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:

    • 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.
