WoW is probably my favorite game, but christ, every time I read some post by some jerkoff that treats the game like it's a JOB, I just want to make a peon cry. Hate to break it to some of you, but there are guilds out there that do end-game content that aren't all hardcore 'this-class-must-spec-this-way-to-raid-or-GTFO' guilds. Usually people with crazy stuff like... real lives, and whatnot aren't going to force anyone else to do anything, and usually aren't a bunch of ###### like some guilds I've been in.

Thats a real good point you have made there. Some guilds are just so hardout in the game that I think they have just forgotten that it is just a game and that your ment to have fun, not to be a "bunch of ######". There is still pro's and con's to guilds being like that, for instance you dont wont a guild packed with people who are just going to come on when ever they feal like it and get into kara and think that they are going to win every drop they need. Were there is the guild which is still ruffly the same but more harsh when it comes to who gets into kara and who just dont make the cut, generaly when this happens you will down all the bosses in the raid and get the gear you need/wont. So either way it is almost a win win situation:D

That's kinda how we are. We are a full raiding guild, (been doing Kara for over 2 months now, have it on clear) but are 80% made up of friends and/or family. We are very laid back guild, we do not expect you to spec any certain way unless your spec just plain sucks, in which case we will explain why it sucks and help to respec a better way :p We do expect everyone in our guild to be respectful of others, do not use the word "gay" to explain someone or a class (we do have a couple of homosexual members) and thats about it. Its very relaxed but fun.

Those guilds are out there, they are just far and few between now.. Most guilds have become color blind, the only color they see is PURPLE.. and it's like the ring in LOTR, screw everyone else, we need to get that ring NOW, I dont care how just do it!!!

I just sold my account for a few hundred dollars to kick the habit. I've quit probably almost a dozen times now, I can't say I've been more addicted to anything else in my entire life.

Yeah very addictive game. I would have to say the time that your most addicted to play is when your not, e.g you just sold your account and now your probily really tempted to play, by saying this what I mean is once you start playing is the second your hooked for life :D

This is my current UI, I dumped Bartender3 and cyCircled because of some bugs, and I find the default action bars just fine...

Btw, I'm not using the bow on that pic, i was just trying it out since I'm a Beast Mastery specced Hunter, and with that bow I get an attack speed of 1.74. :p

Does anyone know a way to set-up a macro to switch your target to the Triangle marked mob? In kara I usually grab Skull and Triangle, and I need to get some hate on Triangle, but usually the priests shackle and triangle are standing on top of each other, and often I have targeted the shackled mob and broke it without grabbing the Triangle. So is there some way to target the triangle without clicking by a macro or something?

just asking about the conflict going on with Phantasmorph and Smeltn, was your guild I just want to make a peon cry. Also how come Phantasmorph has a problem with serious guilds in World of Warcraft?

I...don't think there's a conflict? I certainly didn't mean it that way. I was just saying, some of the guys with that mentality annoy the **** out of me. When I said that about 'make a peon cry' I was talking about cancelling my account...you know, that little graphic with the crying peon when you cancel.

I don't have a problem with "serious" guilds in World of Warcraft, in so much that its a GAME and I play games to have fun and relax. I was in two really fun guilds that slowly changed into hardcore raiding guilds, and I watched people I liked become purple-addicted jerkoffs in a matter of months. And other good people blown off because they didn't have the time or inclination to treat this GAME like a job. If people are into that sorta thing, more power to them, I just don't see the point. Maybe I see it differently than some, but there is a social aspect that is essential for MMOs, and I don't want to have to sit and watch barely literate garbage spam up my /gchat just because such-and-such clown might be a jackass, but he's geared well. That's just not something I want to deal with.

It's all a moot point anyways, since a lot better games will be coming out and I'll probably be canceling my wow account when they do.

That makes alot of sence now. Sorry about the quessing of conflict going on.

Also in replying to the comment left with Nicholas-c "it was only a matter of time im using trial help me!!!" I quess this is were your hooked in playing the game for a very long time. I suggest to you is to head down to your local gaming store and get yourself a copy of World of Warcraft and the expansion The Burning Crusade, and be in for a long time of fun and enjoyment:D

The UI frames I've used on that screenshot are also ag_UnitFrames but with a special theme pack, aUF_Layouts. If you want the same effect as mine, choose yaBF (or at least something like that, I don't quite remember since I'm not using them anymore) from the menu, and make the border, health bar and mana bar colors black.

How do you level up fast? My friend said he could get to level 10 in 45 minutes where as it takes me several days to do.

Your friend talks ****.

Follow the natural progression of the quests (starting area > local town will get you to level 10), update your skills (every even numbered level) and take a trade skill which will give you a boost to your combat skills.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

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

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
