Players may now participate in pet battle duels while in the Throne of Thunder instance.

This may be the best thing in the history of WoW.

Spoiler: show

half my raid is going to decide this is the worst thing in the history of WoW

LFR 5.2 Edition: 1/5 of the raid not-ready due to pet battles

[Plow]

also pet battle lesser charms are insanely amazing, get em while they're hot that shit's gonna get nerfed lol

[Korialstrasz]

That's not all that's amazing about them now. You can also get flawless [pet family] battle stones + exp from pvp pet battles. At level 40ish my wife was getting around 10k exp per battle, in the 80s we were getting roughly 40k+. Extra emphasis on the pvp part, since if you do it right, the battles only take a couple of seconds at best :D

coming in 5.3

Players can now choose to receive loot for a specialization that's different from their current class role. This feature could be accessed by right-clicking on the character portrait and selecting the option from the drop-down list. Loot specialization is available for bonus rolls, Raid Finder, and Pandarian quest rewards.

So happy. Can finally gear my tank while DPS'ing

[Plow]

That is cool. Also, I was right, charms from pet battles got nerfed hard as fuck.

It's now about the same rate, maybe slightly slower, than getting them from dailies. I still definitely prefer it cuz I fucking hate dailies with a passion.

Was amazing getting a couple weeks worth in an hour at first, though lol.

[Guitarman]

What was it before the nerf? I went and did battles for the first time for about 10 min, got something like 25 charms

[Plow]

You got some crazy luck then, heh.

Basically, for the first few days I was getting 5-6 charms more than 50% of fights. Now I get a lot of 2-4 while 5/6 are fairly rare, and it's more like 20% for anything at all.


I did the first 2 weeks worth of charms in less than an hour the first day, now a week's worth is taking about 2 hours.

Can't say I've seen too many addon april fools jokes, let alone full UI ones. And that is one extremely popular ui mod.

[Clemz]

Yeah, I use it myself, I thought it was pretty funny, and if not for the yell I absolutely wouldn't have minded it. Luckily I saw it before I logged in today and deleted the line that activated it.

Found this while messing around before Ji-Kun tonight. Turns out blizz got to do a little something extra for Easter this year:

[Plow]

Technically not MoP but...

random guy on twitter:

@Ghostcrawler Please don't take away dodge and parry in the next expac off gear. Please

GC response:

@Berlioz97 Why? What is fun about it as a stat on gear?

Thank god. I was convinced they were going to keep up this bullshit they're doing now of trying (and horribly failing) to make us actually want them.

[Meph]

theyve already moved crit-immune to base spec, might aswell move over dodge/parry, or something like it

[Meresgi]

So WoW is doing server merges in 5.4 but...not calling them server merges and not actually merging them; aka deleting 1/2 the servers. What is the point of keeping ALL the server names but then coupling 2 servers together to be a single server other then confusing people?

[Krandor]

If they don't call it a server merge they can pretend that they're not currently hemorrhaging costumers.

[Korialstrasz]

I'd imagine being able to keep your name is a huge plus for a lot of people, rather than possibly being forced to change it.

Garrosh doesn't look like a fun last boss

Last phase seems a bit tense due to the whirlwind damage flying everywhere and the inability to stack efficiently due to defiles but otherwise I hope heroic mode makes it an epic fight.

Yeah was watching the vid on mmo-champ because I was bored this morning and it looks pretty...eh. I havnt raided MoP since the initial raids do not sure how ToT or LightningMoguMan were in terms of entertainment but I heard decent things here and there.

I'm sure people like druidboomzqt and warriorsmashqt will all be very upset

[Plow]

raids have been pretty damn good this xpac barring some overtuning here and there


I would say the biggest flaw has been trying to fakely make single tank fights into 2 tank fights with debuffs, and the hilarity of then leaving those debuffs removable.
