Actualy druids don't count as hybreds . If we did our swing timer would reset after casting a spell, blue has said a few times that we aren't considered hybreds, only shaman and paladins. I use a mix of gear, if you looked at my fera/pvp gear there is some +healing/dmg to spells along with +int and +spi so I can keep myself and friends alive. I have mostly +agi/sta/dodge%/armor gear though. I have a little bit of str. Druids cannot be "hyrbreds" in mass pvp. Even with my gear which has a fair amount of int spirit and mana regen on it compaired to druids that pvp I cannot be constantly shifting in and outof forms to heal that much. It's much easier for a priest to be "hybred" in pvp. Holy Priests are now viable in pvp, so you don't have to waste a good sized chunk of your mana shifting forms to heal. Druids would be a true hybred only if they didn't have to shift to use all their abilities. But we are restrcited by our form of choice. The druid form of choice in BG is Cat form. And for the record, warriors don't want lots of +defense in pvp. They want to be able to mutilate people up and consume their souls in pvp. (They want sta/str/agi/+crit%) If they wanted defense my friend would be pvping in his raiding gear.

Druid in PVP == whatever the hell he or she wants to be. Sure I personaly don't dps, but that's because I'm resto specced and the only other gear I have is for tanking and surviveing world pve. So yeah the gear might be nice for me if I had the desire to pvp that much. (which I don't). I like bearform in pvp, most druids do not. That gear is AWFULL for those poor oomkin pewpew moonfire druids (and they can do a buttload of dps when geared and played correctly). Most PVP druids do NOT want to be furry little warriors, they want to dps, and let me tell you a druid can dps very well if he gears and specs for it. The gear for pvp rank is not good for that. Cat druids need ap, agility, and stamina to be good. Str helps, but not as much as agility does because agility gives dodge armor and crit chance, and flat ap helps a druid more then str, since it takes a fair bit of str to get any form of ap on druid.

If they updated the weapons there has been no word of it. The druid update kindof blows...took away all the ap on it... Not that it matters cause I'll never be that rank on my druid. But still, it sucks for the druids that actualy pvp.

If you're a clicker. Move all those skills on the top right bar to the left side. Make it so everything you use alot is clostest to the middle/left of the screen, and make sure stuff you use in conjunction is next to each other. If you're a hotkey user, I can't help you cause I'm a noob clicker..but I pwn at hunter so meh. Put Feign Death and Frost trap right next to each other. (NOTE: FD is not working correctly most of the time right now and doesn't always remove you from combat) Or if you have the know how make a macro, there is a way to make one that will fd/trap for you I just dont know the code Edit: Here's my UI right now.

The tier system just makes me more satisfied that I kick peoples asses with Yoshi since he's apparently such a bad character to use.

I used Yoshi, basicly you just do a bunch of bycicle kicks to the sandbag. It helps if you use very short hops so that you'll do maximum damage to the bag. Try to get about 3 or 4 bycicle kicks off them do a smash attack with the baseball bat (It'll be all sparkly) And you should bet well over 1400 feet.

Everyone knows alliance is PVE easy mode. I think that the belf racial that leeches other peoples rage/energy/mana will be different depending on the class, just like the aura that draenei will have will (supposidly) differ for each class. I also think that these racials will be nerfed into the ground before burning crusade is released.

There really was a bit of an exploration and skill factor to the orignal sonic games. I'd even hazzard to say there was more to the Sonic levels then to the Mario ones because there are so many different paths you can take through them, wereas mario is just puttering from start to finish and jumping on the enemies. They aren't really much different to me gameplay wise, only you have to have slightly better reflexes and control in a sonic game to not die. For the record, everytime you get hit by something your rings fly further away and don't stick around as long, so if you're really crappy at a sonic game and get hit alot eventualy you'll be trying to hold onto that one last ring or else die. But this is a smash bros thread...so I personaly do hope to see atleast sonic knuckles and tails in the games, it's be cool to pit the mario and sonic franchise against each other. That and I'm a bit of a sonic fangirl.

That doesn't happen as much anymore with feral druids, atleast not on my server. Feral druids heal just fine and people are learning that. Maybe not quite as efficiently as a resto druid, but well enough to heal for bwl. People are also starting to accept that druids can tank instances and offtank pretty decently in raids. I have offtanked sulferon myself and I'm a restoration druid... Amazeingly enough I get to use innervate on MYSELF because our priests aren't total retards. In regards to the hunter gripe a bit further up. Track hidden is trash, it does NOT track stuff like track beasts/humanoids/ect. It improves stealth detection slightly, and if the hunter detects someone stealthed yeah there will be a dot, but as soon as you move away the dot will disapear. Track hidden has never alerted me of rogues or cats before they were already within range of stunning me, and most hunters keep their pet on defensive or passive so the pet probably won't react. A good rogue can kill a good hunter, yeah hunters have an advantage, but they are killable.

I'd do it, 60 druid...horde side. Specced 8-11-32 so I can attend raids but still pvp reasonably well. Wouldn't you guys have to list off names though we could find each other in that case? Druids name is Lorenith in that case...if I get on anyway.

PVP isn't that bad, there's three types of areas on a pvp server, friendly, contested, and enemy. In friendly territory someone of the other faction can't attack you unless you're flagged for pvp. In contested territory you're automaticly flagged and anyone can attack you (and you can attack anyone.) And in enemy territory you can't attack anyone unless they are flagged for pvp. It's not really that bad, yeah there is occasional ganking, but if you're an alert and good player it won't happen that often. (It's always fun to kill people that are trying to gank you ) On a PVE realm all territory is pretty much friendly and the other faction can't attack you unless you're flagged for pvp. (PVE means player vs environment). If you don't want to worry about being ganked on occasion play on a pve server and never type /pvp.

Sargeras is a good pvp server, it's not as balanced as it once was, but the alliance don't outnumber us horribly. It'd be nice if Horde got more players though, and horde side is fairly friendly/drama free. (Unlike the alliance side). PVP is strong, and all bg's I've played in can go either way now. (At one point horde reined surpreme, then all our "big" guilds transfered off.) I prefer it going either way myself just cause it means theres some meaning to playing the game. There is plenty of world pvp. PVE wise most guilds are playing catch up because all the big ones left in our transfer. We currently have 2 guilds hordeside that can kill nef, and several on their way. There are many large and small guilds with onyxia on farm status mc up to rag and downing him. If you want a leveling buddy I'd be willing to possibly roll something with ya...I guess a priest or actualy level my 5 rogue....

I beleive you, I'm saying it's illegal and if you report him for it enough they will eventualy look into it and terminate his account. It's the same with anything else, lots of farmers get whiped out simply because people report them enough, sure a new crop of farmers/exploiters show up within a few days, but Blizzard actualy does investigate people that cheat in the game and take action for it despite all the whineing and bitching you see people doing.

These mods he's supposidly useing should no longer work after patch 1.10, they made it so that only the default UI is allowed to use "hooks" in its code. Also, even before 1.10 they were illegal and a bannable offence. If these players have mods that allow them to play without giveing any real input to the game they might as well be botting and I have heard and seen people have their account terminated for much smaller offences.

It's from sector Y in the first starfox game actualy. Sectore Y was an awsome level, there were killer sting rays, jelly fish, and giant whales all over that part of spave, which may be why his remix was called "Obsidian Ocean". Oh yeah, to stay on topic. This song is beautifull! I love the piano.

You mentioned something about haveing trouble getting a recording....it shouldn't really be that hard, you arranged the music, just ask if you can have a copy of it being played by a band. That's what the guy that arranged music for the band I was in did. (Granted we had to pay for his services) It doesn't hurt to ask.

That's funny cause most horn parts I have seen old or not are written just like every other part, with a key signature. Sure it may be the classical way to do it, but if people wanted to do it the classical way then there probably wouldn't be "flag trumpets" with valves either, yet there you go, we've got flag trumpets with valves to play on since it's easier and more practical for general use.

I can honestly say, I totaly missed the dynamics in the score . In my defense it WAS like 4 in the morning. For the flute/piccolo just move everything up an octave (or 2). For the the trumpet part if you want to make it highschool friendly I don't think you'd have to take it down an octave, changeing the note may work. Although I can understand your reluctance to alter what is already there. All of the parts look extremely simple even for highschool band, if it wasn't for range I could probably hand this to a middle school band and ask them to play it and get a reasonable responce. If you do get the college to do this, ask them if you can get a recording of the band doing it, I want to hear what this sounds like when the saxaphones aren't makeing a hostile takeover of my eardrums.

Midiness aside, it's kind of bland and the wind part is too loud feeling to me. It feels like it should be in the background. It's really hard for me to distinguish instruments in midi. (which is funny cause it's all I have to work with myself). I play trumpet so I'll peak at the score for you. I know how to do a bit of stuff to midis if you want me to do that just pm me with the original midi file, and I'll do as much as I can for dynamics and stuff that the free version of anvil studio will let me. EDIT: Trumpet part is mostly cake.... The constant C's above the staff might be a bit much for a Highschool band though, actualy I can gurantee that they are a bit much. The tenor sax part is fine too, from what my friends have told me tenor range is a little less then trumpet (before it starts sounding shitty) The flute/piccolo part is probably a bit low though for even really good people to play unless its on like...an alto flute. I've met a single flute player that cam play from about the middle a or b of the staff and up. (If you've looked at flute music before you'll notice most of what they play is like...8+ above the staff, I have no idea how they can read that stuff.) Again not extremely feasable for a highschool band. I don't know a whole lot about low brass, but I could argue that some of the Tuba part is a bit too high to be practicle for a tuba player...especialy in highschool. At the highschool level there aren't really a lot of trumpet players able to consitently play C's above the staff and do it well. A college band might be able to do it, but if this is to stay for a highschool band you'll have to tone down a lot of parts. EDIT#2: I missed the part with Aux percussion, but if this is ment to just be a standtune you won't need Aux at all unless you means just crash symbols for the snare's to play on.

I leave my computer running for months at a time...it hasn't suffered any ill effects yet and I've had it for almost 6 years now. I'm told turning computers on and off is bad for them because it puts stress on the components with the sudden rush of electricity, they can be shorted out or something I guess. Running a computer too long might be bad if your computer generates a lot of heat I would suppose... So maybe both theories are true.... Either way, my computer takes about the same amount of time to fold a unit of 2000 as it does a unit of 100. Which is about 2ish days.

Haha this thing is cool and helpfull, I'm in.

I don't know about your server, but I'm pretty sure the Horde guild "TKT" on my server (Sargeras) has downed Nefarior without useing blessing of Salvation. That "corncob of doom" is a pretty nifty little staff.

Hey this thing is finaly up! I didn't get to hear the final iteration on the wip boards, but this is a good improvement for sure. I still think you held some of the notes out too long in the cadenza but that's just me Great work, probably the best of your creations, and very fun to listen too. I hope you keep makeing cool starfox stuff!

The time limit is also cool cause it means you won't have idiots farming for cp. It can be really bad though if you're in a group of people that don't like to work together, yesterday I came into the end of a game where everyone was just argueing, they had lost by a pretty large scale too.
