Everyone needs to stfu and just let the developer do his thing.

Yes he was a bit short, I would be too, in this case yes the user posted something helpful, but have you read the rest of the comments? Spam after spam after spam of issues that have already been resolved. THAT is what hes talking about.

Im sure it came across that his comment was direct solely at that one user, but it wasnt. Not even 4 pages deep you can find the link to the alpha builds.

READ before you post. Thats all hes asking. If you arent a developer you dont understand. I am and Dally I feel your pain.

Keep up the great work and cant wait to see the final release!!

While I fully sympathise with Dally, Ecwfrk does make a good point: Why not just start a DrDamage Fan's Update where you can keep advisory text at the top of the page and have comments specific to the version(s) posted there? :)

big thanks for a such efficient support.

With r738 (i think 737 in fact ;) ),
macaroon support returned.

I know that the addon is still in earlier stages, and I don't want to make too many reports for things you may already know, sorry if this is the case.

- in r732 : Chaman was showing values for all healing spells (crazy values, yes, but values ;)
- in r738 : small healing wave, healing salve does not get any value displayed, even if the tooltip still function.

I hope that help. I have access to all classes at 70 at the moment, with many templates. So, if you need some testings for classes, like for paladin, doesn't hesitate to asks me for crazy tests and reports ;)

Hello and thanks for this wonderfull addon.

this is just to let you know that the latest working build with macaroon is r732 (tested up to 736). What is funny here is that the first non working version (r733) changelog was - Updated Macaroon support ;)

I'm using r734 currently as a frostmage and right now the crit #s for frostbolt are high. the non crit #'s are accurate though. Blizzard's per pulse number is the total amount of damage during the duration of the spell instead of being like arcane missiles and showing per pulse #s that are per pulse.

Just want to say thanks for all you hard work! I am lost without this add on. Any ideas when a more current version will be available for the public? I miss having access to the betas but I do understand how the merger should be good for everyone in the long run (I hope!).

Thanks again!
Kalgarath

I'm just finishing up paladins now. I'm gonna do another quick pass over each class afterward and try to clean up some of the data. Expect a beta release early this week!

If you expect us to go through the trouble of fixing the mod for you, I think it's fair for us to expect you to do at least a LITTLE bit of research first before you flood the comments section with unnecessary bug reports. =/

Bottom line: You're not using the latest available builds, and all those issues you've mentioned have already been resolved.

Nice point Dally, yet sadly, we don't seem to have access to the "latest builds", nor much, if any info on them. So I suggest you get us the builds so we can help test them, or not comment like an anti-social teenager. Can't wait for an update, I miss this mod.
P.S.- Thanks for all the hard work on it by the way!

First, I'd like to get it out the way that I'm past my teens. I also don't consider myself anti-social, though I thank you for your concern.

It's amusing how people come, day in and day out, demanding fixes in exchange for nothing. When something doesn't work, rather than spend 5 minutes doing a little work themselves, they dump often useless information onto the nearest forum or comment board and expect the developers to do the work to not only DECIPHER the often lacking information you've given us, but then to figure out that the problem is the user's (not using the latest version in the above case!) not the software's or developer's.

I'm also very annoyed that the social trend is for the developer (who is doing the work for free and asking for nothing in return) to be entirely polite and considerate towards the feelings of the users who in turn often have absolutely NO REGARD for the developer as a person.

I was neither rude nor offensive in my above reply, I was simply terse. The reason why these builds are difficult to find is because they aren't meant to be public. They are only available to those of the public clever enough to find them due to lack of security of wow-ace repositories. If you go back 3 or 4 pages on these comments, you'll find out exactly how to get to them. Three to four pages shouldn't take you more than a couple minutes to sift through. Constantly replying in an ever-polite manner that people aren't using the latest builds every 2 days takes up far more of my time, and I'm already spending MY time for you trying to clean up the code. I haven't played the game since the patch dropped BECAUSE I've been working on the mod in what little recreational time I've got.

You're welcome to take this post however you please, but please note, my intention is simply to explain my opinion on the issue, and I mean absolutely NO personal offense to you or anyone else who reads this.

I think it's marvelous that you're willing to go to the trouble of creating and maintaining a fantastic addon like this, and I can understand the impatience of having to deal with bug reports when you were personally well aware that you'd already fixed the bugs. I have some appreciation for how difficult it can be to stay patient with end users when you're not even being paid for this. I couldn't fault you for deciding that your limited patience can't be spared for remaining civil toward people who use your addons for free, but make no mistake, the first guy wasn't in the wrong here (though the second guy was a bit of a jerk for saying you reacted like an anti-social teenager, even if he wasn't entirely wrong).

You vented at a guy for expecting you to "go to the trouble of fixing the mod for you" when he was posting his *own* fixes to help out, for "flooding the forums" when he made a single post, and for not using a latest release that you say you intentionally made hard to find. This wasn't someone posting a dozen oneliners bitching in leet-speak that your mod sucks. You're correct that you've put in a lot of hard work and don't owe us anything, and the second guy's wording only made things worse, but he's got a point about your reaction to the first guy being totally uncalled for.

I humbly disagree. I can appreciate the fact that the original poster was "simply trying to help". Help is welcome. However, the help given in this case was unnecessary because it was invalid, and 2 minutes spent reading the comments here first would have almost definitely made him/her aware of that fact. Meanwhile, the unnecessary post knocks other potentially useful posts out of sight.

I haven't INTENTIONALLY made the alpha difficult to find. I have simply kept it an alpha. The fact that it CAN be found at all is out of my control: it's how ace works. I can't prevent anybody from downloading the alpha (and believe me, I wish I could). All I have the power to do is post here telling people that the Alpha is strictly that an ALPHA and that I know it isn't fully working. But as more and more people ignore said posts and then post their own unnecessary "help", it only pushes my explanation posts further down. I had reached a point where I was posting that the Alpha is known to be broken every day, just to keep it fresh. It was alleviating the problem somewhat, but there are still people who do not read a word of text before crying out that something is broken.

I'm not a customer service rep, and I have no company whose reputation I need to guard. I am simply a fan of the mod who is working to get it going again. I don't feel the need to give service with a smile. I have yet to resort to insults, so in my opinion, I'm being perfectly civil. I'm not going to sugarcoat my responses, and I'm sorry that some people think I must in order to be civil.
