Sorry Blizzard lost out already in my book. When my play card runs out in 8 days that'll be it for me. I haven't played WoW in about 2 weeks and don't intend to anytime soon. This patch adds nothing of interest for me, and it seems Blizzard doesn't want to fix underlying issues anyways. So bleh on Blizzard.

I'm just sick of Blizzard only thinking about High-level Players.

For the rest of us, it's usually "Will be added later on ..."

Honor System .. For High-levels

Battlegrounds ... ^^ ( Lower level Battlegrounds to be "added later on" ... :rolleyes: )

I don't see the fun in WoW anymore, i'll give it a chance sure but ... They really gotta pull themselfs together!

lol, the only problems I have with the game is after they patch it... Like now... They need work on their patching skills, other then that i have no problems so yeah i will enjoy it..

just get level hax, i obviously have those too :pp

yeah, I don't really think they implemented the honor system correctly....When theres HUGE groups of people pvping any mage can just run in and aoe, then run away and wait for everyone to die and its easy points, got about 90 points in a short time :no::

I think the reason there's not a lot of changes being made for low and mid-level areas is the fact that it doesn't take long at all to get to level 60. You can reach the cap with about 9 to 16 days of /played time, so it's not that big of a deal at all compared to other games. I'd like to see some more low and mid-level content, though, because I make new characters very often and I'm getting tired of the same old thing.

On another note, any Alliance players that don't know about the Chicken quest in Westfall should try it out. Go to Saldean's Farm and spam /chicken while targeting on of the chickens. Eventually it will turn into a friendly NPC that you will be able to talk to, giving you a quest to get feed. You buy the feed from Saldean and take it back to the chicken, who will lay an egg. The egg summons a Prairie Chicken that will follow you around as a pet.

How dual wielding works? I already trained the skill with a weapon master and now I have two weapons. But when I fight I just do damage with the one in the main haid

What weapon are you using in the main hand and in the off-hand? If they're both daggers (for example), obviously they're using the same skill points. If one is a dagger and the other is, let's say, an axe, you've also gotta have skill points in 1H axes for it to do any damage. Checking the combat logs helps when you're seeing something weird going on, such as this.

Keep in mind the main hand weapon does full damage whereas the off-hand weapon only does 50% damage. DW also has a chance of missing 50% of the time (or something like that).

Plus if you aren't a rogue, you won't be getting melee bonuses, so if you're a DW'ing hunter, it's probably more beneficial to use 2H weaps (that benefit your ranged attack as well, since if you're a hunter you should be focusing on ranged in the first place).

Hope that helps.

I started playing around like 8 EST, so it was kind of late for me. Right when i logged on (i was camped in xroads) i couldn't nove for 3 minutes. When i finally could move i noticed the latency was over 2K.... yea. Then i walk out and notice over 200 alliance/horde fighting like hell. I really wanted to get to the killin, but i was only 32, and all of them were ?? to me. But i got into a raid group and thought "hey this will be good, i will get some kills now"... wrong, everytime we would go to do something, half the people would leave or just do nothing, so i opnly ended up with 14 honor kills :( . But anyway, i really like the concept for the PvP awards now, but i wish they would make the servers able to handle it better. Anyone else have some stories to tell?

If you have a class that has a DoT or AoE you can get TONS of Honorable Kills by doing any type of damage to the opposing faction. I chose Tarren Mill/Southshore to rack up some HKs yesterday. As a lvl 31 Priest, I ended up with 400 HKs after fighting for a few hours. I just continuously threw DoTs on people and backed up to heal myself. I was also fighting almost all lvl ?? people, encountering only about 10 people under lvl 40 during the battle.

Honor System is a misnomer. You get the most honorable kills for murdering in the most dishonorable ways.

People are racking up hundreds of kills by 40-man raiding poor level 50s questing in Felwood. If you haven't hit 60 by now, I'd build some rested xp until they fix this "honor" system if I were you.

If people thought getting ganked one on one or two on one was bad, try taking on an entire raid that collectively does 10,000 damage per second.

Raids are not going to give as many contribution points, which is vital. The key is to work in 5 man groups for real gain.

P.S.

Just got my Paladin Epic Charger tonight. :woot:

i dont have any AoE spells yet as a hunter. I believe i get volley around 40, but by then i dont think people wil be doing as much PvP. i can just shoot arrows from a distance and DoT them, but whenever i get close it lags so bad i cant even target anything. :wacko:

LOL last night was a crazy night In wow i was on my 27 warlock in stockads workin on some quest with a PUG . <--- shiver's guild was all busy with other things so from the start i tell them im getting Hit with really bad thunderstorms and i might do LD all said ok . about 1/2 thou my cable drops me hard takes me 10 min to get my connection back i get back in and i guess the group got owned to argo < in the stockads argo is very easy > i start getting whispers from the group saying i was an ###### for going LD and i made the group break up :wacko:

should i feel bad for LDing and casuseing the group to get killed ? i DID tell them fromt eh start i was getting hammered with storms and i might get dropped

      That reminds me. Now that i have Quest 3 I should go back and try the first one in VR. ... last time i did that I tried it in some janky VR setup which was still really good.

      An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along by Sayan Sen Image by Kovin P. Vasquez via Pexels | Not representative An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery surrounding a distant blazar known as PKS 1424+240, helping explain why it produces some of the brightest high-energy gamma rays and cosmic neutrinos ever observed despite appearing to have a relatively slow-moving jet. The findings were published on June 6 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters. The study addresses a broader challenge in astrophysics: understanding how extreme cosmic objects accelerate particles to very high energies and produce very high-energy (VHE) photons and neutrinos. PKS 1424+240 is located billions of light-years from Earth. It has attracted attention for years because it is both a powerful source of VHE gamma rays and the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, according to observations by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It is also associated with one of the strongest peaks in IceCube's nine-year neutrino sky map A blazar is a type of active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole that pulls in surrounding matter and launches jets of plasma moving close to the speed of light. What makes blazars unique is their orientation. One of their jets points almost directly toward Earth, making them appear exceptionally bright across the electromagnetic spectrum and allowing scientists to study some of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe. The scientists exclaimed it's like the 'Eye of Sauron' in deep space. Usually, the brightest gamma-ray-emitting blazars are expected to have jets that appear to move very quickly. However, radio observations of PKS 1424+240 suggested that its jet was moving much more slowly, creating a contradiction that became part of a long-running problem known as the "Doppler factor crisis." To investigate, researchers analyzed 15 years of observations from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of 10 radio antennas spread across the continental United States, Hawaii and St. Croix. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers combine signals from widely separated radio telescopes to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope capable of revealing extremely fine details. The team combined 42 polarization-sensitive radio images collected between 2009 and 2025, creating a much deeper and more detailed view of the jet than had previously been possible. The observations were carried out as part of MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments), a long-running program that studies the brightness, polarization and magnetic field structures of jets produced by active galaxies. The project aims to better understand how activity near supermassive black holes is linked to high-energy radiation and neutrino emission. “When we reconstructed the image, it looked absolutely stunning,” said Yuri Kovalev, lead author of the study and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded MuSES project at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “We have never seen anything quite like it — a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.” The image revealed an unusual geometry. The researchers found that Earth lies almost directly in line with the jet, with a viewing angle of less than 0.6 degrees. In simple terms, astronomers are looking almost straight down the jet. This turned out to be the key to the mystery. Because the jet is aimed almost directly at Earth, a relativistic effect called Doppler boosting dramatically increases its apparent brightness. The study found that this effect boosts the emission by a factor of about 30 while also making the jet appear slower than it actually is. “This alignment causes a boost in brightness by a factor of 30 or more,” said Jack Livingston, a co-author at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “At the same time, the jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects — a classic optical illusion.” The nearly head-on view also gave scientists a rare look at the jet's magnetic field. Using polarized radio signals, they detected a clear toroidal, or doughnut-shaped, magnetic field component. The observations suggest the jet carries an electric current and that its magnetic field helps launch, shape and stabilize the flow of plasma. Researchers believe this magnetic structure may also play a key role in accelerating particles to energies high enough to produce both gamma rays and neutrinos. “Solving this puzzle confirms that active galactic nuclei with supermassive black holes are not only powerful accelerators of electrons, but also of protons — the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos,” Kovalev said. The research was conducted under the MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources) project, which investigates how active galactic nuclei accelerate particles and generate different cosmic signals, including light and neutrinos. Scientists say understanding how protons are accelerated and linked to neutrino production remains one of the major unanswered questions in astrophysics. The findings help explain why some blazars can appear to have slow jets while still producing extremely bright high-energy emissions. More broadly, the study strengthens the link between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos. Researchers say the results provide new clues about how some of the Universe's most powerful natural particle accelerators work and offer important insights for multimessenger astronomy, which combines different types of cosmic signals to study extreme events in space.
