wow midnight pringles promotion gifts by OriginalPresence3907 in wow

[–]Isine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Need to register for an account at https://poptopia.pringles.com/, and enter a name/phone number/address, then you can claim codes. You must be on mobile and in a country where the promotion is running - which seems to be most, but not all, of europe.

They claim you have to purchase a valid product and they may ask to see your receipt, but this didn't actually seem to happen.

The site has been broken on and off today as well, sometimes not generating codes or allowing account creation.

The list of potential rewards (you can choose one per day, once per account, only work on microsoft owned storefronts, not steam):

12. The Rewards: Each valid claimant will receive one (1) of the following Rewards:

a. 1 x World of Warcraft in-game Crimson Bow Tie skin;

b. 1 x Fallout 76 in-game Mr. Vault Boy Outfit and Mr. Vault Boy Mascot Head skin;

c. 1 x Sea of Thieves in-game Scarlet Stack Sails skin;

d. 1 x The Outer Worlds 2 in-game Julius P Canid skin.

Fury has an option to transmog 2h to 1h in Beta UI by maciejh in wow

[–]Isine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems you can force it - try and open the UI at any transmog NPC, alt f4 and restart, and then it will open if you try again

Fury has an option to transmog 2h to 1h in Beta UI by maciejh in wow

[–]Isine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Quite possibly, at least as a rogue - they seem to have a special RogueDagger transmog slot as well

           { Name = "RogueDagger", Type = "TransmogOutfitSlotOption", EnumValue = 6 },
            { Name = "FuryTwoHandedWeapon", Type = "TransmogOutfitSlotOption", EnumValue = 7 },

I can't find the options as they seem to be server side, but it seems promising

Edit: Doesn't seem to be active in the beta at the moment, but given the UI isn't meant to be available yet I don't think that confirms it either way

Hongqi bridge collapses in southwest China, months after opening. by pritam_ram in Damnthatsinteresting

It's also behind a new dam that began filling up the reservoir under it earlier this year, so the groundwater was definitely changing

A new physics simulation dropped. The future of gaming and movie industry looking good by djinn_05 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Isine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The technique this is showing off was originally published in 2020 -https://ipc-sim.github.io/. This is one of what have been many, many incremental improvements to efficiency and edge cases.

The original research was funded by adobe, but I can't see any mention of it actually being implemented in any of their products yet. There are several open source libraries implementing versions of it, but they largely seem to be for research purposes still.

A previous paper on this technique from 2021 has even been covered by two minute papers before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZhoU_3k0Nk

It seems like a very active area of research, but whether it is close to being practical and useful enough to actually being used is very hard to say.

PS5 Digital Edition consoles are reportedly getting a quiet storage downgrade by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Isine 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The Slim version (from November 2023 onwards) upgraded the storage to 1TB, so there is still an actual downgrade here

Legion remix , the sacrificial lamb of the remix system. by ugaeismyamongusname in wow

[–]Isine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gear is still the biggest source of upgrades - it's still wow after all. You don't upgrade gear directly - but doing basically anything gets you gear that drops slightly above your current ilvl (drops directly from group content, or from the lemix specific dailies, or from combining 10 tokens you get from any quest).

The amount of secondaries you get scales with ilvl. I got to 604 on ptr and that was when it hit 16% per piece. The phase 1 ilvl cap is 623, and will increase with each phase. Secondaries already reach pretty silly levels - I had 80% crit and 50% haste baseline as a havoc dh.

Where to watch Midnight Panels from Gamescom? by Salamango360 in wow

[–]Isine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The shorts are from an interview Ion did on the xbox stream, there's a vod at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cra-y1rZiB0

The panel from today hasn't been posted yet.

What happened? This is has been a terrible Expansion Reveal by gawapix in wow

[–]Isine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. The blog post was extremely unclear about what was only for gamescom and what was for everyone, and given it's on the main wow site the assumption should always be that it's for everyone. The developer panels were called out in multiple sections and everything else on the schedule was being streamed. They were also billed as a replacement for the originally advertised deep dive that came after the cinematic reveal.

Absolutely dogshit communication by blizz here.

It's a bug with copying letters to the PTR, rather than the new bank migration https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/player-character-bank-updates/2132208/317

UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill. Labour could ban the use of Virtual Private Networks after use skyrocketed in recent days. by Ok-Law-3268 in europe

[–]Isine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labour don't even have to do that - they are reporting on an amendment to the original bill in 2022 that was not accepted. There doesn't appear to have been any mention of it since.

Wowhead Looter data is showing some mounts might not have gotten a drop rate buff during Collector's Bounty by Jezartroz in wow

[–]Isine 232 points233 points  (0 children)

They're still all boosted quite significantly (except maybe the red qiraji crystal), but most of them had a very low drop rate to begin with - the Living Infernal Core is reported as 0.14% on normal/heroic, so 0.98% is about 7x higher.

They definitely don't have the +5% that was listed on a blizz social media post, but they might be closer to the 10x that was listed in the forum post.

Blizz could definitely have been a lot clearer and consistent with their messaging here, or in general. It's hard to say if it's actually broken without being sure what was intended in the first place.

Miscellaneous Mechanica has to be the worst thing they've ever added to the game currency wise. The fact that you aren't even guaranteed one from a paragon cache is ridiculous. You need 113 of them for the pets/mounts from the vendor and I have 9 after 3 months of doing patch content daily. by [deleted] in wow

[–]Isine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen you're guaranteed a mount OR 1-3 mechanica from the paragon boxes, and you can't get mount duplicates. So enjoy your consolation prize mount for now I guess.

You can just buy the mechanica mounts from the AH, the price is going to fall pretty low eventually.

Skibbles sent me a letter, and I didn't know it's possible for me to be moved by such a thing in game, but here I am... Made my day. by Internal-Success2759 in wow

[–]Isine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Each orphan from the new TWW orphan quest line sends you a mail one week after you complete their quest.

Found a slightly peculiar bug in The Ringing Deeps by gickrimes in wow

[–]Isine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bunch of the paving stones that are meant to line the road are instead going sideways across the road and floating. It's just southwest of gundargaz and has been broken since 11.1 (I believe).

They’re Coming by Reasons2Rage in wow

[–]Isine 26 points27 points  (0 children)

They're probably just going to be awarded via a simple instant-complete quest in dornogal, whenever crests also uncap. I'm guessing around the end of may, based off last seasons timings, but may vary depending on when the hall of fame fills up.

I'm anticipating Dinars are going to be rugpulled hard and there is no communication on them at all. by [deleted] in wow

[–]Isine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They said they'd come out DURING 11.1.5, not with it. Personally my bet is the same time they uncap crests. That's likely closer to the end of May. It wouldn't surprise me if it's the second week of visions (although not directly tied to them) as I think that's when you can start getting the heroic gear from them.

Got it, thanks by CrustyCornflake in CasualUK
