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?

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
