Hopefully. Considering one of the zones was empty untill a few days ago. I'm not holding much hope for level 66 onwards.

http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.htm...=2&sid=1#25

We are in the process of tuning the leveling curve for the expansion. The Beta is the absolute best time for us to tune this curve. We made changes this week and we're watching things closely. Don't be surprised to see more changes over the course of the Beta. Those who participated in the original WoW Beta will remember the curve changing many times before release.

The most recent changes included:

--Lengthening the curve a bit

--Placing more emphasis on Quest Reward Experience

--Placing more emphasis on Dungeon Experience

--Placing less emphasis on grinding outdoor creatures while not on a quest (sorry to Cartman and the South Park kids killing their 1,232,232 fel boars)

Something that's *very* important to note:

Three entire zones are not open in the Beta -- Blade's Edge Mountains, Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley. These will be full of quests. The lack of these zones is undoubtedly going to skew feedback until we open them.

Ultimate Goal:

An experience curve that does not require "grinding" outdoor mobs. So long as you are always questing through your leveling experience, we've achieved our goal. If you ever need to "stop" and kill creatures to open up quests, then we have more tuning to do. We will not require people to go into the Dungeons. HOWEVER, dungeon exp will be very rewarding for those who choose to attempt the added challenge.

Must be nice to be spoilt. 16 and you owned a car and felt the need to vandalise other peeps property.

Never said I owned a car. Was my dad's let me drive to work and school, as long as I paid for insurance, gas, repairs and took care of it. I paid for the engine that I replaced, I paid for all the other parts to be repaired, continue to paid insurance, and to this date I still don't own a vechile that's mine. And I didn't feel the need to vandlise someone elses property, was drunk. None of what I said should have happeneded and I shouldn't have done it, but when if you lived in the area I did, you would quickly realize there wasn't anything else to do. And the truck in question was a piece of ****, beat down truck so I didn't give a crap about it, it only became good when I replaced the engine and fixed up random other parts.

On-topic, there's a blue post on the WoW forums that confirms the release date is solid and will not be pushed back.

Fair doos mate but I come fae Glasgow knife crime capital of the world, and its that attitude of "nothing better" to do thats led to kids out stabbing folk to death!!

Also soz if I seemed an ass but I live in amongst folk who dont realise just how good theyve got it, but insist upon killing each other over boredom.

Remember theres always an alternative.

Small notice. If you currently make a mod/addon for WoW. I think wowinterface.com is giving away keys to folk who keep them updated! Would be worth uploading them to there if you don't normaly.

Pallys get screwed again. Their tier 2 armor is sweet but the t3 and t4 and t5 all look terrible.

Blizzard just hates pallys I think.

Stop your bloody crying! Why is every player an angsty teen who things every man and their dog hates them? /rant

The armour is a place holder (check the beta forums).

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
