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.

    • 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.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

      The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
