So once again gave up on raiding, as the guild I joined was a bunch of bull, but damn they pulled a fast one on me. So a lonely tank, once again. Just going to do dailies, and continue to level alts. Maybe pug a few times and find some new people, but guilds are slim picking (good guilds that is) on my server.

Need Opinions, quick job

everything in the master image is layers, so i can change whatever

done with WoWModelViewer, WoWMapViewer, GIMP

Nice but the wings look too 2-D compared to the rest. Also if you the "center" of the image is supposed to be the staff I'd point it out a little more, like for example making it brighter or glow.

The game is supposed to be 6 (or 16) gb already. Kinda stupid when they are releasing 3-4 gb patches. How big is this game going to be? 20GB?

So even if it's 100GB who gives a toss, really?

Hard drive space nowadays is virtually takeaway prices - I'm pushing 2.5TB+ in my home machine nowadays and it's likely that many people who play MMOs, such as WoW or AoC don't really play that many other games (Which is evident in the sales of many games on PC)

There was a similar argument at my workplace where we discusses CPU processing. In the end though what if every company out there does the same thing. "Who cares, it's only 100GB. Who cares it's only 500GB. Who cares if we make the requirements higher?" Everything adds up. Companies should make their program as efficient as they can and maintain low system requirements. They should also use effective compression algos. Not everyone has a 2.5TB+ hard drive. I only have 250GB and I don't want 1 game to take up 50% of my hard drive space. You have to consider the general public, which is why WoW is so successful. They didn't target the "elite" gamers running on 4GB RAM or 2.5TB+ HDD. They targeted the game for the general public where a Pentium 3 can play the game with just 512 RAM.

Newsflash: Age of Conan is going to require insane amount of CPU and vidcard power to provide what you could call a "next gen" MMO - if you cannot afford a harddrive, you sure as heck aren't going to afford a machine that runs the game on any sensible settings so your point is moot.

Look, you're using Windows so that means you can't really start talking about "efficient coding" in any sense of the word.

Sorry, I forgot you worked at Microsoft.

Just because Windows isn't "efficiently coded" doesn't mean other applications aren't and shouldn't.

Guess you can enjoy playing Age of Conan with 5 other people. We all saw what happened with Vanguard.

I just set up a subscription using Paypal, and on my account page it says:

Account Status: Active

Next Bill Date: December 13, 2007 <---- WTF

When I try to play, it tells me I've used up all my game time.

Edit: Nevermind, the page just updated and the date is correct now. It let me log in too, whew. That scared me. :laugh:

Lets keep things Wow related amd enuff of the offtopic arguments and ruddy conan promotions

Agreed.

Been moving all week, and I'm like 1k gold away from epic mount. Which is 3 days worth of dailies and light mining. Could probally do it in 2 or 3 if I got lucky with nodes/blue gems. But damn been thinking about it all week, just so exhausted from moving all day, just don't want to get on.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
