I've been denied from weekly runs of Patchwerk because I didn't have 6k GS. I did Naxx still with 2xt5 and a bunch of blues/70 epics.

Because GS is bullsh*t, and any good player knows that. Sadly, GS is a way, in addition to achievements, sort through inexperience TO AN EXTENT, though that raid leader had to be a dumb@$$ to not lower their requirement(s) for the tier of the raid you were forming for...6k GS for Naxx? lulz

Wow I haven't played this game in a while. I only have like 3k gold in the bank, trying to get the Battered Hilt to drop or buy it since I don't have time to play a ton anymore.

I am just playing very casually from now on until Cataclysm comes out because nothing you do now except get gold will really matter once the expansion comes out. Unless you count achievements.

Sad to think, by halfway through the first new leveling zone all the gear we've grinded for so hard will be meaningless. :(

And by hard, I mean lazily moving to the left or right slightly in pretty much every boss encounter in ICC and clearing it all in under 2 hours Tuesday night, then wasting away the week because no one logs on for heroics.

Gear was never valuable: the fun that you had collecting it with friends is what matters. The only thing I liked about having Tier 2 and

3, or TIer 6/6.5 to level with is that I didn't have to use the "mandatory leveling clown suit" that less progressed players get handed.

My gear looks pretty cool but I'm not going to miss it at all when I start to replace it.

And by hard, I mean lazily moving to the left or right slightly in pretty much every boss encounter in ICC and clearing it all in under 2 hours Tuesday night, then wasting away the week because no one logs on for heroics.

Have you got RS25h and LK25h yet? Sure the first 11 in ICC 25 are a joke now, even on hard mode but the two last encounters are pretty fun.

If you can't get people to log in for hard mode attempts just start by blowing your first day on an extended raid lock out and working on them.

Move "Free loot tuesday" to wednesday.

I wouldnt bother getting the battered hilt. People pug TOC everyday, I'm sure you can get a weapon from there and save the 10K gold.

It sucks being on a lesser populated server, we've pretty much siphoned all the talent pool we can.

Extending it just makes them never log in, we've even tried tricking them-but it just causes them to log in, then magically lose all internet access 5 minutes into the raid night. Wed has pretty much just become our alt 10M H night, because no one likes licking 25M LK Hs taint apparently.

We've even started selling runs to lesser guilds that still need Kingslayers, just because our own can't get their **** together and just log in and bite the bullet.

I'm trying to rally the troops (as it were) for the last of the "hard" achievements. Dedicated Insanity, Herald, and Immortality.

I think the last of those would be the most impressive as less than 10 guilds world-wide have it today and hardly anybody is motivated to try.

Hey guys I used zomgbuffs for my Paladin, but what should I use for my Druid for auto-buff casting (self/group)?

zomgbuffs said it works for other classes but for some reason I can't get self buffs working with my Druid.

Thanks

I know it's annoying, but what are the addons at the bottom of your screen? The frames, button bars, chat and some sort of general status that goes across the screen?

My own customization of tukui - http://www.tukui.org/

V11 is going to be more user friendly as you can see on the main page, quite a bit of manual user editing of files just now.

Bit busy just now but I'll list all the additional addons I use a bit later and probably throw my user directory up in a rar file if you want my settings.

That'd be great. I've seen those frames before just never knew what they were called.

Incredibly lazy of Blizzard to change the caster skins for Druid but not the animations (using maul/etc)..... That's the kind of things you don't pay money for a month.

A WTF moment indeed, there's no end to complaints..

I don't know how long were you a Druid, but many of us were extremely happy with the new form skins, we didn't ask for much, now you want new animations ?

It's not lazy, it's redundant, why would they change something that works ?

You make it sound like you're disappointed by this, when you should be happy with what we got, how many years did they ignore our pleas ? Let's not be greedy here xD

We're not looking for a DK at the moment but the standard fair "exceptional players always welcome" applies. We have two regular DKs and one trialing as DW frost whom I expect will be accepted. If you've got gear on par with Fainn you'd probably be able to find a spot as a backup but a full time spot probably isn't open right now (we're casual but consistent so relatively few open raider spots).

If you've moved on from "We're crappy healers, worthless DPS, free kills in PVP, and only useful on one fight as a tank (soaking hatefuls on patchwerk at 60)" to "we should look even more cool when we're smacking things" then I think you've made out just fine.

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good by Usama Jawad I have been using Windows since the early 2000s, when I was around 10 years old or so. I vaguely remember playing around with Windows 98 and Windows 2000, but that may have been on school PCs which had old operating systems installed. My main OS on the home PC, and the one I recall spending most time with, was Windows XP. At that time, I used the home PC to create Word and PowerPoint documents for school, but a lot of the time, I simply used it to play games. My dad would bring game discs which we would try and install on the PC, sometimes unsuccessfully, and sometimes, we would rely on flash games in the browser, like Bubble Trouble on Miniclip. However, the problem with the latter approach was the internet speed. On a good day, our dial-up internet would offer us speeds of 56 kbps, but on most days, it was closer to 33 kbps. This did not facilitate online gaming as I would often have to wait minutes for a game to load or "draw" on the screen, and trying to download pirated games wasn't simple either. I remember getting tired of waiting for online games to load and just downloading simulator games from the Big Fish Games website instead, only to be disappointed after finding out that I was just being given access to trial versions of the title, and I needed to fork out money to pay for the full version. All of this is to say that it wasn't very easy to find entertainment options on the home PC when I was a kid, due to a number of reasons, mostly outside of my control. This situation pushed me towards a rather unconventional ally: Microsoft Paint. Whenever the internet wasn't working as good as I expected, I would simply spin up Paint and draw complete rubbish on the canvas. Of course, that wasn't always the intention, but it usually happened when I messed up drawing a straight line or something, and then I would give up on that particular piece and simply draw a random collection of objects. Microsoft Paint was extremely accessible and easy to use. Even if you weren't an artist, you could quickly understand the tools at your disposal and how to leverage them on a canvas. The absolute breadth on offer ensured that each painting was truly unique, as you could utilize various combinations of tools like the pencil, paint, spray paint, and more to truly personalize your creation. Since I wasn't particularly good at drawing both on digital screen or a physical screen, I remember that my main style of art would be to insert a bunch of randomly intersecting lines and then fill them with random colors through the paint can. I have trying to replicate that art style in the latest version of Paint below, and as you can see, it's truly Pablo Picasso-esque. The human imagination truly knows no bounds Microsoft Paint kept me occupied for hours and was my best friend when video games on the home PC were inaccessible for one reason or the other. There was no academic or professional reason for which I would need to use Paint, but I still loved using it in my personal time, even if what I created wasn't worth being shown to anyone. It was simply fun. Fast-forward to today, and the situation is mostly the same. Now that I am almost 29 years old, and I still have no reason to use Microsoft Paint in a professional capacity. In fact, I don't even use it in a personal capacity, except to dabble with it from time to time, just to see if core functionalities are still intact. And I'm happy to say that I think Microsoft Paint still offers the same accessibility and inviting experience that it did to me a couple of decades ago, even though its UX has been refreshed and it's been integrated with Copilot features. Interestingly, things could have been a lot different, had Microsoft had its way. Microsoft Paint was marked for deprecation with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update in 2017, and even began displaying a product retirement alert, urging customers to shift to Paint 3D instead. Fortunately, after consumer backlash, Microsoft reversed course on this decision, and Paint continues to be a native app inside Windows installations that can also be updated quite frequently through the Microsoft Store. Instead, Paint 3D ended up on the chopping block, which is for the better, I think. I have intermittently played around with Microsoft's refreshed Paint experience in the past few years, and I do think it has received worthwhile upgrades. the UI and the UX has been modernized while retaining core functionality, and the app is still fairly easy to use. It doesn't meet any of my use-cases, but I've never really had any use-cases ever, as described previously. Of course, the elephant in the room is the Copilot integration. Personally, I believe that this is one place where Copilot does make sense, environmental concerns aside. I know that a lot of creatives use AI to generate images, and while some may be using professional alternatives, Paint still offers a decent casual experience, with the power of Copilot. Of course, you do need to have a valid Microsoft 365 Copilot license and available credits to use it, but even if you don't, you still get the big Copilot button in the toolbar, unfortunately. All in all, I am glad that Microsoft Paint continues to be a native feature in Windows 11, and a piece of software that has evolved to meet modern needs without cutting off its own roots. It's just an iconic piece of Windows history that was an essential part of my childhood, and while I don't use it anymore, I'm just glad it is still there.
    • 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD drops to its lowest price in over three months

      2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD drops to its lowest price in over three months by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the 2TB WD_Black SN7100 internal solid-state drive at its lowest price in over three months, so you may want to check it out, if you have been considering a storage upgrade, before the deal dries up (purchase link is toward the end of the article). Featuring a PCIe Gen 4.0 interface and M.2 2280 form factor, the SN7100 promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 7,250MB/s and sequential write speeds reaching 6,900MB/s, offering as much as a 35% improvement in performance compared with the previous generation. It also achieves random read speeds of 1,000,000 IOPS and random write speeds of 1,400,000 IOPS. The drive uses Western Digital’s TLC 3D NAND technology for reliable performance and is further supported by a five-year limited warranty. It also offers strong endurance, rated at up to 1,200TBW, making it suitable for demanding workloads such as gaming, content creation, and high-speed recording. Moreover, its DRAM-less architecture claims to improve power efficiency (the SSD relies on system memory for caching via HMB), while the WD_Black Dashboard software enables users to monitor drive health, install firmware updates, and activate Game Mode for potentially better performance. Finally, it operates within an operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C, and can withstand storage temperatures from -40°C to 85°C. 2TB WD_Black SN7100 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD: $242.96 (Amazon US) Check this deal out if you want a 4TB option.

      It IS confusing! What channel are you in on each device? I'm guessing your 16GB device is on Experimental (formerly known as Dev) and your 128GB is on Beta.
