Posted July 1, 2024 So, I am new to this whole private server thing, and I love the fact that we are able to play this without having the monthly fee being an issue. That being said, I have to ask something and I wonder if anyone can clarify something for me. I just started up a new character and have been running around a bit, got the idea that I would be nostalgic and level up exactly the same way I did 15 years ago, sort of following in my own footsteps. But as I began to fiddle around in game, I noticed some things were off. For instance, guards patrolling in Elwynn Forest are just standing frozen in place. A travelling baker who is clearly supposed to be walking down the pathway is similarly just standing in the middle of the road. There seems to be something up with the automata of the game. Moreover, strange lorebreaking NPCs are found in various places, such as a "Gaunt Scourge" (basically a cold wraith unit) standing in the middle of Stormwind; and for that matter, I have also seen several NPCs being cloned, with their carbon copies standing inside and clipping through each other. Most grievous of all, however, was the immersion breaking experience of being able to buy reputation rewards without having reached the necessary reputation level. I just casually walked up to Stormwind's reputation vendor, bought a 16 slot bag off of her which clearly stated that I needed to be "Revered" with Stormwind to get it, while not even having gone past "Friendly" yet. Now, am I to understand that these things are bugs that are sort of symptomatic to private servers, hence unfixable and we are just supposed to look the other way? It might be a nitpick, but it just gives off the feel of a very subpar experience. Is it supposed to be like this on private servers or is this fixable clientside somehow?

Posted July 1, 2024 Ill try to suggest workarounds to specific issues> There are several free bags available & u can push to 110+ slots with free, ask on global, 1 goat Q in highmountain (u start WITH FP), 1 tol dagar Boralus opener Q bag for ally, so on. Pserver are coded by reverse engineering blizz core, emulation. the specific things like Phasing is EXTREMELY hard to code & NPCs can & do exist in various phases. Almost everything on pservers includes workarounds of some sort, endgame PvE, achievements, PvP, collections. Its part of the package, Thankfully Firestorm (or Pandashan, as we knew it) has existed continuously since 2011, so it IS possible for u to do stuff on various expansion realms & have benefits pooled on final one like mounts, mogs.

GL, HF Gotcha, so these random buggy objects is pretty much something that we need to learn to live with, if I understand correctly? Not trying to sound beligerent or anything, I am just trying to understand how this works and what level of expectation I should go into this with. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 2, 2024 Hello there! Please keep in mind this is a private server and not blizzard, there may be bugs on NPCs quests etc especially on older content. Sadly older content isn't scripted well on Vladrakken. We are advising players to level in shadowlands content. If you abandon all quests and log out/in from your capital city it should pop up the start for shadowlands campaign. If it does not pop automatically you can visit Chromie in your capital city to start shadowlands as well. We understand that most player's want to experience as much content as they can, that's why I suggest submitting a bug tracker on issues you come accross at fstorm.cc/tracker. Please keep in mind that devs are focused on current content so it may be some time before BFA content is looked into. Best Regards, Mythyrian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best Regards, Mythyrian Oh, I am not even close to doing BFA ^^ Currently doing WoD; I am going through story content in order and will download expansions as I progress through them by migrating the character from one expansion to the next when it's time. But it's ok, I can manage. At least I know now that there is a reason for what I am seeing. ^^ Thanks for your replies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
