Hello all!
I was wondering if you could help me track down the Tales of the Past trilogy. All I have found so far are really laggy videos on google video or chopped up ones on youtube. The videos on Warcraft Movies arn't working and I don't want to wait nine hours to download them on filefront -.- Ideally, I just want decent quality videos without having to download them.

I've heard many goods things about these movies and I would really like to see them.
Thanks for the help :)

EDIT: My terrible grammar

A vegan friend of mine posted this on her Facebook which I immediately had to share and then come here to share more! Apologies if it has been posted before.

http://pigspeace.org/movies/homeForLifeMovie.html

It's a short documentary about a pig sanctuary and shares some of the stories of the pigs that live there. It's non-graphic and gave me a serious case of the warm fuzzies.

So I know there's a master post about 3.3 however, I think this doesn't only apply to the new raid even though I'm using the new raid as my example, so I thought I'd post it here. Besides, I think this could be a really interesting discussion, and I really want to hear your thoughts, before I make my final judgement call.

So yesterday, I hand picked a team of ten, my main goal was to get my Main Tank, one of my Off Tanks, and my four best healers in there, and learn the basis of the fights as our 25 man raid on ICC is on Friday. Obviously not all of the healers could heal, so we had one come on a DPS alt. We rolled our way onto the first boss, giggling like school children, happy to have our trash back. (Who knew we'd miss trash pulls!) Those who didn't get picked to go were told they were allowed to hang out on vent, since I'd be talking boss strats anyhow, as long as they were quiet.

As some of you know, the first two bosses have a few odd threat things going on. The first one does a cleave on his target that is split to the nearest raid member of the target. Hopefully, that's the tank and off tank who are stacked on top of each other. Unfortunately, at one point that wound up being our DPS warrior and Holy Pally. Also, getting aggro back on the first boss after he does a certain ability takes a moment too. The second boss puts a debuff on the tanks that reduces their threat, so the tanks have to go back and forth, but the tanks also have to build up threat to take the boss back from the other tank. If a DPS winds up higher on threat then both tanks during this process they're toast.

Of course Omen came up during the raid because of the large discussion on vent about threat, and one of the listening DPS (a ret paladin who is a constant aggro whore) said in guild chat that they never use omen, because it's the tank's job to watch -their- threat. And that the in game system telling him he's at 90% threat so he should back off is enough to keep him alive. (Only, it hasn't been.) If he's dying because of aggro, it's the tanks faults for sucking, not his. He then went on to say that I am crazy to expect him to install Omen before he's allowed on any guild raid again, because he's played this way since he starting playing wow.

With the new fights I truly think that going off of "I'm at 90% according to blizzard, I should stop" isn't enough when one of the tanks might be at 89% and you being at 90% can cause yourself and a healer to get one shot. I truly think that being able to see where you are at in comparison to the other DPS and tank is important. Hell, another DPS could unfortunately be the person at 100% and they could feign and you'd be the person taking the cleave on the first boss!

Now said DPSer is complaining that I'm making him install it and prove that he has it installed (He's the type to lie about these sort of things.) before he's allowed to come any raids. Another DPS or two who were online were kicking and grumbling about the fact that I am telling people they have to have it.

So I'm wondering, am I crazy to expect this? Saying, you download a lightweight addon or you don't raid until you do? Most people in the guild say no, because top raiding guilds on our server have whole lists of things you need to have installed. I'm asking for a pretty light weight addon.

Also, is it only the tanks job to keep an eye on aggro? If my two very well geared and talented tanks can't keep me safe, then to me as a warlock, it means I have threat management issues. Have I been looking at it wrong?

Discuss please? I'd like to hear both sides of the discussion in an intelligent manner.

Edited to add: Am I the only one who thinks it's crazy that I even have to have this discussion? I didn't even know people raided without threat meters until yesterday!

I just stumbled across this video, and it sorta bummed me out. It's not even that they eat meat (which is, of course, gross and disappointing)--it's the disgusting way they talk about it.

Also, someone should probably let them know that the corpses that are slung at McDonalds aren't "free range".

I love their music, and have for years, but this video makes them look like idiots.

So, hopefully I'm not the only one who logged on a lower-level character to try out the new features that have been given to us.

Have you used the new cross-server lfg system to join an old world or BC lowbie PuG? Is it an improvement over previous methods?

Have you seen the functionality of the new quest log? What do you think of it?

My totally valid anecdotes )

My hunter, Sarayana was my raiding main back when we first ran Naxx. She got super lucky and picked up Journey's End. Since then, she's pretty much been sidelined, but with the new dungeon tool, she's trying everything and working her way towards the pug minipet. Today, I picked up two 1-handers for her: Blood Weeper and Nighttime.

Instead of just rushing out and enchanting them, I thought I'd do some research, and I'm scratching my head. The wowhead item comparison (with enchants) shows that they score about the same as my current weapon. They're a huge boost in agility, but a drop in AP (which I expected). However, wowwiki tells me that hunters now only get one AP per agility instead of two (told ya it's been a while...). So my question is, what would you do? Are they upgrades, or not? Should I leave it and hope Orca-hunter's Harpoon drops for me?

As always, your input and help is MUCH appreciated, I'm scratching my head over this.



I don't know if there are any other tags that are appropriate for this.. Sorry.

Still haven't found my totem bar and now my LFG button is missing! I don't mind the totem thing so much, but I need the LFG button! I'm pretty much stuck pugging because of my work schedule and I was really looking forward to trying the new system out. I read the info provided in the post for my previous question, but it says nothing about adding back a button that is missing. I've looked at everything very closely and it's just not there anymore. Anyone have any ideas? I would be greatly appreciative!


Edited to add: I think I'm just gonna use i for now. Not sure what happened to the thing, but as long as I can get to the Dungeon Finder I'm ok lol. Thanks for all your help, ladies! <3

On the 19th of November, I ordered an authenticator. I figured it would be a little late because of the demand and the Thanksgiving/Black Friday mailing traffic. But now it's nearly a month later, and I still haven't receieved it. :\

When I go to the website, it gives me a tracking number and has it only listed as 'shipped'. But when I go to the USPS tracking site, it says that number doesn't exist at all.

Is this sort of wait average? I sent in an email last night and will try to call them by phone this afternoon, but I figured I should check here first. If it is lost, does anyone know if they will replace the lost one, or will I have to cash out for another one?

I've been dual-boxing a mage and hunter through Recruit-A-Friend. They're levels 55 and 54 now, so I should have 5 levels of easy XP left, except I'm not getting the bonus. I can summon and grant levels, but as of yesterday I'm not getting the bonus XP or reputation. I've got about a month left of RAF, and intended to level another set as high as I could in that time.

I'm on a Mac. I created a copy of the WoW application so I could open two instances of the game easily, and use the same folders and settings for both accounts. They're on the same battlenet account. I don't know if any of these things are contributing to the problem. Mostly I'm confused. Is it a bug? Is it something I should ticket? I can't find anything helpful on the forums.

I always get alts stuck between levels 50-58- it's not fun and I just can not power through it. The bonus XP has been driving me the past few levels, honestly.

Hi ladies! Yes, it's me again. In the end, I made a Blood Elf mage on Aman'Thul. I love her to bits, but being a squish is not cool.

Anyway.

I made a shaman alt on Nagrand tonight, and was wondering what spec would be best for levelling? And what stats should I be looking out for as that particular spec?

Thanks, and yeah. Sorry about the questions. >_>;;

Ok, so I am officially Mutilate on my rogue because 1. omg damage and 2. daggers have decided to love me and will now drop quite readily in my presence.

I went into ICC last night and got this: Heartpierce

The energy return thing is pretty interesting. Its proc rate isn't bad (energy gained breakdown so far is usually about 60% Focused Attacks, 22% Relentless Strikes, and 16% Invigoration). But without all those stats I've gotten accustomed to seeing on weapons... should I still use it?

It's replacing Nemesis Blade (heroic), so the dps alone seems worth it, but I'm still not really sure how I feel about it. :|





New loot and content makes me feel like such a noob. >:|

Ok, so I decided to download Roth UI and so far I love it! It's so pretty and much less cluttered than using the normal UI. I have a big problem though. I'm a shaman. My totems are very important to me and my totem bar has disappeared. I looked to see if I can find it, but only find answers on how to move stance bars and the like. Anyone know where my bar might have gone? lol Kind of important for my deeps :D TIA

Hi all,

I am looking for some decent vegan headphones. I want all around the ear headphones (style). The pair I have now still work but are slowly aging. I am willing to spend between $40-70. I would get another from the same company this pair is from (Bose) but I purchased them before I was vegan and I'm 90 percent sure they are made with leather.

I know can look on the internet, but does anyone have recommendations?

I'm making a huge batch of vegan chili to feed dozens of people. I know some of them can't have soy and of course mushrooms are a common allergen, so I'm looking for a recipe that has lots of beans for protein and doesn't use boxed/canned broth or boullion (lots of ingredients = lots of potential allergens). A white chili (not tomato-based) would be amazing; there will also be non-vegan chili at the event and I want it to be easy for people to tell them apart. Many thanks for your suggestions!
