Well, all good things must come to an end. :]

I move in to my new home on the 25th and College starts on Sept. 2nd. The whole thing is a bit overwhelming, for I have always been a little bit of a momma's boy :p My subscription runs out on the 27th (of this month) and I won't be subscribing for any more time for quite a while. I feel that college + the experience of moving to a bigger city + political science major will be a much better focus for me, rather than, World of Warcraft + moving on to new bosses + Mastering all that is Beast.

I can honestly say that if you enjoy working for what you have, be it in real life, or in a game, this game makes great use of that quality. Sure I've spent 51 days plus with my only character only to not see the end of Black Temple.. or the begining of Sunwell Plateau.. I didn't get exalted with all of the factions or get all the other insignificant things I wanted, but I can leave saying that all the time spent was not a waste for this game unlike some others in the past, did not get boring for more than a day.

Good luck to all, I hope you all have as much and more fun than I've had. :D

Maybe someone has an answer for me here.

I was bored and wanted to upgrade my UI in WOW.

I was using Discord Unit Frames among other stuff, and one of the features allowed images for health/man bars (in my pic below, see the sets of bars to the left and right of the character in the middle of the screen).

Now I am using X-perl for my one I am working on, but it doesn't have the feature (that i can find). I would like to add these images back and have them work as frames, so like as health/energy/mana is lost, the the bar shrinks and changes color.

Is there any other standalone addons specifically for this that anyone is aware of and will work alongside other addons?

Thanks,

Heres my old interface

Cleaning out my bank I stumbled across three Tier 6 tokens I hadn't bothered to turn in (I was saving them to get Season 2/vindicator gear if I decided to start arena).

A couple of trips to the badge vendors, a run to PVP island, and then a quick trip to Hyjal: I now have reasonably passable DPS gear. The only thing severely lacking is a trinket slot, helm (just using healing gear for now) and of course the 4 piece bonus.

http://www.ctprofiles.net/view_profile.ct?pid=77798

I figure I need to run some pug Heroic MGT for a trinket out of there, and maybe a few ZA runs to a better head & trinket.

WTB: Hyjal PuGs on shadowmoon :(

I need an extremely good DPS build for a level 61 hunter.

Unless that build includes "get 9 more levels" there's not really much point.

A few hours of questing will do more for your damage output than any talent choices. Having said that: toss your points in BM until you end up with 'big red hunter' and let your pet do all the work.

For those asking for a list of my addons i used in my ui a few pages back here it is.

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd26/Ku...2008_205410.jpg

This is a list of most of the bigger addons i use:

Aloft - Better looking and customizable nameplates. (The text over peoples heads)

Atlas - Dungeon maps

AtlasLoot - Adds loot tables to boss information in Atlas

Auctioneer - Manages auctions for you and allows you to see the estimated price of an item when you mouseover over it on the AH and a suggested bid and buy outright values.

AuldLangSyne - allows you to add notes and other information to people on your friends and ignore list.

BaudBag - My bag replacement, merges all bags into one frame and keeps memory of your bank items so you can open your bank anywhere and see what you have in it.

Buffalo - Buff bar style and display customization.

Cartographer - Awesome map addon Smile

CastYeller - Annouces when you are casting certain spells and what the outcome of it was if it failed.

CCBreaker - Shows who broke what CC and what they used to do so. Mine is set to show in only my window but can be configured to show in party/raid chat as well.

Chatter - A replacement i found for the memory hungry prat. Allows a lot of customization over the chat frames.

ClearFont2 - Better looking in game fonts.

ControlFreak - Sheep control and management

CooldownTimers2 - Shows cooldown timer bars on spells and items

CowTip - Tooltip management

cyCircled - Button skins

Dailies - Daily quest tracker

Deadly Boss Mobs - Boss alerts, my personal favourite over bigwigs

Diplomat - Automatically sets the reputation watch progress bar when you zone. Can be configured by hand from zone to zone. So when i enter Shattrah it automatically sets my reputation progress bar to Lower City for example.

DrDamage - Provides additional spell information to spell tips, showing things like estimated damage and DPS and such.

eePanels2 - Create panels for you ui and give them textures and styles and such (Used for the bottom bar and the background around the minimap in my UI)

ErrorMonster - Silences some of the vocal errors and the red error text that shows up. Can be configured to allow certain errors past.

FinalFantasylization - My favourite addon at the moment, replaces all of the ingame music with Final Fantasy type music. Nothing like jumping on my mount to the tune of chocobo riding Big Grin

FuBar - And various fubar addons

LightHeaded - Extremely useful quest information including comments on quests directly from wow head all whilst in game.

MikScrollingBattleText - My choice of replacement for the default blizzard scrolling combat text and much prefer it over SCT due to the many more options and lower memory use.

MobHealth - shows estimated mob health on unitframes

MobInfo2 - Goes with the above and collects information on mobs, such as drop rates and xp value and the like.

Niagara - Allows some quick configuration of ACE2 mods.

Omen - Threat meter

OmniCC - Places cooldown timers on buttons.

Outfitter - Allows you setup custom outfits out of your gear. Extremely powerful with the ability to auto switch to certain sets if you enter a BG or Arena or mount up and many others. Similair to Item Rack

PitBull - Extremely powerful, though quite complex unit frames. This can handle everything from target windows to target of target, party, raid etc.

Postal - Adds a few options to the mailbox and mail functions (Like Open All).

Proximo - Very very useful Arena addons showing the other teams classes, HP, Mana/Rage/Energy and what spells they are casting if you have them selected and what spells are on cooldown.

Quartz - A much much better cast bar that provides a lag bar functionality and is extremely customizable.

QuestGuru - Improved quest tracker and quest window

QuietCast - Silences errors when casting such as target is too far away and whatnot.

ReagentRestocker - Automatically restock regeants based on a defined number when you open a regent vendor window.

SellJunk - Adds a sell junk button to vendor screens that when clicked will automatically sell all my grey items

simpleMinimap - Gives a lot more options to modifying and changing the minimap.

SW_Stats - DPS meter

Talented - Better looking talents window

Trinity2 - This is my favourite button bar mod that i have used so far. It's easy to use, slim and still quite flexible.

Vibrant - Helps with the simon says daily quest.

WIM - A mod to handles whispers/tells and has a GUI sort of like an IM client.

XLoot - Much better looking loot windows, loot notifications and loot rolling interfaces.

There is a few others i use but that is the bulk of them and a quick summary on what they do. Most of them are ACE2 mods.

I also highly recommend TourGuide (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/fileinfo.php?id=7674) makes levelling up alts much much quicker and more efficient :) I have actually managed to get my shadow priest to level 25 :) Which is a new record for me when playing an alt. She is the first i aiming to get to 70

LFG: must be able to not pull agro and get yourself killed, run out of fire, run away with bomb, not fall off a balcony.

Looking through screenshots this week, this is the only one I can find where some of our physical DPS didn't manage to get themselves raped.

I think it's time for a new UI: this one's getting stale and it feels really awkward to try and raid as a mage with it.

Does anyone know of an addon that will load profiles for all of your addons depending on whether or not you're grouped, solo, in a raid, spec'd for dps/healing/tanking, or whatever? Even if I had to /dosomething <dps> or /dosomething <healing> whenever I wanted to switch that'd be fine. If not, I'll just write my own but somebody must have already done this.

Does anyone know if there are any official figures for the number of accounts hacked daily ?

- From my personal experience, i would estimate several thousand per day.

The lack of ingame GM control, the lack of widespread Authenticator availability, plus the inherent security holes means it has become a hackers dreamworld.

I have seen players hacked in under 5 minutes.

They were playing away happily, they then got a disconnect from the server. When they tried to log back on their password had been changed.

- They changed their password and logged back on, only to find that someone had used their character to empty out their bank of money and items and mail it to a unspecified location (since there is no mail tracking inside WOW).

Blizzard claim:

a) This is not possible

b) That the system must have a keylogger installed

c) Customer accounts are their own responsibility

Erm... Blizzard, WOW is supposed to be a game for kids (and adults too).

They need to get their systems secure... and fast

- How about a free Authenticator with the new addon WOLK ?

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat. These two titles are up for grabs until next Thursday, but if they are not up to your taste, you can always check out the latest Weekend PC Game Deal issue, which is usually full of discounts and specials that let you save a lot of money on new games.
