Almost forgot the obligatory screenshot.

Wished I'd remembered somewhere interesting, like in front of Loken's throne.

Grats Elder!

Quite a victory over Loken, Kysen!

Dual spec feature info:

Of particular note is a new gear manager feature being worked on, and their solution to the problem of BM Hunters switching specs and losing their exotic, which is to provide Hunters with a long-cooldown ability that lets them access their stable remotely.

Got a candy bag last night and got 6/8 for the achievement, and then Blizz buffed the drop rate of the bags overnight, so I got another one.

4/7 for the Drake! Too bad Brewfest takes a full year because of Brew of the Month...

Nice - congrats!

I haven't gotten any petals or candy, and I've failed rockets twice now.

Drop rates are weird - Storm got a dress and Nixxe got a basket, but some of the little things that are supposed to have a high drop rate are MIA.

Edit: Update - five dresses, one bag of candy, no petals.

Edit again: SIX dresses.

And I didn't even join Brew of the Month, so it's going to be a looong time for me.

But that's okay, I have a nice dragon mount, and one of these days I'll have Rivendare's horse.

One of these days, Rivendare.

Everything has been bugged for me today. Here's the only one that wasn't annoying:

Big download?

Post by **Sorus** » Tue Feb 24, 2009 11:52 pm

Hmm... not as many changes as I had expected.

The real question - what will I do if this can be tamed?

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 7:26 am

They've not pushed out all the changes yet, there are some classes that only got a few small changes released.

Post by **Sorus** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 5:14 pm

Good to know.

Wouldn't want to think they'd 'forgotten' about beastmasters being over-nerfed, though the main thing I'm interested in hearing about is the new pet talents they mentioned awhile back.

Some nice new crafted items, especially in leatherworking. Engineers get a useless level 49 item.

Hard to tell, but I don't think mounts affect your swim speed.

Post by **Sorus** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 6:28 pm

Is that on the PTR?

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 7:39 pm

Yeah. Not much to see if you're not getting into Ulduar tests, unfortunately. But, they've only released part of the changes, so maybe it'll get more interesting.
Took me half an hour per character to log in and get out of Dalaran last night... Once in Darn and Exodar, things went smoothly enough.

These patch notes have been updated recently with some changes that haven't gone live yet.

Pets now inherit more spell hit from the hunter. Pets with magic attacks should not require a player to stack additional hit compared to pets with physical attacks.

Finally.

Thunderstomp is no longer a gorilla-specific family ability and is now available to all Tenacity pets. It has been reduced to one rank.

Hmm... I'm tempted to copy myself to the PTR.

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 4:54 pm

If you do, grab all the money from the guild bank before copying. The copy was almost instant for me so you can put it back pretty mcuh straight away.

Post by **Sorus** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 6:06 pm

Good idea, thanks - I wouldn't have thought of that.

Post by **I'm Murrin** » Fri Mar 06, 2009 11:15 pm

If you don't want to find out some of the very, very interesting stuff surrounding the Yogg-Saron encounter in Ulduar (final boss of the new raid instance), stay away. These are the datamined sound files from the PTR, the person who put them together added notes on what's being talked about.
