A Few Suggestions

[DrLove]

Oh and the HK cap is getting lifted soon.

fuuuuuck.

this gonna start another war?

Why would it? It's just a meaningless number. It would be nice to be able to use honor for to pay for s4.

tell that to FAK and ezatt

..the thing is that you aren't supposed to listen to what they say. It's still just a number. If I said it reflects my bank balance, would that make it anything other than a meaningless number?

(no)

@Cross-faction talking:

At this time it would be too difficult to make it to where you were not allowed to speak to the only faction, but could speak to other players outside the BG. It would require the server to keep certain lists of all the players in the BG and knowing who they are allowed to speak to, it would be a little difficult and isn't too high of a priority. So it's either that, or have it all disabled, or simply disable cross-chat /say, and /yell.

@Dragon mount: Thanks for bringing attention to this again. We're likely going to get rid of it. Though there is the argument that donors also have access to unlimited Noggenfogger which simply can give you slow fall as well. And as you can I see I released the new DNT mount that now goes 100%. I probably should have waited to release it, but went ahead and did so. I also could make the turtle go 100%.... That's actually a pretty good idea!

Edit: So because the spell is lacking the speed increase effect I don't know if this can work unless I figure out how to add effects to spells. Notice how the DNT one, for example, has the 2nd effect of Mod Speed Mounted? http://wotlk.openwow.com/spell=42929

@Poison duration: Let me know if you can figure it out because the structures must be very different from the Wrath ones that they're talking about. So I see where the IDs in SpellDuration.dbc define times in milliseconds like for 1 hour, but when I look for that ID under the spell for each poison... I don't see it. Maybe I am missing something. It would be better to have a C++ way to do this though which is possible in SpellMgr.cpp but I don't know much about spell modification. Exsurgo did though.

@Hyjal: Hyjal is coming back in the future. We're slightly revamping so it cannot be graveyard camped, which, yes, means HKs will be enabled there again. Oh and the HK cap is getting lifted soon.

@Outland, good idea but I don't have a list with every Outland quest readily available. Additionally, I'm sure a lot are broken here and there.

@Multi-language: This would require someone, or many people, rather to translate all of our stuff... it would take a long time and be difficult to find. I thought about it once, honestly. Having our GMs translate for the Spanish, German, French clients, etc. But then I just realized it's an English server anyway and promoting the other languages may make it difficult when they expect us to speak their language and we cannot prove a GM with their language, for example.

Cross-faction Talking
Disabling /say and /yell sounds like a good idea . If someone has problems or gets whisper they can always /ignore the person. So i agree with you ,that will work.


Dragon Mount
So about the Chromatic Mount. I saw the new test mount and it looks awesome. Speaking of the turtle mount having it's speed set to 100% . Why not replace the Chromatic Mount with the turtle itself. I mean , you get it for free ,but non donor players also have access to it if they want to. It's kind of like a mini reward since donors already get one special mount - the test mount. The turtle can represent you Henhouse and Smolderforge. So it's like a small additional present for donors.


Poision and BuffDuration
I'll look into it and see if i can do something but i can't say when. It's not a big issue and it can wait ,but i'll really try doing something about it and test it before i send it to you if i happen to make any progress with it.


Hyjal coming back
Good to hear that ,would love if they change every week or weekend. For example Azshara from Monday - Thursday and then Hyjal from Friday to Sunday and vice versa. Or a rotation for every day ,but i think that would ruin the fun a little bit since players will just start getting used to the zone and it will disappear the next day.



Outland
I know that plenty of the quests might not work at all ,but if you ever consider doing it in the future ,it will be a nice way for players to report broken quests too. You might not be able to fix them right away due to more important things ,but at least you'll have a list for the future . Besides there's so many quests if each gave some kind of a Badge Of Justice reward i'm sure there shouldn't be any people complaining since there will be enough quests working too.



Multi-language
I agree about Smolderforge being an English speaking server ,although many players are already into Nation / Country type guilds and most of them speak their own language when they're chilling in Tanaris - for example: german,turkish,polish,czech,bulgarian,serbian etc. About the translation of every type of locales file , i think they''re already uploaded somewhere . I've seen the russian and german translation SQL files ... they were for 3.3.5a ,but i'm sure there's for 2.4.3 too. Anyway,you're right, Smolderforge is an English speaking server. Hopefully when it builds a new community more players would actually consider speaking / wiriting in it ingame.


Noggenfogger Elixir
I don't remember who mentioned that Noggenfogger Elixir already gives you slow fall which can be used as an advantage (talking about donors who receive it for free ) . Why not disable the slow fall buff and the shrinking one too ? Just leave the skeleton transformation one. I mean ,that's why people use it anyway. The rest is just pointless. If someone wants slow fall they can just get a parachute from engineering or use their own spells or get buffed etc. The shrinking buff from Noggenfogger Elixir is just annoying. Specially when a whole ''premade '' guild uses it to camp other playres instead of actually doing the battleground objectives as it should be....

[Mynce]

Whats wrong with noggen ? i mean sure it can be annoying with the shrink but i think it should stay as it is

[Imperium]

Anyone can access Noggen, donors just have a closer vendor.

Exactly, and on retail it was like 15 silver for 5 I think? That's super cheap, not that gold is of any value on here. I am just saying, you can do the quest line and stock up on any character. Retail included.

I wasn't talking about the access , i was talking about the buffs. Besides the skeleton one which players use for fun ,the rest give an advantage . Someone already made a thread like that .

[Pyrendora]

What's wrong with having an advantage? People keep complaining about "unfair advantages" but the game was created this way. In the same way, engineers have a cloak to slow their fall and anyone can use elixirs to enhance performance, it's sort of like saying Gnomes have an advantage because they're smaller, let's remove Gnomes as a race... or Taurens have 5% more HP therefore they have an unfair advantage... It's simply absurd. The game is meant to be unbalanced, you're suppose to seek out a balance, stop trying to dumb the game down further.

[Mynce]

make the turtle go 100%.... That's actually a pretty good idea!
