14:58.46peneginahi
14:58.55peneginais there anybody here?
14:59.12equiraptorYes, but we tend to be a bunch of lurkers a lot of the time.
15:00.12peneginayou don't chat about wow?
15:00.40peneginaI see a lot of people here, but without chating :/
15:00.57Dedrahaha
15:01.27Dedrayeah, I'm looking for an hero group, to farm PvP-Honor.
15:01.47DedraBut hard to get some good 540+ for fast clear runs :\
15:01.48equiraptorSure we do, from time to time. But a lot of people leave their client on IRC even when they can't talk.
15:01.54equiraptorSo you see a lot of people comprade to those who speak.
15:02.04peneginabahhh this is so boring :(
15:02.05equiraptorLike, right now, I have to go for my commute to work, and then I'll only be sometimes around during work.
15:02.11equiraptorBut I'll still be in the channel.
15:02.18peneginaxD
15:02.27peneginaGood luck, I'll go out of here :P
15:02.36Dedrayes boring, BUT 4-6k honor in 1h ^^
15:03.00Dedrai did it on my own with my 555 monk, 5-7min for a hero (solo) i got my full 522 gear in ~4-5h
15:03.20Dedrabut i cant do this on my own with my shadow priest :\
15:03.35peneginaOhhh :3
15:03.44peneginaIt's starting to be intresting :D
15:03.48Dedraso fast heroics worth it
15:04.18Dedrabut for this, you need to have a pre group, or over equiped monk / pala / warrior ^^
15:04.54peneginawhich class do you think is the most easy to control on PvE healing ?
15:05.23peneginaI always have played with an affliction warlock, i wanna start on PvE healing hehe
15:05.24Dedrawith gear, or without?
15:05.43Dedrai have all classes on max level since start of BC :D
15:05.50Dedraso i can answer it ^^
15:06.03peneginaOld school, fantastic!
15:06.08Dedramost heal, without good gear is druid, easy to handle, and good heal with gear is diszi
15:06.12peneginaI've played on WOTLK
15:06.32peneginaI'm starting on MoP rigth now, a lot of time without wow D:
15:06.35Dedradiszi need gear, so that you have enough mana reg
15:06.52Dedraand diszi is easy to play, because you just smite on a target, and you heal. You dont need to switch targets
15:06.56Dedralike you do it with other heals
15:08.12peneginadiszi is an dicipline priest rigth?
15:08.39peneginaI feel so nob after that long time with no playing :S
15:08.44penegina*noob
15:08.48Dedrayes
15:08.59Dedradisc isnt pvp anymore
15:09.03Dedraholy is "more" pvp :)
15:09.32peneginaD:
15:10.00peneginai've seen that the hordes and allies doesn't figth anymore, right?
15:10.21Dedranope, still hate
15:10.25peneginaI miss to camp low-level guys :'(
15:10.43peneginabut i cant attack them :/
15:10.53Dedracompares which zone
15:10.55Dedraand pvp server?
15:14.06peneginaim playing in a private "it's free" server hehe
15:14.11peneginaright now
15:14.39Dedramost fun (heal) in pvp is monk, by far (for me). But that's just becose soooooo mobile, and fun. But without spheres (wod)..... dont know... this just takes out the dynamic of monk heal for me
15:14.52Dedrait's useless in pve, ok. But in PvP it's just so fun to play with
15:15.08Dedracharge, balls balls balls, charge, channeling heal heal channeling, charge, balls balls :D
15:15.10peneginafrom 3.5.5 -> to 4.4.1 has changes a lot, LOT of things :S
15:15.32Dedrawell, i was programming a private server, for such a long time
15:15.38Dedrabut it's not compareable
15:17.30peneginai have mounted a mini private server 3.5.5 on trinity it was funny, i did it for an school project :3
15:18.19peneginabut, i haven't prorammed nothing, i've survived with internet tutorials haha
15:18.47peneginain which language do you need to programm a private server? c++?

15:46.08Kane_HartIn before someone tries to wack me :P "A Private server is a machine or virtual machine that is privately administrated. As servers need adequate internet connection, power and can be noisy, they are often located in a collocation center."
15:48.57kullervoI'd still boot you were this my channel, if only for being a smartass about it
15:55.11JunkHeadfewyn
15:55.27JunkHeaddid you ever get your question about inactive characters figured out? I just saw it on twitter.
15:55.32fewynyeah
15:55.39JunkHeadI was gonna suggest something too
15:55.41fewynyou can try to character transfer
15:55.53JunkHeadlog in, and go to the account, and check what characters are yeah
15:55.54JunkHeadnm.

15:56.07JunkHeadi check trasnfer eligibility
15:56.12fewynlol blizzardcs just replied to the tweet
15:56.20JunkHeadYup. thats why i saw it.:P
15:56.33JunkHeadi saw their answer i was like... no just check transfers...
15:57.08JunkHeadbut i guess that doesnt help you if you got a really awesome character under lvl 10....

20:30.49Amarande*blink* *blink*
20:30.53Amarandewhen did THIS happen?
20:31.15AmarandeI was reading a thread on the Bnet forums just now, and mousing over someone's guild name I saw "Level 25 Neutral Guild"
20:31.26Amarande... when did WoW start having neutral guilds? *blink*
20:31.35fewyn?
20:31.36JunkHeadthey didnt
20:31.47fewynlink?
20:31.54Amarandehttp://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2267589498
20:31.58kullervoEraclito: if you gain a title and then lose it, you'll equip some other title
20:32.07Amarandemouse over the Anam Cara guy near the end, for me it said "level 25 neutral guild"

20:32.16kullervofor instance, some scenarios, raids, etc
20:32.25fewynno idea Amarande
20:32.27fewynshrug
20:32.31Amarandeand I'm not entirely sure that's a bug, since Currybeef's guild further up is listed as an Alliance guild
20:32.36JunkHeadits a horde guild
20:32.46Stormkittysays neutral for me
20:32.49AmarandeYeah, I've played on Ysera, so that I knew
20:32.55StormkittyEscaping Into Insanity says neutral too
20:32.59JunkHeadhovering over it it says nuetral yeah
20:33.00Amarandebut for some reason it's saying Neutral instead of Horde ...
20:33.05Stormkittyso does Moonside
20:33.05JunkHeadbut its a horde guild if you click on it
20:33.11StormkittyI think there's a display error atm
20:33.13JunkHeadas for why it says beutral... shit if i know
20:33.15fewynit's probably a bug
20:33.17Amarandehuh, weird
20:33.17JunkHeadneutral
20:33.26Amarandeone wonders how there's even coding for a 'neutral guild' at all, though
20:33.38Amarandeyou'd think that would be a boolean :P
20:33.51JunkHeadmaybe blizz finally got tired of players claiming horde favortism and alliance favortism.
20:33.58JunkHeadSaid the hell with everyone.
20:34.00Amarandepossibly some sort of compatibility feature with mop, maybe
20:34.28Amarandeprobably the designator exists just to cover the shouldn't-happen case where an unfactioned pandaren somehow founds a guild (which I'm pretty sure isn't actually possible)
20:34.33Amarandebut it shouldn't be showing up on the boards :)
20:35.09JunkHeadcurrybeef is a 90 tauren hunter
20:35.16JunkHeadin a lvl alliance guild
20:35.22Amarande... yeah, that's odd, too
20:35.26JunkHeadlvl 1
20:35.43Amarandeand I could have sworn Undying was a more established guild than that
20:35.45JunkHeadcould be a bug relating to a guild faction transfer also.
20:36.47Amarandeended up on this thread when I was referencing the Valafar affair when talking to some SW:TOR friends about guild dynamics in MMOs.
20:36.58Amarandewhich is probably why Ysera has things like 700+ member guilds that don't raid
20:37.22Amarandewe're friendly enough to attract a large population but apparently the hardcore raiding spirit got stolen from the server way back in vanilla :(
20:55.25Amarande*checks up on the WoD latest notes*
20:55.49Amarandeam I getting a correct vibe that the changes for 6.0 are slanted towards being PvP oriented or am I reading the notes wrong?
20:56.13Amarande(and not really counting statsquish as a "change" since that's just number maintenance so we don't become Disgaea: The MMO)
20:58.49Mr_Rabiesthey're not any more towards being pvp than pve
20:59.02Mr_Rabiesfirst off, losing hit and expertise is a huge pve change
21:00.38Amarandeyeah, that's probably been on everyone's wishlist for a while
21:00.49Amarandehell, that was one of the *biggest* reasons I barely got to try raiding in BC
21:01.14Amarandebecause 202 hit rating was ginormous with the available gear pre-raid back then (especially with heroics being a step ABOVE raiding for most people, as they wanted raid geared folks for quick runs)
21:01.28Amarandeheh. yeah. another reason we need stat squishes. :)
21:01.40Amarande202 hit rating? that's like ... less than one piece of gear in MoP LOL
21:01.50Amarandein BC it was all you needed on a caster
21:03.30Stormkittypffft, all I needed was 64.
21:04.15Mr_Rabiespart of the reason most people didn't get to raid much in tbc was the terrible attunement system
21:04.30Mr_Rabiesand basically having to run each raid in order to some extent
21:04.59Amarandeon the good side, Kara was one of the most uniquely atmospheric dungeons in the entire game :)
21:05.12AmarandeI find about the only other place that really feels similar atmospherically is probably Scholomance
21:05.18Amarande(and the newer one seems less so than the old)
21:05.33Mr_Rabieskara was nice but didn't make much sense
21:05.46AmarandeI think because Kara and old Scholo were both huge, but new Scholo is a good bit smaller
21:05.51Mr_Rabiesit felt like the dungeon and the bosses had very little synergy
21:06.02Amarandewell, it was a mad mage's tower, pretty much
21:06.03Eraclitoi miss the closed rooms of scholomance
21:06.12Mr_Rabiesdoesn't new scholo pretty much just get rid of rattlegore's room?
21:06.13Amarandethose sort of things tend to be, well, a little bit random
21:06.19Mr_Rabiesand the rest is roughly the same?
21:06.29AmarandeMr_Rabies: plus the 6 bosses near Gandling are gone, and Ras Frostwhisper's old room is gone
21:06.30Mr_Rabiesoh, the end part
21:06.31Mr_Rabiesyeah
21:06.38Mr_Rabiesi'm okay with removing literally all of those
21:06.38Amarandealong with Ras, and the nice epic robe he dropped :(
21:06.51Amarandealthough when it comes to more recent changes to 1-60 content I miss crafting recipes more
21:07.10AmarandeI tend to get pretty completist when I take a crafting profession, so that can bug a person to no end
21:07.30Mr_Rabiesi just turn off ones that aren't obtainable anymore in ackis recipe list
21:07.42AmarandeProbably the worst hit is Engineering, on balance
21:07.44Mr_Rabiesand get what is
21:07.57Amarandethat one rifle that dropped in EPL seems to be gone, although nobody seems to have actually confirmed it for sure
21:08.04Mr_Rabieswhich?
21:08.10Amarandeflawless arcanite, I think?
21:08.42Amarandeit was dropped by the troll hunters at dammit what was the name, Mazarbul? no that was LOTR ... oh, right. Zul'Mashar
21:09.02Amarandebut when they went from level 58-60 to mid 40s mobs it seemed to go away
21:09.35Amarande(although on the bright side of things they seemed to realise the fact that there's less places to get thorium now and more to get mithril, and engineering doesn't require nearly so many exotic mats to level up anymore)
21:09.58AmarandeI think dense stone and thorium alone get you to 300 now without needing any oddballs at the last few points :)
21:10.37Amarandebut yeah as for why engi would be worse hit, because the Cobalt Mageweavers are gone and a lot of rare high level drop recipes were stacked on those guys
21:11.06Amaranderobe of winter night, greater arcane protection potion, and arcanite dragonling
21:11.20Amarande(which with stat squish should actually be a useful thing to have in the first few levels of BC, too)
21:11.29Mr_Rabiesyeah seems like it was removed
21:11.58Amaranderobe of winter night was nice for mog and was also BoP, but otherwise was just a typical equipment item
21:12.27AmarandeI suppose the arcane prot potions might be halfway useful in some situations, although the biggest one of those was deleveled now so you already went through it by then (I guess you might find it a little useful in Mana Tombs, not sure how much so though)
21:12.56Amarandeyou can still get the dragonling, but it's a pain in the ass and unless you buy it from AH you have to be well past its useful level to get it :S
21:13.37Mr_Rabiesarcanite dragonling is definitely still obtainable
21:13.48Amarandeyeah, but not as a drop at the level range where it is still useful
21:14.01Amarandeyou need to either buy it from AH, or have the northrend wormhole device which means you're in the mid 70s at least
21:14.13Mr_Rabiesthe mats to make it already make it infeasible to make for its original use
21:14.37Amarandeyeah, to get arcanite you pretty much need your own dedicated alchemist and be light on the selling
21:15.00Amarandeat least from how I understand it (cooldown transmutes lock out even transmutes that don't have a cooldown because it's your "stone" that's on CD, right?)
21:15.28Amarandeso arcanite itself doesn't have a CD but most alchemists are probably *on* CD for transmute because they made something current that does have one
21:17.23Mr_Rabiesif it has a cooldown, everything that has that same cooldown is on cooldown
21:17.32Mr_Rabiesbut if it doesn't then you can xmute it as much as you want
21:18.33Amarandeah, so if the cooldown from a transmute was removed then it has no cooldown period altogether, that's nice
21:18.56Amarande(I had wondered if transmutes that previously had a cooldown, but no longer do, are still affected by the global "transmute cooldown" if you xmute something that still does have one)
21:20.10Amarandesince in particular back when you needed a philosopher's or alchemist's stone to do transmutes, I remember the CD was attached to the stone, which was a required tool for xmute
21:22.51Amarandehah no wonder hunters are complaining so loudly
21:23.19Amarandethey're not only getting all incensed over survival losing kill shot (dudes, Kill SHOT is the ability you're losing, you can still kill shit :P)
21:23.33Amarandebut apparently the "favoured stat" thing for marks is crit and for surv is multistrike
21:23.52AmarandeI'm still a little iffy about how well multistrike is going to go over in terms of raid dynamics, and for the same reason as crit really :)
21:24.56Amarandewhereas specs whose favoured secondary stat (the one that gets the bonus, which I'm going to guess will usually turn out to be "the stat to stack"?) is Haste will be well loved, especially with the reduction in on-the-run abilities
21:25.23Amarande(problem with both crit and multistrike: greatly increased chance of starting phases too soon, which is fatal in many scenarios)
22:34.04Amarandehm
22:34.11Amarandeweapon imbue removal seems sweet, though :)
22:34.40Amarandein 6.0 I can use wizard oils for a little boost on my ellie shaman when leveling, since the tench slot isn't going to be constantly taken up by a class buff
22:36.03Eraclitowizard oils! it's AGES since i last thought about them
22:36.30Amarandeprobably will be nice ... wait, statsquish takes care of that
22:36.48Amarandeprobably will be nice ... well actually hmm maybe they will be for a short bit depending on how well statsquish addressed That One Spot
22:37.07Amarandesince you probably DO still have a low enough item level weapon going INTO cata areas if you're anything like me
22:37.29Amarandeand you don't get a 272 till later (sometimes much later, some slots you don't even get to fill in Hyjal/Vashj'ir and are still using Wrath gear all the way up to Deepholm ...)
22:38.06Amarande(I presume the Outland and Northrend transitions will be pretty fully smoothed by statsquish but I'm not sure about Cata because of just how steep that jump is)
22:38.40StormkittyApparently if I go back to a DP3 build from GCD cap, I don't even have to reforge.
22:38.43StormkittyJust change half my gems
22:40.11StormkittyAmarande, it's apparently been smoothed out so much you don't even notice you're in a new expansion
