Got in and played right after the servers opened. Tried out a bunch of the changes and so far I am getting used to them.

One thing that I noticed is the daily heroics from the dungeon finder no longer award anything other than gold.

From the official 4.0.1 Known Issues:

Dungeon Finder doesn't mention the Justice Point reward in Random Lich King Dungeon or Random Lich King Heroic.

I read that as you do receive a reward, but the dungeon finder doesn't (yet) tell you about it.

For me to fully download and install the patch, I had to completely uninstall my Comodo firewall software, when trying to actually update it was giving me an error "Updater Connection Timeout", I even tried to update WOW in SafeMode + Networking but I had the same results. So I uninstalled my Firewall and it finally started to install. I "briefly" checked it out this morning but did not see much that was different with the Graphics which I heard they were going to make some changes? I noticed the new tree and I have to still play with that though which probably won't be till this Weekend (Damn School and Work!, lol) so hopefully I will be able to play with it more here soon.

Anyone got a working buff addon? I know Cata API screwed up Buffalo and I don't like Elk, so anyone got one? Probably too early, but meh.

I personally use Elk, but looking at Buffalo on Curse, it doesn't seem like it's going to be updated. It's been over a year since the last update.

Buffalo worked fine with everything, then the guy did Buffalo3, which just sucked. It's the API changed buffs up, so even Elk should be having problems. Wondering if anyone else found a replacement for buffs/debuffs.

I just like my UI a certain way. Any other way I can't stand playing, just need to fix teh Buffs and figure out why I can't get 'Show enemy nameplates' working either.

As far as showing enemy nameplates, does just pressing 'V' not work?

No. Not working for me. Disabled all addon's still not working. Few people in trade also mentioned problem.

And now it's working. I hate new patches.

Enemy Nameplates missing

Sorry for the late response. We are aware of this and looking into a fix. This can't be hotfixed, so a client side fix would have to be used for this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/27188062976/bug-enemy-nameplates/

Seems there is an issue. I got plates to show up with Tidyplates.

First impressions (which are unfair due to addons not working and when I enable them, I get major lag):

Hunter: omfg what's my rotation?!

Druid (tank): OMFG swipe has a 6 sec CD?! What do I do?! What's my rotation!?

I second the hunter OMFG whats my rotation. Working with BM(since dual spec is so cheap) to grab sprit beast. have Gondroia so far.

Tried just deleting your Cache folder? Sounds similar to a problem I had multiple times on the PTR after patches, and clearing the cache always fixed it.

ok, I have tried:

resetting to defaults, deleting my addons and wtf folder, deleting cache, repairing, uninstalling my antivirus and firewall, grabbing my girl's copy from her computer (which works for her), uninstalling and re-installing from their new client download, updating all my drivers, updating directx, nothing worked. At the suggestion of my girlfriend I tried logging in on her computer (again, she can log in on hers). I can log in! Wait, I only have 3 characters out of 10? Click on one to log in, pregression bar goes across the screen and to max as per ususal, and then sits there doing nothing. Go to task manager which says wow is not responding. Doesn't matter which of those 3 characters I select the same thing happens. I get my girl to log in to one of her characters again, and sure enough, it still works for her. I get her to log onto my machine, and it crashes on login just like it does for me.

This is a HUGELY flawed patch and I'm getting annoyed at the blue's responses of "your antivirus is the issue" "your firewall is the issue" "re-download the entire game and re-install that". None of that is the answer and they're just looking for scapegoats.

My Real ID status has been "Shadow word death needs nerfed" for the last day.

It's not so much that the DPS is too high, but that priests can't be trusted with it.

Their characterization of "Priest DPS too high, mostly because of SW:D spam and

that's hard on healers" is perfectly accurate. IMO regular damage is a bit obscene

too (ie: I'm averaging 8.5k DPS over 10 minutes with 0 mana debt, unbuffed, not

in shadow form, on skull level targets using nothing but mind-flay and shadow fiend).

When you toss up dots and start playing like a non-retard you easily hit around 13k

for an indefinite period of time. When a target gets to 25% you can ~double your

DPS provided a healer keeps you from getting insta-killed. Pain supression is probably

a better DPS cooldown than Power Infusion at this point.

My most recent death was a quick run through HoR: friend's 277 geared prot pladin,

frost DK, resto shaman, and pug fire mage + me. I've had threat issues all night but

we make it to the last boss.

VT, DP, SW:P, SF, mindflay x2 --> pull threat -> fade. Keep DPS going (around 16k)

Boss hits 25%, fade drops off, boss casts overlord's brand on me, I gain agro,

Boss starts making his way towards me.

T-1.2s Shadow word death crit: 26k

T-0.2s Shadow word death crit: 24k

T-0.2s Backlash hits me: 8.5k

T-0.1s Backlash hits me: 9k

T-0.1s Overlord's brand hits me: 8k

T-0.1s Overlord's brand hits me 6.5k

T-0.0s I die.

My mage is pulling 7k DPS in heroics wearing nothing better than Level 60 dungeon gear

which was on par with a full 277 + shadowmourn frost DK.

    • The quantum search for Time's origin had an equally mind-boggling conclusion by Sayan Sen Image by Steve Johnson via Pexels A theoretical study from researchers at the University of Surrey suggested that the direction of time may not be fundamentally fixed in certain quantum systems. The work, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the “arrow of time” could emerge from microscopic physics and found that time-reversal symmetry can remain intact even in models used to describe processes such as energy loss and thermalisation. The arrow of time refers to the observed one-way direction from past to future in everyday life. In macroscopic processes, this is easy to see. Spilled milk spreads across a table and does not gather back into a glass, and heat flows from hotter objects to colder ones. These processes shape the common sense idea that time moves in a single direction. However, at the level of fundamental physics, many equations do not prefer a direction of time. Time-reversal symmetry means that the same physical laws can describe a system whether time moves forward or backward. This has made it difficult to explain why irreversible behaviour appears in the large-scale world even when the underlying rules do not require it. Dr Andrea Rocco, Associate Professor in Physics and Mathematical Biology at the University of Surrey, described this contrast: "One way to explain this is when you look at a process like spilt milk spreading across a table, it's clear that time is moving forward. But if you were to play that in reverse, like a movie, you'd immediately know something was wrong – it would be hard to believe milk could just gather back into a glass. However, there are processes, such as the motion of a pendulum, that look just as believable in reverse. The puzzle is that, at the most fundamental level, the laws of physics resemble the pendulum; they do not account for irreversible processes. Our findings suggest that while our common experience tells us that time only moves one way, we are just unaware that the opposite direction would have been equally possible." The study focused on open quantum systems, which are quantum systems that interact with a surrounding environment. This environment, often described as a heat bath, can exchange energy and information with the system. The researchers used this framework to study how a direction of time might appear even when the underlying physics does not enforce one. A key part of the analysis involved the Markov approximation. This is a simplification used in many models where the system is assumed not to retain memory of its past states. The idea is that changes depend only on the current state, not on earlier history. This is commonly used when studying thermalisation, which is the process where a system settles into equilibrium with its environment. The study also used concepts such as master equations, including the Lindblad and Pauli equations, which describe how probabilities of different quantum states change over time. Another related model discussed was quantum Brownian motion, which describes the random-like movement of a quantum particle interacting continuously with its environment. In these descriptions, a “memory kernel” can appear, which is a mathematical term that accounts for how past states influence current behaviour. The researchers found that applying the Markov approximation did not break time-reversal symmetry. Even when the system interacted with an effectively infinite heat bath, the resulting equations of motion remained symmetric in time. This meant that the same mathematical description could, in principle, run forward or backward in time without contradiction. The study further showed that standard frameworks used in open quantum systems, including quantum Brownian motion and master equations like the Lindblad and Pauli forms, could be written in a time-symmetric way. These equations are typically used to describe processes that look irreversible, such as dissipation and thermalisation, but the results suggested they can also be interpreted as allowing evolution in both time directions. Thomas Guff, Research Fellow in Quantum Thermodynamics, said: "The surprising part of this project was that even after making the standard simplifying assumption to our equations describing open quantum systems, the equations still behaved the same way whether the system was moving forwards or backwards in time. When we carefully worked through the maths, we found that this behaviour had to be the case because a key part of the equation, the "memory kernel," is symmetrical in time. We also found a small but important detail which is usually overlooked – a time discontinuous factor emerged that kept the time-symmetry property intact. It’s unusual to see such a mathematical mechanism in a physics equation because it's not continuous, and it was very surprising to see it appear so naturally." The researchers also noted that deriving a one-way arrow of time from time-reversal symmetric microscopic dynamics remains an open problem across fields such as thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, particle physics, and cosmology. Their results suggested that some standard descriptions of irreversible behaviour in open quantum systems may be better understood using a time-symmetric formulation of Markovianity. According to the study, processes such as thermalisation, which are usually treated as irreversible, could in theory be described in a way that allows evolution in either time direction under the same rules. This does not imply that time reversal occurs in everyday life, but rather that the underlying equations do not strictly enforce a single direction. Overall, the findings suggested that the perceived direction of time may emerge from how physical systems are modelled and approximated, rather than from a fundamental asymmetry in the laws themselves. The researchers noted that this perspective could have implications for ongoing work in quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology on the origin of time’s arrow.
