Wow_Ladies: Girl Gamers of World of Warcraft

i'm in elwynn forest on bronzebeard, looking for sigs. if anyone could make an alt and help me out i'd love it!

thanks in advance!

eta: still need six sigs! thanks to everyone who signed so far!

eta: three sigs needed!

finished, ladies! thank you all so much!

I'm fairly new to endgame.  I've got my spellfire, some epics from heroics, and some 100 badge pants, no greens, +800 damage unbuffed (Fire Mage) with about 25% crit.  I'm not TOO bad.


I want to raid so I joined a raiding guild.  I really like the people in the guild and have found it very fun in gchat and such.  The problem: RAIDS!

When I joined I asked them their raid schedule and told them my days off.  My days off at the time were Thursday and Monday and they said Thursday was usually a big raid day so they'd be able to get me in with at least one a week.  Now my days off are Saturday and Sunday which are even better for the raid schedule they originally told me.

So they got me all excited to raid but not it seems like they NEVER raid when they say they will. It's a West coast sever but they ALL live on the East Coast so I cannot raid on work days since I'm at work till their bed times.   So I turn to the days off, right?  They have NEVER held a raid on one of my days off. Period.  They keep saying "Faid, why don't you ever come to Kara with us?!" . . . because you won't take me?  So this week, due to an injury at work, I have four days off. For the past three days I've been saying "Are we doing Kara on Tuesday? KZ on Tues? Are we?"  To resounding no's, no entries in group calendar, etc. etc.

I log on today to find they're an hour into Kara.

What. The. FRICK.  (Dunno the comm's rules on profanity. :P)

I know it's not that I'm undergeared/a bad player, I've been able to come along for Prince once, and High King in Gruul's another time, both stories in and of themselves.  (We're going to break now Faid but we'll pick it up tomorrow when you're off work.  . . . Next day, "Hi guys I'm off work, let's do this!"  "lulz we cleared it this morning.")   I do well in raids, I don't top the damage but even in 25 mans I'm usually top 3-5 and I am TEH BUFFMASTER!1   (Seriously, four freaking mages and I have to do all the Arcane Brilliance?)

It's really starting to annoy me.  Thoughts?

And BTW: No other guilds on my server raid at the appropriate times for my schedule except maybe the top 2 guilds on the server, which of course wouldn't recruit a Kara-level player. :)

Is there an add-on out there that tags the mobs in the tooltips when you mouse over them such as: 0/10

Monkey Quest does that, but I want to just have that tooltip. Not the whole new quest log and stuff.

Anyone have any ideas??

So non-fun things happened today in WoW.

( Mostly a rant about a nice sexist moment I saw today. )

So right now I'm in sort of an unusual gaming situation. I'm actually traveling the world (I love it!!) and will be for the next 16 months. As a way to sort of kick back, destress, and pretend I'm in the first world again I occasionally check into a private hotel room with wireless and spend some time playing wow. Yeah, I tried to get away but I guess I'm too addicted if I'll even put up with Guatemalan internet :)

Anyways, obviously this isn't amenable to raiding (nor do I particularly want to raid again.) I'm pretty much just slowly leveling a new character with the hopes of eventually hitting 70 and maybe doing an instance or a BG every once in a while. I'm currently guildless on a server I joined because of a good ingame friend, but he's quitting for AoC and I have no real reason to stick around. I'm not super happy not knowing anyone, so I thought I'd appeal to wow_ladies for help!

I'm looking for a new PVE server/guild that is open to a level 35 GNOME rogue who will be logging in from crazy places like Syria and Cambodia, might go weeks without being able to check in, along with any other quirks that might come along with my position, such as randomly replying in Spanish in guild chat or constantly telling boring travel stories. I'd prefer for it to be a large guild, not just for alts, with experienced characters of all levels. I want to stick with the guild at 70, and to be able to really develop close friendships. Optimally the server won't be terrible for pugs, pug heroics, or BGs. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

**Edited to add that I am a GNOME! Also, PVE.

Alright, well it's been about 3 years now...maybe 4 and the time has come for me to get myself a new computer. I have a few stipulations when it comes to the new comp and as always it seems like finding a comp to fit my specifications is being near impossible to find. So, I turn to you ladies. :) I am hoping maybe some of you know a bit about computers, I am sure many of you know more than me anyway. LOL I've got my eye on two computers. Both are gateway, but I am not really sure if they will do what I want. I need a laptop because I am a college student and the mobility of laptops is just a must. I want the laptop to handle school related things (Not a whole lot of stuff) and be able to perform WoW at a decent rate. The comp I have now rarely ever hits 20 FPS and I am usually at 1-8fps when in a city (let's not talk about Shat). I'd also not like to spend $1000. I'd like to spend as little as possible really. I am on a tight budget. I'll post a link to the two comps I am looking at but if anyone has anything to show me, PLEASE link it. :) I am looking at anything right now that will hopefully fit these criterias.

ok, are then any other hunters out there pissed off as i am that scare beast SAYS it's instant, but in fact, is not?

Come on, blizz. stop messing with us hunters.

Just wondering if anybody else is having a problem with their hearthstone/mounts being unusable? I normally have them out on my UI, but they'd vanished from their designated buttons. When I open up my bags and find my hearthstone and mount icon in there, they don't work - hovering my mouse over them just brings up the message 'Retrieving item information' in red font, and right clicking on them does nothing. I tried disabling all my addons - still nothing. I tried throwing my hearthstone away to see if I could pick up a new, working one - I couldn't bring up the option to destroy it.

Anybody else having this problem? :/

From the patch notes:

Tempest Keep: The Eye

• Void Reaver’s Arcane orbs now generate combat log entries.

...

Yes!!!!!!!!

Edit: Some of you seem to have escaped the sheer hell that was invisible orb glitches. Paying attention in fights is important, yes. Wiping the raid because your video card didn't properly generate a shiny bubble floating toward you? Lame.

My computer is old. At least 5 years old...and it sports a 30G harddrive. As you can guess, WoW takes up most of it.

I keep programs to a minimum. All my music, drawings, screenshots, etc...are stored on my 100G external harddrive. I frequently move my screenshots to my external harddrive. I frequently make sure that every program I have installed is something I use, and uninstall/delete what I don't use. I also defrag my computer.

Yet I have less than 2GB of free space left. This is troubling...as WoW continues to be updated with patches. This last one was 15MB. When I moved from Florida I accidently left all my discs behind for my computer...so I can't completely wipe my computer clean and go from there.

The other solution is to buy a new tower...which I want to do, but I lack the funds to do it.

On my external harddrive I have over 80 gigs free. I would love to use it for WoW, since it has the capabilities to hold it, along with my music and other things. It would easily free up 15G on my normal harddrive.

But how do I go about installing it? Can it even be done?

Thanks in advance.

I've recently returned to WoW after a pregnancy-induced year of absence. Now that I'm back I'm not entirely sure what to do with myself and thought I might bounce this off you gals for advice.

I play on an RP server and my time is limited due to now having a young child. There are three characters I could focus on:

1. A rogue, level 64. My favorite to solo with but she was created solely to be a henchman for a plot long done and now has no RP focus.
2. A holy priest, level 60. Has the most RP ties and our guild is usually a bit short on healers for instances. However, I dread the idea of having to level her up and may not have the necessary time to devote to her RP.
3. A  warrior, level 16. A brand new start and a bunch of fun so far, but the chances of ever being able to instance with my guild again are slim to none since she'll be leveling very slowly. Also, I'd like to have at least one 70 so I can experience WotLK when it comes out.
   

What are your thoughts? I honestly have no idea what to do, but I'll need to focus on one or I'll be going nowhere with all three.

Once again I find myself here looking for some advice...

I'm starting to get a little bored with my priest since I haven't had time lately to raid thanks to school, work and life in general so I've decided to give PvP a shot. I flew around last night night picking up the pieces for the beginner's PvP set and got everything enchanted/gemmed without spending too much (since I hear that I'll replace this set quickly). Then I went into EotS (it popped up first!) and pretty much followed around the biggest groups healing when I could, psychic screaming when I got attacked and trying to keep my bubble up. I died a lot, but I'm used to that, but I also managed to top the healing meter in one BG and came in second (behind a horde) in another. Now, it's totally possible that that has nothing to do with me and everything to do with other people's lack of healing... but who knows.

I guess I'm just looking for some general suggestions for someone that's a huge noob at PvP. Gear? Stats to look for? Spells and tricks to remember? Anything....

Oh, armory is here! Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer...

*Edited to add: I think I could've been a little clearer... I want to stay spec'd holy since I'll be raiding again soon. PvP is more of a side-venture than one I want to completely build my spec around. Thanks for all the tips so far though-- very, very useful!

Anyone know of any WoW realated blogs written by women?

Earlier tonight I was joking around with a friend and playing with photoshop and said I would so make a website called Pretty In Purps as a wow blog. I even made a subdomain on my current website and uploaded a little coming soon poster.
10 minutes later I am surprised with: http://www.prettyinpurps.com/ with my little poster on it :D

So what started as a joke became my friend buying me a domain because he loved the idea. It's WoW downtime night and I'm super bored (Australian so the maintenance is like 6:30PM onwards here). At first I thought it would be funny to be about constantly trying to find the best looking outfits you can get for your character in WoW, from roleplaying costumes to high end epics and discuss whats 'in' this (arena)season. Obviously, that limits the content a little bit so I was wondering what else I could throw in so that it's not just another WoW blog. Anyone interested in blogging for Pretty in Purps?

Any suggestions/tips/links are much appreciated :D

So on a whim - I click on my WoW icon, few hours before maintenance is actualy supposed to end  and - bam - new patch starts downloading.  Wheee, I think, maybe now they will fix some bugs and oy, I think, I can see more, newer bugs coming up. 

Dowload finishes, I start reading patch notes.

I can see a lot of fixes, some that make me very very happy, like for instance - portal to stonard, instant scare beast, fixed bugs with some of the macros and spells, rogues and warriors no longer kill critters with some of their skills, some improvemsnts to professions like shorter cooldowns and in case of void shatter - no cool down.  Absence of bug fix for that shammy totem that keps killing your own factions characters made me go hmmm.

But this one - this one makes me cry:(

Mages

Polymorph: Mounted creatures will no longer remain mounted while polymorphed.

this has had to be one of the most harmless and funniest bugs in the game - why did they have to fix it???   why???????

I hit level 70 on my Druid last night!! With only 13 days and some odd hours for /played! It was awesome. That makes two 70s!

I dinged while running Mana Tombs with a PUG. ( Cut to save your F-lists )

I haven't been playing for that long and my characters are still babies, but I seriously need to say this:

I. HATE. MURLOCS.

Hate, hate, HATE. I hate the way they look, that stupid gurgling sound they make...I hate everything about them!

*deep breath* Thanks for letting me get that out.

So while we're on the subject...what critters in WoW can YOU not stand? Let it out!

I mentioned some of the instances I hit with my toons and they said they didn't know why I don't consider myself a raider. I still don't, I'm a casual player that happens to be on for about 5hrs...every single night. Yeah....

Anyway how many of you consider yourselves raiders and if so...what does that actually mean? I know that someone who is say 5/5 4/6 or whatever..yeah that's obviously a raider but when do you start getting to say that? Am I 11/11 and 6/6 for kz and za? :) I'm just curious...and hate extended maintenance.

Also just a side note remember if you wanna have an alt in blackhand-us-syrens of the horde for a fun little, girls guild, some altitis and getting away from your main look us up. I know a couple of you already have :)

    Yesterday was an amazing day!!!  Ok little bit of a back story here.  I have played three different mages over the past three years (Undead, Human, now Blood Elf).  I played the Undead through Naxx, Human through MC when my fiancé and I rerolled, and now the Blood Elf through BT.  On all three I have grinded the living heck out of the fish boss in ZG for the stupid turtle...and it FINALLY dropped for my BE yesterday!  I think I broke my fiancé's ears when it dropped.  This was about...an hour or so before raid time before this happened.

    Raid time comes around, only bosses we have left to kill for the week are Illypoo and Archi.  We had only killed Illidan once before, and I had not been present for the kill due to work.  We wiped once last night due to one of our offtanks (My RL friend) standing in the eyebeam (DOH)...and then proceed to kick the everloving crap out of him!  Second kill...we get a MH Warglave, a Skull(Got one first kill also!!) and double vanquisher!  I got shiny new robes last night too!  3 piece T6 woot!  Now just to pray for shoulders.  It's unfortunetly an ongoing joke within our guild that caster loot NEVER drops...which it doesn't.  So two skulls is more than enough for us to stop bitching at least for a little bit. 

    We've also been killing Archi for a long while...just last night got our first ToC!!  Went to our DKP hording locks, however they deserve it since they have the luck to be on the same T6 token as Pallies and Priests. 

    I was in such an amazing mood that I didn't care that I died almost every pull when we were learning Sunwell trash since we had extra time after those two died.  It gave me an excuse to use my new turtle!  On a sidenote, do any of you know the mechanics behind those stupid robots.  We were piling up for that stupid electrical charge, however EVERY pull of those robots I seemed to get hit with multiple chains, and splatted.  I was seriously debating putting on my PVP gear just so I wouldn't die every pull.  Also had a few deaths unrelated to robots, however those were my fault...stuck in tells after I would sheep so the stupid kill target would whirlwind me before I moved away...etc....

    Either way...SQUEE!

Since I haven't done this yet here, and I know there are some amazing rogues in this community:

Right now my Alt 48 Warlock is a herb/alch, and i'm debating changing her to herb/JCing, and i'm not sure what to do.... soooooo

In YOUR opinion, give me a list of what professions go with what classes the best. And why do you think so?

For example..

Mage - Tailoring/Enchanting
Paladin - Mining/JCing


etc.


I've always wondered what people thought about that, and would like some insight as I can't decide what professions to give to my alts :-(

TIA. <3
