Leave Britney... err Sam alone!!!!


Seriously. Learn from your mothers, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."


I'm sure that will come back on me

is it really that merry a christmas?

or is it more just a normal day where nothing you can ever do will ever be good enough? nothing is worth doing for anyone as all youll get is shit back in your face. no this xmas has been utter shite. people throwing fits for no reason, we now have 3 broken windows cause the foster brother broke up with his GF. cause she slept with his best mate. in front of him while he was plastering the inside of his nose with coke. yeah you get all the tacky shite presents as every other year, and everyone says merry christmas to each other with that air of " i wish i was doing something better today but its xmas so i am going to be nice"

dont get me wrong, i like it when the family comes round and we all get along, but xmas isnt that time ever. i'd rather be running heroics on my own than be downstairs smiling stupidly in mock joy and glee over a pair of socks. nothing wrong with socks tbh but why get those stupid frilly little wool things that shrink to 5 sizes to small every time you wash them?

all in all merry christmas? i couldnt give a toss about it tbh.

I don't think I have ever read anything happy from you... maybe it's time to see a shrink? Although maybe being british has something to do with it? ?(

nothing in your post helpful or nice said.. maybe you should have said nothing at all?

Actually in this thread I was hopeing for advise on which am2 motherboard chipset has the best memory bandwidth but that didnt happen.

Im not doing 26 cause prepared is doing 30 plus, like I showed I had plans for 26 before anyone had heard of Prepared.

http://www.fohguild.org/forums/retar...oxing-wow.html

Thats dated 7-29-08, does anyone have anything about Prepared prior to that date?

I did 24 in EQ so I do 26 here, why not?

I really really think its a bit of a stretch to extrapolate from the fact I died clearing trash 4 times and won on the 5th that Ill never be able to do anything in this game .... but nice try.

Well professions are in the game and a lot of players do them. I spend most of today so far on professions, going to gear up a crew of 5 shaman so I can take in 4 and my pally and once they are in green and blues see how that changes things .... Made some nice blue gloves and some neck that reduces mellee hits by 2, that not sound like a lot but I bet it adds up.

Also how many people aoe with Shaman at level 22 or so? ...

[Sam DeathWalker]

We been through the "don't do professions" and "do only quests" matters and there is little logic in going over them for the 100th time.

If you have nothing to say about building computers, and appaently you don't, in a thread about building computers then why do you post?


Anyway my motherboards are on the way and I hope to have 30fps in Org during prime time!

And yet with a mere 270 posts at FoH i have the 3rd Highest Reputation (internets) of ALL posters at FoH, thats like 3rd out of 100,000 or so ....

Ya there was problems with the first RAF, I dont dispute it. Nonetheless slow but sure wins the race.

good to see you're doing your research about Sam.
He is indeed currently failing at wow, big time. But he's trying.
And i think he doesn't give a frack about what people think about him, so you can keep on bashing him and look like an ass yourself, or ignore his threads :-)

I've changed my opinion on this whole sam-deathwalker-i'm-the-king thing, i'm now trying to offer real efficient advice in all his threads to try and get some results out of him.
After all, it would be awesome to see more action x 26 (or 36), and i guess that's what a community is for. Help.
Pity we don get more stuff from Prepared atm, but i guess he's busy finishing off his Raf and levelling.

Go go sam, you have a long way to go, but you're starting on instances so i'm pretty sure you'll start levelling up quicker from now on.

Unfortunately i have no idea how video cards/motherboards work so i'll stick to other threads.

Hey Sam,

Sucks that you have to buy new mobos. Did you look at / consider getting an i7 setup for all (5?) of your machines instead?

Cheers!

use the i7 like the first guy said im using it with a 5box imo i could have looket for a hell of alot longer and not have goten a better 1

All i can say is, why amd? had c2d really missed the boat vs amd by now?

[Sam DeathWalker]

I'v personally had good luck with AMD, and if you don't support amd then you might only have a single company to buy chips from in the future. But that being said you will not go wrong with the i7, which I am sure is surely better then what I have.

But i think for the price/performance mine is superior.

Not much difference in performance between these two but big difference in price .... Well 20 percent better performance for I7. the 920 I7 is $272 and the 6400 AMD is about $110

I used to be a hardcore AMD fan but current core2duo/quadcore is superior to AMD equivalents, and i7 blows them all away.

I doubt anyone else is going to go beyond 10 boxing (doesnt make much sense in WOTLK really) but if anyone else is, the best bang/buck setup atm is 2-4 PCs, each a quad core (q9550 or q6600 OCd, deps on your budget) and each running 3 copies of WoW -- in a month or so the nvidia 260+s or 280s are going to drop to CRAZY prices as the new cards come out too. imo a AMD setup like Sam's is not going to be fun when running more than 1 wow in Wintergrasp/Dalaran, but it doesn't really matter since by the time he gets there it will be deserted and fast FPS.

In 6-8 months the i7's are going to reach $$ levels where they will be the new multiboxers platform of choice, but right now the motherboards and DDR3 memory are x2-x3 pricier than quadcore alternatives, for just a 30-50% performance boost. if money is no object then of course the top of the line i7 + 24GB of memory + Vista64 + the new upcoming quadSLI Nvidia card + Intel SSD will run 5-10 WoWs at 60fps with full graphics cranked on.

I kind of view Sam as the George Costanza of MMOs, you pretty much wanna do the exact opposite of anything he does. Kind of makes me feel bad that he is using a pally tank and shamans though, it probably means ele shamans will not receive too much love beyond patch 3.08

Oh, two problems you are going to run into when 5 boxing 5 instances: (1) SFK is designed for level 13-21, beyond that the XP/hour is not great. Past level 25 its horrible, I think at 27 or so you will get 0 xp. Same issues with SM, you can zone in at 25, past 37 the XP is not that great. But 5 con-level characters will wipe a lot. (2) Most of the instances have runner mobs, it will screw up 5-5ing when each instance has mobs running in different ways and possibly aggroing new packs if not handled asap. I'm not concerned though, you killed the first trash pack in SFK after a lot of wipes so therefore you must have mastered it already.
