Rockem Sockem Robots
MMO Champion says we’re getting Patch 2.3.2 today, and that’s all win.
Boat and zeppelin vendors and NPCs are are back on duty. Slackers.
Reduced network latency by disabling the Nagle algorithm. Nagle, just say No.
/timetest is a command that can be run to provide information on game performance. /timetest 0 turns the command off. When the command is issued, the next time a player uses a flight master to travel, certain statistics will be measured and displayed at the end of that flight. All weather effects and spawns are shutdown during the test. Does it tell you if a hunter is a melee hunter or just leveling his melee skillz? That’s game performance, isn’t it?
A “Withdraw-Repair Only” button has been added to the guild bank controls. If this is set for a guild rank, then that rank cannot actually withdraw funds from the guild bank, but they can still use that daily amount of money for repairs. How about a Blows Up Thief’s Computer control?
Arcane Shot: Ranks 1-5 will once again deal bonus damage based on attack power. Moar leveling, cause Arcane Shot is our favorite.
Aspect of the Viper effect increased. (From 50% of total intellect to 55%). Every little bit help until our new shadow priest is surgically attached to us.
Freezing Trap is no longer limited to one target at a time. Amen and hallelujah, brothers and sisters! /dance!
Pet leveling speed has been increased. You’re preachin, baby, and we’re loyal and slavish followers! Now give us another stable slot, you conniving, heartless b@stards.
Increased the range of leatherworking drums to 40 yards. Drums of Panic remains unchanged at 8 yards. Drums of Battle just keep getting sweeter. It wins the award for Best Drum of 2007.
The Netherscale Ammo Pouch is no longer a Unique item. The Knothide Quiver is no longer unique. Just one more excuse to give the 99 Light Feather Quest to beggers. Have you macro’d your Quest reply yet?
/s Oh yee begger, hear my disdain. For thou art a foul and loathsome creature and must be cleansed! Bring me 99 Light Feathers, no more and no less, and thou shall be rewarded with the grand sum of 10 gold, and furthermore, your soul shall be redeemed. So Sayth BRK, so let it be done.
Ready check (/readycheck) will now display a visual display of each party/raid member’s status next to their name. This will display in the Party UI, the Raid UI and the Raid pullout UI. A player will get a check mark if they are ready, a question mark if they have not replied and a red X if they are not ready or are afk. Still relies on the raid member to actually click the f-ing button. Yes, we mean you.
Clockwork Rocket Bots will no longer attack each other in Shattrath City. But can we amass an armada of them, say in the hundreds, and have them attack a Fel Reaver we kite to the city?

Yes, yes you can
Double trapping is back baby! W00T! I have missed it so much, nothing was as funny (and expensive) as running heroic Slave Pens the day after they “fixed” double-trapping and cursing repeatedly at the screen as to why my first trap kept breaking and wiping the group…..
-Hoder and Ripper (Bladefist)
And how about what seems to me as the most important:
Fixed various problems with /castsequence getting stuck.
/cast will toggle spells again unless the name is prefixed with an exclamation mark, e.g. /castsequence Steady Shot, !Auto Shot.
thanks for your work and dedication to hunterdom
“/s Oh yee begger, hear my disdain. For thou art a foul and loathsome creature and must be cleansed! Bring me 99 Light Feathers, no more and no less, and thou shall be rewarded with the grand some of 10 gold, and furthermore, your soul shall be redeemed. So Sayth BRK, so let it be done.”
Will the next patch fix it so that we get a “grand sum of 10 gold”?
Okay I’m sorry… cus I can’t spell and I’m being hypo critical. BUT:
/does the caught a spelling error for the first time dance
Thank goodness I saved all those feathers.
And sweet sweet double trapping, how I missed thee. And faster pet leveling? And so much more!! And..and..*faints*
Having just switched from a bow I actually have one of those spiffy quivers taking up a bankslot. Now… where did I put my big ammo pouch. Oh yeah, I don’t have one! Knothide ammo pouch ftw it seems.
And btw, good news all round. And I have heard that the castsequence thing is actually fixed, but not mentioned (apparently a very minor issue).
I rolled a Hunter Alt on a PvP Server and despite the recent alleged increase, my Pig is still not leveling fast enough for my tastes. If Pets are going to be leveling even faster I welcome the change, but I propose an even better solution.
When at the same level as you, Pets should still continue to get XP right up until they’re about to level, and then not get any more XP until you ding. So you ding 30, kill one XP-giving Mob and your lvl 29 Pet dings 30 as well, just like freaking Warlocks…ok, so it’s still slower than Warlocks and their Minions who all level at the same freaking time, but it would be a hell of a lot better than what we have now.
Yes! One more stable slot please! Just one more! Please! Pretty please?
I have an idea, lets make the current ammo slot the place that the ammo pouches/arrow quivers are equipped (other mmo’s do this), that way we get our bag slot back (I even suggest the same for the warlock shard bags as shards to them are like shells to us). I currently have about 15 slots open at a given time with all the stuff I carry around (yes im a pack-rat). So Sayth the Glimli, so shall it be done. Oh yeah the a couple of stable slots would be nice to, and how about maybe a little bump to the stats of these great 24 slot pouches/quivers (one can ask cant they).
I came late into the art of trapping and I do not recall how it used to be. What exactly does, “Freezing Trap is no longer limited to one target at a time” mean? I can speculate, but would rather have a true definition.

YOU KNOW I CLICK THAT BUTTON.
Better to mis-click on a ready check in Gruul’s than to mis-click and run TOWARD the pull rather than away from it.
What I would like to see is pets level from gaining honor in BG…
I am glad they will level faster I was out killing frostsabers to make stuff to send back to my mage to d/e and ended up taming a level 60, I tried leveling him but it was taking so long I put him in stable…
There is also a level 60 boar in WPL I might try to get if the cat levels fast….

or to totally not watch where you’re going and run directly towards a group of gronn priests and lair brutes, right BRK??
Yes, i’m definitely going to enjoy the faster pet leveling. I have a lvl 60 Plagued Pig from EPL named “Scabs” i’d like to lvl, and a cat, as yet unnamed that i got 2 manning the instcance in STV.
Well… i say two manning, i really mean we snick in, trained me an all-black with prowl kitty, and ran back out
Hooray for the fixed trapping, and I agree completely with putting the ammo pouch where the ammo slot is. (crosses fingers for NEXT patch)
We ran backwards into the Gronn Priests and Lair Brutes, not directly at them. Any noob can run forward, it takes a special kind of flair and nooberism to do it backwards.
That’s what we bring to the party, that’s it right there.
I myself wiped the party at Gruul last night. Though it wasnt totally my fault. My mouse buttons got stuck on autorun…..then wouldn’t respond to turning. Nothin i did would stop the plunge into Gruul. I have never been so ashamed. I made sure I “walked” back an only went into the room when I was told to….then at snail speed.
[...] again. I mean, it wasn’t all that hard to get him back this time. Damn! We agree with BRK. We demand more room at the [...]
