To Otlecs. I read your post about not posting stuff that would recieve the end all awnser of.....WOW WIKI!!!!! I am sure that these topics have been covered somewhere in this massive forum but after 3 hours I cant find the awnsers I am in search of. I have learned much from this site and others over the last year or so of actually learning more about wow. I have been 2 boxing for several months now pretty successful and have used the RAF. I have 2 monitors and can run one on each screen or just alt tab on main screen. I have a few questions anyways.
But First I gotta explain my name. So everyone knows the "saftey Dance" in Naxx.... Lets say I dont have that Achievment. So when my guild first got to naxx we failed horribly at this. I was always the first to die. And i mean everytime... worst thing is it seemed contagious. Noone would ever die befor me no matter how long I was able to live. So we did it one week and I got killed at the very last explosion of the last dance. And I swear all but one other dps died within 2 secs of me. We were discussing how much I fail, and I asked the only remaining dps "can't you fail like I do?" I am a huge music fan and have a very eclectic taste.... think Filter/Crystal Method "Trip Like I Do" except replace trip with fail. (I would love to have an actual clip of the song altered to say that so I could spam it in vent when I die LOL.
Ok anyways. As I said I run 2 monitors. On a single pretty good video card.... NOT great. ATI Radeon X1650 512MB. I dont remimber any of the clock speeds or anything. I think I originally payed like $160 or so for it. My comp runs XP Pro with a 3.2ghx P4, 4GB ram, 10k rpm hard drive, and really nice 500 watt PS. I built it. Temps never go up as it has an intake fan from case through PS and out the back, a top and rear exhaust and a really nice CPU heat sink/fan, and I keep one side of the case open. The dual monitor is relitively new. I notice that I get low FPS when I am running my 2nd monitor, regardless of whats on it. I can have nothing on it at all or a 2nd window of wow on it. Either way my FPS drops. When running 2 windows of wow, my latency stays good but FPS drops bad, still playable but down at about 20fps if not under. Makes the terrain chopy and can lead to the following toon slowly getting further and further behind. I have been thinking of investing in a 2nd inexpensive Video card to power the 2nd screen but my mother board only has 1 PCIexpress slot. I have a PCI slot I can use but I do not hear good things about it and my options for PCI cards are limited. I was thinking I could invest like $100 in a card for the 2nd screen and improve my fps at least on my main screen. Thoughts? Might it be better to try to overclock my existing GPU, or just invest in a better single card? My best case scinario budget could only be about $200.
On a 2nd note I often read about keyclone on the forums here. It seems like an awsome program but just not something I would need. I do not 5 box and i dont even 2 box that often. Mostly I put my wifes toon on follow when she is not around and I feel like leveling us. I read something today that changed my thinking about keyclone. Would it be worth getting to do nothing more than set up a very few macros like to make both toons mount, make 1 or the other mount, make my wifes druid target me or other party member and cast a heal with 1 designated key binding. These are things I thought of. Or even just 1 click to tell her toon to follow me. Thoughts/advice on this? Anything I am not seeing?
On the topic of keyclone I saw something interesting tonight on these forums.... whisper commands or casting?!?!? Not sure that it exists but it led me to think. Could I make keyclone do a funny little skit between 2 toons, "dance slave" "I dont wanna dance" "I said dance" */dance:"ahhh i cant stop....HELP" Just curious seems it would be fun to set up some crap like that.
I assume I could also set up a single binding to activate a cast sequence macro on her toon so that she could toss a heal then assist, cast 3 different instant casts then back to me for more heals, all by spamming one button. If someone could tell me some of the coolness I may be able to use it for I would be greatful. But I am a 85-90% mouse clicker, I have very little bound, a couple specific spells and thats all, but I could easily add some binds for things like mounting, ect. or add 1 or 2 buttons to spam for a cast sequence or a heal to happen from my wifes toon.
Lastly, an easy one. I have looked this up but cant figure out a reliable, legal (within TOS/EULA) way to make custom emotes, I have seen people with them, but most of what I have found have been add ons that were heavy or un realiable or something that required way to much effort. I figure there is a fairly simple way to do this and I am just not finding it.
So If I asked about something that is easily found via a google search just give me a link and I will figure it out. I do tend to fall into the "if it woulda been a snake it woulda bit me" crowd.
Thanks for any info and if anyone is on arygos(us) ally side and can show me some coolness they do with keyclone hit me up, yikez or failknight.
