Forums please stop setting any new thread I reply on to ‘Tracking’

I don’t WANT it to be tracking…

You can change that in your settings if you haven’t already.

The bit of Jedi: Survivor I’ve managed to play was good.
Better start than Fallen Order, though some characters needed a bit more time on screen.

Trying to complete the mission where you have to finish off the O’Driscolls together with Sadie on gold, but no matter what I do, I just cannot seem to do it on gold, either too slow or cause one cheeky bugger manages to get damage in on me… getting real tired of this damn mission :frowning:

Apparently the PC port is not good (rated very badly on Steam currently) performance wise, so steam-heads may wish to hold off on a buy until they patch it up a bit.

I’m not running it on high settings because, yeah not great.
There was a patch a few hours ago which has apparently improved things, but it still needs a bit of love.

He’s right. Can’t believe someone would want to murder these true and honest Stratholmian civilians.

Nah, the way it’s depicted outside of the Caverns of Time dungeon in actual lore is that Arthas sent his troops to cull Stratholme before they turned.

There’s a letter from the Naxxramas and Wrath pre-patch that describes the experience of a desertor from Arthas’ army that goes about it.


Dearest Amelia,

Tonight I have seen things that will haunt me to the end of time.

Stratholme is aflame… and we are responsible.

Our Prince led us into the streets of the city tonight; he ordered us to break into the homes of the townspeople and… kill them in their sleep. They were plagued, claimed Lord Arthas, and had to be killed before they killed us.

It was a slaughter. Hundreds died silently to the swords of those sworn to protect them. I could stand it no longer; I fled.

Deserter I may be, but I could not commit such atrocities. In every home I could not help but see your face, or those of our children, upon the victims as they died. If standing against that means being a traitor, then so be it.

I hope to find my way back to you in time, but the roads are unsafe. Give our children my love in my absence.

James


The entire thng with Stratholme that is missed by this developer’s comments is that whatever Arthas did, it was already too late for anything to matter. Arthas tried his best, but by the time Stratholme happens, Lordaeron was doomed no matter what he did.

I mean, that’s not how it plays out in the WC3 map, so idk about that. You knock down a building, it spits out civvies and if you don’t kill them fast enough they turn into zombos who immediately attack you. If you let Mal’Ganis handle it he teleports them away.

The letter quoted is a retcon of what we saw in WC3.

yeah and if we go by what warcraft 3 says if i hit a building with a warhammer 4 times a building is set on fire

It’s a really good hammer.

Or a really bad building.

ok yeah true

Highly unrelated to all this, but the villain rabbit hole goes even deeper. While Wizards of the Coast might’ve not been the ones that handled that Magic: The Gathering “leak”, it most likely has been Robin M. Klimek instead, who is the Director Security Risk Management of Hasbro (WoTC’s parent company), who is an actual ex-Pinkerton himself.

Ao3 asked for $50k in donations roughly 16 hours ago.
So far $131k have been donated

People sure a thirsty.

The times they set for some of these missions are really strange.
Some you can manage to time by playing normally, others you have to basically install a nitro on your horse.

In this particular case, Hanging Dog was also slightly bugged because it spawned not just the enemies of the mission but also the O’Driscolls that are around there when you are in free roam. And if you reset the mission, the timer did not reset either.

I eventually managed to find a way around it by immedeatly killing myself at the start of the mission so that only the normal amount of enemies spawned and I finally managed to do it.

But indeed, the timers aswell as the “take no damage” are the worst ones :frowning:

Either way, they were still conscious people. :<

But.

Knowing I was infected, I would much rather be taken out by Arthas’ bonker and go straight to the afterlife than being trapped in my corpse until it’s entirely fallen apart. Although I suppose it’s easy for me to say, not being an expendable in a plagued fictional city.

Kinda want that bug for when I go do the mission because I don’t really care about the gold… but shooting extra O’Driscolls? Sure. Gimme.

Up next: People accusing each other of having early stage rabies and shooting each other.

Uhm, ASCHKUALLY :nerd:

when they step out of the houses they get a sleep effect (denoted by a :zzz: over their heads) and don’t respond to being choppity bonked by Arthas and his troops.

Also maybe human infrastructure is just really easy to burn (see also: Zul in Stormwind).
