The http source on the torrent tracker used to be really fast, which meant decent speeds. Now It's just overloaded and slow as hell, sometimes it doesn't even seem to connect.

It turns out that they're not 'overloaded', they're just throttling the connection.

So soon? you think?

I'm guessing with all the changes they're making and how much everyone rages even for minor things that they'll want the system changes as far away from the expansion release as possible. It's going to take a bit for everyone live-side to get used to the new talent trees and gear stat changes.

That and I can't recall them ever pushing two stages of a patch within a week. :)

I've been on the PTR and still haven't been able to get on long enough to test anything as it took a week to get our 80's over then they wiped them and cleared the data, Transfer's only started working again today so when I get home will be the first time in the 2 weeks I've been able to get on and do anything. That's the only reason I didn't think they were close enough to releasing it as I didn't think they had much testing done.

The PTR builds are branched milestones. They're often behind internal development as they go through internal QA to make sure they at least work for public testing. Last week's test realm had serious issues with professions for copied characters but I'm sure they've fixed that... I think they usually leave the PTR up for a few weeks after its respective build goes live.

Well that sucks, I only downloaded the full 16 gig again last night

Don't toss it quite yet. I could be way off in my prediction. biggrin.gif

My WoW folder is 16.6 gigs excluding all the folders except Data, so I'm guessing the 4.0 patch won't be too big since the PTR doesn't data doesn't seem include the Cacaclysm assets.

Here is a Hilarious Beta Blooper for you if you are interested. Some guy tries to test the new Worgen "running wild" spell, However instead of leveling one to 20 he takes a 80 and changes it race to worgan where hilarity ensues as he cannot turn into a worgen just check it out its Hilarious.

I haven't, just been playing a lot of Starcraft recently, still playing her sometimes though. Was hoping for loremaster before this patch hit but cant be bothered with my last 100 quests :p

Dayum, everyone seems to either stop playing or do other stuff, I seem like the "lone warrior" lol Haven't seen much of kaii either :( .

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
