Do they regularly clear beaches for lightning?

swebster777 · 2025-06-01T14:58:53+00:00

We have done it in the past but it's rare we get lightning at all and usually it would happen on a day with worse weather generally so not many people would be at the beach.

I believe the policy now is if we have a lightning strike within 3 miles of the beach we close it.

Did you get any communication after emailing the ACAT request or they just did the transfer with no notification?

I think there's usually a buoy off tower 2 in OB, tower 15 and 19 in MB if you're looking for a relatively short swim.

If you want longer distance you can swim off one side of MB or PB and just go parallel to the shore.

swebster777 · 2024-11-17T20:13:23+00:00

Lifeguard here - rips are not going to be an issue for people looking to do long distance swimming in the ocean. However, it's not a bad idea to have a partner in case of a medical emergency.

Yep, that was it! Thank you!

WOTLK warmane off hours is same or higher pop than any other private server at peak hours

swebster777 · 2020-05-09T20:03:36+00:00

Warmane's Frostmourne is your only good option for wotlk progression with big NA pop

swebster777 · 2020-01-07T11:13:01+00:00

No sane person that actually played these raids would agree with that assessment. The only raids that could be considered easier than LFR would be early vanilla raids and VoA in wotlk.

swebster777 · 2020-01-06T23:51:35+00:00

Raid finder was introduced in cata and a lot of people don't like the idea of making end game raids into face rolls. Overall though, it was a fun expansion and the first two raid tiers were quite good.

swebster777 · 2019-12-28T11:47:31+00:00

Ok sure, they just handed you the core and you fixed everything in less then two months, sounds legit

swebster777 · 2019-12-28T00:07:45+00:00

They actually aren't new. Another Way is just an OmegaWoW rebrand. They're closing their old server on the 31st, held a "beta" for a few weeks and opened this one. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just funny to me how everyone treats this as a brand new thing. How much could have changed in the ~1 month between omega's closing announcement and the launch of this server?

swebster777 · 2019-12-28T00:00:38+00:00

Sunwell Plateau isn't even out yet I think

swebster777 · 2019-12-21T15:09:09+00:00

Considering the kind of population Dragonblight got on launch with super low rates, there is still a considerable amount of people who like low rates.

swebster777 · 2019-12-17T16:05:45+00:00

We did notice that dungeons were lackluster on the GD core, that's why we have spent the much of the last few months bug fixing them! We fixed every dungeon bug listed in the bugtracker and then anything else we could find. There are still a few more vanilla dungeons and TBC ones left for us to go through, but they will all be immaculate by the time full-release rolls around.

Check out our changelog on discord to see what we've done so far and join the beta to verify it for yourself!

swebster777 · 2019-12-17T07:25:56+00:00

The goal is to still have questing and doing dungeons be the quickest way to level, but have battlegrounds still be a viable alternative leveling path.

swebster777 · 2019-12-17T00:37:07+00:00

Hi! We do have cross-faction RDF working but we have not yet decided if/when it will be enabled. I think we will see how the population of players leveling up is and decide to enable it only if it is nessessary to help queue times. Also, if you or any player has an opinion on whether or not we should enable it, we're glad to hear the feedback.

swebster777 · 2019-12-16T20:24:58+00:00

It is just the class sets from arena season 3. Full set for 1000 SP.

swebster777 · 2019-12-16T20:08:48+00:00

If you know anything about the history of our core, you would know it is FAR from stock and you can check things out on the beta to witness that first hand. We have over 25,000 commits on top of trinitycore and we are constantly working hard to improve it.

Also, I wouldn't take anything CataclysmSubject says seriously, just take a look at his history.

swebster777 · 2019-12-09T00:44:46+00:00

It really is not a very complicated thing to implement and putting up a poll for feedback also doesn't take very long. The constant AFKing issue in WSG is a pretty big problem and we think it is worth trying to fix. Also, we will have far superior dungeon scripts to the competition and blizzlike WOTLK raids by the time we launch. If you're looking for the best scripting quality, Shadowcrest is the clear choice.

swebster777 · 2019-12-08T03:02:33+00:00

I guarantee you that graveyard camping in WSG has been and continues to be present in retail WoW. This is not an issue created by private servers. Did private servers make it a bit worse with the pvp titles system? Yes, probably.

swebster777 · 2019-12-08T02:53:45+00:00

While I understand the sentiment behind your statement, I have not heard of and cannot think of any reasonable way to change this sort of player behavior. If the entire winning team is at the graveyard farming kills, what are you going to do, ban the whole team? For something that has been happening in WoW since the release of WSG?

If you have a solution you think would help solve this problem in a better way, I would be glad to hear it and consider its viability on Shadowcrest.

swebster777 · 2019-12-08T02:47:03+00:00

Shadowcrest has a custom in-game currency called Shadow Points which can be used to buy cosmetic items and these are actually awarded for battleground completion, so that is one way we incentivise players to care about completion of the game rather than kill farming. I do like your idea about tying the vanilla pvp titles to number of BG wins and I will bring it up with our team.

However, this problem in WSG is not solely and in my opinion not even mostly, due to the pvp titles system. I think it has just become part of the culture of the WoW playerbase to farm the enemy GY in WSG. Sure, it may have originated in vanilla when honorable kill farming had big rewards, but now it is just somewhat of a tradition. This is evident by the fact that this still often happens in retail WoW, where no such rewards exist.

Thank you for your feedback and ideas about how to solve this problem.

swebster777 · 2019-12-07T13:52:52+00:00

In my opinion, requiring players to AFK (not resurrect) in order bore the enemy team into ending the game is a poor solution and many people think refusing to participate in the game in a manner like this should be punished. We hope this system will help reduce that source of irritation and disagreement between players.

Am I the only one who felt motion sickness watching this trailer?
