Can Emulators keep up?

[CoolManBob]

Well what I ment is you can get the server up and running without the new battleground and such, while at 3.1 there was a lot of stuff that was required to get in game.
It should be a lot easier this time round.

oh, im sure with those skin changes that you said that blizz is going to change the A9 packets, so you wont be able to enter the world until those are figured out and fixed

Ah well..
I never thought it would be a walk in the park, just easier than the previous patch since there doesn't appear to be a lot of major changes from the patch notes, but obviously I am wrong

Its ok, most people don't know much about that kind of stuff anyways

It's ok. At least you can admit your mistake unlike some other people

Its not like this is really new either, they have always done it and emulators have always been 100 steps behind. Its just the way it is. With a game like WoW that is updated so constantly no emu team will ever be able to really keep up because once we finally have the one patch working, blizzard has already released the next content patch.

IMO, we should just try to fix what we have, stay on 3.1 for a while and then when we feel ready move up to whatever is the latest, and then make that bugless and continue.

Not like that will ever happen though. :P People like new stuff even if it has 4 million bugs.

I know there is one Closed Source Core that has 3.1 under controll. However, I doubt Mangos or any other public emulator will keep up with that. This, due to alot people make servers for the wrong reasons, and also without giving the creators any credits.

But there are some things i believe that should be able to get past if the teams kinda worked together on harder projects. If say the database teams worked together they might find a way to get past there differences and find a way to finish these projects and make a better copy of WoW. I know this probably sounds impossible but i believe there might be a way to get past each teams differences.

Emulators are keeping up patchwise, but not featurewise. (Look at every emulator, things from vanilla still aren't working 100 percent).

and if you dont fix all packets, the client is just gonna get an old version of a packet related to some feature, causing it to go #132

Wrong.

He might have it, but there is yet another one.

Private emus are generally ftl, where major amount of their code comes from opensource projects.

[Vindicated]

That is partially true. Except look at Andy's core, he does all his own work.

See if we had some smart project leaders (no im not hinting myself in any couse i couldnt care less) then we could all combind and be pretty close to blizz. Instead of all this C+P of each others work which causes mass drama and no patch will be released on emu X then emu Y will attack emu Q ect. All bs tbh.

[Apoc]

Emus will *always* be behind. It's a fact.

You can't know what Blizzard is doing until they release it, and then we have to reverse everything and find the changes. It's not exactly something 'quick and easy'. There's no possible way to stay 100% up to date with things.

I rather keep ascent people and all the shit drama which follows them separate from what im using.
