02:05.02AmarandeSo, I wonder how many new WoW players who came in with MoP are unsubscribing by now LOL
02:05.16JunkHead-?
02:05.26AmarandeNot that it would scare an experienced player like me off, but being that I'm in the process of starting a panda, I can see a lot of newbies being scared off by it :|
02:05.51JunkHead-I didn't see much wron with the panda starting areas.
02:06.09Amarandeheh, I'm just noting that it seems to be a fair bit harder
02:06.32AmarandeThe last time I came this close to dead this many times (though haven't actually died) in the starting zone was pre-Cata
02:07.04Amarandewell, and in the worgen starting zone post 5.0, but there were problems with the worgen starting zone in particular post 5.0 that I don't think really were meant to be part of the difficulty balance :S
02:09.22AmarandeOf course, maybe it's the class
02:09.33AmarandeI haven't played shaman since BC, so I don't know if shamans in general just have this rough of a road in the early levels
02:10.04AmarandeYou don't get a self heal till the late single digits, and even then it's pretty viciously expensive in terms of mana till you spec
02:10.49Amarandeotoh, I don't remember any of the other starting areas except the worgen one having any boss mobs on a power level with the ones on Wandering Isle

03:50.39tatehaa..
03:51.15tate23:53 <@neutronimity> Does anyone have a tank at level ~75 on a EU server, alliance side? Looking to speed run dungeons - I'm healer :p
03:51.18tatea bit late but yesss :D
03:51.28tateoh he's off, surprising
03:53.55Amarandetate: hey, this is how dungeon groups always work (or worked before the days of LFD, which tends to only kind of help, at least before max level heh)
03:54.23AmarandeIf you're DPS, you sit and sit and sit because you can't find a tank or healer (but probably picked up two fellow DPS in the first thirty seconds, if they haven't got disgusted and given up by now)
03:54.42AmarandeIf you're a tank, you gather up three willing DPS in thirty seconds and then sit and sit and sit because you can't find a healer who's free
03:54.57Amarandeand if you're a healer, three DPS are yours in thirty seconds and then you ... you guessed it heh
03:55.20tatelast time i played my warrior it was with neutronimity.. like half a year ago
03:55.23tatehaven't touched it sinec
03:55.50Amarandealso, in that regard, in retrospect, one could say pretty resoundingly that they introduced heroic dungeons one expansion and three patches too soon
03:56.15Amarandehindsight is always perfect, though. :)
03:56.37tatei want to gear up my main but i'm tired to honor grind against bots <;c
03:56.48tatenp: http://youtu.be/ewFsbz2qC5w?hd=1
03:57.07tatealso it's 6am, wonder none else plays at this time lol
03:57.10AmarandeI mean, LFD should have been in place *before* they introduced a dungeon type that you can only do once a day. It would have made my life in BC much more fun.
03:57.57PaaarnBC wasn't about fun
03:58.01AmarandeLet's see ... it's hard enough for the small-guild player to find a group as it is, LET'S ADD DUNGEONS THAT YOU CAN ONLY DO ONCE A DAY, SO THE SUPPLY OF AVAILABLE GOOD TANKS AND HEALERS IS EVEN SMALLER :p
03:58.13Amarandewhat was BC about, anyway?
03:58.30Paaarnraiding until your eyes bled
03:58.36Paaarnand grinding for mats
03:58.40AmarandeI remember my crowning achievements those days being getting exalted with the Shattered Sun Offensive and Netherwing :S
03:58.53Paaarnso you can be one of the 3 people in the 25 man raid who actually had pots and enchants
03:59.22Amarandealthough, sad to say, with only a very few exceptions, while the gameplay and grouping options have got better since BC
03:59.24Amarandethe mounts really haven't
03:59.35Amarandefor the most part I still find myself preferring my good old netherdrakes
03:59.44PaaarnI like the dark pheonix
03:59.45Amarandeor my flying machines on my engineer, but those were from BC days too
04:00.28Amarandeheh, the problem with enchants back then was more that inscription hadn't been invented yet
04:01.00Amarandeso you couldn't just pick up optimal enchants off the auction house, never mind the mats you had to actually spam trade and track someone down who knew (insert obscure enchant that three enchanters on the realm actually know)
04:01.02tatebtw is MM hunter out of pvp?
04:01.06tateand is it bm only
04:01.23tateevery hunter i see is BM in pvp because of bugged pets
04:01.56Amarandeas for potions, they were only slightly more useful in BC than they are now, right?
04:02.27Amarande(given that BC was the heyday of super tight enrage timers, so you might have gotten to pop oh maybe one or two more pots per fight than the one you're allowed now :S)
04:03.33Amarandeactually, has the enrage timer really ever been a serious factor since BC?
04:03.44Amarandeback in the day, it was something you really, seriously, had to worry about as a matter of life and death
04:04.39Amarandewhereas I remember in Wrath, it was more "you might have trouble with it when you're first learning it, but if you're actually getting the boss down, you're probably doing it more than fast enough that the timer isn't anywhere close to becoming a nail-biting James Bond like countdown"
04:05.13PaaarnI think they've fine tuned it to that degree
04:05.26AmarandeI think a few times we failed on PP, BQL, and particularly Sindy we hit the enrage, but I rarely remember us getting close to watching the last few seconds tick down when we killed them
04:05.41PaaarnI think it is one of the elements where WoW's 'smoothness' is actually less fun
04:05.58AmarandeWhereas in BC, as I understand it, it was actually a serious worry
04:06.00tatelmao
04:06.04tatekilled hc-boss without a healer
04:06.26Amarandeand one of the other major reasons Sunwell for most people was just "that place you pop into to kill some trash mobs and hope for rare recipes" and not much more
04:06.32*** join/#wowhead JunkHead (~JunkHead@173-23-73-116.client.mchsi.com)
04:06.46Paaarnthere's a lot of bosses in MOP where if you are not re-re, you could do it without a healer
04:06.59JunkHeadIM A RE-RE!!!!!
04:07.09AmarandePaaarn: with some cases, Brutallus most notably, the enrage was so tightly tuned that you basically needed your entire raid to be BiS of all previously available gear in order for things to go well at all
04:07.19PaaarnJunkHead, we never doubted you. Not for a second!
04:07.24AmarandeI don't think there's ever been anything like that since then
04:07.27JunkHeadYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
04:07.38PaaarnI don't think there is
04:07.40AmarandeWhich, mind you, isn't really a bad thing
04:07.50AmarandeIf you have to break out MATLAB to calculate how your raid needs to be geared and rotated to beat a boss
04:07.59Amarande... the boss is too damned hard
04:08.24Paaarnheroic raids should be like that
04:08.42AmarandeSuch difficulty is fine in, say, single player console RPGs where you can save and try as many times as you want without having to drag 24 other people along each time you want to attempt it
04:08.47Amarandeit doesn't really work so well in an MMO
04:09.16Paaarnspeaking of...has anyone played dishonored?
04:09.32Amarandeand by such difficulty the first things I think of are such lovelies as Hitoshura and Satan
04:10.01AmarandeIt's a pity I never actually got around to fighting Satan when I had a PS2 (although if Digital Devil Saga ever shows up on PS2 Classics on PSN, I'll likely buy it again and give it a go on the PS3, eventually)
04:10.27Amarandethough that was more to do with the patience required to *reach* him than to defeat him :|
04:10.35PaaarnI think DDS is coming
04:10.44tatebtw how is damage scaling done now in mop?
04:10.50AmarandeThe problem with getting to Satan is that to reach him, you have to first beat Seth
04:10.50tatei do less damage now than on 85
04:11.00AmarandeIn order to be allowed to fight Seth, you have to first have beaten both Shiva and Vishnu
04:11.26AmarandeIn order to fight either Shiva or Vishnu, you need to find special keys to open the doors to the rooms they're in ...
04:11.40PaaarnI really wish I had liked strange journey more
04:11.42Amarande... except each of those keys is the rarest possible drop from one of the two rarest enemies in the dungeon. :|
04:11.50AmarandeIt's like Pink Tails on steroids.
04:12.13AmarandeSpeaking of which, I'm actually not entirely sure if the Adamant armour actually helped with Zeromus at all or not :S
04:12.54AmarandeI still need to get started with SJ. I bought it when it was still pretty new and haven't got around to playing it
04:13.06AmarandeI really don't play my DS enough in general
04:13.32Amarande(I also have Pokemon Black, FF3, Devil Survivor, and TWEWY, none of which I've gotten around to playing more than a short while so far)
04:15.15*** join/#wowhead VCH (~chatzilla@ool-18be79f0.dyn.optonline.net)
04:15.23AmarandeMaybe if I got a 3DS or DSi, I'd play it more. A major part of the reason I don't play my DS is that I can't use the Wi-Fi on it, and I know that Pokemon and FF3 at least have parts where the Wi-Fi is important
04:16.11AmarandeWell, that and I imagine going from a 24" monitor on PC or 26" screen on PS3 to the DS screen size is rather a downer (seriously, I think the DS Lite's screen is smaller than the box screenshots on games. :S)
04:16.44*** join/#wowhead December (~Shini@c-67-167-230-240.hsd1.il.comcast.net)
04:17.20AmarandePaaarn, does it irritate you too that the Wi-Fi on any DS earlier than the DSi is a nigh useless feature?
04:18.27JunkHeadI dont play my ds either.
04:18.30Amarandetate: that's how it was in cata, too
04:18.32JunkHeadi dont even know where it is
04:19.15Amarandewhen you freshly dinged 85 your DPS was actually down from when you were 80 (less so if you didn't raid at 80, but even then there was a DPS drop while leveling)
04:20.16Amarandeas for my PSP, the main reason it doesn't get enough love is that most of the time when I feel like playing a game on it, I try to turn it on and since it's been so long, the battery's dead
04:20.25Amarandealthough I can't use wifi here with it, either
04:20.35Amarandeblasted lack of WPA2 support on portable game consoles :(
04:22.54*** join/#wowhead madre_ (~runzle@p54B741AC.dip.t-dialin.net)
04:23.04JunkHeadI just never really want to play portable consoles anymore.
04:23.08JunkHeadI had a psp once.
04:23.13JunkHeadbarely touched it.
04:23.18JunkHeadthen got a ds
04:23.23JunkHeadplayed it even less.

04:34.45Amarandesometimes I'm not sure why I keep portables around, although I want to actually finish the MegaTen games in particular before I trade them in
04:35.03Amarandeand it seems like the traditional JRPG is becoming more and more scarce outside of portables
04:35.10Paaarn^
04:35.14Amarandealthough with 3D becoming a big thing on portables now, it might kill it off there, too :|
04:35.24Paaarnthat is why I keep portables around
04:35.33Amarandehrm.
04:35.44Paaarnit will move to phones
04:35.47Amarande*ponders shaman specs*
04:36.04Paaarnresto
04:37.18Amarandeyeah, thinking of that eventually, but do I want to do another leveling run that mostly consists of lfd, I'm already doing that on the druid
04:37.24Amarandeso I'm thinking of ellie and picking up resto at 30
04:37.53Amarandeon the druid it makes sense anyway, the only reason she ever really needs to go out into the world is to get skill ups for herbalism
04:38.15Amarandesince atm she's getting her profession leveling mats from surplus gathered by my warlock (alchemist)
04:38.57Amarandeand inscription is just "sit around town near the mailbox & trainer"
04:41.36Amarandeon the shaman, I'm doing LW/skinning
04:41.45Amarandewhich means she's actually going to have to spend loads and loads of time out in the world
04:43.50Amarandeyay 580 page AH, Ysera has really come alive lately :)
04:47.53Amarande... living steel belt buckles. *quivers and looks at wowhead recipe database, hoping, hoping, bugger.*
04:47.56Amarandeseriously.
04:48.13Stormscape3D gives me some pretty wicked headaches if it's the type that doesn't use glasses

04:49.20Amarande(just like how at work on a daily basis, I'm reminded of how apropos the abbreviation "POS systems" is. :P)
04:49.57Amarandehmmmm. that may cement my plans for alts once I have all the professions covered

05:04.04StormscapeWhy do I still see people doing Dragon Soul pugs? Did some people actually like that horrible raid?
05:04.33Mr_Rabiesit's not a bad raid, we just ran it for entirely too long
05:04.49Mr_Rabiesjust like ToC, i missed the TOC abuse so i actually love the raid
05:05.10Mr_Rabiesi still kind of hate firelands beacuse of how long we ran that
05:05.35Mr_Rabiesbut i loved it when we first went
05:05.43Mr_Rabiesit was molten core, but way, way better designed!
05:06.37StormscapeTOC is the 2nd worst raid they ever made
05:06.41Stormscapeonly Dragon Soul is worse
05:07.15Mr_Rabiesit's entirely about how long you ran it
05:07.22Mr_RabiesDS has some really cool mechanics in it
05:07.43Mr_RabiesToC has some great stuff, like the horde players, the chained fights, the unique mechanics, the surprise ending
05:07.48StormscapeMr_Rabies, I hated it after the first time I did it.
05:07.51MewtwoFirelands has my favorite boss encounter in it.
05:07.53Mr_Rabieswell
05:07.55Mr_Rabiesyou're Stormscape
05:08.01Mr_Rabiesthat doesn't surprise me
05:08.07Mr_Rabieswhich, Mewtwo
05:08.13Mewtwoaly
05:08.20Mr_Rabiesplease don't say leggy mcvolcano
05:08.34Mewtwoi always got to fly in that one.
05:08.36Mr_Rabiesit would be a cool mechanic if it wasn't perpetually bugged the f out
05:08.42Mr_Rabiesalysra is one of my favorites, too
05:08.51Mr_Rabiesand i did ground melee
05:09.02Mr_Rabiesdodging tornados was a great skill check
05:09.09StormscapeProblems with Dragon Soul: No trash, too much talking, Hipster Jesus, the most disappointing end boss in the history of MMOs, and the fact it was essentially a glorified boss hallway with a total of 12 trash pulls.
05:09.19Mr_Rabieshow is no trash a problem, exactly
05:09.19AmarandeStorm: there's probably also the late-comers who don't have the mount still taking a shot at it
05:09.26Mewtwoi would end up doing like 80k dps by the time i was done. lol
05:09.37Mr_Rabiesi thought DS's trash was some of the worst
05:09.43Mr_Rabiesnot in terms of how much there was, per se
05:09.50Mr_Rabiesbut the pre-ultraxion trash sucked
05:09.57StormscapeOnly if your group was bad
05:10.13Mr_Rabiesit sucked because it barely took less than the maximum time
05:10.22Mr_Rabieseven if you pulled each dragon immediately
05:10.23Mr_Rabiesmost times
05:10.59Mr_Rabiesthere's not really too much talking at all
05:11.06Mr_Rabiesultraxion and madness are the only two with RP
05:11.19Mr_Rabieswell, warmaster had a little
05:11.26Mr_Rabiesbut it was like 10 secs before combat started
05:11.31Stormscapethe entire Arr Pee event before you could even enter the Eye
05:11.43Stormscapeit was like 45 seconds of RP circlejerk
05:12.04AmarandeI'm guessing it still repeats every time you wipe?
05:12.11Mr_Rabiesnah
05:12.12Mr_Rabiesonly once
05:12.15Mr_RabiesStormscape is just terrible
05:12.39Amarandeyeah, you guys haven't played enough RPGs, if you're complaining about that
05:12.46Mr_Rabiesi thought the madness fight was quite cool, it was really unique
05:12.53Stormscapeit was also too easy
05:12.55StormscapeWay too easy
05:12.56Amaranderemember the good old days when bosses in RPGs were actually often hair-pullingly hard
05:13.07Amarandeand on top of that, you had hanging over you the knowledge that every single time you died
05:13.25Mr_Rabieseh, it wasn't easy at launch
05:13.26Mr_Rabiesat all
05:13.32Amarandeyou had five or ten minutes worth of unskippable cutscenes to sit through before you could try it again? :)
05:13.46Amarandeand that's on a good day, on a bad day you were half the zone of random encounters away from the nearest save point
05:13.51StormscapeMr_Rabies, considering you had to kill Spine before you could kill Madness, compared to Spine, Madness was mindblowingly easy
05:14.03Mr_Rabiesyeah, heroic spine was harder
05:14.05Mr_Rabiesbut honestly
05:14.06Amarandeand that's on a kinda good day, on a REALLY bad day the game you're playing doesn't let you save in dungeons at all so you have to do the ENTIRE area over again :)
05:14.07Mr_Rabiesi'm okay with that
05:14.11StormscapeI'm not.
05:14.24StormscapeThe final boss of an expansion should be the hardest boss of the expansion. Period.
05:14.31StormscapeIt shouldn't be a loot pinata
05:14.46Mr_Rabiesi think a rest after the razorgore level guild destroying insanity that heroic spine was was okay
05:14.59Mr_Rabiesor twin emps
05:15.01Amarande(example of the first, most Final Fantasy or Shin Megami Tensei games; example of the second, FF3. I'll be making sure to overpower my characters immensely in FF3, I'm sure, given what I hear that the last dungeon is like.)
05:15.03StormscapeI disagree. They should have made Spine easier and Madness harder.
05:15.11Mr_Rabiesperhaps
05:15.25Mr_Rabieson the other hand we never even bothered with heroic ragnaros because we just weren't interested
05:15.27AmarandeStorm: actually, it's often been traditional in video games for the penultimate boss or level to be the climax in terms of challenge
05:15.35StormscapeAlso, you're the first person I've met who's actually liked Madness.
05:15.41Mr_Rabieswhat's wrong with it?
05:15.51Amarandee.g., DOOM II, where the peak of difficulty is not the final level 30 (well unless you suck with timing rockets like I do :P)
05:15.54Amarandebut level 29
05:16.01Mr_Rabiesi think it could have been shortened a bit
05:16.16Mr_Rabiesit really sucks to have a 15 minute fight end up with a wipe at 14:29
05:16.32Amarandeheh, that's also something RPG veterans are used to
05:16.50Mr_Rabiesdark souls does that too, Amarande
05:16.50Amarandeespecially since in classical JRPGs in particular, bosses are well known to get increasingly hard the closer they are to death
05:16.54Mr_Rabiesthe final boss is nowhere near the hardest
05:17.01Mr_Rabiesbut it's one of the most breathtaking
05:17.06Mr_Rabiesbecause you're building up, building up
05:17.10Amarandeto the point that in some games you practically HAVE TO combo the shit out of bosses from a very high HP vantage point if you want to live
05:17.17AmarandeXenosaga 2 was a good example
05:17.18Mr_Rabiesand he's just slightly taller than you, the only boss that can be parried
05:17.23Mr_Rabiesand his music is sad piano music
05:17.26Mr_Rabiesyou're just like
05:17.39Mr_Rabies"man, should i really be killing this guy? did he really set all these actions into motion?"
05:17.50Amarandemost of the bosses' low-HP abilities were so brutal that pretty much you either took them in a single combo from >50% HP to nothing, or you got creamed
05:18.01Amarandebecause the main way of surviving said abilities tended to be not seeing them at all in the first place
05:18.27StormscapeA. it took 17 years per attempt because most of the time you were waiting to DPS, and not actually DPSing. B. the whole platforms mechanic was probably a cool idea on paper, but in game it's poorly executed. C. I'll think of more reasons why Madness was terrible in awhile
05:18.40AmarandeOTOH, you had games like FFX, with Seymour third battle
05:18.46Amarandewhich was, admittedly, one of the more challenging bosses of the storyline
05:18.57Mr_Rabiesi really dislike JRPGs that require grinding
05:18.59StormscapeAlso, you keep saying RPG, but all you're doing is mentioning JRPGs
05:19.00Mr_Rabiesgrinding isn't a fun mechanic
05:19.11Amarandebut ... their idea of making him harder as the fight went along (which seems to have been the intention) kind of didn't work
05:19.20Mr_Rabiesi love how dark souls doesn't benefit from grinding very much at all
05:19.21Amarandein fact, he gets easiest if you bring him down into the Total Annihilation phase as fast as possible
05:19.32Mr_RabiesFF8 had some total bullshit fights
05:19.34Mr_Rabiesfor real
05:19.38Mr_Rabieslike
05:19.44AmarandeI think it was meant to be harder when he used TA
05:19.46Amarandebut, the thing is this
05:19.46Mr_Rabiesfight diablos too late? good fucking luck!
05:19.56Amarandeonce he gets into P3 and starts to use Total Annihilation
05:19.56StormscapeI don't think I've ever played a JRPG past the character creation screen.
05:20.01Mr_Rabieshe will one-shot you past a certain level, because he levels with you!
05:20.02Amarandehe doesn't cast Dispel anymore
05:20.18Amarandewhereas he does it EVERY attack rotation in P1 and P2, along with an attack that hurts almost as bad
05:20.31Mr_Rabiesi do think they should try something else this expansion Stormscape
05:20.33Mr_Rabiesand they might be
05:20.42Mr_Rabiesstart easy, work towards hard
05:20.54StormscapeYeah maybe we'll get an end boss that's actually hard (Kil'Jaeden comes to mind).
05:20.55Mr_Rabiesthey haven't really done that since vanilla, and i think it's worth doing again
05:21.00Amarandeonce you get him below 35k, you can just have Rikku use one of her defensive mixes and TA is a lot of flashy graphics that does maybe 1500 or so to everyone on a bad day
05:21.19Mr_Rabiesit doesn't make much sense to release an expansion super hard
05:21.23Mr_Rabiesand work towards easier content
05:21.32AmarandeMr_Rabies, OTOH, the high level Diablos has much better draw magic than the lower level ones
05:21.37Amarandewhich was one of the tradeoffs in FF8
05:21.49StormscapeCataclysm was overall a pretty terrible expansion if you were a raider
05:21.52Mr_Rabiesi barely remember most of the fight mechanics in FF8
05:21.56Mr_Rabiesi disagree, Stormscape
05:21.59StormscapeIt was only good if you liked making altsd.
05:22.03AmarandeIf you kept your levels down, the monsters stayed easier, but it also took a lot longer to get good magic (and since junctioning good magic was how you got good stats ...)
05:22.13Mr_Rabiesi thought it was really great because everyone got to see everything eventually
05:22.21Mr_Rabiesthey messed up on timetables here and there
05:22.30AmarandeMr_Rabies: your stats were primarily based upon what spells you junctioned to them, and how large a stack you had of that spell
05:22.34Mr_Rabiesbut blizzard doesn't deal with timetables very well
05:22.45StormscapeMr_Rabies, the entire expansion had 21 raid bosses.
05:22.57StormscapeNot enough content.
05:23.03Amarandespells were mostly obtained by using the "draw" command in battle from mobs. available draw magic was based both on the mob and on its level
05:23.07Mr_Rabiesquality, not quantity
05:23.18Amarandeyou could also get them by refining items and Triple Triad cards, but it usually took a lot of those to get more than a little magc
05:23.18StormscapeDragon Soul was anything but quality.
05:23.18Mr_Rabiesi'd rather 8 good bosses than 16 wastes of time
05:23.30Mr_Rabiesi think ulduar could have used a few cuts, personally
05:23.39StormscapeI think Ulduar should have been longer.
05:24.01Mr_Rabiesthere were several fairly boring fights in ulduar taht could have been axed
05:24.03Mr_Rabieslike uh
05:24.07Mr_Rabiesfire-belly guy
05:24.10Mr_Rabiesnothing interesting there
05:24.43StormscapeThey should have added 5 more bosses and split it into 2 raids.
05:24.51Mr_Rabiesi wish cata would have had more tiers, but i think each raid was the right size
05:25.07StormscapeFirelands was way too small and makes me glad I skipped that entire tier.
05:25.17Mr_Rabieslol
05:25.33Mr_Rabiesfirelands was pretty huge, if you consider all the damned trash
05:26.01Mr_Rabiesthat was really my biggest gripe with FL
05:26.11StormscapeI liked the amount of trash in Firelands
05:26.18Mr_Rabiesit felt like they designed the zone, then had to find a way to fill it, with tons of trash
05:26.21Mr_Rabieswhy the hell do you like trash
05:26.38Mr_Rabiestrash is exactly what's on the label
05:26.48StormscapeEncourages raiders to perform well. "If you don't down this before trash respawns, you have to spend 25 minutes clearing it again."
05:27.10Mr_Rabiesor, just calls the raid off for the night, because fuck spending another hour clearing trash
05:27.30Mr_Rabiespunishment is not encouragment
05:27.44Mr_Rabiesit just wears people out faster
05:27.49StormscapeI liked ICC's level of trash.
05:28.05Mr_Rabiesi really hate timed trash the most
05:28.08StormscapeIt was a lot, but not too much because it was all aoe gibfests
05:28.12Mr_Rabieslike the spider trash
05:28.35Mr_Rabiesi really hate the trash before blood trio/blood queen
05:28.37Mr_Rabiesactually
05:28.39Mr_Rabiesmost of the icc trash
05:28.42Amarandeblood wing trash?
05:28.42StormscapeGunship seriously felt like a glorified trash pack though.
05:28.45Amarandethat was actually rather fun
05:28.45Mr_Rabiesyou could have cut out half of it
05:28.58Mr_Rabiesand i'd have been 100% okay
05:28.59Mr_Rabieswell
05:29.01Mr_Rabies50% okay
05:29.06Mr_Rabiescut out all of it and i'd be 100% okay
05:29.08StormscapeYou are literally the only person I've ever met who likes boss hallways with no trash.
05:29.30Mr_Rabiesi don't understand what's so interesting about trash
05:29.39Mr_Rabiesshadow of the colossus is regarded as one of the best games of all time
05:29.41Mr_Rabiesand guess what
05:29.48Mr_Rabiesthere are no trash enemies, at all
05:29.54Mr_Rabiesyou literally just fight bosses
05:29.55Stormscape"best game of all time" is subjective.
05:29.57StormscapeI really hated it.
05:30.16Mr_Rabieshow can you be so wrong about everything all the time Stormscape
05:30.21Mr_Rabiesare you from bizarro universe
05:30.56StormscapeMaybe I was too busy not playing and massaging my hands because console controllers give me terrible hand cramps.

05:31.11Amarandeand yeah, there's plenty of Western RPGs in which the final boss is not the hardest, too
05:31.54AmarandeGold Box and Ultima come to mind
05:32.06Amarandethey also come to mind often in particular as games where grinding really doesn't benefit you much, if at all
05:32.41Mr_Rabiesdo people have crab claws for hands in the universe you come from
05:33.07Amarandeespecially Gold Box, probably because it was based upon AD&D First Edition, so generally only a few thresholds mattered in the grand balance of stuff
05:33.45Amarande(mostly "fighters get their last extra attack at level 13" and "mages get Tactical Nuclear Holocaust ... er ... Delayed Blast Fireball at level 14")
05:34.06Amarandeahhh, DBF. those were the days
05:34.17Amarandeit was almost an I.W.I.N. button in so many battles
05:34.46Amarandethen SSI wised up and gave us Dark Queen of Krynn where basically all the mages have stupidly effective fire resistance and THEY cast it
05:39.51Amarandegood thing in the Krynn series you usually have a lot of clerics and can memorise lots of Resist Fire
05:42.57Amarande... wow. how long did I wander around carrying that injured soldier before noticing I was, heh
05:43.52tate"so when is the giveaway ?:D"
05:43.56tatejust when i start my stream
05:44.00tate._.
05:44.05AmarandeI picked up an injured sailor in the panda starting quest near the airship wreckage and he despawns
05:44.11tate"but....but.... you are the only viewer!"
05:44.13Amarandeso I figure "ok, maybe only some of them can be saved and the others just die on you"
05:44.24Amarandethen about a minute later I find I can't click on another one and realise you have to carry them in

19:51.51eidyiaagree
19:51.56eidyiawell, w/ general bag space
19:52.04eidyiai like the idea of quest items not taking up space
19:52.24Amarandeyeah, that was a nice thing in LOTRO, quest items gathered attached to your log
19:52.27eidyiaand there is a cooking bag coming
19:52.34Amarandealso, 40+ quest max in your log
19:52.40eidyiaa portable fridge :)

19:53.02AmarandeOf course, now that cata has turned most zones into linear 2-3 quests at a time fests, a large quest log is only really of much use in Outland, Northrend, and Pandaria
19:53.10eidyiahttp://ptr.wowhead.com/item=92746
19:53.40eidyiastarts at 28 slots, goes to 36
19:53.44eidyiawhich is awesome!
19:54.06AlreadyAnd for someone like me who still has old raid quests open or sometimes keeps quests for over a year. :P I really would like to have more than 25 quests especially since we have that many dailies now.
19:54.25AmarandePity there's not much reason to have more than a couple slots worth of food anymore :(
19:54.29eidyiayah
19:54.46eidyiai capped out on quests the other week when i started dailies while still finishing up some zone quests
19:55.04AmarandeWhen you're raiding, someone probably provides a feast for you anyway
19:55.05eidyiaAmarande: tons of ingredients to now carry around
19:55.07Amarandeotherwise, well ...
19:55.24eidyianot that you need them on you all the time, but more that you aren't going to the bank every day after farming
19:55.28Amarandeat low levels? a lot of times you don't take enough damage to really need to eat unless you really had a big scrape
19:55.41eidyianah - i'm talking max lvl
19:55.46Amarandeplus, some classes (e.g. demo warlocks, not sure if it's a class-wide feature or just for the spec) have big passive healing
19:55.59Alreadymy 90 bag slots (or so) are mostly occupied by tiller meals and cooking ingredients. :(
19:56.03Amarandeand on top of that, in CRZ zones, much of the time you just don't get to eat anyway because the increased population means repops are too fast to have time
19:56.18Amarandeat max level? from what I understand, the food bonuses are pretty damn anemic this time
19:56.20eidyiaDitto Already
19:56.38Amarandeprobably to prevent the panda racial from getting out of hand, but still, it seems pretty iffy if it's worth carrying much buff food on a non-pandaren
19:56.45JunkHead-I don't know how many bag slots I have, but I rarely get full.
19:57.09JunkHead-and when I do, it's because i somehow managed to mine 8 or so stacks or ore.
19:57.36Amarandeusually when I get full it means one of two things
19:57.37AlreadyI'm full most of the time. Before panda i was carrying around "good looking gear in case i ever RP". My bank is full of old equip and fun stuff to have.
19:57.55Amarandeeither it's that time every couple of days when all my auctions just expired and I don't have enough room in my bags to pick up all the non-sells at once
19:57.59AlreadyAnd my void storage is also almost full. :P
19:58.09eidyiai usually have a PvE set and PvP set going - then a full bag of cooking stuff
19:58.16WardHorder: Virtual Edition
19:58.21Amarandeor I'm questing on an alt and forget to keep an eye on how much inventory space I've used
19:58.23Ward*Hoarders
19:58.40AlreadyYep Ward, way better than IRL. :P
19:58.50Wardwhenever I make an alt the first thing I do is send over 4x 16 slotters
19:58.54Amarandeespecially now that you don't have the regular trip back to cities every couple levels to train skills, so oftentimes, it can really be a while before you otherwise feel a reason to visit a vendor or mailbox
19:58.56eidyiaWard: That'd be a great FoS: Title: <name> the Hoarder - use all void storage and bank slots
19:58.57WardI use the traveller´s backpacks
19:59.01Wardthey don´t BoP
19:59.07AmarandeI try to send 20 or 22 slotters if I can afford it
19:59.12Amarandealthough occasionally I'll stoop to 16
19:59.28deffener4*16 is not enough :(
19:59.29eidyia16s are great - i pass those around to my alts until they can get upgrades to 20/22
19:59.30WardI have the tundra mammoth
19:59.30Amarande450g for a 22 slotter seems kind of not worth it, though. It's 275 or so for a 20 usually on Ysera
19:59.34Wardso I can sell stuff
19:59.37Wardfrom level 20
19:59.43JunkHead-the tundra mammoth helps a lot.
20:00.00Amarandebtw, what's pricing like on MoP bags so far?
20:00.06Alreadyi like it that you get a 24 bag in kun-lai
20:00.10Amarandeand is there an MoP bag recipe that just takes PLAIN windwool bolts this time?
20:00.29eidyiathe gummi bag?
20:00.34Alreadyyep
20:00.37Amarandesince really, I'm still convinced the reason there's a massive price spike above 16 slot is because EVERYTHING above that takes imbued rather than regular cloth
20:00.37eidyiathat was a sweet surprise!
20:00.59AlreadyI was like "well a white item? ... OH it's a bag! Sweet!"
20:01.06Amarandeand the enchant mats needed have gone way up since xmog
20:01.28eidyiatotally!
20:01.44Amarandedue to the fact that the greens that used to be pretty much nothing but DE fodder have gone up
20:01.53Amarandeand skill grinders are probably likely to take mog income into account when choosing what to grind on
20:02.11Amarande(well, unless you have an enchanter you're grinding, in which case you probably are DEing everything off your crafters anyway in order to have a good supply of cheap mats)
20:03.25WardI mostly make mooncloth bags
20:03.27JunkHead-up until a couple of days ago, I had saved every boe i had found while leveling and doing prfessions.
20:03.28Wardfor my alts
20:03.32Wardif I can´t find traveller´s
20:03.33JunkHead-except for one set of shoulders.
20:03.48JunkHead-So one night a friend and i DE'ed 2 gbank tabs of greens.

20:07.59JunkHead-i think so
20:08.33eidyiayes
20:08.43eidyiai've been in guilds where there is a deposit-only tab
20:08.47eidyiaand the rest were take only
20:10.01JunkHead-looks like i have 104 bag slots
20:10.10Wardyeah we have a deposits tab, a take only tab, a hidden officers tab
20:10.21Wardand a bunch of themed tabs that have limits set
20:10.26JunkHead-16 + 24 + 22 + 22 + 20
20:10.37Wardno 28 slotter?
20:10.42JunkHead-nah
20:10.47Wardyou get a free 28 slotter from Halfhill quests
20:10.50eidyiawhat comes in 28?
20:10.51WardGrummlepack
20:10.53eidyiaoh
20:10.55eidyiayah
20:10.59JunkHead-my grummlepack is 24
20:11.01Wardor was it in Kun´lai?
20:11.03JunkHead-looking at it now
20:11.07Wardodd
20:11.07Amarandeyes, withdraw only is allowed
20:11.09eidyiayah - gummy pack is 24 i think
20:11.18Wardthought it was 28
20:11.21JunkHead-someone said you get one in townlong
20:11.22Amarandein fact, I ended up speaking to my GM today about just that
20:11.23WardI have 1 28 slotter
20:11.26JunkHead-i havent gotten it yet
20:11.31Amarandedue to a misclick, one of our bank tabs had got marked withdraw only in error

20:13.59Wardplus more than a week´s worth of cooldowns
20:14.05Wardor a fuckton of Spirits
20:14.10Alreadythanks for the gtab info. In that case maybe i should suggest to have an "incoming" tab and 1-2 ppl keeping some kind of organization in the rest of the gbank.
20:14.17WardI have an illusionary ba
20:14.19Ward26 slots
20:14.21eidyiano spirits :)
20:14.39WardI just sort the gbank once per day
20:14.49Wardbut I enjoy sorting
20:14.59hylje_are you an algorithm
20:15.05eidyiai like sorting too - hence why i don't use a bag add-on :)
20:15.11Wardbag addons are lame
20:15.16Wardeach bag has a purpose
20:15.28WardI sort while I fly from point to point
20:15.37eidyiayah!
20:15.41JunkHead-i use bagnon
20:15.41eidyiaWard for President!
20:15.42Wardsorting loot gives me something to do while doing dungeons
20:15.45JunkHead-but no auto sorting
20:15.52JunkHead-i just hate the multiple bags
20:15.57JunkHead-i prefer one big bag
20:15.58Alreadyi like bagnon to have a unified view. I just sort things the way i like it, sometimes using greens or blues to mark "special" areas. XD
20:16.55Wardon my main I have a 26 slotter, 3x 24 slotters and the crappy 16 slot default bag
20:17.01Wardwhich I could swop the default bag
20:17.20Wardwish
20:17.43AlreadyI think my most expensive bag still is the one from BC ... and it's still one of the bigger ones i have.
20:18.07Amarandeare there still buggy quests etc. where things fail if a certain item is in a bag and not the default backpack?
20:18.12eidyiaportable hole :)
20:18.24AlreadyI never had that happen
20:18.58Wardme neither
20:19.03AlreadyBut there are still quests which leave a item behind that doesn't have any purpose at all. :/

20:26.45Mr_Rabies<Ward> which I could swop the default bag
20:26.52Mr_Rabiesthe default bag isn't a bag, it's your inventory
20:27.03Mr_Rabiesthis is why they haven't really been able to do much with the backpack
20:27.15Mr_Rabiesbefore bags were added in alpha, your inventory was 16 slots
20:27.21Mr_Rabiesthat was it
20:27.31Mr_Rabiesand that same codebase is still in use today for the inventory
20:28.05Mr_Rabiesbags and the default backpack are treated quite differently behind the scenes
20:28.59eidyiawho knows what changing that code would break
20:29.20eidyiaeveryone always keeps their hearthstone in that bag - and that could remove all hearthstones from the game by mistake
20:29.26JunkHead-these disconnects are just insane
20:38.05WardI keep my HS in the far left bag
20:38.10Wardwith all the clickables and consumables

20:57.03Amaranderemember now: there are ten people in a 10-man raid and there are eleven classes in WoW
20:57.25AmarandeIf you should try to bring one each of ten different classes, the game *will* probably decide to say fuck you and drop gear preferentially for the 11th. :)
20:58.00Wardin a 10 man you can make a setup where every item is useful
20:58.09Wardjust make sure you bring plenty of paladins, shamans and druids
20:58.17ElysaI'm a shaman!
20:58.19ElysaBring me!
20:58.23WardI´m a druid :p
20:58.38Wardand priest and mage for the cloth!

20:58.52Wardperfect setup :p
20:59.33Amarandeyeah, don't do what our guild did in ICC
21:00.04Amarandewhich was practically never bring a hunter, and shaman was almost as rare apart from this one lady from another guild who would join us on an irregular basis

21:00.06Elysas
21:00.22ElysaAmarande: and you got all mail gear
21:00.23Amarande... and naturally the drop rate of ranged weapons and mail armour spiked right up
21:01.21JunkHead-man... townlong steppes sucks.:\
21:02.04Amarandeeh. can't be as bad as some places
21:02.28Amarandelike that quest in northern stranglethorn where you have to be a raptor escaping ZG
21:02.42Amarandewhich ... had potential, it seems like it would have been a lot more fun if I was actually any good at platformers
21:02.57Amarandebut instead proved rather exasperating

21:35.29fewyni've got to say plate leveling gear is fugly (mop)
21:46.11Alreadyi've to say sometimes it seems unfair what a plate wearer can take on while leveling compared to a cloth wearer
21:48.28AlreadyGrrrr those "occupied soils" are such a nusiance.
21:48.51AmarandeAlready: and then you play a warrior and realise how squishy heavy armour wearers really are
21:49.32AlreadyI really wish that "pest repeller" would work against that vermin instead of "infested" stuff.
21:49.34AmarandeOr a mage
21:49.44AmarandeOnce you hit 30 as a mage, you're basically in like Flint until you hit the Cata levels
21:50.01Amarandesince the mobs in that level range just don't have the DPS to break through Ice Barrier fast enough to be a threat unless you REALLY overpull
21:50.28Amarandeof course, then you hit the Cata levels and find yourself in a world of pain because those mobs actually DO have the damage output ... LOL
21:57.19AlreadyI usually don't play melee classes so i don't know the feeling of it but if i watch pallies level it's just "wtf".
21:57.28Alreadyat least sometimes. as well as DKs
21:57.47*** join/#wowhead raspy (~me@c-67-169-66-57.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
21:59.07AmarandeAlready: keep in mind that pallies and DKs also are tank classes

22:14.39Amarandeunless you really try pulling a billion mobs at once
22:15.02Amarandewell, depending on the mobs. at 85 you can put up Ice Barrier and pull entire instance rooms without taking a scratch :)
22:15.09Amarandeif they're classic instances
