Kronos Scourge invasion

The Kronos Scourge invasion is on us and I couldn't resist giving it a look. Which means logging on, getting the 2x quest items from my mailbox (one of which is bugged and shouldn't have been sent) and running to the Eastern Plaguelands... Where I could clearly see a skull by browsing the world map yet couldn't find any flying ziggurat or scourge crystals. Also one of the Scourge invasion questgivers had a ? question mark even though I didn't have his quest (I couldn't complete it anyway). On Oct 6th I was told we had already killed 25 "waves" of scourge.

Good news is that I did end up finding the crystals in the Burning Steppes. And quite some bit of Alliance farming them (are you stacking oils for Naxxramas?).

Luckily most of them focused on the scourge and not on me. As described in a bugreport, I did not see any necropolis flying in the sky. All scourge creatures are missing their money loot. Killing scourge creatures does lead to flying spells hitting the crystal (which cannot be selected... but probably should) but it also keeps me in combat because reasons.

90% of what happens during this invasion

Scourge minions melee hit me for roughly 70/hit (reduced), which would mean 88/hit or so unreduced, which looks too low. Doesn't seem to be much for me with this event unfortunately... maybe I will farm some for reputation until revered (that'd mean less arcane crystals to buy).

Unfair world, mages can kill 50 or so of those in 20 seconds. Say hello to vanilla.

I have yet to see some scourge in Undercity and couldn't find a group to fight a Shadow of Doom. It's interesting to see how this event seems very small and unimportant to me now yet felt much different back in 2006.

... On a 100% unrelated note my roughly 2 years old report about Gahz'ranka's slam hitting for roughly 10x too much damage is now #confirmed, yey!

Thinking about Kronos unknown long-term future

I have been wondering for some time about the Kronos vanilla server future. More specifically, what will happen to it in the long-term (months/years) when it will reach the last vanilla patch, with Naxxramas released?

From what I can remember, a large amount of players complained on Blizzard's servers when there were no patch or updates for a long time (with the caveat that patches were expected). Is this what will happen? Would players organize events or something to keep new things happening?

Are there going to be players so over-geared with best in slots items that premades will once again cause troubles in Battlegrounds? The difference between new and old players in PvP will be even greater than it has been before. What will happen if this is the case? Special queues for premades, just like Blizzard did with twink players that have decided to stop getting experience gains?

How about bind on equip items coming from high-level raids? The more players raid Naxxramas, AQ and BWL, the cheaper the epic items coming from those raids will become, as will epic crafted items. At some point, from a gear point of view, Molten Core or Ahn'Qiraj 20man can be skipped. Is this a problem for new players? Are we going to see a decline in people running some raids?

When players have the best items and mounts, what do they then spend their gold on? Are we going to see some players with so massive amounts of gold that they could get a monopoly over large parts of the Auction House? Will this raise prices to a large extent instead of seeing them go down?

With all those players with max-profession skills, will the price of Moonclothes, Transmutes and Refined Deeprock Salt go down due to large amounts of alt-moneymaking-machines?

Are PvE players going to quit once done with Naxxramas and all previous raids? Will they continue until all their characters have all possible best-in-slots? What will keep them motivated to run AQ40 again for the 40th time?

With all the PvP players already having a Warlord title, is it going to lose its prestige? Are PvP players going to lose interst in trying to get it? Will they keep doing PvP ? For how long?

Assuming Kronos continues to stand up among the constant chaotic activity of WoW private servers, I will certainly be very happy to follow how things go on. *Curiosity*

13 August 2016 - Kronos WoW opens the Silithus doors

A random poppup message on Facebook informed me today that the Ahn'Qiraj doors were finally OPEN! Which means I rushed on my char to see things by myself, I've missed this occasion once, not gonna miss it again. I am so happy this is finally over considering how long it took. From what I understand a slight delay happened due to Fireblooms not being possible to give to the War Effort right near the end. Anyway, we're there!

Unfortunately I had to come all the way from Orgrimmar and the gong had already been hit by the time I arrived in Silithus. A nice crystal welcomed me near the flightmaster and also my friend lag, which was all over the place, but still very much playable. Interestingly two of the people I interviewed in the past were there, A* and Pussochkram, I like to see people that have stayed for so long.

I ran to the gates and noticed Alliance players running all over the place, with a couple Horde, crafty anubisath and silithids playing around, which basically killed everyone in rampage mode, I did not see a single one get tanked correctly by a group and I couldn't access the gong as the Alliance was camping it. Apparently some guys got to hit and kill the colossus from the hives as I could get all those quests from Cenarion Hold. Free loot :D (or bug, perhaps)

Interestingly there were Qiraj destroyers and anubisath spawning past the Ahn'Qiraj gates that stayed in evade mode (you could go through them and not get aggro) until they had made a full group and rushed to attack Silithus. I wanted to go into the Ruins but it told me that it was currently closed (isn't it supposed to be open now?). I didn't see Roman'khan, Setis & General Pax-lish anywhere.

Black Qiraj Battle Tank owners from what I could see :

• Worstworrier (Eclipse, Alliance)
• Swagkhalifa (Friends, Horde)
• Khano (Onslaught, Horde)
• Bagdemagus (Friends, Horde)
• Jellyschool (Onslaught, Horde)

And likely a lot more.

I decided to log on my alt and look for low level crystals, found a single one in the Crossroads, but it wasn't spawning anything. No silithids, no minor annubisaths. I didn't see the crystals that should spawn silithids in Silithus (see this, I had noticed those on my Vanilla WoW video depository) either. Maybe a realm restart is needed, hopefuly it doesn't reduce the duration of this world-event as one of the goals of those silithids is to bring great loot to everyone! That crystal only mind-controled some level 18 guy and got him killed. Now that was unexpected to me ^^.

I couldn't see the expected crystals south of Gadgetzan either so maybe spawns are missing, spawning randomly or should only spawn after some time, I don't know. My understanding from videos was that all crystals spawned at once in the world.

Now, I did notice a qiraj spawn crystal (level 30-40) in the Thousand Needles, so I went there. Captains and anubisath had great rare and uncommon loot rate (about one uncommon and rare per kill), as expected but were missing their money. Scarabs (trash) respawned roughly every minute and hit for 100, Captains every 10 minutes or so and hit for 200, Anubisath respawned after 15-20 minutes, hit for 350, all were crowd-controllable. I don't recommend trying to solo them at their level and alone, they do hit for a bit. Mainly melee damage, with a couple abilities (charge, slow, stun, resistances). Farming them at level 60 could be interesting for some little money but prices will likely fall with all those crystal spawns. This got me roughly 25 uncommon level 30+ items and 7 rares in 30 minutes of solo as a level 60 warlock. Rare items are pretty much always the same unfortunately (small pool, roughly 10 rare items per qiraj).

Okay, apparently it is much easier to find those farming spots by using the Twinhead database and looking for their spawns, like this. Do I always have to break the fun with logic? At least not all the spawns are up yet.

*Quick edit 14.08.2016 : C'thun killed by 3 alliance guilds already (Synced, Risen, Vanguard) on the day the raid was opened, congratulations to them all!

Unrelated : Black lotus now 88-100 gold? Interesting price increase...
Unrelated 2 : Goldsellers are now advertising with rebus? Wut?

Update - 28.07.2016 - Kronos

Update : 28.07.2016

I did play a bit on retail World of Warcraft with my locked account and my dear level 20 characters. I like some Legion pre-patch changes like the automaticaly displayed health bars and transmog improvements but otherwise it is still the same and apparently I'm still not good at stopping myself from doings things I might not like (ie: killing myself repeatedly to get the Feat of Strength). I will probably play Legion a bit on my holy paladin, but I will be pretty busy with work and my current project. Mythic dungeons I hope you will finally give me an easy way to have raid content without all the messy planning required for 10-man raids!

I still do not have plans to play vanilla WoW again and I achieved my goal of not looking much for Kronos news. Apparently the population is quite stable, stability issues mostly fixed and I didn't notice much difference on the forums and Reddit thread in terms of discussion topics (too calm?). Upon relogging I could still find many players from the Friends guild that I knew, which is quite reassuring and a good sign to me. I wonder how the goldselling activities are faring, didn't hear about them. I still have access to all my characters, they still have all their gear, a bit of gold is missing but I don't care as I technicaly gave my account away. My chinese friend seems to have been quite trustable. Interestingly Tekai is now an officer in Horde Time (chinese guild) and, as I had predicted long ago, the War Effort is only at 96% with Purple lotuses, Fireblooms and Silk bandages missing (told ya those spawns, dynamic spawntimes and droprates would be an issue). That's 5 months of War Effort (for comparison, the fastest realm on retail needed around 19 days and over 90% of realms had completed it after 3 months).

Otherwise I love the harbingers videos, to me they are a great way to convey a story with few words, not too many effects and gorgeous pictures. Hopefully one day I'll be able to do something like that.

And... I have started drawing a different humoristic comic called The Science of Cookies, which is about cookies (obviously), but also the scientific process, health and social research, peer-review, cognitive biases, fallacies, ways to obtain scientific articles, social media issues and much more. It is written in french but an english translation is available for most stories on the comments section below. I don't yet know how it will fare but I am having a blast working on it, I'll thus continue to do so :D !

Farewell.

2nd time leaving

I haven't been writing recently due to lack of interest in the game overall. I fear that I no longer know the current Kronos community and team anymore. Raiding and interacting with the community was what I liked most and I see myself not doing that much anymore (I also ponder about that unending War Effort). It all has become... different. That or I am finding excuses for leaving. Likely a mixture of both.

Regardless, getting another 1000 gold on Tekai by selling bloodvines at off-hours for high prices, programming an english< >chinese translator addon and starting a Mooncloth-making level 35 alts scheme was interesting and leveling a shaman kept things fresh for some time. Trying different things definitely is a good idea when you get tired of the old routine.

That and getting a raptor mount by making profit disenchanting War Effort supplies after some Runecloth turn-ins.

But sometimes you have to go a different way. I feel like this is a good time for that. I would love to try and go do health related illustrations & comics, so that's what I will be doing in the near future.

I had a lot of fun playing with chinese-talking players recently and have thus decided to share/give my account with a dear friend of mine among those, who is enthusiastic about the game and plays frequently. I don't know what will happen to my characters and that's fine, they had a good life. In the end critics of my friendship with the East were correct, they did get my account, although they won it the good way. :)

Selling Banktekai, my level 60 hunter was a good idea. I got another level 60 druid, a 29 druid and a 32 priest for its price and still have 600 or so Stars. Every now and then great deals show up in the character auction house like level 40 chars for 200 stars, an incredible opportunity to play something different.

I might come back for Legion and/or try out vanilla realms if Blizzard launches them sometime, only future will tell.

Travel safe and may you find meaning in what you do,

Tekai

Selling my level 60 hunter for Twinstar stars

Leveling my hunter, Banktekai to level 60 has been a lot of fun for me, I did my last 30 levels during the one-time experience bonus event this year, with a very relaxed attitude, I didn't rush anything, I really did it the slow and steady way. It was incredible, as if a completely different experience than my experience with Tekai (my first level 60 character and main, a warlock).

The last dungeon Banktekai did, with some chinese players. Unfortunately we couldn't go past the low-health dwarves before the King.

Unfortunately, while this taught me that I love leveling hunters in vanilla (and dislike leveling warlocks) I also found out that playing a hunter at level 60 isn't for me, I just can't get to like the playstyle, again I find myself auto-attacking most of the time and I feel like I don't have much responsibility or use in raids and dungeons (although off-tanking and kiting are nice bonuses). Surely I am not very good at it, but regardless, I can't connect with the class.

Luckily Twinstar allows players to sell their characters for stars. This means that I have the opportunity to sell Banktekai and buy some other classes, which I might like more, without having to level them again. Or I could buy a couple level 35 characters to use as arcanite/mooncloth making mules.

I was initially quite skeptical of the process, do players really buy those characters? Am I going to make a substantial amount of stars by selling it? How much do I sell my character for? Am I not losing my hunter in the process?

Current level 60 character prices on the Twinstar auction house.

I started making some comparisons. Level 60 characters had prices varying from 6000 to 25000 (maximum possible), roughly an average of 8000 stars for a character. I knew my hunter had only green level 50+ items (not very interesting), 300/300 alchemy and 300/300 herbalism (fairly easy and not worth a lot to level, but nice to make some gold) as such I considered it was worth around the average. I put it for sale for 7500-8000 stars, after 4 days I had to put it again, but this time for 7000-7500 stars and someone bought it. I now have 7125 stars. Considering how fast it was sold I guess its worth was a bit over what I got from it, but that's okay for me as I wasn't playing it anyway.

Interestingly assuming players buy your characters, it means that to buy a level 60 you should sell about 7x level 20 characters (average price around 800-1000). Joana did it in 10 hours on her hunter, so this would mean roughly 3 days of /played total, that's much less than what most players need to get to level 60. Just an idea.

I don't know what to think of this yet but I am very happy at the opportunities I now have to start over on another class. And apparently players do buy characters every now and then.

Kronos satisfaction questionnaire - 20th February 2016

On the 28th January 2016 I sent a satisfaction questionnaire to 140 randomly selected Horde characters* that had been seen online in the last 7 days (about 8% of the Horde population seen in the last 7 days back then**). I haven't received any further answer since over 10 days and have thus decided to end the questionnaire. A total of 36 players participated (25.7%).

Note that this questionnaire was started before the experience event aiming at making the server more known and increasing the population was known and announced and most answers arrived before it started. This means most of those players have been on Kronos for some time. Full data [here].

Results

Overall satisfaction

8.92 on 10 

(13 answers)

PvE satisfaction

8,96 on 10 

(25 answers)

PvP satisfaction

5,81 on 10 

(29 answers)

33,33% of the players said they would recommend Kronos to a friend. None said they would not.

(12 "yes" answers)

Strengths or things to keep
The rate at which content is delivered is good enough
Tickets get fast answers
The PvE and scripts are good, bugs are mostly minor

Weaknesses or things to work on
The population is too low overall and for PvP / BGs.
There are still bugs that should be fixed (pathing, zepelins for Mac users, spawning)
The server is not yet known enough and there could be more server promotion

(31 answers)

*60 x level 60, 20x level 50-59, 20x level 40-49, 20x level 30-39, 20x level 20-29
**Back when I sent the questionnaire there had been over 3500 level 20+ characters online in the last 7 days, or about 1750 Horde characters according to the Kronos-census. 140/1750 = 8%.
