The worst thing about WOW is...

Well in my opinion it's the printed manual/handbook that is glued so badly that it after only have been opened a few times looks like this:

http://www.bahnhof.se/wb547647/page2/pics3/STP60121.JPG

After the back broke up completely the last time I opened my manual, I've now put small Post-it tags at every useful chapter, just so that I don't have to search too much and destroy the manual even more.

The biggest reason it's entered this state is however that the Contents listing lacks pagenumbering. rolleek


Now, where in the name of... did I put that thing that I forgot what it was and why I was looking for it?

Re: The worst thing about WOW is...

There are a lot of errors in the manual, from misspellings, to incorrect spells and abilities, to things like Hero Classes that will never be in the game. smile I never used my manual too much so I guess mine lucked out as far as glueing goes. But when I did browse through it a couple times I noticed the problems with the glue as well, perhaps thats why I left it. Hmm.

Ditto.
lol Honestly I don't think I even bothered to take it out of the box.

::EDIT::
I guess I can add 'my' worst thing. Waiting...the waiting for 20+, 40+, hell even 5+ people to get their smurf together.

Re: The worst thing about WOW is...

Yeah, I never looked at the manual really. It includes a lot of things that were either in beta or planned to be in shortly after that later got axed. The WoW website is a better source for info (and the expansion is supposedly including better in game help).

Re: The worst thing about WOW is...

Well atleast I used the manual for looking up the meaning of each race, which professions are best mixed etc. However there is one strange thing I cant understand. I have a Warlock and I have a Mage. When I play with the Warlock smile I have a staff or a sword at key#1 and the wand at key#2 on the alfanumerical keyboard and that works great, however it doesn't work on the Mage. If I , when I play with the Warlock, press "1" after I've targeted an enemy well then my character draws his weapon and starts to fight. Pressing "1" when I play with the Mage however doesn't work at all - nothing happens and the wand is impossible to choose. Whyyy for the love of...?

Re: The worst thing about WOW is...

Settings are unique to each character.  Perhaps you set it up on your warlock and assumed they would carry over to your mage?

Yeah, the WoW manual is pretty useless.  I was a late adopter and they still had not updated portions of the manual on game details that were fixed soon after beta.

Re: The worst thing about WOW is...

The key assignments of 1 to the = key are for the spells you put on your spell bar (the first spell being 1 and the last being =). You can tell what it is assigned to by looking at the upper right corner of the button (and you can change keybindings using the keybindings menu).

I've done that and I've checked the settings on each character and they seem to be the same but I still can't figure out why pressing "1" for the Warlock activates the primary weapon that I have on "1" - currently a sword but doesn't have any effect for the Mage on which "1" equals a staff.confused


I've fixed it. What I did wrong was that I dragged the wand and the staff from my characterpane instead of from the abilitiespane. Its fixed now.

...20 fps on a 2.13 GHz MacBook Pro with a 20" cenima display...


...knowing the 13 year old in the raid is running 60 fps on something that cost less than 1k to build...

...not being able to record fights because snapz + wow is to much for the computer and brings me to single digit fps...

Re: The worst thing about WOW is...

Now what about those dense treebranches that's allways in the way? Make me wish I had a bigger screen or xray vision.
