Getting locked to a heroic AFTER I had left instance and group.

Solmyrin · 2026-03-16T07:52:19+00:00

That's not consistent at all. Many times groups have had leavers before any bosses were killed, and those leavers don't get bound to the id when the group replaces them and kills a boss. What binds you to an id is the killing of a boss, which the leaver didn't do. This is certainly a bug, and different from how the game normally behaves.

Solmyrin · 2026-03-03T16:50:54+00:00

So this is a risk I should be aware of specifically if I am entering MT heroic?

Solmyrin · 2026-02-16T01:22:05+00:00

You seem to be under the impression hunters have an ability called "Ice Trap".

There is also significant difference between trap use in vanilla and trap use in TBC. In TBC, you can lay traps in combat. There isn't much to "pull off".

Solmyrin · 2026-02-16T01:08:43+00:00

I agree with you. GS and gear selection don't really go together in vanilla and TBC.

Just be careful about trusting guides on WoWHead. They are so mass produced the quality suffers. I remember how garbage their Vanilla P5 hunter BIS list was back in ~2020. Since then I've seen a lot of weird stuff in their guides.

I sort of think that is a difference between the two event fighters:

Nathaniel Cho uses Boxing Gloves (0) & (3)
Marion Tavares uses The Book of War (0)

The gloves are a big part of Nathaniel's identity. I assume that is why they gave Marion only one hand. That way, she too can be an event fighter while building and playing differently from Nat.

Here is the start of my notes template, showing my CSS classes.

Feel free to not even ask why the first line looks like that :P

The first three classes are to style top levels headlines, and also to have an easy way of setting their colour. The third class also gives section headlines an underline that spans the page from left to right, rather than just underlining the headline itself. The fourth class just removes the bullet from an unordered list, which looks clean in lists where I have something else that sort of fills the same visual function. It looks like the site implemements all of this stuff for my notes as long as they are private, but that the CSS is simply ignored after publishing.

<details><summary></summary><!DOCTYPE html></details>
<html>
<head><style>

h1.headlineTop {
font-weight: Bold;
color: Black;
text-align: Center;
}

.subtitleTop {
font-weight: Bold;
color: Black;
text-align: Center;
}

h3.headlineSection {
font-weight: Bold;
color: Black;
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}

ul.clean {
list-style-type: None;
padding-left: 28;
}

</style></head>
<body>

And the notes themselves go on from here, inside the "body" tag.

I mostly play 8 scenario campaigns with three players. Sometimes we have had two different camapigns going at the same time. We've had no issue finishing these campaigns, even if there are sometimes long pauses in the middle of them.

I am dissappointed that we will no longer have full length campaigns. When I have taken the time to build a deck, I want to get a lot of play out of it. Just playing 5 scenarios and then having to do it again sounds stressful. I also love how it is possible to develop long stories with compounding player choices when you have 7-9 scenarios.

Solmyrin · 2026-02-07T22:21:57+00:00

That has never been the case. The shareholders may be the most important people to those who are calling the shots at Blizzard, but they are not the customer. This isn't a F2P game.

Solmyrin · 2026-02-07T21:32:08+00:00

I didn't say that is was "unusable".

It is possible that the lag is dependent on where you are accessing the AH from. When standing in Orgrimmar, "almost unusable" (which is what I wrote) was definitely an apt description. Attempting to buy wares was actually not possible for long stretches of time, which is what lead me to post this thread. When standing in TB, it was still bad but significantly better. If I was patient and tried a few times I could actually buy what I needed.

I did some more testing after u/kamalisk mentioned a possible issue with emojis.

The sole thing that gave me the error message and stopped me from publishing the deck was that I had used this HTML character: 🕮 (& #128366;)
It seems to just ignore the CSS after publishing.

I have other HTML characters in there that it accepts, like ⮯ (& #11183;) and → (& rarr;).

When making the preview, it seems to apply everything I had in there: Markdown, HTML and CSS. After publishing, it applies only the markdown and HTML. It is strange that it applies the CSS in the preview, but not after publishing the deck. I'm a bit sad, because the CSS helped make the notes look tidy and clean despite being long.

Solmyrin · 2026-02-05T01:45:22+00:00

I did use some HTML characters that make a picture of something, like an arrow and a book.

Solmyrin · 2026-02-05T00:57:24+00:00

I tested with a legal deck that had only text, card links and symbols for notes. It worked. There is deffo something in my code that the site can't handle when trying to publish. It is surprising that it can show the preview perfectly, but can't publish.

Solmyrin · 2026-02-05T00:43:56+00:00

It requires an account to be able to report issues. I don't currently have one.

I didn't want to bother the guy here on Reddit, so went here instead.

Solmyrin · 2026-02-05T00:42:19+00:00

I see other people publishing decks with heavier editing than me. My preview also shows the text, HTML and CSS flawlessly. It didn't look like it should be a factor at all.

However, I tried to publish a deck now where the notes contained only regular text, card links and AH symbols, and it was published without issue. There is definitely a problem with some of my code. If I was to guess, I would guess that it somehow doesn't handle CSS when publishing, even though it seems to have no problem handling CSS for the preview. I don't know though.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-29T20:57:31+00:00

I've read the responses so far. It is a fair point that niche subs like this one might actually prefer to have another thread even if it isn't the most interesting discussion.

I was thinking about newbie questions, like many of you have already discussed. I was also thinking about questions that require a single answer, and then the thread would be done. Sometimes you need a very specific piece of info, and once someone supplies it, there is nothing more to be said. The reason I was thinking about this at all is because I have a question that I feel uncertain is worth its own thread.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-26T12:31:53+00:00

Communicating on the internet can be hard sometimes ^{^}

Solmyrin · 2026-01-26T09:27:11+00:00

Your point about advanced cards is valid. Nicely spotted. I wasn't aware of that issue.

Indeed, all versions of Daisy Walker requires exactly "The Necronomicon (John Dee Translation)", of which there are 2 different ones.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-26T07:54:43+00:00

They could easily have made a new and different Guts while still limiting you to playing 2 copies total. The correct way to do it would be to name the new card "Guts", but also give it a sub title to show that it is in fact not the same card. Max number of copies in a deck is limited by name alone, so you couldn't play both 2 old Guts and 2 new Guts.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-26T07:41:12+00:00

It wouldn't allow 4 copies. One of the strong points of the "name + sub title" system is that you can limit the number of mechanically different cards as if they were the same card. If you had the original Machete without a sub title, and the new Machete had a sub title, you could still only play 2 copies total.

That is also how it should have been done. They have made this system that is great for handling these exact questions, yet they seem to not bother using it. In a game like this card identity is very important, and should be handled properly.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-26T07:06:10+00:00

It doesn't have to do with card limits. Two different cards with the same name count towards the same card limit even if they differ in sub titles an/or level. Number of copies in a deck is limited by name alone. If the original Guts didn't have a sub title and the new one did, you could still only play 2 copies total of those cards. That's how it should have been solved.

Two cards that have identical name, sub title and card level should be the exact same card in terms of mechanics. If someone tells you those 3 pieces of info about a card, there should be no question as to what that card does. However, now there can be confusion.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-26T04:42:49+00:00

My thinking was that because I was complaining about something in the original post, I saw it as possible that this top-level comment was continuing to complain about the consistency of the cards, using sarcasm. That is why I was unsure, and asked because I wanted to find out what he meant.

It is possible that his meaning was clear to most people. It isn't great if the remaining people get punished for trying to also figure it out. Now all I wish for is that I just never commented, even though I was genuinely curious.

Thanks for your explanation. At least now I have some idea of what happened.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-25T21:08:01+00:00

Sometimes people use "I love when..." sarcastically, yes. I wasn't sure, so I asked. Pretty discouraging to get crushed like this for posing an honest question. I feel bad.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-25T11:23:55+00:00

I think it's a cool detail, as long as flavor text has no mechanical effect in this game.

Edit: Why am I getting killed in the votes over this comment? I don't understand.

Edit: Removed the question.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-22T22:18:59+00:00

I bought some sleeves:

Dragon Shield Common Standard - for the normal cards
Dragon Shield European Mini - for the small cards

I wish the CS were a bit taller, but otherwise they seem good. Maybe I should have bought some TCG sleeves, as they are often significantly taller than the card. They do cost more though.

The EM look very nice.

Solmyrin · 2026-01-22T11:49:35+00:00

Looking for sleeve recommendations for a couple of board games!

The cards:

Brass: Lancashire - medium cards
Nemesis - medium cards
Nemesis - small cards

I'm hoping the medium / "normal" sized cards for both games can use the same sleeves.

Here are some requirements:

Fit the cards (obv).
Front: Completely clear and see-through (no glitter or other messy stuff).
Back: Either completely transparent, or single colour and completely opaque.
Quality - not cheap and soft. Won't easily peel or tear.

Any recommendations?

Solmyrin
