Ascent/Mangos?

[ALilHope]

I'm thinking about making a WoW private server and I'm a bit confused about Ascent and Mangos. i'm mainly curious about which one has more GM commands, LEAST bugs, etc...

 

[Espionage724]

My Opinion
Ascent = Good
Mangos = Bad

It would be best to choose Ascent over Mangos. I did a survey on what one was better and Ascent won lol.
Ascent doesn't have too many bugs.

I haven't used MaNGOS ever since I went Ascent, it could be better now than it used to be, so it's all personal preference.

 

[KingXCrosses]

ehh w/e Mangos seems more legal, but i dont care
lol so i'm sticking with ascent

 

[shamus252]

mangos is alot more stable then ascent but ascent can hold a crap load of people and mangos cant mangos has alittle bit easyer gm command setup but there both about the same as for a commands goes they just run off of different flags

 

[plnt8]

i personally think ascent is better, mangos has to many bugs and is alot more confusing than wat ascent is.

so i would say go with ascent, but hey thats my opinon

A decent repack like reaper-x puts Mangos at the top for ease of install. The database works well with the client and doesn't require you to keep track of any complicated sql fixes or script patches. I stopped using ascent when I couldn't for the life of me get it to work with NCDB after dozens of fixes and patches. I tried using a repack stuffed full of pre-applied fixes and used the new RusDB, which I felt was the most complete db to date, so ascent may be getting back on its feet now.

Aside from stability, I found Mangos to be much harder to control from a gm standpoint. The commands are far more limited in comparison to the gm freedom that ascent offers you.

I don't like anything to do with repacks or RusDB lol. I haven't tried mangos in over a year so idk what it's like now.

ASCENT OWNZ!!! ... Mangoss ... well ... Nah!

 

[Paco44]

Ascent also gets more updates. (DAILY!)

 

[Plaguedog]

I don't like anything to do with repacks or RusDB

Have you even tried RusDB?

It's the only database I've tested thus far which actually evenly distributes loot types and doesn't throw a bunch of wildcard items into mob loot tables. (i.e. only leather/cloth/mail drops from mobs in a starting zone.) It also emulates random drops better than any of the others, instead of the same greens dropping from the same mobs like in NCDB regardless of the drop multiplier.


As far as repacks go, the OP wanted to know what's easier and Mangos is definitely easier if you go that route.

 

[keviin]

Ascent more populair
i didnt even try mangos":S

 

[plnt8]

ASCENT OWNZ!!! ... Mangoss ... well ... Nah!

LOL im with you :roll1:

 

[s3m3L]

Ascent is the best emulator ever.

 

[maJito_Ice]

yeah Ascent ROCK! it's another core code that MaNGOS have and look more Blizzlike!
u see how mobs moves in MaNGOS? they usually fall under the earth and all world in MaNGOS look unreal and suck!it's my opinion nothing to all .......

 

[cartmainia]

I personally thinks Ascent is best cause of their quick updates and their stability.
But mangos got some cool stuff ascent don't have like vmaps ( uses tons of ram, but still )

But If I were you I would go for Ascent

 

[mihai00792]

the mangos core is good at talents, spells etc but the npc dont verry good .... and the ascent core is good but have problems with spells, swim dont work in the most place, but the npc ar verry good .... this is the problems .... i think if the mangos core are combinate with ascent core will have one verry good server and the db at same ........ but i dont think this will be ......

 

[BIGJOHN44]

Havnt messed around with both core alot. But going through both of them as people have stated Ascent is built for better charater playing and npc. But I like Mangos more, sure the npcs are buggy but it seems easier to use for me alittle easier to modify. Both though i have yet to find boss timers/events that work, but that just may be me and my stupidness.

 

[maJito_Ice]

yeah.... Ascent will more better! this project is more good day after day! and then WOWWofLK is in Shops we can play in real WoW server with name Ascent u will see

 

[Paco44]

When Wrath of the Lich King is released, it will take Ascent 5 days tops to get it set up for emulation.
