BurxUI – New Interface Snapshot
Here’s a little work in progress shot of my UI.
It has new unitframes, some addons are gone to improve framerates in raids and a couple of tweaks here and there. I wrote a couple of addons to have the same looks and functions i wanted, for example in tooltips without all the options, menus and stuff i never needed.
Updated UI Pack
Finally got rid of all the LUA errors 
and put together a worthy release.
More Infos @ This Section!
Realm F… Oh wait! -.-
Cheers fellas, now that I’ve slept a couple of hours ( 4 actually 
) I’m writing the events concerning our small group of fanatics with Cataclysm’s launch 
Preparation
So the idea came to my mind how fun it would be to try to finally compete for realmfirst lvl 85 with this new expansion incoming.
I’ve popped the idea for some of my friends and they liked the idea, I thought we had a pretty solid chance on getting the “feat”.
So we’ve decided to try and prepared accordingly. Swfitness pots, tuskarr’s vitality, nitro boosts, enchant scroll for new weapons, flasks, speed/healing pots and a couple mighty rage pots for my warrior friend 
My Setup
*Coffee* *Energy Drinks* *IceTee* *Some Sweets* *Chips behind laptop * *Laptop with some detailed quest guides*
The Happening
So blizz didn’t realize or didn’t care to realize if they made their ‘over nine-f***ing-thousand userbase’ relog for the sake of enabling cataclysm content all at the same time their login servers could use some extra pumpkin juice… (At least it wasn’t laggy not for me at least.) So after an hour of trying to log in I’ve actually got in the game and quickly threw in my prestocked 25 dailys before in Icecrown, went for dala by ring teleport, trained azeroth flying there, HS to Orgrimmar chose Hyjal to level since Vasjh’ir is “teh suck” for quick leveling and just as i thought that being 1 hour late in logging in fucked me over bigtime and Hyjal took waay too long to get out of :\
By the time I had 1 other hunter who was already in before me and kudos to him he got realm first ahead of me by a fair margin. Not sure if I could blame this on the damn login servers but it’s sure as hell didn’t help me waiting for 6 god damn mobs to respawn with a 5 min timer when 412312341232134213 people are camping them …
The new quest chaining system is epicly sucky aswell if you’re stuck on a bugged quest for some reason (buggy phasing, quest objectives wrongly shown on blizzard’s own in-game quest map etc) you can pretty much do nothing about it. You have to complete each and every quest pretty much in the exact order or you won’t be able to move on to the next quest hub. There’s insanely little flexibility in quest choices. And these new, funny but sometimes horribly annoying little cinematics on quests especially in uldum which most of the times you can’t skip or if you chose to skip the quest won’t get completed/bug/WRAAAARRRRRR!!! *FFFFFFFUUUUUU* … makes you wanna destroy something with a baseball bat.
Anyway my friend “Flaus” AkA “Szkirox” managed to get the realm first 85 warrior at least, I’m happy for him
The Moral of This Story
Based on beta experiences by others we expected a lot longer grind for 85. This was ridiculously easy and short tbh and that 9.1 million EXP required for the last level is really making you wanna kill yourself in the end, they really should have just sticked with 10 new levels instead of 5 for a more balanced leveling experience! =(
(Btw whoever came up with that quest where you have to escort a goblin squad to that dragonmaw gate should jump of some very high place and make a squishy sound srsly, objective: “blow up gate” -okay you didn’t give me any explosives just some retarded ‘ramboblackops’ goblins with no further info whatsoever oh wait so I should just stand motionless at the gate and the goblins will blow it up eventually if i stay still, nvm *I probably got cranky at that point*)
We did the new nagrand/zuldrak-ish ring of blood thingie and when you threw in 6*104k XP quests to see they only gave about 5-6% of your level you go into ‘zerk mode
Alltogether the new quests are great with lore and fun aswell. There are a horrid amount of buggy mechanics and quests marked wrongly on the map especially in uldum. Much more thant here were in WotLK leveling. The low amount of developers assigned to WoW is taking it’s toll on the quality of the game.
Next update will follow shortly with Cata dungeons and Archeology hopefully between two exams [x.x] Take Care
PS: Camo looks kewl
Still Alive! ;)
Greetings
Well as my recent blog activity proves I haven’t had the time or motivation to write in quite a while.
Since my last update I’ve had some nice adventures Transferring from Bloodscalp to Tarren Mill (Cráb People) had a great time there with the folks and even got to kill that nasty “King” in proper 25 man hard mode a couple times. Unfortunately school did kick me in the nuts as of this september and got back to Bloodscalp after all (not being able to keep up enough raiding time with my crappy school schedule) .
So I’m back on Bloodscalp venturing into this new expansion with my friends and happy knowing the changes to the raid system is going to make 10 mans a huge lot more preferred over 25 mans. The issue on Bloodscalp has been there for quite a while now that it was extremely hard to keep up an active full 25 man roster where each and every one of the raiders were pretty much on the same level in skill and dedication.
Therefore I belive the 10 man raids giving the same loot even if in smaller quantities will be great and there will be some nice competition amongst the smaller guilds.
As of late I’ve been farming around vanilla / BC reputations and some achievements since I’m not one who plays since vanilla. I’m glad to report that if you’ve completed loremaster pre-4.0 you still have your achievment but pretty much about 99% of your quest completion went down the drain and each old zone got a separrate achievement now and your old completed quests don’t count towards them now so good luck fellow loremaster farming it out again. I just hope the new revamped quests will give at least the same amount of satisfaction upon completing the achievements
Hunters, Focus!
I’ve archived my hunter page of WotLK which can be found under Hunter’s Lodge -> History (WotLK)…
For the incoming new hunter guide please be patient I’ll keep it updated with leveling tips, specs, rotations, pets infos as I find the time to write.
The Hunter’s Lodge (Cataclysm) -work in progress
LoL
At last a small token of fun if there are still some souls reading this <3
When the 4.0.1 patch hit the live servers we had a few issues on our hands as hunters. First of all new resource: focus – took some getting used to being limited in a manner of speaking compared to mana before.
Another pretty nasty reason to QQ was that our shots weren’t normalized for our weapon speeds (actual dps of the weapon) than rather our weapon’s dmg. Thankfully this got fixed already among some nice buffs to our dear Marksman signature ability Chimera Shot. Aimed Shoot Took some nasty nerfs in the process of getting from PTR to Live.
But before I get carried away the above video demonstrates our multiple pet bug temporarily available when the patch hit live. Enjoy!
Addon Review: Gnosis
I’ve been bored last morning so I’ve decided to browse around on wowinterface.com for a couple newly updated addons when I found this gem of modification to replace any kind of unit’s castbar from player/target to even every single arena opponent.
Tbh it’s offering the same functionality as quartz, but even a bit more specifically towards what I’m looking for in a castbar mod. For example i always found quartz’s buff, mirror and whatever parts it had totally useless. I just needed it awesome castbar features.
I don’t want to bore you with the technical details here since you can find that here aswell as a couple nice screenshots of the bars.
About it’s options, it supports shared media as everything should nowadays and can be set up with multiple layouts for each type of castbar(player, target etc…)
Imo it’s worth a try if you’re getting bored of quartz or others i was able to set it up about 10 minutes to my liking.
Progression Update!
So We’ve finally managed to down that beast after about 220 wipes. o.O Lost the server first on LK, but we’ve managed to kill it 2 days after the first guild who killed him and got a nice 3/12 heroic progress right after the reset which gives us our current realm first status.
At first our healer team was massively failing so did most of our raiders on defiles/positioning, some even on dps. -.-
After a nice wake up post on the forums and losing the realmfirst on LK they’ve shaped up and we managed to kill it in an epicly well executed fight.
Movie is in the making. Since we’re progressing aswell in the meantime in heroic it might come a little late. 
I’ll be probably making a normal and an RP version of it just for fun.
/greets until then/
Addon Section Added…
The download can be found on WoWinterface.com!
Will update it once in a while when i make some major changes on it.
