Totally agree. The problem is not the top 5% complaining about easy content, it's more close to 50%+ people complaining about easy content now. And this is where it becomes a problem.

What makes it even worse is Blizzard stated they will never bring back difficulty like Sunwell. For them that's a road they left. I don't really understand their choice tbh. How hard is it to make 3 levels of difficulty, normal, medium and hard. They already do it with 5-mans (Although that's not true anymore seeing 90% of the heroics are a joke).

Making stuff more accessible to everyone does not mean making the game so easy you can just AoE pull complete rooms and walk out without a scratch.

I started playing again after 5 months to see how LK was going to be but I doubt there will be anything to do at 80 seeing how little new content there is in LK compared to the old continents.

11million subs until see something that shows 1-2million people complaining not just the fourm goers, I side with blizz on making things easier.

lmao Sethos, I was just about to say that.. I was thinking to myself "why in the hell is Andrew even spending TIME in Kara, much less the money/gems to socket that armor, when he walks out to the first quest giver in Northrend and replaces all his gear within 1 level.

Resocketed my gear hat I got in Kara tonight:

I think this'll do me. :)

Ummm I dont know why your doing kara. Anyways seeing as thats tanking gear heres some advice from a warrior tank:

Dont ever ever ever gem for Haste or Crit or Armor pen. Geming for AP is also bad, if you wanna gem for threat, use strength. The hit rating gem can be ok.

Oh and also, ignore socket bonuses 90% of the time. That +4 dodge rating wont save your life.

If your geming for tanking you'll want pure stamina gems. If you want avoidance get the 8 dodge rating or dodge/stam.

I'm ticked.

Went through Old Kingdom tonight with a rogue, a 70, who got,

Blade of Nadox

Binds when picked up(106.6 damage per second)

+21 Stamina

Durability 65 / 65

Requires Level 73Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 42 (1.53% @ L73).

And when we got to the prince he dropped

The ****** needed both, when we gave him the dagger and I told him I wanted the amulet, and proceeded to win it. :| :(

I'm a total newb when it comes to WoW so please don't laugh at me. :ermm:

Currently, I have a level 61 Orc Hunter spec'd for Beast Mastery. I was thinking of switching to Marksmanship to fend off so called "gankers". Right now, I can take on most people around my level. Heck I managed to kill a 65 Rogue one time. Anyway, I found a crossbow and I can't use it. It says I don't have the proficiency for it yet. Where can I get the training to use crossbows? Thanks!

BM until 80.

I'm a little sad that they didn't open up some TBC or classic-exclusive realms. I'm on Frostmane (EU) with my Pala, and I'm terribly annoyed of how little people run anything preWotLK on my realm. Not a single heroic or raid at lvl 70 ever gets done anymore.

And then, there's the WotLK stuff. Great, all looks good, but then quests start boring you. You go do some dungeon (only to notice every boss has a 3 item loot table !?) and you get the item you want. Great. Then you go to Dalaran, and you see like 1000 people with the same thing, sometimes maybe a different color. I don't know what they did, but if there's one thing I loved about WoW is that you could be sort of unique, with special gear and stuff. Things that aren't as common as most people have. Now that feeling is all gone, since everyone has the same gear...

That's a consequence of a number of things.

1. People complained that while levelling all the gear would make them look like rainbow coloured fruitcakes. In response, for WotLK, they decided to make a lot of the levelling gear fit well together so that your character wasn't as laughable as BC levelling.

2. A lot of the content is easier, raids, heroics, etc. This means that more players have easier access to the [previouslly] exclusive sets.

3. Perception. Towards the end of BC there were a huge number of entry points for raids. Some raids had Sunwell, some had BT, others had TK/SSC, mabye alts only had Kara gear. Right now, there is only a single tier of instances, with a single set model with a couple of different colours. As more tiers are added, and the content becomes harder (or they start rewarding loot for "hard mode" achievements - ie. Sarth + 3 drakes), the gear spread will increase.

Thanks for the help. I talked to a friend about it and he said the same thing. I'll re-spec to Marksmanship for PvP when I hit 80.

In an effort to eventually have an alt of every class I did recruit a friend with myself today and rolled a mage/shaman. Got them both to level 20 today. :)

Wait, how did you do that to yourself? I don't get it. :huh:

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • 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
