Just wondered, to anybody in the BETA at the moment. Has anybody had the chance to do the alliance quest chain in the Western Plaguelands to do with Andorhal. Apparently the Horde get to retake it and see some tasty banshee-queen lore, and I was wondering if there is an alliance counterpart, and we also get to take it back as from what I have seen pre-phase it's a third Alliance, a third Horde and a third Scourge. Also is Chromie still there, as I will NOT miss the quest to kill temporal maggots.

You know when you login to WoW and you discover it's your lucky day ? awesome randoms, terrific loot, making new friends, finishing that hard quest you were trying for days ? Well it happened to me yesterday, and I thought "what the hell, i'm gonna push my luck and see if I got in the Cata Beta", so I logged in to battle.net and ... nope, no beta for me :'(

That was my useless post of the day.

Blizzard doesn't love you that much. :p

I've used Bagnon for a long time now, it doesn't actually sort by type does it? You can only search by the item(s) names.

As far as I know of.. there is no way how to sort by pvp / pve gear. It's just "armor" to the game.

The only thing that differentiates it is the stats, and therefore the game can't "separate" it even with user add-ons unless it's an add-on that specifies the type of armor PER class, PER armor type.

And that's a lot of coding and time.

You sure said that

And I hate to smack you in your face but Activision has NOTHING to do with Blizzard. They are a distribution company. That's it. They are wholy separate entities than Blizzard. The only reason in a conjoined merger is because it's beneficial to both companies to have resources between the companies that they can share and utilize. Ideas wise, Blizzard is Blizzard and Activision is Activison. Pull your head out of the clouds and realize that ALL Warcraft information, etc are retained by Blizzard. Activision has no rights whatsoever to the properties. They have as much right to the franchise, it's story, and it's lore as you, or I.

And if you're so upset about the Worgen, name another race of things that the Alliance can get from either the First or Second War.. hell I'll be so generous as to say the Third war, even though WoW is set somewhere in the middle of Warcraft 2 and 3. I'll be waiting as you really can't name one other than the Pandaren.

A forewarning though: Please don't play with people who read Lore daily, and have been praised by blue posters for their knowledge about it, you will be stomped on and embarrassed.

Blizzard and Activison are one. They merged. http://en.wikipedia....vision_Blizzard

Blizzard merged with Vivendi Universal Games, which was then bought out by Activision, taking Blizzard in the deal.

Any bag addon that sorts or lets you search your bags / bank by PvE and or PvP gear?

BankStack. Love it. It sorts bags, bank, and guild bank tabs. :) If you use Combuctor (the Bagnon author's other bag addon) you can get an extra tab addon for it that will show you only gear you have in a set. That's about as close as you can get AFAIK.

He's well aware of this fact, he mentioned it in his post.

Activision aren't above Blizzard, they merged, hence they're equal in their say. So Blizzard is still running things in WoW, not Activision - at least game-wise, not talking about administrative management, like oh say, firing people.

http://www.activisio...corp/index.html

July 10, 2008 -- Paris, France and Santa Monica, CA - Vivendi (Euronext Paris: VIV) and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today announced the completion of the transaction announced on December 2, 2007 to create Activision Blizzard, as the world's most profitable pure-play online and console game publisher. Activision Blizzard was formed by combining Activision, one of the world's leading independent publishers of interactive entertainment, and Vivendi Games, Vivendi's interactive entertainment business, which includes Blizzard Entertainment's® World of Warcraft®, the world's #1 subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Activision Blizzard will continue to operate as a public company traded on Nasdaq under the ticker ATVI.

Activision and Blizzard still operate as separate entities. Activision Blizzard doesn't actually publish anything. They're the holding company. (I'm agreeing.)

On topic: Ding on my 5th 80 cow. :D

It's pretty much one single stat - Resilience. If it's got it it's pvp, if it doesn't then it's pve or vendor spec.

Pretty much, if someone wants to, they could also manually code which names/armors are considerer PVP and whatnot, and there are plenty of people around that would do something like that if they felt like it. :p

Yeah I know that, because I'm a player, but, a mod can't tell if a piece of armor has resilience or not.

That's the point I was trying to make.

He was looking for a mod to filter between PVP and PVE gear, and I said there is no mod that can differentiate between the two because of the way the game sees gear.. it just sees it as "gear" as a whole.

Make sense?

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature"

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.

      "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.

    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      By termite · Posted

      If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
