Cars 2013 are better than we anticipated

admin — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 20:06:56 +0000

Engineers have always played shuffle around big companies and although they have come up with great designs in the past they were burned at the stake by the accounting department because of costs and their ideas were squashed out like a bug. The fact is that now we have customers that are really getting sick of seeing their paychecks going to oil companies. I for one am one of those customers and in order to get to work I have to set aside more and more each month to deal with the rising oil prices. Let’s face it the cars 2013 design needs to get us more miles to the gallon and that is exactly what they are doing. We are seeing companies wrangle in their bean counters because let’s face it, when accountants build cars they build pieces of shit that break down and actually cost the company more money, for example
take the Dodge and Plymouth neon that instead of using the head gasket the engineers wanted the accounting department used a traditional one that would save them a few dollars until buyers engines leaked worst than the titanic and because of that the company had to pay for mechanics to replace all the leaking cylinder head gaskets which cost the company a massive amount of money. So for news cars 2013 let’s just let the experts do what they have become experts at and we will have a better vehicle because of it.

The Benefits of Joining the Marine Federal Credit Union

admin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 02:20:21 +0000

There are many individuals that are unaware of all the benefits or even the existence of a specialized credit union. For each branch of military service there is a specialized credit union, for the Marines is the Marine Federal Credit Union. The Marine Federal Credit Union is a non-profit union that offers APR rates that are lower than even the most competitive commercial banks. Because of the Marine Federal Credit Union’s ability to only have to pay its employees means that the union only has to make enough money off the loans to pay the employees and overhead costs. With the ability to handle Marines finances give Marines and their families low interest loans for automobiles, mortgages, and several other loans. The savings interest rate is also higher than commercial bank rates so you will achieve a better payout on your savings. The Marine Federal Credit Union continues to grow and with the financial security backing of the FDIC helps secure your loans and savings similar to a typical commercial banking system. With the ability to secure lower interest loans will help Marines save thousands of dollars a year with mortgages. Since Marine Federal Credit Union is a non-profit there are less fees and penalties that often cause hundreds of dollars to be lost by account holders. So if you would like to see what the Marine Federal Credit Union can do for you take a moment to talk with a Marine Federal Credit Union representative to learn more.

Stat Cleansweep

admin — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 02:11:49 +0000

All classes stats are getting an inspection to remove any discrepancies (of course this is an ongoing process since Warcrafter started, but now I’m giving it a lot of time). Also a lot of tooltips are getting updates, removing any unecessary information. Additionally, meta gems and DK weapon enchants are going to be fully operational.

So far the following stats have had corrections made to them
Warrior:
-base stats
-Crit chance
-attack power
-dodge chance (w diminishing returns)

Death Knights:
-base stats
-parry (w dimishing returns)
-dodge (w dimishing returns)
-Crit chance (Although i haven’t figure out the correct formula for agi to crit for DKs)

Rogue
-Attack Power
-Crit chance

Shaman
-Attack Power
-Spell power is still not correct. What else do shamans get spellpower from other than their ap to sp talent?

Druid
-Dodge (w dimishing returns)

Hunter
-Attack Power
-Ranged crit

Mage
-Spell Crit

Warlock
-Spell Crit
-Spellpower may not always add up correctly due to the addition from pet stats.

Priest
-Spell Crit

Paladin
-Melee Crit
-Spell Crit

A lot of tooltips have had updates as well.

Gear Score Formula

admin — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:29:25 +0000

Your gear score may have been fluctuating over this weekend, but should be back to about the previous score.

This entry is mainly to post the current formula for the gear score calculation, to make it open for discussion:

your gearscore is the sum of the budgets of all equipped items.
an item budget is calculated as follows:

budget = (itemLevel – itemQualityAdditive) * itemQualityMultiplier * itemSlotMultiplier;

(repeated for every item and summed) * characterClassMultiplier;

where:

if the itemQuality is heirloom:
if characterLevel < 60 then itemlevel = characterLevel;
else if characterLevel < 70 then itemlevel = 80 + (characterLevel – 60) * 3.5;
else if characterLevel <= 80 then itemLevel = 147 + (characterLevel – 70) * 4;
itemQualityAdditive is
Poor: 0,
Common: 0,
Uncommon: 4,
Rare: 1.84,
Epic: 1,
Legendary: 1,
Heirloom: 1.84

itemQualityMultiplier is
Poor: 0,
Common: 0,
Uncommon: .5,
Rare: .625,
Epic: .769,
Legendary: 1,
Heirloom: .625

itemSlotMultiplier is
Ammo: 0,
Head: 1,
Neck: .55,
Shoulder: .777,
Shirt: 0,
Chest: 1,
Waist: .777,
Legs: 1,
Feet: .777,
Wrist: .55,
Hands: .777,
Finger: .55,
Trinket: .55,
One-Hand: .55,
Shield: .55,
Ranged: .3,
Back: .55,
Two-Hand: 1,
Tabard: 0,
Main hand: .55,
Off hand: .55,
Held: .3,
Thrown: .3,
Ranged: .3,
Relic: .3
characterClassMultiplier is always 1, except for TG Warriors, where it is 0.94 (it has been alternating between 0.92 and 0.95).
Additionally, some more talents have been fixed, spells added for druid, and diminishing returns added for miss/dodge/parry.

I’ve had reports about Druid forms showing incorrect stats, but since Armory does not show buffs anymore and I do not have any Druid characters myself I cannot really fix this at the moment.

Wowarmory XML fetching

admin — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 02:32:37 +0000

As a result of the comments about the stability of the data fetching from the WOW Armory, I’ve made some changes to how it is done.

Resynchronization should now be a lot better working. They (Blizzard) haven’t documented their IP banning policy, so I can’t be sure. If you still have 3 or more consecutive resync failures while the Armory is working fine, please post.

A lot of bugs pointed out in the previous entries’ comments should also be fixed, for example Fury Warrios now incur an additional 2% penalty to their gear score. Sorry guys

Warcrafter updates 1/12

admin — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 02:37:13 +0000

The following changes have occured the past few days:

-Buffs have been updated for WotLK, consumables will be added in the near future.

-Fury Warriors have been normalized: they now receive a slight penalty to their gear score to account for the ability to dual wield two-handed weapons. If you still feel the gear score is inaccurate, please post two characters which you feel are inaccurately scored.

-Numerous bug fixes (Warlock talents, ToL spellpower, enchants added, hunter talents, mind sear added, and more).

-New realms added.

-A new tab ‘Summary’ has been added to the sandbox for existing characters.

Sandbox Fixes 01/01

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 02:08:20 +0000

The following bug fixes have occured:

-Mouseover tooltips of haste, hit and crit fixed
-various talents correctly applied
-various abilities fixed (ie arcane barrage, divine storm)
-healing removed from item tooltips, calculations are now hidden, as per Blizzard tooltips.
-various corrections made to stat calculations (melee/ranged attack power, hit, crit, haste, expertise, agi to crit, int to spellcrit, various ratings)
-a belt buckle can now be added via the right-click menu (belt, gloves, bracers)
-racials corrected

Additionally, I stuffed some more itemcache.wdb files (wowwiki: itemcache.wdb is the WDB file containing most of the information on items downloaded from the servers) in the database, hopefully this included the missing Season 5 and Tier gear. If you are still missing items, you can send your itemcache.wdb to my email if you know yours contain the missing items. Thanks to everyone who send me their files

Please continue reporting class mechanic bugs
