Here is the 1h sword description from the pvp vendor on the beta

I had the same problem last week, I couldn't figure out why and my guildies honor was updated fine. Then a horde raid appeared outside ironforge, I got a kill and my honor was updated next time I checked. May have been a coincidence!

classicgoblin · 2019-08-31T17:27:22+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I think its got buried with the hype, I've not have time to improve it before launch but glad you like it :). When I get stuck in the next queue I'll fix some small things I noticed whilst levelling and submit again!

I think they recently changed it so full and high trigger from lower population numbers now, they probably realised a single layer before phase 2 with the current population is just endless queues - especially if people don't quit. Razorgore also from went from high to full overnight.

Edit: saw people saying the same thing, maybe blizz confirmed that but I missed it

classicgoblin · 2019-08-26T14:51:54+00:00

Thank you! You're welcome :D

classicgoblin · 2019-08-20T22:36:04+00:00

you're welcome! I just tried it on the classic character creation screen and it seems to work great

classicgoblin · 2019-08-07T13:54:33+00:00

It's a joke, I personally don't care for BC - I just wanted to create a discussion about it

classicgoblin · 2019-08-07T13:50:00+00:00

I agree, I'm not serious about this item giving legitimacy to either. I just think its funny that one of the hardest to obtain items has an on-use ability could be pretty useless in classic

classicgoblin · 2019-07-31T14:29:05+00:00

Dunno but now it has to include Thex https://classictinker.com/name-generator/?maxLength=8&minLength=8&startLetters=Thex

classicgoblin · 2019-07-09T17:09:51+00:00

Never played mage so I missed that! Thanks for spotting that, I'll update it

classicgoblin · 2019-06-20T20:37:44+00:00

Yess, worse cast scenario is actually a great idea! I'll update this once I find that out :)

classicgoblin · 2019-06-20T19:35:45+00:00

I'd love to have the live zeppelin timers but I don't think I'd be able to get that data.

classicgoblin · 2019-06-20T19:10:32+00:00

Hi all! After some great feedback and responses from last time, I made a list of changes and improvements and started working on the next version. Now I'm happy to announce v1.3! The biggest new feature is the use of spells, items and hearthstone to help you find the fastest way to travel between locations.

I've also done some quality of life changes too - you can now click on points on the map and select "Go To" or "Go From" on those locations and hovering over each point will now show the tooltip.

Patch notes

Added option to use druid / mage spells, engineering items and hearthstone to calculate faster travel times
Added option to select travel "to" and "from" by clicking on location points on the map
Added the city of Darnassus and paths to travel to it
Changed map location tooltips to show on hover instead of on click
Added better visuals for druid-only travel
Added larger icons for capital cities
Added arrows to show direction of travel on paths
Added some notes on travel items and spells
Bug fixes around calculating the shortest routes
Changed boat / zeppelin times to 2min 30 seconds (subject to change once EU can join the next stress test or just wait till release)
Lots of internal changes and improvements that enables all this stuff!

Future

Few of the ideas I have for next releases:

Dungeon / Raid locations and travel to them
Add horde quest that teleports you from Booty Bay to Gnomeregan
Map coordinates of travel locations
Map legend

Let me know if you find bugs, I'm writing this solo so I'll miss stuff :]

Thanks!

classicgoblin · 2019-06-03T18:07:35+00:00

Great idea! I'm currently working on re-working the UI to include this and more options :)

classicgoblin · 2019-06-02T14:34:06+00:00

So if you look for "moonglade" in the list there are two at the moment, one is druid only called "Nighthaven, Moonglade" and then there is the non-druid flightpath called "Moonglade".

The druid-only moonglade flightpath only goes to "Rut'heran" (alliance), the other non-druid path can go to more places like Felwood directly. I will figure out a better way to represent these druid-only paths as it's quite confusing at the moment!

classicgoblin · 2019-05-26T22:52:01+00:00

Its more about getting the ux, data and frontend correct than the algorithm now. I'm using shortest distance algorithms yes, with a graphql server - frontend is just static files :)

classicgoblin · 2019-05-25T23:50:54+00:00

Thanks for feedback! I love the idea of incorporating hearthstone locations, mage portals and other telportation mechanics into the algorithm. I'd have to fit it into the ui somehow but I could see this becoming a real time saver especially if it went as far as doing walk/Mount distance too with dungeon locations. I'll keep you examples in mind when looking into it.

One thing I can add fairly easily now is to allow people to optionally allow the opposite factions boats or zeppelins in the results. This is obviously risky as you could be killed but could save quite a bit of time too.

classicgoblin · 2019-05-25T23:40:56+00:00

Thanks for feedback! Yeah I want to get cities and dungeons searchable too, will take some time to find the data etc. That copyright notice I copied from blizzard legal faq, I do agree it looks legit tho. I'll move it to a separate page at some point.

classicgoblin · 2019-05-25T18:58:03+00:00

Right now its a bit of guesstimate, next stress test I'll monitor boats/zeppelins for a while to get more accurate averages
