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.

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...

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:

    • Tixati 3.43

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans channel user profiles in much less time Fixed problems with file name parsing and date handling in RSS Faster and more accurate RSS filtering and episode number detection Several optimizations to global text processing functions, such as UTF-8 cleaning, line splitting, and token parsing Complete update of port-mapping UPNP/NAT-PMP engine, added PCP support, mapping over VPN support, and more Several refinements to default gateway detection on Windows / Android, which is used for port-mapping Support for IPv6 interface-scoped addresses, which is sometimes needed for IPv6 gateway detection and port mapping Full support for PCP port remapping, added backup zero-port query in case requested port is rejected New UPNP/NAT-PMP Monitor in Help > Diagnostics New reflected local port/location tracker that analyzes DHT replies to detect true port/location and NAT mapping type New TCP/UDP Ports monitor in Help > Diagnostics, with several statistic and information tabs, and a detailed event log Calculated/reflected local port is now used for port parameter in tracker queries and peer handshake Fixed several problems with Linux Wayland compatibility Completely replaced tray icon functions in Linux, new SNI implementation is now the default with GSI backup Implemented full DBus-Menu server to be used by new SNI tray icon implementation Replaced Linux tray balloon notification DBus client Rewrote auto-shutdown DBus interface for Linux Rewrote sleep inhibit DBus interface for Linux Dropped deprecated Linux dbus-glib dependencies Completely new Windows asynchronous file handling, now using IOCP model with several block-alignment optimizations Better handling of system network resets and interface down/up cycles Added option to fully clear configuration in Settings > Import/Export Remember last option checkboxes when using Import/Export Fixed minor I2P incoming connection routing problems Much faster I2P vanity host name finder Much faster channel user vanity key finder Raised length limit for torrent tracker remote failure messages to 120 from 64 Fixed problems setting download location on a torrent before the meta info is resolved Added location/MOC paths to category pane tooltips Several minor Web Interface fixes Refinements to static and scrolling ellipsizing layout routines Several fixes and improvements to single and multi-line text edit controls Many other minor fixes throughout the user interface A major overhaul of the Android framework has also been done: API target raised to 35, page alignment set to 16K Rewrote all inset processing routines Full rewrite of foreground service, application, and main activity objects New permission request routines Added multi-cast lock request before UPNP/LPDP discovery operations Fixed file permission and locking problems when loading .torrent from web browsers Fixed problems with Z-ordering of modal / non-modal and popup windows Fixed handling of back gesture on newer OS Added status bar icon adjustment based on status bar background color Added option in Settings > UI > Behavior to continue running in tray when task removed from recents App can be closed by swiping away notification

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
