So I need some tips on an extremely active server with some proper wait times

It'll cost you. Pick one with a queue but be prepared to wait when you want to get in though.

We're starting to get 10+ T4 scenarios a day now on Eight Peaks. Battles are often closely fought between the two sides as well and most of us are coming out with a quarter of our RR bar full (I'm RR22) and 13k XP.

The price we pay for this is a 700 person queue! :|

You do need to find some friends though. 4 people can change the outcome of a scenario. But if you PUG it you will likely loose because people seem to have the combined IQ of a goldfish.

you give them too much credit

if i had fraps and recorded the scenarios i did tonite, you would lose a lot of faith in the human race

I have no idea what you're talking about, almost every group I'm in knows what they're doing. I have faith in the human race.

Me too. They're doing an excellent job of fixing any bugs (far better than AoC was doing at launch) and the game is just so fun.

My main is a Shadow Warrior. While I generally like being a melee DPS class, I'm having the most fun with this one.

Oh, and they have definitely fixed the lag-out issues I was having, and it's not just a temporary thing.

It looks like I'll be switching over full time from WoW :yes:

The only thing I ever heard from AoC was that GM that had cybersex with someone...really shows class XD

Melee DPS is the thing...Myself is a Witch Elf, alright and fun class(except that my character looks like a ######), hit Rank 20 yesterday and getting my bum towards 21.

Its fun, and different from WoW in some ways. =)....

Scenarios are fun too..not really gotten much into them

Can you guys post some of your specs that you are running the game on? I am going to be building a new computer end of year so I can truly enjoy the game (stopped playing recently because the lag really ruins the game) and want to see what specs work :)

Thanks

Running it at 1360x768 on max settings with partial lag, always turn off the heavy memory using processes before I play it.

I REALLY wish they would improve the models for the elves, both realms. The way the males run makes me delete the toon after mere minutes. And I thought the Blood Elves in WoW were gay.

Loving the game though, most fun I've had in an MMO in years. Just wish I could pick one class to stick with...so many incredible options to choose from.

I totally agree!

Really want to play a Shadow Warrior but the animations / models just look like pure crap. Plus they need to add some proper hair for the males, from behind they look like women, which is also contributed by their bodies looking like a copy & paste from the female bodies with "Size +2".

Though most classes seem to bore me,

16 Zealot

16 Warrior-Priest

15 Chosen

14 Witch-Hunter

9 Marauder

6 Black Orc ( Current )

Every time I hit the Tier 2 Battlegrounds everything just grinds to a halt, the insane waits times and win rate goes belly up. I hope the ability to join all battlegrounds from where you stand will make the Black Orc more enjoyable, though its annoying to be more dead than alive due to the fact Destruction seems to lack healers big time. Annoying the Order healers are much more attractive to play.

Also, why are chat channels so dead?!? Also, a lot of people in game come off as elitists; the PvPers from WoW (no offense if anyone here is a PvPer from WoW, but most of them are asshats). Some things really put me off from this game. I got upto level 24 and it has been so quiet ever since I go into Tier 2. Scenarios have long wait times, fewer people are around, and the game just doesn't seem that fun anymore.

It was boring for me until I joined a guild; and it is true that NOBODY uses the area channels, unfortunately :/

I know what you mean. I made a female Shadow Warrior simply because a male would have looked like a female anyway :laugh:

That, and I was running out of cool-sounding male names to use (and the random name generator tends to have names I can't even pronounce).

Mythic is apparently in the process of taking down suggestions from the player base on what they want implimented in the chat system. Most people want a zone-wide chat, much like what is in WoW, instead of being limited to the little sub-zones as it is now.

Also, what servers are you guys playing on? I've been bouncing around a bit, trying to find one that is active, yet not too terribly overpopulated.

also theres the fact that trial accounts give infinite accounts to gold spammers.

im not against them, i just prefer when they give the actual game players the keys for trials instead, if you can give 5 or so trials in a month that would be preferred.

oh god

i can't believe the amount of gold spamming i get

i've stopped playing WAR all together till they fix the ignore list and people figure out how to do the BGs (or scenarios whatever they're called in this game)

i thought this was going to hold me over till WotLK but i was wrong

the UI interface is also terrible imo

can't even click on a players name in the chat window to send them a tell..... :|

WAR WOW (spaces don't show....)

Same game amirite? Not doing everything Blizzard did makes the game fail amirite?

Two different games....I don't know why people keep comparing them. Go at it at a different angle instead of...a game to keep me occupied until Wotlk, you're bound to hate it with that kind of an attitude.

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.
    • MakeMKV 1.18.4 Beta by Razvan Serea MakeMKV is a format converter, otherwise called "transcoder". It converts the video clips from proprietary (and usually encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any way. The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve chapters. There are many players that can play MKV files nearly on all platforms, and there are tools to convert MKV files to many formats, including DVD and Blu-ray discs. Additionally MakeMKV can instantly stream decrypted video without intermediate conversion to wide range of players, so you may watch Blu-ray and DVD discs with your favorite player on your favorite OS or on your favorite device. Reads DVD and Blu-ray discs Reads Blu-ray discs protected with latest versions of AACS and BD+ Preserves all video and audio tracks, including HD audio Preserves chapters information Preserves all meta-information (track language, audio type) Fast conversion - converts as fast as your drive can read data. No additional software is required for conversion or decryption. Available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux Functionality to open DVD discs is free and will always stay free. All features (including Blu-ray decryption and processing) are free during BETA.

    • They probably should have it where they can open other formats but only save in the open formats.
    • The next time you apply for a shift at Taco Bell or KFC, you may be interviewed, assessed, and onboarded by three AI agents named Maria, Daniel, and Claire — and those agents will continue scoring your behavior long after you clock in for the first time.................... For workers applying to or already employed at those chains, the implication is concrete: an AI system is assessing their conversational behavior over WhatsApp and phone calls, storing that behavioral data, and using it to inform decisions about whether they are hired, how they are onboarded, and whether they are flagged as a flight risk https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318390/20260615/ai-agents-now-score-taco-bell-kfc-workers-via-whatsapp-day-one.htm
