25 Putricide, holy ****. So much **** going on in that fight. After 13 wipes I finally got a hold of what the hell was going on.

Sadly, that was my first and only 25 man raid for awhile :(

Yay, the last two days of my life were spent worrying about my OCD coming back and thus not daring to leave the house (I will have to tomorrow, though, or this will turn into full-blown social phobia/agoraphobia again). Also had nightmares about going outside, failing exams that are already over and lua coding. I need to leave the house. I need to leave the house. I need to leave the house.

Being socially inadequate again all of a sudden is annoying. I mean, I'm good in social situations, I'm good with strangers as soon as a conversation starts but if I saw someone for the first time when I still had this problem, and hadn't yet talked to them, they might as well have been Hitler or something with the thoughts I used to have about them sometimes, and I couldn't just randomly talk to every stranger I meet. It's gotten much much better, I haven't had this problem in well over a year, so my sudden fear about it coming back is completely random and just plain annoying.

I'm also gonna try out Grid2 today because Grid's code doesn't allow me to modify it the way I want without completely rewriting the GridFrame.lua, and I can't find an e-mail address to contact the authors directly.

Kalivha, try alcohol. It makes everyone social. It may have a few "slight" side-effects though.

I don't want to turn up to college drunk, it affects my performance too much. Smiley: tongue
I have meds that are pretty much perfect for making my symptoms go away, but I avoid taking even those because of performance drops.

Well, my main medication also affects my liver's performance quite severely and there is a strong genetic predisposition for hepatitis in my family which means that on meds, every beer I drink (and also the ones I don't drink) might make my liver implode.

So... yeah... if I can't fix this factual non-issue in the next couple of days, I'm back on meds for the first time in ages but I hope to fix it with sheer willpower. That has worked for the past year or so, and worked really well.

Nothing nearby to target :P


What about that Savage Hill Scavenger you were Volleying to death?

I was volleying the snow :P
And basically this way you can see target castbar (top one) and focus castbar (bottom one) too.



That is one random UI, It makes no sense at all.
Also, HUUUUUUUUUGE block of buffs is painful and incredibly distracting.

Wait, you're using a pre-made UI? It'll be missing all the love you put into it. And even if people say mine looks lifeless, it's full of love like a self baked cake.


It's a UI, not a @#%^ing piece of pastry, god!

And ArkiveUI is the closest thing to MazzleUI which is no longer being maintained. I think Mazzle used to post here, or was it that guy/gal from Petopia? Meh, regardless, yes, I'm using a premade UI because I'm lazy as hell. I haven't run my own custom UI since '07 or something like that. Patch day used to be hell, but now I just don't update the addons and wait for Arkive to do it for me.

Plus, once downloaded and installed, it takes one reload in-game to set it all up (different setups for each class).

If you've got a couple of gigabytes of memory you don't need, I really recommend it.

Edit: Sorry for the cursing. Just watched 'Dogma' and 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno'. F-word just gets thrown out there without me even noticing.

Wtf do you mean by random? Everything is in neat order. Combat log on the right, chat on the left, buffs above chat (yes, I admit the buff block gets a little distracting in raid settings), IceHUD in the middle, target info below it and Broker or FuBar at the top.

While I'm normally very analytic and high on symmetry, I oddly enough don't care all too much about it in World of Warcrack. Not to a degree where I want everything in a triangle from the center of the screen, at least.

It does look a bit like it was supposed to look symmetrical but made by someone who doesn't know what symmetrical means.

Also, I agree on the buffs. Shorter bars do the job, too, and that is coming from someone who needs buffs to have bars since I used CTmod from the day I started playing.

It's mostly the self unit frame (what the hell is it doing there where you can't bloody see it?) and the gigantic stack of buffs that ruin the symmetry.
It just looks and feels as if everything is sort of randomly placed in/on top of the big black boxes of doom.

I had the best day since I stopped working in my best job so far* in 2007 today.

I don't care about video games, or sex, or social interactions, give me an environment for chemical research and I'm happy. <3

Nothing else could make me this happy, and I didn't realise I'd go to Soton today so it was sort of a surprise, too!


*Pay was zero, and it's still the best thing I ever did.

I got angry and yelled at people in a raid today.

I had to solo tank adds on Anub25 with 0 support from the numerous hunters/rogues in corralling the mobs.

Also everyone seemed to not have Omen so aggro was a crap shoot as I had to hold both with no focus firing.

A mookin pulled off me, I taunted. He kept nuking so the taunt didn't work as coupled with slowing effects on the mob he ran back to him before he was in range.

I yelled at him too.

When a hunter pulled aggro I went ******* in vent. No MDs + no FD = add burrows.

I yelled at everyone in the raid then.

******* stupid ******* morons that focus on personal DPS over the raid downing a boss for the win.

Aeth when did hunters shove a 2x4 up their collective asses?

Heroic mode?


If so, please talk to those hunter for me.
Tell them to stop sucking *** and being retards.
Same goes for the rogues.
If people aren't helping you with that they're just playing terrible.

I got shouted at once during anub 25 heroic.
The mob was halfway between it's spawning point and the raid and I hadn't misdirected yet.
Our RL was right and I was slacking, ever since my camera has been pointing mostly towards the add spawning point and there's always a finger hovering over my misdirect focus macro.






That said, we did have 4 rogues/hunters and all 4 assigned to a specific mob.

Sadly was reg.

I didn't want to run off the ice to get mobs as we didn't have the heals/DPS to handle multiple mobs burrows. Was a PuG.

Still I get angry at people that are being ******* stupid when doing easy things could make it 100 times easier.

If it was hard I would have been on Anub anyway.

Embrace your inner elitist.
Laugh at the scrubs who can't play.

It's not like it's your problem anyway, you can live without the few emblems because you're that skilled anyway.
And if they want to be idiots then you tell them in a calm voice that they're worthless players and go on your merry way.

However much I don't want to believe it, seeing her ramble on about squaric acid on MSN makes me believe that that statement is pretty much accurate.

Ramble on? Squaric acid is beautiful. BEAUTIFUL. Less than three.

Anyway.
Biology class is fun. We taught our teacher to say EPIC FAIL today, when he handed out the so-called Legendary Mitosis Game, my classmate complained that it wasn't actually legendary and then agreed with me when I remarked that it lacked the colour orange (Side note: I think it's funny how oranje = legendary).
Also, apparently my hawt paladin classmate wants me to teach her Dutch on Vent. Yeah, no idea how that is supposed to work. Apart from the fact that I see her pretty much every day in real life.
But I think I've got her nearly persuaded to play with us on Kazzak sometime soon, though, and introducing Aeth to cute girls can never hurt. :3

I tried to post from college in ICT because ICT is boring (making a spreadsheet with ages, gender, location and other random data of students is no fun), and according to my ICT teacher, the programming courses offered at our college all teach Visual Basic. VISUAL BASIC. The syllabus says something along the lines of "The colleges may choose between Pascal, C, C#, VB or XML" (there were a few more), which is a stupid idea, I think. I might still take the first year of that next year because at least I've never failed at VB before.

Edit: No, I am totally not abusing this thread as my diary. I fact, I wrote 5.5 A4 pages worth of diary shiz today already. On paper, with a pen.

Edit2: And I do care about video games and sex, just not when I have an experiment to do. I should try to do Arena while having sex while extracting random stuff out of random plants in the background. Or maybe just do Arena without sucking really badly, ever.

A Chef's Hat plus a New Tank makes for a challenging H HoR run.

New UI (about 2/3 done): <-- Buggy link... I hate wowstead sometimes... apologies if it doesn't work.

I'm still playing with the transparency, I've got my action bars down to like 70% opaque now. I think it'll be fine, I just need to get an addon to display a number for the remaining CD over the ability button(had one that did this but I lost it when I uninstalled my old bar addon for dominoes). I've got my cast bar displayed just over my head too (not showing up now).

Can anyone recommend a good add-on to make the map look better? I'm kinda tired of it, and brown borders don't go with stuff.

Question to anyone else who heals: do you even have Omen up anymore?



Edit: Oh and seriously Aethien, feel free to tell me to GTFO the hunter forums. I hate to think my comments are encouraging stupid to spawn there...

OmniCC does that, if I`m not mistaken.

I'm the only one left wondering what squaric acid is?

Keep imagining someone spilling a glass of square acid, making neat squared holes in the ground.

Use the same textures for all bars (Pitbull and Grid, mainly, from what I can see). Smiley: tongue

OmniCC does the cooldown timer.

Why is everything in different areas of the screen? And why have you got the ugly Grid background displayed?

Get SexyMap for the map, it has far too many useless features but it'll do what you want.


Edit: I don't know what it is with the one line paragraphs. Additionally, Mazra, this is squaric acid. Yes, the name is quite obvious. It has a few very interesting properties (like bond angles of ~90 degrees, kill me for finding that fascinating).

The left side is where I'm used to having my eyes at this point. So the bars are there. Anything that isn't keybound is right under Grid, which I want close to my feet for seeing when I'm standing in stuff. Other things are "out of the way," like on the other side of the screen. I'm trying to decide whether I want to redesign and hide stuff in combat, or just make it more transparent and not deal with it. *shrugs*

Kaliva wrote:

That is on the chopping block, along with trying to figure out if I can make the center icon (set to show raid debuffs) more transparent. Right now it can cover up the health bar too much for my liking.

I'll look into OmniCC and Sexymap. I've been planning on redoing my UI for ages, I'm finally just getting around to it. There are lotsa options, and learning is a slow process ;-)

Ya, it's pitbull, Grid and Dominoes mainly at this point.
