the evn show

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.

Good luck in the place. If you can get to twins you can do kil'jaeden: he shouldn't take more than a day to learn.

There's certainly enough time left before wrath to kill him (yea the zone is really that easy) so I hope you get the achievement.

Nice UI +the evn show

Thanks.

I am still going to keep up with this thread and fuss at you evn

<3

My guild disbanded and a handful of the raiders merged up with "good" players from the other 'good' guilds.

A bunch of re-rolls from the best guild on our server (alliance side, died on pre-nerf m'uru) and some people from a few of

the top-50 guilds on Wowjutsu. It's certainly a great group of people and I'm hopeful we'll be able to progress without dedicating our lives to it. A lot of people who didn't get invited are understandably ****ed off: it'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out over the next couple months.

One more week to go...

I had vacation scheduled to start on the 17th. I've got a week to level (and be lazy around my house) and then I'm spending 10-days at a resort in mexico: great way to recover from the 70-80 grind IMO.

Took a year, but I finally won a drawing.

20081111-kwa5xt8ntgkyp64pwdp6pcn1fb.jpg

Originally I wanted 5/5 Avatar with Belt/Boots of the Long Road and Staff of Immaculate Recovery

but never managed to win a chest from Kael.

Ended up going with 6/8 Absolution & Belt of Divine Guidance/Boots of Divine Light because the other

two set pieces don't match (they're intended to go with the Sunwell off-set stuff). I dug out Anathema

because it remains the coolest staff in the game. I'm not a fan of the Sunwell art style and I didn't

manage to win shoulders from Twins either.

I'll post pictures when it finally shows up.

If you want to install WotLK early and not have to wait until you have the DVD

Simply follow this link: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/account/dow.../InstallWoW.exe

Run InstallWoW.exe.

Select the last option for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Litch King.

Voila. You are now downloading and installing the expansion so you will be the first one in on the 13th.

*Note: I have done this and you can still log-in and play even if you still have Burning Crusade active on your account. File download size is 1.9GB. This will also reset your WoW back to 3.01, so you will need to re-patch back up to 3.03.

How could anyone even find that? I can't even access any wow page atm.

Have you done this? And if so, does it cache the installer files somewhere where I can back them up to use later, or does it just directly install? Because I'd LOVELOVELOVE to have the entire thing tucked away in a folder on an external drive instead of shuffling disks or having a bunch of separate installers for each release.

To answer - yes, I have done it this morning. :)

Also, it saves the ENTIRE installation DVD to your desktop. But ... it does install at the same time, so it will install into your WoW folder while also downloading the expansion to your desktop.

Good luck getting into the server when people start getting their copies of wotlk! gonna be hell on the 1st few days. im gonna wait for a bit until everything dies down a bit.

Oh come, it's not going to be that bad. Me and my friend started a BE on day one of TBC release and on Illidan which is one of the most crowded PVP servers. We never really had a problem getting in or leveling.

Does anyone know for sure if WotLK activation will turn on at 12:01AM EST or before? Keep seeing people saying this but never solid proof.

There was a Blue post on the official forums saying it was going to be up at 9:00pm EST or 6:00pm PDT. Can't link it right now due to their forums being offline.

The installer linked above is on a certain torrent site full of pirates. :p 7.8GB. Tons of seeders and leechers. Leaving mine on all night, install tommorow, so I just gotta put in key and ready to go. :)

Are you sure that's legit? The installer I linked is 1MB and is just a launcher to Blizzards servers to download WoW, BC, and WotLK. :|

Ya it's what you linked installs. Here's a filefront link to it, can't connect to internet, so figure something up with Blizzard's servers. They suppose to be up at 10 or so, so I'll try again later tonigh.

Can upgrade your account assuming you got your copy early with the key. Now if I can only go ahead and get LK installed, and when I come home from Gamestop just enter in my code and I'll be g2g.

Appears realms are slowly coming up.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.
