Quote from: Luminance;150645think that everyone who has the riding skill allready will have 150 skill, if not blizzard won't be a big compagnie for so long, muahaha

If you got a regular mount you will get 75 riding skill if you got an epic one you'll get 150 riding skill. So nothing will change really. The total price for riding skill + mount are still the same. The only result this change has is that buying several mounts will become cheaper.

The paladin/warlock dont have a mount. they have a spell. so i doubt they need it still.

Something else tho, with respect to the post Irulan (I think0 made about crusader not being best enchant because of buff slots... the new patch says:

'Most enchantments on items are no longer counted against the maximum limit of effects a player can have on them, so it should be much harder for a player to exceed their max limit on effects and have one be removed involuntarily.'

yay

Why did they ever have this limit in the first place? Why stop someone, if they've got all the pots and stuff, from getting every buff in the game useful to them at the same time?

because then you can't really predict performance, or guarantee it even, if a mob was spammed with 1000 debuffs there would probably be some nasty slowdown, either that or some coder just used a static array for storing buff data :/

It's because the server software was implemented that way. Probably for performance reasons and memory limitations.

I did read that they will increase the debuff limit in the expansion some time ago, but I can't remember where :unsure: .

That makes sense. Argh! Shows how long it's been since I did any programming, that using a static array didn't occur to me. Performance issues make sense too though. I keep forgetting just how much is done server-side in these games, due to the sheer number of users :biggrin:

aye, you can't set a spec for a server if a major aspect of the software has no limits, and it can help to preserve server performance if it's limited to something small. Also, maybe a part of the gameplay, like restricting raids to 40 man, 20 man or 10 man, is restricting number of buffs, since then, like choosing your classes, makes you choose your buffs

and lol@Carr0t's sig, Firefyl ftw

euhmz, so i sould wait to buy a epic mount till patch? ore should i buy it right now?

im cunfused:blink:

it really doesnt matter. you'll end up paying exactly the same.
the only difference is that in the past yu could get someone with the 20% discount to buy the mount for u, thus saving some $$. But now that the mount is a lot cheaper that doesnt help that much anymore.
