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).

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!

      Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
