MASSIVE performance increase in WoW

[Ualaa]

Phase lines break follow.

Pretty much, since they were following, they're facing the same way.
So when Jamba spams me with the, "You're going too fast!" message (love custom messages)...

I push the Up Arrow key, which is slaves only - move forward.
And then a moment later, hit my follow key.

That's how I've been handling it, too. I'm really glad I implemented the arrow keys to move my slaves - makes EVERYTHING so much easier.

Hahaha good to see i'm not the only one who is using/enjoying custom messages. Mine was 'hey slow down you mofo' for a while. Which makes me curious as to what other players their customs are

Then, on another set of forums I frequent, I saw someone mention the following tweaks to the Config file:

SET timingMethod "2"
SET componentThread "3"
SET M2Faster "3"

Got a question here, not just to the OP, but to all that use this tweak. I run four accounts on my laptop listed in my sig with Keyclone and slaves systemlinked from the main's folder. Do I copy these three lines and put them only in my main's config file, or do it to all four? Also do I have to change the numbers any on any of them? My main and slaves all have everything turned off but the mouse hardware option. It slows everything down if it's off on everyone. Main has view distance up all the way and the option to see AoE spells cast on the ground, but everything else is off. Even turned off AA and VSync on everyone's too to help.

For the most part, those tweaks are intended to take advantage of high-end hardware so might not work so well on lower-power stuff. For example, when I made those tweaks on my old system (which was running a Core2Duo), it actually *hurt* the performance somewhat. I say try it out and see what happens.

You want to put them in the config file for each instance of wow you run, so the config folders for all of your characters.

As far as ICC, it seems at least for my guys that picking up the battle before the citidel quest or the other one with jousting will force them into the same instance in front of ICC for GY runs. I haven't died since I picked it up, but they are able to follow and see each other out front now for the first time since I raised up my last three shamans as long as that quest is in my log. There are still annoying phase break lines from dalaran to ICC but at least I can send two up to summon the rest now.

I might've overlooked it somehow, but isn't or shouldn't there be summoning stone in Dalaran for VH? I mean, there's one in SW and Org, why not Dal? Or are my eyes that bad and missed it?

Nope, probably the only WOTLK dungeon without one.
I assume it was done to prevent summoning toons that weren't high enough to get to Dal normally (even though you can warlock summon)

True, true, I took my lvl 30 warlock team to Dalaran through a mage portal and now use them to summon my alts. Takes a while to do it, but it's a free ride. Plus, my mages are not high enough yet to learn the portals. Still don't see why they haven't added one, all the other stones in the world may now allow lvl 80s to use them, but you still have to be the minimum lvl requirement to use, don't you?

Think the level requirement on summoning stones is only level 10.
