  1. Hmm. Well, I'll stay with CT for some time until I see some automatic tools for using the new channels. /rw is cool, but you still having to write things by hand, not very produtive.

    And the new CT version sure will have support to the new interface.

    As I said before, Blizzard's Interface sucks, so they get what they like on the addons world to fix :p

    EDIT: And, anyway, the MT windows, Raidstatus, all the nice thingies that make our raid go fast, are not yet present :)

  2. Rather like the high percentage of nurses who are chain smokers :p

    I just love Fomor's new nickname tho! Fumar!

    I'm not sure if that was not the first intention, but "Fumar" is "to smoke" in portuguese ( in the very sense of smoking tobbaco) :)

  3. http://wow.tentonhammer.com/index.php?modu...isplay&ceid=182

    Some strats from ten ton hammer. Nice info is that stun works as well as sheep, so we may be able to take less guards on the same time.

    This one uses a different approach that I don't know if we have the patience to do it :p

    Involves stop damaging one of the elites when it hits 10% and god knows that stoping DPS is nearly impossible with out trigger happy squad :p

    But it shows where mobs should be, and that was a little helpful to me ("Tank him in the middle", "What middle?", :D ).

    The videos on the internet are messy. The better I found was one saying "how to play a rogue on the Majordomo encounter" and was about showing how many crits the guy did. Not helpful at all.

    But I think that if we get yesterday's pace from wednesday we will end with plenty of time to try and try again on the friday run. We may spend sometime wiping but well, it's a hard fight and after Domo, Ragnaros! We're almost there. Must work on more FR.

    BTW, it was a very good raid last night. Plenty of drops, penty of healing, plenty dps... it was very very nice to end the raid with only 1 death (not counting the majordomo wipes :) )).

  4. I am really stoked by the fact that after checking Thottbot, all of the Prophecy pieces drop of of bosses we killed this week! Wooohoo, I have hope!

    The first 3 or 4 bosses of MC are priest/warrior heavy. It's Blizzard helping the tanks and healers so the raid can stay alive :p

  5. So, me and scryll got a friend and asked Moggaro to run us very quickly on SFK. Plenty of caster stuff. Feline Mantle dropped and Everybody passed, I tought that Scryll passed becase he has it already, so I needed tha mantle :\

    After that, he lose on the roll to get Arugal Robe.

    So I'm making this public annoucement that I'll run Scryll's alt on SFK to let him pick all the cool stuff there :)

    I tried to login after that but I'm stuck on the "Retrieving Characters" screen.

    And to Pinotl, I do not forgot our bet so I'll mail the prize to you as soon as I get online.

    Now I'll go to bed.

  6. As I am with no much time avaiable, I'm putting here the inspiring music for my new alt :)

    Unfortunately, Loretta was taken :\

    The Curse of Millhaven

    (Nick Cave)

    I live in a town called Millhaven

    And it's small and it's mean and it's cold

    But if you come around just as the sun goes down

    You can watch the whole town turn to gold

    It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming

    Singing La la la la La la la lie

    All God's children they all gotta die

    My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie

    I'm closing in on my fifteenth year

    And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green

    Then you sure didn't see them around here

    My hair is yellow and I'm always a-combing

    La la la la La la la lie

    Mama often told me we all got to die

    You must have heard about The Curse Of Millhaven

    How last Christmas Bill Blake's little boy didn't come home

    They found him next week in One Mile Creek

    His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones

    Well, just imagine all the wailing and moaning

    La la la la La la la lie

    Even little Billy Blake's boy, he had to die

    Then Professor O'Rye from Millhaven High

    Found nailed to his door his prize-winning terrier

    Then next day the old fool brought little Biko to school

    And we all had to watch as he buried her

    His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing

    La la la la La la la lie

    Even God's little creatures, they have to die

    Our little town fell into a state of shock

    A lot of people were saying things that made little sense

    Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe

    Was found in the fountain of the Mayor's residence

    Foul play can really get a small town going

    La la la la La la la lie

    Even God's children all have to die

    Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs Colgate

    Was stabbed but the job was not complete

    The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead

    Was, "My killer is Loretta and she lives across the

    street!"

    Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning

    La la la la La la la lie

    The young ones, the old ones, they all gotta die

    Yes, it is I, Lottie. The Curse Of Millhaven

    I've struck horror in the heart of this town

    Like my eyes ain't green and my hair ain't yellow

    It's more like the other way around

    I gotta pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming

    La la la la La la la lie

    Sooner or later we all gotta die

    Since I was no bigger than a weavil they've been saying I was

    evil

    That if "bad" was a boot that I'd fit it

    That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard

    lately

    O ###### it! I'm a monster! I admit it!

    It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going

    La la la la La la la lie

    Mama always told me that we all gotta die

    Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I

    admit

    Did the handyman with his circular saw in his garden shed

    But I never crucified little Biko, that was two junior high

    school psychos

    Stinky Bohoon and his friend with the pumpkin-sized head

    I'll sing to the lot, now you got me going

    La la la la La la la lie

    All God's children have all gotta die

    There were all the others, all our sisters and brothers

    You assumed were accidents, best forgotten

    Recall the children who broke through the ice on Lake

    Tahoo?

    Everyone assumed the "Warning" signs had followed them to the

    bottom

    Well, they're underneath the house where I do quite a bit of

    stowing

    La la la la La la la lie

    Even twenty little children, they had to die

    And the fire of '91 that razed the Bella Vista slum

    There was the biggest ######-fight this country's ever seen

    Insurance companies ruined, land lords getting sued

    All cause of wee girl with a can of gasoline

    Those flames really roared when the wind started blowing

    La la la la La la la lie

    Rich man, poor man, all got to die

    Well I confessed to all these crimes and they put me on

    trial

    I was laughing when they took me away

    Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah

    It ain't home, but you know, it's ###### better than jail

    It ain't such bad old place to have a home in

    La la la la La la la lie

    All God's children they all gotta die

    Now I got shrinks that will not rest with their endless

    Rorschach tests

    I keep telling them they're out to get me

    They ask me if I feel remorse and I answer, "Why of course!

    There is so much more I could have done if they'd let me!"

    So it's Rorschach and Prozac and everything is groovy

    Singing La la la la La la la lie

    All God's children they all have to die

    La la la la La la la lie

    I'm happy as a lark and everything is fine

    Singing La la la la La la la lie

    Yeah, everything is groovy and everything is fine

    Singing La la la la La la la lie

    All God's children they gotta die

  7. LFM MC need priest.

    I agree, there's no difference on the damage, only on the healing :p The times when we got golemagg (and the Harbinger) down we had plenty of healing on the MT and the OT, overhealing to be true, because we don't even used fancy strategies (separating the priests, MT/Healer rotation).

    But we will work on getting more priests.

  8. (Blizzard actually encourages the use and development of add-ons...I didn't believe it myself until I looked at their add-on related forums and documentation).

    It's because they know what a crappy default UI the game has. On a forum thread one of the developers said something like "of course we wanted our interface to be as spiffy and custmizable as Discord Mods do, or have all the functions that Titan Bar provides, or even a Raid interface like CT_Raid, but we know that our target are a wide range of machines and types of players that may not be able to deal with complex configurations or heavy interfaces, so we provide the addons as a form to the players that want to customize that".

  9. I don't want my game easier.

    Tanking in 40 man raid is madness. Every mob that loses control can wipe a whole group. Using CT_Raid (or that other one, compatible and similar) is the only way to coordinate it. Think in it as a tool to make Maube's, healers, tanks and everybody else gaming a good experience.

    Even being a great attitude wanting to "get the hard version of the game", it doesn't help the team. We could use another great tank, but there's no point in tanking without CT_Raid. The time you will spend trying to find the target, or noticing that you lost aggro, or one of the dozens bad things that can happen will surely have a bad impact on the raid.

    Get CT_Raid, use it on the Raids and disable it after. It's for the teamwork, not for you. Tanking is about giving time to the squishies do their jobs and keeping everybody alive :p

  10. I LIKE being a tank. :p

    Well, me too, but most people think that low dps = suffering. And I really have not noticed your protection spec, but the only thing we did together was RFC and you was dual wielding. In my head, you're fury. Nice to know you has been protection from the start. Painful leveling.

    One thing though, was reading the MC rules thing, and notice it listed CTraid as a requirement. Call me stupid or stubborn, but I refuse to use third party programs. If the unbendable rule is that you MUST have CTraid to do molten core, then I regretfully will not be doing molten core.

    CT_Raid is not a 3rd part program, is an addon. The difference is, addons don't break any rules from Blizzard, in fact, CT_Raid team work very closely to the Blizzard team and much of the default Raid interface from WoW is based on ideas from the CT team.

    Addons are different from 3rd party program because they don't break the rules. CT_Raid is just a way to organize windows, healthbars and showing text, nothing is automatic or macro'ed because the Blizzard programming language doesn't permit that kind of thing. Basically, addons are customizations on the User Interface, they don't do anything by itself or automagically.

    Please, get CT_Raid and come with us. Relikk, Alhazad and me are the only prot speced (as far as I remember) and it's better that the other warriors stay on their current builds. And, c'mon, tanking in the core is fun.

  11. C'mon Fomor, you can do it!! Since I have to take my kid to a party you can have my spot and my gloves!! What a night for you! Besides, we can always use more priests, we are afterall the most important class in the game........ :p , well except for our meat shields. Anyway, give it a shot and good luck to all of you tonight.

    Fomor helped me on the Emissary in Silithus last night too and he went very well for a newly-60 no-epic priest. Stop whining, signup and join us on the core. If needed, we can do the attunment on the evening.

    And Cwn would sure be a nice DPS. Unless she wants to respec to protection :dancing_smile: but I think that nobody deserves that kind of suffering...

  12. I have the same thing happening too green, once in a while the whole screen goes black for less than a second, almost unnoticable but there. Im using an AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Palermo 1600MHz HT 256KB L2 Cache Socket 754, and an Nvidia 6000 something series (forget the GPU atm). But I dont get the telltale monitor clunk like when youre changing modes.

    Well, the problem is, o'course, you using Nvidia :)

    Religious fights apart, I've been able to fix the problem. I installed an old driver from ATi and set the voltage on the PCI-X to a little bit higher than the default (I can change the voltage from the bios setup). I don't know exactly wich one fixed the stuff, but it's fixed. :yub:

  13. And um... lets just say I am living up to the Blonde hair color. I apparently lost my keys. in the rush to get to the airport I dropped my keys somewhere and now are in the process of trying to regain them. If they arent at the airport, then well, we are screwed =p

    "So, Door, this is my Foot. Now you know each other, get intimate".

    Serious. kicking the door always opened me a lot of options in life... :yub:

    I'm happy to see you back.

  14. So. I got some new pieces for my machine and upgraded it a bit. Processor is now a Intel P4 3Ghz, on an ASUS P5GPL-X motherboard and topping all that is a Powercolor ATi X800GTO-16 video card.

    Installed a new XP, latest drivers and stuff and now I'm hitting the most strange of the problems, after some minutes playing WoW it starts to resync my monitor, like when you apply some of the options. So, I'm running thru barrens and the screen goes all black, I hear the characteristic "cleck" and it comes back. Sometimes, it resyncs the screen like 4 consecutive times (what scares the hell of me).

    Anyone has ever saw this problem or read or heard something like?

    I discovered that playing in Windowed mode/Maximized prevents it from happening.

  15. Heck, I am so old, I remember seeing one of the original ads for Magic. I thought, hmmm, that is interesting. Now look how much Garfield is worth:)

    I used to be a championship judge for MtG. Never played very well, I lack the concentration, but I was a very good rule advocate and cold reader >:L

    And about worth, Wizards used to print his own money: just create a rare card and voilá, you printed a hundred bucks. Now, with MtG Online, they don't even need to print all money they get. A friend of mine (that continued in the MtG scene after I left) pays all his bills with money from the Online game, and he is married and with children in good schools... :dancing_smile:
