not debating that the person doesnt exists on a live server, and he probally does play on live. just either he wasnt on live when that was taken, or he was playing on a private earlier and the item ID that is showing, is not the liveID, but the PrivateID. aka he doesnt have a seperate WoW install for the private server, he just does the Serverlist hack to connect to the private

tradgedy is telling the truth well at least its not private server

go look up the names

Dergan

stormyknight

Cubbs

Kendora

Dergan has the exact same weapon on them (axe of frozen death) only know cause I use that same weapon

the Dergan is also level 70

its photoshoped though its a level 60 reqiurment... that and I have seen that exact weapon in other photoshoped pictures

it was actually a thread for photoshoping

but the character is actually on a live server and so was everyone else who was whisperd

Heh. This is turning out to be pretty amusing. I don't or never have played on a private server. Please note, I'm not saying someone hasn't used my computer to do so. My brother and a few others have used my computer to play a game or two. I know you'll say I'm just denying it. But whatever, it doesn't really matter if you believe me one way or another.

I mean, seriously, if I was making it up, wouldn't I be like "wow, this quest giver gave me this legendary sword and I totally pwnd all kinds of stuff with it." On a PvE server too, where it's even more useless..I'm not 12, I know that bragging on the internet doesn't win me anything.

Instead I said something strange happened to me while I was trying to do some quests and that a GM said it doesn't exist. Yeah man, that's totally cool, I'm going to run off to tell everybody I got something that is completely useless. I don't know -how- or -why- it happened, just that it did. Believe me or not, it doesn't really matter. I'm just kinda shocked at the reactions I'm getting. I thought this was some sort of screw up on Blizzards end, a bugged quest or something, sheesh.

Another thing, I talked to that GM around 8pm last night. I received the email at 7:27am. Good thing I wasn't waiting up for the email or anything. :/

I personally think that it's a bit strange that it's showing in your inventory and you've spoke to a GM, but it doesn't say that you received the item until after you'd spoken to the GM about it...

Because I was abandoning the quest and getting it again, hoping for some random reason to get the right quest item. You guys are too funny. Conspiracy abound with trag3dy and his completely useless legendary item that may or may not be real and may or may not be Photoshopped.

I guess it doesn't show in the screen shot but in between where I linked the item to the GM and received the item I abandoned the quest.

what bag mod is that anyway

sigh, just because the item is not on retail dosn't mean hes not playing retail. To me it looks like he has played on a private server and forgot to clear his cache.... this is what can happen.

I run a private server myself actually, and this happens when a server has an item that uses the same ID as a real item, thus when the player changes to retail, all the data received from the server will be old, from a private one.

That's what I think happened here, so let it go and let's move on.

Very nice, but ever thought of scaling everything a bit? With everything that big, feels like your screen would be extremly small. Maybe it's just me, but it looks nice, just way to big.

My screen is really small... It's 1280x1024. I like things slightly bigger I suppose. Don't have to strain my eyes or anything. Granted, everything would look better if it was in a higher, widescreen resolution like 1920x1080.

hey trag3dy, what big bag mod is it that your using there?

Combuctor. I think that's what you're after? It's a pretty great bag mod. The most useful I've found I think. Tabs on the side are for sorting items and it has a built in search to narrow a cluttered inventory down even more.

^^ I sound like a used car salesman.

I'm having an excellent time in Northrend. Just finished off Howling Fjord and it was a lot of fun. I still have to run Utgarde Keep... I usually play at night and there never seems to be enough people on, so I'll try during the day tomorrow.

I'm glad I signed back up, that's for sure :D

I can't wait to start questing in Northrend. I just started questing in Nagrand and it's better than Zangarmarsh, that's for sure. Anyway, what are some good UI mods for WoW? I've been using the default UI ever since I started playing.

Depends on what you want to do mostly. Do you want to completely overhaul the UI? Or just change the unit frames?

X-Perl Unit Frames are a very good default frame replacement if you don't want to tinker with it to get things the way you like it.

Pitbull unit frames if you like customizing a lot.

I like Bartender 4 to replace the bars. And ButtonFacade to make them look nice and purdy.

I could tell you dozens of other addons that I like but I think those are a good start for now.

Edit: Oh yeah, two really essential addons imo are QuestHelper and Lightheaded. Questhelper will help you easily locate quest objectives, while any that aren't very clear, you can look up in lightheaded wich gives you access to wowhead.com in game. Reduce your alt-tabbing by 90%.

Wow! Thanks a lot trag3dy. I'll give those a try with the exception of QuestHelper (I already have it). I'm looking forward to using LightHeaded as I always alt-tab out of WoW to search Wowhead. Anyway, there was a mod that I noticed in a couple of screenshots posted in this thread. It's a skin that makes it easier to read chat text. I can't find it at all nor can I remember the name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • 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!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
