Well im playing wow for the last 6-7 months (I'm having a break now until Wotlk expansion) and my current characters/gear are:

Neptulon EU : Hyphen - Dwarf Warrior 70 (2 x t6 and rest gear equal to t6)

Xyphen - Dwarf Rogue 70 (3/5 s4 and rest s2/s3)

As i said i 'took' a break from the game since it started affecting my personal life as my studies in univercity. I will start playing it again a week before Wotlk expansion but as not much as i used to.

There is no quest to get a Deathknight. Level to 55 and you can just choose to make one at the character creation screen.

The Argent Dawn quests are part of the scourge invasion.

Oh right thats awesome that there is no quest chain for the DeathKnight but also rather bad, now all were going to see is every nub under the sun running around with a DeathKnight :( ...

Also what is this "Scourge Invasion"? Anything interesting that comes from this, sorry im a little slow with the story line at the moment as to what is really going on with everything :s

You realize this is the week before Lick King drops right? This week (tuesday/wednesday maintenacnce) is the last raiding days of BC (unless you do it tuesday/wednesday night after reset before xpac drops).

In recent news:

I QUIT WoW.

It feels good doesnt it? After playing for 3 years religously, I look back and see what it did to me and OMG. I would have rather raided than go out to a party or out with friends. It was bad. I quit about 2 months ago and i feel as if a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Some say its just a game, but you can lose yourself easilly in Azeroth.

If i can do it, you can do it too! :cool:

PS. THAT GAME IS THE DEVILS CHILD

Feral druid is pretty simple to play but here are some of my macros that may help ya out:

In all of these macros set the icon to the '?' icon

Mount Macro: (Stuff in bold will need to be changed to fit your char)

- This macro will load your mount if you are in an area where you can't fly and are out of combat. If you are out of combat and can fly this will cast flight form. If you are in combat that it will cast Travel form. If you are in combat and swimming it will cast aquatic form.

Feral Charge Macro:

- This Macro will switch you into bear form if you are in caster form and then on the next press cast feral charge - bear. If you are already in cat form then it would cast Feral Charge - Cat.

Mark of the Wild Mouseover Macro

- This macro will allow you to hover over player frames or player models and press your mark of the wild button and it will cast on them. Note: This is also very useful for heals, just change the name of the spell to the name of any one of your heals.

Thanks for all of the helpful macros. I'll be trying some of these out tonight!

So I finally decided I want roll a Death Knight once WOTLK hits and it will definitely be a Human.

I even started gathering a few items so I can hand in the EPL quests, I'd rather not go to HFP until 60. Now I am just having some difficulties selecting a build for leveling, haven't even found some decent templates yet.

Blood looks very tempting due to the self-healing, would really help towards minimal downtime but everyone is talking about Unholy which I don't really understand? So future Death Knight players, what are your talent build plans?

Unholy is OP by beta reports and will probally be nerfed within the first few months of mass play in LK for the DK class.

I've leveled to around 65 twice: once as unholy (when it was busted) and once as blood.

Unholy made you an AOE grinding machine, you simply chewed through dozens of mobs at a ridiculous pace. You had to bandage and eat regularly but if you could find -1/2 mobs it was pretty funny watching them drop. by soloing undead strat was amazing.

Second trip through I went as blood: single target damage was nuts and as long as you were careful to death grip and pestilence you could chain pull until your fingers go numb or your gear breaks. You can reasonably handle 2-3 mobs full time. I found casters more dangerous than melee (unholy seemed to fair equally well between both). I found I was able to deal with hard-hitting mobs much better.

That said, I haven't tried a death knight in months so things could be substantially different.

An interesting aspect of the Xpac and DK I hadnt considered will be the interchange bt alliance and horde given that DK is for both factions...I have always been curious about the alliance but due to guilds or hassle has never rolled a toon on that side...but starting at 55 makes things a bit easier...

This is why the RNG is bad:

-My guild GM has the offhand warglaive. He's killed Illidan 43 times and has yet to see the MH. Another guild on my server killed illidan 6 times and already have 2 sets.

-I had to kill Teron Gorefiend over 1 dozen times for the tanking gun to drop.

-I have yet to see a helm or shield drop from Illidan and at this point I wonder if they removed them from the loot table.

-Getting 3 conq, vang or prot tokens is bad, 1 of each should drop.

-In Sunwell the guild went 5 weeks without a single Protector token drop from the bosses.

1. That sucks. :(

2. Have two rogues with it, including all the warriors (dps included).

3. First kill, shield drop, second kill helm drop both went to the pally tank who tanks only trash and nothing else (go figure).

4. The past month all T6 kills have had at least 2 Rogue/Mage/Druid, with the pally tank dropping most. In the past month have had 6 warrior/hunter/shaman tokens drop, 3 last night on Brut. I was able to snag one leg, and two hunters got most of the rest.

5. We just started sunwell Sunday so uhh no comment.

Gotta hate RNG though it makes sense to use. But I do think one of each token should drop for all Tier bosses.

Last 2 minutes of the last raid of TBC

New UI is a work in progress: addons still haven't been patched up since 3.0.

I don't think we'll raid on the 11th (National Holiday in Canada), the 12th is sort

of a lost cause, and we'll all be waiting in line for TBC on the 13th. For a while

this game was a lot of fun, here's hoping expansion gets us back in the groove

very soon.

Woohoo! I just quit WoW! :D

(Y) same.. After playing wow non stop since the original Alpha tests, it was really hard to do. But I am so thankful I did.. I honestly thought I would go crazy without it, and I do find myself bored without it at times, but I don't want to go back, especially considering I made a ton off selling all my toons :)

Good to hear, good to hear.

I'm not willing to sell my characters simply because as corny as it is the friendships and memories made on the game over the past year and a half are worth more than I'd ever be offered. I'll keep em inactive for a bit and possibly reactivate them sometime in the distant future.

I was thinking of that too Pete, but you know. With them making leveling from 1-60 so easy now, and with each expansion everything is different and none of the old stuff will really matter. I decided if I want to ever go back, I will just reroll. I mean I have leveled 10 70's it's not that big of a deal. The hardest part for me was leaving the friendships... I mean I was the guild leader of the top horde guild on our server.... And my name has been around since original days.. Everyone knows me, and that's whats hard to leave.

Nice man. Tonight is a Hyjal main/alt run. Friday is a full clear of BT, with Saturday-Monday being SWP. I know we will get Kal/Brut down Saturday. I think Felmyst will take us Saturday/Sunday, I know we will have no trouble dps'in down M'uru in either phase nor have problems controlling adds in P1. So only hard fight I see left for us is Eredar twins. I doubt we will get past twins though, rest of the guild is staying optimistic.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
