I have emailed OctoWoW about that and talked to Kistrel (though you guys stopped replying to my emails 3 days ago)
I do NOT give permission to have my mod SuperWoW redistributed by OctoWoW. I am not affiliated with them and don't endorse any private servers.

I could understand the first time being an oversight by an engineer who didn't realize the license as explained by Kistrel, but to not abide by my wishes for the 2nd time is disappointing and sad.
I urge you to take this into serious consideration. Remove SuperWoW from the launcher, from the torrent link, and from the direct download ZIP.

In case you are real Balake, could you add a way to disable the enforced nameplates distance option? I do not use 2.x versions cause of that
Just to keep those 200 yard nameplates for BGs huh
How much advantage is too much advantage
The jinn is out of the bottle for long, what's your point? If another team can have it, I will have it too
Pathetic and miserable. Min-Maxxers borderlining being cheaters ruined so much about Gaming...

Great side note: When I was being vocal about it and pointing this out it was dismissed with "Nothing is being installed against your will - it´s just files." Still waiting for my apology there haha

Also, I highly doubt it was by mistake because they pushed out so many updates in a couple of hours and even included it into their client so I if it was a mistake it probably would´ve got sorted out. Also every possible Mod was forced upon so doesn´t seem believable to say "Whooopsie, was a mistake".

Very dissapointed about the whole situation, absolutely unprofessional - since that´s what you´re aspiring to be, right? Professional. Next time - do the exact opposite of what you did year if you want that reputation.

Why you not telling the same about tank shamans carrying flags on WSG with FAPs and using all those jumps?
It's a competitive game. If one side has some advantage, the other side must have it too.
Also as long as it's not against the rules, you cannot call it cheating.

I might have a couple of issues with the new client. I download and use the .zip client, not the launcher. the "bugs" as follows:

- I sometimes get a blank (black) avatar of a mob/npc I target.
- I do not have x/25 quests in quest log, it shows x/20 still.
- I have experienced what seems like a fps drop that is stable since I began using the new client. Feels like lower fps.
- I am not able to assign icons to mobs in solo play.
- Looting now happens automatically and I have to shift-click to manual loot, but i'm not able to change it back

On he plus side, I have noticed a jump in resolution, which feels quite nice. Keep up the good work!

Just bricked my client after update, Says im missing patch-4.mpq. Tried to disable all mods and reinstalling launcher. Any suggestions besides downloading new client from scratch?
