Phaelia A Quick Note Regarding Model Edits

Published on June 16, 2008 by Phaelia

Readers should be aware that Blizzard has been cracking down on the use of a particular application called “Model Edit.” While this application employs a method different than the one required for the use of Andrige’s modifications to Druid forms, this could be an indication that Blizzard is cracking down on all forms of model modification. The decision, of course, remains in your hands, but I would feel remiss if I didn’t share this information with you. Thanks to readers Luke and Wynn for writing in to let me know about this!

Blizzard wants me to be ugly! /cryFrom World of Raids:

Blizzard has recently updated the WoW client files to detect the Model Edit (it’s a tool that let’s you change your in-game character looks, however the use of that software is against Blizzard’s ToS). You will probably not get ban right away if you received that alert, but according to several users a GM might contact you in-game to give you a warning, and if you reuse the model edit after that, you will get a 72-hour ban for abusing World of Warcraft ToS, so consider yourself warned.

    Not entirely true, you should notify that at least my pack does not get this warning. As World of Raid says, it’s for those that use that tool. My pack does not use that tool. Think of it as Blizzard just recently discovered that the ‘tool’; modeleditfix.exe which is the program, is a liability, they added it to the list of the harmful programs. My pack does not fit into that category.
    So, my edit have not received any complaints or warnings, and I still use it at least… just to note, I went back to default when the warning first came out, but I just can’t stand using those any longer… so I’m gonna take the risk and if they actually will do more action against modelediting I’ll take that warning and possibly 72h suspension if so (okay not any further ofc).
    But if they do a change to prevent my kind of editing, I will sadly remove the pack from use.

    I state above that your pack doesn’t rely on an application like Model Edit. However, it may be worth noting that if they’re looking for application-based model editing, they might also be looking at other ways to detect model changes (like the method used for your skins). It’s something to consider, though you might be safe to wait for detection and a warning.

    Yeah sorry, did this reply during my very very brief break under lunch, so didn’t read it through entirely. Anyway… just wanted to say I’m going to a university now and gonna have an interview, hopefully it’ll go well for me and I’ll keep on doing this kind of stuff in the future.
    Cross your fingers for me ;)

    Best of luck, Andrige! I’ll keep my branches crossed. :-)

As much as I loved writing Resto4Life and am enjoying playing again (even if in a very limited capacity), I don’t have the time to devote to blogging anymore. Instead, I’ve been learning2play from Keeva at TreeBarkJacket.com and Lissanna at Restokin.com. :-) I am excited that BRK is back, though!

Soooo, with BRK back in action, I’m wondering if Phae will get recruited too.

Hi, Too bad this blog is no longer maimtained. Thanks for you post though. I wanted to address the issue of lefties. I am on, and use the N52TE. I use a trackball with my right hand and the n52TE with my left, no problems.

I didn’t read the pages upon pages of comments so I don’t know if these issues have already been hit, but I can think of two things as a boomkin/tank druid that have helped immensely with my nostromo. First off, turn off the diagonals on the D-pad. Wow kindof accounts for these innately by combining vert/horizontal key presses. Having the nostromo keyed to do this is redundant and screws up movement. The second is key spam macro’s. I have my nostromo 6 buttom set to...

Sweet thanks for sharing! And i thought I was the only one disappointed in WoW’s art and character customization! Let’s hope Cataclysm has more in the works of real visual art like this instead of middle school quality graphic farts!
Direct Healing in Wrath (103)

@Otta: This article is out of date and no longer relevant. I understand Nourish is now the preferred choice over Regrowth, though you should keep a RG on your tank for its HoT component. As the methods for finding this information are explained, someone should be able to apply them along with the new values to create an updated comparison. I, however, am not that person. :-)

Otta
Ok, just found this post, and it’s long and interesting, quick dumb question tho, the numbers for nourish with hots, is that the healing both by the nourish alone or also the hots that are running? I used to use regrowth and now use nourish, debate is whether to switch back. I also am specced into tranquil spirit – am guessing thats weird comapred to this info!
