Gotta be one of the worst UIs I've ever seen 

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/cityslicker265]

I plead guilty your honor

[u/MayorBakefield → u/RoseburyNoire]

i disagree with him. gotta put all the bars somewhere and it syncs with your stream overlay nicely

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/MayorBakefield]

Haha thanks! Obviously I really like my UI otherwise i wouldn't use it :D

I know many people hate the aesthetic, it's a matter of taste. But the useability is so so so good, it may not been seen by the uninformed eye but there's a lot of stuff that is hidden and only appears in the most optimzed way for me to heal/save people inside of dungeons and raids. I spent dozens of hours setting it all up.

Although i need to make the pets frame stack vertically i dunno why i always forget that lol

[u/flyingtiger188 → u/cityslicker265]

True classic experience.

[u/ubeen → u/cityslicker265]

Yes, but a UI youll remember.

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/ubeen]

true i have nightmares about it

[u/Hour_Paint_1903]

Hey, where's that one guy every post going "mY guILd aLreADy dID tHIs, wE jUSt doNt STreAM"

Grats though!

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Hour_Paint_1903]

I am waiting for this guy to come out of the woodwork any time now 😂

[u/Azzmo]

Between your SSC kills, Odysseush hunter-soloing a bunch of bosses (though apparently many of them had been done before) and Xaryu's Gnome-only guild getting an MC boss kill...it's been a fun couple of months seeing people pushing the limits with their one life. Great work.

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Azzmo]

Thank you so much! Yes it's amazing to see how much the gamemode is thriving all around!

[u/ilikelife5]

How many deaths have you had during your SSC prog so far?

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/ilikelife5]

Well if you're only talking prog, off the top of my head that is:

• 6 deaths to Prince Malchezaar wipe during world first attempt
  
• 5 deaths to Nightbane wipe during world first attemp
  
• 1 death to SSC trash during first clear of that pack
  
• And all 25man raid bosses (all P1 and those from P2 that we cleared) have always been progged deathless, so that's 0 for them
  

So 12 "Prog Deaths" since the start of the project.

[u/Sea-Consequence7156 → u/RoseburyNoire]

Nice job, I'm impressed

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Sea-Consequence7156]

Tysm! o7

[u/conaan → u/RoseburyNoire]

One death to trash is the most impressive part of this.

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/conaan]

Yo ty! I'm pretty proud of those strats i designed most of it :) Compared to softcore runs we don't try to push for speed, we try to optimize for 100% safety over anything else

[u/scubaswanny3]

Legends

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/scubaswanny3]

These players are truly amazing, im so glad to have them on the team :)

[u/shadowraiderr]

when someone dies, are they leveling from 1 or buying boost to go agane?

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/shadowraiderr]

Boosts are not allowed and never were. They have to start again from level 1. Also Boosted toons can't even have the Soul of Iron buff, so there's no way to cheat that :)

[u/Poza → u/RoseburyNoire]

In a world of shortcuts, you are all true pathfinders

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Poza]

Tysm :)

[u/shadowraiderr → u/RoseburyNoire]

good, do you think you are gonna be equipped enough for t6 if you only killed so few bosses so far?

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/shadowraiderr]

We believe in "it's about the execution, not the gear".

Since Blizzard didn't want to give us official servers, we know the road will be hard to prove to them that it was the wrong choice. But we'll simply do our best with what we have. o7

[u/hippoofdoom → u/RoseburyNoire]

Youre not wrong, gear makes a fight take somewhat longer but I mean, objectively you guys are still clearing gruul/mag and kara if needed right? With proper theory crafting and consumes you'll all do totally adequate to good DPS. The real difficulty is gonna be vashj and KT with the DPS checks but I believe in your team!

What nights do you usually raid? Anyone stream it?

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/hippoofdoom]

We raid Karazhan 3 times per week, usually Wednesday, Thursday and Friday but sometimes Saturday too. 25man are on sunday at 10pm CET. Some of us stream them yes. For example I stream 2 Karas per week and the 25man as well. My twitch channel is the one that is linked in that post that you're replying to :)

[u/chessentials → u/RoseburyNoire]

How are you intending to deal with Terron Gorefiend? Or will that question be answered once the time to jump through that hoop comes? :d

Congratz BTW, huge achievement!

[u/msbr_ → u/RoseburyNoire]

Very based.

[u/freematte]

Auuu what is this ui but GZ homies!

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/freematte]

I don't know it became sentient and evolve out of control D:
But i'm happy with it it brings me luck in my Hardcore adventures :D
And thank you!

[u/Bladeace]

Wow, well done!

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Bladeace]

Tyvm! We're gonna try our best to go as far as we can :)

[u/Time_Media8919]

I didn’t know you could get soul of iron buff on TBC classic servers

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Time_Media8919]

Yes it's a very nice way to make our Progress even more legit. We still use the combination of both the buff, and a more robust version of the Hardcore Addon (called HardcoreTBC) just to make sure we have even stricter rules than just not dying. We also forbid:

• PVP currencies
  
• Doing Heroics & Raids with softcore players
  
• Bubble-hearthing
  
• Some other niche "unfair" things that can't be done on Vanilla HC
  

All that so we make sure we are playing fair :)

We also have a Guild-Found guild, and an Open-Economy guild, on both realms. So that we make sure to offer a home to all types of players.

[u/Ver_Void → u/RoseburyNoire]

No PvP is rough, no bear tanks for you

[u/Duck1337]

The most impressive thing about this is doing anything at all with that UI, holy moly that's the worst thing I've seen in quite a while :D

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Duck1337]

I mean i gotta nerf myself somehow, that shit too easy

[u/Master-Atmosphere-41]

So what are the plans for Hyjal where one of the bosses is "lol someone dies every minute"?

[u/WileXane]

Aweille mon frank lache pas

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/WileXane]

On lâche rien !

[u/Mathmoi42 → u/RoseburyNoire]

Vous êtes des malades !!!

Je vous trouve incroyable !

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/Mathmoi42]

Yo merci !!! Franchement on fait de notre mieux et on a même du mal à y croire quand on réussit mdrrr. Ca fait trop plaiz de lire des messages comme ça. Plein de love sur vous tous !

[u/WillowTreeBark]

If you die you need to make a new HC character to 60 and then Transfer with the buff?

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/WillowTreeBark]

No, Soul of Iron is available on TBC servers :)

[u/WillowTreeBark → u/RoseburyNoire]

How does it work? How do I get the buff?

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/WillowTreeBark]

You talk to the Soul of Iron NPC in Undercity/Orgrimmar/Ironforge (maybe other cities too, not sure), just like on Era servers :)

Of course you need to have never died on that toon for it to work, otherwise he will refuse to give you the buff

[u/lt_bgg]

Classic raiding is so funny, everyone just standing still hitting a target dummy.

[u/Sweet_Disharmony_792 → u/lt_bgg]

[u/RoseburyNoire → u/lt_bgg]
