Tell me if you like it or not.

Pretty slick. I would move the nameplates down though. Having information all over the screen gets tiresome especially if you are trying to pay attention to monster/self health/castbars/buffs/debuffs along with cooldowns.

Man. Having just leveled a Warlock with no support from my main on another realm to 80. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone trying to get in to WoW.

I mean problems with getting in to PvE:

- No heroics.

- When you do get an heroic. It's full of genuinely retarded players who have no clue how to play their class. Who then go right ahead and insult you when you friendly point out something they are missing.

- PuG raids: "LFM 10 NAXX LINK EPIC ACH". For those who don't understand what's wrong with this. The achievement requires full 25 man ilevel 213 item gear to get (trinket, robe, weapon you get the idea). Now 10 naxx drops ilevel 200. In short. Anyone asking for that is a ****ing idiot.

PvP:

- Impossible. Genuinely. As a lock I have 0 resilience right now I'm starting from 100 honour and a few badges. I need 25 WG badges for a trinket or 40k for a piece of gladiator. Unless I'm past the 400 mark you are a sitting duck. For example if I get cheap shotted and don't get a direct heal. I won't survive the stun. Sorry is this suppose to be fun?

- PuGs again - See my first remark about PvE only type everything in caps.

- Arena. See my first remark.

I guess I won't be re rolling till the next expansion then.

Hehe, I leveled a Lock to 25 and gave up quickly. I realized they aren't good for soloing and rely on support way to much. Not to mention Healers hate them thanks to their Life Tap ability.

What were you doing? :/

The lock is the easiest class to solo. I could solo most group quests and if I had my cooldowns up pull 4-6 mobs at a time and AoE them down.

Did you go Affliction, Demonology, or Destruction? I went Affliction and it was really hard to solo by myself. Even with a few Macro's set up and a strategy for my Voidwalker/Succubus to tank while I drained and DoT'd them I still struggled. And yes most Healers don't mind Life Tap IF you DON'T spam it but a lot of Locks like to spam it.

As giga said, should have gone demo. I spam LF like my life depended on it. It's the core of the class and with a Aff lock at 80 it's part of your rotation so you can get the buff from the glyph. You just do it before right after you cast haunt while the heal is traveling to you. It'll heal the damage taken.

WoW.com has multiple independent sources confirming the release of Patch 3.2 tomorrow (Tuesday August 4th in the US) and we're happy to pass that information along to you.

There are no patch notes available yet; however, they will no doubt be made available within the next few hours. But really, the patch notes are not going to deviate a terrible amount from the PTR patch notes, so this evening is a good time to familiarize yourself with everything.

The patch will also bring with it some rather significant extended maintenance as well.

SWEET :D

Damn, my guild is still working Yogg and the released new tier already! We haven't been able to get past P2 of Yogg as it's a combination of lack DPS in brain room and no control up top. But we have been steadly making progress and I was so hoping to kill him before patch. O well, here's to new **** out while I raid the old ****!

    • The laptop in the bedroom is an Acer with i7-10510U CPU. Acer's website states they will not be upgrading it so I had little choice other than disable secure boot. I know next to nothing on these matters so hopefully it will be fine.
    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.

    • Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly preparing to lose two more prominent artificial intelligence researchers, with Gemini contributors Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel planning to join rival AI developer Anthropic. According to a report from Bloomberg, both researchers are viewed internally as important contributors to Google’s flagship Gemini model family. Adler worked on Google’s AI coding efforts, while Pritzel was involved in the process used to train AI systems. Neither company has publicly confirmed the moves. The report also does not say when the researchers will formally leave Google or what positions they will hold at Anthropic. Training a large AI model requires decisions covering its architecture, data preparation, distributed computing infrastructure, and post-training methods that shape how the finished system behaves. Researchers with experience operating at the scale of Gemini are consequently difficult to replace quickly. Both Adler and Pritzel have previously contributed to Google DeepMind’s scientific research as well. They are listed among the authors of the company’s work on expanding AlphaFold protein-structure predictions across entire proteomes, alongside AlphaFold researchers including John Jumper. The reported departures arrive shortly after another important change within Google’s Gemini organization. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving Google for OpenAI, after returning to the search company in 2024 through its deal with Character.AI. Shazeer is particularly well known as one of the authors of the Transformer paper, whose architecture became the foundation for most modern large language models. Anthropic, meanwhile, has been recruiting recognizable figures from other leading laboratories. OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic’s pre-training team in May. His move, followed by the reported recruitment of several Google researchers, suggests Anthropic is strengthening the research teams responsible for the core capabilities of future Claude models rather than concentrating solely on product and enterprise sales. The competition is complicated by the companies’ extensive commercial relationships. Anthropic competes directly with Google’s Gemini models, but it also relies on Google as an infrastructure partner. In April, Anthropic announced an expanded agreement with Google and Broadcom covering multiple gigawatts of next-generation Tensor Processing Unit capacity. TPUs are Google-designed accelerators used to train and run large AI models. via Bloomberg
