MAJOR Spoilers...

It's upto part 18 so far..

The Worgen starting area.

The guy is a bit of a moron sometimes, but ..

OH MY GOD I CANNOT WAIT TO PLAY THIS.

I cannot wait to be a Worgen druid. They fit my personality and my previous wow personalities so .. so well.

They are everything I have ever wanted in a WoW race.

I am so excited.

Thanks guys, yeah i used QuestHelper, is Carbonite better?

I definitely prefer it mostly because of the map. Overall, it has some great features that really make it an all-in-one addon.

The punks list is also incredible. Let's you see the opposing faction that's nearby (grabbed through the combat log). Also automatically pings areas where the opposing faction is being picked up by other people with the addon. Make great when on PvP servers. :yes: (inb4 HUURRRR DATS CHEAP)

Just thought I'd throw that bit in there since it's one of the more overlooked features of the addon. :)

I love Worgen and Gilneas is beautiful. My main is an Night Elf Druid so I feel kinda "close" to worgen, but to this day I'm still hesitating about which class I should play when Cataclysm is released. Looking at the classes available to a worgen : death knight, druid, warrior, hunter, mage, priest, rogue, and warlock, I can eliminate druid, dk, rogue, priest and warlock as those are either incoherent with my perception of a worgen or I already play them. So I have to choose between : mage, warrior and hunter. Mage is a no-go as it's too weak and a worgen can't be weak, hunters mmyeh maybe ... so really warrior is the only interesting choice.

What's your take on this ? Will you be rolling as a Worgen, and if it's the case which class are you going to play ?

I'd imagine it depends on the specs of the Mac compared to the specs of the PC.

On the exact same hardware I find that the Mac edition runs more 'consistently' than Windows. My peak performance on Windows is higher than a Mac, but when things slow down they are also much worse on Windows.

There are minor niceties that work on the OS X edition that aren't present on Windows (ie: screen recording) and over-all it makes the experience better.

I raid playing on Windows, but only because that's the computer connected to my TV now, I prefer to play on my notebook.

Working on Heroic 25 LK... whats everyone else up to? 5 min break.

Halion 25 heroic: we're failing at phase 3 tonight. Our rank for failing at cutters ('team edward') has like 8 people in it.

Palys aren't casting freedom and people are dropping down-stairs consumption in the wrong place or being slow to run out

after dropping it.

Half of my real-id friend's comments are "lyrics from sad-kid songs" but it's starting to get old now that we're up to fail #8 or something.

dks have non existent dps?

I've seen dk's top 8k.

8k is nothing now; In our 25 man we run (normally) 2 DK's; 1 tank + 1 DPS; DPS easily reaches 11k and I've seen close to 14k DPS on certain occasions. But yes, the point is the same - any class, including DKs are great when played properly.

i will not

Twilight has no place in WoW

i will learn to hate Worgen more than i already hate DKs and their sub standard tanking and non existent DPS

Oh Q_Q.

Learn your lore.

The Worgen were in the Warcraft Universe prior to those crappy books and if you think they weren't you need to look them up. They existed in the Second War.

If I could +1 you I would, WoW Lore (I'm not that into but I still know it) was way before the Twilight Saga; Vanilla WoW had them implemented already and the Worgen City was just off limits until Cataclysm. L2 wow before ya bash it. Now something thats been in the game since the beginning will become playable.

i never said that Worgen were all of a sudden added into the game (tho i can see how that could have been interpreted from what i said)

i'm fully aware they have always been there, i remember killing them in dark shire (i don't know about lore, don't really care)

doesn't change the way i feel about them

my theory is just that Activision wants to throw Worgen into the game to grab that teeny-bopper-twilight crowd

just like the BE was added because AMG HAWT ANIME CHARACTERS I'M LIKE GOKU OVER 9000

horde where crying so much after BEs. all the kids switched over and they got all the crap DPS and started losing all the BGs

and ya, 99% of the DKs i group with are total scrubs

i hate them

and ya, 99% of the DKs i group with are total scrubs

i hate them

Shame you're not playing with very good people or put it another way: 99% of all players are crap.

We have one tank (switched from DPS a few weeks ago) that handles the most difficult content without any issues being kept alive or holding threat. Likewise we've got A DPS who averages 15k on bosses of all kinds (putricide, marrowgar, saurfang, deathwhisper, etc).

Not that ICC is particularly difficult content any more, but if the whole game is easy and any given person can do it then it's hard to make the case that one person is crap and another isn't when they're both making out just fine.

Also, twilight cutters are hilarious.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
