Hehe i'm on my 6th time back playing it! Mean I already quit 5 times. I also really think exit #6 is coming up real soon, getting bored as a board already and only been playing 10 days.

I'm still not over it. I'm having withdrawal symptoms waiting for 2.1.0 to download :p

yay coming back to WoW. Except, I don't know what to roll. Debating between: hunter, warrior, druid or.... mage. What do you guys think? I want to pvp mainly, and I normally do solo pvp in the BGs. Maybe some 10 man raids and definetely heroics. I don't think I will have time for 25 man raids (maybe grull and mag).

Anyone have the MD5 sum for the 2.012 to 2.1 ENGB patch? I'm downloading from a mirror and I'd like to check against someone else

E11956EAAD99A3676F0588431E8234BC wow-partial-1.MPQ

59FAB75B61B911C53104F6BF3CD044A9 wow-partial-2.MPQ

That is all I can do for you. The Blizzard downloader downloaded that. :p

Edit: More coming apparently. Since I don't have an active subscription I haven't really bothered with patching any more than put the background downloader on. Don't want any 385 meg surprises when I start playing again. ;P

Edit 2: AD43CE65C0477F46307E371C5EA04C37 wow-final.MPQ

I think choice between those characters depends on where you want to be in a battle and the level of armor you want. Personally, I've been happiest with a Mage as I love the power of the magic they wield and like standing back in a battle, and have my main character as one. Only drawback of Mages is the lack of armor but being able to teleport between cities (for you or a group you're in) and conjure up water and food (saving buying them), as well as having the most destructive magic makes them my favorite character. Hunters and warriors are also great fun, but I like magic more than hand weapons.

Mages are great, but what do I know I have played one for 3yrs now :p

Hunters are awesome for PvP and level extremely fast, problem is they were not needed for alot of end game instances. Which sucked, but supposedly 2.1 was going to address that.

Druids: I love my druid, so fun to have a real option. Play a healer, and sit back and just heal all day, or play a warrior or rogue in cat/bear forms.. They are pretty easy to level considering the different forms, and the ability to heal yourself, but can get expensive on the armor side since you need to find 2 to 3 different sets of armor depending on what you want to do at the time. Great Hybrid though, and alot of fun to play.

I think I will make a mage. They are always wanted for DPS and CC and I do not like healing that much (hated it on my priest), and I don't know how wanted a cat druid would be.

Thanks for the help guys. Also, what spec would you recommend for a mage while leveling up? I got a mage to 34 or so previously, but I got bored as I just keep AOE grinding with frost.

I've tried twice, never reached level 40... mage is by far the most boring class ever made. :p

Feral druids can tank and tanks are rare. They're great through Karazhan (unless your horde where Nightbane > tremor totem). Past that the abilities of warriors make them prefered raid tanks. For all 5-man content druids are top tier. As DPS they are also quiet respectable assuming they're well played. Losing some CC sucks but that really doesn't matter until you're doing harder heroics anyway.

5/5 Arcane Missiles then go down frost for solo play. Frost bolt -> Arcane Missiles spam is brutally effective at low levels. It took me about 3 days played to get to 39 using something like this. Not ideal, but it did the job.

A 40 I started grouping with friends for instances regularly so I went full fire to spam scorch. With 150-200 spell damage at level 50?€”PvP rewards + a couple "of fiery wrath" greens and a couple of tailored pieces?€”I'm able to grind and group effectively.

In a couple of more levels we'll be heading to Outland and I'm thinking that a 3-minute mage build with spell power is the way to go as I expect a fair bit of PvP this time around.

In Burning Crusade Feral Druids are most popular, but really only for one thing: Tanking. (This is apparently all we can do if were Feral, not like myself doing decent DPS;)nd Off Healing) ;) My character JMann (70 Druid) I like to think I have 3 very decent sets of gear one for each type (Healing, DPS, Tanking) I have just started Karazhan got to the 3rd Boss Maiden at the moment and I am usually tanking and get the slight DPS spots sometimes.

Best Server, but still way to many Gold spammers. ;)

speaking off Gold spammers.. How is it now with the patch?

I had a buddy tell me yesterday that he got about 6, when I am on the same server and got 0.

I know usually in a normal day "pre-patch" I got around 25-30 gold spams

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
