I'll try my mage at PVP, but "everyone" says they suck.

Not that I care, I make my characters as I enjoy playing them :D

I want to go back to old instances and plow through them with a mage - Hunter was good, but they don't have great AOE.

It may be pretty :blink: , but I love the feeling you get powering through an instance that gave you grief as a low char all by yourself as a high char!

;)

Plus im in a decent guild this time so I should get to enjoy more end game content, never really had a good guild with my hunter.

WOW

What a fun night.

We attacked Darnassus first and wiped evryone and everything out :)

Then moved onto Exodar and did the same :)

Lastly IronForge

Some idiots ran past the bank and pulled about 70 guards along the way :( So we got wiped in the throne room :( We put up a good fight though :)

Good times good times..

Funny this I was questing in WPL and someone asked me if I was a botter, as I have gotten over 23+ levels in the last 3days now. Sometimes its just not good to level fast :p .

Also I heard that 2.4 was coming out this Tuesday or the following week is that true, and can someone give a link for the heroic badge rewards that are coming out as well, I want to see all the goodies that are installed for us :)

Man 1% wipes suck.

So we had Spite/Bane left on timer, and we went in, with some new people, new pally tank to teach them the fights and get last piece of gear. (i need 3 drops left, and with 2.4 tommorow or next week, rest of upgrades come from badges). We do fine on Nightbane, I was tanking and got really unlucky with Shield Block CD and crushes. RNG just wasn't friendly. So we decided to go for spite. Now this is the first major coordination fight, that helps you (IMO) weed out people for 25 mans. Well I explained fight, and we start, first try down to 40% not bad, with 4 new peopel including tank. So we give him 2 more tries. 3rd he's at 1% where pally tank goes down right when enrage starts. I'm thinking it's only 1% we have everyone up we can burn him. I was in green beam keeping it off him, what I didn't plan to think of was, him running around aggroing, so as soon as tank went down. Bam he runs around, taking green beam off me. Instantly up to 8%. And we called it.

That sucked so bad. As I need the shoulders from him for one of my last upgrades. :(

enrage sucks on that bugger and the running around is exactly why ime. I like the fight as it kind of flips things around and, as you say, needs good co-ordination as everyone has a part to play. Shame about 1% wipe but at least you got to scare some of the inexperienced players :D how many tanks did you have out of interest? if you were tanking bane previousy but holding green beam? did you stick with the 1 pally tank for spite? i've only ever healed or DPS'd through both fights personally.

Every other officer in the guild: "OMG Sunwell, let's go!"

Me: "Why don't we spend a few days clearing BT/Hyjal to let people get their mods updated and the obvious bugs in Sunwell get found and squashed?"

Others: "OMG Fat loots! Motes! Rep! New Content!"

Me: "Um...we're not planning for world firsts, who cares if we're two days behind? In fact, raiding on patch day always sucks - lets just do 5-man stuff tonight and pick up an extra day later this week"

Others: "Fat loots! Rep! New Content"

Me: "We're barely done with the old stuff, most of the guild hasn't seen Illidan..."

Others: "New content! Rep! Fat loots! Must get finished before expansion OMG!"

I hate patch day.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there's new stuff but trying to get a raid together on Tuesday is death.

props to you , ticks me off that people are more concerned with gear/loot then actually experiencing what the game has to offer

unfortunately i have only seen up to SSC/TK ( couple boss's short of full clear )

Just pray for a fast wipes on wave 7 trash and Rage. The frustration with half-hour trash clears should put an end to it ;)

Look on the bright side: you get much better loot for much less effort. Unless you have absolutely no business in those instances you'll end up 4/5 and 4/9 in no-time (1-3 pulls of each boss should be all it takes). Plus the trash is somewhat more interesting that the crap leading to Kael, even if there is a metric crapload of it.

Am soo sick of Kael now, were at the 10% mark being our best. Last night was a complete balls up as we had 4 new guys and i had to tank some of the weps on p2 (as a retadin). Needless to say when the GM finally clicked that HOJ wasnt an interupt/kick I got moved from the staff to the mace.

Im not raiding tonite for our final kael try, im gonna grind instead get some much needed gold together for the next few weeks of trash wipes as we enter Hyj/BT. Tho Im gonna get some mates together tomoz and just rattle thru Magisters Terrace repeatedly to get the old rep up ;)

So does 2.4 mean I dont need to be keyed to run through Kara now?

Yup or enter Mount Hyjal or Black temple.

I dunno about ya'll but don't die, on the new island. 2% wipe on Kael (easiet boss ever) since they couldn't avoid the damn orbs. And world server is down. So you release you crash and can't log back onto that toon. :(

We had 2, me and an under-geared pally tank who did pretty damn good. He was doing fine, healers were keeping him up, I only ever need 1 or 2 heals when I tank, and that's only if I'm slow to get back into beam. If pallies only had last stand, we would have had him. :(

Cleaning out the screenshots directory waiting on the patch to install I came across this:

He got bugged out on some of the taurens up near the tower and spent 2 minutes mana burning us. By the time we got him on to a tank healers were almost toast.

We burned him as best we could but lost to attrition. At the end we had a tree druid (who hid in bear form while he was being stupid) and Thrall take him down to about 8k HP before it was over.

Low-HP wipes suck, but wiping with a mandatory 30 minute "clear trash for failure" penalty sucks extra hard.

I miss the AQ bug-tunnel style gauntlets. It was fast, fun, and most importantly: you could recover from a wipe.

      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.
