Tigole on the DEBUFF limit & rogues in SM

Lenardo · 01-06-2005, 08:58 AM

Regarding the SM farming question -- Yes, we're aware of what's going on and are currently deciding which solution to move foward with.

As for the WC in combat bug, I think I know what's causing that and I'll try to get it fixed today. I'm guessing there are Serpentbloom snakes or Biletoads aggro somewhere in the dungeon.

The 8 slot debuff limit -- that's also on our list and will be addressed in the near future.

the wc combat bug IS the biletoads and the serpentbloom snakes BTW no ifs ands or buts about it.

Someone got a link to this question? Thottbot isn't helping atm, and searching the actual WoW boards makes my eyes bleed.

There has been talk of Rogues using stealth to sneak by large amounts of content in SM, farm the bosses, and then go outside, group-and-ungroup, and their instance has reset. Are there any plans to change how dungeons reset? Or can you tell us?

Any class can walk past a vast majority of SM spawns at high levels.

I think the main complaint is that rogues can do it at lvl 40, though with the amount of bitching about paladins getting free mounts I don't know how bit a deal it is.

ex-genj · 01-06-2005, 12:19 PM

wtf would a level 40 rogue do in SM solo? What a 60 rogue do in SM? Farm all the nodrop loot? Who cares.

Zul`Farrak also has the gay "In Combat" bug.

Mippo · 01-06-2005, 01:08 PM

It's not like they weren't warned in beta.

I used mind soothe as a priest to do the same thing in SM.

The nice thing about when I do it vs. the rogue method is that my group doesn't have to be all stealthing classes.

Simply because that it's almost 3gp / hour for any 42+ rogue soloing Doan. With poisons his fight becomes very simple.

Hypnotic Blade = 1 Gold 27 Silver 83 Copper
Illusionary Rod = 1 Gold 59 Silver 24 Copper

Game breaking? Hardly.

Sodami · 01-06-2005, 03:01 PM

I have heard of some getting up to 50gp an hour farming SM and resetting the instance, not sure if that is at all true or not.

What is the farming rate for level 60s if that is their only goal? For comparison.

Torrid · 01-06-2005, 04:21 PM

That 50g an hour quote is bullshit.

It's more like 12g an hour at level 60, which is the same amount of cash I can make slaughtering low greens in some other zone. I do SM just because is it less mind numbing.

They already nerfed instance reseting. In order for me to reset the instance, I either need to two-box or have several ungrouped friends online at the time. Even then you can't just farm only doan. There seems to be a limit as to how many instances you can be associated with.

Destinae · 01-06-2005, 04:56 PM

I was making 15-20g an hour farming humanoids depending on how many green items dropped, more when I turned the runecloth into bags and AH'd them. I haven't heard of anyone making much more than that except for the ooze quest in felwood that got fixed last patch (somewhere around 30g for that).

Farming Doan and Herod is less gold than that, and I'd think the majority of the rogues in SM are raising lockpicking and pickpocketing the whole zone, which slows down the amount of gold you make, like I was when I was messing around in SM.
