My User Interface history

This is just going to be some sort of a nostalgia thread displaying the ui's I've gone through over the years ;) They are mostly made by myself (The esthetics. Not the addons).

Dunno how my UI will turn out when 2.0 appears and completely messes everything up. I will probably be using default UI until DUB shows up as a usable version.

Article reveals how to get a Nether Drake!

A recent article reveals how you can get yourself a brand new and shiny armored Nether Drake in The Burning Crusade ;)

Tom Chilton explains the workings: "With BC the Arena system gives rewards on par with the best you’ll find in the rest of the game. Any time we start new raids, we’ll start a new Arena season that gives us the opportunity to add a new set of Arena rewards to keep up with that. Each season lasts three months, and at the end of that, based on your position on the ladder, each person in the top team is going to receive an Epic armoured Netherdrake mount."

I'm sure as hell getting one. Thats for sure!

Tier 4 and 5 Set-items for The Burning Crusade

There's lot of pictures flying around the net from these sets so I thought I might aswell post em here aswell for your viewing pleasure.

Tier 4:



Tier 5:
Rogue Tier 4 is awesome (look on the orc picture for the updated helm graphics).
However, rogue tier 5 looks retarded. Looks like something a kid could draw.

Arena Weapons for The Burning Crusade


As a dagger rogue it pains me to see that yet again the dagger graphics is fugly as always. :(
Just about every weapon obtainable looks really cool, especially the War staff (Top right Pic 2). Grats to whomever caster gets that ;). The dagger literally looks like something some kid found in the sewer who has been rusting there for centuries.

Atleast the damage on the thing is insane. Cant wait to Shadowstep Ambush with it :).
And I know there is quick offhand dagger aswell but I think im going to take two of the 191 daggers to test with Mutilate if it becomes good enough due TBC Retail.

Time will tell. And if arena battles is as fun as I think it's going to be I might aswell pick up 2 fist weapons for grind and amusement purposes. Wont hurt to have a pair :)

Allthough not released yet (Looks) the arena set are rumoured to be copies of the Tier 4 sets only with a different color scheme. The normal tier 4 sets looks really cool with its Black And Purple colors which is what a rogue is supposed to look like. Dark! I just hope they wont mess up the arena set color with something shiny. Paladins Anyone? :p

Unlagged for Quake 4 Finished

Finally, the 'Unlagged' code for Q4 has been finished.
It has been in testing for a while now and has seen many improvements. It doesn't hamper overall performance much, so you should not have any problems running it.

There are two versions of Unlagged. The first one is a new version of GameType Revolution (just an altered 0.17b, so dont expect new features)

The other one is a 'baseq4' version, for those who would prefer to test it without any other changes, with just a little extension to allow 'railjumps'. This mod has been combined with the Q4Gib mod. If you just want the Unlagged, delete the q4gib.pk4.
Download

Many, if not all mod developers might be interested in the sourcecode, which is available and also contains the source for rail jumping.
