Pet of the Week: Hook Wasps

6 Comments
Hook wasps were originally slated to be in their own Exotic Pet family, but Blizzard later decided to just merge them with regular wasps. I can only hope the special ability they were going to have, Flutter, will make it into the rylak repertoire or some other pet family in the future. I've always … Continue Reading ››

WoD Beta: Adventures in Gorgrond gallery

2 Comments
I recently leveled from 92-94 in Gorgrond, and I really enjoyed this zone. The mix of lush jungle and desolate badlands makes it interesting because the scenery is always changing. It feels like there's multiple zones in just one. There's lots of little nooks and crannies to explore, mountains to climb, and big trophy mobs … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Flying Rylaks

11 Comments
It's going to be hard to top last week's pet, but today we're taking a lot at another new pet from Warlords of Draenor. The Twinbreath Skystalker is part of the new rylak family, or at least it's supposed to be. For now it's just classified as a chimaera until they add … Continue Reading ››

New hunter pets in Shadowmoon Valley

4 Comments
Shadowmoon Valley had a wider variety of tameable pets than Frostfire Ridge did (a lot of the ones in Frostfire weren't yet flagged as tameable on the alpha). Some of the ones in Shadowmoon still can't be tamed, but that'll be fixed in time. Is your stable full? You might want to make room for some … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Echidnian Hydra

These lumbering beasts wander the shallows of the Nightmarsh in Shadowmoon Valley. Hydras are one of the 3 new hunter pet families being added in Warlords of Draenor, the others being Rylaks and Riverbeasts, which I'll feature shortly. Hydras bring the Keen Senses (mastery) buff. There's a little bit of a bug … Continue Reading ››

WoD Alpha Huntering: Day 1

9 Comments
I've been in betas before, but never in something as early as a F&F alpha. I'm used to betas basically being finished products, minus some balancing or minor issues. This is a lot different from what I'm used to. A good deal of my time is filling in bug reports or crash reports it seems, … Continue Reading ››

Hook Wasps are joining the Wasp family, Rylaks will be exotic

4 Comments
The previously announced Hook Wasp exotic pets are going to be folded into the regular Wasp family and will no longer be exotic. Replacing them as the new exotic family in Warlords will be the Rylaks. If you're wondering what a Rylak is, it's the same thing as an Iron Skyreaver mount (minus the rocket … Continue Reading ››
