The intro video was much better than the others mainly because you are able to point out where each of locations are specifically whereas with the previous intros were random locations that were difficult to pin down.

The intro wasnt all that... expected a lot more from it but then again im not easily pleased, has to be something really really impressive.

+1 - I thought it was guff, I know Cataclysm is all about Deathwing but damn, I just expected more

I wanted to see the Worgen in the scene. :(

Yea, I wanted to see more than just DW

Eh screw the worgen and knobgoblins. Deathwing is where its at, he made his case eloquently proceeded to tour the place and then decided to drop in on stormwind for the horde! Bring on the cataclysm and the coming of the worldbreaker :D

Cut scene was cool, but would be great if Blizzard would fix the issues with the Hallowed End events. Game freeze issues with the cogwheel icon (ie: game freezes and you have to end task and relog).

No ETA to fix so if you hover over the pumpkin in HH event, you may freeze up.

Not happy at the moment.

Cogwheel Crash Fix!

The problem is tooltips. Disable tooltips and the crashes go away! This fixed the problem for me, thankfully!

You need two macros, one to turn the tooltips off, the other to turn them back on.

Turn Tooltips off:

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end;  GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);

Turn Tooltips on:

/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

Source

Turn tooltips off when you know you'll be near a cog and all should be fine. I've been suffering these crashes since the day 4.0.1 went live (the Oculus was impossible!) - these macros work for me until Blizzard fix it properly.

The cinematic looks neat, but seriously... a giant dragon all but destroys the world and shortly thereafter is killed by a group of 10 or 25 people? :p

When the undisputed leader of a zombie army showed up: I was there to send him packing (Tirron's 10% Dues Ex moment not withstanding).

When Archimonde was sent to destroy the world tree (and the world with it): my and my army held him back.

When the Supreme Commander of the Burning Legion showed up: I was there to play border guard.

When it comes to dragons I've got a pretty good resume too: Both of deathwings kids, Kalecgos, Malygos, Vael'straz, Lethon, Ysondre?

no problem. The old gods that drove Deathwing mad in the first place? I kill those on a whim.

Yeah, on the internet, I'm kind of a big deal and I'm pretty much the best choice for this task.

Are you really going to complain about realism in a game where you can store 30 horses in a backpack, death is a 2 minute inconvenience,

and gnomes turn orcs into sheep?

Didn't appear Omnitron Defense System was doing full damage, but fight looks fun. I can already see 3/4 of my server not being able to do that fight. Halfus is Cata Patchwerk I guess. Granted both fights it's first non-internal (if Blizz does those anymore) test, but ODS looks like it'll be alot of fun/challenging. And Halfus just looks like a gearcheck (we need 'em though). Can't wait to see other fights.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      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.
