Even at high times it was less than an hour between fights and at a few times even 30 minutes between. Closer to better. I take it more as people getting bored with it quick or sick of waiting so there are less even trying. Could be a fix, but I think it is more people saying screw it.<br /><br />Some of the pet issues have been fixed. Growl as only working when you first started the fight. After you were in battle it would never go off again and you could not even manually do it yourself. Aggro issues with pets were all over the place too, but that seems to have gotten better as well. I think the restart they did the other day fixed many of them. There are a few bugs still like pets are a little on the squishy side still since 5.1 came out.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-89288896356327661882012-12-03T09:01:42.416-05:002012-12-03T09:01:42.416-05:00Some classes with no healing have a disadvantage l...Some classes with no healing have a disadvantage like hunters but hunters also have massive amounts of ways to keep things at a distance which makes up for it.<br /><br />As much as people complain about balance to some extend they do a fairly decent job at attempting to balance it so everyone has some chance.<br /><br />The main difference is some classes you need to be at your best to do it while others can get by being average or lesser thanks to class benefits, such as those huge heals.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-62774675143734175752012-12-02T21:20:03.448-05:002012-12-02T21:20:03.448-05:00It's definitely been fixed.

No idea why Blizzard couldn't have set it up correctly at the beginning though...<br /><br />Seems there are a lot of "pet" issues with the fights though.<br /><br />Haven't gotten an invite yet myself, but I did watch some fights tonight while I was cooking and eating dinner.Jaegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-78663188441907544432012-12-01T08:16:30.849-05:002012-12-01T08:16:30.849-05:00Thanks Jaeger!

Between you, Grumpy, PotatoeWow, and several of the Ananamooses, I am learning lots of things here!<br /><br />Grumpy - You know, I am not sure wtf blizz is doing now. They say "we want people out in the world doing things, not sitting in a city" and yet, here they say (reading between the lines), "we want people sitting in Brawler's Guild doing things not out in the world". <br /><br />Like Jaeger said - EPIC FAIL!!!!-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-35285799884362862192012-11-30T20:01:04.208-05:002012-11-30T20:01:04.208-05:00Blue post from Zarhym yesterday:
"We've ...Blue post from Zarhym yesterday:<br /><br />"We've seen some confusion about people from other realms showing up in the Brawler's Guild.<br /><br />It's important to note that the Brawler's Guild only uses realm coalescing when the number of participants is really low, so a lot of people are seeing people from other realms due to the fact that there haven't been many invitations to join distributed yet. It's highly likely the area will cease to activate CRZ on most realms as participation increases. Having 100+ people in the queue doesn't create a good experience, but, from our perspective, neither does having only a small handful of people.<br /><br />The feature is designed to bring a decent population into the guild, and those people should spend at least a modest amount of time as spectators or loiterers before getting into the ring. We didn't design the Brawler's Guild with the intention of getting you through queues in 10 minutes or less. We're not trying to replicate Dungeon Finder for the solo player with Brawler's Guild.<br /><br />If the place seems overcrowded AND you're seeing people from other realms there, it could be a situation where the population check that determines whether or not to coalesce a realm hasn't run again yet. As I said before, this should stabilize in time and likely automatically disable CRZ for the guild."<br /><br />EPIC FAIL!!!!<br /><br />The thread that Zarhym started is a 20 page stream of people saying that the information Zarhym stated is completely ludicrous.<br /><br />At the end of the thread, people are talking like Blizz just hotfixed it in the last hour or so and it's not doing CRZ anymore or it's significantly better. They're seeing 20 people in queue instead of 100+.Jaegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-46412300060619593812012-11-30T16:40:34.224-05:002012-11-30T16:40:34.224-05:00not to beat this to death, but couldnt the same be...not to beat this to death, but couldnt the same be said for pally's, with their instant heal (and any others - it is just pally's that come to mind right now)- they would have it easy?

No big deal, we as hunters have so many other skills we can use there. Just have to go old school and kite it seems.<br /><br />I do not have a ticket, or might soon, I was there as part of a quest that sent me there from the new quest hub and was getting the non-fight related achievements. I just could not find a mad enthiust to throw stuff at and gave up after a while.<br /><br />I'll get a ticket sooner or later.

I can't afford a black or white goat mount now that I am exhausted with the tillers, much less being able to afford a silly ticket to be humiliated in public.<br /> <br />Too bad those hunters didn’t have Miss Direct on their pets or is it possible that Blizz in their wisdom made it so that one can’t use MD or growl (or anything else) to remove threat on these brawler’s?<br /><br />How did you get your ticket, if I may ask?<br /><br />As always, good hunting,<br /><br />-roo “I’m off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Blizz” the Hunter-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-51367890275975543552012-11-30T11:38:08.972-05:002012-11-30T11:38:08.972-05:00What cartman would say would be like someone whisp...What cartman would say would be like someone whispering sweet nothings in your ear compared to what the people watching there say.<br /><br />They also love to give new people help.

Interesting article - thanks ...Hi Grumpy big ears,<br /><br />Interesting article - thanks again - is about all I can say. So the actually invite is bloodly looking? :D And more for the Eric Cartman's to do (instead of calling the griefers, they are Eric Cartman - yes, I like South Park), being able to quote on your performance, heh. <i>"I so hate you guys"</i><br /><br />I like how you put that quote. It was George Santayana who first came up with it and I quote, lol <i>"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" </i>. Can't remember the book correctly, but I think it is <i>Life of Reason I</i>.<br /><br />yeah, yeah, yeah, I work at a college. His picture and quote is on my wall, but not where it is from, so I am trying to remember right. ;} <br /><br />Wish I could stay at home and play all day. :)<br /><br />Welcome to Wow (WtW)<br /><br />-roo "to be or not to be, that is the question" of the day while hunting-abhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899567485973250660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-65225623935126427562012-11-30T10:38:24.049-05:002012-11-30T10:38:24.049-05:00I was actually waiting to try to get an achievemen...I was actually waiting to try to get an achievement while BSing with people on vent but I agree with you, it is a joke. it is completely laughable and I do not know why they let something like this get from the PTR to live as is. It really shows blizzard has lost touch with the player base on some things.<br /><br />As for watching, it was quite boring. The mobs don't have a lot of life but seem to have instant kill mechanics which makes it more about reaction so I think for a PvPer like yourself you would excel at it.<br /><br />I felt bad for some people. One guy zoned in and was dead in seconds. He said, sorry, I was still loading. Not sure if he was covering for doing badly or if he was stuck in a loading screen as he was being killed. If that was the case it really sucks to be him, waiting 3 hours to die when you are in the loading screen before you even get a chance to fight.<br /><br />Also, watching all the hunters it seems like the mobs have no aggro what so ever. Either that or there were really a ton of horrible hunters in there that do not know how to MD, turn on growl or FD because every mob was sticking to all of them like white on rice.<br /><br />All in all seeing the fights was fun the first time or two you saw them but it goes boring super fast and if it were not for the people on vent keeping my company I would have never stayed as long as I did.<br /><br />Good idea done badly, the blizzard motto.<br /><br />Welcome to waitcraft. ;)TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-42770159851670255362012-11-30T09:58:52.038-05:002012-11-30T09:58:52.038-05:00PVP anon here:
