PVP in wow is a joke

i love wow, the raiding aspect at least

but really, arenas are all paladins and DK's

they bothhave wayyyyy too much burst damage and frankly im seeing unstoppable paladin DK teams completely shutting people down

specially blood elf pallys combined with DK's..lots of silences, stuns, 2 shottings

but luckily i dont play for pvp otherwise id have quit the game

dual spec im excited for, as a hybrid with 3 sets of gear itll help alot

Can't you use the repair utility? I don't know if that would cause them to download or what.

There is no repair utility for Mac..., the current problem is that 3.0.8 either crashes upon patching, kernel panic's, or you can update normally..., im in the panic and crash part, and as many other people, have tried almost everything...

With .app from 3.0.9 i might be able to just use them on OSX with my 3.0.9 Windows files, since the files are pretty much time same (MPQ, folder organization, etc).

I erased ALL of my addons and my WTF folder the other night and restarted completely afresh because my WoW install was acting rather strange.

After redownloading most of the most used addons, its now running more smooth than ever.

And here's an updated screenshot of my main, Minifig (the DK):

Looks like I took a 50 page hiatus on this thread. :p

I was dual boxing before the expansion and made it to 60 before wrath hit. I had 2 70s already. So I went out and bought the xpac for my primary account and started playing it. Got one to 71 and the other to 73 before I couldn't stand it anymore. Seems this expansion is more of the same **** with different colors painted over the top of it.

I've since cancelled my account and regretted dropping the $40 for the xpac. Mostly it was after I did the math on the amount of time it would take to get to 80 with 4 characters that made me want to cry. I could play though SEVERAL different game campaigns in that same amount of time. I guess once you're out of school you realize your weeks aren't oozing freetime anymore. I've since picked up a 360 and played through a couple games and started several more. I'm sure I'd only have one or two level 80s if I was still playing WoW. Disappointing really. Well, at least Diablo 3 won't require such a massive time investment... I hope.

What are the DK's specialties? What's so good about it?

- Face rolling in PvP

- Creating an army of moron players, more so than the huntard class

- Doing ok DPS and taking up a raid slot

- having the most annoying spell effects rendering it impossible to see fissures properly when they are 'tanking'.

Take your pick. :p

- Truth.

- All DK's spare a select few, like Hunters, or DKtards.

- DK's have normally been at the top of dps meters for while as long as they aren't the above.

- Turn down spell detail, can still see fissures (pain, but meh it works).

Mine:

- Free epic ground mount at level 55.

- Less than 5 hours (maybe 6) to get to 60.

- Complete OP in everything in outlands (IE no trouble to level) and most of Northrend.

- Pain in the ass to level professions, such as gathering, from 1 (but that's all toons).

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
