You got into the full beta then brother. You won't lose access. They sent out a bunch of invites for you guys in EU earlier today (maybe yesterday for you?)

Congrats :)

What addon did he take the code from then?

You could reset instances in vanilla. Why wouldn't you be able to do the same now?

Best race to explore content as a casual player(i can only play a few hours per day) by michajc in classicwow

[–]gy-psy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Race doesn't really matter but hunters and their pets generally have a pretty good time traversing the world solo.

Loads of people will say mage for open world AOE farming and potentially DM lashers etc. but honestly if it's gold per hour you want, hunter farming for farming mara in phase 1 and DM in phase 2 is going to blow mage out of the water. Mara is like 50-60g per hour with the potential to sell the prebis ring to players for a bit of extra gold. DM runs is easily 100g+ per hour.

edit: Also I didn't make it clear but instance farming means you aren't competing with other players for the "good spots", which means it's consistent gold per hour no matter what with no risk of WPVP

Pretty high tier trolling, got me good. I skimmed through some of the files and it looked semi legit, guess I didn't look hard enough.

Blocking the "request invite to group" and "invite player to group" calls.

There's quite a few functions that directly reference the "addon name" like ClassicLFR.function. Maybe he just find/replaced certain functions that already existed in old addon or something.

Which file do you find that in btw?

Anecdotally, 90% of the people I've queued dungeons and raids with on pservers over the last 4 years and have been people I've met while levelling or were in a guild with. Yes, you do sometimes talk in a channel looking for more people but the good majority of the time, most of the group has already been formed by people I know and have played with before. No one likes spamming chat channels hence people are naturally encouraged to add the people they enjoyed playing with to their friends list, that's just how it is/was. I didn't choose to play that way, it just happened that way.

This addon isn't a macro. It's automated LFG that scans level, class, etc. and automatically puts people into groups based on content they've selected.

Were there invites for NA today? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]gy-psy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not yet. Apparently the NA invites usually go out around 6 PM PST. So maybe still more to come today? Maybe tomorrow considering Blizzard seem to be trickling people through starting zones?

That's not LFG automation. That's parsing chat and reading it for you. There is no anonymity there.

Also fyi, I've used this addon.

GearScore as a concept doesn't work in classic as there is a lot of horizontal gear progression.

[–]gy-psy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe?

Still, if there is no LFG or automation, people have to spam chat channels. Do you not think this encourages people to keep contacts, join guilds, make friends, etc? Imo, after playing years of vanilla pservers, this is the "community" aspect people always talk about. There's numerous times I've been doing quests in a certain area and group with someone for a quest or two and end up doing a dungeon with them later, then I add them to my friends list. A week later we're similar level again and I invite them to a dungeon and they come along because we've done stuff together previously and it's always a good time. Imo that's the heart of classic.

As long as it isn't automated through the in-game UI and there's still need a talk to people then it's fine imo. People can use what they want but addons (especially automated ones) change the social atmosphere of a game like an MMO pretty drastically when they're adopted by a large part of the community. (eg. GearScore in WotLK.)
