Random Question Thread

[Khelek]

I just started playing around some on warrior again after a break, but I can't seem to find any good EJ thread on fury and arms gearing/talents/stat weights/etc. The only thing I can find are two threads with no main post, just a ton of pages to wade through. Anyone know where I could find a good summary (in the same vein as the EJ prot thread) for fury and arms?

[Correction]

Wait isn't there a catch-all thread for warriors on EJ?

Seems to cover most of the basics quite well. The individual threads cover topics like BiS, trinkets, etc.

Nice ty. Must've overlooked that thread based on it's name.

So my WoW stopped asking me for an authenticator coe but my battle net still asks for it. What's up with that?

Battle.net Authenticator Changes

This change is being made to make the authenticator process less intrusive when we’re sure the person logging in to your account is you.

We hope to continue improving the authenticator system to ensure the same or greater security, while improving and adding features to make having one a more user friendly experience. If you don’t already have a Battle.net Authenticator attached to your account, don’t wait until it’s too late - http://us.battle.net/en/security/checklist

oh thank fuck, i got home and logged in and thought my account had been compromised for 1 minute. logged in and mah gold ect hadnt moved so i wtf'd, checked battle.net and everything then came here to ask

whew

[Boyiee]

Yeah it is pretty convenient, although I'm so used to typing my code in that I usually have it ready to go before I log in. Twice already I started typing my authenticator code on the character select screen cause I didn't realize it had skipped authentication lol.

Pretty retarded if they don't add an opt-out for that "feature"

Question on feral druids, should I be using vicious pvp gear for the huge jump in Agi or should I grab some ZA/ZG gear for feral? It just seems that AGI is a huge stat for the class so as much as I can get the better. Any insights?

Unless you're trying to keep your real life friends away from your account, why in hell are you against this?

[aurik]

There's plenty of good reasons why someone might want to authenticate every time. And, seeing as it would be a stupidly simple thing to add -- checkbox somewhere in account management that causes the system to skip the "match IP = bypass authentication" check -- they would be dumb not to add it.

But hey Blizzard is pretty dumb.

IPs can be spoofed really easily.

Like?

For one, I route my shit to Blizzard through proxy, that means anyone using the same proxy as me appears to be coming from the same IP.

But as I said, there's a lot of good reasons. This is just one.

It just work one way. They wouldnt be able to connect to WoW if they were spoofing your IP

First of all, why do you play WoW using a [public] proxy? Wouldnt it slow your connection to a point where the game is unplayable.

But yeah, if someone is trying to hack you using the same proxy, and that proxy is using the same static address for everyone all the time (unlikely), there is a chance that you're right.

But let's face it, this shit isn't going to happen. The logistic of setting this up and finding keylogged players who use public proxy to play wow would be too hard, and the odds someone make profit out of that is abyssal.

Go ahead and list the rest.

I think you give the people who like to steal accounts too little credit on the steps they will take to acquire accounts.
