Didn't watch video, but could you PM me and tell me what happened at the end of that episode? My tivo stop recording right when he hired her back. :(

I swear i'm cursed..

Every guild run or partial guild i've been in this week has bombed out due to retardiness or lag..

yet people who have PUG'd have successfully done it..

only thing i got left unsaved is kara this week..

should i pug or take a chance if the guild runs? hmm

I was in the same boat last week. 3 toons stuck and saved in a 10man or a 25man. BLIZZ needs to fix this @$%#$%^

I think the problem lies in who makes up your guild.

You see.. a lot of guilds are nothing more than a group of people who are all collectively stuck at the same place. When you attempt things with your guild there may be the anticipation of failure from any numbers of people that have proven unreliable in the past.. therefore the overall effort may suffer. In a pug you may know 5-10 players or heard of them at least. If a player in a pug fails they are replaced.

I wouldn't get discouraged about raiding in either situation.. raiding with a guild is more comfortable and usually more fun but downing a boss is downing a boss is downing a boss.

very insightful. you just described the guild i was in perfectly.

well ever since the patch we've been running unscheduled raids ..

our server's been lagging to death.. literally

people are just getting burnt out and tired of the BS mostly of blizzard

we have a good 15 - 20 core people who log in during the week and want to raid something

While the official ruling is that you can't get the title any more, if you are on certain stages of the quest chain it's still possible.

Example: If you'd completed the BT attunement chain, but hadn't completed the Hyjal attunement you can still get the title provided you had the quest in your log already. They way no-title-for-you was implemented was by adding duplicate quests with identical rewards/text/etc. that all the NPCs now give out. They won't give out the old ones, but there is some speculation that if you have somebody share them you can still sneak your way into a title.

All the same: grats.

So if your like myself , have the Q in your log and have Vashj`s vial but no Kael`s. If i go kill Kael as were planning on saturday, then I should be able to get my title?

I had the quest for months, and completed it last night. No Title for me

I didn't get it either when I turned in the vial quest. Once I get my Medallion of Kablar(sp?) it gave me the title. Finish that chain if you haven't already.

I had to talk to the guy in SSC when patch hit, after patch hit I talked to him, turned all that in, killed Rage, turned that in watch Maive kick ass and turned it in and got the title.

That makes sense.

The title was for completing the BT attunement chain which required Hyjal attunement.

Well he died tonight. I didn't bother attending any of the raids due to drama and bull****. Think with WOTLK coming time to find a new guild, and continue to run from drama. Or maybe just get some friends and see if they'll do an alt 10 man guild or something, as to continue to see content in the expansion but avoid bull**** drama.

I'm loving the Invasion event, but I swear I've never seen so much whining and crying in my life.

Must have missed the entire BC qq's about everything to get nerfed to a welfare state. :(

I think the invasion event sucks so much ass it couldn't possibly suck more ass even if it tried.

It does. So annoying, can't even turn in quests (i need that do a daily 5 days in a row and the nagrand guy is so easy and quick to do), can't land or take portals anywhere because of insta-infected-ness. This is by far the most annoying and worst event I've seen by Blizz.

The event is ok..

its something different..

I kinda find it annoying but its more of an inconvenience

I don't mind the durability damage or anything I can afford that, I have some fun with though and turn into a zombie in Stormwind and explode.. i use all the cooldowns first too :p

You guys who hate the zombie event obviously need to take a break from WoW because most people are loving it as the queue times on the server can show. It's just a game so try to have a little fun because this is what us casuals have always wanted from the game. You hardcore grinders are going to ruin it for everyone else so that Blizzard never does anything like this again.

Not being to turn in a quest for easy gold is fun? Not being able to take a FP out of the city is fun? Not being able to take a portal from Shatt to IF, because zombies wait on the other side is fun? Not being able to use the AH is fun? Man you have a twisted since of fun, unless of course your only goal is to annoy others at which point you are ruining the game more than those "hardcore" people you so quickly accuse.

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
