Yup, watched that video today. Most fights didn't last 2 minutes

Linkage: http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=146299

wow unreal... i thought our dps was pretty decent but thiers is insane... my guildies on a good night range between 7-11k on the 10 man normal.... these guys were consistantly pushing 11k+ in HC ... wow!

Yeah after watching that fight i certainly think its doable... I am going to be brave and ask my guild if i can try lol... probably do not have his mana pool at the moment, im HoL specced/orientated with only around 3k SP buffed i know I could easily solo heal a few.

And some more cataclysm news:

We're continuing to refine the badge/emblem and PvP point systems in Cataclysm and we'd like to share some of those changes with you today. Please enjoy!

Our primary goal when approaching badges in Cataclysm is to address a lot of the confusion that comes with these currency systems. To that end we're changing badges to a more straightforward point system, similar to the ones we've used for a while for Arenas and Battlegrounds. There will be a total of four types of points you can earn in Cataclysm (two for PvE and two for PvP), and these will remain the same even as we introduce new content.

Here's the breakdown:

PvE

Hero Points -- Low-tier, easier-to-get PVE points. Maximum cap to how many you can own, but no cap to how quickly you can earn them. Earned from most dungeons. (most like the current Emblem of Triumph)

Valor Points -- High-tier, harder-to-get PvE points. Maximum cap to how many you can own, as well as a cap to how many you can earn per week. Earned from Dungeon Finder daily Heroic and from raids. (most like the current Emblem of Frost)

PvP

Honor Points -- Low-tier, easier-to-get PVP points. There will be a maximum cap to how many you can own, but no cap to how quickly you can earn them. Earned from most PvP activities.

Conquest Points -- High-tier, harder-to-get PvP points. There will be a maximum cap to how many you can own, and a cap to how many you can earn per week. Earned from winning Rated Battlegrounds or Arenas. (currently called Arena Points)

When a new tier of raiding gear is released or a new PvP season begins, your higher tier of points will be converted into the lower tier. For instance, if a new tier of raid gear is released, your Valor points will be converted to Hero points, and similarly if a new PvP season begins your Conquest points will be converted to Honor points. Of course that means with these new releases you'll always begin without any of the higher tier of points, and thus be unable to stockpile them.

As noted for Conquest points, the Rated Battlegrounds and Arenas will be sharing this same point type. Because of that, it will in fact be possible to get the best PvP items without setting foot in Arena; however, more powerful armor and weapons will of course require more Conquest points, so players who win their matches more often will still gear up faster. We're removing personal rating requirements on almost all items; they're definitely removed for weapons. We might offer a few items to the absolute best players based on personal rating, largely as cosmetic or 'bragging rights' type items. And you'll have the option of purchasing the previous season?s gear with the more readily available Honor points.

We do plan to have a way to convert Honor points (PvP) into Hero points (PvE), and vice versa, at a loss. The conversions will be possible, but it won't be a 1:1 rate, and you'll have fewer points after the conversion process. We won't allow the higher tiers to be exchanged for each other, however.

To explain the reasoning for the weekly cap on points for the higher tiers, this is to provide flexibility in how players choose to earn the points without feeling like they have to do all of the content as often as it is available. If your Valor income from raiding is sufficient, you may not feel the need to run Dungeon Finder every night, or perhaps even at all. Likewise, a PvP player could choose to participate in a lot of Rated Battlegrounds but no Arenas, or focus on both, and still be able to earn the points they want.

We realize that with any changes to progression pathways there are going to be questions. We're eagerly awaiting any that we may have left unanswered. To the comments!

So blizzard have realised that players could stockpile Badges... They did it in BC and in Wotlk... only 2 expansion and they decide to change... this is a step back not progression. So all they are doing in Stunting/gimping progression. They have seen how raiders teared down ICC and previous raids, are they making gear Harder to get or making the process longer and more annoying?

So Just to sum up then in Cata...

10 mans and 25 mans of the same dificulty share the same raid lockout ID... (less badges)

There is a Cap as to how many Valor badges on could get per week ...

Just guessing then currently as things stand one could possibly get in one week

VoA10 x2 Frost

VoA25 x2 Frost

Weekly x5 Frost

ICC10/HC x24 Frost?

ICC25/HC x24 Frost?

Doing First Random Everyday for 1 week x14 Frost

In total then 71 badges of Frost per week (someone can correct me if I am wrong, not sure if Heroic modes drop more badges than thier normal counterparts)

From the 71 or so badges it costs 23 Badges for the Primodal Saronites to craft gear... and you need like 5-8 to craft items (25 for Shadow's Edge ... just imagine trying to craft it in Cata...) If making the game annoying and tedious is thier best answer to make things harder to get then im probs out when Cata arrives. Obviously they have not stated if the new badge mechanics will apply to old badges like Frost Triumph etc or just new Cata ones however i just gave frost as an example as they are the current badges. As things stand I do not need gear on my hunter and I had around 300 badges, I have been selling saronite to guldies on the cheap for around 700g so they can craft Shadow's Edge... also I have been sending stuff over to my alts so I could get the Boots/Legs Crafted... Once Cata hits this sort of gameplay will most likely be gone, I wouldnt mind if they make the badges BoA, atlteast then people could send badges from alts to mains and vice versa... I could have had Full T10 on all my alts by now if that was the case ;)

Yes, they're stunting progression so people don't just obliterate their content the night it's released, but I also think they're doing this because there will be more raids available at the start in Cataclysm than there were in WotLK. I'm in a raiding guild and even I don't want to feel obligated to do every raid to get all the badges/points I could possibly acquire per week. Putting a cap on this basically just gives people a break and lets them choose their favorite raid or two to do per week.

Really, they're just trying to find the happy medium between vanilla WoW's system and the emblem system. I think they want to keep it so you can buy the base level of your gear (like the iLvl 251 T10 gear) with points (instead of dropping "tier tokens" from bosses), but they don't want you acquiring all that gear in three weeks. Not sure why they put a cap on the hero points though. Then again, I didn't see the point in capping honor points.

Actually, 25 from ICC10 and ICC25. You forgot the Val'kyr before Valithria that drops an emblem. So, 73 total. With 73 per week, you can get geared up damn fast if you're dedicated and can down most/all of the bosses in ICC.

Actually, I forgot even more: the weekly quests inside of ICC. That's 10 more if you can do them in both ICC10 and ICC25. So 83 badges per week total.

The one thing I dislike is removing personal rating from weapons: it's a trip back to TBC and patch 2.0 where you were pretty much obligated to do PvP if you were a raider because the weapons available from arena points were better than anything you realistically had access too (you could zone into tier 4 with weapons on par with end-boss loot. For some classes PVP items were better than all of the alternatives -- ie feral druids wanted the pvp staff over Tier 6 weapons).

Frost badges quickly became 'obsolete' as do all badges: capping the rate at which you can farm them (ie: 75 are available per week but you cannot earn more than 50, pick the way you want to earn those 50 from raids, dungeon finder, etc) might be part of their plan to deal with raiders getting upset at being forced into old/dead content for their daily fix of frost.

The running joke in my guild is that raid lockouts will be account bound. Conspiracy only schedules 2 progression raiding days per week but everybody has a lot of alts (I'd guess the average is 5 each) so there are a lot of pick-up raids through out the week. If I had to guess I'd say there are problem 10-different raid lockouts used in the guild every week: that turns in to a lot of frost emblems.

Even without this change, there were official guild "main" and "alt" raids so that you could practice new bosses without ruining your limited attempts on your main. Mostly I'm happy with the changes: playing an hour a day is going to be extremely viable and that's exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm worried about this too. I really don't want to do PvP to get the best weapons. I'm hoping they bring down the quality of the PvP items to be in line with the PvE items. Then again, I couldn't see myself replacing Trauma with any of the PvP weapons right now.

I've decided to start 'seriously' 25-man raiding again now that my guild is going to a 2-days/week schedule. There's an opening in my guild's raid for a shadow priest and my 10-man strict group (7/12 hard modes) fell apart a couple of months ago. I haven't played as a shadow priest since?ever really. Can anybody offer advice for some of the harder bits of content? We're 11/12 HM 25-man but there are a couple of fights that are still sketchy (putricide, sindragosa, and saurfang).

Kind of a shame to have the mage go into retirement but nobody seems to need one these days.

Cataclysm Friends and Family Alpha on MMO-Champion :-(, I wish i knew some Blizzard employees

It's not the Alpha.

They just said it's alpha.

If you read the post on the forums it says the "Friends and Family PHASE", which lead me to believe they're just getting access to the beta early.

Just got my 3rd orb of deception on my 98th run for Deathcharger.

Ah well, they make some money :p

You're going to hate me: I decided randomly a few days ago that I wanted the Deathcharger. Did one run and it dropped. :laugh:

    • Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 by Razvan Serea Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. Despite its small size, Rufus provides everything you need! Oh, and Rufus is fast. For instance it's about twice as fast as UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer or Windows 7 USB download tool, on the creation of a Windows 7 USB installation drive from an ISO (with honorable mention to WiNToBootic for managing to keep up). It is also marginally faster on the creation of Linux bootable USBs from ISOs. A non-exhaustive list of Rufus supported ISOs is available here. It can be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, UEFI, etc.) you need to work on a system that doesn't have an OS installed you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS you want to run a low-level utility Rufus 4.15.2393 Beta 2 changelog: Add RISC-V 64 support to UEFI:NTFS Improve the guards for using the "silent" option Improve the ability to cancel during write retries Improve progress reporting for compressed image extraction Fix unrestricted XML entity expansion and integer overflow in ezxml parser (courtesy of @esadowski4) [GHSA-55r2-34wg-8mv9] Fix "silent" Windows installation failing at 75% in most cases [#2960] Fix a crash during boot when using UEFI:NTFS on Snapdragon X based ARM64 platforms [#2934] Fix the first WUE option always being checked by default [#2965] Fix an infinite loop when using Windows ISOs that contain multiple WIMs Fix "Enable runtime UEFI media validation" checkbox not always being properly enabled Other WUE improvements/fixes for OneDrive removal and username validation (with thanks to @christian8641) [#2984, #2991] Download: Rufus 4.15 Beta 2 | 1.9 MB (Open Source) Links: Rufus Home Page | Project Page @GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Tixati 3.43

      By Copernic · Posted

      Tixati 3.43 by Razvan Serea Tixati is a free and easy to use BitTorrent client featuring detailed views of all seed, peer, and file transfer properties. Also included are powerful bandwidth charting and throttling capabilities, and a full DHT implementation. Tixati is one of the most advanced and flexible BitTorrent clients available. And unlike many other clients, Tixati contains NO SPYWARE, NO ADS, and NO GIMMICKS. Tixati portable version is meant to run on a USB flash drive or other portable media. It stores all its configuration files in the same folder as the executable binary files, and all file paths are stored in a format relative to the program executable folder. It is important you do not delete the "tixati_portable_mode.txt" file within the executables folder. This file is what triggers Tixati to run in portable mode. (The executable binaries are actually the same as the standard edition binaries.) When running the portable edition from a USB flash drive, especially one that is formatted in FAT16/FAT32, you may experience some lag when initially loading a new transfer. This is because initializing and allocating large files on flash-based media consumes a greater amount of time and resources compared to a conventional hard-drive. Tixati has the following features: detailed views of all aspects of the swarm, including peers, pieces, files, and trackers support for magnet links, so no need to download .torrent files if a simple magnet-link is available super-efficient peer choking/unchoking algorithms ensure the fastest downloads peer connection encryption for added security full DHT (Distributed Hash Table) implementation for trackerless torrents, including detailed message traffic graphs and customizable event logging advanced bandwidth charting of overall traffic and per-transfer traffic, with separate classification of protocol and file bytes, and with separate classification of outbound traffic for trading and seeding highly flexible bandwidth throttling, including trading/seeding proportion adjustment and adjustable priority for individual transfers and peers bitfield graphs that show the completeness of all downloaded files, what pieces other peers have available, and the health of the overall swarm customizable event logging for each download, and individual event logs for all peers within the swarm expert local file management functions which allow you to move files to a different partition even while downloading is still in progress 100% compatible with the BitTorrent protocol Windows and Linux-GTK native versions available Tixati 3.43 changelog: Several major DHT improvements Added several screening heuristics to filter malicious DHT nodes, prevent Sybil floods Rewrote DHT search algorithms to add support for multi-path lookups Improved DHT logging, more details in several error messages Extended timeout lengths for outgoing queries over I2P Added incoming query / response per second to DHT table status display Updated Regex engine to PCRE2 Faster Search function, scans channel user profiles in much less time Fixed problems with file name parsing and date handling in RSS Faster and more accurate RSS filtering and episode number detection Several optimizations to global text processing functions, such as UTF-8 cleaning, line splitting, and token parsing Complete update of port-mapping UPNP/NAT-PMP engine, added PCP support, mapping over VPN support, and more Several refinements to default gateway detection on Windows / Android, which is used for port-mapping Support for IPv6 interface-scoped addresses, which is sometimes needed for IPv6 gateway detection and port mapping Full support for PCP port remapping, added backup zero-port query in case requested port is rejected New UPNP/NAT-PMP Monitor in Help > Diagnostics New reflected local port/location tracker that analyzes DHT replies to detect true port/location and NAT mapping type New TCP/UDP Ports monitor in Help > Diagnostics, with several statistic and information tabs, and a detailed event log Calculated/reflected local port is now used for port parameter in tracker queries and peer handshake Fixed several problems with Linux Wayland compatibility Completely replaced tray icon functions in Linux, new SNI implementation is now the default with GSI backup Implemented full DBus-Menu server to be used by new SNI tray icon implementation Replaced Linux tray balloon notification DBus client Rewrote auto-shutdown DBus interface for Linux Rewrote sleep inhibit DBus interface for Linux Dropped deprecated Linux dbus-glib dependencies Completely new Windows asynchronous file handling, now using IOCP model with several block-alignment optimizations Better handling of system network resets and interface down/up cycles Added option to fully clear configuration in Settings > Import/Export Remember last option checkboxes when using Import/Export Fixed minor I2P incoming connection routing problems Much faster I2P vanity host name finder Much faster channel user vanity key finder Raised length limit for torrent tracker remote failure messages to 120 from 64 Fixed problems setting download location on a torrent before the meta info is resolved Added location/MOC paths to category pane tooltips Several minor Web Interface fixes Refinements to static and scrolling ellipsizing layout routines Several fixes and improvements to single and multi-line text edit controls Many other minor fixes throughout the user interface A major overhaul of the Android framework has also been done: API target raised to 35, page alignment set to 16K Rewrote all inset processing routines Full rewrite of foreground service, application, and main activity objects New permission request routines Added multi-cast lock request before UPNP/LPDP discovery operations Fixed file permission and locking problems when loading .torrent from web browsers Fixed problems with Z-ordering of modal / non-modal and popup windows Fixed handling of back gesture on newer OS Added status bar icon

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
