I would like to see in the Guild List when you are looking for a particular toon that you can see it as well as any toons associated with that player account. So that if I was to open up the Guild List and see some alt name that I have no idea about. I can associate it with another toon name that I might be more familiar with. Also.... I would like to have a "built in" Incognito where a player can designate their "common" name for their account. The name would then show in all chats where guild members are present. Nice idea... but.... So asking people to update their public note with their main name isn't good enough? It doesn't hurt to ask for members to do this but there are some inherent problems with that:1.) ALL members won't do this. Some are actually kind of "lazy" about such things don't think about it etc.2.) The only consistent thing about the Guild List is that it is populated by members that join the guild; every other feature of the list is subject to some sort of "human" interaction (e g promotions notes made etc.)3.) There isn't even a server date / time stamp associated with a particular account when it joins the guild. I would like to see Blizzard actually code some "useful" information such as this and "group" up the toons (by player account) if you have more than one toon in a particular guild. They could have it so that they are lined out by when the toon(s) were invited to the guild. This would make it so that by default the first toon that joins the guild is your "primary" toon and subsequent toons would be listed underneath it. I guess I would also like to see the functionality put in so that you can promote / demote ALL of a player's toons as an option with a simple click. You would simply "choose" which rank for the player to be and the client would "automagically" promote/demote ALL accounts associated with that player (if the option was selected).

"Why do able alts do well in bakeoffs and how do you prevent it?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-03 22:32:30

In the two Tri-Duty bakeoffs I've been in. I've noticed quite a few able alts among the familiar winners. I'm wondering what exactly is it that gives them an favor. I undergo some ideas of my own but I'd like to hear your thoughts. Sailing: Personally. I'm the write of sailor who likes to chain platforms so being at able level is torturous to me. But I know other people like to create huge vegases so having fewer platforms and go blocks to get in the way helps them. So. I'm guessing this is where being able has it's advantages. Carpentry: I'm guessing that having smaller holes allows people to get masterpieces faster which makes up for the penalty for breaking a masterpiece arrange when you finish your feature meter. Bilging: Obviously having fewer colors makes it easier to make bingos and sea donkeys but I also thought that combos were worth less at the lower levels. Maybe the scoring penalty due to being at a low level isn't as bad as I thought it was. Also is there a way to design a bakeoff that discourages the use of able alts? For example does a longer bakeoff favor the players with higher ratings? How long is long enough? Does starting with beat bilge/beat damage advance one group over the other? Those are the two main bakeoff changes that I can evaluate of but I'd love to hear more ideas. The able bilge syndrome is pretty obvious. You can incred in your sleep when you're able - just about every move gives a 3x3 with a great cascade. I've heard that the top bilgers do better on 9 stars but it's certainly easier to get that incred on 1-3 stars. Able sails is tougher. Most of the top sailors I know say that the GM amount of platforms is easiest for them. Still an Ult on a Renowned/GM alt may consistently defeat folks on their high-rated mains. Able carp is a quick go away followed by needing a lot of luck. Two free MPs (one with a grain bonus) is instant sparklies but then the small holes and low stars can grip you if the pieces don't cooperate. Able object is favored in shorter rounds. The extra points from 9-star giant holes ordain win in longer rounds. The only way to prevent the benefits any able alts may have is to change the scoring system at the low levels. damage was already tweaked although possibly not enough. Carpentry I think is nearly balanced although it could count the first two free MP holes for less points. Sails may need a bilge-like score reduction for those vegases on low stars. It's primarily a GD issue not an events issue. For now the events are technically fair because everyone can able alt although I don't personally desire that someone is playing 3-star bilge while I'm swapping for bingos at 9 stars. The temporary fixes for event runners would be to have longer rounds that would compel populate to play up to higher star levels or to enforce minimum stat requirements. ---------------------------------------- Polly on HunterCaptain of FlocktartsLady of This End UpAvatar by Hedvvig I just experience that it is frustrating to see populate on alts winning. My personal feelings on the be is if I can't win on my main using an alt for an easier scoring system such as being able to build huge Vegas chains with an able alt on sails then I would be cheating. Since I don't cheat. I don't do it. It's one of the reasons I don't do bakeoffs on other oceans. Of cover people ordain say that alts are a game mechanic and using a game mechanic isn't cheating. I personally would like to see an experience requirement. It would prevent a brand new alt coming in and would compel the cross-ocean bakeoff'ers to at least puzzle for a little while on the ocean they are going to. ---------------------------------------- Jolyma. SO. Phalanx. Viridian OceanAvatar by ME Cheating is not abiding by the rules of the competition. Using alts when permitted by the rules of the competition is not cheating. I know more people who use alts to forbid tells and chatspam while concentrating than who do it to get a different scoring matrix at the lower level. Creating requirements for alts just means spending more time on the alt before the competition which of cover populate ordain be happy to do for a familiar competition. It also limits the willingness of the Ringers to alter prizes (the policy generally being in favour of widespread and non-discriminatory participation criteria for the sake of fun!). Personally. I don't think it's a problem and I don't consider it an air that should be addressed. That noted the only real deterrent to using a different pirate is to undergo the consider inscribed with the winner's name and the only way to alter use of alts less advantageous is to alter the competition very very desire so that you go over the feature levels into mid-level ones where there are no easy increds and scoring is a bit lower than at the higher feature levels. Not sure a five hour bakeoff would be particularly fun though. ---------------------------------------- Sweetiepiepi. Nav of Tyr's Own. Hypnos proposed. "Cephalopiepis?"Silveransom: I'm no linguistic neophyte mate. Bilging: It shouldn't be easier to score well on a less than 7 piece board in theory. undergo there actually been top bilge cook off winners that were able here? Note there is a huge difference between getting a good enough score to get an Incred and getting the top advance in a Duty inform. object: Carp is easier with a Novice character in a Carp cook off if/ the cook off is short enough. Once you aren't given the freebie hole it's much harder to do well in Carp and if a bake off is long enough a Novice's standing should increase in theory. Sailing: This puzzle is just broken. It's easier to win on an Able engrave. Plain as that. Wrong and broken. ---------------------------------------- ! ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times measure edit by at Oct 29. 2007 12:37:30 PM] Ok. I guess I should present some more facts before I start spouting off about able alts. Below. I furnish the results from a bring together recent bakeoffs and the ranking of the pirates who were in the top 5 of the duty report. I've underlined the pirates that I consider to be "able alts". Bilge only has a bring together alts in the top 5 in any ocean. Carpentry has 5 alts all in the short round format. Sailing has 18 alts in both bunco round and multi-round events. The top 5 finishers from the preliminaries of the Tri-duty bakeoffs a 10 minute round:Bilge:Midnight:Adalaide - Sublime/UltJokert - Illustrious/UltHatchetback - Illustrious/UltMadmarymeade - change/UltSink - Expert/UltViridian:Frankp - Solid/GM Leonardork - Solid/UltSartia - Solid/LegFlisan - Solid/UltCobalt:Guppygurl - Illustrious/UltSnuby - Broad/LegRuthven - Expert/UltJov - Illustrious/UltSexygurly - Solid/GMHunter:Hannicute - Broad/LegLyndy - Weighty/UltJyoshi - Expert/UltCinquains - Illustrious/Ult The top 5 finalists from the Viridian Bakeoff Bonanza a 10 minute round preliminary round followed by a 20 minute final: (Note that these ratings are 1 month after the event finished)Bilge:Dyrbar - change/UltHeffalumpy - Sublime/UltAroven - Solid/UltNattee - Expert/UltFaldez - Weighty/UltSailing:Aisso - Sublime/Ult Simply put able alts are more likely to be "familiar whores" who just pop onto an ocean clutch a consider and disappear with it never to be seen again. As an event runner. I personally find this distasteful and would like to design my events to hinder this type of activity. This isn't a blanket statement on all bakeoffs. You run your events how you decide. I'm trying.

"A tank?s alts." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-23 16:19:39

Aksana (Draenai blast Mage). Aksana was my first alt and is currently aim 40 (yay no more walking!). I have to admit that I sight the mage a bit tiring to solo (although no more so than a warrior) but I do so enjoy playing her in a 5-man (lately I’ve been doing some runs through Scarlett Monastery with some other alts). Playing a mage is an interesting contrast to a store. For a tank the primary objective is to hold aggro. DPS is quite secondary. But for a mage the primary objective is DPS (and some occasional CC and dispelling) while aggro. I enjoy trying to choose and time my spells to maximize damage while just barely avoiding getting aggro off the tank or melee members of my celebrate. Also it’s fun seeing the fight from “behind the front lines” for a change. Compared to Jessika. Aksana is quite extroverted charming and a bit of a flirt. You don’t undergo to be shy when you have that much firepower. She’s got some great lines. “Look at my hoof! Does this crack be infected to you?” Yeah it isn’t her hooves you are looking at eh? Muriel (Human follow Priest). I started a priest with the intention of trying my hand at a healer. Also I was interested in what looked to me like a challenging class. Priests are a bit tough going until you get to about 20 but after that they grind like a conceive of if you spec follow (no sitting on my butt charging mana with spirit tap). Muriel is aim 31 now (I just had to get Mind Control). I’ve tried my transfer at healing in groups a few times. As a tank I have a great appreciation for the role of a healer so it is interesting to actually try it for a change. I must adjudge though that I sight it hard to resist handing-out some follow Word:Pain a Mind Flay on a runner or a Mind make noise for a killing shot (I want my spirit tap dammit!). Muriel hasn’t developed much of a personality yet. I’ve tried to give her a bit of a dark align by outfitting her in color but the goodly priest align keeps coming out. She does have a little bit of a gypsy thing going though. Sula (Blood Elf Affliction Warlock). Unfortunately Sula has been neglected lately. I got her to level 30 but she’s been there for some measure now. My friends and I undergo Alliance mains so we are often there instead of Horde-side. I evaluate the warlock is my favorite caster class. I love the versatility of their spells and the dynamics of the energy exchange of a warlock. A warlock can sacrifice her own health for more mana course the health or mana of a mob sacrifice her own health to heal a pet drain mana from a pet and change surface do an AOE at the assay of killing herself. I like having my own personal tank (i e. Voidwalker)! A warlock is a small party wrapped-up in one toon (tank healer. DPS and some utility) and fun to aviate but I’m interested in someday trying her out in a 5-man. Sula has some serious attitude — she’s got this snobbish sorority girl thing going. She’s everything Jessika is not. She’s way too pretty and alter to be bothered getting her hands alter/cover. She’d rather send in the pet cast a few DOTs and then do her nails while waiting for the fight to be over. She’s so belfy! It is interesting perhaps that a tank’s alts are all clothy casters. I’ve thought seriously about a balance druid but at this point I don’t know if I have the time or energy to aim another toon to their 20’s. Also I am having a hard time designing a Night Elf that doesn’t look desire one of my friends since most of them have nelf mains.

"Crafting alts?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-07 17:01:16

I just decided to make 3 alts so that i can cover all of the crafting professoins. I have a GM Woodworker and Forester(havent leveled farming at all) and have begun leveling a minstrel to be a Jeweller/Propector/Cook. Now with these two chars I should be able to give all the mats to the two other crafting alts... Metalsmith/Weaponsmith/accommodate/Scholar/etc. The only issue i see coming drink the road is that the higher end crafting tools undergo aim restrictions on them. Which of cover i can get all of these crafters to GM in the desired fields with bronze tools. but then what good are they to me if they can't equip the AS tools to furnish myself a decent shot at critting combines. I am correct in this? If i am would it not make more comprehend to instead of putting assay aim restrictions on the crafting tools and scrolls but put crafting tier restrictions just like are on the the actual nodes? thoughts? To level crafting you need to complete quests. At least as high as aim 40 or so. If you undergo a lot of friends in your kinship this shouldn't be TOO big of a problem. To use the exceed crafting tools you have to have a minimum character level to equip them. Your alt can be a GM metalsmith and make Ancient Steel tools but if your alt isn't at least level 45(?) it won't be able to equip the tools.[mouth]I have no idea why the devs did this other than to go populate off. Yeah it would be exceed and make more sense to alter the fashion tools dependent on your craft aim. In fact it would alter comprehend to have the crafting quests be based on craft level and not engrave level but since crafting is the redheaded step-child of LOTRO that is not the way it works.[/mouth]Yes we all accept with your proposal. After all why on Middle-Earth would you not be able to craft completely separately from adventuring? It makes no comprehend! The only air i see coming down the road is that the higher end crafting tools have level restrictions on them. Which of cover i can get all of these crafters to GM in the desired fields with bronze tools. but then what good are they to me if they can't equip the AS tools to furnish myself a decent shot at critting combines. I am correct in this? If i am would it not make more comprehend to instead of putting adventure level restrictions on the crafting tools and scrolls but put crafting tier restrictions just desire are on the the actual nodes? thoughts? You are change by reversal you would have to be a certain level to use the better crafting tools. You will also have to level your characters to around 15 or so to do the tier 2 Quests which involve killing and signature monster. You will run into trouble in the higher level areas with you wood and ore harvesting as I comprehend monsters will super agrro on anything that is below a certain aim threshold. Since metalsmith and jewler undergo multiple slots they can change equipment for (7 peices each) and the metalsmith can mine and supply gems to the jewler I would concentrate on leveling and GM those characters. At least that is what I am doing. Now with these two chars I should be able to give all the mats to the two other crafting alts... Metalsmith/Weaponsmith/Tailor/Scholar/etc. Yes supplying ore to either a metalsmith or weaponsmith will supply you with enough gems/ soft ore to aim a jeweller. However its easier to level a weaponsmith via the lure traps - which use straw an item from farming.. The other point if your crafting alt ISNT 45 and using at least Ancient Steel Tools (18% to critical) its not worth your measure trying to craft one shot recipies with that alt. So in short have fun getting covering all crafting skill with GM alts. but if the alts arnt Lv45 you ordain be exceed off supplying all the mats to a lv45 GM crafter Alts are good for basic but the quest for Tier 4 master requires good friends. I too undergo a main that is an explorer and my alts undergo all the professions covered. Most art sitting at know Expert with 440/440 in Tier 4 waiting for the seek. Most are sitting on stock piles of raw materials to take them all the way to GM when I get the seek out of the way. But then again its my goal to have level 50s in all non-pet classes and GM covered in every profession. My main supplies all the materials change surface the Scholar which is Dying to Tier up. The Farmers are GM by themselves and Prospecting and Forestry are near GM since there was no leveling seek. Heh exploit too but including the pet classes My happy gang of seven is busy both leveling and crafting and I have to say that the way crafting and leveling are related kind of makes comprehend. If you aim as you craft you get the best of both worlds: you can use the appropriate materials/tools to actually make items usable by the other characters at their current levels. Most items my characters feature or use are crafted by themselves or one of the others without any special effort needed trying to get crafting quests done too early or anything of the choose... It's working out quite nicely. I guess i was hoping.
