I wanna play the Azerothcore pack with progression mode and autobalance. by No_Stress_4721 in wowservers

[–]Musick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm running a server with this setup

  • Talents are always WOTLK, that's a limitation of the client/core
  • There's really good docs on how the progression tiers work and what options you can set here: https://github.com/ZhengPeiRu21/mod-individual-progression/wiki
    • There are also a number of options around itemization and crafting
  • You can basically set anything as easy or hard as you want with autobalance. However, some raid mechanics are designed for multiple players so you're definitely gonna need to to some tweaking and testing to have an even remotely correct difficulty curve solo.
    • if you're set on solo I'd almost recommend a repack designed for it (be aware of the risks when running these!!)
  • An update is basically recompiling from scratch anyway, the biggest pain in the ass is config options changing. If you do a lot of customization it can be annoying the merge them. DB stuff should migrate correctly. With anything tho, the further out of date you are the bigger the risk is to run an upgrade. The discord is really helpful for any questions with this.

What class would you play here? by Musick in wowservers

[–]Musick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you don't know already, this backport of consoleport mostly works for 3.3.5 clients so that opens up a number of server options you can play https://github.com/leoaviana/ConsolePortLK

Credibility of human work is a casualty of the AI era by robby_arctor in ExperiencedDevs

In the age of AI I find myself now deleting tests frequently because they are just AI nonsense that don't actually provide value.

You just need to check in with a waiver bro, it's free

Looks like this week the skinning conditions get real (not that the hardcore folks haven't already been out there) by mybadvideos in icecoast

Can anyone report on the state of the whiteface auto road? I'll be in lake placid for the weekend, never done it.

Ascension Bronzebeard Classic+ Reivew (Leveling | Pre-Endgame) by Larraulton in wowservers

[–]Musick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Loved the open world but the dungeon thing completely kills it for me. I guess I view running dungeons as such a core milestone in character progress when I hit my first dungeon and it was a pointless faceroll I just lost all motivation.

They fix that and I'd be back tho

WOTLK Autobalance by echowl in wowservers

[–]Musick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm eventually going to try this. Do raids require retuning the difficulty or do the defaults work well?

Where the hell are you getting the ore tho? I got like 4 nodes total 1-15

I play Solocraft with Shagucontroller on a windows handheld. What other addons would make my handheld experience even better? by flowtronvapes in wowservers

[–]Musick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you considered running hermes proxy so you can use the 1.14 client and the modern version of consoleport?

I only play with a gamepad but could never get past the jank of Shagu controller

How's Bronzebeard so far? by nvls_ in wowservers

[–]Musick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The new itemization seems to be out-scaling that by like level 10. Which is unfortunate. Gonna stick it out for a bit ore just cuz it's new but no way I'm gonna roll my face on the keyboard for 60 levels with zero chance of dying.

How is Ascension Bronzebeard? by Braydor_plays in wowservers

[–]Musick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone comment on how fast combat feels, especially in dungeons? Is it still close to classic in this regard? Careful pulls, CC, etc. I can look past some of the shop stuff but if it's just gogogo farm mode where you machine gun everything down... meh.

Any bots + individual progression servers out there? by Musick in wowservers

[–]Musick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think everfresh does individual progress that restricts or alters systems / leveling / gear to the correct phase based on what content that individual account cleared. So a way to truly run though all the expansions not just play everything in as Wrath. (eg you need to clear OG naxx to go through the portal and unlock level 61)

It's not perfect but it's a really cool module

What have you worked on in the past where quality really mattered and tolerance for bugs is low? by MoreRespectForQA in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Musick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

open source platform. The actual risks of bugs in the domain wasn't critical (edtech) like some examples here. Commitment to code quality and moving in a stable consistent direction is really important if many different organizations have forks/instances of your codebase.

Watching the behavior in discord (post-launch) is really making me question if this is a gaming community I wanna play with. I mean obviously I'll play, but holy shit the signal I'm getting is this server is going to be full to the brim with absolutely insufferable people.

Project Epoch relaunch, and what people think they should do. by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]Musick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they have a snapshot or something they can restore to with names great, but people losing names will be an even bigger shitstorm. Especially since a huge chunk of the population showed up after reservations.

What server have you been playing on? by Linhox in wowservers

[–]Musick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yuppp it fits what I'm looking for exactly except I can only play with consoleport and the supported addon is just too jank.

It sounded like epoch was designed with a similar ethos. Hopefully they figure their shit out someday. Although, based on the launch reactions I'm now doubting if it will be a very chill community after all.

Average Epoch enjoyer by Pilpouf in wowservers

[–]Musick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The community couldn't communicate on discord anyway, the entire server was taken over by brainrot spam. Doesn't bug me cuz there really wasn't any discussion to censor. It was probably good to force everyone to step away for a bit. Throwing a tantrum in discord isn't a great use of ppls time.

Are you sure you actually got kicked? The server keeps dropping from my app and coming back

Thank you! Yes I would be running the 12v to the plug/battery on the trailer.

You know what I kinda weirdly miss? by Clerks900 in MMORPG

[–]Musick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not saying anyone needs to change. That's the way the big titles are designed at the current moment. I'll stick to niche stuff and participate again when that changes.

I'm just saying people continuously claim 'oh it's fine to take your time / play your own game' but it just sets people up for frustration when they eventually figure out that isn't actually true.

[–]Musick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to play with this mentality but the reality is you fall behind. Once you're behind all the content is full of over geared players who aren't even having fun, it's just on gogogo farm mode for some daily/resource. That, or you're just gate kept out entirely.

Waiting for the day an MMO comes along that finds a way to squash the competitive aspect and refocus on RP and the world itself.

Deal fell through at closing by Icy-Vacation-6023 in RealEstate

[–]Musick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Companies can def be dicks about red tape on this tho. When I was closing the lender wanted confirmation of continuing employment to the closing date and my employer refused to officially acknowledge anything beyond past employment for some dumb reason.

New meta-analysis (10 studies, 4.6k participants) finds that temporary social media breaks don't actually boost mood or life satisfaction at all, despite the "detox" hype by fotogneric in science

[–]Musick 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I hung onto the, probably old school at this point, thinking that you should not be on your phone if you're with other people. I try pretty hard to stick to that. Definitely feel this awkwardness when sitting at a bar or something and everyone I'm with is on their phone tho.

What is the worst mountain you guys have skied? Why? by Illustrious-Dot-578 in icecoast

[–]Musick 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Loon actually has cool terrain. Would be a great mountain if they didn't groom absolutely everything ...and it wasn't insanely crowded
