not debating that the person doesnt exists on a live server, and he probally does play on live. just either he wasnt on live when that was taken, or he was playing on a private earlier and the item ID that is showing, is not the liveID, but the PrivateID. aka he doesnt have a seperate WoW install for the private server, he just does the Serverlist hack to connect to the private

tradgedy is telling the truth well at least its not private server

go look up the names

Dergan

stormyknight

Cubbs

Kendora

Dergan has the exact same weapon on them (axe of frozen death) only know cause I use that same weapon

the Dergan is also level 70

its photoshoped though its a level 60 reqiurment... that and I have seen that exact weapon in other photoshoped pictures

it was actually a thread for photoshoping

but the character is actually on a live server and so was everyone else who was whisperd

Heh. This is turning out to be pretty amusing. I don't or never have played on a private server. Please note, I'm not saying someone hasn't used my computer to do so. My brother and a few others have used my computer to play a game or two. I know you'll say I'm just denying it. But whatever, it doesn't really matter if you believe me one way or another.

I mean, seriously, if I was making it up, wouldn't I be like "wow, this quest giver gave me this legendary sword and I totally pwnd all kinds of stuff with it." On a PvE server too, where it's even more useless..I'm not 12, I know that bragging on the internet doesn't win me anything.

Instead I said something strange happened to me while I was trying to do some quests and that a GM said it doesn't exist. Yeah man, that's totally cool, I'm going to run off to tell everybody I got something that is completely useless. I don't know -how- or -why- it happened, just that it did. Believe me or not, it doesn't really matter. I'm just kinda shocked at the reactions I'm getting. I thought this was some sort of screw up on Blizzards end, a bugged quest or something, sheesh.

Another thing, I talked to that GM around 8pm last night. I received the email at 7:27am. Good thing I wasn't waiting up for the email or anything. :/

I personally think that it's a bit strange that it's showing in your inventory and you've spoke to a GM, but it doesn't say that you received the item until after you'd spoken to the GM about it...

Because I was abandoning the quest and getting it again, hoping for some random reason to get the right quest item. You guys are too funny. Conspiracy abound with trag3dy and his completely useless legendary item that may or may not be real and may or may not be Photoshopped.

I guess it doesn't show in the screen shot but in between where I linked the item to the GM and received the item I abandoned the quest.

what bag mod is that anyway

sigh, just because the item is not on retail dosn't mean hes not playing retail. To me it looks like he has played on a private server and forgot to clear his cache.... this is what can happen.

I run a private server myself actually, and this happens when a server has an item that uses the same ID as a real item, thus when the player changes to retail, all the data received from the server will be old, from a private one.

That's what I think happened here, so let it go and let's move on.

Very nice, but ever thought of scaling everything a bit? With everything that big, feels like your screen would be extremly small. Maybe it's just me, but it looks nice, just way to big.

My screen is really small... It's 1280x1024. I like things slightly bigger I suppose. Don't have to strain my eyes or anything. Granted, everything would look better if it was in a higher, widescreen resolution like 1920x1080.

hey trag3dy, what big bag mod is it that your using there?

Combuctor. I think that's what you're after? It's a pretty great bag mod. The most useful I've found I think. Tabs on the side are for sorting items and it has a built in search to narrow a cluttered inventory down even more.

^^ I sound like a used car salesman.

I'm having an excellent time in Northrend. Just finished off Howling Fjord and it was a lot of fun. I still have to run Utgarde Keep... I usually play at night and there never seems to be enough people on, so I'll try during the day tomorrow.

I'm glad I signed back up, that's for sure :D

I can't wait to start questing in Northrend. I just started questing in Nagrand and it's better than Zangarmarsh, that's for sure. Anyway, what are some good UI mods for WoW? I've been using the default UI ever since I started playing.

Depends on what you want to do mostly. Do you want to completely overhaul the UI? Or just change the unit frames?

X-Perl Unit Frames are a very good default frame replacement if you don't want to tinker with it to get things the way you like it.

Pitbull unit frames if you like customizing a lot.

I like Bartender 4 to replace the bars. And ButtonFacade to make them look nice and purdy.

I could tell you dozens of other addons that I like but I think those are a good start for now.

Edit: Oh yeah, two really essential addons imo are QuestHelper and Lightheaded. Questhelper will help you easily locate quest objectives, while any that aren't very clear, you can look up in lightheaded wich gives you access to wowhead.com in game. Reduce your alt-tabbing by 90%.

Wow! Thanks a lot trag3dy. I'll give those a try with the exception of QuestHelper (I already have it). I'm looking forward to using LightHeaded as I always alt-tab out of WoW to search Wowhead. Anyway, there was a mod that I noticed in a couple of screenshots posted in this thread. It's a skin that makes it easier to read chat text. I can't find it at all nor can I remember the name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents.

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
