IRC log for #wowhead on 20141128

00:00.11Lianthit showed up ALL the questgivers like a (!) mark on the map in each zone
00:00.17AGenericGamerand its best to download these with curse's updator, right?
00:00.19Amarandeyeah, I used one called Loremaster that did the same thing at one point
00:00.27Amarandebut once you have Outland loremaster you really don't need it anymore
00:00.33Lianthbut two weeks ago with WoD launch it was still not up-to-date
00:00.42Amarandeit's the only continent where the quests are really placed in a fashion that's that troublesome
00:01.03Lianthtrue
00:01.35AGenericGamerits fine. im not at WoD content yet
00:01.49AGenericGamermy highest lvl char is 37
00:01.56AGenericGameri just started
00:02.11Amarandeyup, take time to smell the roses :)
00:02.21Amarandefar too many MMO players are in a damned hurry to get to top level and "endgame"
00:02.29LianthAmarande, but still, my ranking is
00:02.41LianthWoD > TBC > Cata > MoP > WotLK
00:02.51LianthI did not play Vanilla, so can't rank this one
00:03.04Amarandethough sadly, MMORPGs so often practically enforce this if you want to do endgame at all :(
00:03.14Lianth^ THIS.
00:03.17Liantheveryone rushes
00:03.32AmarandeI think Final Fantasy XI may be the only relatively recent one not to suffer from that problem to any significant degree
00:03.38AGenericGamerthe only reason i want to get to top level is to get the 10th annaversry stuff (I cant spell for shit)
00:03.45kullervoAGenericGamer: Mapster
00:03.51Amarandeprobably only because it forces you to group at virtually all points in the game (something I usually dislike, and something most MMOs don't do)
00:04.12Amarandenot that I dislike grouping, or I wouldn't even play MMOs
00:04.20Amarandewhat I tend to dislike is when you *have to have* a group at all times
00:04.26kullervommm yess this mlerpmlerp is soon ready, can't wait to show you
00:04.37Amarandebecause then you have to basically maintain a lockstep schedule with your buddies all the time or you can't play at all
00:04.53AGenericGameris curse the best place to get all of these? and should i use the downloader client?
00:05.13kullervocurse is best due to the easy-to-use client
00:05.29kullervoit also auto updates if you're willing to pay for the subscription
00:05.45kullervoI do, also supports the site
00:06.35AGenericGameris there a way to check for updates from the client if I cant affort curse premium?
00:06.39AGenericGamerlike, manually?
00:06.41kullervoyes
00:06.45Amarandeand do not download clients from places called things like wowmatrix or ten ton hammer
00:07.06kullervoit checks for updates anyway but you must click once for each addon
00:07.09Amarandethose are vile things to be thrown into a small pit and beaten to death, preferably with something weak like The Stoppable Force because it'll hurt longer :)
00:07.20kullervoalso you can only queue up to like three addons at once so it takes a while if you're at 100+ addons >_>

00:07.58*** join/#wowhead HAZJ_ (~HAZJ@54.Red-83-60-169.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net)
00:09.43AGenericGameris it worth getting adons like DBM when im not at end game content?
00:09.55Amarandenot really
00:10.01kullervoit also has timers and warnings for low level content and pvp
00:10.10Amarandethere's some addons (like Little Wigs, which is itself an addon for Big Wigs, so you need both) that give you timers and warnings for lower level content
00:10.20Amarandebut most lower level content is pretty simple by now, at least till you get into cataclysm or so
00:10.55Amarandedoesn't hurt to have it installed, on the other hand
00:11.04Amarandethe best warning addon when leveling though is GTFO
00:11.39Amarandethat'll warn you whenever you're standing in something hurtful, regardless of whether it is associated with any specific fight
00:11.52AGenericGameroh, thats helpful
00:12.22AGenericGamernoob question: can adons conflict? for example, having bigwigs/littlewigs installed at the same time as DBM?
00:12.22kullervoseparate modules, mind
00:12.42Amarandeyou generally only want one boss warning addon
00:12.42kullervosome addons may conflict but you don't want many different boss mods at once
00:12.50kullervotoo much redundant and overlapping information

00:14.23*** join/#wowhead Stormkitty (~Derf@unaffiliated/stormscape)
00:14.28Amarandehell, GTFO apparently even warns you if what you're standing in just BECAME hurtful, too, e.g. drowning
00:14.31Amarandewhich I didn't realise at first
00:14.36Amarande... and drowned because of it ... LOL
00:15.05AmarandeI was doing this quest where everything's underwater and then suddenly the GTFO buzzer goes off saying MOVE IT MOVE IT MOVE IT
00:15.13Amarandeand I'm looking around trying to figure out wtf I'm standing in
00:15.17Amarandeand then suddenly I die without finding it
00:15.25Amarandeand only then did it occur to me that I forgot to watch my breath timer :(
00:15.45AGenericGamerah
00:15.54AmarandeGlug, glug, sleep with the fishes!
00:16.22AGenericGamerooh, what about adon packs?
00:16.41kullervovery noob friendly, when something breaks you're fucked
00:18.28AGenericGamerhmm
00:19.13kullervohttp://kullervo.dy.fi/pub/drop/pic/WoWScrnShot_112114_023517.jpg
00:20.57AGenericGamerooh, what ui is that?
00:21.02kullervoown custom
00:21.20AGenericGameri like how non intrusive it is
00:21.31AGenericGamerits also very clean
00:21.46kullervoI made an installable package of it last year when I gave it to my friend's gf who had a *terribly* bad UI
00:23.43AGenericGamerdo you have it uploaded online anywhere?
00:24.00kullervoNot anymore
00:24.06AGenericGamerok, np
00:24.23kullervoeven if the server's hdd hadn't died the scripts would have nuked it already due to the file being too old
00:24.39AGenericGamerah
00:25.09AGenericGamerif i bought WoD next week, and played for ~2 hours a day, could I reach lvl 100 by December 31st?
00:25.22kullervoyes
00:25.22AGenericGamerjust because I really want the 10th birthday promo stuffs
00:26.05AGenericGameralso, thats assuming i boosed to 90
00:26.24kullervoroll a panda monk
00:26.39kullervoyou could get from 1 to 100 before dec 31st
00:26.48kullervodouble rested exp and a daily that gives 1hr of +50%
00:28.53AGenericGamerooh
00:28.58AGenericGamerthat gives me an idea
00:29.10AGenericGameri refered a friend not too long ago
00:29.15AGenericGamertriple xp still applies
00:29.49AGenericGameralso, alliance or horde?
00:31.40kullervotriple exp only applies when you're grouped with the friend and near enough in level and distance
00:41.15AGenericGameri know. so we both boost to level 90 (niether of us have WoD yet) and both choose the same race
00:41.21AGenericGamerwait
00:41.24kullervooh no that won't work
00:41.26AGenericGamerrace doesnt matter
00:41.35kullervothe boost only works below lvl 85 or something
00:41.56AGenericGameroh?
00:41.57AGenericGamerdang
00:42.49AGenericGamerso, ill boost a pandarian monk. alliance or horde?
00:43.10Stormkitty[16:42:51] [2] [Beaz]: <BASEMENT WIZARDS> is looking for ranged dps to fill our mythic roster. We raid Tues-Thur from 8:00-11:00 server time. Pst if you are interested or have any questions.
00:43.13Stormkittybest guild name 2014
00:43.32AGenericGamerlol
00:44.23Stormkittyoh, with regard to this question from yesterday
00:44.23Stormkitty[21:20:02] <AGenericGamer> kullervo, are the blizzard_"AddonName" files actual adons, or are they just part of the base game?
00:44.34StormkittyThey're not add-ons but in a sense they are
00:44.51Stormkittythey just happen to be stored in the addon folder
00:44.57AGenericGameroh
00:44.58AGenericGamerok
00:45.16Stormkittythe game will recreate if they're missing on startup
00:48.50AGenericGamerah
00:49.06AGenericGamer(sorry for so many questions) DBM or BigWigs?
00:50.08StormkittyMost people use DBM
00:50.14kullervotoss a coin
00:52.04Mr_Rabiesi find i miss too many things when i tried switching to bigwigs, but dbm has conditioned me to how its alerts work
00:52.15Mr_Rabiesskinner-style
00:56.13AGenericGameri see. the only reason i like bigwigs is because of the littlewigs adon, since im not at end game content yet
00:56.48kullervoI just said DBM has the same thing
00:56.59kullervothink it's dbm-notscaryatall or something
00:58.06Mr_Rabiesbigwigs is the hipster option - it's cleaner and other addon authors seem to prefer it for various reasons, but dbm is more thorough with its alerts. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, though. probably better to keep using bigwigs until you feel you -need- to use dbm
00:58.57AGenericGameroh
00:58.58AGenericGamerok
00:59.00Mr_Rabiesi'm just so used to it i prefer it for that reason, but bigwigs is definitely less complex for better and for worse
00:59.16tenterflexI've been using DBM for as long as I can remember, that's why I use it
00:59.28tenterflexAlso Mr_Rabies a question - any idea if /dbm pull timers convert for Bigwigs users?
01:00.01Mr_Rabiesbigwigs is designed to mostly interface with dbm as much as it can, but no clue
01:00.07kullervothey work
01:00.24tenterflexkk
01:01.42StormkittyWhy you should use DBM: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/dbm-archaeology
01:02.58AGenericGamerlol
01:04.25AGenericGamerhmm, i cant seem to find the flightmasters plugin for handynotes
01:05.26*** join/#wowhead one0one_a (~one_zero@ip70-181-75-49.oc.oc.cox.net)
01:06.06AGenericGamerits in a adon pack but i cant find the standalone
01:06.24AGenericGamerhttp://www.curse.com/addons/wow/handy-notes_flight-masters just gives me a 404...
01:07.54AGenericGameri guess its not updated anymore
01:11.06tenterflexagenericgamer
01:11.08tenterflexI use an addon called
01:11.25AGenericGamer?
01:11.46tenterflex"Flight Map and Time"
01:12.06tenterflexit's really good, shows you real-life time it will take to fly between different flight paths, shows all flight paths on the map and they're greyed out if you're yet to collect them etc.
01:12.14tenterflexupdated for WoD, works on all old content too
01:13.38AGenericGamerwill it conflict with any map mods?
01:13.40tenterflexassuming that's what the flight-masters handynotes addon did
01:13.42tenterflexnot afaik
01:13.48tenterflexi use handynotes draenor treasures and works fine
01:14.17AGenericGamerok
01:18.57AGenericGamerim staying at 20 adons
01:19.13AGenericGamerincluding that
01:19.21AGenericGamerif i keep going ill just end up with far too many
01:19.55tenterflexI have 45
01:19.55tenterflexlol
01:21.34AGenericGamerok so i dont feel nearly as bad
01:21.40AGenericGamerill let myself have 25
01:21.45AGenericGamerwhats a good auction house mod?
01:24.08tenterflexI think people like Auctioneer or something
01:24.10tenterflexbut I use Auctionator
01:25.03AGenericGameris there a difirence?
01:25.24tenterflexi think only minor differences. I prefer Auctionator myself though
01:27.55AGenericGamerok
01:28.19AGenericGameris there a way to manually ad adons to the curse client?
01:38.20AGenericGameralso, is bartender4 a good adon?
01:39.26kullervono
01:39.33kullervoit's clunky, use dominos instead
01:45.27AGenericGameris there a way to manually ad adons to the curse client?
01:45.55AGenericGamerif the addon i want isnt on the curse site, but i still want to keep track of it on the client?
01:52.08kullervowhy would you, if it's not on curse?

01:54.54AGenericGamermy friend wants me to get it
01:55.39AGenericGameralso, speaking of non-curse addons, do you still have the installer or files for your ui?
01:55.51AGenericGamerif you ever get around to puting it online it looks fantastic
01:56.17Stormkittykullervo, Bartender4 is fine if you know what you're doing
01:56.38kullervoStormkitty: I switched to dominos because it did things better
01:56.51StormkittyI haven't noticed any problems so far
01:56.55kullervonamely, wasn't broken as fuck after every patch
01:57.03kullervothis was during bartender 2 or 3
01:57.06StormkittyI've never had Bartender4 break
01:59.01kullervoand I still have direct spell binds on some characters
01:59.10kullervothings I haven't ever had to change, like dispel on my priest
01:59.19Stormkittyoh I do per character keybinds
01:59.39StormkittyI only use bartender on my priest
02:02.57kullervoI do per character too
02:03.28kullervobut if you use bartender on your priest
02:03.41kullervodoes it mean you use blizzard default bars on the rest?
02:03.43AGenericGamerok, i think this is my last question
02:03.50AGenericGamerwhats a good profession add-on?
02:04.08kullervodefault UI works just fine
02:04.29kullervountil you become really industrious
02:04.49AGenericGameroh om
02:04.50AGenericGamerok*
02:06.03kullervoAGenericGamer: btw the generic layout of my UI was made by someone on quakenet's #wow in 2007 or 2008, I've been updating and adjusting it since
02:06.27kullervomy screen estate has over quatrupled during the years
02:06.37AGenericGamerah
02:14.27AGenericGamerwell, if you ever get around to uploading it, tell me
02:16.02AGenericGameri havent found a ui i like yet and that one seems really nice
02:18.41AGenericGameroh, and i have quite possibly the noobiest question of all time.
02:19.06AGenericGamerwhat is rotation? ive seen it used a bunch but i havnt found an explanation that i understand

07:44.42AGenericGamerand if im not in WoD content yet does it even matter?
07:51.44tenterflexyes normal, if using obscure addons
07:51.55tenterflexyes matters, it's the version of the game they're incompatible with, not the content
