Okay, this is getting REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAL ****ing old guys. If one of the staff members is deleting my posts, at least have the decency to say why it was deleted. I'm pretty sure it's got nothing to do with my connection, since I saw the post in the thread after replying...

All I posted was that the shaman totem quests will probably be removed or revamped for Cataclysm, since the zones are getting changed up a bit. Not to mention they've already removed the annoying druid quests so it's not a far fetched idea by any means.

relax, take a chill pill ;)

So I just discovered Arathai Basin 2 ours ago ... WTF! Why didn't anyone tell me about this before? This is great ... Been in 8 and won 8 .. 24 marks, working my way towards a Frost Wolf Howler mount =)

Haha, have you checked the other pvp methods also? My personal favorite is Alterac Valley, i just love the prospect of huge hordes of people rushing at each other and having huge fights and trying to kill the king. It's just extremely awesome when teamwork happens also.

Arathi Basin doesn't reward the Frostwolf Howler mount for marks, Alterac Valley does.

lol, wish I could say mine was that comDeath Knightorc80?b>Paladinolo48 - 48

I also have some repeat classes as I've moved servers over the years. 44 and 48 warriors, 32 and 47 pallies, 76 DK... and low level alts I couldn't get past level 25. I fail at clo:/ies too. :/

I think the more you do it, the more you know the reward and fun of getting to 80 and playing that class in end-game content. I've got 4 80s right now (paladin, mage, DK, and druid) and I'm working on a shaman (currently at 44) and a rogue (currently at 13). I'm also working on getting cloth heirloom gear so I can do a warlock and a priest.

I used to hate leveling with a passion, but the heirloom gear greatly reduces the time it takes, and, as I said, knowing what I'll be doing with all these different characters once I get them to 80 helps motivate me along the way.

That being said, I'm not sure I'll ever do a warrior or hunter... But it would be nice to have a full set of 80s.

i admit i will be creating an alliance character for the expansion so i can be a Wargen however i have yet to determine what class i want to be.

Same. I was alliance up until recently, so it kind of sucks that I'm going to have a single alliance character. Oh well. Blizz is hoping to do cross-faction BoA gear transfers soon, so luckily I can still support him with stuff like that.

Druids for life! (My Druid) :)

I like my druid a lot. I leveled feral with a healing off-spec, but I wasn't very satisfied with the feral DPS. I switched to a moonkin build, using just the healing gear I already had (note: the healing gear wasn't good enough for heroics yet) and I was already pulling 2.7k DPS on heroic bosses. I was blown away :laugh:

Feral can do some of the top DPS if you know how to play it. The only problem is that feral also has the most obscenely complicated priority system instead of a standard rotation.

Yeah, I just wasn't having fun with it. Complicated can be fun, but it was just over-complicated in my opinion.

It's not over-complicated really. Once you get the cycle going its pretty easy to keep up.

Mangle, Savage Roar, Rake, shred to 5cp, rip, shred to 4 or 5cp while also keeping mangle and rake up, Savage Roar... repeat :)

If you have another druid or a warrior with trauma in the group its even easier.

Once you learn the ins and outs its pretty easy to manage and provides for some pretty awesome dps. I'll pull top 5 on most single target fights.

Anybody else having huge lag? Seems like some European realms are full of it. The ping is going over the top. Also, Blizzard's European sites don't seem to work properly.

yesterday i was having some intense lag when looting candy buckets however i think that the lag is generated from all the people looting the same items at the same time all over the realm causing a back end database issue with item lookups.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
