Re: A Chinese Mage in US Realm: Self-Intro and Questions
Thank you very much for your long, sincere and detailed discussion. Your welcome. From what I have been told, one of the express purposes of this forum is to transcend regional boundaries for the Mage class. To this effect, definitely get your other Chinese mage friends to come on over and join in ...

Re: A Chinese Mage in US Realm: Self-Intro and Questions
mage players in China tend to be statistically more... arrogant. You might have heard of the scandal a few weeks back: 19 mages attempted Heroic SoO together, one of them ninja'ed a +Str ring, and the rest of them showed rudeness and indifference when the warrior tank protested to reclaim this piec...

Re: A compendium
Talking about dataz and compendiums. Whoever will take charge of this compendium should probably add this post somewhere: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/13087818929?page=1#16" target="_blank While most of the hit or miss stuff may end up not applying too much, it will help in the immediate ...

Re: The E3 thread
Oh come on mang, don't try to say you aren't even a little excited for the remastered Grim Fandango? :P For the first time (in a while it seems), I am super excited about the upcoming gaming season. Some pretty epic games on the horizon if you ask me. I know for a fact that my life will probably cea...

Re: A compendium
I want people to be able to enter 'ignite' and get all relevant pages. At least, I want them able to easily find them through clicking max 3 deep, rather than reading an entire topic. It sounds like you need a librarian. We have pretty much the exact thing on our guild forums. Basically a wiki with...

Re: A compendium
I want practical solutions. A (imho) potential practical solution could be to leverage already existing infrastructure, such as the existing wikis out there. Wowpedia or Wowwiki, whichever one, already has class specific sections set up and can (perhaps) be considered "long term" enough to serve pu...

Re: Forming a Mage Archive
A sad fact to report on this topic is that only recently, the last remaining (known) well documented public archive containing details of the talents and spells of WoW as they progressed from their introduction to the game all the way back from beta 1 of vanilla to present day, was lost. (I believe ...

Re: When did you begin playing a mage?
I started playing a mage sometime before ZG was released in vanilla. I remember go... Welcome to the forums Alia! I remember you from the Intelligent Mage Forums (as well as other places) all that time ago (even if you do not remember me :P), those were some pretty good forums. What happened to the...

Re: [TC]Arcane SimC APL
In all fairness, I think Kavan retired less because of some underlying issue with the model, and more to do with the fact that he just moved on from WoW really. Many good theorycrafters quit WoW around that same time, some quit just outright, while some stayed playing, but mainly in a very casual ca...

Re: [TC]Arcane SimC APL
1. Regardless of how some vocal mages say it's bad, there are a great number of websites and guide writers who still really on it for research or information sourcing. Some even consider it as some sort of bible, as you guys said. Many of these websites are terrible (ie. a certain one that starts w...

Re: [TC]Arcane SimC APL
The focus initially was on MoP in an effort to begin rebuilding the trust between SimC and the mage community (and, to get experience with the project so we could be useful for WoD). At least, this was my initial goal. I felt like if we got people who were knowledgeable about it, or willing to beco...

Re: [TC]Arcane SimC APL
Honestly, if you want a standard for simulation, I believe SimC is definitely the way to go. The devs are extremely helpful, and the underlying code for running an actual simulation is in place (and always maintained). Yeus. I agree. This is what our auditlords also concluded. We were actually goin...

Re: [TC]Arcane SimC APL
With some discussion today between Komma, myself, and Navv (SimC lead dev, he's joined us in IRC now!) we came to the conclusion that adding in some of the lines that include conditions on waiting for trinkets, or anything sync'd with those events, are going to need some more clever modifications o...

Re: When did you begin playing a mage?
Re: When did you begin playing a mage? If I remember correctly, I rolled my first mage in the beta patch 4 (or was it patch 6?) of vanilla beta. I'm not sure if I can remember it more precisely, but I remember it was 1 patch or so before the first set of mage talents were introduced into the game. ...

Re: Where's the boomkin thread?
Though tbh some of the changes are definitely a notbad.jpg moment. I can sometimes see the *new* eclipse mechanic work like a more interesting version of Mana Adept. Whereas the idea with Mana Adept is inherently self defeating (i.e. "keep mana high to do more damage but you have to spend mana to do...
