SERVER DESCRIPTION
>When does it launch?
March 31'st
>What it is?
Brand new vanilla WoW private server administered by Twinstar
>Who are they?
Here's a list of people of importance for Twinstar. I don't know any of them enough to see red flags or not, so someone better mention it if they do. They have five different servers that range from vanilla to Cata. They appear to have originated from Central Europe, probably Czechoslovakia.
http://archive.is/fwUnK
>Are they good?
The earliest announcement I found from their site is here: https://www.twinstar.cz/2011/11/10/if-tsdev-count-10-twinstar-cool-yourmoney/?lang=en
which would mean they've around for at least seven years, if not more. They appear to be well received by the general private server community.
>What will get me b&?
http://www.kronos-wow.com/project-kronos-rules/
While these are for the standard Kronos server, they will probably be the same or similar for Kronos III.
PERTINENT ANON INFORMATION
<Poll of who's playing alliance vs. horde, from anons ITT and previous threads
www.strawpoll.me/15011652
<Will there be a goycord?
Negative. Having a WoW name is bad enough without tacking on another ego to it outside of game.
<How can we ever raid without a goycord?
Temp VOIP servers, up for 24 hours and then they won't work anymore.That point may be moot though, it's notoriously hard to collect enough anons to raid, like herding cats.
<Will there be a book of grudges? If I can't have my goycord, I insist on my book of grudges.
ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE. To be clear, the book of grudges is designed for the hunting of faggots. You losing to someone does not qualify, that means you need a healthy does of "git gud." Being camped is just punishment for your lack of "git gud."
<What constitutes a "faggot?"
You'll know one when you meet one, but some general guidelines would be things like "getting upset at words and/or facts." Another could be "a retail faggot crying that 'muh banilla is too hard' or some similar line." Just a few examples, I'm sure anons ITT can hammer more concrete examples out.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fFRBSQiDx0divYa6Z0NPVl6q9Id61QI3-zi6LV2NVTA/edit?usp=sharing
<Will 8v be playing one faction?
Negative. It is extremely doubtful that we'll ever have enough anons to actually raid with (for reasons listed previously in post) so you can either play with fellow anons in <Infinity> on horde side or <Folly> on alliance side, while it is generally recommended that you disperse into normalfaggot guilds for actual raiding, and then, if you so desire, you can snag your old guild-mates for PUG's, raids, etc. etc.
Herbalism a best, mining a meme, engineering almost rhymes with killing, hunters exist to steal ranged weapons from rogues and warriors, and alliance can't into warlocks but paladins exist.

Druids: Heal only. There is some talk about boomkin being a bit viable (not optimal) if you bring fucktons of pots and actually dedicate to them and put more effort. Rarely will anyone want you unless to heal or provide the extra combat ress that they have.
Mages: On demand all the time.
Locks: On demand, too. Lots of utility and great debuffs.
Rogues: Best dps and are on demand all the time.
Warriors: fantastic dps and top demand for dungeons for tanking and raiding
Shamans: Heal only, with the same viability for ele if you dedicate much into it. Enh is there for windfury totem to greatly buff the melee and turn them into monsters.
Priests: On demand and best healers. Shadow become viable later to buff your locks and shadow dmg
Paladin: heal only, horrible tank and shit dps (but again there is some dispute about ret being able to dps, maybe a bug that made it).
Huntards: shit dps? but are needed for tranquilizer shots which are a MUST in order to remove enrage buffs of raid bosses.
Generally, hybrid classes (shamans/pala/druid/priest) should only heal (except in few cases where they provide buffs with their dps spec like shadow priest enh shaman and only then you get like max 1 of em or something)
Main damage dealers rogue/warrior/mage/lock
Main tanks: warriors only, pala are great in dungeons but in raids they are there for aoe packs
Bear in mind that I did not raid ever in vanilla, but this is the gist of what I know from reading.

Are you trolling him? Rogue is the most overpopulated class on every server ever and getting a spot in a raid is incredibly difficult.
Each raid also always needs 1 and only 1 shadow priest, they're never not viable but you never bring more than 1 because they eat up debuff slots. So it's hard to get raid spots as a shadow priest.
Also, the non-meta specs like ret paladin, cat druid, boomkin or ele/enhance shamans are never viable. If you play one of those classes and you aren't last on the DPS meter, then it's your raid that sucks. The game just isn't balanced right. There was a bug on Kronos 1 where you could get infinite mana, and our boomkin still couldn't beat anyone on the meters.

the raids aren't undertuned retard, try again.
additionally, the character auction was only for chars that other players leveled and geared themselves, they weren't generated like on other shitty p servers, and it isn't even on the fucking K3 server at all so you have no point there either.
and the server is the single least buggiest p server i've played on. it's certainly miles above shitlysium and nostshit.

2nd post is inaccurate. Horde can put a Windfury Totem on the tank group and watch the MT's threat output explode. In addition the melee groups are the only places you'd see a WF totem instead of Tranquil Air. That said, it's definitely easier to keep a raid buffed on Salvation than to cover everyone under Tranquil Air Totems, esp. i those fights where you have to move. Also Shamans can dispel all those Paladin blessings with their purge, and their totems can remove diseases, poisons, and Fear/Charm effects in regular aoe pulses. Unlike Paladins, Shamans can also Chain Heal and nuke. Despite Paladins being pure supports in plate, Shamans actually scale better as healers.
In bad battlegrounds a Paladin can expect to bless like crazy and enjoy, but as the PvP skill level improves, he can expect to have all his buffs removed by any horde shamans/priests/warlocks (felhunter devours your blessing), turning him into an indestructible healer (spirit of redemption priests do this too) and dispeller. Paladin utility falls off at higher levels. That said their blessings have some use and thei auras are nice and they can make hilariously potent supports for nuke priests with judgement of the crusader and sanctity aura, but Paladins become much less effective once you're dealing with Horde that knows how to dispel.
d158ef No.14428126
>>14427268
Even though a horde tank will output a lot of threat, he has to contend with fury warriors that have windfury which is a lot more demanding than an alliance warrior with blessing of salvation. Also a horde raid very rarely has the luxury of putting down tranquil air since shamans are prioritized for tank and melee groups. The reason why tranquil air doesn't compare to blessing of salvation is because you can make sure every high threat class has salvation while horde needs to put 2 shamans in every melee group AND a shaman in every warlock group to get the same effect. A ridiculous proposition that would never happen in a real raid.

Still less cancerous than chinks hope. You're paying for characters that have been leveled manually and would just be left to rot otherwise. It has no real impact on the game. Plus I believe it's being removed with K3 in favour of donations.
>2) The server's difficulty is extremely undertuned, raids are incredibly easy
They are hard because pathing is completely fucking broken and bosses will randomly teleport around
>3) The server is still buggy after all these years, and the GMs wont complete quests for you unless you're a donator
From what I've heard (and seen) the quests were a lot more complete than Nostalrius' ever was. But since valkyrie picked it up and Kronos died this might have changed in favour of chinks hope.
Shit like the undead warrior level 10 quest was scripted on kronos meanwhile it wasn't on nostalrius. I could be wrong though I didn't level too much on Kronos. It was pretty fucking buggy at 60 that's for sure.

1 paladin can blanket the entire raid in salvation. You need fucking 8 shamans to get the same results. Trying to compare the two as if they are even remotely balanced is just being dishonest or fucking stupid. Horde scales better into Naxx and AQ but that's only relevant for top tier turbo autism guilds that are good enough to have every condition necessary to benefit from shamans, which is incredibly rare for 99% of guilds.
Theory only takes you so far. You will never see a raid composition with the quality and quantity of players and classes to even remotely compete with an alliance equivalent with just a handful of paladins who only need to spam 1 heal without ever being concerned about mana or overhealing.
If you've ever actually tried to form a raid group on horde before you'll know that shamans are virtually impossible to find, let alone 8 of them. One the ones you do find will be specced into retarded shit and want to play ele or enh.
Alliance is the brain dead babby mode faction. It's quite literally playing the game on easy mode.

Just having windfury in the MT group will increase the amount of threat Warlocks can exert without risking stealing aggro. Not as good as salv (unless they have tranquil air totem on top of WF tanks), but still a boost.
>>14428213
Calm your tits nigger. I'm not denying that alliance has a much easier time with reducing everyone's threat. I'm just pointing out that WF totem on the tank group is a huge increase in the threat cap for everyone else.
Also any raid shaman is resto spec, even if they have to respec and despec for raids.
>>14428265
Meh, got some disagreements there. Tauren Shaman is best Shaman, since Shamans need the CC and you can cast while your enemies are stunned, giving you a minor Nature's Swiftness in the form of a racial. Also the Shaman trinket already breaks stuns.
Human is pretty much the absolute bottom of PvP races. Perception is just trash. It doesn't work on vanished rogues (stealth level too impossibly high) and it's hard to know when is the right time to pop perception to spot a nearby rogue.
Dwarf is a solid PvP pick since their stoneform breaks Rogue blind, removes poisons, removes bleeds, and removes devouring plague (it's a disease), the frost resist doesn't hurt either, and I think the tier list is underrating dwarves.
Troll Priests are definitely better than Human Priests. Their hex of weakness debuffs healing received by 20% and their Shadowguard does fuckhuge piles of damage with spell damage gear. It makes a massive difference in a shadow priest's DPS. If not for WotF, I'd say Troll > Undead, but as it stands, Troll is still a strong PvP pick.
Orc Warlock is also a bit underrated. A Warlock can usually deal with fears well enough he doesn't need WotF (self-purge with felhunter and trinket), but he has no protection against stuns other than LAPs/FAPs unless it's a magical stun that can get devoured by the felhunter.

I'm writing this autistic post because I want to help us succeed as a guild, don't judge me.
Warrior (PvP) is dead wrong, Undead should be higher than orc. Will of the Forsaken is and will always be an overpowered PvP racial.
I also want to comment that Human being top PvE for warrior and rogue is a big fucking deal. +5 weaponskill is a ridiculous damage increase, if you roll one of the other Alliance races then you are FUCKED.
PvE priest is right that Dwarf is top, but it's wrong that Human is 2nd. People look at the spirit bonus and think Human is a good choice, then they reach level 60 and find out that nobody wants to bring them to raid. ```You aren't raiding without fearward. Choosing Human for your priest is as bad as choosing Night Elf. ```
Both the Human warrior/rogue meta and the Dwarf priest meta are why I hate alliance, people will level a character to 60 and THEN realize that they chose the wrong race, and then they're just fucked. On Horde side, the racial meta is a bit less strict, so nobody gets fucked in the ass for their choices.

50% of the chinese population is still alot when chinks were 70% of the fucking server.
additionally, i donno what bugs you experienced when you played, but i leveled a dorf hunter from 1-59 these past 3 weeks to see how kronos was bug-wise, because i didn't want to roll on K3 if K2 was buggy as hell, and found only 3 minor bugs, one being the pet sometimes disappears when you take the boat/zeppelin, the other two being insignificant shit that was fixed by relogging, like a quest not being able to be turned in even tho completed.
i leveled up mostly by questing and found no other bugs besides that which i just mentioned on that front.
i ran the following instances so far and have found 0 bugs in the mobs or instances themselves: wc, vc, stockades, bfd, gnomer, rfk, rfd, sm (all wings), zf, ulda st, brd (multiple full runs). so yeah it might've been buggy when you played it, donno, but i just leveled up recently and it was very bug-free so i'm calling bullshit.

Yes, they gave you like +0.2% hit vs block, +0.2% hit vs dodge, +0.2% hit vs parry. It's too marginal to matter. It's only important for PvE where weapon skill has major benefits in getting rid of glancing blows where you hit for less damage. There are no glancing blows in PvP though.

Ele Shamans are actually monster DPS when they actually work. The talent support is just nuts. You can get your lightning with a 1 second cast time reduction (this is fucking massive for spelldmg per second scaling), +11% crit, +5% damage, and +3% spellhit on the same talent build.

Powershifting really does work to boost DPS beyond what ferals were thought to be capable of by spamming abilities faster than your energy should regen, and Manual Crowd Pummelers mean you get +50% attack speed, another massive DPS booster.

IF you want to sperg I recommend heading back to cuckchan. you're using a outdated copy pasta and getting upset at a server host that has not only removed gold sellers but removed chance of account compromising by using the account selling market to their advantage. Sure you can buy a T3 mage, but you're going to be getting by not on your skill with the class but just the gear it's got on it. Also your post is retarded because you can also trade for said accounts.

Problem is lock relies a lot of dots and in raids, a big part of PvE, they lose out DPS. With hunters you're ment to also combine the DPS of their pets with the hunter as it's part of the hunter's class

Considering it takes into account the best 4/5 last raids across an entire naxxramas run, it's a bit of a stretch to assume that the same mage will consistently be lucky with getting the first ignite enough for it to make a difference compared to the mages that are feeding him DPS.

I'm leveling a warlock right now while waiting for K3 and I need some thoughts on talents and gameplay.
1. Improved Drain Mana: 30% of mana drained is dealt as damage, which amounts to about half as much dps as drain life and 1/3 shadowbolt. How often does drain mana come into play? Is it even viable in pvp?
2. Curse of Exhaustion. In PvE it's only useful once in a blue moon when you're soloing some full-party tier elite mob. Or could there be something else to it? In PvP it's only useful on warriors and rogues, but rogues can vanish it or remove it with Improved Sprint and warriors are going to slow you by 50% so you both will be crawling around.
3. What's the most optimal way to kill mobs? 2, 3 or 4 at once? At what point health loss is not worth the dps boost from dots?
78d9aa No.14435741
>>14435718
I don't know why you'd ever use exhaustion when you can just fear but I'm no expert.
782103 No.14435801
>>14435741
Elementals and undead are immune to fear and some mobs have way too much health to fear constantly. Just today I was trying to kill some elite giant in badlands and ran out of mana by the time I got it down to 40%. Fear costs more than what you can regen in 10 sec, but you can regen some mana between casts of exhaustion and can also wand safely when you get osme distance (without fear to break fear).

Imp Mana Drain is useless. The damage is worthless. Mana Drain is sometimes useful, but not useful enough and not useful often enough to waste talent points on.
Exhaustion can be useful, but it's super overrated. Amp'd Curse of Agony will usually do a hell of a lot more for you, since like you said, most classes won't be too bothered by a 30% or 50% snare since you have no escape tools of your own. Ironically enough, Curse of Exhaustion is most useful against other Warlocks.
For mob killing, it depends on what you're fighting and how much shadow and spell dmg you have. The optimal way to do it is to Corr > Immo > CoA > SL while your Void is tanking, then you pull aggro, the mob runs to you, the mob runs away in fear before it gets to you and you Drain Soul. While the mob runs to you, you send your Void to the next mob to set up your dots, rinse and repeat until your Void is OOM. In reality, you'll need to Fear mobs as your Void loses aggro and run away from them so the Feared mobs take longer to reach you. Drain tanking is extremely sub-optimal, as is using your Fel Hunter/Imp as mana battery. One of the best tips I can give you is to manually cast your Void's Torment ability every 6 seconds instead of letting it auto cast so that your Void gets a tick of mana regen between Torments. You'll still pull aggro between the second and third Torment, but you'll be able to spend 5+ minutes fighting non-stop instead of 2-3 minutes before your Void runs out of mana. And if you do things properly, your Voidwalker WILL need to be resummoned before you need to eat and drink.
If you're expecting to do a lot of PvP, use a spec like this and fill up the Aff tree first http://armory.twinstar.cz/talent-calc.php?cid=9&d=vanilla&tal=35022005122010000205030014200000000000000000000000

>1. Improved Drain Mana: 30% of mana drained is dealt as damage, which amounts to about half as much dps as drain life and 1/3 shadowbolt. How often does drain mana come into play?
No one uses that talent. The damage is completely horrible.
>Is it even viable in pvp?
Ever since they nerfed Drain Mana so it can't be used while enemies are seduced, not really. The main uses of Drain Mana are in mana attrition fights against priests/shamans/paladins/druids who attempt to outlast you through healing, but paladins and priests can both dispel your Drain Mana. Usually you just want to spell lock healers with a Felhunter (or just Fear) and murder them while they can't heal. In Burning Crusade it becomes a bit more viable since Contagion and Unstable Affliction talents make it harder to dispel. The only time you might Drain Mana is basically vs Druids and Shamans that heal because their mana pool will keep their health pool going. Otherwise, just kill 'em.
>Curse of Exhaustion
Yeah, it's fucked. But if you're a Gnome you can Escape Artist out of the Warrior slow and begin kiting him with Curse of Exhaustion. Just make sure to deadzone him (ie. stay outside his melee range but inside his minimum intercept range), but once he drops Piercing Howl it's back to slowpoke land. It helps a lot to add an Engineering Discombobulator Ray on top of an amplified Curse of Exhaustion or to use a Free Action Potion so you can run circles around the guy while he's slowed. By itself though CoEx is pretty shitty, which was a recurring vanilla complaint about Warlocks. It's good in mass PvP if they don't have a druid or mage though, since you can just CoEx a lot of enemies from a massive distance.

CTRL+F for "useful warlock info" and read top left corner post under "is lock a pain in the ass to level" greentext. The other way to grind mobs is once you have siphon life you just start aoe kiting mobs with instant dots (corruption, CoA, siphon life) and you keep running so they never hit you.

Iron Guard fell apart because it didn't have any real officers. The GM was a bit of a sperg but he was essentially doing the work of 5 people and it made raiding a miserable experience for everyone.
Healing assignments were never done, buff assignments were never done, basic shit that officers should have been doing that would have made the raids much smoother was just ignored. The GM was raid leading, distributing loot, everything you could think of.
Most people here seem to be of the same mindset as the people in Iron Guard. It didn't fall apart because of drama or goycord (not that I want to use that cancer), it fell apart because raid leading in vanilla is incredibly difficult. If you approach the raid as a group of casuals who just want to shoot the shit and don't get the fundamentals in order because "lol who cares just a game", you'll end up with 4+ hour molten core runs.
Vanilla raiding isn't feasible without a core of autistic officers who organize and put a lot of work into the guild. Just the fact you're raiding with people you like doesn't make it fun. The act of raiding in vanilla simply isn't fun for anyone. I think you'd be very hard pressed to find a person who legitimately enjoys MC or BWL. ZG and AQ are a different story, but that's a long ways away. You raid to have fun in open world content with your guild, it's a means to an end.
So I hope you guys have experienced raid leaders.

Also on that note I realized for the book of Grudges we should hold off on adding anyone who is from either the horde or alliance guild and leave it as the "Ganjitsu clause"
For those who don't know, long before even my first rage quit there was a sperg in the guild named Ganjitsu who basically not only bailed from the guild but would bitch about us in general and world at every opportunity back when nost came out. IIRC it was like 3-4 days into nost itself when he happened.
The Ganjtisu clause is basically "Those who sperg and get ousted from the guild are safe until they start acting like little bitches about it be it in the threads or in game"
So this should cover redditors, larpers, and other shit tier faggots who want to treat the guild chat like their own personal in-joke so they can feel cool about "playing with 8ch", because faggots like that exist.

Servers die at AQ because unless you're in an established top guild who can consistently clear MC and BWL very fast raiding becomes exponentially more draining on you now that you need to clear 3 full raids each week.

What would stop you from just leveling that way though?
IIRC on nost they were fucking stupid and when I was trying out the idea of a "guild tank" account we figured out the easiest way to do it was to have 3 people in a group, a 60 to help run low level dungeons, the guild tank, and a "anchor" to keep the Gtank from being kicked from the instance.
What we'd do is Gtank kicks the 60 from the groupo, 60 is still inside instance. tank gets in initial damage, tagging it as theirs, 60 then proceeds to AoE everything down giving full EXP of elite mobs to the Gtank and from there a simple reinvite to the 60 and he's back before the timer knocks him out of the instance.
At one point I even had a macro set up as to kick the 60 and reinvite him at the same time so the prompt was there.

Correct. It rewards social behavior in an MMORPG, as it should be. Why would you penalize social behavior? You're arguing that you should create an MMORPG that penalizes people for playing together because some people might want to play by themselves. This is the same argument that brought about LFR.

Because you need a upside and downside to things to make a player choose one over the other. Typically players will still (in vanilla) communicate and in areas where the players group up for kill quests there is still a socializing aspect. But at the same time you have to remember the exp split also affects things like elite mobs which give greater than normal EXP. If you removed this sharing penalty there would be people just leveling in dungeons and foregoing the quests ins in the world as you can run these small areas, get a ton of EXP,money and loot.
While you're arguing only exp not lessened and distributed by the number of players present in a group, why not just go full retail and have crap like personal loot?
3d6547 No.14451512
>>14451472
You can adjust dungeon XP accordingly. Personal loot has nothing to do with it.
Let me put it this way. As it stands right now in order to level efficiently in vanilla you avoid grouping with players 90% of the time, never do dungeons, and never need to form long-term bonds to efficiently hit the max level. I'd much rather shoot the shit with some people while we grind every mob in sight. Now that I think about it though that would result in a lot of autistic mob tag wars that wouldn't be fun if you can't kill people on your own faction.
Vanilla really doesn't allow for a lot of fun, factions were a mistake.

Why would you play something like vanilla WoW if you don't care about efficiency? It has absolutely no redeeming factors besides being an autistic grinding simulator.
If you want to level and enjoy doing it with other people it will take you 4 times as long. Even if you just grouped with 1 other player from 1-60 you would constantly be underleveled. Punishing players for playing together is fucking retarded no matter how you spin it. "lol who cares just make your own fun stop min-maxing" is not an argument.
I would rather feel obligated to play with others than feel obligated to avoid them.

That's one of Guild Wars 2's best features. Playing with other people you meet in the world isn't detrimental. When the game came out at least, when you ran into another doing an event you went "fuck ya". When you run into someone else out in the world when you play WoW, you go "oh ffs he's gonna steal my quest mobs/drops". For all the things GW2 did wrong, other players in the world not being a pain to deal with was a MAJOR plus.

So I want to play as a Paladin. I've never really invested into playing as them but I hear a lot of mixed messages.
I hear paladins suck at tanking, yet they have the best AOE threat and generally make huge threat and can't taunt.
I Also hear paladins do ok dps for pvp yet people would rather build them as healers because of how tanky they are for it? With how they seem lacking in dps or tanking, is this why people genrally go healers with them? If so would it be bad if I actually made myself a tank paladin up to level 50?
I have never went for engineering but I know they have a lot of good stunning tools which could work great with a paladin with their long stuns.
I would like to know a viable build for paladins thats simply not a healslut that can work with engineering. I don't mind healing, but I imagine focusing on that would be terrible for leveling up or pvping.

Non-holy paladins are weak in group PvP because of their lack of impact. For solo PvP they can actually be decent since paladins have good staying power (and they can't just ignore you and go for your friends like in group PvP).
Also Gnomish death ray suits paladins perfectly since it does a lot of damage that paladins sorely lack and the fact that you can avoid the self-damage while inside your paladin bubble.

You're just going to find yourself OOM constantly as ret because you'll need to be occasionally healing people to actually be useful. It's pointless to do this and you would just be better off playing a warrior or rogue if you want to hit things.
There is no logical reason to play a DPS or tank paladin. The only reasoning behind it is thematics. I understand thematics but the only people that actually consider these specs based entirely on thematics are people who are retarded or have never hit 60 before and stepped foot into end-game content.
If you aren't a subhuman you'll quickly learn at 60 just how completely worthless you are to the team, and that should make you feel bad. Perhaps it would be acceptable if any of the meme specs were fun or interesting, but they aren't. Ret paladin is literally auto attack the class, same with shaman. On difficult encounters you'll find yourself being told to just spam heals on tank like Chromaggus.
Only play meme specs if you are well ware of what you are doing and are self-aware of your sociopathic tendencies.

>>14469336
>But the AOE threat sounds fun.
It isn't. Whatever you think sounds fun for meme specs (besides some instances of PvP), is not fun. Your "fun" will be pressing 1 button every 5 seconds and auto attacking while also forcing your group to literally just stop pressing buttons so they don't do more threat than you. You'll just be pissing off everyone who has to put up with being in your group.
I'm not trying to shit on anyones dreams, but this is how vanilla works. Raiding and dungeons are already miserable enough with people min-maxing hardcore, adding meme specs to the mix builds a serious amount of resentment in the group dynamic. You hinder up to 39 people so you can auto attack with a pink raid frame instead of a brown one. There's some e-celeb guild master on chinks hope that plays ret and he gave himself every amazing warrior piece in the game and barely beats tank dps. It's cancer.

Warrior is still better for tanking the suppression room because of the sheer number of whelps you will have on you. Also warrior will have much higher HP/Defense/Armor in T1 over a Paladin.

They were accusing him of being shady and criticizing him for prioritizing Anons from here over PUG normal faggots.

Not really. Well you're right about the NEET euros living off of their socialist governments, thats literally 90% of private server populations, but every decent guild I've been in has been fine with people ranting about niggers and faggots.
>Basically someone looted a ring out of Majordomo's chest and some people in the guild got upset about it and blamed Long(the chest is FFA).
It was his fault if you look at it as an isolated incident. The real problem is that the officers in the guild were useless and he was doing basically everything on his own including leading pugs with a bunch of random chinks and the people in the guild weren't very good players. Doing that for weeks is some of the most mentally taxing shit imaginable. But the mindset of "lel fuck normalfags let's just ninja shit shit we r anonymos" is fucking retarded, especially when you're in a pretty shit guild that can't even muster 40 people for a raid. Loot rules need to be established multiple times during the start of a raid on voice and in the chat. This is a standard practice.
So I understand the mistake, but his inability to acknowledge that he fucked up by not properly stating the loot rules was kind of silly and ultimately sealed the death of the guild. The officers crying about it but being incapable of understanding that it is their job to support the role of raid leader by doing things like heal assignments and also making sure everyone knows the loot rules was another big issue. All around it was a guild with no leadership to speak of. Just some people that wanted to hang out and talk about killing kikes, which vanilla WoW is not a very good or fun game for. In order to preform well you need to take the game more seriously than other high functioning normal person should have to.
>AoE leveling is a meme. It only works on dead servers.
Not even remotely true. I did it on chinks hope with massive population. You just need to weave it into questing where you can and know when it's viable and what spots to use. The raptors in Unguro for example are god tier for gold and xp/hour. A lot of the white items you'll get from AoE grinding will be worth good gold if you're playing at the start of the server as well because everyone will be leveling new professions in the coming weeks.

Hey, tired of leveling the same old fashioned way? Looking for some challenge and fun in the new Kronos 3 server? Then accept the
==MAD JUNKER CHALLENGE==
What is a Mad Junker challenge? It is a fun and challenging way of leveling that will cause laughter and frustration
How does it work?
The Mad Junker challenge lasts from the beginning when you make your character to the end when you reach level 60. In this challenge, you are not allowed to do some key things that you would normally do when you level. You start of the challenge by throwing away your equipment at the beginning of the challenge, including the things in your backpack. Now you must follow these set of rules:
1. No accepting or completing quests, this also includes class quests
2. No buying things from vendor or AH, this also includes food, mats and mount
3. No boosting or receiving financial or material help from other players
The moment you break these rules, the challenge fails
What you are allowed to do:
1. Sell things
2. Pick up spells and abilities from trainer
3. Use talent tree
4. Picking loot from your corpses
5. Going to dungeons with other players or doing group quests with similar leveled players (Note you must not accept their group quest or do any kind of multi boxing, which is considered boosting)
6. Repair
7. Use taxi service
8. Get hearthstone from the innkeeper and use it
9. You can play any class/race/faction you like
The beauty of the Mad Junker challenge is that your entire equipment and loot will come from the mobs rather than quests.
The Mad Junker challenge lasts until the moment you ding to 60. Once you reach 60, you will successfully complete the challenge

Do chinks really fill up lights hope?
I have been playing for quite a long time still when elysium splitted up into it.
To be honest when I made a paladin, I had a lot of people interact with me, I had level 60s jumping in to save me, talk to me and even secure some ores and chests. Which is suprising since most 60s generally afk in a big city for ony buff. I am not sure if this is just because of the low level areas or that I tuned out the chinks but I have not noticed many Xiao players.

update on my journey thru K2 to find any bugs. pet pathing is a bit lackluster but not nearly as bad as folks have said and is on the list of stuff being fixed for K3 so not worried there. on my huntard i've run the following dungeons and raids: vc, wc, stockade, gnomer, sfk, bfd, rfk rfd, zf, st, brd, scholo, strat ud/live, dm(all wings), lbrs, ubrs, zg, aq20, mc. there have been 0 bugs with bosses or ai pathing inside the dungeons outside of pets as previously stated. i'm doing ony in a few days and will update if there's any bugs there but i doubt it. only found a few bugs with quests out in the world and all but one were fixed by relogging (the one that wasn't was that the questreceiver in the rebel camp right as you enter stv from duskwood wasn't able to have the q turned into him).
so very bugfree so far, overall.
however, one issue that did bug me is that certain mineral nodes are oversaturated compared to blizzard vanilla, specifically gold, and to a lesser extent truesilver. this has resulted in the price of gold and truesilver being so undercut most of the time that you have retards actually auctioning it for less than vendor price. however other nodes that aren't oversaturated still sell very good on AH, like thorium and mithril in particular are very good moneymakers. for example, you can go to andorhal river in wpl and just go up and down the river and have 30-40 gold ore in around 15minutes. that's the only actual issue i've found on the otherwise very smooth and well-scripted server.

Wanna calm down? You're getting riled up over nothing. moving to /vg/, which is going full vidya is going to be the healthier choice in the long run when it comes to longevity of these threads. Unless you want to keep them running here, waiting for shit like this to be used as an excuse to shut them down.

What happened? I refuse to post anywhere besides these threads after the obese kike banned me over and over again for an hour straight for absolutely no reason what so ever a few days ago.
>>14501218
Going to a dead /vg/ board is hardly a long-term solution. I don't know what happened that is making people talk of an exodus because I was sperging about that a few days ago so it's unrelated, but I agree. This board has gone to complete shit and I'm not sure why anyone expects otherwise with a literal jew running it.

well even tho /vg/ is deader than /v/ atm, i'm gonna post there regularly for awhile atleast, if other anons do too then maybe we can make it more active. mark unstickied the cs1.6 gamenight thread, then banned a bunch of anons for 6hrs when they called him out on it, which is pretty much bullshit. plus he deleted the "solve this puzzle" thread the one anon started, and the "tell your stories of griefing in vidya" thread a few weeks back, all of which are vidya-related and none of which had reason to be deleted imo.

It's fine as a temporary sanctuary in case the fat kikes autism flares up again, but generals are despised by most people on 8chan and it's deemed as cuckchan culture, which isn't inherently wrong. So a board dedicated to them will never take off.
A couple here or there on a slow site like this isn't the end of the world though, but if you move these threads entirely to a dead board it will just be 10 anons circle jerking until it dies off again. You won't attract any new or returning players because literally no one actively visits /vg/ to check things out.
Why is the kronos thread being blamed for shit-posting in the game night thread though? I still don't understand.
The best we can hope for now is the fat kike continuing to be a retard and ban on topic discussion. Maybe people will wake up and someone who isn't a literal jew will make a new board. It's hilarious watching cuckchan retards in awe whenever he starts to namefag like they are witnessing moot himself or some shit then they start to suck his cock every time he ""apologizes"" for deleting good discussion routinely and consistently. This place is fucked.

Mark's gone and fucked the /radcorp/ guys over again, this time, unsticking the CS gamenight at one point last night for that Sonic mania announcement really why can't he sticky both, it's not hard. not only does OP feel slighted, but most of the anons. resulting in over 70% of the UID count in the thread being banned and mark telling people to go back to cuckchan if they don't like his A-log tier actions.
>/vg/ is dead
It's only dead due to people not posting, more people post, less dead it becomes. help me help you logic

I had to have Toomy explain what the fuck happened because after I peaked in on the very first everyst thread created I knew it was going to go badly and added Everyst to my filter to hide the threads. I also know by nature anons will take anything negative said about things they like as a personal attack done by a specific person. So I could stand with my hands behind my back and still have retards like you accusing me of starting the house fire because I left the house in a huff

I didn't actually realise how many people moved over to /vg/. It's actually looking pretty active and the BO is engaging in meta discussion.
This is looking a lot more promising than I thought. I thought it was just some small move only this general was doing. If people are legitimately migrating there and it's allowing non-general threads to be made it could be great.
Now we just need to hope the BO isn't a retarded kike. They seem to naturally gravitate to moderation roles on forums.

You forgot to mention that even after both threads were stickied that the CS thread was still filled with meta shit with mark himself participating in the faggotry and then banning himself and the rest of the metafags. Now you and a few other generals are taking this latest drama and are trying to start a coup to D&C the board.

Bullshit, you've been trying to shill /vg/ this entire time. Also notice how most of the bans were for meta shit in the CS thread. They were also for 2 hours with only a couple of posters getting 6 hours. You smell more Jewish than Mark.

Mark banned me for on topic discussion. He kept banning me and another poster while we continued to have that discussion despite his constant deletion of our posts. The conversation was literally about the original post in the thread. If he thought the conversation was off topic then he should have deleted the thread. He didn't.

tank paladins can generate completely retarded amounts of threat in a raid setting if you cast judgement of light
if you have the dps only autoattack/wand for 10 seconds then go all out, they won't pull aggro
however, tank paladins are not uncrushable; 2 bad crushing blows and thats it
paladins are not MTs
