WoW_Ladies: Girl Gamers of World of Warcraft

FIXED! Thanks to starfruit_slush!

Any Mac Users Here?

After being a PC user for the last bajillion years, I finally, completely switched over to Mac (MacBook Pro and iMac). It's been a bit of an adjustment, but overall, it was for the best and I love my new systems.

I finally got WoW installed, did all the updates, and set up all my addons. When I went to play last night, I noticed that all my addons work except for Carbonite. At first, I thought that maybe I'd forgotten to turn it on in the addons panel (the one in the toon selection screen), but when I opened that window, Carbonite isn't even showing. The rest of the addons are there (Tour Guide, TomTom, Elephant, etc), but Carbonite is nowhere to be found.

I double-checked the file path. It's in Applications\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons (the exact same spot as the addons that are showing/working). It's unzipped properly. Just for shits and giggles, I deleted the Carbonite folder, re-downloaded the file, and did everything all over again, double-checking as usual.

Still nothing. On the Carbonite website, it suggests that you check to make sure all the files and folders are there. They are. Nothing's missing.

I don't think it's a computer glitch, because I can't get the addon to work on either system (laptop or desktop).

I'm at a bit of a loss, here. Anyone else have this problem?? I'm considering just switching to another addon, because I've been fighting with this since last night, and I just want to play!

Any suggestions? Does anyone use QuestHelper?

Hey ladies, I'm hoping you can help me with a Grid problem.

( Read more... )

So ladies, help me get my old pretty Grid setting back, please? What am I doing wrong here?

I remember reading about a new raiding addon that was similar to DBM or Bigwigs but has some new options.
Unfortunately, I was at work when I read about it and now can't remember the name or where I read it, but it was very probably here, so after looking around the addon posts here and not seeing it, I thought maybe just asking would be a good idea.
Anyone know what I'm looking for?

Also, I was wondering if anyone knew of raid frames that supports showing raid icons on targets.
I find that when there are a lot of mobs, and the kill order is skull, X, square etc. It can take more time than I want to get the correct target.
Any thoughts?

Thanks.

halp!!!
for those that use npcscan, i has a question. have you ever had it go off and theres nothing there? i've been using it to try to find ursius of the shardtooth in winterspring, and it went off but when i clicked the button....nothing. help?

Hey ladies. So I have some questions which I now submit to your respected advice!

Hi Ladies,

I have a 27 rogue who started BG's last weekend. She's not a twink, just looking to learn how to do BG's for fun. My main is a healer, so I've bandaged a few people ;) What are some of the good spell priorities? Google tells me that I just kind of hang back and finish off what others have started. What are some of your favorite and funny, sneaky things to do? I think all I can run are WG and Aranthi Basin for now.

TIA!

It's time for another World Event!

Now for something that may seem off topic - What level is your cooking?

With the recipes from Pilgrim's Bounty, it seems you can pretty much boost level your cooking from 1 - 300 with the cheap mats from the vendors (25 copper for 5 - depending on which mats you need).

Don't know if this is a bug, but I thought I'd point this out to everybody. I now have my main, and 3 alts at 300 cooking. Enjoy!

Also, who here is enjoying their new pet for Wow's 5th anniversary? He's so cute ^.^

UI help please..

I've been playing on a macbook, its 13" ... I love how it performs but as i get more and more into the game the screen size is bugging me. So till I can afford to get a monitor to attach to it I'm tryin to make my screen as clean as possible.

How do i get my UI to look like this
I have sexymap, dominos, button facade w/ apathy ... I got the buttons and map in that type of layout but I cant figure out how they got the boxes around the bottons, and how the chat is like that... Also what bar is that on the bottom? I have been using titan

Is there a way to hide tool tips completely? Someone said cowtip which i installed but it wont let me configure it. :(

Thanks for helping!

From reading the patch 3.2 notes where it says, "If a player is at their appropriate spell hit chance or hit chance maximum, their pet will be at the maximum for spell hit chance, hit chance, and expertise. If they are below the maximum, their pet will be proportionately below those maximums," I thought that "proportionately" meant that pets scaled at exactly the same amount as a hunter now. However someone pointed out to me today that was not true and so I've had my pet smacking a dummy for 2 hours to confirm it. No, it still rounds down. :/

Sorry for confusing or wrongly correcting anyone, pet hit still rounds down.
If you have 7.99% hit, your pet will have 7% and miss 1% of the time.

(The hit rating list has been edited accordingly.)

So awhile back after the new feral forms were released, I heard some talk about new moonkin and tree forms but haven't heard anything of it since.

Now, I play feral but I heal a lot too and I think I'm ready to not look at a brown piece of bark anymore... was it just something they mentioned just wanting to do or does anyone know if they're actually *working* on it?

Just curious. :)

This may or may not have been happening to others within the game, but it happened to me, so I started to research and dig around.

First of all, the old NPC character "Guild Banker" has arisen back from the dead and has started to return items back to former GMS of old and defunct / disbanded Guilds.

Picture proof:( Read more... )


Now, I made a reply / responding post on an actual thread via the wow customer support forums and opened a ticket on the 19th.

My response is on the bottom of that thread.

Anyway, I was on my Space Gypsy on a server where one of my irc lady friends plays, when the GM'S totally found me and happily discussed with me, about the issue at hand.

Picture proof:

so that's the gist of it.
If you get "Guild Banker" Mails like this, PLEASE leave the items intact, and let the GM's know you have been affected. They are now looking into this matter.

PS: Someone please tell me the command for lj cutting, I forgot how to do it. ^^;
Edit: Fixed broken link.

Can anyone tell me what add-on is being used for the toolbar and all that?

So, heard tonight on my server in trade chat: Yo Momma jokes


My two favorites so far....

1. Yo Momma so fat they had to grease the portal and put conjured cinnamon rolls on the other side to get her through it.

2. Yo Momma so fat all three charges of chain lightning hit her.



Anyone else have something funny happen in trade chat recently?

I'm one of two Hunter leads with a medium sized 25s raiding guild. I've been playing survival since the 40 man raiding days. The other lead is Marksman with the gear to back it up. We have a number of other hunters, all survival. In 25s, the MM hunter avg's about 6200+ dps, whereas me and the other SV hunters avg around 5100-5600+ dps, all of us are similarly geared, gemmed, etc.

Recently over the last month two of our guild's old members, a husband and wife team, rejoined the guild and have started raiding with us again. Both are recent 80's, and neither of them have really raided at all since the Black temple days (where they were a pretty amazing pair).

The husband is a Hunter, and he is exceptionally... terribad. The other hunters and I have been working with him and helping him to gear up, to try and bring him in line with the rest of us, but frankly, it's not working very well.

( You see, back in BC he was THE BM hunter.... )

A friend of mine on Twitter directed me to Professor Putricide's article on WoWwiki.

I always thought his voice actor was just making a reference to Futurama's Professor Farnsworth. But according to the article, he's voiced by Farnsworth's own VA, Billy West.

( Here's the soundclips for Putricide. You decided if it's true or false. )

Just in case anybody is interested, I finished that Jadaar and Asric fanfic that I posted here last week:

Mystery of the Violet Citadel - When a reclusive archmage disappears from his tower room in the Violet Citadel, Jadaar and Asric take it upon themselves to solve the mystery.

Again, this is my first WoW 'fic, so any feedback would be most appreciated! ^_^;

As some of you might have read last week, my guild got reported for having an offending name. I've sent an emmail to Blizz, and one of my officers sent an ingame ticket, but none of us, has gotten any reply yet.
So... I wont give up... I will now take a tour of Azeroth and all those other places and look for any inappropiate name or item, invented and named by Blizz. And -then- I'll make a new email with those names in it! :P Mwahaha... meh, it'll probably not change a thing, but it'd still be fun to see how many of these things, that're out there. You can even suggest a name/item that's inappropiate in -any- launguage! :P

An example could be the pet "Willy" - which has 1 eye... I mean...honestly -.-

hello all,

I started played WoW the week 3.1 dropped and my main just hit 80 :D so proud, she's a Troll Mage and I love her to bits, I've specced Frostfire and ran ToC 5 man about 4 times and bought a couple of AH epics that I'd saved for to make the transition easier (and my awesome boy who I got playing WoW and he beat me to 80 bought me because he's awesome).

anyway first of all:

( Obligatory Ding! shot )
Yes I know my bars need sorting desperately :P

I've tried to use WoWwiki and the fantastic empowered fire blog for help but I'm wondering if you lovely ladies could give me any pointers for a fresh 80. Thanks so much for this wonderful community.
