Seeing how it hasn't been asked what are the 3 blue bottoms bottom left?

They swap gear for now, I'll replace them with add-ons to to swap around my UI depending on what I'm doing once I have the time to write one.

From top to bottom:

  • Naked: because I hate being inspected when I'm in town.
  • Farming: Random DPS gear.
  • Healing: My typical raid healing set.

I still have to manually /cg wear [sr|reg|stam] for fights where those are appropriate but there is an addon for either closetgnome or bigwigs that will automatically swap gear depending on which boss you're fighting.

That's closetgnome? I been looking for a gear changer, that isn't dependent on fubar/titan panel. Add some buttons to my UI.

And the best KJ was 10% by an unknown person from an unknown guild. But the best confirmed attempt is by Deus Vox is 34%. Wonder who's going to get him?

Game over. All bosses dead.

Had ZA tonight, took a prot pally, downed Jan'Alai, and got a few attempts in at Hex Lord. Had no mage, so had to kill 2 adds. 2 attempts best one at 42%. Probally down him next week, 4th time for guild, and take some shot at Jin.

Hex is the step up in difficulty for ZA bosses, tho if you have decent healers and a varied Raid setup then you should see him go down. Jins in some ways easier tho has 1 or 2 kinda ruff phases. The phase where he turns into the hawk again and does the whirlwinds will probs be where you wipe a few times as people learn to move

I found Hex to be rather easy, though I have to agree Jin is a right pain in the arse. He's quite easy until you get to Lynx when he proceeds to maul your raid. Then it's a struggle through the Dragonhawk phase till he's dead.

I'd have to agree, I didn't see anything major hard with Hex Lord. Burn the add(s) that you need to kill. Keep the rest CC, and burn boss as fast as you can. From a tank's point of view didnt' seem hard, tank Lord or tank an add or two. From the two attempts this defiently seems like a healer fight.

My guild had killed Lord 3 times with a full tier 5 group and Jin twice with same group. Had some drama awhile back and they all left. We haven't even got back into 25 mans, yet slowly rebuilding. But for alot of us more active raiders, Kara gives us nothing but badges, and duplicate items we can gem/enchant different way (using tank stuff for Hydross set). So I think being able to get Lord down to 42% second try with a Kara/ZA group is awesome. I defiently think if we can down Jan'alai next week (probally not going to have a pally tank), then I can defiently see Lord going down. And hopefully get some solid attempts in on Jin.

Leotheras the Blind is down (first time).

Unfortunately I got disconnected while I had a demon on me. When I came back I was already dead ... bummer.

It's better to be disconnected and lose the demon fight than alive. Being DC'd leaves you standing there helpless even if you get possessed. You die when the boss does.

Way back in the day our strategy used to include "ALT+F4 if you fail at demons". Back when he had the extra HP (5 million?) we simply didn't have enough DPS to kill mind-controlled people and still make the enrage (of course, losing someone to demons often meant we didn't have enough anyway -- but at least we could try to zerg him down through enrage). I recall having to wear a partial spell damage set to kill my demons and to help get Leo down during demon phase: It's one of the few fights where healers actually attacked the boss and it was nice to be doing so much at once.

Grats though. He was one of the best fights in SSC/TK.

Are you playing on vista? I had issues with patching if I didn't use the "run as administrator" option.

The blizzard support forums are a better place to get help with problems like this.

Hex is the step up in difficulty for ZA bosses...

Agreed, although apparently he's been nerfed. In his original version he would soul-drain from the start of the encounter - now he doesn't start until 80%.

Soul drain acts as a soft-enrage sort of like Gruul's grows or Gorefiend's doom blossums/ghosts. In the original version it was pretty common to leave as many adds CC'd as possible while you killed the boss in order to stay ahead of the enrage. Now you can kill them all and have no real worries about not having enough health to survive the random AOE or Spirit Bolts.

The biggest cause of wipes was a CC breaking during spirit bolts: you can now remove that from the encounter entirely.

From a healer's perspective it was mostly "Did I roll an AOE healing class?" If you did, win. If not, hope the other healer did. Cheesing it with Black Temple shadow-resist gear is another way to win, but when that's an option you've probably stopped doing hexlord anyway.

thankyou for you help yesterday, i tryed that but the problem still happened

ive trying runing the laucher in "run as administrator" by goin to

right click on the shortcut on the desktop> blizzard downloader in run as administrator and other applications

im currently downloading a patch from the "World of Warcraft Classic Client Download"

that some suggested to do

so il see if that work but do you know anything else i can do ?

In what order did you install? Did you physically insert the discs? or download off the internet? Did you also purchase the burning Crusade?

I know in the past there was a certain order you had to apply the patches

I recently installed the game myself and installed in order.. of:

World of Warcraft 2.0 Pre-BC client

World of Warcraft : The burning crusade

patch 2.3 (~ 700 megs)

patch 2.4 (~ 200 megs)

After that it worked..

I am not sure about install disc's I downloaded my off the website, a bit slow but it got the job done

Hope this helps

My only wish was they would make it 'harder' to obtain, like raising the requirement - At least a level 70 Character should be required, perhaps even 2.

No thanks. I'd rather blizz don't subscribe to the Ninty book of how to unlock content.

When I've just bought an expansion I'd like to use at least some of the features right away!

Getting a little frustrated, guild are doing well in ZA, Gruul, Maggy but don't seem inclined to give TK or SSC much of a go :( There seems to be a core of 10 or so players that are keen (that's why we've done well in ZA), but getting the numbers for harder 25mans is hard.

If you can survive till Wotlk then that 10man core will be ideal for all the 10man tier raids.

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
