  • Recount and other damage meters are broken. It’s easy to understand, but almost impossible to fix:

    • Damage meters use custom chat channels to communicate damage among players in the group/raid.
    • If a player can’t participate in the custom chat channel, other players’ damage meters will only record damage if they’re within 5-10 yards.
    • Custom chat channels don’t work cross-server.
    • Therefore, if you’re more than 10 yards from a player from another server, you’re not getting their damage correctly.

    Seriously, I’ve seen Recount come up more than 3,000 DPS short for some players from other servers, just because I was healing (back with the ranged DPS) and they were meleeing.

  • Roll Need on Frozen Orbs unless you truly don’t care who gets it. Stop thinking about “Need” as meaning “I need this for X specific purpose”, and start thinking about it as meaning “the highest priority in this loot system”. Rolling Need is the only way to distribute that Frozen Orbs are distributed evenly among group members. If you truly don’t care who gets it, roll Greed or pass – but then you don’t get to complain when someone else rolls Need, because it doesn’t matter to you, right?
  • EDIT: Reader protomech confirms that BOP items can be traded cross-server! Thank you! Can someone confirm whether BOP items can be traded to a player from another server, if they were eligible to loot the item and you’re within the two-hour trade window.? I’ve received comments going both ways and I’d like to know.
