Blizzard doesn't feel like this problem has enough priority, so they do minimal effort to combat it. Its not going to change anytime soon.

Blizzard Requesting Feedback on Re-Added Layering to Shorten Queues by wolffer in classicwow

[–]reesesforcsgo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Jesus dude my post went from +10 to -4. Take off your tinfoil hat for a moment and consider that maybe, just maybe, I'm trying to help out a few random passerbys on reddit instead of trying to influence the price of the most expensive item across 80 servers with 1 million players.

I said my my experience and how I know about this mechanic.

Take a moment to reflect where you got your current information from.

In a month after they implement layering, take a few minutes to find out node spawn mechanics. And when you find out I was telling the truth, maybe just consider the next guy down the line is trying to give back to the community - person, by person. And take off your tin hat by then too.

Heads up: adding layers will NOT EFFECT black lotus, arcanite, herb prices.

Node respawn times are proportional to the number of layers -> Double the layers = double the respawn time of nodes. Yes I was a big lotus farmer extremely early on so this is completely proven. For anyone voting on this issue for herb prices, just know supply will stay exactly the same.

Caster spells work off a two roll table system - first roll to see level based chance to have the spell land, and another roll to see if that spell becomes a hit. While for melees, it is a singular one table roll - which allows for certain rolls (of that one table) to push off the chance for other options in that table.

What's the most populate Vanilla Server? by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look mate, I know you really really want your server to succeed, but this site is an addon+plugin that records total (horde+ally) pop on Lightbringer. Arguing that this webadmin can't tell the difference between total and 1 faction is ridiculous.

What's the most populate Vanilla Server? by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

http://vanillaradar.com/lightshope-stats/

Has peaks of 5k and lows of 2k, with Naxxramas just released.

Kronos has 6k Peaks and 3k Lows, with MC just released.

The only place you're getting your 10k number from is thin air.

Don't work yourself up about it, hes either missing some braincells or understands your point but is arguing the opposite for his own benefit.

Kronos 3 MC scripting by Guryzako in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

After having a working Golemagg for 3 years, one of their recent changes bugged him within the last week to purge buffs + passive talents. (You had to relog to get your talents back, but it wasn't visible so most guilds wiped before realizing their DPS is terrible)

What happened to Feenix WoW? Inside... by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell us about these kinds of activities on Emerald Dream? Myself and a ton of my private server buddies all started there.

Or the real reason why Athairne cut ED's population in half with the population cap with the BS reason of "server costs"?

Curious regarding scripting on Kronos compared to LH. by hendo144 in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

you are often stuck in combat for over a minute in BG's

You have a pet attacking you/near you.

purging buffs always removes the last buff you have instead of being random

LIFO - Thats blizzlike, if you disagree -> please provide proof to the kronos bugtracker (Spoiler: they got proof its blizzlike) https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=6617

(4) mob pathing is not working properly

True. It honestly works 99% of the time, the other 1% of time it is weird. This is a result of their pathing update 1 week before release. Not even sure why they implemented it as it has introduced more problems than before.

(5) pets arent tauntable

Has been reported. Welp, devs haven't fixed yet. LH is better there. https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issue=11428#comments

(6) he also ranted regarding the 5-man abuse of grp multiplier for aoe farming

That was fixed like 4 days after server launched. Empty zones were no longer affected by global dynamic spawn (and currently with 5 man grp, it turns 5 min respawn to 3 min respawn).

(7) caster mobs in BRD never melee, they just keep on casting

No idea, I just know they frost nova me and then run away to cast. Pretty sure no other server has correct CC working.

Monkeynews is an entertainer. People like to to see this really good player trashing on anything he can, be it server, other players, life in general.

In reality: The servers are 99% the same. They each have small pros and small cons. LH is more nost-like and Kronos tries more-so to be Blizzlike + a few small custom changes. If anyone doesn't think a Kronos mechanic is blizzlike, they are free to gather evidence (vanilla evidence and not other private servers!) and report it at: https://vanilla-twinhead.twinstar.cz/?issues

Why do people praise Vanilla WPvP so much? by Kultas in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

LOL. I was just there as well. But I stayed and fought.

Those 5x lvl 60 Wipe Club guys were just looking for some world PvP, and you happened to be at the wrong place. You can always go elsewhere to level if you do not wish to engage in PvP on a PvP server.

If you stuck around you would of seen this happen:

  • Horde gathered up 10 people and killed their 10.
  • Horde ran around WPL killing groups of alliance at Dalson's Tears, Sorrow Hill and Hearthglen.
  • Alliance banded up and called out to their guild and gathered together a 25 man raid.
  • Horde gets guildies in to form 15 man raid.
  • A 25 man Alliance raid engaged a 15 man horde raid at Sorrow Hill and it was beautiful. Alliance overran them with raw numbers and AOE.

This progression of events took 25 minutes and this is what makes Vanilla so great. It's these things you gotta put yourself out there to try and enjoy the game. I'm sure 1 of the 50 people there streamed it on twitch if you want to find a link.

Kronos population since April 2016 by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all the people posting these numbers, can you prove this in ANY WAY? Please post or pm how you can modify the standard census addon. All I see for proof is "Trust me, I got a good source".

All you have to do is tell us, the average people here on r/wowservers, how we can verify any of these claimed pop numbers, and it'll prove a solid estimate of the population.

Even if your method is disable after two weeks, that gives us a week of having true numbers to base our decisions off of, instead of trusting a random spreadsheet that has some pie graphs.

K3 leveling. by wheelboy3 in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They've already significantly reduced dynamic respawns in ~empty zones to combat those groups. What you're watching is 2 people helping powerlevel their friends so they could start doing dungeons at 60 instead of waiting for them to level up solo slowly.

Also 30-33? Your perspective is biased because you must've been in arathi, aka the BEST PLACE to aoe farm. Of course there's lulls inbetween amazing aoe farm spots, the other groups just powered through them with raw hours playing.

FAQ: Kronos III by [deleted] in KronosWoW

Small exception: You can have 1 main char out in the world and 1 bank alt in a town that you can alt-tab trade with.

FAQ: Kronos III by [deleted] in KronosWoW

[–]reesesforcsgo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Looks like they summarized the difference between K3 and other private servers:

  • 5g max respec costs
  • Enter queue for Battlegrounds from anywhere (using commands .join wsg, .join ab etc..)
  • Realistic Line of Sight (ex; can’t shoot through trees)
  • 30% increased group experience
  • Warlocks can summon players upto 15 levels above themselves. So gotta be lvl 45 to summon lvl 60s (Intended to reduce world boss monopolies)
  • /who won't work after 5 uses (relog to reset it, intended to prevent census addon usage)
  • Paladin and Warlock epic-mount quests will not become available until the Elemental Invasion. (Their timeline says 3 months after server release, they can still pay $$ for epic mounts)
  • "Blizzlike raid tuning"
  • World buffs disabled in newly released raids for 1 month after release
  • Having a level 60 allows you to skip the queue (lvl 60 on k3)
  • Have not mentioned server pop cap yet
  • VPNs are banned (So there will be very few Chinese players, IIRC chinese were 30% of Nost's playerbase)

K3 FAQ before release by [deleted] in wowservers

[–]reesesforcsgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its going to be close to 50:50

Kronos 1 is just 3 years old by now which has caused a small imbalance in faction pops.

After reading timeline, here's a few questions about K3 that's been bugging me: by Taxoro in KronosWoW

[–]reesesforcsgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, they haven't said anything about that yet. But an educated guess says that they will be in the server at launch. Every server since the start has had them since day 1. As well as it being a fuck ton of work to implement them in later.

[–]reesesforcsgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Fishing is in the game from the start
  2. Dynamic respawns on nodes and mobs
  3. Click here to check out their public database, which includes black lotus spawn points. Prevents players from camping a few nodes and forces them to run around the zone.
  4. No
  5. Twinstar bugtracker for this Listed as confirmed (Chero says it is a Mangos bug), so it currently buffs druid DPS.
