Got bored, tried logging into my account, and wouldn't you know it- My authenticators battery died... I've only had it for 3 1/2 months, how is this possible? O.o

That is strange ... I've had mine for over a year and it's still going strong.

Exactly, my bro has one that he has had since they release them... Still works perfectly fine. Maybe I got a botched one?

I've seen horror stories of people spending weeks trying to get them off accounts, I don't even know if I want to go through with that to sit in Dalaran to stare at my pretty gear >_>

Few generic pet peeves:

- Outline chat if you can't read it remove the huge black box.

I'd just gotten out of a random when I took that, so the bar hadn't faded, the chat is black because the sun glares in my eye when I play during the mornings, so it's black so it doesn't have a glare.

And if so, can an email header be forged ?

EDIT : after checking the official board it appears to be legit, but I can't see the Cata account in my Battle.net, it says to wait 24h in the mail, does it take a long time ?

No the [email protected] isn't a blizzard email I dont think and its usually just added to your account so see if it is in your battle.net account.

Not a pain at all. Unfortunately I'm unsure if the skinner.lua file I've uploaded will indeed give you my Skinner profile / setup. Try extracting the included file to this directory once you've installed the Skinner addon.

As far as the font goes, it's called Emblem, but I forgot where I grabbed it from originally so I've also uploaded it for you. To replace the fonts in WoW, download Malsumis Font Changer and follow the instructions, and use the Emblem font to replace WoW's default fonts. It's pretty easy.

Well if I'm to trust the official boards it's actually a legit blizzard email (in addition, the header shows that the mail came from blizzard servers) but still nothing in Battle.net, I made a post in the official boards for confirmation. Not getting my hopes too high thou :laugh:

Can you post a picture of a window such a character, talents, or the spellbook? As far as not including any textures, I don't use any. My modified Skinner settings rely on nothing but colors / transparency settings.

I got it working, was me being an idiot xP, I didnt change profile xD!.

I decided to change my UI arround a bit. Going to change the Unit Frames to oUF Nivea, Move my Action Bars arround a bit as well as some other things.

Evn, what unit frames / dps meter are you using?

Unit frames are Stuf, I stripped it down to the most minimal configuration i could tolerate.

The Damage meter would be skada, I use it as a threat meter and almost always have the damage/healing meters unloaded. I like it for the threat, fails, and death modules.

Gratz on your orange weapon. I've started collecting shards on my DK, I might be the only person in the game that is getting one without actually wanting it.

Am I the only one sticking to default UI? It's not the classiest piece but it works, never breaks during updates and doesn't require a ton of work / maintenance. :)

The default UI is not very effective when it comes to communicating the information you need to know vs the stuff that is nice to know and the stuff that is completely

irrelevant. Just look at the buff frames: You probably don't care about 'chill of the throne' at all, and you can't really do anything about weakened soul. You probably care

a lot about debuffs like Legion Flame. The stock UI treats all of these debuffs as equally important and doesn't treat them any different from useless information like

the buff from deviate fish. Delaying your ability to respond to changes increases the chance your performance will negatively impact people around you.

The stock UI makes things like the ability to use Runestrike as important the cooldown on Icebound Fortitude or the ability to summon a ghoul.

You also need information about external events.

Is it safe to cast spells on Sindy hard-mode if you have 3 stacks of instability and you're 30 yards away from everyone? You need some way to know

the cooldown on her grip ability to know if you'll risk blowing-up the raid. The difference that knowledge can make is > 200k damage.

Knowing when your target is using (ie: shield wall) is useful for planning your cooldowns. You're probably not going to want to waste a blessing of protection

on a shadow priest with agro but has popped dispersion, you probably would want to use it on a rogue that has agro and hasn't vanished. A good set of raid

frames helps make sorting out this information much easier. You also need to know if you a boss is targeting you because you've pulled agro or if it's just using

a RSTS ability: the stock UI isn't very helpful here an waiting to find out isn't something you always have the ability to do.

Many fights require positioning yourself carefully: ie: running around on Saurfang is less than ideal. Being able to see how far away a mob is, and how quickly

it's moving out of range is useful for planning casts. If a mob is 30 yards away, at 20% health, and moving at standard running speed then you're not going to

want to cast a fireball at it because it'll be out of range before the cast completes. You'll proably scorch/fireblast instead. Even the best players have a hard time

guessing the difference between 25 yards and 30-yards in the middle of combat. A good unit frame will give you this information.

Knowing what you have threat on is more important than knowing that you have threat. On Lich King have I over DPS'd a raging spirit and it's going to

wipe the raid, or have I just got some healing agro on vile spirits and I can safely ignore the agro warning. You'll want a good multi-target and single-target

threat meter to manage your agro. I like Tidyplates + Skada for this but there are alternatives to suit any playstyle.

Even "simple" things are annoying with the default UI. "Hey check out this youtube video for how we should do <X>" is annoying without copy/paste.

May god have mercy on anybody trying to play a paladin in a raid without PalyPower, or any healing class without something like Grid. The default UI completely

inadequate for them.

Acutally, I know quite a few people that don't use Grid or Healbot for healing, and they are quite good at it. They use macros to extend the "basic" functionality of the standard UI.

I, myself, didn't use Pally Power for a while because I didn't want the clutter on my screen.

Was I able to function in a raid? Definitely.

Does it make it easier using PallyPower? yes, but I still am not too fond of the clutter.

The point is, the standard UI was put there for a reason. It is designed to give the basic information needed to do what you want. They gave it the option to be extended for a reason. If you want more information, simply install an addon that gives that information to you. But to say that it is completely useless is a stretch.

Acutally, I know quite a few people that don't use Grid or Healbot for healing, and they are quite good at it. They use macros to extend the "basic" functionality of the standard UI.

I'm sure you can do it, especially now that the game is a huge joke, but on any challenging content I think it's far less than optimal.

For a simple example: how does a group coordinate external cooldowns on your shambling horror tanks using stock raid frames?

I imagine you could do it on vent or with /s but the lag introduced means you could have say half-a-second where your tank has 2 enraged shambling and no cooldowns. Given that these mobs can one-shot a tank with full best-in-slot gear and the 30% ICC buff it's not good strategy to hope you get lucky.

The point is, the standard UI was put there for a reason. It is designed to give the basic information needed to do what you want. They gave it the option to be extended for a reason. If you want more information, simply install an addon that gives that information to you. But to say that it is completely useless is a stretch.

Nobody said it was useless, but I have argued it's less than ideal. There is simply no substitute for information about the environment and the stock UI provides much less than what is made available by various addons. Prioritizing information is also very important and the stock UI offers almost no functionality to filter out 'noise' or to highlight 'signal' which makes decision making more error prone. The stock UI also presents useful information in ways that are difficult or impossible to interpret in combat.

I tried to offer examples where the stock UI is deficient and how addons can address those shortcomings and allow players to make more informed decisions (and hopefully perform better as a result).

    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Sadly "beats Steam Machine" isn't much of a brag.
    • An oversimplified explanations of Passkeys

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Passkeys: Think of them like a broken heart necklace. Imagine one of those heart necklaces that breaks into two matching pieces. One person keeps one half, and the other person keeps the other half. With passkeys, the website has one half, and you have the other half. If the website gets hacked and someone steals its half, that stolen piece is useless by itself. It cannot unlock your account without your matching half. This particular heart necklace is one of a kind, there is only one in existence. Your half of the necklace has to be stored somewhere. It might be stored on your phone, tablet, computer, security key, or a password manager that can sync it between all your devices. A security key is a small physical device that you keep with you, kind of like a house key, car key, or flash drive. I would not usually recommend a security key as the first option for the average person. For most people, it is easier to use their phone, computer, or a password manager that can sync passkeys between their devices. A security key is more like a spare key you keep in a safe place, just in case you lose access to your other devices or your password manager. Some security keys plug into your computer. Some plug into your phone or tablet. Some get tapped against your device. The idea is simple: a security key can hold another passkey for the same website. Think of it like creating a second one-of-a-kind heart necklace for the same account. One necklace could be paired with your password manager, while another necklace could be paired with your security key. That means the website has more than one matching half on file. One half matches the passkey in your password manager. Another half matches the passkey stored on your security key. So, if you lose access to your phone, computer, or password manager, you would still be able to log in using the passkey stored on your security key. Think of it like keeping an extra special necklace piece on a tiny keychain, stored somewhere safe. The website still has the matching half for that security key, but your half is safely stored inside the little key. A passkey does not automatically exist on every device you own. It lives wherever you save it. If your half is stored on one device, then that device is the one that has the matching piece. For example, if you create the passkey on your Windows computer and it is only saved to that computer, your iPhone does not automatically have that same half. If you create it on your iPhone and it only stays on that iPhone, your Android phone does not automatically have it either. That is where password managers come in. A password manager can act like a protected jewelry box for your passkeys. Instead of your half of the necklace being locked to only one device, the password manager can securely sync that half to your other approved devices. For example, Apple Passwords and iCloud Keychain can sync passkeys between your Apple devices. Google Password Manager can sync passkeys with your Google account. But password managers such as 1Password and Bitwarden can sync passkeys between everything, your phones, tablets and computers. Now, you might ask: “What happens if I lose access to the device that has my passkey?” That depends on where your passkey was saved and what recovery options the website gives you. If your passkey was synced through a password manager, you may be able to sign in from another device that has access to that same password manager. For example, if your passkey is saved in iCloud Keychain, Google Password Manager, 1Password, or Bitwarden, another approved device may still have access to it. If your passkey was saved only on one phone, computer, or security key, and you lose that device, then you may not have your half of the necklace anymore. In that case, you would usually need to use the website’s backup login or account recovery options. A lot of websites that support passkeys still let you fall back to your regular password. So if you lose access to your passkey, the site may still let you log in with your password, a code sent to your email, a text message, a recovery code, or some other account recovery process. That is convenient, but it is also important to understand: if the website still allows password login, then your password still matters. Passkeys are safer than passwords, but if your account still has a password as a backup, you should still use a strong, unique password and turn on two-factor authentication if the website offers it. This is why it is a good idea to have more than one safe way back into important accounts. For example, you might keep your passkey in a syncing password manager, add a second trusted device, save recovery codes somewhere safe, or set up a backup security key. A passkey is very secure, but just like a real key, you need a backup plan in case you lose access to it. Now, you might ask: “What stops a hacker from copying my half of the necklace?” That’s the important part: your half is protected. It is not something you type in, and it is not something the website gets to keep. Think of your half as being locked inside a tiny safe on your phone, computer, security key, or password manager. That safe only opens when you approve it with your fingerprint, face, PIN, or device password. When you log in, the website does not need to see your half. It only needs proof that your half matches its half. Your actual half is not handed over to the website. This is different from a password. With a password, you type the secret into the website. If you type it into a fake website, the hacker now has it. With a passkey, you are not typing your secret into the website. Your device is proving you have the matching half without giving the half away. That also helps protect you from fake websites. If someone makes a fake login page that looks like the real site, your device can tell it is not the real match. It will not use your passkey there. Now, could someone use your passkey if they stole your device, got into your password manager, or somehow unlocked the safe that holds your half? Yes, that is why your device password, PIN, fingerprint, face unlock, and password manager security still matter. But a hacker cannot just steal your passkey from the website or trick you into typing it into a fake page like they can with a password. That is why passkeys are safer than passwords. The two matching pieces have to come together, like two lovebirds who were once separated and are finally reunited.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I heard from a lot of people that driver support for the latest games when RDNA first came out (Radeon 5000 series) was pretty bad, but if you didn't buy the card on day one, or were not trying to play the latest titles, then you were isolated from that issue. Other than that, it's been good and only getting better.
    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
