Patch Day woes, and cheers.

So, today was the dreaded Major Patch Day in WoW. Everyone was painfully aware of this. I honestly would like to thank the awesome tech support at Blizzard for making this as painless as they could, in comparison for other patches (if anyone can remember those). Yeah, granted there was about 7 hours or so of serious issues, but they were fixed quickly, and now they are smoothing out the minor issues, bitches, complaints, etc. from all the whiny, bitchy, children who have to have things "NOW!" and "MY WAY!" and can't quite grasp the concept of patience, or those that have never been on bastard servers (Uther, back in '04) or been through a major patch that took 3-4 days to straighten out.

Alas, this also means that Add-Ons are broken, or not compatable with the new patch. Luckily, I've found a few that were already good to go.

Bagnon
Diamond Threat Meter
Recount
WiM
ArkInventory
FuBar (and some of the accessories)
ElkanoBuffBars (partially)

Then there are some that are not quite ready for the patch.
Bartender4 (which was supposed to be)
Atlas/Atlasloot
Cartographer
Auctioneer
DeCursive
SmartBuff
BigWigs/LittleWigs
Deadly Boss Mod
XPerl

Now, since all Add-Ons have been updated, I'm going to give them a whirl, and see what's working. Then I'll list what is still broken.

Atlas/AtlasLoot
Cartographer
Auctioneer
BigWIgs/LittleWigs
Deadly Boss Mods
XPerl (partially)
ElkanoBuffBars
Parts of FuBar


Working:
Bartender4
SmartBuff


Untested:
DeCursive

Patch Day, Patch Day!!!

So, today is the day of the new patch. I had someone ask me the other day, "How are you going to spec? Are you going to get Typhoon and Starfall?"

My retort to this was: "Good god no, waste all my points in Balance and miss out on the 16 point Leetness in Resto?! Besides, Starfall is teh ghey and Typhoon is, imho, a PvP spell/Talent. I'm not going to waste the point in that unless I decide to start PvPing. I can use it to knock Alliance off the bridge in AV, Blow them off the cliff at the LM in AB, or knock them off the flag ridge in EotS."

And apparently, Tzia is getting a [Polymorph Friend] spell that has a permanent effect. And from what I understand, THIS
is what the Super Lazer Turkey is going to look like..... Not very intimidating like before, I know... But I guess when you get your ass handed to you by a pink Tallstrider, you'll be one very, very shunned Alliance.
