Heh. Not too bad, although my eyes glazed over about halfway through the spec part. Having never played a priest, it didn't make much sense.

What race should I…
Undead.
Dwarf.
Period.
But I picked…
No. You were wrong. I wish this weren’t the case, but it is. There are not tradeoffs. You unknowingly picked the wrong race. This means racial trait questions, race questions, anything with the words “night elf”, should not be posted. Don’t ask me, ask the assweasels that coded racial traits/spells. If you feel the need to justify your poor choice, please do so here and get it allllll out, so the no more posts ever have to be mislead by your choices. Heh. |

Even after the restart, bad things were happening with instances - "Transfer aborted - could not create instance". The assweasels at Blizzard might end up making Wolfpack look credible.

You'd prefer a simple sb.exe to an in-game error message? Ah, the good old days. |

If only it were all that good. I get the CTD "Please tell us what you were doing" functional equivalents of sb.exe too. Most often their servers will not accept the bug report.
I have two wireless networks, and if I roam from one to the other (they are on different frequencies to deal with local radio pollution) the game will ask me on next reload if I want to reset my preferences. Picking either 'yes' or 'no will result in my preferences being wiped out. Blizzard told me that they had disabled the 'no' choice because you should always reset your preferences if your hardware changes. My hardware isn't fucking changing, and 1024x768 does not approximate to my widescreen LCD in any way.
If you aren't going to accept bug reports and you are always going to force the preferences state to be reset to default, kindly don't contribute to my RSI by making me click more than I need to.

Complaining about ninja lootersThis was made me chuckle. He complains about ninja looters, except he was the ninja. When I quit this game and i've long and forgetten about it, i'll still read that forum for my daily dose of fork in the eye.

About half the time I click on one of these links, it takes me to a forum page that is empty of posts. Does anybody know what causes this?

That's interesting cause it's doing the same thing for me also.
And yet it worked fine when I checked it before posting. Hmm...
Anyways I still had the post open, just refreshed and it's gone??
wtf....
added: seems the whole Raid forum went down, which is where that post came from

It's a chain reaction of Stupid that causes everything to become obliterated, and it happens on the WoW forums dozens of times daily.

WoW forums don't archive... if a thread gets pushed off the bottom it dies, and unless someone is bumping that puppy pretty hard, it doesn;t take long for a thread to hit bottom. EDIT: I didnt catch the original, but here is a cool post quoted in my realm's forum. |

Those forums are a complete waste of resources imo. That's one thing SOE did right: kill Whineplay. Why give a small subset of your users a place to officially bitch about the game they're playing anyway, and pay for it, to boot? Dumb.

I didn't exploit this, but even those who hadn't heard of it did.ORNATE SPYGLASS!
Ornate Spyglass once showed me a video of him making love to my wife! It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw!
Ornate Spyglass sweats Gatorade!
Did I ever tell you about the time Ornate Spyglass taught his son how to drive? Spyglass did it by entering him in the Indy 500. The kid wrecked and died. He said it would've happened sometime.
If I may shift gears for a moment gentleman, Ornate Spyglass vs. The Hurricane, who would win?
Spyglass! Spyglass!
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on. The name of the Hurricane is Hurricane Spyglass.

Ninjas are awesome. I also like people that have shortened "noob" into "nub." That's classy.

I didn't read the thread, so I don't have context, but I have a group of friends who have used "nub" since early UO Siege Perilous days. |

The raid leader a.k.a. master looter has exclusive access to the corpse, but he apparently moved and the loot window closed, opening the corpse to be looted by everyone else in the raid. T hat raid leader a.k.a. curse spammer gets my vote for hapless and comedic b00b victim of the year. |

Yeah, but it's the way that even the screenshots show the dialog :
"You're not going to loot are you?"
"They all said you were a looter, but I think you're fine"
"Remember, don't Loot !"
Monster Dies: Priest Loots
"OMG, WTF ?!"
"GG Newb"
I mean, it just looks setup. I don't wanna believe that there are actually players out there that stupid....
Especially after he gets his reputation, posts these things on the board and then STILL GETS GROUPS.

I can't read the whole thread to see if anybody explains it, but it works like this: heals are interrupts, just like attacks. Master looter 'loots the corpse' except that it just locks it to the ML for distribution. When ML releases the corpse, it becomes FFA. Ninja plays healer class and waits for ML to access corpse. Heals ML to create interrupt. Loots.
It's this simple - Master Looter only exists to grief idiots. It creates a false sense of security, and invites people to exploit its flaws. It has been reported, but its yet another bug Blizzard cant or wont fix. RULE 1: don't group with people you don't trust. RULE 2: there is no RULE 2.

I have trouble believeing that healing someone would actually count as an interupt on the person recieveing the heal...opening the corpes and then being tricked into moving to close it again, thereby breaking the Master Looter Lock i could see.
I mean, if healing counted as an interupt, couldnt any idiot with a stack of bandages achieve the same effect?

I never knew you could push someone off a corpse with a heal, but I have oticed healing someone can do weird things. I can't for the life of me remember what it was but I remember remarking to myself that I messed someone up when I healed them. And in the back of my mind is an impression that healing interrupts, so I can see it being possible. So annoying that I can't remember exactly why I have that impression. :/ |
