What server and faction do you play in evn.?

Mostly I spend my time on shadowmoon (us). I bounce back and forth between factions.

I have a human paladin and undead priest + mage. My priest is going either goblin or gnome we just

haven't decided what faction we want to play on for this expansion (I'm pushing for alliance).

My mage is in queue to become a gnome, my paladin is in queue to become a tauren. I'm just waiting

for the servers to come up.

I also have a bloodelf DK but it gets played exclusively to tank our Saturday alt run. As soon as Dec 7

roles around and I'm not indebted to 24 people that fed me shadowmourn shards I'll be parking it forever.

DKs aren't fun and haven't been for months.

Questing while in que for dungeon finder is by far the fastest way to level

Yeah I agree. I started playing my Hunter that was about lvl 18 a week ago, I'm now on 66.

Quest and do random dungeons. Plus I have 2 pieces of gear that give me another 20%.

Now says 5:00PM PST. Good, I gotta go to work. I hope the queue won't be too long when they come back up. I re-subbed just to see the shattering :p.

The last time i saw a server queue was when BC launched :p our server has a low population

i went to the midnight launch party thing at my local eb games and updated in time to get in the game within minutes of midnight and had no queues on my server.

although the server was like only a month old at the time.

although now dungeon finder queues with 2 dps takes only like 5-10 minutes(well it seemed pretty fast anyway)

I have Dungeon Finder queues of around 15 minutes as a DPS and as fast as i can click as a tank or healer however never see a queue to log into the server.

So no one is going to hunt down Deathwing

He will spawn in random zones, at random times, and it might be weeks before you see him, also you CANNOT target him from the ground due to his height. Being that we cannot fly until Cataclysm you wont be able to attack him and if you could he would insta kill you anyway as that is what he is meant to do if you are in the zone he is in you will die. Period. (and get an achievement.)

I have the exact same results on our server. 1 Mage, 1 Feral (Cat) druid and our queues are 5-10 mins max

So I was alliance. Did loremaster. Faction changed to horde and kept Loremaster. Patch comes I still have loremaster, but (by my reckoning) since I never did the actual horde quests for each zone, I gotta go do 'em all again (even though I have loremaster which says I did do 'em). This blows.

More gold

It should have been downloaded in the background. 4.0.3a is only a small patch, most of what is needed for the shattering was downloaded in 4.0.1. This is just a switch to turn on all the changes :)

Ive just loaded the client at work and it's downloaded :)

I was really hoping they would sneak in some updated models for the vanilla races. They look so dated now. Maybe they still will with Cataclysm, but I kind of doubt it, since 4.0.3a is (almost) everything Cataclysm is without the new content. Still going to cross my fingers for it though :p

wow dual spec only 10g! woohoo! bought some cool glyphs and then still had a bunch of money left so i bought 3 frostweave bags so i have 4 20 slots bags now :D(had a primal mooncloth bag from tbc already). back down tot 150g from 450g and now to hit 80(hit 79 tonight :D) and farm some more goldzorz!

actually got out dpsed by my bro on his dsic priest in a dungeon tonight, but there was a hunter with top epics in there intagibbing everything including the bosses though. even replaced another one of my tbc arena epics :D

countdown to my transfer out continues.

does anyone know if you can queu for dungeons with a lower level? my bro is 69 on his priest on aegwynn and once i transfer going to help him level.wonder if we can do dungeons between quests in tbc land till he hits 80 or if the dungeon finder has a level restriction on it.

also i vaguely remember reading some thing about gear in cata being like tbc where it instantly replaced vanilla epics. has anyone heard any thing more about this? or is it just rumour?

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
