Are you implying that spending more time on interface setup is good? :PQuote:

Why are you doing it the difficult way again?Quote:
Today I spend over 6 hours resetting all my UI (to the 4:3 resolutions on all computers), moving bars around, rewriting keyclone.ini and cloning the WTF folder 4 or 5 times X 26 lol ... Normally I would just copy the Macro files over but I did a full redo today and thats a real mess. Clicking the sound off 25 times.. Loading Pitbull and Dominos and the combat report thing profiles 25 times ... Using a new bag add on which looks nice.
You shouldn't be spending so many hours on all this configuration. Why don't you spend some money on a NAS(Network Attached Storage) server and install WoW 1 time on this NAS. Then all clients load via a gigabit network connection from the shared NAS.
Then you can use a scripting language (or just a batch file like I do) to copy the account settings(lua files etc.) from 1 root account (that you decided) in the WTF folder to all the other WTF account folders.
Stuff like clicking the sound off is not a problem as those settings would be shared if you would go with the NAS setup.
This:
- Saves you a lot of time configuring addon settings
- Saves you a lot of time configuring WoW clients
- Saves you a lot of loading time(but that depends on your NAS speed of course)
- Makes it easy to backup all your clients at once
- Costs a bit, because you need a separate computer with a decent NAS (raid?) solution.... but any desktop PC with a decent network card, a gigabit switch and a good RAID setup(not that onboard motherboard sh*t) should do the trick.
The cool thing about the NAS is that you can attach *any* PC to run 1 or more clients from it... so if one of your machines break down, it is very easy to load some of those clients on the other machines (if their hardware can take it) without any additional installation required.
EQ is not WoW :)Quote:
Just look at my EQ guys and imagine how long it took to get to their level AND their AA, and how many mobs I'v killed to do it. WoW won't take me 1/10th the time. Man if I had full auto follow in EQ like I have here ... and a class that can heal and do dps and rez .... lol.
And in AOK I killed the equivilent of 100,000 French Horse Knights (we figured it out once)... I'm not called DeathWalker fur nothing!
Well back to Tranquillity in Ghostlands to do the level 12 quests in the guide. Oh and I just got concecration (level 20) on my Pal ... woot thats gonna cut down on some deaths.
People are curious to see if what your ego claims is true, and go away thusly disappointedQuote:

The thing is, there is something weirdly addictive about this thread.. people can't stop watching. Not because amazing things have been achieved, more because of the weirdness/facepalm effect.
A bit like watching someone eating dog poo. It's disgusting, but we can't keep staring.
ZUB IS CLIMBING THE HIMALAYAS IN HIS UNDIES.
Starting in December. Have already removed one sock.
- AMAZING UPDATE! i should be removing the second sock mid-october if all goes well
LOL Zub...
Well my reply to this thread got eaten by the traffic problems yesterday. Good luck to you Sam but I just don't see how it will be very enjoyable. There's so much to WoW other than just brute force killing stuff and not sure if you'll ever see it in that mode. Plus it takes a lot to just keep my 5 shaman stocked up with consumables, reagents, repaired, all that stuff, any more and it would just be irritating to me.

I do have batch program to copy files from one computer to the other 5. Unfortunatly I have 5 accounts on each of the other 5 ... Also just cloning the wtf folder still dosnt work if you have add ons, some key bindings and add on settings are not stored there. Also if you dont have the same screen resolutions layouts dont just simply scale if you set say plus 100 for a buff bar position and you just copy the files over to a screen that is smaller resolution it still uses the 100 offset and not a downscalled offset. I supposed I could have 26 account directories in the main computer and clone one account to the other 25 and then run out all 25 to each of the 5 computers.
Do you have a link to what is stored where. Are you saying that if you copy all the lau files in the entire WoW directory that you would then get all layout information for all add ons also? Where is the settings that you set on the blizzard "interface" menus located, like auto loot and help files and all that you set.
I clone my hard drives with acronics so I dont have OS problems anymore, get a few blue screens and just replace the whole drive.

Roll a class that is actualyl OP with 40 of them (Mages).
Roll 40 of them.
Don't talk about them until they are 70
Do something interesting other then just throwing money at a problem.
Actually learn the game you are trying to play before proclaiming any bit of supuriority.
40 Mages would be overkill. Plus squishy. I would do something like 8 shammys and 32 warlocks.
Massive AoE and healing. Toss in some priests if you really want.. but that would also come with 32 pets. That is a LOT of counterspells!
Heck, just sit around with your pets out and let the pets one shot people.
Honestly groups of 4 mages and a priest specced CoH would be good.
CoH through the dmg (which hits all raid targets now), and then if someone gets within aoe range, one arcane explosion will be around 30k dmg.
Then have each group have a targeting macro that targets a section of the alphabet, like group 1 targets a-g (/tar a /tar b /tar c). That way you never have all 35 dps targeting one target.
