Re: Racial melee specialization rebalancing.

I think that overall, its probably an improvement over the current system, and it does give a decent bit more flair to the other races in some ways. I like the idea that when leveling up as a night elf warrior, you actually have a reason to take polearms and even certain staves into consideration a...

Racial melee specialization rebalancing.

I always feel a bit bad when I don't go human or orc on my melee classes. That tasty +5 weapon skill is pretty impactful in PvE. Granted, it's not a MASSIVE bonus that means all other races are completely not viable, and I'm by no means a min-maxer, but I feel other races should at least get somethi...

Re: Accessible shoulder and head items early game

I find it exciting when I first get my helm or shoulders. It's exciting. I don't think everything needs to be handed to the player at low levels. Keeps things interesting!

Re: Cool keybinds thread

That's interesting! I've heard of people binding things to their mouse wheel in FPS games, but not an MMO! I use two bars for my most used spells. The top one is 1 2 3 4 5 6 R T F G V B. I rarely use 5 and 6. 1-4 are my main damaging spells, with 1 being my bread and butter spell. Fireball, Shadowbo...

[Paladin] How much does Holy Strike change paladin viability?

This is something that I feel needs more theorycrafting. In vanilla, Retribution was never really used because they go OOM so quickly, and Protection was good at AoE tanking, but not much else, so most paladins went Holy. But with the introduction of Holy Strike, how has this affected Ret and Prot? ...

Re: Question on Hardcore

Step 1) Don't die. But seriously, hardcore is meant to be punishing. You can't throw yourself at a quest you can TECHNICALLY beat, but die fourteen times in the process. You need to be a bit more strategic and thoughtful. And yes, you'll have to grind mobs. My druid grinded in Thousand Needles from ...

Re: Manual Crowd Pummeler Tweak

I think the easiest way to fix it would be to give cats something better than MCP. Personally, I'd also like something else that would negate the need to powershift, but eh, that's a separate issue. For MCP replacement, maybe an item that with an effect that, when you use Tiger's Fury, you gain 50% ...

Re: <Mortal> You think you do but you don't.

Call me stupid but you can't group in instance. ... Custom titles require patching the client. So no can do. sad_turtle Ah, shit.

Re: <Mortal> You think you do but you don't.

Kargoz on YouTube (and a ton of other people) are doing something VERY similar on Classic. 1) If you die, you must delete your character. 1a) If you see the "Release Spirit" button, it counts as a death, so no Reincarnation, Soulstone, etc. 2) The only gear you can use is what you have mad...

Re: A possible wet debuff

I like the idea of this, but I do feel it needs to be an opt-in sort of thing. I'd love a "Glyph of Immersion" that adds a bunch of stuff like this. Small nuisances or bonuses that really don't make a huge difference, but lets you feel a bit more immersed in the world. Fire resistance and ...

Re: Locked Chests in Capital Cities

Having the items in the chest as RP gear would be something I could get behind, though. And maybe the rogue epic questline could involve sneaking through the other faction's capital city? The Horde could get some human noble's heirloom dagger, while the Alliance could get some ceremonial orcish blad...

Re: Locked Chests in Capital Cities

Nah, I don't like the idea of having something so easily farmable. For something that's -hard- to farm though, how about you can only open the chests in the OPPOSITE FACTION'S cities? So, you, as a thief, need to successfully sneak into enemy territory, without getting seen, for potentially huge ric...

Re: Racial weapon skins! (Or at least glaives...)

Actually, one idea for gnomes could be using the throwing weapon models (at least, the ones you hold by the handle) as daggers. On an all-GM RP server I frequent, I like using those on my gnomes over normal daggers, just because the throwing daggers look more proportional to them, whereas daggers lo...

Racial weapon skins! (Or at least glaives...)

Simple suggestion: each race has their own "racial weapon" skins. They're alright, damage-wise, while levelling, but of course don't hold a candle to high level gear. However, with the transmog system we have in place, it could lead to some nice outfits here. Let's use the night elves as a...

Re: Sands of Time suggestions: let your voice be heard!

I would LOVE playable goblins so, so much!! But I don't think we should do anything too crazy with them. I'd say either give them the option to pick either faction, or have them join the Horde (the Steamwheedle Cartel -was- allied with the Horde, during the initial invasion of Azeroth) and give the ...

Initial thoughts on the "diplomat" thing.

It's nothing huge, really. I think it's a great idea for a smaller server like this. Maybe later on, once we get bigger, we can say that the faction war started up a little more hardcore, and showing friendliness to a member of the opposite faction is considered treason, giving us an IC reason as to...
