Blocking Laggy Animations on DotD

PVP can be brutally slow because of the familiar and SoCK animations but you probably already know that.  Below are instructions to make that a thing of the past.  The instructions are for Firefox but you should be able to find the adblocking software I use for all browsers or an equivalent.

Step 1:
Get this and install it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

Step 2.
Press CTRL-Shift-A to bring up the add-ons window

Step 3.
Click Options on the adblock plus addon.

Step 4.
Click Filter Preferences button

Step 5.
Click add filter group and name it DOTD Animations

Step 6.
On the right hand side click add filter and then add each of the following filters one at a time

||5thplanetgames-origin.cdnetworks.net/dotd_live/images/items/equip/*.swf
||5thplanetgames-origin.cdnetworks.net/dotd_live/images/items/bosses/*.swf
||5thplanetgames-origin.cdnetworks.net/dotd_live/images/items/pets/*.swf
||dawnofthedragons.cdngc.net/dotd_live/images/items/equip/*.swf
||dawnofthedragons.cdngc.net/dotd_live/images/items/bosses/*.swf
||dawnofthedragons.cdngc.net/dotd_live/images/items/pets/*.swf

These are brand new
||5thplanetdawn.insnw.net/dotd_live/images/items/pets/*
||5thplanetdawn.insnw.net/dotd_live/images/items/equip/*
||5thplanetdawn.insnw.net/dotd_live/images/bosses/*.swf

I ask that you please also add the following line so that you don't block stuff on my blog.

  1. Is there a way to do that using Google Chrome? I very much dislike Mozilla but the animations in duel still make spending duel tickets almost not worth it

  2. You can get adblock for Chrome. The instructions should be very similar just a few buttons might be in a different spot.

  3. I purposely use the animated items on PVP. Makes me a less worthy target. ;)
