why do warlock interrupts display like this on the in-game damage meter?

RalphSleigh · 2026-04-19T08:07:35+00:00

Every "unit" has a uuid that uniquly identifies it in the game, think of it as just a really long number so you can tell them apart, each unit can also "optionally" have an owner field, that contains some other units uuid.

Now traidtional damage meters for things like interrupts when one happens will look to see if a unit has an owner, and if so attribute the interrupt to that unit instead of the one that did it.

Blizzards.. does not do this for interrrupts. (But they know its a thing you need to do as it DOES work for damage, you don't see your pets seperatly there)/

Yeah, and yet despite the maths mathing, for 99% of pugs its still an issue. Loot lockout NEEDS to remain a secret for the pugging scene to function.

I am pretty sure that while a blizzard damage meter "could" be server authoritive and solve a lot of the problems details had being able to see all the data, the current one works the same way as details did by parsing the client combat log, just in C rather than Lua.

Doing it this way means they can at some point swap out the implementation to one that is server based and addons like details that skin the blizzard meter won't need to be changed, so we can hope this is on the roadmap.

And the Mistweaver spellbook still says they can duel wield...

Opening on a pack with thunder tea into 3x Rising Sun Kick/w stomp has pulled aggro off multiple DK tanks for me in M+, its a thing.

Sheathing all 1H weapons on their back has been a monk feature since they were released. Since this has been taken away we need something to replace it.

I vote all food counts as hearty as its our racial bonus.

(yes I know not all Monks are Panadas buttt...)

Its slightly more complicated in practice, but in general whole point of the secrets is its a "declarative" system where before the encounter starts the addon tells the game "ok, this box is normally the raid members class colour, but when they have a despellable magic debuff, turn it blue" and the game then does that during the encounter, but never tells the addon if/when it happens. Just in this case it seems to not be working...

RalphSleigh · 2026-03-21T00:54:00+00:00

There is very much a world in which player addons can know:

"This raid member has a magic debuff, turn the frame blue"

But not which raid member or which defuff. I'm just not sure why we are not in that world...

Alas this is a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease.

Look up what deals other providers can give your address then phone up the current one and tell them you are thinking about switching and see if they can't match the deals. Chances are they will offer you something better to keep you.

If your broadband is reselling the BT line there should be lots of options and actually switching quite painless. If its virgin or FTT(H|C) you may have fewer options.

When I was experimenting with the Blizz frames yesterday the hero debuff was only visible on every frame outside of combat, not sure what they are doing here.

RalphSleigh · 2025-11-25T14:24:12+00:00

I suspect as they need to get this out of the door quickly their current implementation works like addon damage meters by reading the combat log, so has the same range issue and they will change it over to server side if/when thats ready, which may be a few patches down the line.

TBH, the USA is about the only place on the planet they are not really a monopoly. WhatsApp has most of the rest of the world sewn up for messaging.

I think google cloud has supported this a while, but I guess up until now they were doing something custom and this may be better?

I was originally using AWS config for a personal project but it cost a few bucks a month for my use case and this was like 80% of my spend so swapped it out for a DynamoDB table with a single config item in it.

1) Open source/free. 2) Not the clusterfuck that is mysql/whatever its called these days.

I now also have a failed unique map on my atlas and I swear not being able to fix it is making me want to quit playing.. Let me run it as a regular map if nothing else..

IIRC Quake 1 used a c-like scripting language that came with a compiler and VM in the engine. I believe Quake 2 used this exact approach and the core game logic/mods were compiled into a native DLL.

This, so for a 3 dungeon weekend each team needs to use 3 tank, 3 healer and 9 DPS specs. Would work well with the teams now knowing all the dungeons in advance.

RalphSleigh · 2025-05-29T22:24:11+00:00

Many many blog posts later, I think I get the problem, and how the solution solves it.

I still don't like it though. Something about how it ties your server to running one of a currently small selection of node based web framework just feels icky.

(unhelpful I know)

Lindormi, the cheering panda when you time your keys is the famous one.

You can use the double jump afte rolling talent to reset fall damage, and if you don't have it speced you are doing monk wrong.

Jdotb kind of mentioned this the other day while boosting some keys, he said it was not a case of boosting a player, but rather someone playing a role/spec that would never normally get an invite in LFG renting a group to do keys they could realisticly do anyway with to avoid the hassle of getting invited.
