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.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Module Blocked - Is this Okay?

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
