You do know Armory is an official part of World of Warcraft?

Here's the EU site; http://armory.wow-europe.com/index.xml

You don't even have to log in, you can just search for your character and link it from there.

Sorry, just being cautious. :)

Anyway, here's the link: http://armory.wow-europe.com/character-she...&n=Ethernet

whats the benefits of installing burning crusade in the early stages of the game? i'm only lvl 15 at the moment. i was in town over the weekend so i thought i'd buy it for future use...

i believe the real benefit is the advance from level 60 to 70... but since i'm way off, and will be for along time, should i wait?

Install it. Well, don't if you don't have free space. But there is no other reason why you shouldn't install it.

You claim you haven't played in over a year, yet you logged in 2 months ago.

The gear looks junky though, you do have some nice reputation in desirable factions though.

If it were me, and the Warrior was on a seperate account i'd sell it for $70-90, so 51-66 Euro?

The reputation drake is nice, but you're barely out of blues.

Now, off topic:

The way you are going about this, leads me to believe you bought that account if you do not know about WoWArmory, yet it shows you have been active in the last 2 months and you are 70.

And the terminology you used to describe the account, "(Has elite flying mount including dragon)" sounds like e-bay.

You would think after grinding that reputation mindlessly for a month or two you'd notice that it is called "Netherwing Drake"/"Netherwing" reputation, it is no easy thing to overcome in that gear to grind out completely exalted with Netherwing.

You'd be surprised at how oblivious people can be as well as how lucky. I've seen a guy running around with a piece of t6, and almost all greens. He told me he didn't know where he got the piece and said he had friends in a "higher guild that kills guys."

hahahaha

my guild kills guys too!

hahahaha

my guild kills guys too!

It was like a slap in the face, really.

Some poor chum running around aimlessly gets dragged into a relatively easy fight, like Azgalor, rolls on the gloves and for whatever reason wins. It makes me mad almost that good things happen to undeserving people, haha. I've downed Azgalor a bunch of times, yet I'm still in my t5 gloves. I'd bet the guy never even had t5, or t4 gloves for that matter!

Ah well, to each his own.

When we start seeing this, is when we know an expansion is coming soon. (WotLK Nov.13, as you know.)

I would see the same thing Pre-BC about a month or two before it is actually released.

People running around with T2 chest off Nef, and the rest completely greens, same story "Yeah my friend's guild needed help, so I got some loot that i'm not even sure what it does." Not in they're own words of course.

But I mean come on... Specifically flying over to the remote Netherwing isle in the corner of SMV to do dailies without even knowing what you are grinding / grinding for? It just sounds too... Unreal.

Crappy screenshot of the twins after we killed Felmyst the first time(which I was not present for the kill and prolly never will be).

I see you haven't downed the ledge boss ;)

Twins will stay a fairly hard encounter in 3.0: 90% of their damage is magic based, and for the most part it's either "fix it now or you die".

30% less health means much fewwer conflags and healing will be easier, but reverse strategy should at least have the same feeling. It's such a boring encounter when you use the reverse strategy, hopefully you'll be able to get past it quickly and see see M'uru while he's still fun.

I've downed Azgalor a bunch of times, yet I'm still in my t5 gloves. I'd bet the guy never even had t5, or t4 gloves for that matter!

For my chest slot, I went form level 58 blues, to AQ40 spell damage gear. After giving up on getting any healing gear I level tailoring.

I wore that level 58 epic until I had cleared Karazhan and Killed Magtheridon. I leveled tailoring to cap so I wasn't completely out-of-date.

We were farming Illidan before I got Tier 4 (and I picked up Tier 6 the day I gemmed Tier 4).

I lucked out and got the Sunwell pattern a few weeks ago so I guess I'm pretty much set until Tier 9.

If it weren't for crafting, I'd have worn a level 58 PVP reward until we killed Satura, and then I'd have worn

that for for weeks of Illidan farming. Another priest in my guild wore his Tier 2 robes just as long, meanwhile

mages had 2 or more full sets of Tier 4, 5 and 6.

The ledge boss owned us twice. Somebody falling off the ledge accidentially and pulling twins, not fun. We're doing the reverse strat where you kill sacrolash first I think(because it's the easiest) and from watching a video it doesnt seen that hard. Then again watching a video and actually doing the encounter are 2 different things.

AKA, Random is random. :p

Using the reverse strategy turns it into Barron Gheddon round 2. Assuming your healers aren't AFK and you have an appropriate number then you move all of the difficult work on to your tanks who are probably used to carrying the raid by this point.

The only skill required is "run away when you're going to kill everyone" and "don't fail at the ledge boss".

I'm not really sure if the reverse strategy is intended or not. The nonsense required to position correctly is pretty dumb, it makes the fight ridiculously easy for its place in progression, and it depends on a 'pathing exploit' to work. On the other hand: Firemaw (? the first drake in BWL) was one big LOS game and I don't think there was any other strategy used to kill him.

Instructor had a bit of an line-of-sight/range component but it was more of a "run away every 30 seconds" thing, rather than cheesing the whole fight with it.

I'm also reasonably convinced that the "run around in a field not standing in a fire" strategy wasn't the expected way to do Archimonde but I've never been able to get my hands on a cleared instance to try it.

Yes, it's my account. I stopped playing it just over a year ago when I hit lvl 70 and done all the sinlge quests I could find, I just simply didn't have time for the group quests that last hours. I then let my eldest kid take over and have some fun (aswell as spunk all the gold I earnt along the way!).

how do i send 1 of them global messages or whatever they are?

they appear in red...

i got one the other day, someone asking if anyone wanted to help with a quest, i replied, and he invited me to group... but we were miles away, met up, and completed the quest..

how can i send those messages?

/1 Bla Bla

Says Bla Bla in General (Entire zone).

/y Bla Bla

Yells Bla Bla, visible to everyone within an increased range when compared to /s

/w <username> Bla Bla

A private message to <username>; knows no boundaries except horde/alliance/realms.

/bg bla bla

Says bla bla to your entire battleground group.

/r woohoo

Replies to the last person who sent you a private message (Note : just pressing R is enough to open the reply box too :))

/p bla bla

Says bla bla to your party

That should pretty much clear all your doubts regarding tells.

I tried Kalecgos my first time today. Cant believe how easy it was from a tanking stand point. I got the whole portal rotation thing on my first attempt. The Demon did roflstomp me tho on the last attempt.

Heres a screenshot of damage taken from the demon using recount:

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
