Be very careful about Faction Changing if you like achievements.

I kept my Loremaster title, but I've got to do all the quests for Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor all over again as a horde guy to get those achievements again, as well as do another 3 zones in Northrend. :(

Another question about the interface, I've learned how to customize my fonts and everything and I have SCT (ScrollingCombatText) installed, but I can't seem to change the damage output font/size nor the XP font/size.

Anyone know how to customize these?

Especially the XP pop up on enemy death, it looks quite ugly in my current setup :( Damage as well, but I can actually turn it off under the Interface options. Both look pixelated/too big for some reason :/

I just found a way :p - http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.h...38894&sid=1

Googled earlier but didn't find anything. Changed over to MilkScrollingBattleText as well, think I might keep it rather than ScrollingCombatText.

You shouldn't have to do anything again. Those quests are still counted as "completed" for you, even though they're Alliance side. In fact, if you hadn't already completed the quest achieves (like me) you could start doing the Horde quests to add to the progress you already made as Alliance. Talk to a GM if they took those achieves away because they shouldn't have.

I was actually going to respond to your previous post suggesting MSBT. I love that addon. So much more configurable and customizable than SCT.

You're right, it is much better. I still had to use the workaround in that topic to rid of the Blizzard XP text though, I have no idea if you still have that turned on by default? There is an option in MSBT to turn on it's own XP pop-up, which I have on, but it didn't remove the Blizzard XP text, both of them were appearing till I did the workaround.

Either way I've finally hacked my interface into something I like :laugh: Backing up my addon folder for sure, the amount of hours spent tickering/making mistakes/reinstalling stuff is highly numbered :p

It finally happened. I finally got my Rusted Proto-Drake.

It only took just about every Wednesday since Ulduar came out... (only cause of lineup changes and crap that came up...)

Regardless it's done... and I can finally enjoy Wednesdays again...

I will never step foot in Ulduar again.

I actually don't remember. I know it's gone on mine but I don't remember how I removed it. It's been a while since I created my interface.

I don't know if I'll ever get that. My guild is too busy with ToC to be serious about Ulduar anymore. We do run it often and we do try for hard modes, but it's more of a side activity than anything.

With this, completed quests that are considered faction-specific—or are faction-neutral and part of a quest chain—will be removed from the list of completed quests and no longer count towards any running "quests completed" totals. Standalone faction-neutral quests will be unaffected by this process and remain in the character's list of completed quests. Should you ever elect to change back to the character's original faction, the original list of completed quests will be restored.

Pretty sure that's the answer I'll get from a GM, when he responds to my ticket.

:rofl:

I think it's now time for me to find a better interface, been using default, but at level 21 the paladin already has enough spells to fill a whole hotbar and then some. Using default and having to push the arrow to jump between is annoying.

I downloaded Wowmatrix to help with addons, but the past two days its always stuck at "checking addon database", then times out asking me to check my connection. Anyone else using it having issues?

Have you went in to interface then ui and selected the other 3 rows of button slots for the ui yet

Just curious, did you make sure to disable the floating text in the WoW interface options? Esc > Interface > Combat Text. May be able to disable it there, not sure though.

That's so weird. I faction-changed my mage after hitting 80 and I still have all my quest-related achievements as well as the correct progress for any incomplete ones. Perhaps they changed the process recently?

I was in the auction house today putting some stuff on and noticed I had this in my inventory :laugh: Autoloot is on, I must not have noticed picking it up last night.

First time I've ever had that world drop.

What do you kill those turkeys for?

Killed 9 of them around Stormwind :laugh:

edit: I know you loot the turkey meat, but what's it for?

There's an achievement for killing 40 Wild Turkeys within a time limit. The meat is also used in a holiday recipe for the dailies.

:o :drool: :omg: Possible character model revision in Cataclysm ? :omg: :drool: :o

This would be great. However i am still hoping in the future for an HD texture pack as an optional download for folks with higher end machines. :p

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
