Getting bored of the alliance side, it really is full of kids compared to the horde side, there are more immature people on alliance than there are on horde so i probably will change.

Getting sick and tired of players who simply do not know howto play the game or their class. Tend to always end up in groups where im having to carry people through, people do not tend to progress properly from normal instances -> heroic instances. And are severely undergeared in raids etc. Just last week there was a person in greens in Our ulduar raid. Raid leader decided to bring him because he was his friend.

Hopefully the horde faction will be new challenges and a more mature atmosphere to Raiding in Pug.

good luck with that but i can say its just as bad on the other side

Well it's going to be more than a "Character Re-Customization" which is currently ?12. So I honestly wouldn't be suprised if it cost ?15 for migration and another ?15 for the faction.

That sounds about right to me, I'm annoyed that it doesn't include the server transfer however. When moving chars between accounts you get the option to move it server and if the name is already in use change name too.

I think it's that the heirlooms just won't be extended to 85. They're not extending them because they don't want people to require them to get the world/realm first to 85 achievements. I haven't heard anything about restricting them from Worgens & Goblins.
Yeah, this sucks.

Next they'll tell us you can't give Heirloom items to your Worgen/Goblin alts... because they don't want you to have the bonus for the new races either.

Since nothing has been officially determined, I guess this is a possibility, but it seems highly unlikely. We feel that players can already get a lot of mileage out of the current heirloom items but don't want one piece to be the only thing you ever need to get. If you want to keep on progressing it seems a better route to keep earning new items.

That thread. Nothing official, so we will have to wait and see.

Well the paid faction change is the next thing for Blizzard to churn out more cash out next. But beyond that what new service will they introduce to get more money from us? Premium support?

Look, as much as they do cost a lot, I feel it's necessary. It's the only thing keeping people from ninja-ing some amazing loot or emptying a guild bank and then changing faction, name, and server every 30 days. Without the charge, problems like that would run rampant.

I've played Both on a muddle of different servers. And I can tell you right now that both sides are exactly the same. You get adult players on both, you get kids on both and you get adults that act like kids on both. The only way to play with mature people is to find yourself a good guild and use all your play time with them.

I know it sounds stupid and old - but.. if you don't like it, don't use it.

Not that I like Blizzard or any of their services, but you can't complain about it.

You have to pay for a name change, to move to another place, and etc in real life. Why should a game be any different? :p

The service is there for people that made unwise choices in their character creation or are simply tired of their current situation. Why shouldn't there be a fee?

Agreed. It's like Blizzard's way of saying, "We'd rather you didn't, but if you really want to... here." :)

i said it to a friend recently and still believe it...at some point blizz will sell premade max lvl toons...not with ptr lvl gear of course but with a nice set like dk's end up with by the time they finish the starter zone

I'd put money on they won't. Leveling is already at a breakneck speed and there is tonnes of heirloom items out there to use. With cataclysm next year I'm sure they wouldn't like to see all the hard work go to waste either.

Ok, so I left silvermoon city and and am at undercity ... got totally lost for an hour, was in places I wasnt supposed to be, things were level ?? ... kept dying but I made it out ... now I completed Meeting the Warchief quest and have to go back to Silvermoon City :l Very time consuming! No wonder people get addicted to this ****!

For those saying that $30 is too much for a faction change, look at it this way.

When you purchase the faction change, they throw in a Re-customization and a Name Change as well. The Re-customization is $15 by itself, and the Name Change is $10. If you look at it like that, you get the Faction Change for $5. Essentially, you're paying for three services at one time.

Will this service allow me to customize a character and select a different name once its faction has been changed?

Yes. Each Faction Change purchase will also provide the target character with an included re-customization and optional name change.

Quite frankly, I'm taking advantage of that as I can't stand the Alliance on Khaz Modan anymore.

Sorry about the double-post but I have a question regarding server transfers. I'm planning on moving a druid of mine over to the server of my Death Knight. Mainly because the server my druid is on, is pretty dead. Question is, I want to change the name of my druid and want to do that by creating a level 1 character on the destination realm with the druid's name, so when he's moved a prompt for a name-change appears.

Does this still happen? I remember something about Blizzard just adding an extra of the last letter to the name or some crap like that before but I can't remember if that was during my character restorations or when I moved a character.

Thanks!

Yes, that works. I just transferred my Orc DK over to my current server because some of my friends are changing factions and I really didn't want to do that with my current characters. Apparently the name was taken, so it did add some random letters & numbers on the end, but when I went to log in I was prompted to change the name.

So I bought one (rather, I got a 99$ gift card from Logitech and they paid for it because my G9 broke and they didn't have any to replace it, but it was still under warranty.. ^_^. ).

99$ new.

15 buttons.

1st day Impressions: Oh my sweet Jebus. This thing feels like fondling and octopus laced with oil.

2nd day: Wow.. this mouse is comfortable.

3rd: I freaking LOVE THIS MOUSE.

4th: Awh, why can't I bind the thumb buttons to certain things in TF2? :(

On the 5th day right now and I'm absolutely in love with the damn thing.

Im amazed to hear a good review about that mouse. It is build so damn cheaply. The buttons feel horrible, its very light and flimsy. There have been numerous reports of buttons going bad/squeaking/sticking after a few weeks. I didn't think much of the software either. I do like the whole look of the mouse and the color changing aspect, but that is more or less a gimmick. For the money that mouse runs, there are any number of superior better built options.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
