just like you should be doing with your shaman later as well.

Well Shamans are flexable, they can also tank rather well (with a good choice of items) for small groups. Their damage is also rather good if you spec in elemental (try getting hit by frost shock- the crit is huge).

my main char is a tauren shaman, he is currently at lvl 42. Im really enjoying the ride :)

I always felt myself attracted for the priest class to, i think i will a start a new priest just for the fun of it, maybe in alliance ("to know better the enemy place ehhe")

I have been playing in the test servers and been playing in the battlegrounds. Its fun to play, but i think that everything is still a bit confusing, lots of people just killing one another, there are missions in the map, that i dont know yet, and many people i think. Have to read more about the battlegrounds, and hope that when get's out we are all more informed of it. I create a lvl 60 shaman in the test server, and then tried also the priest. Uhm thought call to decide i will start a new char now just to be more prepared eheh

What's your opinion about the battleground if you have tried it?

when im playing WOW it comes up with an error randomly and shuts down the game, i go to click send to send the error message but that fails as well....any ideas??

Hard to say that error you are getting but I had a similar problem with WOW also when I first got the game, I had to go into the CMOS and turn off HT technology(if you have a Intel P4), and also turn off any memory speed increase modes which fixed my problem and no problems since!, hope this helps!!!

P.S. A definate great game, have a 60 Warrior right now and really getting into the more difficult instances, trying to get my Valor Set Armor right now, so far I got my Gauntles/Bracers Set's right now and been trying to get my Breastplate, I tried 2(of the same) instances a few days ago for my Breastplate but only dropped once and lost my roll on it<Sigh>, Tried also my Leggings last night but the server crashed and booted everyone out(D'oh!!!), so hopefully try again here soon!, Best of luck..

I like to say that i have been playing this game for 2 months now, and im still more addicted than ever. I dont have a lvl 60 yet, but having a great time wandering around, and creating more than one char.

I dont understand how u guys have time to lvl your char to 60 so quickly, farming for a epic mount and have already some epic armors that take so much time. I dont think i have those for another 2 months of gameplay. I dont consider myself a hardcore gamer, but i still play a lot, 4 hours a day for me is a lot :)

Im just loving this game :)

Tried it, its a helluva grind thats for damn sure, I guess if you enjoy grinding with other guys then this is your game. I prefer GuildWars over this anyday though.

lol a grind... Should blizzard aploligize for making you work to gain levels? or maybe they should just giveeeee you nice gear or how about making all the "harder" instances only 30 min long.... Guild wars IS your game... Still funny though how people compare the two... Guild wars is no MMO and never will be.

Guild Wars is an MMO, it just isn't an MMORPG. And you can easily compare the two. Just like I can compare EQ2 to GW or WoW. Its all personal opinion and as long as you enjoy the game that's all that counts really.

I stopped enjoying WoW a long time ago, to me it WAS a grind. There's one thing having to go into an instance to ovbiously do a series of quests and get awesome new armor. Its another entirely to have to do an instance for hours just to get one item, and then if someone in your party is a noobtard, you all die and fail and have to do it again. Sure that's the persons fault and all, but its still annoying and detracts from the whole.

Don't get me wrong though, WoW has alot of good points, certainly they outweight the bad points. But in the end for me the bad points just piled and piled onto each other and nearly squished me to death.

yeah i quit about 2 months ago, let my guildies play on my 60 lock till the account ran out.? if they fix some stuff about that class and my guild still plays ill go back maybe

Your poor guildies :pp I spent hundreds of gold trying many, many warlock builds after I hit 60, only to find that the fundamental problem with warlocks is that they are the all-around craptastic class, although they have some of the coolest-sounding (but weak) abilities.

You have made a lot of sense here. Most people that quit Warcraft (myself included) feel the same way. It's like a great mystery movie...the ride is fantastic, but once you've seen the outcome, why watch it again?

Exactly. If, and I say again IF Blizzard had ANY end game content in the game, WoW would be much better off. And don't tell me there's a ton of stuff to do after you hit 60. I don't count doing quests for better armor and epic items end game content. Nor do I count staying in The Molten Core for 3 hours trying to find that ultimate weapon end game content.

I could probably live with the honor system the way it is. I could probably live with the server issues and lag. I could even live with the complete idiots and noobtards that play the game, IF there was end game content. 6 or 8 months after the game is released is not the time you add additional content, let alone end game content.

People can complain all they want about other MMORPG's but Everquest II is a perfect example. You may not like the combat system, or the gameplay or the music or whatever it is. But you cannot argue that Sony doesn't put in content. They have put in more content in a single patch than Blizzard has put in TOTAL for WoW, that says it right there for me. Sadly :(

      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.

      @Sayan...I have defended you at various points as I hope you know. This headline however is utter trash...shame on you sir!

      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.
