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.

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.

Yes they do you will receive 23 Justice Points for completing it.

# Lich King Heroic dungeon boss -- 16 Justice Points

# Lich King daily normal dungeon -- 12 Justice Points

# Lich King daily Heroic dungeon -- 23 Justice Points

# Lich King raid boss -- 23 Justice Points

# Cataclysm Heroic dungeon boss -- 75 Justice Points

# Cataclysm daily normal dungeon -- 75 Justice Points

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 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
