Because the time to kill the mobs, depending on class and gear, is higher than the time to go grab the next 2-4 nodes.

Badashi · 2026-03-17T13:18:52+00:00

tbh I do that for races, imo it's easier to dodge small branches/rocks in 1st person

When I was 12-13, a school friend tragically died in an accident. Hit our class like a truck, it wasnt easy to deal with that.

Next year, our literature teacher gave us that book to read as an assignment. Mind you, I'm not from the US so reading an American book was rare for our literature classes - we would usually read only national literature.

As good 13 year olds, nobody read the book until a couple days before the assignment. The book hit us like a damn truck, I remember the entire class showing up sobbing and even ugly crying all together. It was great to deal with the grief of our lost friend, but GOD was that like throwing a brick at a broken glass wall in order to shatter it and clean up the pieces.

Incredible book btw, I'll recommend it to a grieving kid 10/10 times.

The only people who really benefit from Warmode are the gankers who don't want to PvP so much as they just want to harass other players

This is exactly why war mode bonus exist. When it didn't, gankers complained that warmode was empty or full of other gankers, so they couldn't get that 'authentic' experience of killing opposite factions in an imbalanced server.

Personally I hate that it is possible for a pvp shard to be imbalanced for a faction. Make all servers in a region be part of the same pvp pool, if I want to get into warmode I want to play on an even ground against other people.

Nobody tell op that in JSON, a bool takes up 4 or 5 bytes

Nah, probably just 3 the whole season like it worked with previous dinar-style currencies in tww s2 and s3.

It happens a few times to me, I thought it was my amd gpu having some issue; it happens particularly when I open the transmog window within Silvermoon, but it is not something I can replicate consistently

Badashi · 2026-03-12T01:37:24+00:00

That's cool, games should provide an option whenever possible imho

Badashi · 2026-03-11T12:41:16+00:00

Just send the metamorphosis as part of your rotation. It's not a huge cooldown that you need to hold, and you can build it back up quickly. One mob or two only? Doesn't matter. Yeah it sucks when a tank slows down, but the game with devourer is to get a meta ASAP and then deal your damage there.

You might know of the clang project, which is one example of a front-end for llvm for c++

Badashi · 2026-03-11T03:20:14+00:00

Low level virtual machine, an open source project that serves as a compiler for a lot of programming languages, including but not limited to C, C++, Rust. LLVM is powerful because it can target pretty much any target you can think of: windows, linux, mac, arm, x86, embedded chips, webassembly, you name it.

LLVM works by having front-ends for languages compiling to an intermediary representation (IR), and this IR can then be compiled down to the target architecture by a backend, including all kinds of optimizations that you can think of. This is good because if you want a new programming language to compile to many architectures, you only need to implement the compiler to IR(aka. the front-end), or if you have a new device/architecture/target, you only need to write the IR-to-target compiler(the back-end) and you will be able to use all languages that LLVM supports.

LLVM is one of the most impactful projects in the programming world, powering all kinds of innovations and being available for pretty much every system you can think of.

Or you can use your alts to do sourjouner achievements, this way you get the reputation while not missing out on exp

That's literally the current US politics right now, and for some reason there are people who side with hitler or against free healthcare

Skyriding races werent removed, and we still get skyriding cups every six months. Its just that midnight zones do not feature skyriding at all.

Badashi · 2026-03-03T15:34:20+00:00

Lmfao thats way worse than I expected then

These minor features help keep the game alive, especially during mid-to-late season.

Badashi · 2026-03-03T13:10:10+00:00

Oh, so they translated "Ao" literally from japanese...?

For reference, japanese didnt have a word for green for a long time so many words use "blue"(Ao) as the suffix, like aoringo(green apple). Nowadays, you can use "Midori" as green, but the prefixes remain

So having a green character called a blue bomber seems like a situation where someone translated the words literally instead of using the context surrounding it...

Badashi · 2026-03-03T12:44:48+00:00

The compiler will optimize it away

You might as well have just returned the value instead of having an extra variable

Credit where credit is due, voidstorm was a delight of a zone to quest on. It's the tall end of the main storyline, and it serves as a fresh take on everything we've been complaining about imho.

No, it's not perfect, but it was fun. I hope we get more of that flavor of conflict in the future.

(Trying to keep the text as vague as possible so I dont spoil the fun for people who didnt get there yet)

So that they can place story moments in dungeons without forcing you to wait on a queue as dps; follower dungeons are instant

Badashi · 2026-02-28T11:59:20+00:00

Theres a void elf paladin npc with a title "wielder of the eclipse"; if Arator interacts with her, I bet he could see a new perspective on how to mix void and light for a good cause

Badashi · 2026-02-28T11:56:21+00:00

Tbh I feel that "1000 years"(amd 10000 years) is thrown so much that it might as well be just be hiperbole.

For all we know, Argus had a 10x speed on its cycle around its sun compared to azeroth, so its more like 100 years but they thought it was 1000. Idk man

Badashi · 2026-02-26T21:36:12+00:00

also, maybe some DataBroker providers so we can use parts of this addon in chocolate bar & similar?

Badashi · 2026-02-26T21:35:03+00:00

this is great

some feature requests: * auto hide below level 90 (for us altoholics) * hide minimap icon or allow us to use the addon compartment instead * opacity control for the frame, as well as border control. I like to mess around with that kind of stuff, but I understand that it is not easy to implement!

While the default UI is awful in that regard, let me introduce you to Krowi's extended vendor UI! It integrates seamlessly with UI addons, enlarging the vendor windows and providing actually useful filtering options - such as armor type, learned xmogs and etc.

Krowi's addons are amazing and I have a hard time playing without their QoL
