Interesting. This is the first I've heard that I had been told to 'stop crying' or that I was "annoying" or out of line. I started this thread to ask why HFS are so overpowered and to discuss suggestions on the subject. This was done with the understanding that participation on this forum was open, as long as conversation was kept clean and polite. The words written here speak for themselves.
Last time i checked this is still the DF
Suggestions board. Your first post also indicate a suggestion along the line of "Nerf HFS please!!". But i guess it's fine, you just want to uh, discuss. Feel free to discuss your opinion and put the suggestion when you are through, but find more proper place somewhere else. And maybe beef up your understanding of the game when you are at it.
Technically, noob (or "n00b") isn't recognized as a real word. But even as slang, many sources merely lump it together with newb and newbie. There are many different definitions and it really depends on who you ask. Personally, I find this one fitting:
What is a NOOB???

Shortened form of "newbie," the most hilarious insult ever invented, in which a person who uses a computer game too much is ridiculing one who does not, for being "new" at the game, which of course they once were.
Generally speaking, the speaker of this "insult" is one who should be on the receiving end of most insults. Commonly found in allegiance with "1337$1'331<," or "leetspeak," the accepted language of computer gaming geeks which takes a ludicrous amount of time to type.
Example: "MY ARE 1337 CRO-MAGNON H4XX0R!!! MY ARE PWN J00!!! n00b!!!"
On a side note, this is copied directly from urban dictionary:
1. troll
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument.
Incidentally, I now find it ironic that you said "This is not wow" earlier because, from what others have told me about WoW forums, they are not at all friendly places.
Considering that I failed to take the bait in another thread, I can now see where this is coming from. Being still new here and still learning the game, I must have seemed an easy mark. I suppose I can only blame myself for not noticing the pattern sooner.
Very nice, ad hominem. I like that. And just so you know "hello this is my last post and i'm done talking to you" doesnt work on me either. It's very ironic for you to bring the out the troll definition while you have been, since the creation of this topic, holding up the "I'm newb" disguise to justify your ridiculous obliviousness, the kind of obliviousness only very dumb people or obvious trolls possess. It's not me vs you, it's probably you vs every posts you see. Maybe check your glasses? Even look at your blood = fps loss fix rally which you are so profoundly claim to be more important then path finding fix, it's actually
you who's doing the trolling. Everyone with a dent of knowledge know how to deal with splatter. Meanwhile there's no good way to improve path finding related FPS unless toady do it himself. It's no coincidence that it has 900+ votes on the tracker while yours have like, 2 vote? Look like DF forum goers are smart after all. Heck, after I inquired about your knowledge on splatter and path finding you went silent. Leave me wondered if there're anything to show for.
On the wow note, I dont frequent their forum nor bothered with your link. However, everyone and I right now am trying to fix you and hopefully you'd learn to properly contribute. So maybe it's better indeed.
Anyway, thank you rephikul for reminding me to be more careful in choosing whether or not to respond to comments. And for reminding me that this forum is for the benefit of enjoying the game.
I dont really care what you call me but if you will indeed make better posts then mission accomplished
EDIT: I should mention after hours of meditation and scourging every guides on the internet I found out a very complex but slightly reliable way to turn off HFS without breaking anything:
Dont touch the cyan stuff
