I made quite a lot of gold soloing Devilsaurs in Ungoro Crater as a Druid. I'd skin them and got the Devilsaur leather which made the Devilsaur set (Leatherworking) that Rogues needed, and uhm, Feral Druids. Sold very well in early vanilla. Got me my epic mount with those.

I'm not sure that's going to be available this time.

 

[hivemind]

just make money by erp like a normal person

This is accentuated by the fact that usually private servers keep their database to themselves aside from leaks so whatever fixes individual servers do rarely get shared into the open source pool.

You seem like a knowledgeable person. Were there any significant attempts to open-source a common database of scripts/numbers/fixes in the private server community?

Well there are few open source projects that everyone gets their database/core from like ManGOS and now Nostalrius offshoot when it was leaked or Rebirth as it was made public but there's not really any unified effort. ManGOS project is probably closest (or was back when I was actually involved) to one but it's more like a baseline everyone takes from and very, very rarely commits back to.

The scene is very much closed up because projects view each others as competition rather than as effort to bring out the best unified experience.

Yeah, thought so. I wonder how ManGOS even managed to provide a baseline with that mindset prevalent. Have there been any developments in the toolset department? Like, making database management more convenient then using phpMyAdmin or console tools?

Devilsaur set is BIS for rogues, feral druids, hunters, fury warriors, and probably ret pallies and enh shamans too pretty much until BWL opens up. So expect all of the devilsaur spawns to be tagged and killed basically immediately, and God help you on a PVP server.

Yea, it only sold well during early vanilla when everyone was still experimenting. Once people had the 5-men dungeons and MC on farm, no one other than alts bothered with Devilsaur sets. Guess Ungoro will be crazy crowded since everyone already knows where the good stuff are...

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

The Devilsaur Mafia will return.

 

[hivemind]

devilsaur economy will be fucked for the reminder of the servers lifetime because of multi layer hoarding exploit at the start

 

[Lacrymas]

They said the plan is that the layering will be turned off a week or so after launch and that the layering is only for the starting zones. I might be wrong though.

Unequivocally by the end of Phase 1. I remember seeing something along the lines of what you said, but that it was a statement made with some room for error.

That's enough time to fuck the economy, although by time it will probably unfuck itself. Provided that they actually do remove it.

You don't need to tag the devilsaur, you only need to skin them. Go rogue and wait for people to kill and loot their devilsaur, then sap and skin it for yourself. Easy money.

Btw, the devilsaur mafia only worked on private servers because of collusion between factions, which won't fly on official servers.

 

[hivemind]

it iwl work on streamer servers because people who steal a leather from the streamer mafia will get blacklisted from everything

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

So what's the exploit and why do you think other layers won't be farming the shit out of it too?

 

[Ninjerk]

Any russkies playing on Russian PvP servers?

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

I'm on EU. Fuck playing with Russians lmao.

 

[Ninjerk]

But you'd also be playing against Russians.

It's changing layers so you don't have to wait for respawns. They can easily stop this by not having layers in Un'Goro, if they have layers after the starting zones at all.

 

[Sentinel]

They addressed this in a recent podcast. They said that after one of the recent betas they made it so that you can't change a layer before the time it'd take for a resource nod to respawn. So it's not possible to change a layer by logging out and back in immediately.

 

[mindfields]

So any Codex Guilds gonna get made?

Better not to.

Here's 50g. Go buy your alt a nice Krol Blade or somethin' from the Auction House, 'eh? You didn't see nuttin' here. Stay outta Un'goro, we stay outta your way, capeesh?
