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.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
