Any fellow WoW players care to offer a thought?

My link.

I'm thinking about getting a Druid pin, or patch, and putting it on the back of my Alliance hat.

I can't decide which I should put...

I'm leaning toward the pin, because it looks nicer and is smaller:

What do you guys think?

I also had some bad luck with archives when downloading them with Chrome, downloading the same archive with IE8 fixed all CRC errors, I attributed the problem to Chrome, not my HDD's.

Where are you downloading from exactly? The official archives download through the Blizzard downloader. It uses Bittorrent so you should be fairly safe from corruption. I'd be wary downloading from any other source, the amount of people getting their accounts getting 'hacked' is insane at the moment.

Yep. I've had great success downloading the game using their official torrent file, several times, and on 3 different computers. As I always mention for this topic... once you manage to get it downloaded and installed, I strongly recommend that you copy the entire WoW folder to an external HDD so you don't have to worry about it in the future. Update as major patches come out.

To access their official torrent client, go to the WoW site, left menu "Manage Account," log in and it will take you to the Battle.net account management page for WoW. There is an option right there for downloading the PC client.

If you have already tried the official client method and it still didn't work, do you have any RL friends who play WoW that you can get the files from?

Good luck :(.

Should have made it clear, the archives I talked about weren't related to WoW, they're addons to Oblivion (tesnexus.com).

I installed WoW on my laptop and just copied the entire folder to my desktop PC, it works, but not ideal..

It installed perfectly fine on my laptop, so the CD's are definitely not corrupted.

Keep it like it is, maybe? Personally, I like it the way it is right now.

Finally after 100s of tries and with the buff going from 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% my guild downs the LK on 10 man Normal... has been a frustrating few months indeed failing on simple things like healing people to 100% on infest... dispelling enrage on horros, Screwing up defiles, screwing up val'kyrs... Finally! Hoping Heroic is not going to be as big of a setback.

Personally ICC was a big upset to me, i thought it was going to be more of a challenge then anything but with this stupid buff increase it really kills the instance as for raid difficulty and doesn't off the challenge it did before the ICC buff started.

Heroic LK is pretty bad. The rest of the Heroics aren't awful, but Putricide might give you a run for your money.

oh lol i meant heroic as in other bosses, if LK normal has taken this long i fear we may not down LK HC until cata hits lol.

Putriside I really want to see as everyone has slated it to be one of the hardest bosses, on normal when we kill him the green oozes generally do not even hit the first player, we are quite quick, i understand the mechanic in hc is that both spawn at the same time?

Instead of Tear Gas during a transition, he spawns a green ooze and a red ooze at the same time.

The oozes are not the only mechanic either. You also have a plague that you have to spread about every 12 seconds to another player that hasn't had for it for a minute.

With respect to Putricide.

In Addition to two oozes instead of tear gas, you also have a color put on you: Green can only kill the green ooze, orange can only kill the orange ooze.

The only fights that stand out as being 'hard' with the 20% buff are sindragosa (people are bad at ice cubes, and unchained magic is sort of "RNG" feeling)

and putricide because the penalty for getting good, oozed, or messing up plague can be pretty steep.

Putricide Hard Mode (IMO) is the best fight of this expansion, Lich King ends up being more annoying that fun.

Looking for a 1hd sword to tank with I am lvl 63 Human warrior. I do have the BOA sword's but I am looking for another option

Call a friend and do the Durn the Hungerer quest in Nagrand at level 66 for Crystalline Kopesh

There's a drop in Crypts that isn't half bad either. You can get that a level earlier.

Beyond that your choices are pretty much auction house greens or Axe of the Legion (boe blue axe).

[...] you also have a color put on you: Green can only kill the green ooze, orange can only kill the orange ooze.

Just to note: that's a 25m-only mechanic. 10m gets it a little easier by not having that.

Started heroic 10 man tonight, only managed the first 3 bosses with the current setup, we had a dps that was not a part of our LK kill and was doing substantially lower dps than the rest of us :( Think it took us around 4-5 tries to kill marrowgar once we managed to work out the best way to avoid the bone storm and who should kill the spikes. We one shot the lady and one shot lootship. Next was Saurfang, best try was around 13% or so then it fell apart and he healed due to someone dying due to lack of healing. The way things are going Saurfang is going down next week(Still in this reset) I am confident We will get Rot and Fester too.

Bloodwing is easy compared to festergut & rotface. If I were in your spot I'd 'skip' saurfang and clear blood wing (free 264 token from bloodqueen), dreamwalker, and festergut/rotface.

Are you guys doing Hard Modes and the Lich King? I'm looking to transfer one of my chars soon. What times do you raid?

I'm not sure about Elliot's guild but I mine is looking for a well geared and experienced (read: 277 in almost every slot) feral druid. We raid from about 8:00 until around 11:30-12:00 PST on Tuesday nights and then again sometime later in the week (days are sort of picked on the fly: Wednesday, Thursday or Monday). Typically 2 nights a week is what you expect for our 25-man raids - maybe an hour or two on a third day if we just plain suck at clearing all the farm content up to Lich King.

So that would be about... 10 CST until 1:30 - 2:00am? Might be kind of late for me. I currently have a very well geared DK Unholy but I'm looking to swap to my newly leveled Warlock and just stick with it for as long as I play the game. Anyone raids about from 8:30pm CST to 11:30pm CST? Would love to join a nice guild and progress, guilds here in Ragnaros are too cocky or simply can't use their brain in simple fights. :(

I said PST meant EST: I was thinking of the wrong ocean so that'd be around 7-11 give or take.

My guild is full of stubborn people they will not skip him on normal they wanna down him lol. Personally i think the issue was the blood beasts dying too slow however we took a sub par team due to one of our higher dps having to work :( He can make it on Tuesday so it will be good attempting him with a full strength team. I have not read into the mechanics of the bloodqueen fight I would assume she has a bit more health and requires more dps to down her, personally dont see this as an issue, i was smashing 22k dps on her last time we faced her on normal.

BQ is almost completely the same. The only difference is she does more damage and has more health.

Saurfang just takes good DPS to do. The health is a good bit to chew through, and the blood beasts will completely screw you up. Slows are a must on them (DKs throwing their Chains of Ice on them helps a lot), and it's good to have a knockback (Ele Shaman or Boomkin) on either side just in case.
