My PVE Retri gear is gonna see some mad increases, at present im at 1850AP / 25.4% crit unbuffed. Can see it reaching 2k Ap easily with some gear swaps, and with the 3% crit increase coming im gonna balance my gear down so im at the 25% (dont care for 28% crit) and use the off set crit to boost ap and hit rating up.

At mo im threat capping like a freak when I go ret for anything be it Kara or 5 mans, so its gonna be nice to be able to push my full dps cycle without "You Have Aggro" flashin up all the time and having to use my bubble as a **** aggro reset.

PIMP MY RET PALLY!!

Btw if you have a retadin then http://cromfel.battlefield.fi is your safe haven :)

Thanks for the heads up! :)

As with any large patch to any game there is always bugs and probs. Even when tested on a PTR there are many more things that come out of the woodwork cme patch day when its applied to live servers.

Theres only ever half a dozen PTR servers compared to about 100 live servers. A PTR will see maybe a few thousand people play on it, whilst yet again on the live servers your talking maybe a few million.

Personally 2.3 has been good so far to me, lags been fine, got my ui working reasonably well and grabbed some new gears etc.

However I do share the pain, Im unable to vendor anything in stacks of more than 1, meaning I have to split stacks of say Netherweave cloth up into 1 piece at a time and vendor it that way. Its really annoying when u have 5 20stacks. Sadly its not caused by my addons instead seems to be a bug affecting people, hopefully with a hot fix coming soon.

But hey its to be expected, these things always happen with patches. In any game!

Count yourself lucky guys, I woke up this morning fired up the PC played Crysis for 5 mins then my gfx card thats only 4months old packed in, cant play wow, cant play nowt.

No ZA / SSC / 5 man nothing all i get is a bsod after about 10mins playtime

Apparently the bear mount is a 100% chance to drop from the 4th chest in the timed event so knowing that we're going to have a go at it this week. Give the time to clear (2 hours), the quality of rewards (tier-5 iLevel but very well itemized) and the badges/hour ratio (better than farming heroics, and more fun than karazhan) its a good way to kill an off-night.

You also make pretty good coin in there. I'd estimate I made about 50-60g for the full clear + shards/dust

That doesn't sound right. ?I'd assume it's the same drop rate as the ZG Raptor/Tiget mounts and the Karazahn horse. ?The only difference is that you get more than 1 chance at it dropping in a given instance. ?(A guildy got it from a vase)

I'll have to check tomorrow if they've done a full timed run though.

Season 3 starts today :). My alt is finally going to become my main once I get enough honor for some gear.

What guild are you in adamb10?

My raiding guild was <Sold Out> on arthas/mal'ganis, if you scroll down here our the kill dates for us: http://www.so-guild.com/pages/information.php. We did end up killing Kel'thuzad but TBC ended our reign and we decided to go casual. Now I'm back to my horde characters which i started in 2004 :p

As of recently I've been guild hoping. :p The first 3 guilds I was in when I first hit 70 disbanded so I hopped over to Critalin which at the time was attemping to kill Kael. Right now there in BT, there on teron gorefiend I think. I left because my gear wasnt good enough for SSC at the time. I've been in crappy guilds since then but now I found a new guild I like.

The progression on my server sucks(hakkar) as no one on it has killed Illidian yet and only recently has the horde ventured in BT. The guild is "reign", we just started trying to kill the loot reaver in TK on sunday(got it down to 60%), raiding gruuls tonight. :)

BTW yeah thats Bartender 3 in the screenshots.

      As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      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 hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      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.
