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.

I serve the Alliance .. proudly.

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 admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
