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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. There are no new features, but Microsoft is officially moving the Experimental Channel to version 26H2. In addition, Microsoft is improving the copy dialog in File Explorer, the Start menu reliability, and fixing virtualization issues. Here is the changelog: [General] With today’s build, Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel will see the versioning updated under Settings > System > About (and winver) to version 26H2. For more information, see the Windows Insiders blog. [File Explorer] We’ve improved the visual consistency and reliability of the Copy dialog in Dark mode, including its launch experience and the expanded progress view. [Start menu] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Start menu reflecting newly installed or removed apps without requiring sign-out or restart. [Taskbar] Fixed an issue for Insiders using the new smaller taskbar option, where the system tray might get cut off or pushed off screen. [Settings] - Also available in Beta Improved reliability of Settings > Apps > Startup. [Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
