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.

    • This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.
    • 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.
