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.

Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games.

AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub.

    • 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.
