Uff, not really happy with this fast .)

It's gonna make clmibing super hard:P at least in world pvp :P unless they enable follow in bgs.P

[Moorea]

same p2 was too early but maybe BGs will make leveling in the world easier/relieve some pressure.

can I get you guys support/love for

For many people this is a welcome change.

P2 was too early but now that it is here and it has basically messed up multiple servers such that they need some kinda fix...

Pre-Launch I was mainly looking for BGs anyway so P2 was never my focus but frankly now that it is here it is much worse than I thought it would be. Since I am not an AoE class and on the smaller Faction it is a double whammy... For many the current WPVP meta just kinda sucks... No point in being a healer due to lag batching everything up and then people are just dead...

Personally I would have just done WSG and held AV for a bit and maybe keep AV's release tied to BWL.

on vanilla i think you can follow at bgs or im wrong? i think they remove follow only at retail on some xpac?

[Mercbeast]

Follow was disabled during beta in BGs.

We find out as far follow. It sucks P3 it's coming so fast BUT at least people will be grinding AV non stop where we can focus on some quests. It is pretty hard to quest during server busy hours. Ranking system is a bit easier in Classic than it was in Vanilla. Less grind I believe. People all ready reached rank 4. Which is nuts. Rank 2 gets you PVP Trinket, i suggest people get rank2 asap. Helps with gear as everyone knows.

I Agree about lag but that also will help the lag in the open, maybe that's why they decided to release p3 so fast to prevent that.

them its not like it was in vanilla;/ maybe they change this on live?
and at 120 lvl follow is broken also on open world pvp outside bg, on classic its not,maybe also on bg it will be on?

on this post everyone think follow will be blocked anywhere but it was not.

... It sucks P3 it's coming so fast ...I think technically this will be a P2.5 if they still call BWL P3.

Like how they called the release of DM P1.5 and kept the release of PVP rankings as P2...

At least that is how I am tracking in on the Phases tab (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j6tc7Bi0WNN_NbplgM1mbKcJkv89c4EhbYDN18vuYA4/edit#gid=1705191249) until we hear differently regarding BWL.

At this rate, we'll be in BC before I have my first team to 60. :P

At this rate, we'll be in BC before I have my first team to 60. :PYeah I wish they hadn't of released 2.0 as soon as they did but now that they did they needed to at least get WSG out to make the world better.

It may be that they can sit with WSG/AV for awhile and things be OK. We will just have to see.

People all ready reached rank 4. Which is nuts.

They made it later that up to rank 8 was easy, everyone could do it. After that is when the ranking/honor per week dictates who ranks up.

Incorrect, Rank 1-6 is exactly the same after the 1.8 changes except the fact lower levels were not penalized so harshly, all they did was increase the number of people who could be in ranks 6-14 at the same time.

Soc on the ISboxer Discord denoted that "Isboxer [will] maybe "break" tomorrow for classic, as a result of the exe being renamed(?) ... [and thus] most likely everyone will have to repoint their classic profile to the new executable name".

MooreaTV denoted on the ISboxer discord that "the channel API change is also likely to cause issues with dynamicboxer (should work using the whisper fallback used for retail crossrealm but I will probably need to make a patch and try gchat and yell instead/additionally)".

Yeah patch is out, had to point to WowClassic.exe in the config.

[Moorea]

thx nodoze! yeah I will probably make a dynamicboxer patch release soon after I am able to get in game and test (and at least report if it works out of the box despite the change)

The first version of DynamicBoxer classic that works again for 1.13.3 is out finally (sorry RL issues delayed it until now)

It's not perfect (some rough edges expected but seems to work with my initial testing, lmk if you find issue in the dbox thread or on discord or github/curse issues) but should unblock everyone.
