I saw one in general chat shortly after the servers came up after patch (I reset my UI so I had joined the 'crap' channels automatically). Right click -> Report as Spam -> Yes.

Congratulations!

I had a quick look over your guild armory pages and noticed that most people had very little raid experience (at least on those characters). Karazhan is much more difficult than Molten Core or Zul'Gurub was at level 60 so if you're in there and killing Atunemen and Moroes then your raid is doing very well. It's a huge step-up in difficulty from 5-man stuff and without a history of raiding before expansion your group must be learning very quickly.

Maiden is a really rough fight on your healers especially without a paladin (I didn't see one in your guild). You should really consider skipping her for a while and trying the Opera house event. 2 of the three events are just tank and spank fights, and big bad wolf is pretty funny—as in "laughing on vent" funny. You may take one or two attempts to work out the strategies but luck and timing play much smaller roles in those fights. Opera opens up the back door which makes repeated attempts on Curator easier than Maiden now that his trash re-spawn is nerfed. If you can get him (which is a much more controllable fight than Maiden) then you'll also get access to Chess and a couple more free epics every week.

Also, the trash past opera will pay for a full night of wiping—it drops 1-3g per person per pull.

You think right, we are very low experienced in Karazhan at the moment! But slowly progressing, we might be taking a shot at it tonight so if we do without a Paladin (usually PUG one) I will ask to skip it and go onto the Opera Event, which yes does sound fun t:)me! :)

There is a current bug that you can have your Netherdrake mount while flying around. I have had it happen numerous times, pretty cool and fun to have people think you already have one.

Rep grinding for one isn't to bad, it's mainly the same set of daily quests over and over.

Im so proud. I did Childrens week to earn alot of gold and discovered how much the auctioning business makes. Of course I'm still a n00b and sold most of the Dagger set for around 5 silver a piece. :p I did sell something else for like 4-5 gold though. :)

i chose the turtle. :D

i made an undead warlock on the Earthen Ring server. my goal is to be a part of the 'iacta alea est' guild. :o

"The die has been cast". Umm might have to ask those guys why that name by the great Julius Ceaser quoting Suetonius. Man wikipedia is the ****.

Yeah, it bugged for me when out of transform areas in Shadowmoon Valley.. Didn't last long though. I'm 5k into revered at the moment. The rep aint too hard, and the quests don't take too long (On a low pop realm) Just wish i could be a bit more lucky when it comes to getting the damn eggs. A friend of mine on the same realm hit exalted yesterday, so lucky :(

Anyone else think the Sha'tari rep quests around Skettis are a bit of a pain? The droprates on dust etc really suck.

Can someone help...

i've just noticed i've been playing US servers for my trial account and i've gone a brought a EU serial, i take it that its not possible to upgrade using that key as i've just gotten an error.

so basically i've got to start over again?

got to lvl 26 in a week so should be able to do it again hopefully... :(

With the trial being limited to level 20, I call bull****. :p

Nevertheless, it shouldn't be that hard to get to level 20 again... after I started playing again it took me something like a day to get to level 16 (that was pretty much the whole day though) on a totally new class and start location for me, taking the time to read all the quest texts thoroughly and trying to enjoy myself. So... imo, it's not that big a deal. :)

To answer your question though: You can convert, but I wouldn't be surprised if they charge you for it. And, at least upon release, they stated it might take a couple of weeks. Plenty of time to even reach level 70. ;)

oops i didnt mean lvl26 i ment 16, slip of the ol' finger it seems. i've started on a new server now anyway UK, i've managed to get to lvl 10 in 4 hours, probably not thaty great compared to most people but its not bad for me.

just sucks thinking about all thats stuff i had in the bank and money on there.

thanks for any help anyways guys.

Anyone else think the Sha'tari rep quests around Skettis are a bit of a pain? The droprates on dust etc really suck.

yeah i only think they suck as i now have people running all over my fishing hole, it used to be nice and quiet up there :(

the dust is awful for drop rate I agree...on my server i've not seen any on the AH but it can be sold...might be a niche in the market there.

best part i found about those Sha'tari Skyguard rep was getting the Arokkar costume as a druid, you stayed in the costume in flight form so could dive bomb people as a proper bird man :D

is it just me or is worldofwarcraft.com down, and so is the game auth system? and when you can log in, either no one is there playing, or settings are screwy like not being able to mount, and the friends/guild list cleared so no one is in it?

this as of midday AEST 30th may.

Need some advice...

I'm going to be rolling a Troll Huntard on a RPPVP realm with some guildmates, and I'm completely at a loss as to what to name him. So any suggestions would be appreciated, but bear in mind, this will be for a rppvp server, so nothing like 'loldpspewpew', 'Supahunta' or any kiddie crap like that.

'ZOMGHAIDOWNTHARMON' << Has the 'mon' at the end, which conforms to the troll RP element. Enjoy!

:p

Just kidding, of course. Check out http://www.behindthename.com/ - might have some names you find interesting... might now. I always take time to find a nice name for my characters, and I appreciate other people doing the same. Then again, you WILL get a warning if you have a name that clearly breaks the RP convention... trust me (clarification: my main server was down one day, I was bored. Created an orc named XSUPERKILLERX or some such on an RP realm and ran from Org to IF and planted my corpse right outside the AH. Got a nice little warning. :<). ;)

...Thank you so much for that link. That will help immensely!!

On my old realm, someone did the same with a female nelf huntard. Someone created a toon named 'Welcome' and planted her corpse right outside the main gate to Org. :laugh:

  • 2 weeks later...

sup fellas, i was just browsing through 1up and came acroos this screen. Anyone know which UI mod this is? That makes is so minimal toward the bottom of your screen. None of that other stuff i never click on. (character info, spells n abilities, talent buttons) much rather be without them.

    • 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.
