05:09.58ElysaEraclito: I've run into several uncapturable pets
05:10.06ElysaI get all excited that there's a pet I don't have yet
05:10.16ElysaAnd then it's because I'm not allowed to catch it :(
05:10.50PaaarnI say we protest
05:11.10Paaarnit feels like I downloaded that mod to make pet battles look like pokemon for nothing
05:13.22Eraclitowhy for nothing?
05:13.46Paaarnif I can't catch em all, what is the point in living anymore?
05:13.57Eraclitooh lol :P
05:14.12Eraclitowell you actually can't catch em all in pokemon games too

05:16.07Eraclitooh, i have the feeling i shouldn't use the pet i like, but i should study pets and tactics
05:16.14Eraclito...but i still use the pets i like
05:18.19Eraclito(i'm using Frosty, the Azure Whelpling and the Kirin Tor Familiar :P)

06:37.10ElysaFunny story about Time Lost
06:37.20ElysaOne of my guildmates was camping that
06:37.33Elysahe had access to about five other accounts and had them camped around Storm Peaks, all with npcscan on
06:38.03Elysaand we were in the middle of a Yogg 0-light attempt when he said on vent, "Sorry, something came up, I have to go"
06:38.06Elysaand hearthed out of the zone
06:38.09ElysaI knew exactly what was happening
06:38.22Elysabut half the raid thought something tragic had happened
06:38.34Elysanope, one of his accounts had had npcscan trigger the Time Lost
06:39.44ElysaWe still ended up getting server first on that, so it's okay
06:39.51Elysa:D

14:22.07JunkHead-damn... more quests keep popping up.
14:22.49Amarandeheh. this newegg feedback on the chair that's on sale today talks about how it's "weird" that the back and seat of a desk chair are attached together via the arms
14:23.09Amarandemy experience is that it's usually hard to find a chair that *isn't* designed that way, nowadays :S
14:23.29Amarandemuch to my annoyance, really, in the long run.
14:24.24stufyeah, i'd like a good office chair without armrests
14:24.32stufalthough in good ones you can usually remove them
14:24.47Amarandeoh, I'd like armrests, but I'd like ones that are actually *armrests* instead of China-revenue-traps like those kind are
14:25.01Amarandesee, the trouble with that kind of architecture is ... you get armrests that make it look like a comfy chair
14:25.31Amarandeexcept it's not really a comfy chair, because the arms are no longer there so much for you as as a structural element of the chair that, if you lean on the arms a lot, will go out that much faster than cheap stuff from China already does
14:25.58Amarandethey're not there for you to lean on anymore, they're there for the back to stay attached
14:26.12Amarandewhich ... is quite often how my chairs die :|

14:26.39Amarandeatm, I'm sitting on more of a stool than anything else, the bolt snapped in the arm on this chair, so I didn't have much choice but to take off the arms and back and just sit on the seat

14:46.27stufI'm probably going to ruin other people with the MX518 but

14:48.48eidyia|workdo you key bind through the key bind menu? like the  mouse buttons show up on that page? or do you put the actions on the action bar and then bind to the action bar?

20:17.19Amarande(Enchanters would probably be rubbing their palms in glee, though heh)

20:19.06Amarandedue to the one-two of 1) many more epics dropping are actually ones players use rather than shard, and 2) I'm guessing that this kind of loot can't be DE'd unless you are personally an enchanter, unlike, say, 5-man loot where you have the DE option?
20:20.05Amarandewhereas BITD, tons of useless epics used to drop (like us and our mail armour drops when there were no hunters or shamans even in the raid in ICC :P), and those epics were of course given to enchanters to DE

21:25.09DynoHello, is there a channel op available to talk too? @ alayton fewyn and TecnoBrat.
21:28.04Amarande(mind you, with the importance of living steel, I've been thinking of making every further alt, once I've got all profs, an alchemist, heh)
21:29.45fewynthere we go, http://uplol.fewyn.net/World_of_Warcraft_2012-10-18_17-28-46.png my bars are now setup for subtelty

21:38.25AmarandeI see your bars are set up totally different from mine, too. :)
21:38.37WardHAmarande, you can buy materials with spirits of harmony
21:38.51WardHstuff like Golden lotus
21:38.58WardHso basically you can get more stuff to sell :p
21:39.06AmarandeAlso, your music tastes are good. :D
21:39.12AlreadyI've recently talked to a friend of mine and he said he was thinking about dropping engingeering for alchemy as it seems like there are buckets of gold to be made. ... We both agreed that Inscription and Egineering should become secondary professions. :X
21:39.37AmarandeBTW, if you ever think "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave In Motion" is a long song title, I can name at least a couple that are even longer. :)
21:40.07WardHAlready, I made tons from my scribe

21:40.27WardHand I only had to spend a few K on herbs to mill for em
21:40.54Amarandeis living steel valuable enough to make it worth dedicating every otherwise un-professioned alt to alchemy, btw?
21:41.14Amarandeor is it still more profitable to have exactly one character per crafting profession, with their matching gathering profs, and then have the other alts all be dual gathering?
21:41.23AlreadyI've hardly been able to sell a single shoulder enchant and i don't have the money to play with the big guys and darkmoon cards.

21:42.00AlreadyAnd I'm still looking for a way to spend all those darn non-rare inks.
21:42.10Amarandethere's one thing I've been concerned about in re: 8
21:42.16fewynwhat about it?
21:42.32Amarandeif you buy the upgrade, is there any way to, if you need to reinstall Windows in the future, install 8 directly or do you have to install and activate 7 first every time?
21:42.46fewynyou can download the iso
21:42.49fewynbut!
21:42.56AmarandeI'm especially concerned about it because I'm looking at getting a Blu-Ray drive at some point in the future
21:42.56fewynthere's a built in feature
21:43.02fewynthat let's you restore to default
21:43.07fewynwipe everything that isn't windows
21:43.12Amarandeand some of them apparently aren't recognised by the W7 install disc, according to newegg comments
21:43.35Amarandewhich makes me wonder if it's safe to buy an upgrade edition of 8 or if I'd have to buy full retail just to be sure to be able to reinstall Windows if need be
21:43.59AlreadyJust install from USB then. If you computer isn't like 6-8 years old you should be able to boot from a usb device and install windows form it.

21:44.13fewynAmarande ^
21:46.29Amarandeah
21:46.41Amarandewhat are considered "factory settings" for a self-built PC, btw, or is that option only given for store-bought computers?
21:47.17AlreadyI'd guess it's the state when you installed windows.
21:48.17fewynwhat Already said
21:48.42fewynit basically reformats to fresh
21:48.52fewyni tested it once
21:49.02JunkHead-ok so, i read a thread on the wow forums yesterday. in reference to people complaining about the charms of good fortune.
21:49.07Amarandeah, so basically what startup repair did to me that one time on 7 :P
21:49.24JunkHead-and how they stack and take up space, but the greater charms (or whatever) are a currency.
21:49.30Amarandeonce I booted my 7 machine with my phone plugged into USB (a very bad idea with this mobo and phone, apparently)
21:49.35fewyni hate the lesser charms
21:49.53Amarandeand it decided (due to the power draw issue on the phone causing it to be unable to verify the system files properly, apparently) that ntoskrnl.exe was broken
21:49.54fewyni've got like 5 billion of them
21:50.05JunkHead-someone had the idea, of making the lesser charms perform the same function but in 5 mans.
21:50.08Amarande... and it proceeded to slingshot me backwards in time to when I'd just installed Windows and hadn't installed ANY programs
21:50.16fewynthat would be nice JunkHead-
21:50.18JunkHead-To at least give them a use
21:50.21JunkHead-And yes. I agree
21:50.29JunkHead-make them "currency" also.
21:51.09JunkHead-would still be a greatidea though.
21:51.18JunkHead-but i'd love to use them in 5 man heroics.
21:51.37JunkHead-but i guess thatd require 5 mans to use the sameloot system as lfr
21:52.07AlreadyI don't see any use for them in 5 Man
21:54.23fewynthings don't drop for me in 5 mans
21:54.27JunkHead-I'd love it.
21:54.41AlreadyWith all the ink i collected from level 85 to 90 i got a total of 23 rare ink (2 Darkmoon cards) and 171 (some more as i already used some of it) which means i'll be able to make scroll of wisdome for the next 60 Days.
21:54.42JunkHead-because as of now, they serve 0 purpose other than "turn in 90 for 3 greaters"
21:55.09fewynwhy won't the HH drop my ring
21:55.35AlreadyExcept for Enchanter which could get some more loot to DE I don't see any reason why you'd use the lesser charms in 5man

22:01.13Amarandeyou know what I find is odd, speaking of mog
22:01.35AmarandeI have a number of characters whose names would imply a certain colour

22:12.04Amarandeand is actually a little bit better in a way, since you couldn't cosmetic weapons or shields at all in LOTRO

23:20.03JunkHeadhey i have a silly question.
23:20.37JunkHeadpreviously, for pve, pvp gear lacked in secondary stats due to resilience
23:20.53JunkHeadbut in MoP, it seems to be just as good as pve, plus pvp stats.
23:20.59JunkHeadam i wrong in this?
23:21.06StormscapeJunk it's because PvP stats don't cost iLevel budget anymore
23:21.07JunkHeadlike, is there a huge difference?
23:21.10JunkHeadok.
23:21.21Stormscapeso a 483 PvP epic is just as good as a 483 PvE epic
23:21.24JunkHeadso going to a heroic (as dps) in full pvp gear is fine?
23:21.29StormscapeYes
23:21.33JunkHeadok good.
23:21.36JunkHeadi thought so.
23:21.39JunkHeadjust wanted to check.
23:21.42StormscapePeople will probably still get buttmad, but fuck em
23:22.05JunkHeadwell, i just upgraded a green neck and 2 440 or less blues for 300g total.
23:22.10JunkHeadso.... don't care.:P
23:23.01AmarandeStorm: you mean like at low level, you try to get something like an ellie shaman started and end up having to wear cloth half the time because the leather awards are agi?
23:23.48Amarandethough thankfully, it's practically impossible to die under normal questing circumstances as a low-level (late teens atm) elemental shaman unless you wait till too late to cast Healing Surge
23:24.08Amarandeheh. casters have come a long way
23:24.22AmarandeI remember on my first character, a caster, shaking fists at the screen whenever I encountered silithids in particular
23:24.33Amarandebecause the damn swarmer broods with 1hp would be your DOOMY DOOM OF DOOM
23:25.49Stormscapeby caster I assume you don't mean mage, because a mage can kill viritually unlimited size packs of low HP mobs
23:27.45AmarandeStorm: yeah, it was a long while before I started my first serious mage
23:27.56Amarandebut, I'm mostly thinking of back in the day when there wasn't a cap on spell pushback
23:28.13Amarandeand next thing you ran into a single one of those damned swarmers, and %#&$*(@#&*(@&*(#% I CAN'T EVEN GET ONE %#$*(@#&*(&*(%# CAST OFF
23:28.25Stormscapewell with a large swarm like that my first thought as a mage would be
23:28.28Stormscapefrost nova
23:28.30Stormscapeor cone of cold
23:28.45Amarandeheh, my first was a priest
23:30.04Amarandethis was also back in the day when it really sucked to be certain levels, because you were about to get your next spell rank of something important on the next level, but of course the mobs weren't much easier on this level
23:30.12tatehmh
23:30.22tatei'm getting used to my new time zone
23:30.33Amarandescaling spells = good, pushback caps = good, int giving spellpower to casters like the other primary stats do to physical classes = good
23:30.39Amarandewe didn't get any of those back in the bad old days, heh
23:30.46tatedecided to live by utc-4, so far so good
23:32.06Amarandethen I tried a pally and found the swarmers to be "what, me worry?"
23:32.20Amarandesince, yay retribution aura, heh
23:32.50Amarandeor even just get a nagelring from BRD
23:33.24Amarandenobody really cared much about BRD loot then, since you were about to replace it with outland loot, but the tiny little bit of "attacker takes damage" was a godsend if you (like I did) liked questing southern Kalimdor
23:34.13Amarandebtw, if a 483 PvP epic is as good as a 483 PvE epic ...
23:34.30PrimarPriests dealing with swarms was basically PW:S, PsyScream, run like fuck
23:34.32Amarandedoes this mean we're going to start seeing certain classes in hardcore raiding guilds being pretty much required to become PvP greats in order to hit the top ranks at PvE?
23:34.41Primaror spam r1 SW:P if they had fuck all health
23:34.42JunkHeadno.
23:34.47StormscapeAmarande, not even close
23:34.51StormscapePvP gear is itemised for PvE
23:34.53Stormscapeerm
23:34.54StormscapePvP
23:35.01JunkHeadright
23:35.03Stormscapethe itemisation is awful for top end raiding
23:35.13JunkHeadfor heroic 5 mans, pvp gear is great
23:35.17Stormscapemastery and haste everywhere
23:35.19JunkHeadjust reforge.
23:35.19Stormscapeno crit
23:35.23JunkHeadand deal with it
23:35.30StormscapeAlso, extremely lacking in hit
23:37.18Amarandeyeah, that's why I said "certain classes"
23:37.36Amarandemastery and haste sounds like arcane mages might be told to spend some time in the arena, for instance
23:37.54JunkHeadalso, raid guilds wont require pvp really.
23:37.59Amarandethose two are bread-and-butter stats for that kind of spec
23:38.03JunkHeadbecause if they're good at raiding, theres no need to pvp
23:38.13Amarandeyeah, that's true.
23:38.15JunkHeadsure some peopel could pvp in their spare time pick up a piece here and there.
23:38.17JunkHeadwont hurt.
23:38.19Amarandeperhaps the main thing will be when tiers are new
23:38.28JunkHeadas long as the stats are fine. as Stormscape said
23:38.41Amarandeand guilds with PvE/PvP combo players get an edge up because the PvP players can bring in the arena weapons with higher DPS and spellpower
23:38.42StormscapeTrouble is, the stats are subpar for raiding for the most part
23:38.53Amarandewhich will help them meet the enrage timers in the first few weeks better than other guilds, no?
23:39.12Stormscapeif you need a weapon to down a boss, it isn't the weapon you need.
23:39.35Amarandeespecially since you can buy PvP weapons with currencies, but except for cata and earlier wands, pretty sure you still can't buy any PvE weapons with currency
23:39.38JunkHeadStormscape for the most part sure, but hell, you got a rogue in guild with shitty luck and a blue weapon? fuck it. if he likes to pvp, go for it. epic weapon inc.
23:40.00AmarandeStorm: yeah, that's why I was mostly thinking about the DPS stats on higher ilvl weapons
23:40.00JunkHead(just for example)
23:40.11Amarandenot sure how tight the enrage timers in MoP are, though
23:40.22Amarandeif one ever sees something like Brutallus, though ...
23:41.05StormscapeAmarande, it sounds like a good idea on paper, but this is a typical PvP weapon: http://www.wowhead.com/item=85109
23:41.17Stormscapepoorly itemised for anything, PvE or PvP
23:41.36Stormscapeand significantly lower iLevel than anything else
23:41.47JunkHeadi ahve 2 green weapons.:(
23:41.49JunkHeadmy luck sucks
23:42.08StormscapeJunk: Arena of Annihiliation
23:42.12Stormscapetakes 10 minutes, free 450 blue
23:42.13JunkHeaddid it.
23:42.16JunkHeadgot the tanking weapon
23:42.20Stormscapeoh
23:42.32Amarandehm.
23:42.38Amarandeno more rating requirement or am I missing something?
23:42.38JunkHeadsince i started heroics, i havent seen a blue 2h weapon except staves
23:42.42JunkHeadperiod.
23:42.53JunkHeadnone that ive seen and lost the roll on.
23:42.55JunkHeadjust none.
23:42.56StormscapeAmarande, there's a very steep rating requirement
23:43.00Stormscapewowhead doesn't show it
23:43.09StormscapeI think it's 2400
23:43.18Stormscape+ you need to have earned 16k points in the season to buy it
23:43.29Amarandewow, 2400, so basically you need to be a glad title contender to buy it
23:43.46StormscapeExactly, people aren't going to be simply buying PvP weapons
23:43.50Stormscapeeven if they can, it's only 490
23:43.51Amarandewhich reminds me, once again, and note I've maintained this since S3
23:44.00Stormscapecompared to 483 from HoF and TOES LFR
23:44.11Amarandethe whole rating requirement thing seems to me to be extremely dumb. I'm not sure why they stick so pigheadedly to it.
23:44.21AmarandeI mean, consider a team getting started in pvp later on in an expansion
23:44.42Amarandeto get the better gear, they have to beat people with better gear, in a game that heavily favours the geared, WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO GET THE GEAR THEMSELVES
23:44.52Amarandeit basically makes first-season advantage permanent, no?
23:45.02StormscapeI don't really give a shit about PvP
23:45.11Amarandethe first teams to hit the ultra high ratings get the ultra high gear to go with it and then they can just wipe the floor with everyone?
23:45.36Amarandemeanwhile, fewer and fewer people can actually get to the ratings for the later season gear - because they have to beat people with that rating, who've gotten that gear, in order to get the rating
23:45.47Amarandeas a long-time chess player, I am quite familiar with how ELO works, sadly :(
23:46.14Amarande(in fact, the ratings system used for WoW PvP was, originally, invented to be used with chess)
23:46.38Amarandebut, to use chess as a comparison
23:46.45*** join/#wowhead Primar|Home (~nnscript@host86-175-215-31.wlms-broadband.com)
23:46.48Amarandethe whole idea of ratings-based gear is like ... well ... if we used chess as a comparison
23:47.04Amarandeit's like saying "sorry, you don't have a grandmaster rating yet, therefore, you don't get to use a queen"
23:47.20Amarande"sorry, you're just a beginner, you don't get to have a queen or rooks till you reach a rating of 1800 in your local tournaments"
23:47.33Amarandeyeaaaaaah, like that would work well :)
23:48.15Stormscapeor you can just run LFR and get 483 epics from Heart of Fear and TOES.
23:48.51Amarandeyes, this is a major reason why I don't PvP, except for the occasional casual random battleground while leveling
23:50.59Amarandealthough it's not quite as bad now as it was back in S3, apparently
23:51.42Amarandethe nuts-kicker back in those days particularly was that the rating requirement *stayed* on past seasonal gear (not sure if it still does now, I think if it does it's nerfed?)
23:51.51Amarandeand it stayed the full requirement as if it was brand new
23:52.12Amarandeso eventually, you got to the point where Arena Points were practically worthless until and unless you could achieve the rating the gear sets asked for
23:52.47AmarandeBasically it made PvP almost entirely for people who wanted to eat, drink, and smoke PvP
23:53.27Amarandeanyway
23:53.53Amarandeyeah, quest rewards ought to be fixed up in the mid levels (I noticed the panda starting area uses the new paradigm, too, which is nice)
23:54.51Amarandeunless ... would that result in things like certain cloth rewards being denied to warlocks and mages because they have spirit, so are considered healer items and only pop up for priests?
23:54.59*** join/#wowhead Vladinator (~Vladinato@102.111.45.31.customer.cdi.no)
23:55.10Amarandeor do you get offered all the items that you can physically wear, regardless of whether it would be a good idea to do so?
23:55.36Amarande(some quest rewards, particularly, have unique mog appearances, so I'm wondering if cleaning up the quest rewards like that while leveling would piss off a lot of moggers)
