so i was having problems again with the mumble overlay last night.

although i got it working earlier int he day, it failed to load into wow when i actually wanted to play in the evenining.

i noticed the overlay was showing up in wlm11 so i thought that might be the problem, and put wlm11 on the blacklist by creating a nooverlay file in the wlm folder. which did remove the overlay from wlm11 but did not make it work in wow.

i'm not sure what's causing the problem, and i don't see any tickets on the mumble sites related to it or how to fix it. google brings up nothing.

i tried disabling dx11 in wow again but that didn't work, and it was working in dx11 mode earlier yesterday.

if anyone has any ideas on how to get mumble to work with wow consistently let me know. :)

I've got it on all my characters by accident, just by questing :D

when i help people level i go out of my way and waste their time making them get it.

i forget the details of how to do it or which zone you get it from now though unfortunately.

i also have my staff of the archmage vargoth for RP which is the 1337est quest/vainity item in the game imho. my bro went and did the quests on his 80 preists to get it last night just for the staff. i noticed they nerfed all the similar quest items in wotlk to only work in certain zones which is a shame because i would've collected them for RPz.

man blizzard are taking their time removing the authenticator from my account, got a new phone and forgot to copy the pin or remove the auth before i got new phone :(

I emailed them and they took over a month without reply, re-emailed them, had it removed in 24 hours.

THEN they flagged my account as suspicious and made me reset my password 24 hours later :rofl:

Ahh, the great staff ^^

For robot chicken: Kill mobs in Feralas, Tanaris (or Zul'Farrak) and The Hinterlands. In each zone there is one green-quality "This item starts a quest", OOXSomething Distress Beacon. When you've done those three escort quests, you can go pick your chicken up in Booty Bay, the quest is called "An OOX of your own". Enjoy!

Also, the pet is NOT soulbound, so if you get it on alts where you don't really care about pets, you can sell it for usually a nice amount of gold!

ahh right on.

i'm starting to wonder what's going on with these recruits. they don't jump in mumble or say much in /g and then /gquit the next day, like why even bother asking for an invite in the first place?

You can't expect everyone to chat in guild. in my raiding guild there can be 50+ people on and no one may say anything or an hour or 2. Maybe people join to check it out and if your guild seems like its not worth saying in they people leave. Thats the joys of having a guild people come and people go.

I still haven't decided hunter or druid as my main.

Advantages :

Hunter-

Rolls during raids are uncontested in my guild because we don't have any hunters.. and very VERY few enhancement shamans..

Pet to level with while I'm leveling.

I enjoy 'the hunt' and having something with me at all times.. in the form of a pet.

Druid-

I love transforming and having alt forms.. flight form will be amazing.

I like the versatility of the class.

I enjoy druid immensely, just as much as I enjoy hunter.

Disadvantages:

Hunter-

People always complain that hunters are to blame for extra pulls during runs..

No 'travel' forms, so extra expenditures on mounts, other than my initial mount because I'll be a worgen.

Having to fight for the pets I want and .. hunting them down.

Druid-

Contested roles during guild runs because we have other people who use the same stats as druids..

... that's.. it I think?

:| Argh. This is a tough choice.

Either way, I'll be a worgen and a leather worker and skinner.

^ I'd go for Druid (well my main is a druid so ...), I've played a hunter and while I love the class mechanics and overall "feeling" I HATE having to feed my pet all the time. Plus, if you like AOE damage like I do, Druid is just awesome : Barkskin + Starfall, wait for mobs to gather around you then Hurricane to death, it's just too much fun when you're farming leather.

I can't wait for tomorrow. New content will be welcomed. Going to be leveling my Warrior with the wife and then probably a Worgen Druid with her as well. Will eventually level the Shaman an the Mage.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
