Firestorm – Sethraliss

Absolutely super mega hyper fking bugged 8.0.1 content, Dungeons, Raids and Quests.
Forget about playing Demon Hunter btw., basically impossible due to you either being too weak or all enemies too strong, every single quest is buggy-ish and you’ll be having GREAT trouble and frustration coming your way there.

They are currently having their 8.2.0 PTR Servers open to update their content.

I am simply questioning, how, when all 8.0.1 content is absolutely FU**ED, they can decide to upgrade and add more content to 8.2.0???

It’s just absolute garbage.

Their Website is nice, their Shop seems nice – and let me tell you – that’s the only thing they polished. The Game itself is garbage.
It’s been 2 Months and they can’t even fix the Damage Output the Vapors that spawn at the last Boss inside of the Dungeon The Deadmines which one-hit every tank.

There is just simply far too much going wrong in so many places with this Private Server, that I cannot recommend this.

I would have been absolutely fine with keeping on playing if I would see progress in bugfixing, but there is absolutely none in months not.

The cherry on the cake is the 8.2.0 expansion the plan for which I am now writing my review here.

Fu** you Firestorm for not giving a crap about all the already existing issues and adding some more on top of that.

Absolute Idiocy.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you’re looking for incomplete patches, toxic community, and not so great stuff, look no further. Welcome to Bugstorm!

What a disappointment. After incomplete 8.0 they implemented incomplete 8.2 and that quite a disaster:
– Good luck if your spells/class/spec is not working. Good luck if your spells mess up an instance. Good luck if you send a ticket about unpredictable error, and then receiving GM’s answer: “Sorry, your fault. Bye.”
– Still no Island expeditions at all. They’ve been announced months ago, three of them at least, and their explanation about having them “soon enough” leads me to believe it will be around 2022 ROFL.
– Darkshore is a complete waste of time. The way of attacking rares is probably set up to Heroic (they’ll one-shot you). No titanforge update at all, with reduced chance of obtaining blue gear, and compared to Arathi is very low. Good luck finding a big group for fighting Ivus. Some World Quests don’t work there. You won’t be able to experience 20 people scenario for there two zones at all.
– Mount requirements are missing. New hide gear transmogrification options are missing. Scrapping or disenchanting gear won’t give you Titan Residue.
– Nazjatar and Mechagon are not accessible.
– Raids 8.1 – 8.2 aren’t implemented yet. BoD works partially.
– No Naga Invasions. Faction Assaults, however, work.
– There is no flying yet! And while preparing for unlocking Pathfinder Part 1, you won’t be always able to complete all the quests/meta achievements, cause the NPCs can disappear or the quest chain can be easily broken. Such a pain in the neck it can be!
– Missing NPC for faction assaults currency. Trial of style vendor (Transmog NPC) sells cosmetic gear which you cannot buy. Island expedition vendors sells goods which you cannot buy.
If you like micro-holidays and season event, don’t expect much. The only fully functional is Pilgrim’s bounty. The rest of them are more or less bugged and probably copied from the WOtLK or Cata LOL.
– Do not use full level boost from game shop if you want to create an Allied Race. You won’t receive a quest for the Heritage armor. The devs forgot to mention this detail! Also, don’t boost an alt when an NPC called Boris appear in the faction’s capital city if you want cosmetic armor. These type of armors for core races might not be implemented at all.
– Game shop is missing a lot of things. You can obtain them with real money or with a custom currency called Loyalty points. Blood Elf NPC Jeanne will give you 12 point once per day when you click her. However, some currently unobtainable in-game things, such as transmog gear of weapons will be trickier to get if you need PVP currency, especially if it’s related to the older content. As a result of a forum proposition regarding the Honor currency changes, a certain player was simply insulted by a dev!
– Speaking of insults, let’s analyze the community. You can experience a lot of communication issues. A lot of people will address you in Spanish. However, there was a huge ‘English vs. Spanish as a main language’ fight among players. Thus, some of the Latin American players will ignore you even if they understand English. The good thing is, however, that there aren’t many language elitists. Profanities are a common issue. You can be insulted and harassed on a daily bases (insulting your race, gear, mog, giving you bad names and calling you prostitute, or using a variety of gay slur-type of curses). The best way to deal with them is to completely /ignore them. The forum will not be helpful, considering how one of the devs explained that punishing those type of players will “reduce player base for 70%,” which, in simple words, means less money for Bustorm.
Also, a harassed guild was left to deal alone, even-though the provided proofs “weren’t enough” for co-GM, who admitted he saw the problem himself. I mean, really?
– Rules can be easily changed, without transparent details, meaning players won’t find out about them, which can result to ban! According to devs logic, it’s players’ fault!

Conclusion: Please, find another Private server if you expect a lot, or play on Retail.

Good luck, good people of the Internet

Worst server ever.
Everything is for sale here. Even first kill bosses and avoiding punishments for bug abuse.
Donated-testers guild first kill Jaina myth with huge bug abuse and admins says – its legit kill.
All who ask for video\logs or something else -got mutes and permabans.
So if you not a admin friedn – you just useless trash.
Please never play here.

Not my type of server, I do insanely low DPS because the weapons have insanely low damage, 10 DPS at a one handed hammer at level 70.

how to set realm on this guys? (Sethraliss)

As an update, the server is still buggy AF. It’s not quite to “unplayable” levels, but it’s in sad, sad shape still.

In short, almost any quest which is not just a simple matter of “Kill X enemies” or “talk to Y NPC” or “gather Z drops from enemies” or something equally simple, will not work. And I really mean it being that simple, like ANY scripting at all is a no-go. Even basic things like “right click to interact on an NPC” are consistently broken across every zone I’ve been in. “Stand in specific location” has not ever worked, nor has anything like “drop an enemy below 50% hp”, they just keep attacking until they die.

This makes most questing zones awful. The Azshara zone is like over a 50% failure rate in quests in particular, and you’ll see such… interesting things like objects not even tagged properly, meaning inanimate objects like boxes you’re just supposed to destroy will slide along the ground to attack you for 0 damage as enemies.

While it’s technically possible that there are other servers that may be worse, the fact of the matter is that Sethraliss is just short of unplayable. The server population is consistently under 100 at this point, there is nil for low-level dungeons because there aren’t enough people willing to play through the broken leveling zones, and it’s just kind of awful in general.
I can’t comment on the management, only that there is clearly no interest in making the game run in anything remotely resembling a functional manner. I managed to slog my way through up to outland, and honestly… it’s just not worth it. It’s so ridiculously broken and half-hearted that there’s just no real incentive to waste more time even trying to reach the level cap or try any endgame content, because everything is in such a sad, sorry state as it is that it’s unreasonable to even think about making alts and having to go through that all over again.
The auction house is practically empty as well, so if you want anything like say… glyphs, whelp, too bad, you’re going to have to make an alt to make them yourself. Except we just covered how unappealing of an idea that is.
So, in short, don’t bother. Either play an earlier version on a more stable server, or go to Blizzard directly for anything more modern. This isn’t worth the effort of even trying in the state it’s in, and given it’s been like this for at least 3 years from the comments here, it’s not like you can hold out hoping it gets better, because it clearly won’t.
