    Curse Client 2.0.0.6 ...wtf is my Username/Password suppose to be?

    Have to register on Curse's site to use that -- worth it though! Love having everything auto-added and updates :)

    BTW: did you figure out your bag bug yet?

    Sort of. That one character's bag is corrupted but only when I play from my PC. Load him up on a different PC and everything is fine. I've been trying to figure out which file I need to delete and get repatched, or whatever, to fix it but have had no luck so far. I am full of sadness.

    Silly question but have you filed a petition yet in game?

    The trophy system is neat. I wonder how long it will take Blizzard to steal it.

    [Delicious UI trick]

    Want to have your entire action button, instead of just the hotkey text, be tinted red when you have an invalid target for that action? Don't want to use an addon for it? Try this:

    /script local orig = ActionButton.UpdateEnabledState; ActionButton.UpdateEnabledState = function(self, enabled, valid) orig(self, enabled, valid); if (valid == false and enabled == true) then self.m_Windows[0]:SetTintColor(200, 0, 0); end end

    You have to run it once every time you log in, but you could just put it in a macro. Adjust the "200, 0, 0" to get different RGB colors. There is an addon available to do this, but the way it's written is just asking to be either be broken by a patch or break some other addon that also works with action buttons. Plus you'd have to edit the Lua file to change the colors.

    Yes, they haven't been able to help at all.

    The second one and I determined that this is related to sorting options in my backpack because when I log in from another PC I do not have any sorting options selected. So obviously it is a file on my PC that some how got corrupted when I decided to make my bags sort stuff for me.

    KiTA: It started three nights ago now, wish I would have thought of that then. I'll take a look but nothing showed up as the character name except chat logs.

    The upside is uninstalling and reinstalling should work AND GameStop called today saying WAR would be instores Wed afternoon so I guess I'll go pick up my copy and install it. That should fix my problem.

    So I was playing wow but they went like 100 days without a patch, and I played AOC and...well it was AOC, and I beta tested WAR europe and it was pretty crappy.

    After playing for a few hours with friends in retail, it brought a single tear to my wretched cynicism wracked face.

    Good show mythic, A++ will play again.... very soon.... ... okay right now

    I don't have as much time as I once did, but I'm going to write a few.

    Also, for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, be sure to grab this if you're in a large guild and are experiencing video lag.

    There are seperate newbie zones but he can go straight to his warcamp and fly to your tier one warcamp, and walk back.

    I'd only ever heard about bright wizards, but I finally met my first one today. I was healing in that greenskin ch3 PQ the something gap, and I suddenly exploded. Goddamn.

    I must have met them in scenarios before that, but that was the first time I'd been proper nuked by one.

    To the Mouths in Nordenwatch tonight. Good fucking show, gents.

    One embarrassing loss of an all-Mouth group, and then you showed it was possible to win a scenario against a pack of Bright Wizards, Ironbreakers, and Rune Priests with nothing but tanks and healers.

    I'm also excited to find that the game is built so that different groups can use different tactics to great effect. Defending the fort for half the game with no DPS - quite possible.

    I have to say I really like the way the server was looking tonight as far as balance. The tiny queues will be gone soon. 5 min scenario queues in GVD, instant-5 min queues in EVC for Destro. Slowed down a little after midnight PST. Saw both sides lock the T1 zone in EVC, and saw Order lock GVD. (Destro was getting close to locking Order right back before I quit). Was batting maybe .600 in PUG groups, which is infinitely better than I've ever seen destro PUGs play. Had that one bad loss and otherwise the guild was rolling. At the same time, Order also has way more talent than I saw in OB.

    One general thought, because nobody could hear me on vent (found out later it crashed): our lower-level groups have a lot of tanks and healers and Order groups, especially in EVC, have very few. Clusters of squishies really, really do not like it when multiple tanks charge them at the same time. If the numbers are close, get in close on them and trust your healers. We'll keep you up if you spread out the damage to more than one target. They're going to do the same damage whether they're right next to you or pewpewing you from the bridge. If there's no push, your healers often get focus-nuked.

    Well, you had a *little* bit of DPS help with my Witch Elf. I didn't manage to kill a lot but I managed to make one BW run off a cliff, and harassed this one Archmage the entire game. I like to think harassing them and making them run back had some effect, though I may be wrong.

    I found me an Addon that will switch my main Action Bar, based on my current plan as a Black Orc.
    Havn't tried it yet. But if it works like I imagine it will, then its going to be really handy.

    it works for sword masters too i think: Its called PlanB, got it off curse.com

    So I had a blast rolling with a six mouth group tonight. Especially when we had two groups in a couple scenarios as Morsk already mentioned. I did feel kinda like a dick telling people what to do tho. Deth and dedspaz along with nissok made for a pretty good group while the rest of the spots changed alot.

    Bah. Wake up from my nap and the servers are down. Time for another nap.

    I'm in love with Ulthuan after last night. T2 scenarios were popping a lot, even Phoenix Gates in HEvDE which is usually the most rare scenario, and we saw some good action at the keeps.

    To anyone that hasn't started yet. Roll a healer. We can never have enough healers. On paper, we have a lot. In practice, we need more. Before I went to bed, we had more than a warband full of people, but only 5 or so healers. In RvR, the best group makeup is probably 2 tanks (or 1 tank and 1 melee healer), 2 DPS, and 2 healers.

    I shoplifted them from two different local stores. I was a bit of a hooligan, but a very nerdy one.

    Not sure whatever happened to them, I must have thrown them away at some point.

    Must have CE box! .... but all day work meeting is interfering :( .

    Sorry that I missed out on the fun last night, sick fiance was over at the house so I was busy taking care of her.

    Tonight shall be a marathon of stuntie stomping! ;)

    It's probably a good thing the servers are down now, as I've got an hour before I need to head out. Which means if I logged in, I'd probably play for at least 2 hours.

    Normally there's someone watching the TSM channel that lets us folks know in guild to invite someone, though it can get a bit hectic when we have 100 people on like was happening last night. If you see me ingame, toss me a whisper (same name as forum account) as I can grab you into da guild.

    Tomorrow i'll be joining the candymancers. I'm planning on rolling an archmage main, white lion alt, and then possibly a shaman on destro although I haven't gotten that far yet. I can't wait to see what it's going to be like to heal with an archmage. I would imagine similar to druid but that's all i know.
