Somehow this little guy stayed hidden for the majority of the PTR, but the contest ran by … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Iron Warwolf

Disclaimer: This pet was found on the patch 6.2 PTR and is subject to change. Wow, it's been a while since we had one of these. Now that we're starting to get new pets again, I thought it was time to resurrect this feature. Actually, this is the only new pet I've found so far on the … Continue Reading ››

How Blizzard could bring back Hunter pet loyalty

52 Comments
Hunter pets back in vanilla were convoluted by today's standards. You couldnt' simply tame a pet and use it. You had to worry about several things:
  1. Pets did not level up to your level. If you were level 60 and tamed a level 10 pet, you would have to manually level them up. Very slowly, since … Continue Reading ››

The reality is, we have a crapton of pets to choose from. There's not much reason to beg for more, but hey, Muffinus asked! The same designer responsible … Continue Reading ››

8 Comments
If you didn't know, YouTube recently introduced support for 60fps videos. You obviously need to upload the video in 60fps for this to work, and YouTube also seems very picky with the encode settings, but once it works it's pretty cool! It only works in the Google Chrome browser (or IE11 if you enable … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Druids in Travel Form

17 Comments
Blizzard finally gave into our demands and made druids tameable. The catch is you can only tame them in their travel form. So if you were hoping for a kitty or bear druid, you're out of luck (for now). A druid in travel form is part of the Stag family once tamed and brings the versatility … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Spirit of Atha

10 Comments
Hail Hydra! That seems to be the hunter mantra of the week. Everywhere I go, I see hunters sporting their newly tamed hydras. Arguably one of the coolest is Spirit of Atha, the ghost hydra. This isn't the first time I've tamed this elusive beast. I was one of those who tamed … Continue Reading ››
