I've quit WoW twice now, and after talking to a girl in work, ended up buying the Burning Crusade. Goodbye social life (for the third time) :p

Oh well sometimes you win sometimes you lose in the end ull be playing World of Warcraft till the end :D

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

Wich Party Frames are That, Look quit awesome i got aG_Unitframes , but cant nothing make similiar like that someone help me ?

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?

no sorry there is no way to target a specific mark.. At least not currently in the game

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

Wich Party Frames are That, Look quit awesome i got aG_Unitframes , but cant nothing make similiar like that someone help me ?

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.

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
