Shadowmoon Valley gallery

4 Comments
Shadowmoon Valley was open briefly on the alpha realms today. I got maybe 20 minutes of actual gameplay amongst the constant disconnections, but I was screenshotting constantly because it's an amazing looking zone. In terms of visuals, Frostfire Ridge isn't in the same league, if you ask me. These shots were only taken from a … 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.

I've safely landed in Draenor! Lots of huntery alpha coverage will be coming soon. I didn't get things setup until very late tonight, but I did do a few quests and tamed my first two new pets (a savager ravager and one of the new boars) before I had to force myself to go … Continue Reading ››

Hunter changes in Warlords alpha build 18379

Leave a comment
Not too many changes to report here, though Celestalon did say this build was created in the middle of them adding a lot of changes, which is why some classes got more than others. Hunters were one of the classes missing out for this build.

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 ››
