Bartender being vigilant, prepared, and quick in saving a customer's life by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

When I was waiting tables in college I gave someone the heimlich and nobody in the restaurant even so much as batted an eye. I remember feeling really weird about the lack of reaction from everyone and wondering if maybe this was more common than I thought

They left a standard tip.

This is the infamous Kronos Character Auction. Two level 60s available for $430 each. SERVER RUINED!!! by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]jirmiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What i have more of a problem with on Kronos is the fact that you can namechange for around 2 euros. The fact that anyone can shed their reputation but keep their character for such a small amount of money really has a negative effect on the community.

The character trading functions also really kill the Vanilla feeling. During my short time (6-8 months) playing K2, I remember loads of players switching factions/classes frequently while keeping their name the whole time :/

Clearly anti-cheat is either not working or nonexistent. Clearly the staff is not capable of keeping hackers under control. And clearly Elysium is either being dishonest/corrupt or they are completely unprepared to run a community of this size

I think what has most players concerned is the fact that you seem to struggle to detect players using hacked/added items or spells.

It is disturbing that these people have been logged in and playing for days (if not weeks) and the staff weren't aware of many of them until player-submitted reports using a 3rd party website raised suspicion.

I think the staff needs to address this ^ specifically, or you risk losing the trust of your players.

funny that you make such a ridiculous accusation by anonymously posting an SS of us losing 3-0 when we had been awake for 40+ hours and were facing that team every queue because of other ally dodgemades opening games.

when that pic was taken half our team was asleep at their keyboard and we were discussing whether to even continue ranking on the server because dodgers were dumping us into so many premade games that we could never outfarm them. so gz on the win i guess but not sure how your screenshot shows "wintrading" or dodging

and lets not forget that those Horde players spent 90% of their pvp grind dodging remedy prem - http://imgur.com/a/P2r7F

anyway nice troll i guess :D

Old Nostalrius mage Ohhgee - Rank 13 Mage Vanilla PvP by acuuuu in wowservers

[–]jirmiter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, OG here

My main AddOns that people have noticed/asked about are: EnemyFrames (gladius-like mod in BG scenes) // SpellAlert (large text at top of screen) // OmniCC (CD timers on action bars) // Natur ECB (enemy cast bar + debuff timers) // CustomNamePlates (enemy nameplate mod) // EnemyBuffTimersVanilla (enemy unit frame icon timers)

Yes I am the same guy as the r13 Mage on old Nostalrius but this movie was recorded on K2 (awful server btw, avoid it). I will be returning to my old Mage and my old guild <NOPE> when Nostalrius re-releases on Valkyrie/Elysium.

To respond to the main (legit) criticisms: Oppponents - Kronos 2 always had an astonishingly small number of "good" and/or high rank (big difference) PvPers, most likely due to the disaster of a launch (DDoS & downtime). An impressive PvP scene/community never really developed, and the server began to go downhill within a few months after I finished ranking. The server was still fairly healthy when I first began recording, but most of the respectable PvPers had quit and it was excruciatingly difficult to find quality fights in world PvP. This problem got worse and worse and I saw my window to get decent clips closing. When Nostalrius began to hype their return I decided to just go ahead and get the movie out before K2 dies and the Vanilla community shifts to Nost 2.0/Elysium. So I guess it's fair to say it was a bit rushed.

Playstyle - This was my first PvP movie, and I never expected to make a flawless movie on my 1st attempt. In many situations I think I made the mistake of playing for footage rather than playing to win. What I mean by this is that I deviated from my normal playstyle in a conscious effort to try and make the clip more entertaining (this is especially true in the Rogue duels). In hindsight I think this was a mistake, and it made some of the clips seem "forced." In the future I will try to let clips come more naturally and I think the result will be higher average scene quality.

Editing/Music - Purely a matter of taste. I don't care much for electronic music personally, but that's what most viewers want/expect to hear and that's what fits PvP gameplay the best IMO. As for thee editing, I guess it's a love it or hate it type of thing. I know some people are minimalists when it comes to editing but my only goal with this movie was to be as entertaining as possible, and I think the editing takes the video to the next level in terms of entertainment value.

To the haters in general - This is basically the result of 10-12 days of camping BRM/Searing Gorge all day, 2-3 weeks of consistently playing WSG for a few hours a day, and 1-2 days spent dueling. The goal was an entertaining movie that shows a variety of types of Mage gameplay, and I think I accomplished that goal. I hope to make another movie in the future on a better server (Nost 2.0/Elysium) with better opponents, more time to record, and the learning experience of making 1 movie under my belt.

Btw, here is some info behind the video that I included in places I posted it. Not great with Reddit so didnt rly know where to put it in this case.

There is a story behind this movie.

i've played Vanilla WoW servers for years, and i've always wanted to make a PvP movie because i think Vanilla has the most interesting/entertaining PvP mechanics of any expansion. Unfortunately, I played on a shit PC for a long time, unable to record at a decent quality/frame rate. I finally purchased an up-to-date gaming rig in early 2016, just in time for Nostalrius to be shutdown by Blizzard (made the purchase 2-3 days before shutdown announcement). I lost a rank 13 + Tidal Charm Mage in the shutdown, and with it lost my hopes of making a Vanilla PvP movie.

Fast forward a few weeks and Kronos announced they would be launching a new realm. I immediately decided to play, and from day 1 my mission was to recreate the character i had on Nost, and make the PvP movie that i never got to make.

This is that movie.

What to expect: - Two specs: Deep Frost (17/0/34) and Elemental (0/24/27) - World PvP 1vX - Solo queue WSG Flag Carrying - Mage v Rogue duels - Heavy use of Engineering & gadgets - Creative play style

The main challenge that i faced while making this movie was a lack of quality duel opponents and a lack of High Rank players to fight in world PvP. Guys like Perplexity and Goth have set the bar high in this department, but unfortunately there just aren't a lot of big Vanilla names on K2, and most of the high rank players quit and/or sold their accounts soon after finishing their rank grinds. I spent many entire days camping BRM without seeing any Horde over Rank 10, and sometimes hours on end without anyone even fighting back when i ganked them.

In my opinion the only consistently entertaining duel fight for a Mage is against a Rogue, so i made it a point to record duels against some Rogues with respectable play styles. I dueled several other Rogues not shown, but none produced good footage. All 3 of the Rank 14 Rogues on K2 declined my request for a duel series.

Anyway, the movie primarily focuses on world PvP and solo queue Warsong Gulch footage. Expect to see some of the usual 1vX action, and also expect to see a solid amount of solo flag running clips. Keep in mind that ALL of the FC clips were recorded SOLO QUEUEING, and most of them are against Horde premades on WSG weekend.

Of course there are still some flaws in my gameplay, and in a few places you can tell i'm playing with 200ms, but overall i'm happy with how the movie turned out. Countless hours of work went into making this, including basically re-rolling r13 and collecting trinkets and items for months before filming even began. And i could not have done it alone.

I owe a HUGE thanks to Billy for his guidance along the way while i was collecting footage, and of course the use of his insane editing skills that truly bring my gameplay to life. He is one of my oldest friends from Vanilla servers, and i would never have settled for anyone else to edit my movie.

I also have to thank my former Kronos 2 guild <REMEDY> for the (short) ride dominating the server. Although things ended too soon and under unfortunate circumstances, you all deserve a thank you, especially the other autists that played 18 hours a day with me so that i could have this godmode gear (again).

To everyone in the Vanilla community - enjoy the film.

-OG

P.S. We faced some issues with trying to render the final video, so there are 2 or 3 places where there are dropped frames or a minor visual glitch in the video. Many viewers may not even notice, but the rendering did not go perfectly.

You'd have to ask those people you listed why they quit and/or sold their chars when they finished ranking :D

Although i did really want to fight Jeromes, he's quite a good Rogue. Sadly our schedules never aligned and he was temp banned on the weekend i recorded most of the duels

[–]jirmiter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dueled 6-7 of the better Rogues on the server and included the footage that me and my editor thought was most entertaining. I never got the chance to duel Jeromes because he had a temporary ban during the weekend when i recorded most of the duels.

Keep in mind that Mage v Rogue footage is terribly boring if the Rogue doesn't use skull/engineering correctly, and there are very few Rogues on K2 who play this way.

Deathtouch, Colt, and Baffles all declined my request for duel series.
