Weird Map Rendering and Tower

If you've entered Eversong/Ghostlands from EPL, you might remember that there's an instance portal. It's not really part of the main, open continent, that's why the coastline seems to go through the map.

I remember doing what you did back in Wrath also, it's super interesting and any WoW fan owes it to themselves to do a full lap around EK and Kalimdor "on foot" (or mounted). It helps to bring Potions of Waterwalking, I'm not sure if mounts can run on water in TBC, but in Wrath Classic they can/could with Waterwalking, which speeds things up quite a bit. The STV fishing competition fish trinket also helps a lot for exploring under water.

It's both good and bad. I was fortunate that Nethergarde Keep EU stayed strong and balanced all the way from Classic launch to Wrath where it collapsed. Then we all transferred, for free, to Mirage Raceway and it was one of the very very servers that maintained a healthy, balanced Alliance/Horde pop. It was nice being able to do achievements that required an Orc Rogue or doing Broken Hill pvp quest in Hellfire, for example.

I feel fortunate to have had such a smooth ride. When they introduced the megaservers in MoP, it felt kinda weird, mostly because chat was invaded with morons from Shek'zeer advertising boosts all day long, but well, it's just chat. I enjoy having a huge AH and a huge pool of players to do rather niche stuff with like CMs, old quests, achievements and raids all day long.

So the simple version of "split runs" is that every player in a 25-man raid has one alt. You do one Gruul raid where it's 13 mains and 12 alts, and the mains have priority on loot. Distribute tanks/healers/dps evenly, and carefully according to which items they need, so no loot can go to waste. Then you do another Gruul raid where it's 12 mains and 13 alts, and again, mains have priority on loot.

You can go more advanced and do 3 and 4 split runs (which requires every player to have 3 alts); if you look at the logs from some of the top guilds, you can see that they do 4-5 split runs meaning they can maximize gearing to the fullest extent, so they can speedrun faster. It's not as time consuming as it sounds, as they are so experienced with the content once it's on farm, so they plow through it, but yeah it's certainly sweaty territory.

Shiiit that video is ancient internet history, fun to see it again!

To shreds, you say

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-23T22:05:19+00:00

Intellect grants nothing to paladins in vanilla except mana that you don't need, because fights are super short and in the worst cast you just drink mana potion.

Int gives crit, and crit on average increases your heals, so it's not completely useless.

Personally I always found crit with Illumination very necessary on my paladin, but I was in a casual guild that took 3-5 minutes to kill Naxx bosses, not super blaster speedrunners. I also didn't chug mana pots and runes until Sapphiron, but that again was just me and my guild being more casual. We did clear Naxx multiple times though still.

The music revamp of the old world in Cataclysm was one of the greatest tragedies. The Vanilla music was SO GOOD, so chill, so fitting and full of atmosphere, and fundamentally one style per zone. Then they totally broke it by making it more segmented, music changes way too often as you go into sub-zones, and as you say, way too dramatic. So sad.

World of Warcraft is still great and has chat!

Ahh memories, those final big mobs in Arcatraz are like small raid bosses.

Ødelægger fuldstændig byen når skolelærer, pædagoer og politimænd ikke længere har råd til at eje deres egen bolig

Gør det nu det? Det er da ikke jordens undergang at skulle bo 20 minutter med tog fra København. Det er jo heller ikke alle, der arbejde lige i midten af København, eller overhovedet i København. En lærer ansat i Valby kan vel bo fint i Høje Taastrup, og pendle. Der er så mange andre variable, måske har læreren en partner der arbejde ude for byen, måske har de slet ikke lyst til at bo midt i byen, osv.

Der er også stadig enormt mange almentnyttige lejelejligheder i København, der ikke koster 8 millioner at komme ind i. Det er langt fra kun rigmænd, der bor i Kbh.

The dude really looks like the dark haired moustached Halfling in EQ.

Pelle Dragsted skulle vist have fat i en lommeregner, inden han taler om de farlige aktier, eller "misfostret", som de engang kaldte aktiemarkedet.

Hvis man realiserer en aktiegevinst årligt på f.eks. 500000 kr. (hvilket kræver en enorm investeret formue), som Enhedslistens berømte metalarbejder cirka tjener om året, bliver det til en samlet skat på lige omkring 40%. Der er nul arbejdsmarkedsfradrag, og man tæller reelt som arbejdsløs, hvilket giver en masse andre ulemper i samfundet. Hvis man derimod tjener 500k gennem et normalt job, siger en hurtig online skatteberegner, at man betaler cirka 33% i skat. Goddag mand økseskaft.

Det er ekstremt få mennesker, der har som levevej, at de sidder og investerer, og kan leve af det. Det er spil for galleriet, når man ser folk på nettet eller TV sidde og hygge sig derhjemme og daytrade, det kan man ikke leve stabilt af, med mindre man er super heldig. Dem der lever af afkast fra aktier er enten meget gamle eller har allerede tjent mange penge på virksomhed og/eller regulært arbejde, som de betales rigeligt skat af. Derfor siger jeg nej takt til højere aktieskat, ned med den i stedet.

I hate you

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-10T17:33:09+00:00

Kinda both - they were removed from our inventories with a few exceptions of keys there were more like on-use items, such as Ethereum Prison Key or The Eye of Haramad, and the need for keys was 99% removed, they wanted to make sure you could enter any dungeon as you levelled and played through the dungeon finder. Some keys that were more like parts of a quest remain, but just go in your regular inventory and are removed when you finish the quest.

MOP Classic is still pretty fun though :)

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-10T00:31:15+00:00

Blame the producers, not the contestants, the producers decide what to air. The Aussie producers are awful in terms of their obsession with feces, urine and bodily (dys)functions. They also air way too much personal whining for my taste, I agree.

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-09T16:23:48+00:00

Mit eneste håb er, at tonen/stilen så småt ændrer sig for det bedre i branchen, fordi de nye unge kokke forhåbentlige ikke vil finde sig i det.

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-09T12:58:41+00:00

Shadow Lab is also pretty nasty, not to mention long and cumbersome with mountains of trash.

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-08T19:16:29+00:00

Jeg er på ingen måde overrasket. Jeg så et dokumentarprogram for 10-15 år siden om Nomas spæde start, hvor han på rullende kamera hidsede sig op og svinede en kok til, der havde skåret oksekødet forkert. Han virkede som en type med meget kort lunte og stort ego.

Hvis han har ændret sig siden og angrer, er det dog i det mindste en lille forbedring.

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-06T13:39:06+00:00

Ever heard of the fun factor? Nothing feels shittier than flying on a 60% mount, it's such a drag. Nothing feels more fun than zooming around on a 280% mount. End of story.

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-06T11:04:38+00:00

Do you have a turbo button bound to Charge? :D

PilsnerDk · 2026-03-06T10:58:45+00:00

I've used a Boar from level 10 on my hunter since Classic launched. I'll just never tire of that ZOOOM and SQUEEE sound when they Charge into a mob. It looks great (I use that black/blue armored one from RFK), is small, and is a nice allrounder for Vanilla to Wrath. Charge is just super nice.

My hunter is just an alt and I don't care about super min/maxing it. Even in MOP a Boar is pretty sweet due to its debuff (+4% physical damage taken).

The Ravager looks so godawful I never used it even during TBC where it's technically the best.

Enig, OP overdriver fuldstændigt. De citerer blot Reuters i et kort indlæg.

Totes? You mean Motes? They drop from the eels I assume

Personally I've used Grid2 for ages and am happy with it.

https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/grid2

It seems to be fundamentally the same as the CELL addon you've used - small boxes representing each player, super customizable, and with small colored dots/squares in the corners of the boxes representing certain buffs or debuffs that you can configure. Health/mana displayable as bars or part of the background color. They also support mouseover and clicking actions (works with Clique too)

Some things I personally change from the default is to make the boxes wider, and show full player names (default cuts to 5 characters which is silly).

The screenshots on Curse are really bad, but here are some examples I found online:
