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.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
