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i had to update/fix a few of my mods so they worked agian after my move to Linux, and a lot of the info on there is outdated.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.

    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed by Sayan Sen Image by Pascal Küffer via Pexels Researchers at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK) in Heidelberg had recreated a key chemical reaction from the early universe, producing results that could change scientists' understanding of how the first stars formed. The study focused on the helium hydride ion (HeH⁺), which is widely regarded as the first molecule to form in the universe. Scientists believe HeH⁺ appeared around 380,000 years after the Big Bang, when the universe had cooled enough for electrons and atomic nuclei to combine into neutral atoms in a period known as recombination. This marked the beginning of chemistry in the cosmos. Immediately after the Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago, the universe was extremely hot and dense. As it expanded and cooled, hydrogen and helium became the dominant elements. Once neutral helium atoms formed, they could react with ionised hydrogen nuclei, or protons, to create helium hydride ions. Although simple in structure, HeH⁺ played an important role in the young universe. It was the first step in a chain of reactions that eventually produced molecular hydrogen (H₂), a molecule made up of two hydrogen atoms and now the most abundant molecule in the universe. Molecular hydrogen later became a key ingredient in the formation of the first stars. At the time, the universe had entered a phase often called the cosmological "dark age." Matter had become transparent to light following recombination, but there were still no stars or galaxies producing visible light. Several hundred million years would pass before the first stars appeared. For those first stars to form, large clouds of gas had to collapse under their own gravity. To do that, the gas needed to cool by releasing energy. While hydrogen atoms can help with this process at high temperatures, they become less effective below about 10,000 degrees Celsius. Molecules can continue the cooling process by releasing energy through rotational and vibrational motions. Scientists have long considered HeH⁺ a potentially important coolant because of its comparatively large dipole moment, a property that describes how electric charge is distributed within a molecule and allows it to release energy efficiently. The amount of helium hydride present in the early universe may therefore have influenced how easily the first stars could form. At the same time, HeH⁺ was constantly being destroyed. Under primordial conditions, its main destruction mechanisms were recombination with free electrons and chemical reactions with hydrogen atoms. These reactions ultimately helped produce molecular hydrogen, linking the formation and destruction of HeH⁺ to the chemistry that shaped the early universe. For many years, theoretical studies suggested that reactions between HeH⁺ and hydrogen atoms would become much slower at low temperatures. Scientists believed there was an energy barrier along the reaction pathway that reduced the chances of the reaction taking place in the cold conditions of the early universe. The new study suggests otherwise. To investigate the process, researchers recreated a closely related reaction using deuterium, a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen that contains one proton and one neutron in its nucleus. When HeH⁺ collides with deuterium, it forms an HD⁺ ion and a neutral helium atom. This allows scientists to study the reaction in a controlled way while closely mimicking the behaviour of the original reaction involving hydrogen. The experiments were carried out at the Cryogenic Storage Ring (CSR) at MPIK, a specialised facility designed to recreate conditions similar to those found in space. Researchers stored HeH⁺ ions in the 35-metre storage ring for up to 60 seconds at temperatures just a few kelvins above absolute zero and merged them with a beam of neutral deuterium atoms. By adjusting the speeds of the two particle beams, the team measured how the reaction rate changed with collision energy, which is directly related to temperature. The researchers found that the reaction rate remains almost constant as temperatures decrease. In other words, the reaction does not slow down at low temperatures as earlier models predicted. “Previous theories predicted a significant decrease in the reaction probability at low temperatures, but we were unable to verify this in either the experiment or new theoretical calculations by our colleagues,” explained Dr Holger Kreckel of MPIK. “The reactions of HeH⁺ with neutral hydrogen and deuterium therefore appear to have been far more important for chemistry in the early universe than previously assumed,” he continued. According to the researchers, the reaction appears to be barrierless, meaning there is no energy obstacle preventing it from taking place efficiently even at very low temperatures. The findings support recent theoretical work led by physicist Yohann Scribano, whose group identified an error in a widely used potential energy surface, a mathematical model used to describe how the energy of a system changes during a chemical reaction. The error appears to have caused previous studies to significantly underestimate reaction rates under primordial conditions. The new calculations closely match the experimental results. Together, they suggest that helium chemistry in the early universe may need to be re-evaluated. Because molecules such as HeH⁺ and molecular hydrogen played an important role in cooling primordial gas clouds, the findings could help scientists build more accurate models of how the first stars formed. By showing that helium hydride was likely destroyed more efficiently than previously thought, the study offers new insight into the chemical processes that shaped the universe during its earliest stages and helped set the conditions for the emergence of the first stars.

      It could EASILY be 70 for the base game BUT + lots of FOMO to make it up to 100-120, like a few days Early Access, online money, pre-order bonus cars, weapons, missions, clothing, avatars or profile stuff, etc... And still WAY TOO MANY people would buy those and make Rockstar insane money.
