If you're going to provide a "Blizz-like experience" it needs to be refined quite a bit. It's been 8 years since WotLK was introduced into retail WoW. I think it's safe to say that you guys could be a little more invested in making a more complete realm. Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled with playing on this server, and I donate as much as I can afford, but there are so many broken quests. Where do we draw the line at "finished" and "good enough"?

Though Lordaeron is awesome, it is also infuriating.

All of this talk of "Blizz-like" is not something that's currently supported by the devs, as far as I've understood it. It's the playerbase that keep using it, which is misleading. Lordaeron is a hardcore wotlk server, that's it.
Oh, and exactly what do you mean by you thinking that they could be more invested? I doubt that you have insight as to how many hours they're spending on fixing bugs, quests, etc.
There's way too many demands flying around right now with people that think that Warmane owes them something, which is not the case.

If what was said during the making of Lordaeron's core (while it was used as PTR realm), Eastern Kingdoms and Outland had over 90% fixed quests, Outland around 98%-99% and Northrend 97%+ according to reports. So not sure how you could find "many bugged quests". Also, remember that 3.2 and 3.3 quests might not be implemented and/or working since the realm at the moment is in stage 3.1.

Seriously? "There are so many broken quest", all I gotta say is where? Yes I'm not blind, I know Stormpeaks and Icecrown can be a bit buggy, but come on, those have got to be the two hardest zones to debug in all of Northend. I quested through NR twice and got the achievements from BT, DB, ZD, and SB. I also got the Son's of Hodir Faction fully unloced, but I do know that "Thrust Hodir's Spear" daily is broken, but all else works and you can completely get your shoulder enchants. Most of Icecrown is still completely doable, but you shouldn't have to go to far out there to hit 80, so I don't think it's a big priorty for Warmane at the moment, not when raids still need to be released and class bugs need to be worked on.
But you also just gotta remember one thing, Warmane is not Blizzard, they don't have endless pockets of money, so they can't have everything at a 100% like Blizzard a 100% of the time. That's just not reasonable to think that way. So you have to take what you can get or go back to retail as i can assure, right now Warmane is the best WoTLK server there is out there.

Anybody who says they can't find many bugged quests has clearly never tried to do Loremaster. It's not even doable atm because most of Northrend is buggy and part of Outland is. Shadowmoon can't be completed, even with a faction change.

Derpykins, please, just out of curiosity, send me in private message all the "so many" not working quests and what excactly is not working. I know Im not from staff, but if there are actually so many of them, you wont have any trouble msging them to me. Thanks in advance.

Term Blizz-like does not mean Blizz-clone, and it does not relate in any sense to bugs.
Blizz-like means that server is not custom/pvp only/fun 255 lvl server or any other kind.
As for the bugged quests, report them to https://www.warmane.com/bugtracker so that they can be documented and fixed.

Really? I run into broken quests and poorly scripted, or completely unscripted, quests all the time and I haven't even reached level 40. Take Duskwood for instance. In the embalmer questline there's no Stitches, the Morbent Fel battle seems to work when it feels like it, and for some reason there's a level 50 mob standing in the room when you go to fight Stalvan Mistmantle. That's in just one zone. I've found multiple flaws in STV, Arathi, Desolace, etc. where quests, though completable, often give issues that leave me wondering if they'll ever be corrected. Is this what I can expect through Outland and Northrend?

All I read here.... is pointing in one direction --> retail.
The private server scene is nothing for someone who wants all 100% perfect, just won't happen okay?
I do recommend you to report those bugs as detailed as possible though, because those things ofcourse can get a look at.

Member
you called 3 things in duskwood. 3 things in whole zone. and you call that much?

Should have seen Private Servers a few years ago, and I mean all not just Warmane, and x1 realms was impossible due to the number of broken quests. Its come a very long way :)

If you think you can do a better job, you're always free to apply for the job and show them how it its done. Or you could always start your own WoTLK server, if you can get it closer to a 100% working, I'd love to see it.

It's 3 of the biggest, and I'd say most iconic, questlines in the entire zone. If it something with the building of the telescope, or the Worgen in the Woods questline, I might be able to forgive. But no Stitches? He was one of the primary reasons Duskwood could be so spooky. You never knew when you were going to run into him trampling across the map. Morbent Fel not working correctly is simply lazy scripting, and as to that mob standing in the room with Stalvan....why? How difficult is it to delete a mob?

The point still is that its not a lot of bugs. Especially for a private server. As was mentioned above, you cant expect a private server to have a blizz quality (ps there are bugs even on retail)

There is a thing called bug tracker, go search thru it and see what quests are broken...I'm not some lazy kid's slave. You actually thought I was going to spend hours searching to get a list of EVERY broken quest?
