I’ve got the ghost saber 6 times now and I’ve had to pull; 18, 12, 5, 3, 37, and 1 statue. While I haven’t tried it since the patch I doubt they messed with his spawn it would be more likely they made him untamable then messed with his spawn.

I was screaming on my horde hunter on a PVP server at lvl 28 and having to pull 37 statues, it was a very stressful time LOL!

Boar holds aggro no different. My mana regen seems to not have changed. Maybe i have just not noticed but i can say I seem to have to drink juice the same. I have even tried to lay off using stings and what not and still seems just as slow as before.

On an offhand note….. it seems everytime I make a new toon, be it on the same server or another, I cannont do the same quests for during the patches they go from working to broken to working again…. etc. You would figure that they would understand the code well enough by now.

I have had some lag issues in major cities if it is too crowded, also. Some of it is due to the end user computer (that’s us) since I did an upgrade on my computer a while ago and had fewer problems afterward. Some of it is a crowding in the servers. I mean, if I hit Xroads durring a major battle, I lag badly.

Oddly enough, and I can’t speak for MAC’s here, but I bought a seperate video card for my PC and things worked out a lot better. It seems that the idea that Pentium floated about integrating video cards on PC’s has caused a bit of a problem when it comes to graphic developement.

BTW, I have a screen shot of a Quillboar shooting my Druid in Barrens. Now, the Quillboar is in Barrens- and I’m in DUSTWALLOW! It was durring one of the server crashes a little bit ago.

I briefly looked at (ie not full testing) my windserpent and ravager, and their opening combat was lightning bolt – melee – growl, or melee – growl – gore (after all the sprinting and diving, etc), kinda like they turned on auto attack then started doing their special things when they arrived at the mob. My windserpent also likes to move back to ranged more often now for lightning bolts, especially after an intimidate.

I have been around the game for a long time , not as long as many , but around two years of learning how to play against the bugged mobs , i now with my hunters check to see if the mob moves in the correct way before shooting at them , hehe nothing as funny as a level 70 running away from a mob because you cannot hurt them but they are beating on you even when you are out of sight ?? , i get so many weird things going on at times it is almost part of normal play , and yes i remember when i first started there was a tree in darkshore that growled so the buggy game is nothing new .

The biggest pain i get though is major towns , some give me so much lag when they get busy i get 3 fps , i even tried the video options game of trying to help the frame-rate but all i got was a lot less detail and went back to the standard settings so i am guessing it was not my macs 1 gb ram causing the problem but their servers getting overloaded as when it is quieter i get no problems at all.

and yes i agree with you the games parts now have grown so big it is time they rethought how they do it , but perhaps they already are working on that ? , Who knows as they tend not to say what they are up to in any real detail

I know that a few GM,s do visit here and i hope that some of what we talk about is a part of their plans for the future of the game , We can only live in hope…..

Give a lack of knowledge about how long you’ve been playing the game, I can’t comment if you remember it this way or not. However, I did notice back after the initial run of issues regarding TBC’s release, there were a lot fewer major bugs in the system. It dropped off for a while and then started to pick up again over this last year.

I suspect that we’ll see another server swap out before Wrath comes out where in the entire game on the server will have been rewritten.

However, I’ve been saying for a bit now that after Wrath Blizzard should just create the sequal and rewrite not only the game code, but the entire world again from top to bottom. I have several ideas on how to make this work, and to make the game a lot better to encorporate the three distinct aspects that the game encompases. It’s too bad that I doubt that the guys at Blizzard would listen to someone like me, and the suggestion forums are just full of people who’ll redicule everything under the sun.

LTT HUNTARD!

All major programs need a complete restart on coding once in a while as they get over-bloated lumbering fault ridden and impossible to improve without creating more faults , To me it seems that is what is happening now…..
