Comments on: Where I do my Mania impression http://thebigbearbutt.com/2008/10/02/where-i-do-my-mania-impression/ Feral Druids in World of Warcraft Sun, 12 Feb 2012 05:51:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rayvynn http://thebigbearbutt.com/2008/10/02/where-i-do-my-mania-impression/comment-page-1/#comment-10311 Rayvynn Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:14:07 +0000 http://thebigbearbutt.com/2008/10/02/where-i-do-my-mania-impression/#comment-10311 I have to add, dear sir, that this bug is also apparently on the Bloodmaul Dire Wolf. I trained one yesterday on my hunter alt for raiding purposes (oh, Furious Howl <3). I had little ol' wolfy out whilst trying to grind out the elusive bracer enchant found in the same area, and all of a sudden my guild mate says on vent: "Your pet is huge!" Very confused, I eloquently reply, "What?" Their surprised reply back; "I couldn't tell if I was targeting your wolf or the ogre's wolf! He got huge and his name changed!" So, there you have it, the bug exists not only with Rema, but our wonderful Bloodmaul Dire Wolves as well. Now, if only I could see this change myself... By the way, as a first time poster, I do have to commend you sir, for writing one of the most entertaining and informative (Feral) Druid blogs out there. I traipsed on over from Resto4Life weeks ago (oh Tree Form, how I love thee) , and have had you bookmarked from the first post I read.

A lot of lag, godly amounts of lag. I've had that happen to my Lynx, and seen it happen to a boar and a handful of others.

I think King Mukla (the Gorilla) has the same problem. I was in PTR testing AoE/Thunderstomp/Volley grinding with King Mukla (it is awesome, by the way - took me 2 hrs. to level him from 65-70) and someone whispered "WTF, he is HUGE AS A HOUSE, where did you get him?" I had no idea what he was talking about since he seemed normal to me......must be the same bug. LOL! I think King Mukla (the Gorilla) has the same problem.

For me it would have to be that other guy you mentioned. He pretty much single handedly pulled me out of the depths of huntardy. Mind you I was looking for the information and would have found it eventually, but that was the place where i found out how to play well with others, and I will always appreciate it. Actually its a lot like this place for my feral druid, thanks :D Yeah i think i know what you mean. For me it would have to be that other guy you mentioned.

Both are on my feedreader, and I read them all the time. However, when I was sad and alone, and my Hunter was lost in the dark, it was Mania whose light showed me the way. There can be many great hunter blogs... but there can only be one that gave you that first big push towards hunter happiness. And for me, Petopia was that website (and blog).

Petopia is the first site I go to for hunter pet knowledge as well. As for being the ultimate hunter reference, she herself admits she is more focused on pets than general huntery stuff. On the hunter specific side my recommendation would be Less QQ More PewPew www.qqpewpew.com/ . And she actually has a pretty strong rival for hunter pets as well at The Mystic Hunter themystichunter.wordpress.com/ Znodis there has spent countless hours leveling one of each pet family to 70 and reviewing it for his site. If you want an idea of which pet is best for soloing, instancing, or pvp, that is an excellent place to go (at least in the 2 weeks we have before he needs to do all the reviews again).

And she sees it all the time on my (normal) wolf. Neither were that big when we tamed them. Screenshots or it didn't happen? *sigh* Alright.

I'm not sure if that's on live or in beta/PTR, but I think I heard about it on live. Apparently the same bug also strikes some Outland raptors.

I come here and then link out to a few other blogs (that other guy included) pretty much daily. Do her a solid and get her in there! So why isn’t mania linked? =P
