Biggest updates from 2.4 that are not Sunwell related are obviously:

No More Diminishing returns. Honor is calculated instantly and is available to spend instantly.

Warlocks can summon anyone into instances.

Well I have been using this UI for a little while, but only just decided/remembered (take your pick) to take a couple of pictures of it.

There is a few things not visible in the screens, the party and raid layouts, and there is some mouseover bars down the bottom which contain quick links to buffs (Molten Armor, Dampen Magic etc etc) and spells i use rarely (Like Frost Ward, Conjuring stuff etc etc), I have spent hours painstakingly tweaking, and modifying it thus far, and still continue to change it just a little every time I login. I just need to grab some screenies of the raid and party screens.

The screens are a little old, i had to update/fix a few of my mods so they worked agian after my move to Linux, and a lot of the info on there is outdated. Like the score for my highest hit is no longer, 6k it's 9k and so forth. I really hate the three minute mage spec, but it's going pretty well in Arenas thus far.

All of the rest of my spells are on hidden bars and binded to keys, I decided to go for a clean, sleek and minimalist setup this time.

All of the unit frames will highlight with a bright border so they can be easily decursed (Using a mouseover decurse macro), and highlights a slight blue if they are missing AI.

Anyways here are the screens (Click to enlarge)

Does anyone know when the 2.4 patch is gona be released?

Will the changes have a big effect on ret pallys?

Looks like 2.4 will be on PTR's this week. Give it 2-4 weeks for testing, I say March.

As far as ret pally's. Blizz confirms it will help ret pallys increase dps, by changing stats on gear, etc.

Paladin

* Items intended for Retribution Paladins have had their stats adjusted. Retribution Paladins should see an increase in dps as a result

I have a question.

There's these bats in some cities that fly you quickly to other cities. (Sepulcher to UC for example) What cities are these bats located in? I'm on Kalimdore right now, and have to run ridiculously long distances for small quests. Are there tansportation bats in Orggrimar, Crossroads, anywhere?

You may want to look at the Atlas Mod to find all the flight paths. You can easily see them on the map they include. The more places you go to, the more paths you'll discover. But yeah, until you hit 40, plan on running all over the place :(

Hi guys, yet another question ;-)

Is there a quick way to switch through friendly players on BGs for healing? I often find myself taking valuable time looking for people who need healing...

thanks in advance

I personally dont use any mods so there are probably alot of easier ways to do it if you are but in BG i bind the F key to show friendly healthbars, not sure what it is as default. Obviously if they are in your own group the F1 - F5 keys work well but that's not so helpfull in BG i guess. Other than that Ctrl+Tab as Evn suggested

You will find Wingriders at most towns and cities, you will find them the further out you explor. if you've just reached Kalimdore you will find yourself running long distances until you get these. Best thing to to is set aside a bit of time to pick some of the Flighpaths up. Orggrimar has one in a tower behind the bank, then i would say head to the crossroads, ratchet, camp Taurajo for your barrens quests. splintertree post in ashenvale if you're heading that way.

I have quests that I do, that take me to a new city often. And there, will be all new quests. I still have quests from older cities. Should I make the new cities my waypoint and forget the old quests? Or go back.

that one is a matter of prefference really, i find it's best to have quests from a couple of areas in your log and flick between the two. as long as the text on the quest hasn't gone gray you will still get worthwhile XP from the quests but you can stretch yourself a bit thin if you keep picking up quests as soon as you arrive in a new area.

I would recommend picking up and keeping your green/yellow quests and working through them and you'll find the red/orange ones should then turn yellow/green by the time you have cleared what you have. This may mean that you end up going back and forth between zones, if that's not what you fancy then just whip through everything in one location.

in regards to your hearthstone it will really depend on the zones and the distance between them i guess. Once you get a few levels under your belt and a few more Flighpaths you may find it easier to just bind it to a capital city (org UC or TB) as you they are quite central and have banks.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
