Revert the New Changes

Post by Fizzles » Mon Jun 14, 2021 10:04 pm

I don't think it is necessary to start implementing changes on the QoL that existed on Turtle WoW because there is no need to do so. For example, mail between characters is now changed to have a 1 hour duration instead of instant mail. If there is a real need to do these changes due to technical or hardware issues, then it would be nice if devs elaborate further on why they implemented these changes on QoL. I don't think devs should've moved with these changes without asking the community first on why.

I am on with this Fizzles.
QoL changes that actually make the game better doesnt have to be changes just "Classic".
We already do custom stuff which negates that statement and the changes that nobody asked or wanted being forced upon us is stupid. We don't want it at all and I am sure almost entire community agree's with us on the changes to the mail, wormhole and brainwashing device.

Yes the server is anything but blizz-like, please don't try to emulate blizz-like if it is only going to add arbitrary barriers for players! We would like a revert asap.

Pleaseeeeee Torta can we undo the 1hr wait between our own characters. I get it for sending mail to other players to wait a lil bit.

Yes, please, the mailbox, brainwashing, wormhole things were totally not needed. Why? Server QoL shortcuts were welcomed and nice as they were.

Yeah i agree on the mailbox change being bad. This encourages unnecessary multiboxing: You on toon A trade to toon B on 2nd account, then trade to toon C on 1st account. Bam, same exact thing as instant same account mail, but with extra steps that hurts the average players' immersion.

I'm okay with the rest.

Especially the cast time on the wormhole. With instant, it's too easy of a get out of jail free card for hardcore toons. Also i've missclicked it a few times and wasted my hour cooldown, and almost ported a few raid members out of our raid in the process. Keep this change please.

As other's have said the mailbox change encourages multiboxing, which I would argue is far more against the spirit of vanilla than just having the slight quality of life instant mailing to characters on the same account.

The mail delay for characters from same account is now reverted back to 1 minute.

Keep in mind, we're in the middle of quite massive quality core upgrade: some things get fixed, some thing get temporary broken due to a lot of conflicts between our custom code and original's VMaNGOS.

Casting time for custom spells (WH, Brainwashing, Planter) will stay, I always wanted to set them but without having a client updates we had certain limitations. It's now working as intended.

Thank you for hearing us torta! The others a more understandable changes but the mail seemed like blizz-like for the sake of blizz-like which seemed to clash with the rest of what the server seems to be about is all.
Hope you have a lovely day and thank you for your hard work, you are doing a wonderful job!

I'm glad it's sorted :)

The change wasn't implemented with an intention to cause pain and misery to the player-base, it was a simply one change along with the hundreds of others. It wasn't noticed on PTR, nor really given much thought about it, until it was noticed by both team and the players.

Found another one: alchemy potions now stack in 10 (were in 20 since like last two years). Dear TW team, please consider reverting this one too.

No, they stack to 10 here, as opposed to the 5 they normally do.

Oops, my bad. Somehow I thought they were 20 before the last bunch of upgrades, a mind lapse on my side. Dreadfully sorry
