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

Really?! I can't wait until Cataclysm starts, my Raiding toon will go in the attic during the mornings, and I'll be playing my druid every day until I get him up to 80. My raiding toon will only come out to do an occasional daily if guildies need help with stuff or I need more money for repairs on raids that go badly. He'll be my auction house toon. My worgen druid will become my main of choice.

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 =)

I'm obsessed with the new BG. I love it.

I need to do AV *thinks* I think 23? More times.. maybe 26? Win or lose, then I need to do one other BG 30 times and I can get my black mecho-chicken.

I'm starting to wonder if all the pets I collected on Minifig I should have waited to collect on my worgen.. oh well.

Hey now, I never said I didn't like my druid, I just said feral DPS wasn't too fun. I love healing and boomkin DPS with it, just not feral.

Race-change Minifig to a Worgen. Problem solved. Gnomes blow anyways. =P

HA! no.. The name wouldn't work the same. :p :)

Race change and then get the name change! :p

So my wife and I and a friend are transferring off our RP server to a different one, not with our mains but our alts. She has a 62 mage(A) and I have a 62 rogue (A). Anyone able to recommend a good server that's either pvp-rp or pvp where there isn't tons if immaturity, a decent non elitist raiding community and not too much corpse camping by level 80s as you're trying to level? (I understand you'll get some, it is a pvp server afterall. I just don't want excessive amounts of bored 80s ganking you while you're trying to level heh.) We were going to go to Maelstrom as my wife has a Horde character there but we don't know what Alliance side is like and with the servers being down is hard to tell.

I'm on Emerald Dream, an RP-PvP server. I love it mostly because of the alliance community. :heart:

I find there to be quite a number of idiots on PvP servers, and quite a number of cyber-sexing douche bags to be on RP servers. I also can't stand normal servers as they're too cheesy, being that the factions are supposed to be against one another...

That said, while idiots will be found no matter where you go, I certainly feel there are less where I'm at. Alliance vs. Horde also seems to be fairly balanced, so there isn't much need to worry about leveling. In PvP, you WILL die (it's inevitable really), but you will certainly also get your share of kills no doubt. :)

RP is relatively non-existent though, if that has your interest at all. There are still small groups/guilds that are RP oriented I wouldn't doubt, but to put it simply, I don't have to fear Goldshire. Haven't played Horde side there though, so I can't assure you that Silvermoon is safe as well.

The population on a whole is pretty big. You can expect maybe a small queue on Sunday nights maybe, but it's nothing too extreme really.

Hope that helps.

I'm on Draka, PVE, Alliance, I could talk to my guild and see if we could use a 62 mage and a 62 Rogue..

Want me to?

I'd link you to our guild, but the armory is down. :(

Shaman hit 24 yesterday, i'm averaging about 2 levels a day. I need to buy WoTLK at some point, but until then my shaman is my priority. Is it better to use a 2 hander as a shaman (i'm enhance) or 1 hander + shield? I'm currently using Killmaim (the blue axe) with rockbiter.

I was using a 2-hander until I hit 40 and got dual wield. I don't know if it's better or not, but it certainly seems better. And I suggest you go with flametongue as well, especially if you're using a slower weapon. Once you get windfury at 30, use that instead.

Both of there starting zones are phased for at least the first 5 levels (for story) and even then you still cant camp any starting zone (for any race) even on normal pvp servers unless all the lowbies are stupid enough to flag themselves.

Also, when you're camping you're wasting valuable leveling time on your main! :)

Hurpafriggin' durp, I know. Doesn't mean there won't be a surge of them leveling up outside the phased area. :)

Don't forget, anything below nine levels of your own won't give you PVP Honor or experience now. So all your time killing them will be wasted effort and just a general annoyance.. If enough people report you, a Blizzard GM has full rights to port you to the other side of the world..

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

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
