Looks like Patch 2.2.0 is finally going to make it live tomorrow! Or so implies Nethaera on the WoW forums:
There is currently a known issue with fishing where players in some ocean areas are unable to catch fish. The areas are limited to ocean waters in the 40-50 level range, including places like Feralas and Tanaris. Fishing nodes will still function normally.
This will be fixed with the 2.2 patch tomorrow.
I can’t wait for dashing raptors and a level 70 ravager.
Shortly before I went away for two weeks, I posted a little rant about a statement Drysc made regarding how a new faster leveling curve will affect hunters and their pets.
Several people (including bulldazhor in this comment and Zeemboka of Moonrunner, in e-mail) let me know that while I was gone, Drysc posted another short note on the topic of pet leveling — and this one sounds a bit more hopeful. Drysc said:
I have arrived! And Florida is even hotter and wetter than I remembered. (Both my husband and I were born and raised in Central Florida, so this area is no surprise to us. But we left here about seven years ago to pursue our careers, and a couple of years in California will really spoil you climate-wise.) Also, it is oddly more Southern than I remember …
As I’ve mentioned a couple times now, my husband and I are moving cross-country, from San Diego, CA to Orlando, FL. The moving truck is here now and it’s time to load it up and start the long drive.
I will be out of touch for between one and two weeks, depending on how fast we get loaded, how fast we drive, and how fast we get settled in. During that time I may occasionally have access to e-mail and the web, but it is safe to say that I won’t be doing any major posting here or any changes to Petopia. I also can’t guarentee e-mail access, so it’s likely that if you e-mail me I won’t be able to respond until after the move is all over. But feel free to e-mail me still –just don’t expect a fast response. :>
I’m leaving comments open here because my regular readers are a font of information and answer questions well before I do anyway. *grin* Be nice to each other! Oh! Also … It seems likely that Patch 2.2 may launch before I am settled in, so I’ve updated Petopia with the info we know from Patch 2.2 (with appropriate notes about it being in Patch 2.2). But if you see someone confused about why Petopia says their raptor can learn Dash when it can’t, do me a favor and (politely!) let them know what’s going on. Thanks!
In-between packing for my cross-country move and searching for my husband’s escaped hamster, I spent some time this weekend continuing my research on loyalty. I now feel that I have a basic handle on what it takes for a hunter pet to gain a level of loyalty, although a good bit of verification remains to be done.
