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).

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By WaltC · Posted

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mindovermaster · Posted

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
