I've been looking for a good addon that identifies when procs go off visually. I found Power Auras Classic but it has not been updated since December and doesn't seem to function properly. Does anyone have a good suggestion for something similar? Specifically I used a DK and I want to receive a big huge notification when Killing Machine procs.

TellMeWhen or SexyCooldown.

That help?

Trying to cram a working UI onto my notebook's screen I tried to cut back the addons I used. Right now I'm just using Satrina Buff Frames

with some custom filters to get the effect of classtimers/powerauras/etc. without needing to configure yet another addon. I'm already using

SBF for buffs and debuffs.

I've been just moving SBF with a couple of bars that show when procs I care about are up (or down in the case of things like horn of winter).

Here's a quick demo on my mage that shows missle barrage/quad core/arcane power/icey veins under the cast bar.

Debuffs I'm concerned with go on the opposite side (scorch/living bomb/slow, or diseases for a DK).

I have a third frame that you don't see which shows things I can spell steal from NPCs or debuffs I can remove on friendly players when they're

my target. Going this route allowed me to get all of the cooldown alerts out of my scrolling combat notifications. Now my notifications area can

scroll more slowly and be larger because it's not cluttered with "OMG You got Buffs" -- it's easier to see things like which color ooze I have to

kill or who I have to bite when I'm a vampire.

Example: http://gallery.me.com/colinstein#100345

You'll notice some weird stuff like an iceblock and wotf for no reason: I just wanted to make sure all the timers for those things were displayed

correctly. I'm still setting up the row of little cooldowns so abilities were sort of stuffed in there just to fill it up.

Honestly i hope they do the beta like they are for starcraft and after a while just allow anyone that preorders it to get in, that would be cool.

It's probably not necessary. The only reason to invite that many people for testing is when you're stress testing servers. Since StarCraft 2 has brand-new infrastructure, they'd be wanting to test to make sure it'll hold up okay for launch. WoW's architecture on the other hand is already quite mature so the only reason for F&F Alphas and Beta is to get feedback on the content and changes that they've made from people who've never seen any of it yet.

And yes, the NDA is still in effect, does cover saying if you're in it, and no doubt Blizzard does care about people blatantly flaunting it.

Just about all the stuff I've seen posted around (read: mmo-champ) have been taken using a small sandbox server; I don't think I've seen more than a couple of pics from the actual servers (not that I've been looking for them, anyway).

Looking to do a re-roll here shortly (RaF) and for Cata future, anyone got some good servers? Alliance/Horde doesn't matter as none of us has a preference, just wanna go somewhere to level up toons and do some casual, but focused, raiding.

Undermine Alliance wins Wintergrasp 75% of the time..

So i'm debating whether to make my DK alliance or horde. I've been horde since i started playing, and i am not sure if i could stand leveling another character on the horde side so soon after hitting 80 with my warr, but at the same time if i go alliance i'm not sure if i'll even have a guild, and i won't have any money, heirlooms, or the like to help me out. There's a abundance of DKs in the game and i imagine that all the alliance guilds that needed a DK have a DK, at least if i go horde i can get into the same guild as my main and be sure to raid if i get geared.

Actually, you can mail your heirloom gear from horde to alliance and vice versa as long as they are on the same account. Heirloom gear is considered "Bind to Account" so you can send it to any toon, on any faction. As for the money, that takes a bit of finesse to accomplish. You basically have your alliance toon set up an auction on a neutral AH, then have a friend buy it from their horde toon (you can't buy your own auctions) and the money goes to your alliance toon, minus the AH costs.

As for choosing Horde or Alliance, it's a personal preference. I had all my toons Horde and just had my DK Alliance. I would rarely play my DK after hitting 80, so I just removed it and haven't made another since.

Last I heard I thought they stop'd you from doing that?

    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.
