So I /gquit my guild today, continuing my guild hopping that I've been doing since November. Today I get replaced by another ret pally because I'm not performing up to what they expect of me. This was a hardcore guild though competing for server firsts. The raid schedule was also getting to me. I need to find a new guild that doesnt expect the absolute best, and is fine with the flaws I have in playing my character (not that their totally bad, but my damage is slightly lower than it should be).

It's kind of amazing how much things change in a month. Here's my last normal mode kill of conclave of wind (as in, I stopped doing it after this, i think this is 3 lockouts ago).

Time to kill him was basically 1/2 what the first kill took, you can largely ignore most of the mechanics, and there's very little risk of getting killed.

On the guild recruiting front:

  • We picked up a hunter, I find him annoying but he's friends with some people already.
  • We snagged a holy paladin, I have concerns that they're a fire-stander based on some of their logs but they're really inconclusive (sucks at cho'gall but good at gay dragons, so who knows)
  • We got rid of the trial mage/lock that couldn't stay alive worth a damn. They both came with passable 25-man experience (4/12 hard modes) but apparently you can be carried like nobody's business there

I"m just dumping unedited fraps captures of our kills on my youtube channel. So far none of the content has been particularly interesting.

lol just updated on wowprogress and I am number 50,000 in the world lol. Right at the cut off before you just get the 50K+. Over the last 2 weeks went through 9/12 got chogall down to 50% twice in our first night on him. Have not tied nef or al'akir yet.

We killed Cho, three weeks ago. Tonight was second night of attempts on Al'akir. Once you master P1 the fight is so much easier.. Only problem we are having now is people moving to far/not far enough during P3 for clouds. Last attempt both tanks and a healer were last ones up, took him down an additional 5% before we ran out of space. If they can stop being stupid, we'll have the kill here.

Edit: Yup. We got him. Easy peeasy.

Did your tanks ever say how hard they hit? I've seen them swimming around and was always curious. What did it drop for loot?

It drops absolutely nothing, but it gives you an achievement, and as far as how hard it hits, it hit me for 11 million damage (after the tank lost it's agro).. We wiped three times on the attempt before we got it. :happy:

11 million?! Sweet Jesus! I was swimming around Vash'jir today and bumped into one of those things. I about fell out of my chair!

Sucks it has no loot, but the achievement makes it worthwhile. Congratulations on the kill!

Past the halfway point in heroic content.

The encounter was substantially better pre-hotfixes. The enrage timer is too relaxed or the adds need more health. Either way, the fight has lost something since 2 months ago but it's at least reasonably fun the first time through. Sadly this one is going to go like conclaive or chimaeron where it just won't scale with gear and won't remain fun for long.

I'll package it up this weekend and post it somewhere, also heroic gay dragons down.

Apparently back to top 50 US 10-man, with any luck at all it'll be top 25 this week.

Certainly looks a nice UI, wouldn't mind trying too. I'm back playing after about 2 years out. 35 Druid and taking my time to level up although now wishing i was higher and back raiding! :(

You think you could do two configurations of it ?

The left and right sides are identical so there's no reason you couldn't move the threat/damage meter + raid frames to one side and the chat frame to the other one.

If I can easily set it up to work with Reflux then I'll do that. I think a better way to go might be just to make a handful of guides about how to configure the addons I use from scratch. The only addons that really matter are pitbull, bartender, quartz, satrina buff frames, vuhdo and power auras.

Reclaimed the #1 spot on the server despite doing 'harder hard modes' by killing robot council. I have a feeling one of the 25-man guilds is going to beat us to "blackwing's bane" but for now I'm going to enjoy my 15 minutes of fame. Kinda hoping somebody else gets it tomorrow night so we can go to work on getting 'of the four winds'. Al'akir and Sinestra seem like two fights that play to our strengths (throw more DPS at it), Nefarian is more of a healer check: something we've been kinda weak on since Ulduar. Our main competition has has the opposite strengths: strong healers but marginal DPS (marginal as in "only 3 ranked parses each", they're still good players)

I dumped my priest's UI and wtf folders on the web. You can download them if you like and try to copy settings appropriate to your character if you're so inclined.

Hit 82 on my hunter last night splitting questing time between Vash'jir and Hyjal. Playing him has been more fun then I remembered it being before though I attribute that to the nice long break I took from playing him. Hunters are still easier to quest with then mage's....at least for me they are.

I Hopefully the hunter will be 85 and then I can get him and the mage herioc geared soon...

omg the fake patch notes are so freaking funny

The best section imo

Firelands

An attunement quest for Firelands is now available! In order to be eligible for the upcoming raid, players must first encounter Deathwing while he is randomly attacking a zone and collect his leavings. Epic quest lines will also need to be completed to collect the leavings from the other Aspects to combine them into the Patty of the Five Flights ? the key to unlock the Elemental Plane of fire in the upcoming 4.2 patch.

Invisible walls have been added around all harmful ground effects.

All dungeon & raid bosses now have legs. If they already had legs, they got more legs.

In order to make the Cataclysm expansion appeal to all players? sense of nostalgia, shaman, druids and paladins may now only queue as healers when using the Dungeon Finder.

Tank Stimulus: Successfully completing 25 Dungeon Finder runs as a tank will grant you a $400 Federal tax credit. (Requires Form 8863)

To help ensure players are only using the Vote Kick feature for the greater good of the group, anyone who initiates a Vote Kick will be kicked themselves regardless if the vote passes or not.

Ever a player favorite, the level-80 10- and 25-player raid of Icecrown Citadel is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Ever a player favorite, the level-85 10- and 25-player raid of The Bastion of Twilight is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Ever a player favorite, the level-85 10- and 25-player raid of Firelands is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Ever a player favorite, the level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon of Deadmines is being reintroduced as a level-85 Heroic 5-player dungeon.

Here are the notes

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      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

      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.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By ZipZapRap · Posted

      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 Jawad96 · Posted

      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.
