They were? I remember playing for 3 days straight to hit 80 in the hopes of a realm first Feat of Strength and the server didn't crash once.

You got lucky, then. Many people had to deal with crashing instance servers, getting lost on the way to battlegroup servers, mounts and pets disappearing, rolling restarts that lasted for 5 hours... :)

Didn't hear a single thing about that anywhere from anyone. Didn't crash once. Hell only logged out twice to sleep.

Well, for what it's worth, my friend just told me the same thing. I wasn't playing at the time, so I don't know.

I recall BC having some issues, but WoTLK was a great launch and everything went smooth as a baby's bottom.

Friend called, my server and it seems alot are up also. Updating addons wasn't to bad, had to install the Curse client, which wasn't too bad, I'll see how it goes.

Maybe just lucky. 3.02 and WotLK launch (3.0.3) were BAD on my 3 realms.. Down and buggy as s$*t for a good week or so. :(

Well I got to play a good few hours, but now my server is acting up.

Good news is the DK changes have seemed to boost my DPS. I'm using the 0/10/61 build I mentioned earlier, and damn, I'm doing very well. 3200 DPS on average, compared to 2800 pre-patch on the 17/0/54 build.

Andrew-DB why does your Gnome look like the undead? :p

Take it being a Death Knight causes that?

I haven't played WoW in like 5 or 6 months.

Wish you could start all classes at like 55. I currently have a Hunter at 68 and a Mage at 50 something... Dunno whether to re-roll or carry one of them on.

Hows the mage been since WotLK? And how is pre-70 leveling, even faster now?

So...looking at mmo-champion a few guilds have already started beating the hard mode encounters.

The patch has been out for less than a day now.

Blizz said the hard modes would keep raiders entertained for awhile. By a while do they mean 1 week?

Ulduar is a joke, only ever so slightly harder than Naxx.

Can I get some opinions on this build for my feral druid, it's going to be a mix between PvE and PvP ( Haven't decided what my end-game goal is, just leveling my druid :) )

Why have a mix / hybrid spec when you can just dual spec and go "all out" talent wise for each of the two you are considering.

Because I just started playing again after a 4 month break and I sold my other account, I barely have 100g, let alone 1000g for dual speccing. Only level 50 so far.

I come to do my best for the Gnomes of the world.

Gnome? Do you honestly like how your character looks? :blink: If only your Death Knight was a tauren, rawr! :)

How are you finding your druid so far then? I stopped playing just after WoTLKs launch, but druid was definitely my favourite class. I miss the good old days of serious survivability in arena as resto. :( I'd probably still be playing it if I had rolled Tauren instead of female Night Elf.

Yeah, that always puzzles me how people can play gnomes, they are so ugly and their animations are horrible. You are going to spend countless of minutes, hours, days perhaps even months on it, why not have a cool looking character :p Same goes for Female Taurens ... :|

I'm still debating whether or not to renew my account and level a Tauren Druid or an Undead, but I don't think it would be a good move considering I'm nearing the end of college and I have a lot of work to do. :( I found I got easily bored towards the end, everything becomes so repetitive, there's nothing better than levelling with a group of friends though.

Yeah, bad idea to start playing WoW if you know you can't dedicate a decent amount of time. Only reason why I'm currently leveling my Tauren Druid is because I'm on an almost 2 month vacation, only two weeks in so far - Many people would probably have better things to do with all this free time, I don't, I just play WoW :p

I started on a server with a few friends who both have level 80's and are leveling alts that are about to hit Northend, I'm just leveling all by my lonesome, just hit level 50 tonight. So apart from the occasional instance / zone boost, it's extremely lonely - Only thing that keeps me going is all the fun we're going to be having at 70-80. (Y)

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
