Addons: Classtimer very useful as a mage.

Regarding your toon, drop imp water elemental. It's fairly useless when soloing. Max out brain freeze and it'll save you mana as well as help you kill things faster. Some of your gear is f-ing awful if I'm being honest. Are you completing EVERY quest in the zone? Some items are amazing if you take the time to do the entire quest chain (The trinket from Hellfire Pen if I remember is given from doing the 1st quest chain all the way to the end, takes a while but it's worth it).

i think that questhelper is really cool and all however i think that if you are playing on your main character that you should not use it so that you are getting the real essence of the game if you are playing and alt and have already done these quests and simply cannot remember then i can see it being alright to use it. cause you have already done the quest to get the experience of figuring it out.

if you are using quest helper you are not questing you are simply walking from point A to point B

well you still have to do the actual quests.. You have to read the quest and kill x amount of mobs, all it does is show you exactly where to go to actually do the quest, and where the npc is to turn the quest back in.

As I have tried wow about a year ago, I founf running around looking to find mobs/whatever for a quest very tedious and left the game. Now that I'm back I use questhelper, I found this very useful. It doesn't do everything but takes you to the right area. I was going to try the leveling guide, but decided to just use questhealper and do evey worthwhile quest around. It has helped me enjoy the game.

You could use tomtom and lighthead and get the cords, but questhelper is far superior.

quit last night, the game is becoming less fun to play more and more, I liked it in TBC but i think Wrath has been a bodged up job, Sent my friend loads of stuff (2K gold, a belt from nax which he sold for 2K, 10 Arctic furs, lots of dream shards, basically tonnes of stuff that amounts to around 8k) He was buzzin.

Maybe one day i may come back to have a dabble when or if they make it fun to play again.

I found an addon last night that I absolutely want to hug the creator for making.

I got SICK and FREAKING tired of hearing "YOUR GUNNA RIP HER HEAD OFF" "I WONDER IF SHE CAN SWIM" .. etc etc etc.. in Stormwind.

All CORKIT!, does is mute unimportant NPC chatter.

Stormwind is now pin-drop quiet.

I think the exact opposite. I hated TBC...the clown colors of the armor, the spaceships, spacegoats, and effeminate elves. The whole thing reaked of something thrown together to appeal to Naruto-loving 12 year olds. I wish Blizz would have leap-frogged TBC and gone straight to Northrend with their first expansion. TBC is just waaay too Sci-fi for me.

Besides, people act like this game was ever difficult. :rolleyes:

^The PvP aspect is. Anyway I loved TBC! I loved the rogue T6 for some odd reason :wub:.

PVP in WoW is a joke. There are much better alternatives out there if someone is into PVP.

Don't get me wrong, I love WoW like no other game out there, but I think Blizzard stumbled when they went on this e-sport tangent. Lich King maybe be even easier content-wise, but it's a damn good expansion, from an overall perspective. PVE is my main interest, I never got into the whole ring-around-the-pillar PVP in a box thing. Wintergrasp is rather fun though.

I love TBC so far. It's clear that the higher level you are, the better the environments and mobs look. It's just so vast and beautiful and the mobs are so creative. The ambient sounds are chilling too. I can hear these weird things clicking and chirping way off and it echoes throug the 40 foot tall muchrooms fields, it is awesome.

Get rid of my Water Elemental? I honestly can't picture solo'ing without it. I can't name how many times it has saved my life when attacked by 5 mobs. Summon it, blast em, takes the aggro. Or when I need to beat a tough boss for a quest, he does about 500 damage a hit while I'm doing about 1000.

Eww, I really thought Wintergrasp was utter crap. Arena is where its all at! You have to give that a go :p.

Really considering starting playing again but seeing as how I sold my account last time I stopped, I'd have to start from square one. I just can't be arsed with the 1-60 leveling, they've added SO many things to make it easier from 1-60, can't they allow us to create a level 60 character from the get-go :p A man can dream, can't he?

Is there any other way of downloading WoW without it's installer?

Its taking ages downloading 6GB but don't want to cancel it since I have already downloaded over 2GB.

If you cancel, it will only cancel the install portion. It will keep whatever you've downloaded and resume where you left off when you start the installer again.

I was just reading 3.1 info on WoWWiki. Dual class specs sounds awesome. I'd love to try out unholy on my DK, but I just don't feel like having to go back and respec every time. Or if I want to have a tanking build that I could use if I'm in a group that needs a tank (since DPSers are far more abundant). I'm really excited about it just for that. Too bad there's no release timeline yet.

    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      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.

    • We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager, 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; I figured it could offer some neck pain relief. What's in the box: SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager Rechargeable Battery (inside massager) Type-C USB cable User Manual Quick Start guide 1-Year Warranty In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official listing, here are the key features: Biomimetic Kneading & High Torque Motor: Designed with innovative biomimetic kneading heads that perfectly simulate the touch of human hands. Powered by a high-torque motor, this massager delivers powerful and precise deep tissue relief to effectively target stiff neck muscles and release built-up tension Soothing Heat & Integrated Sound Relaxation: Experience the ultimate Relaxationation with our dual-action approach. The soothing heat function gently warms your neck, while the built-in sound Relaxation provides calming audio tracks, helping you achieve a state of mindfulness and mental tranquility during your physical massage Cordless Convenience & Travel-Ready & Father's Day Gifts: Crafted for maximum portability and ease of use. Its lightweight, cordless design allows you to enjoy a premium massage anywhere without the hassle of tangled wires-whether you're taking a quick break at your desk or winding down at home Versatile Relief for Home & Office: An essential wellness companion for office workers, gamers, frequent travelers, or anyone looking to integrate mindfulness into their daily routine. It seamlessly fits into your lifestyle, providing instant neck relief whenever and wherever you need it Safe & Premium Materials: Manufactured with high-quality, skin-friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable experience without irritation. SKG backs this device with dedicated customer service, making it a thoughtful tech-health gift for family and friends App & Bluetooth Music Control: Connect via Bluetooth to control your massage settings through the dedicated app and enjoy your favorite music during your massage session for a fully customizable and immersive relaxation experience Red Light Warmth Technology: Features advanced red light warmth technology that penetrates deep into neck muscles to enhance blood circulation and provide soothing comfort while relieving muscle tension and stiffness Design With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. SKG does not say what materials are used to make the neck massager. However, on the product website, it mentions "soft-touch silicone" with what looks like PU leather cushioning, with the rest being mostly made up of plastics. On the inside of the massager, there are two "biomimetic kneading heads" that are motorized for the different styles of massage, which are not actually listed at all in the paper user manual, but the standard included modes are: De-stress mode, Mediation mode, Relax mode, Shiatsu mode. The massager looks quite premium and is actually very comfortable to wear. This massager is small and light enough to go anywhere, as it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I was able to use it in the chair while writing this review. Unlike the back massager, SKG does not warn in the user guide not to use it for more than 30 minutes a day (or two 15-minute sessions). However, there is a long laundry list of important safeguards to consider before and during the use of the device, and it is warned that the neck massager is not waterproof. It also includes a 1,400mAh battery with a rated power of 14W and input of 5V, which is the standard for up to USB 3.0 power (although the Amperage is not mentioned at all). SKG does not say how long it takes to charge, but a quick calculation at 2A (if that is what it is) would mean it would take roughly 1.5 hrs to charge from empty. In any case, the light around the button changes from orange to green on a full charge. In addition, it is not possible to use the device while it is charging. On the right of the neck massager is the On/Off and modes button, which also acts as a joystick. You can operate all the modes directly from the power button, as well as the app, which I'll get into a bit later: Push up: Short press to adjust Heat levels On/Off button: long press Mode Switching: Short press (while in operation) ➕ Push left: increase Music volume ➖ push right: decrease Music volume Push down: Short-press to turn Music on or off The massager defaults to De-stress mode, and it is not stated anywhere if the neck massager has overheat protection. This time around, regarding heat, the only detail I could find is that it has "triple action soothing heat." The temperature stages are not listed anywhere in the paper manual, Amazon listing, or official website. The heat levels can be adjusted through the app or directly on the device using the joystick button. Usage There's also the SKG Health app, which makes using the massager far easier than feeling around for the button on the side of your neck. If the app is stopped, you are required to log in with a verification code over email, which I am not too pleased with, as this means it will only work that way for however long SKG decides to support it through said app. However, I was not able to get the app to connect to the OS500, which I have reported back to my contact. Bluetooth appeared to be working on the neck massager as it became available to pair with my phone, but the SKG app failed to discover it. Before I forget, there's also a switch next to the USB charging port to deactivate and activate the Voice Prompt, which, when enabled, audibly tells the user when switching intensities, modes, or connecting to the app and informs when the massages start and are completed. That said, on to my likes and dislikes, which are listed below. What I didn't like Unable to connect the Neck Massager to the app Use through the mobile app relies on continued support from SKG What I liked Can be used without the app Cordless use Light and comfortable to wear Heat is also quite comfortable Where to buy: According to the official website, this has an MSRP of $249.99, but is currently $50 (on Amazon). To sweeten the deal a bit more, there's also an in-page coupon that knocks a further $20 off the price. SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager for $179.99 on Amazon (was $199.99) Apply the in-page $20 off coupon for the final price of $179.99 Just like the back massager, this gets a confused thumbs up (due to the cost). However, I cannot rate it through app usage as it failed to connect. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
