Just got a burning crusade beta key. I'm looking to sell it though as I don't have the time to play.

Don't mention it here, just chuck it up on ebay. Loads of people want one. Not to mention the more that flood the market the cheaper they become. :)

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).

Agreed!

*cough*naked gnome protest*cough*(If you're not sure what this is, look it up on YouTube, a huge group of Gnomes got together and went streaking through towns to protest their lack of abilities, I heard they ended up crashing the server)

I like the game just the way it is, and get beat in BGs by Alliance sometimes, so I don't see any way that the game is unbalanced, it's the players. Some human warriors I can own, even if they're higher level than me, in fact just today I took on a rogue, warrior and mage in Warsong Gulch by myself, all of whom were higher level than me, and won. But then again I have fought human warriors lower level than me who eat me alive. It's all in how you play your character. If you get beat a lot in BGs it's because you or the people you're playing with are doing something wrong, not because the opposite side is stronger than you are or because your race is weaker than the rest. Sorry to add to the /rant but I hear people on the official forums constantly whining, "Horde players always win in the BGs we never win, they're made stronger than us". I will admit that in the BGs I fight in we win 7 out of 10 matches, but those 7 matches consist of Alliance players acting like noobs and just running straight down the middle trying to farm HKs. The 3 out of 10 we lose, the Alliance players formulate strategies, they play their class(healers heal, warriors tank, etc.) and they travel in groups, as well as keep people stationed to defend the flag(if it's Warsong Gulch that is). And that's my two cents.

Twinks are out of the question now. Enchants like Crusader etc have been moved to level 35 min.

I've heard of new enchants being level restricted but current enchants were going to stay the way they were. At least that's what I heard, where does it say Crusader is to 35.

Has anyone played on PTR? It's really laggy with constant crashing. As much as the new talents and changes look awesome I really hope the patch is delayed another 4-5 weeks. I have 4 weeks until I hit HWL. I rolled on a new server and I am only rank 12, almost 13.

I have an undead warlock and 7/43/11 (around there) looks like an awesome PvP spec. I was testing the non destruction part of the build and it looks amazing with high damage.

Demonology has gotten a nice chunk of damage increase with the felguard and the new damage talents. Also full destruction looks great too. (7/5/39 right now)

Finally character was put on PTR and fully installed, updated and 600 person que. /sigh

You're not missing much. All talents don't come in to their own until TBC.

Saying that the 'nerfs' are there from the get go! :p

Time to respec frost for me now Fire has the same DPS with out the survivablity. Ice lance + frozen warrior = 3 shot win.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
