00:00.13pcji poked kirkburn if he heard anything
00:01.18g0urrayour tonight is my..night
00:08.45pcjkirkburn says "The quick answer is yes, but not sure how many public/private keys we might get yet."
00:19.14Amarandeit's going beta already?
00:19.19Amarandehmm
00:19.23kd3whistles quietly
00:19.25Amarandeanyone remember how long it's been in the past between beta and release?
00:20.02Amarandealthough the day to really avoid playing WoW is going to be the 4.0 patch day, of course
00:20.07Amarandenever play on X.0 patch day for several reasons:
00:20.16kd3s/X.0//
00:20.33Amarandea) it's patch day. everything's all laggy. b) it's patch day. half the time the shitty instance servers break down so you can't do anything big anyway.
00:20.58Amarandec) it's patch day. half of the addons you've come to get used to like they were the way WoW was designed won't work for the next couple of days at least until authors can fix them.
00:21.13pcjyou think patch day is laggy try beta
00:21.23foxlitthinks the lady does complain too much.
00:21.24Amarandepcj: I've never been lucky enough to get a beta key heh
00:21.51pcjfor wotlk i got press beta and normal beta so that was cool
00:21.51Amarandenot to mention beta is probably several months of c)
00:22.36Amarandeyeah, I know, addon authors need time to fix things
00:22.49Amarandebut ... still, when I'm forced to play wow with mainly the standard interface it makes me want to kick kittens :|
00:22.52foxlitRun fewer addons.
00:22.54foxlit:)
00:23.01pcjrun fewer crappy addons*
00:23.02foxlitOr write your own addons. That seems to work <3
00:23.08Amarandefoxlit: speaking of that
00:23.17Amarandeare we ever going to see a new edition of the wow programming book? :|
00:23.23Amarandeit's getting kind of long in the tooth in the specifics
00:23.30kd3yeah, probably
00:23.44kd3you'll want to ask cogwheel & jnwhiteh in #wowuidev for details, though
00:23.47kd3as they wrote it
00:23.53Fiskerkd3 stop stalking women
00:24.06pcjjust make your own book from wowwiki pages! *snort*
00:24.13Fiskerwhy so beta hungry btw?
00:24.24pcjhttp://www.wow.com/2010/04/07/world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-press-beta-invites-going-out/
00:24.30pcji just didn't want to get shafted
00:24.32kd3meh, beta crashiness was fun. alpha server crap was way more fun
00:24.36Amarandeas for running fewer addons ... there's really only a few things I tend to *really have to have* in addons to be happy
00:24.39Fiskeryou'd think that these keys were only for people who did an effort towards their site instead of just having the users do all the work
00:24.41Fisker>:3
00:24.55Amarandehowever, these few things usually, for various reasons tend to require me to acquire about ten or fifteen extra addons
00:25.21pcjthe best part about the early part of the last beta was missing floors in dalaran
00:25.38Amarandethe most glaring being that since I usually have six action bars on screen at once (not counting pet, stance, etc. bars) ... my screen real estate already takes a pretty big hit
00:25.42kd3oh yah. "ooh, barber shop" --> "splat in crystalsong"
00:25.55Amarandethus, making it impossible to entertain the idea of using a standard blizzard rep or exp bar.
00:26.20pcjoh and the random no-flight zones
00:26.22Amarandetherefore, I end up needing Bazooka, and a rep and xp addon to be around and working in order to not need the blizzard ones ...
00:26.24Fiskeratleast you could get out of that kd3
00:26.27pcjlike most of howling fjord
00:26.37Fiskerreagent shop = splat behind bars in the sewers bank
00:26.46Amarandewith Bazooka, since it's at the top of the screen and overwrites the minimap location/title bar in the default
00:26.49kd3<3 being a mage
00:26.53Amarandethen I need another addon, in order to be able to move the minimap
00:26.57kd3ok... one portal to dalaran from coming up!
00:27.04Amarandeand of course QH is an indispensable unless all you do is instances ...
00:27.14Amarandewell, or unless you have an eidetic memory
00:27.22Amarandeand I can't stand standard blizzard unit frames so I need my xperl
00:27.27Fiskeri can only bubble hs :(
00:27.57Amarandeother than that, prat, arkinventory, auctioneer, and Aranarth's guild/friends broker addon are pretty much my 'essentials'
00:27.59pcjmy hs was always on cooldown
00:28.01FiskerLast beta was funny though kd3
00:28.05Amarandewell that and some sort of widget to provide a "sell greys" button
00:28.08Fiskerthere was this stupid paladin loladin or something
00:28.11Fiskerhe was a freaking joke
00:28.16Amarandeand atsw, and atlasloot ...
00:28.21Amarandeok, I tend to feel the need for quite a number of addons.
00:28.27Fiskeri wonder if i knew him or something
00:28.27Fiskeri sure hope not
00:28.31Amarandeand when they don't work, I tend to be extremely unhappy.
00:28.33Fisker>:3
00:28.58kd3ama; then you really wouldn't like F&F alphas
00:29.06kd3they took away our ability to run mods
00:29.17Fiskergood thing they're gone then ;3
00:29.28kd3which is where [[User:Kaydeethree/Macros]] came from
00:29.47Amarandelet's see, what do I have installed right now
00:30.29foxlit"Amarande: are we ever going to see a new edition of the wow programming book? :|" << there is one out.
00:30.48foxlitThey're on second edition of the new book now, iirc.
00:30.54Fiskerthat's like a few weeks/months old
00:31.05Amarandearl, atsw, arkinventory, atlasloot, auctioneer, bartender4, bazooka, molinari, omen, prat, quartz, QH, SCT, sell grey, sexymap, statblock_coords, tiptac, xperl, and a couple other addons (mainly Ara's guild/friends, rep, and xp addons, which aren't available through Curse Client)
00:31.17foxlitWhich is recent enough in API terms.
00:32.26AmarandeI could live without ARL, Molinari, or SCT. If Auctioneer stopped working I'd probably stop selling stuff on the AH till it was fixed. If Atlasloot stopped working, I'd grit my teeth and alt-tab a lot. Without any of the other ones I'd find things a lot less fun.
00:33.00Fiskerwhich isn't recent enough in API terms as far as auctioneer is concerned, BOOM
00:33.29Amarandeyeah, every patch seems to include "& break random things in the addon API, because we're sadists or something" as an unwritten addendum
00:33.41AmarandeI think the most egregious example of that was 2.4.1 or 2.4.2
00:33.59Amarande"let's release this super minor patch that *happens to break half the major active addons out there*"
00:34.19foxlitFisker: meh, auctioneer noticed something?
00:34.33Amarandewhich probably pissed people off more than normal because, well, you expect things to break on X.0.0 or even X.Y.0, but you usually don't expect things to break on a third-tier version change :S
00:34.40foxlitI thought auction api changes were non-breaking additions.
00:34.53AmarandeI think *something's* changed with the AH though
00:35.05AmarandeAuctioneer told me I was putting auctions up for 48 hours last night when I was putting stuff up
00:35.06foxlitAmarande: the unit frame mod I wrote for during the run-up to BC still works.
00:35.14Amarandethen this afternoon they're already merely "long", meaning 2-12 hours
00:35.25Amarandewhich means apparently they were only put up for 24, despite my UI claiming 48 :|
00:35.39Amarandedid they change it back to 2/12/24 instead of 12/24/48 like it had been for a while?
00:35.55Fiskerbecause of the new AH interface
00:35.55Fiskernope
00:35.55FiskerAfter the changes all auctions were posted with the default AH time
00:35.55Fisker24 hours
00:35.55Fisker^^
00:35.56Fiskerno
00:36.14Amarandeoh, they took away the option to set auction length at all?
00:36.21FiskerI wouldn't know, but i'd figure that the function changed, and because of the incorrect parameters it probably just assumed default values
00:36.26Fiskernope :P
00:36.31FiskerStill 12/24/48
00:36.36FiskerBut the default is 24
00:36.42AmarandeI wonder if I was charged the 48 hour price when I got those 24's :|
00:36.55FiskerAs far as i heard they already fixed it in the newer version
00:37.00foxlitThat's one thing that couldn't have happened.
00:37.19Fiskerwhat is?
00:43.35pcjwow that was a very interesting e-mail from kirkburn
00:43.43pcjexpect an update from him in the forums tomorrow

00:53.22ArrowmasterAmarande: what broke in 2.4.1 and 2.4.2?
00:54.04Arrowmasteri dont recall any major changes then
00:54.15AmarandeArrowmaster: one of them broke practically everything that used the combat log
00:54.27Arrowmasterthat was 2.4.0
00:54.37Arrowmasterbecause the entire combat log system changed
00:56.38kd3^
00:57.34Arrowmasterand everybody knew it was happening long in advance and the PTR was up for a very long time because it was a major content patch with a new raid dungeon
