Re: Some good suggestions, but ... Questhelper? Really? Macharius Send a noteboard - 15/07/2010 05:20:42 PM

Would a new player know or care about unit frames? I tried running with customized unit frames for a bit, and while they were pretty and positionable, they broke after a patch and then I just went back to the default, which does the job just fine for me. Raids seem to be the only place where the default unit frames tend to fall down on the job a little. The default is fine for five-mans.

I found the default frames too small to be useful when the UI scale is minimized. And if he doesn't like it, he can delete it as you did.

The lag bar can be handy for a mage once you get the hang of the gameplay and want to squeeze more speed out of your spells, for sure. You can do this without the lag bar, of course -- just start your next spell when the current spell is about 80% through its cast -- but a lag bar will show you more precisely.

I like having the regular-sized target casting bar available.

Yeah, if you can find people in-game who will answer questions without being idiots about it, those people are worth their weight in gold. There's a lot to learn when you're new.

With RealID, he could add friends that are already playing. Heck, I sent him my email so he could add me if he wanted to. Certainly a lot better than asking randomly in a town.

So I finally gave in and started playing WoW, any advice? Roland00 - 15/07/2010 02:04:34 AM 1288 Views

Add-Ons are actually common and not a bannable offense (depending on their nature). TaskmasterJack - 15/07/2010 02:11:03 AM 813 Views

Well in diablo 2 Roland00 - 15/07/2010 03:25:08 AM 773 Views

actually, I still prefer questhelper LadyLorraine - 15/07/2010 07:14:57 PM 813 Views

Can't decided if I like or hate questhelper Roland00 - 15/07/2010 08:34:19 PM 756 Views

Others have given good advice. also: LadyLorraine - 15/07/2010 07:18:18 PM 770 Views

Depends on the kind of player you are, I think. Aemon - 15/07/2010 09:07:11 PM 785 Views

I agree, actually. Nate - 15/07/2010 10:52:06 PM 805 Views

Oh yah, that's fair enough

Currently level 20 mage, just bought all the spells now I am poor

Roland00 - 18/07/2010 03:25:57 PM 745 Views

Improved Blizzard is most useful for PVP, but... LadyLorraine - 18/07/2010 05:14:13 PM 785 Views

Mining is a good Profession to pick up to make money on the side. TaskmasterJack - 18/07/2010 06:25:35 PM 761 Views

Currently my professions are tailoring and enchanting Roland00 - 19/07/2010 12:25:28 AM 723 Views

The problem with leveling enchanting is that its a money sink, so you'll be poor a lot. TaskmasterJack - 19/07/2010 12:55:49 AM 781 Views

Well eventually I may have a second character Roland00 - 19/07/2010 01:21:46 AM 741 Views

As a tailor / enchanter... Macharius - 19/07/2010 04:18:36 PM 778 Views

Re: Blizzard TaskmasterJack - 18/07/2010 06:41:43 PM 789 Views

Thanks for the explanation Roland00 - 19/07/2010 12:27:04 AM 728 Views

You're worrying too much, and min-maxing too much. And a lot of this advice is very, very bad. lord-of-shadow - 18/07/2010 07:03:43 PM 822 Views

Agreed for everything except the add-ons. Aemon - 18/07/2010 08:35:45 PM 743 Views

lord-of-shadow makes some good points. TaskmasterJack - 18/07/2010 11:47:36 PM 776 Views

To min max is my nature

Roland00 - 19/07/2010 12:33:00 AM 763 Views

Of course. I don't mean to imply that min-maxing it inherently bad or not fun. lord-of-shadow - 19/07/2010 04:31:18 PM 748 Views

I think if he felt it was necessary to follow the spec... LadyLorraine - 19/07/2010 10:49:28 PM 733 Views

I agree with whoever said to ignore levelling guides Deadsy - 12/08/2010 11:07:45 PM 888 Views
