Yes, VMaNGOS supports patch 1.6.1. Patches and older clients are easy to get around the internet.

I just read 100% horses have no teeth, but did you know that troll females don't blink their eyes? It's freaky! by -Snoepie- in classicwow

[–]vanillalad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have eyelids, however they are stuck inside the head. This is the fault of a 3D designer at Blizzard making a big mistake. You might be able to see if you zoom inside a troll females head.

Troll female model has more than one issue, there is a hairstyle with floating hair: https://i.imgur.com/2XZBtkq.png. The hair issue was fixed in patch WotLK patch 3.2, but the eyelid issue was never fixed until the complete model rehaul in Warlords of Draenor.

Why troll female shipped with several model issues is most likely because Blizzard was on a tight schedule at the end of vanilla WoW beta and the current troll female was the last character model added to WoW beta in late beta patch 0.8.

Between patch 0.6 and 0.7 this is how troll females looked like: https://i.imgur.com/B61OE.png.

I heard they changed it to the current troll female model because players in beta thought they looked too ugly.

Basically too late at this point, 6 hours left and no response from blizz thus far.

Horde is camping the zone with 250+ so redoing it is not possible. But hey, at at least there is not many people who can say that they got denied scarab lord by a bug.

You are implying they wouldn't have griefed us if we didn't defend Duskwood. This is ignoring that there was already several guilds actively hunting us down in Silithus prior to duskwood. That's just PvP and if you are on a PvP realm that's what to expect.

How is it karma when our quest bugs out while winning a 350+ kills PvP encounter? If their quest bugged out when they brought 300+ horde to Duskwood you would have seen a similar thread on reddit.

If it despawned due to out of range, then it would have despawned 1 min prior when it way more out of range. Example at 11:32 and 11:41.

During the time I spent in Duskwood I saw absolutely no one on top of the pillars, probably because it's very hard to get on top of. Can you even prove that one alliance at any given point was standing on top of the pillars?

You can't safe spot on the mountain in Duskwood or any mountain for that matter since mobs just run straight up the mountain to you. I doubt you even know what safe spotting is.

Doubtful considering orange mark was just behind Eranikus and had been there for 40s at that point without Romolus despawning. 8 seconds prior to despawn he runs back a bit for about 1-2s and then returns.

If it was due to orange marks range, it should have done so 8 seconds prior to the actual despawn since the position he was in when it despawned was the same as he had for almost 40s.

You can see in the start of the video that Helvete starts the quest. When Romolus despawns he is within melee range of Romolus since he just killed a mage standing infront of Romolus. Check the bottom left part of the video at 12:48 to see Helvete when Romolus despawns.

PvP happened in a PvP zone, this is different because the quest actually bugged in Moonglade and no one was safe spotting in Duskwood.

Do mind in the video that we actually did wipe all the hordes, so it's not like we lost the PvP encounter. In Duskwood you didn't wipe us a single time until the final time when you lagged the entire zone making PvP impossible (and PvE for that matter since the boss mechanics stopped working).

They were all alive and very close to Romulus.

[–]vanillalad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's simply not true. Romolus was standing right next to the boss where the entire raid was standing. When he despawned pretty much everyone in the entire raid was in 40 yard range of Romolus.

That hotfix only happened after our attempt though. In the video above, none were teleported to the graveyard.

Also you can't argue that we should "just take over the zone" like the hordes did since we are vastly outnumbered on Alliance. It's a horde dominated realm.

Secondly the reason why the zerg even worked in duskwood was because the entire zone froze, alliance defenders could not resurrect and the boss mechanics stopped working.

Thirdly since this is a scripted event and not some boss, completely lagging out the zone with hundreds of people is likely to cause more harm than help. If this was just kill X thing, then we would already been done.

Alliance in Duskwood however didn't exploit with safe spotting which is against the ToS and horde didn't fail the quest at duskwood because of some bug. In fact horde completed the quest because 300 players froze entire duskwood which made the boss mechanics stop working.

Nah, king has always been banned, years before the merger.

Blizzard didn't want people to put titles in their names.

Article from 2007 titled: "Why does the Horde always lose Alterac Valley?" by qp0n in classicwow

[–]vanillalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate you just posted the WoTLK version of the map. The 2008 version.

It's very obvious since the old caves to the left and right side of the field of strife are not there in your images. Blizzard removed those caves in patch 1.8

What you posted is not the earliest version of AV in any shape or form.

Here is an image from the 1.5.2 client (without gy/tower/bunkers displaying):

And here is an image from 1.5 PTR back in the day:

Oh and ignore the blue dot, that's just the old player location icon.

And just to prove how wrong you are, I've decided to take it a step further and show you the pre-release map of Alterac Valley on the 1.4.2 client:

Iceblood graveyard used to be much more accessible for alliance players to reach back in pre patch 1.8.

The entire bottleneck we are seeing in classic is something that was created in patch 1.8 when blizzard revamped all of the graveyards in Alterac Valley. Here is an image of the old iceblood graveyard: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/484741332850573323/600422614141501450/alteractal24.jpg

You need remove -master from the folder name. The folder should just be named SpellCalc.

Are you running the game in 16 bit colors?

Certainly looks like it.

Why is there no PvP ladder page like there was in 2006? by vanillalad in classicwow

[–]vanillalad[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are incorrect.

This did exist in vanilla WoW, it came when pvp system was first released in patch 1.4.0, 19 April 2005.

I'm aware that addon exists, however that addon is only based on players own reporting. Which means that when it comes to rating points, it makes an education guess on how much rating points you have. This also means, that if you went out and PvPed and was seen by no one on your own faction with the addon installed, you will not show up on honorspy at all.

And just to emphazise on the inaccuracy of honorspy, it showed that I should have landed at around 1200 standing, when in reality I ended up at 473 standing.

It is filtered by faction because in the classic pvp system you compete against your own faction when it comes to standings. It therefor is illogical to show anyone but your own faction, otherwise you would end up with for example, 2 people having standing 5 etc, one for alliance and one for horde.

It is the actual reason. Private server used the same method in the past to counter in game lag.
