01:34.44JevankoLibertineLush: wasn't it you who recommended me carbonite yesterday?
01:35.14LibertineLushJevanko: yea, i think so
01:35.38JevankoI started using it but I have problems with a few things
01:35.58Jevankowhen questing
01:36.18JevankoI can't get it to show the quests in the drop down on the right
01:36.29Jevankoand it often loses the waymark
01:36.35LibertineLushit doesn't show on the right ever?
01:36.40Jevankono
01:36.46Jevankothere is the thing where normally
01:36.50Jevankou would expect the quests
01:36.52Jevankoto drop down
01:36.56Jevankoand their objectives
01:37.01Jevankobut they don't show there
01:37.13Jevankoand also on the minimap there is a ton of notes
01:37.21Jevankowith potential quest givers
01:37.23LibertineLushupon install, it shows the carbonite version of the drop down menu for me
01:37.32LibertineLushdid it not do that at the beginning?
01:38.41Jevankoi have the menu
01:39.17Jevankobut what are the uses of the addon?
01:40.09LibertineLushit shows you with dotted arrows on the map and minimap where to go for your quests
01:40.24LibertineLushand also a GPS-like arrow onscreen
01:40.34LibertineLushyou can disable either if you wish
01:40.37Jevankoye but it doesn't calculate some "most efficient" router does it?
01:40.54LibertineLushthe route it shows is the most efficient
01:41.00Jevankolike does it tell you which quests to pick up and which to ignore to have max efficiency?
01:41.00LibertineLushtakes into account all the quests you have
01:41.11LibertineLushdoesn't tell you which to ignore though
01:41.27Jevankofor me it drops tracking quests
01:41.28Jevankooften
01:41.38LibertineLushis the purple icon clicked?
01:41.48LibertineLushpurple sphere
01:41.59LibertineLushthat will track all your accepted quests
01:44.14Jevankoye
01:44.26Jevankoi think it jsut bugs out or something mb a restart
01:45.44LibertineLushyou need to click the purple icon every time you launch.  it won't remember it upon relaunch
01:47.42LibertineLushthere's another one called questhelper.  i dunno if it's been updated for MoP, but you can try that too
01:47.59LibertineLushi stuck with carbonite caues of the scrollable zoom map
01:48.13LibertineLusheven though the option settings is a disastrous mess
01:49.07Jevankoye

16:18.26AmarandeMorning. :)
16:20.07Amarandesay, would I be getting the correct impression that Blizzard is aiming to induce players to change behaviour with some of their recent modifications to the game?
16:20.28Amarandeand that the ultimate purpose of all these changes is DOWNSIZE SERVERS AT ANY COST?
16:21.54Amarandelet's see. on the one hand, you have account-wide pets and achievements, which you'd think would be friendly to people with lots of alts (heck, you can even now sell off excess copies of those dungeon minipets and such, not that you can make any real cash off of it since everyone else has the same idea but ... LOL)
16:22.37AmarandeOn the other hand ... between the fact that the guild leveling system heavily rewards server populations coalescing into a few large guilds, the whole CRZ thing, and item upgrades? It seems like they're trying to punish people for having lots of alts or such.
16:22.44AmarandeOh, yeah, and leveling in Pandaria, too.
16:23.30AmarandeI'm not sure why they'd want to punish people for having lots of alts, unless (which also gels with the whole CRZ plan, and, actually, having only one set of achievements and pets stored per account ...) the whole idea is that they're trying to cut WoW server resource usage and behaviour-modify players via game changes to help them do it. :|
16:26.06AmarandeLeveling in Pandaria punishes altitis because: from what I've seen, unless you do lots of dungeons and dailies and archaeology, you pretty much need to do most or all of the 85-89 quests on every alt in order to get them to 90, due to the sheer amount of XP involved
16:26.30AmarandeMy mage is 88 and a half and still has most of Pandaria left to do, but that's *because* I've done lots of dailies and archaeology, I'm pretty sure :)
16:27.34AmarandeAnd the item upgrades just punish anyone who hasn't already got heirloom weapons, because now that's yet another many thousand of them you have to spend on your main before you're not a total moron to shell out thousands of them on an heirloom for an alt. :|
16:51.28JunkHeadMoP isn't perfect, but it probably is the best expansion out so far.
16:52.02*** join/#wowhead nmt (~Anmity@h170n6c1o851.bredband.skanova.com)
16:53.11JunkHeadThere are certain things that make it alt friendly, and certain things that make it the opposite.
16:53.40AmarandeYeah, I've wondered if the unfriendly features are a consistent strategy of Blizzard's.
16:53.52JunkHeadYou need to retire your tin foil hat.
16:54.08AmarandeThey forced CRZ upon us without even mentioning it till it was already in the "it's going to happen no matter how much you the playerbase speak against it" pipeline
16:54.11JunkHeadYou've been wearing since you started coming to this channel.
16:54.27Amarande(keep in mind that usually they listen to the players if a feature is a particularly obvious lemon during testing, like Essence of Immortal ...)
16:54.31JunkHeadCRZ doesn't bother me a bit.
16:54.48AmarandeIt's more the aim they possibly have *with* CRZ that I'm wondering about.
16:54.48JunkHeadExcept the bug where it knocks people off of a passenger mount.
16:54.59JunkHeadOther than that, CRZ is fine with me.
16:55.21AmarandeParticularly, the combination of CRZ, guild perks (which have the effect of pushing the player base to coalesce into a smallish number of very large guilds), and now features that make altitis quite a debilitating condition.
16:55.35JunkHeadYeah, leveling a guild isn't that big a deal.
16:55.38JunkHeadMuch easier now.
16:55.58JunkHeadMy guild, near the end of Cata that I was struggling to get to lvl 5 with... is almost 18 now.
16:56.05AmarandeThe impression one gets of this is that Bobby wants Blizzard to cut back on WoW's server footprint (probably to get ready for Titan, I'm going to guess, and before that just plain to Save Money)
16:56.05JunkHeadwith 2-3 people doing it.
16:56.43Amarandesince CRZ explicitly saves server resources on Blizzard's end no matter what, and coalescing guilds and encouraging players to have fewer alts induces players to use less server resources per person
16:57.30AmarandeAlso, keep in mind that Bobby's not a gamer. It would be just like him to pressure Blizzard to do things that aren't gamer friendly, because he's out of touch with the current gamer base and doesn't have to care personally since he's not one :P
16:57.55AmarandeNot that it's hard *not* to keep in mind that Bobby's not a gamer, since he seems to PRIDE himself upon being a gaming CEO that doesn't game, ROFL
16:58.17AmarandeJunk: yeah, but it took them a whole expansion to do that
16:58.21JunkHeadYou call him Bobby as if you know him...
16:58.29JunkHeadAgain, take off the tin foil hat
16:58.41JunkHeadstop acting like everythign blizzard does is "You egtting fucked by the man"
16:58.53AmarandeNot to mention the guild rep system was painfully unfriendly as initially created. You basically had to stick to your main at all times if you wanted to get anywhere near exalted back in the day. :)
16:58.56JunkHeadeither try to enjoy it and play, or quit and stop complaining.
16:59.05AmarandeNow it's a nice thing. You get exalted with your guild by the time you're 40, usually. :D
16:59.17JunkHeadyou're overcomplicating things.0
16:59.27AmarandeAlthough it's a pity it makes the upgraded guild tabards hardly worth it to buy unless you really need one more tabard for the achievement. LOL
17:00.17AmarandeSpeaking of which. When are we going to hear more about Titan? :)
17:00.37JunkHeadnext week. tuesday at 12pm PST
17:00.47JunkHeadhow the fuck should I know?
17:00.53JunkHeadthey'll tell us stuff when they want.

17:23.12AmarandeJunk: actually, I quite enjoy WoW, even if I rib it fairly often. :)
17:23.30Amarandeactually, as exemplified by Winston Churchill and golf, usually it's the biggest fans of something that tend to criticise it the most often, heh
17:24.24AmarandeChurchill was a very avid golfer. Despite, or more likely actually *because of* this, he described golf as the art of getting a small ball into a smaller hole using weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose. :)

17:45.53b4k4^^they made it even easier?

23:51.13b4k4^^on my priest two dungeons, 4 pieces of gear and a 496 belt from Galleon
23:52.37janei got a belt from galleon and 2 tier pieces from sha, and i think my entire guild wanted to crucify me
23:53.02janeand then people got mad i had a sha tier piece for offspec too <.<
23:53.56janebut dungeons suck. i remember the first month of panda was queueing for jade temple over and over and over again
23:54.18janefor a helm iirc, and then a weapon from multiple dungeons that never dropped
23:54.44janeand then last week i got all possible shaman healing weapons from hof+tes on lfr
23:54.57janeblizzard is funny
23:55.24b4k4^^heh
23:55.30AmarandeHeh, 496 should have been arranged to be the top ilvl of the expansion
23:55.35Amarandeso someone could say 496 is the perfect gear
23:55.52b4k4^^on the priest nothing from lfr yet, on the shammy got two weapons in one run :P
23:56.07AmarandeSeeing that 496 is a perfect number and the only such number that will probably ever be the ilvl of WoW raid gear LOL
23:56.09janeso i had run the lfr shit like 4 weeks in a row until i got a weapon ><
23:56.22b4k4^^granted, only done MsV once on the priest :D
23:56.23janeso to get what was i think 4 weapons? in the same day...pissed me off
