Yup or enter Mount Hyjal or Black temple.

Sweet, I checked this morning to see if the patch had gone live and there was a massive amount of ppls qued up for Magisters Terace, hopefully the servers are back up and a few ppl want to make a start on MT Hyj or BT after work. I think im more excited about seeing those places. Running around getting keyed or attuned always puts me off. I prefer to stroll in free and easy :)

so we had fun in Sunwell last night, Trash is ALOT different than in previous instances, ALOT harder, and requires you to pay attention and not have 5 people just afk auto follow through trash.

15+ trash pulls to get to first boss Kalec, then 2 to get to Brut, then none for last boss, BUT all trash respawns after 2 hours, and will not stop respawning until 3rd boss is killed..........which means no more chain pulling bosses :)

heh after I ran MT5 my group checked out sunwell, those arcane robots(the one on the first pull) hit me for 6K, ouch.

Also ran hyjal last night but only got wave 7/8 in winterchill trash, mostly cause addons were still screwed up.

On Sunwell

Kaelgos > me. We're clearly being sent back to farm T6 for a while. Trash has the feeling of SSC "omg you die now" or the pre-kael stuff from way back in the day. I'm sure once we learn it it'll be a fairly quick and easy farm but hearing it's going to be respawning until we kill Sisters is pretty annoying. It's like we're back with SSC 1.0 45-minute respawn nonsense.

On BT Bugs

We gave up and went back to BT after the first trash respawn and cleared half-way. Things noticed:

Supremus is HUGE and his hitbox scaled to match - it makes onyxia's look small. He has a Tiny Reliquary-style "target circle" though. As he was turning to hateful strike his foot would pass over me and I was still only in range of half the melee. When he died it took us a good minute and a half to find where to stan to loot him. This has got to be a bug.

I sat out for this fight but I could hear over vent that we weren't getting warnings about Doom which lead to constructs in the raid. Apparently watching for the "You gunna die" debuff is hard-mode without a mod. screaming at you.

Akama seemed unchanged. He's still stupidly easy.

Reliquary phase two has no rune shield or deaden?certainly another bug. We still had rogues manage to miss spirit strike! WTF?

10 badges, 50g. I no longer have to do dailies to pay for raiding any more. Life is great. With any luck the issues will be fixed tonight.On Hyjalb>

I heard from friends in other guilds that Hyjal has been nerfed (AoE abilities have a smaller target area) and they've buffed the hell out of the rep-gain (>5k for a full clear). Assuming you convert badges to gems/nethers/vortexes: Hyjal could end up being a better rate of gold/hour than doing daily quests (52g from bosses +20g from trash + 75g from selling a gem) for about 2-hours of play.On Applicantsb>

Sometimes I wonder if the people looking for a raid spot in our guild are just messing with us.

  • 3 greens? Check.
  • 2/5 Imbued Nethereave? Check.
  • "Most of kara" end game experience? Check.
  • 2/5 Season 1 + vindicator bracers? Check.
  • No enchants anywhere? Check.
  • Have to leave an hour before the end of scheduled raid time because you're 13 and your parents don't let you stay up? Check and double check.
  • Want to "raid an get phat lootz lol"? Check.

Perfect! Welcome to the guild, please come collect your free tier 6.

lol @ evn

I dunno we did Kara last night and it just seemed "harder". But I know we didn't have the top notch dps people on, and took new people/alts. But damn I dunno if it was just the lag but everything was going slow. Like everything's health was bump uped. I dunno it was probally the lag, that made it seem that way, but I did hear from others in SSC/TK that trash/bosses seemed different.

I'm hoping to get a MT run going and hopefully this time the world server won't crash.

Cleared Magister's Terrace today in both normal and heroic mode. Heroic mode was surprisingly easy except for the 3rd boss (Priestess Delarissa) which is a very annoying and random encounter. Kael'thas wasn't much harder in heroic than in normal mode. We only wiped once on him because our tank got one-shotted by a 44k pyroblast from Kael. Got him on 2nd try and I got my epic chest (Tunic of the Ranger Lord).

I finally completed it on normal, haven't tried Heroic yet, but I don't it's much hard. 3rd boss only thing I'm worried about. Don't think kael will give me a problem, I'm always bringing high dps people, so we should be able to burn that sheild quickly.

*double post*

Was going to edit in, but server is down atm, Eldre'Thalas is currently at 98% and with dailies reseted and with are high late night/early morning crowd should be in phase2, as soon as server comes back online. Where's everyone elses server?

Bloodboil without functional threat meters wasn't worth the trouble so we went to Hyjal: just confirming the first three seem way easier than I remember (haven't been in a while). Maybe it's placebo, maybe it's rediculous regen for healers, maybe illidari council has made us really good at not standing in stuff. All the same it felt nerfed.

Hoping to get a group to do magtheridon this weekend just to see how ti goes.

I need another 20 slot bag.

I got the +12 def enchant from heroic MT today. I wonder what that scales like at level 19...

I finally completed it on normal, haven't tried Heroic yet, but I don't it's much hard. 3rd boss only thing I'm worried about. Don't think kael will give me a problem, I'm always bringing high dps people, so we should be able to burn that sheild quickly.

You'll want to slow down with the dps on the 2nd boss in heroic. He spawns the adds at certain % of his HP and they come in packs of 2. So if you dps him down too quickly you'll get overrun by adds and get too many debuffs from killing them. Since the debuff stacks you'll want to take turns on dps-ing the adds so that one person doesn't get too many stacks.

I've just respecced my DPS Palladin to Holy/Healer and I hate it :(

I've wasted my honour buying healing roled armour :(

ffs...

Weeks of BG wasted.

What do you guys think of Tank Palladins??

Well you have probably already been made fun of for being a DPS Paladin. Just look at it this way, as a tank paladin you _just_ might get into a group lol.

@Audio: Probally been mentioned 1000 times already in thread, but what's your bar, and quest and map, and clock, and....all addons? That's exactly something I been looking for.

It was actually Spookie's UI!

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=589228845

He then posted it in a pack on the same page

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...amp;p=589229978

Page - https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...812&st=2775

On installing though, not everything looked right - I had to spend an hour or so changing things about. Every addon I use is in Spookies pack though, I just recommend you get WUU - WoW UI Updater - http://wuu.vagabonds.info/ , To update them all before playing!

Especially with patch 2.4 just out :yes:

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
