I mean, what's this crap with hunters being able to jump back 50ft

pff :p

We're virtually useless at melee range, so we need that jump back to at least have a chance to fire off some shots. If we can't get range we're pretty much a free HK

OK so what is up with people asking you for what achievements you have to join PuG's?? WTF? If this seriously is the way this game is going I'm going to quit again.

oh god, don't get me started on that, I think I already ranted about it a few pages back :p Trust the WoW community to turn something "fun" into a "requirement"

You can get an addon that fakes the achievement (No it's not against the EULA)

But still, it's really sad how they demand you have experience before they will group with you. How did they gain it in the first place? What if your on an alt, etc. It seems confined to just a few instances on my server but I can see it slowly creeping into even average ones.

Yeah, it's kind of lame. How do they expect people to learn if everybody wants you to have an achievement already to go? You should either try to get into them anyway (just give them your highest achievement applicable & say you know what you're doing, or even say you've done it on another toon), or wait for ones that don't need an achieve. Or you could try to get into a guild that doesn't mind bringing you along.

Well for the few times it has happened, I called BS on them and they never whispered back to me haha. But I mean really, I haven't played since 2008 so I am a little rusty, but I mean, getting back into how your character works isn't that tough, so maybe I will try and get some of these achievements ... if not, I will look out for that addon that fakes them. :p

Even then I have absolutely no idea why people would 'require' you to have achievements ... I mean they are totally optional and only give you trinkets and titles.

Actually, there even are achievements for just a normal instance run. On my realm it was impossible to get into a group without an achievement. Which is why I always created my own groups! (and it always worked out, huzzah for almost-oneshotting-everything-Ulduar-10-pugs!)

I think my server is just full of people who think they are too hardcore. I've tried to run my own groups to no avail. I think I need to switch servers. :p

Really is a shame the Neowin guild thing never worked out, a UK based one would have been awesome :laugh:

Well, it might not be a Neowin named guild but I am the GM for a social guild (because atm I'm only level 33) on Quel'Thalas, but if you look up my character (Kaeci?) and just tell me your from Neowin and I'll get you straight in:))

Have a looksie at guild Clicky

Yes, mana should not be an issue for you. Remember to use Divine Plea before every pull (when it's not on CD). With Guarded By The Light & Divine Plea, you're constantly regenerating mana during the whole fight. It's absolutely awesome and there are very few times you will need to drink.

I have a Prot Pally myself (converted from Ret) and having 2 points in SA + the Glyph is just awesome, it's pretty useless in raids, but in Heroics it gets the job done, you never have to drink as you just get tons of MP back as soon as you get healed + Divine Plea.

Awesomeness :)

So i thought i would rest my main and Pick up my DK from the Sidelines, since the nerf i lost about 2k HP as tank so my goal was to get over 30k again and i finally managed to do that the other night. Takes about 1 day to get enough badges for the T8 chest and another for the Helm so i dont think the grind was that bad. Was wondering if anyone here could tell me if i am able to confortably tank ulduar 10 with my current gear now. I have around 32-33k hp unbuffed in frost presence and around 40k when raid buffed in most 10 man situations. My goal really is to get around 35k unbuffed so i need to squeeze out another 2-3k hp from somewhere.

You look fine and should defiently be able to do the first half and then some. Actually you should be able to do it all, cuz in my tank gear on my warr I'm worse off and can tank most of 25 man. And with upgrades from 10 man you'll snag that extra 3k in no time.

600th post in this thread. Soo is that happy face or sad face?

This is a first....

We will not be conducting our usual weekly maintenance during the week of Tuesday, 9/15/09. There will be no planned downtime, and no server-wide restarts.

We will, however, be restarting Uther to address an issue with a missing boat, though downtime there should only be 3-5 minutes. Everyone else, please enjoy an uninterrupted play experience!

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      A lot of uncertainty in this story. Might. Could. Maybe. The truth is we don't know what will happen to the universe in the end, or if it will end. Our own Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2.5 billion years, with our solar system as part of a new, larger cluster. I guess we'll have to and see how it goes down.

      While people can rely on text expansion, it'd be nice to be able to save prompts as aliases. Since AI chatbots need so much provided context to lessen the chance of them going off rails in their response, it'd be nice to be able to start your prompt with a command word that provides all the necessary context that you find yourself often providing. I know there are 'memory' features, including in Gemini, but I still find myself needing to tell it things in each specific conversation for it to give appropriate responses in many contexts. For example, I have it in the memory that I'm running Fedora 44 KDE Plasma 6.7 yet Gemini constantly gives me instructions for older versions. Once I remind it what I'm running, it corrects itself. This isn't something I should need to do every time I prompt it about my setup.
