nevcairielif thats what you mean
00:09.40znfyeah
00:09.50znfAMR is having issues with pre-pot detection
00:09.57znfI suggested they look for potion expire timer during combat
00:10.04Gnarfozor people weren't using pots!
00:10.07znfI mean, when a player loses the aura
00:10.15Gnarfozthat's how WCL does it
00:10.20Gnarfozrecently asked him on Twitter
00:10.21Repogrid2: 03michaelspain * r754  (9 files in 6 directories):
00:10.22RepoAdded a new indicator "icons".  Groups of buffs or debuffs can be assigned to this indicator, and in theory the indicator will spawn several icons, one icon for each active buff/debuff.
00:10.24znfnah, I used pots on every pull, never failed a pre-pot; yet 50% of them are not showing up :P
00:10.30Gnarfozbecause WCL doesn't show the augment runes
00:10.44Gnarfoz...well, unless you die.
00:10.59nevcairielyeah, buffs are sadly a bit limited in the log still, you can only see gain/lose events, not a rundown of which you actually had at some point, so you need to track them yourself
00:11.09nevcairieland the logger may not be present w hen people take their runes and whatnot
00:11.17nevcairielbut for prepots it should work, since those expire in the fight
00:11.36znfwell, having a potion expire in the first <25s of the combat means that a pre-pot was used
00:11.47znfI think they should change the way pre-pots work :P
00:12.12znflike, have a grace timer for them
00:12.18Gnarfozthey should just purge potions at combat start
00:12.23Gnarfozto eliminate it entirely
00:12.28znfnah, they said they like the idea
00:12.35Gnarfozgah. :C
00:12.59znfthey mentioned that if they wanted to break that functionality, they would have done it already
00:13.00nevcairieli dont think the system really needs changes, its not hard to drink it at 2 or 1 in the pull timer
00:13.16znfunless someone ninja-pulls :P
00:13.20Gnarfoznevcairiel: perfect thing to put into the log w/ advanced logging enabled! (don't ask me how it would technically appear there :D)
00:13.37nevcairielGnarfoz: dedicated messages, print out all buffs at start of combat
00:13.48Gnarfozyeah, at combat start and end seems ok
00:13.58nevcairielend isnt really required
00:14.03Gnarfozwhatev! :D
00:14.14Gnarfozyeah, all aura removals already show up at death anyway
00:14.17nevcairielyou need one current state, everything else you can still track yourself
00:14.50nevcairielbut i was thinking something along those lines as well
00:15.07nevcairielnot sure blizz would really want to, but they did  add the advanced combatlog just for those web sites anyway
00:15.18znfI love that they've done that
00:15.27znfMade combat analytics more interesting
00:16.22znf(and finally made WoL die)
00:16.57*** join/#wowace webturtle0 (~webturtle@69.51.143.78)
00:17.28nevcairielthey could come up with a companion addon to dump this info into SVs, but thats probably going to end up being annoying
00:18.17nevcairiel...and wouldnt work with live logging
00:18.29znfindeed
00:18.37znfmost people don't live log anyway
00:18.45znf(and I don't understand why!)
00:18.54quiescensspais
00:19.20nevcairieli should probably start doing that for better analysis now that fights are actually hard again =p
00:25.14nevcairielanyway, sleep!
00:27.47znfdon't feel bad, nevcairiel http://blog.askmrrobot.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Gruul_WipeRate_Feb4.png
00:27.48znf:D
00:38.21Semlarhow about oregorger
00:39.50znfnot enough data yet :P
00:39.54znfthey're still building it
00:40.27Semlarwe only got him to 50% on heroic but i'm in a pretty casual guild
00:40.50znftook us 10 tries
00:40.52Semlarand we kept facepulling him after a wipe
00:40.56znfwe kept failing at the 2nd phase
00:41.07znf(people dying from the roll, me included)
00:41.12Semlar>_>
00:41.20Semlary u do dis
00:41.48Semlarour issue is mostly how to handle retch
00:41.56znfthat's the easiest part...?!
00:42.09Semlarnot enough room
00:42.20znfuse the middle lane?
00:42.49znfhug left wall, take 3 retches, hug right wall, go backwards for ~3 retches
00:42.53znfthen phase 2 happens
00:43.26Semlaryeah, we kept getting too close to the boss and he will just kill the ranged group if you do
00:43.56Gnarfozznf: uh, WoL is quite alive, why do you keep saying otherwise?
00:44.15Semlarif you get within 25 yards he'll start hitting the ranged group with his aoe stun
00:44.27znfGnarfoz, most of our "friend" guilds stopped using it when WCL became active
00:44.36znfI don't think it's 25y?
00:44.38Gnarfozthat's ages ago, though
00:45.19Semlar<PROTECTED>
00:46.10znfWoah
00:46.16znfWhy pull there? O.O
00:46.34znfofc you run out of room there :D
00:46.51znfyou're also stacking like shit
00:47.02Semlarwe were originally stacking in the corner where the boss is being pulled in this
00:47.13znfmiddle lane has more room
00:48.08znfhttp://i.imgur.com/85GhY1d.png
00:48.10znfthat's how we did it
00:48.11Semlarnot sure, possibly to avoid puddles in the center of the room
00:48.18znfwe took the boss to green
00:48.22znffrom S to Green
00:48.30znfthen we started with the puddles from 1 to 6
00:48.51znfbut you're stacking horribly
00:48.59Semlarthat's really the main issue
00:49.08znfwe tried on that lane, too, that you did in the video
00:49.17znfwe quickly realized there's not enough room to move comfortably
00:49.25znfthose corners also fuck up you camera
00:49.42Semlarpeople aren't stacking for shit and moving before retch lands
00:50.08znfyou can move when the /say goes
00:50.15znfhe snapshots your position
00:50.20Semlarno you can't, it has a travel time
00:50.32znfI'm pretty sure I moved after I /say'd
00:50.36Semlarif you move early it WILL be in the wrong spot
00:50.49znfinteresting
00:50.54Semlari think part of the issue is that some people's boss mods are wrong about who it's targeting
00:50.54znfI'll have to try that again
00:51.12znfyeah, we enforce BW in our guild, and everyone has to update it before raid
00:51.28Semlareven in this video, two people say it's targeting them at one point
00:51.41znfHmmm
00:51.48znfWonder if I can cheese it with Spectral Guise
00:51.49Semlarand for some reason bigwig's alert doesn't say who it's on
00:51.55Semlarso that's a little annoying
00:52.08Semlarit's odd because he clearly targets the person he's casting on
00:52.19znfwe found out that it's a lot less headache if everyone in the raid group/guild is using the same boss mod
00:52.58Semlaryeah i don't know about DBM any more since i've been using bigwigs since WoD
00:53.23Semlarpeople might be running an out of date version but half the time people using DBM seem to have wrong timers
00:53.41znfyou can always poke MysticalOS :D
00:53.43znfand blame it on him
00:54.01Semlari could, but since i'm not running it i can't say if it actually has a problem
00:54.19znfjust stick to one!
00:54.20Semlari know one of the issues in the other raid was that it kept calling one of the boss's moves something else
00:54.29Semlarso it was really confusing
00:54.46znfdepending on your guilds attitude towards raiding, meh
00:54.58znfpeople will bitch & moan when you tell them to switch boss mods
00:55.09Semlarehh we don't really care
00:55.30Semlaralthough they should be using something that actually works, if it's not working
00:57.56Semlarfor some reason you can hit the boss through most of the obstacles in that room but you can't heal through them
00:58.11Semlari'm assuming it's because of his height
01:00.04znfyup
01:00.06znfhttp://i.imgur.com/PvUhYPK.png
01:00.08znfHOLY COW
01:00.37Semlarair drop?
01:01.20znf1st class plane ticket, I guess?

02:12.19Repo300ec66: Moved the code for UpdateSite() directly into UpdateAllSites() since that's the only place it was ever called.
02:12.19Repoab69f5b: Logic cleanup.
02:12.19Repoe92ac2d: Refactored UpdateSite() - variable renames for sanity, rearranged some things, and removed a completely useless call to GetArchaeologyRaceInfo().
02:12.19Repo1eec0f7: Added data-mining code, courtesy of sidji.
02:12.50pompydooo ett Torhal
02:13.03TorhalSo much of that code is completely batshit.
02:13.08pompyha
02:13.19TorhalThat's why I barely worked on it the past 4 years.
02:13.31TorhalEvery time I'd sit down to do it, I'd look it over and nope the fuck out.

02:24.00Repoarchy: 03Torhal 07master * 1.8.57-45-g6a4c594 Archy.lua: [+2 commits]
02:24.00Repo6a4c594: Removed IncrementDigCounter() - it was only ever used in one place, and it...increments a dig counter. What the actual...
02:24.00Repo1da0a81: Formatting fixes, and added a TODO so I can investigate why the hell the comment "for now let's just avoid the error" was added, instead of fixing the actual cause of whatever the error was.
02:24.06TorhalThere you go, pompy. MOAR BATSHIT.
02:24.23pompyrawrrrrr
02:38.17Stanzillahey Torhal
02:38.24Stanzillathe way I do archaeology this addon is
02:38.28Stanzillaby going into my mine
02:38.32Stanzillaand looting fragments
02:38.36Stanzilladoes archy help with that?
02:38.42TorhalYou can pretend.
03:12.52TorhalOMFG
03:12.55Repoarchy: 03Torhal 07master * 1.8.57-46-ge51027b Archy.lua: [+1 commit] Removed the completely batshit IsFishingPoleEquipped() function: Calling select() twice on the values of calling GetAuctionItemSubClasses(1) twice, every time we need to check for a fishing pole being equipped... Replaced with calling IsEquippedItemType() on FISHING_POLE_NAME, which is assigned at load time.

04:25.48Repo5294dc4: Added TODO so I'll remember to rewrite ContinentRaces() into a static table, because creating throwaway tables with the intent of iterating over them to perform name matches is not cool.
04:25.48Repoc8dd931: Removed ClearAllPOIs() - it was a three-line loop that was only ever called from UpdateMinimapPOIs().
04:25.48Repo5b56065: Moved the code for GetContinentSiteIDs() into ClearInvalidPOIs(), since that's the only place it was ever called.
04:25.48Repo5fb05e5: Moved MatchFormat() and ParseLootMessage() into a do-block with Archy:CHAT_MSG_LOOT().
04:27.12Ressypoor poor Torhal
04:27.30TorhalRessy: Oh, you've been reading my commit messages?
04:27.35Ressysnickers
04:27.36Ressyyeah
04:27.43TorhalHeh
04:31.07RessyI'm just curious when you go batshit.
04:31.33TorhalThere's a reason I've been saying "I need to sit down this weekend and get back to rewriting Archy" for the past four years.
04:32.07TorhalYou should see some of my commit messages from 2011.
04:32.15RessyARL & Collectinator are coming along well for 6.1. :)
04:32.53TorhalCool :)
04:33.03TorhalJune 7, 2011 at 8:11:38 PM CDT: Checking to see if we're in an instance immediately after saying "If we're in an instance, terminate" seems silly to me.
04:33.18Ressyno branch for ARL stuffs, so its just sitting waiting to be pushed.
04:33.22RessyCollectinator's branch is good.
04:33.23RessyOH!
04:33.27RessyYou're gonna kill me..
04:33.39RessyI did a /dump of the pets.. So all the diffs are gonna be off.
04:33.44Ressythey're all in npc order now.
04:33.54Ressybut it makes more sense
04:34.31TorhalThat's all that matters for that.
04:34.53TorhalUnless you changed a bunch of shit and THEN did a dump. Then, you'll be on your own shit list if you need to revert.
04:34.55Torhal:D
04:35.43Ressy>.>
04:36.03Ressyit works. no reverting needed.
04:37.11TorhalNovember 14, 2011 at 9:48:29 PM CST: Let's NOT call collectgarbage(), especially once every 10th of a second while moving... /facepalm
04:38.04Ressylol
04:42.02Neffinow that, Torhal, is truly terrible
04:43.13Ressywhat.. you don't like a slideshow?
04:44.00TorhalNeffi: Oh, there's more where that came from.
04:44.25TorhalRessy: He's saying that calling collectgarbage()  every 0.1 seconds is truly terrible.
04:44.33TorhalHell, it shouldn't be called at ALL in most cases.
04:44.34Ressyoh I get that.
04:45.03RessyI was being sarcastic :P
04:45.44TorhalHehe
04:47.29TorhalMeh. So much for going to bed two hours ago.
04:47.32TorhalDoing so now.
