[PQR] Nova Team Profiles

[googlebee]

I thought the community was stepping into a new phase, an exciting phase, especially with your recent work it sparked interest in alot of people, even Diesall is writing a new PQinterface because of your contribution....

if everyone had the mentality you have right now, this community will not exist very soon, perhaps you don't realize the importance you have in this community?

there is no "I" in Team

Will be interesting to see how well these *Paid Profile* writers do without the help of the more experienced coders like Bu.

i dont get all the negative responses to bubba stepping out he owes nobody nothing and all the QQ just makes everyone realise exactly his reasons for taking a break/leaving let the guy be he was a huge asset to this project and you should all be grateful tbh and posts like a few in here will see him never return

Sadly, I'm starting to think I will take Bu_bas route as well. Not having internet for almost a week has shown me just how easy it would be to quit for a while. I'm not even missing WoW and lately, a lot of people (not you k1ngp1n) have been making me wonder on a lot of things...

It may be fairly obvious, but on the mage profile (frost), is the automatic cooldown function supposed to pop cooldowns? Because it doesn't for me

@Mentally, I am wondering if there is still hope for the Shadow PvP profile? Still very excited about that one.

@klux and @Bendecks: All the Mage profiles are getting a major overhaul once my schedule clears up a little bit. As it's looking right now, here's how my queue looks like -
Shadow Priest (PvE) - Done
Demonology Warlock - Almost Done
Shadow Priest (PvP) - Almost Done
Frost / Fire Mage - Queued.

All the work has been done for Shadow's PvP profile as I mentioned earlier, and I had to recently re-activate my EU account with in-game gold because I haven't gotten to level any of my US characters up to 90 yet. (I also ran out of prepaid time, so I have to sort that out somehow.)

@lolioz and @daveyboyuk: You're both quite right. However, I agree completely with the mods about not supporting donations. Donating to get access to a profile is exactly the same as selling the profile. You can turn it around and say that you donate money to the store when you go and buy something. While I would love to get paid for my profiles, I don't feel it's right or fair, that's why I'm always going to mention and say that donations to me are completely optional. If you feel like I'm helping you out, you like what I'm doing, want to help support me and keep my interest in what I'm doing and continue to create great content, then feel free to buy me a hotdog, if you're poor like me, then I completely understand and positive feedback or even sending me a reputation point or anything similar is equally satisfying. =)

But that's just my view on it! I'll keep on making free quality profiles for as long as I play World of Warcraft.

Profile devs will continue to quit because there's no incentive to keep going. Really not surprising at all. And to the people that are getting mad about it, need to point the finger at the mods for not supporting donations. Im just surprised this hasn't happened sooner

Is more that we do this for enjoyment, and for the satisfaction of helping other people. That is what its about, and has always been about, in this PQR community.

Like any community tho, u get some bad apples, and this one has had its fair share of them lately. Rude, expecting, and ungrateful leechers, have really started to make this not so much fun anymore. It feels more like a voluntary job.

It used to be that donations were always optional, and never *Forced* on anyone.

The same could be said for paid profiles sure, nobody is *Forcing* you to buy.

But if u dangle a carrot in front of a rabbit, they will bite. Dangling a partly finished product for free, only to charge for a finished product, is the same thing.

The biggest turn off for people like me, (And morso for people like Bu_ba, Sheuron, etc) is having your work that was released to the public for free use, re-used and resold, in a paid profile.

I'm not going to point any fingers here (U only need part of a hand to do it anyway) but that has been boiling in water for a while, and has over-boiled.

If people want to sell a profile from a program that is free to use, we cannot stop them from doing that. But we can start to make them create there own functions, variables, and data from ceasing to release our own publicly.

That is the naked truth.

I think it stems from PQR reaching some sort of critical mass. It is unfortunate. But if the prolific profile writers take breaks the new users will move on. Those dedicated enough, will use old profiles and modify them to work for themselves and maybe share them. I'm 50/50 on the paid profiles though. Some paid ones are the only 'viable' option at the moment.

Good luck to you Bu_ba though in any and all things you do in the future. You and Team Nova have provided a wellspring of information for other profile writers and profile hackers.

[OnionsTich]

ok.. the shadowpriest profile does not work on any bosses. is there reason for this?

[OnionsTich]

Its because developers have no real reason to care or incentive.

wILL IT WORK IN REAL RAIDS?

[Ninjaderp]

Mentally should be able to answer that, Onion.

[OnionsTich]

Mentally should be able to answer that, Onion.

Works great on dummys. It only dots bosses.

@OnionsTich: As I've said numerous times, remove the damn TOES function as it's very broken and wasn't supposed to be bundled together with the update that was pushed.

I've just updated the SVN with the current profile that I've been working on for ages, adds support for many new things such as Void Shift and Vampiric Embrace. These two are disabled by default so you'll have to set your own keybindings if you want them in your profile. It also supports the Level 50 talent of your choice.

I've also updated the rotation a little bit to take into account the adds on both Protectors of the Endless and Tsulong heroic. It's my current working local copy which I'm just polishing at the moment.

Please make sure to check out the new options and disable what you don't want or don't need.

Do note: The new Data file will break the automatic buffing functions of both the Mage and Warlock profiles as it's using the previous version of PQ_AuraInfo() I wrote.

If you go into the ability and change PQ_AuraInfo to include "player", you should be good to go.
Exmaple: For instance, changing PQ_AuraInfo(5) to PQ_AuraInfo(5,"player")

More updates are coming soon. I'm still only one person.
