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

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.

    • 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

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
