Almost forgot how bad WoW looks :laugh: Oh how I wish Blizzard will focus on a much improved engine for their next, big MMO project.

Turn the settings up and use a decent machine, it still looks great, especially in Northrend.

I still think it looks like crap, even on my machine. It looked "okay" back in the days but now the huge slaps of low-res textures, wide open spaces consisting of one texture layer and huge polygon buildings is not pretty nor does it emphasize any sort of "special" style, it just looks dated. Main reason I quit World of Warcraft was actually due to the dated looks, it was like playing a Flash game online in the end, despite having every single setting maxed out.

I think it looks pretty damn good. There are quite a few places in Northrend that look absolutely amazing. And a lot of the new textures for the Wrath content are a lot nicer than the older stuff. It's not Crysis, but it looks good. To compare it to a Flash game is a major exaggeration.

And to stop playing a game because it looks dated to you is quite ridiculous.

Ran a successful For the Horde! raid tonight. It was absolutely amazing. Just seeing all 40 of us crammed onto the boat to Darnassus or the tram between SW and IF was hilarious, but the battles were totally awesome too. We didn't even run into any real resistance until SW or IF, and even then we had only 1 death in SW and only a few in IF.

I ended up #6 overall in DPS, which was really cool to see. Averaged 2k.

That was by far one of the most fun things I've done in the entire game. I can't wait to get into raiding.

I have to admit I'd take WoW's... Eccentric pallet of colours/tones over WAR & AoC which look rather bland in comparison. Both their worlds look lifeless in comparison. Though I guess that is also a problem with the zone design too.

I love having my view distance turned all the way up, looking out and seeing weather, creatures, people and a living landscape hundreds of yards away. Swimming through icey waters and killin Orcas, taking the zipline down onto a small island where wolves are hunting the shoveltusks I need for a quest (Stupid Wolves!), WoW just feels so alive and I don't see it being successfuly replaced for quite a while.

The engine it self might be out dated, but the game is far from looking like a Flash game. Unless you're playing some pimped out Flash games I don't know about.

I'm a little peeved, and happy.

I went with a 40 man raid tonight (my first one ever! .. that's why I'm happy) to do the FOR THE ALLIANCE achievement. *Kill all the horde leaders.* The reward is an awesome Warbear mount.

We downed Carne Bloodhoof and whatshis****ingname in the BE city.. we downed Thrall AND Sylvanias TWICE and they both glitched and rezed and reset on us, ****ing off so many people in our raid that they just left the raid.

In the long run, I didn't get my Warbear mount. I opened a ticket. 30 minutes later.. GM's said they couldn't do anything... That's why I'm peeved. :(

However...

Can anyone spot the red haired gnome in the 40 man raid? :laugh: I know where I was in the middle of that fight and I can't even find myself.

There's also this screenshot:

Me, right before we took off to kill off the first Horde leader, ahead of everyone else, looking like I'm the raid leader.. :laugh:

Haha that's funny. I've killed all the alliance leaders about 4 times in the past week. My server is currently trying to destroy the alliance. We got over 80 people and attacked Stormwind, killing everything and everyone everywhere. We help out in the AH and bank for over an hour an a half.

If the leaders reset it means your MT fails at tanking lawl.

That's because we owned your leaders so hard that Blizz gave ours extra lives :whistle:

My guild's hitting Naxx this very moment and I'm listening in trying to garner some idea of whats going some idea, and while they're regaining their health, someone created a fire so they could regain their health faster.. "Lets be cozy.." and someone says "Garrik -- Your a tree.. don't stand in the fire!!!!" :rofl:

So my third Maly kill and first in 10 man. Think I finally got the rotation down for DPS.

Nice. Malygos can be frustrating, especially if the other DPS in your raid aren't paying attention. Gotta kill those Power Sparks as fast as possible while trying to stack the debuff they give on death to beat the enrage timer.

The fight is fun though!

PS: Grats on the 6000th post in this thread. >_>

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges.

Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
