Hortus has posted several interesting replies on the WoW Public Test Realm forum today about Growl threat in Patch 2.4.2. Before we look at those responses, though, let’s sum up what’s been said so far.
First, the 2.4.2 Test Realm Patch Notes were posted, and included the note that “The pet ability Growl will no longer scale with pet Attack Power.”
I’ve added the new dragonhawks from the Isle of Quel’Danas to Petopia. None of them can be tamed, but at least they are pretty to look at! I also went ahead and added the Dire Raven, with a note that it will apparently be tameable in 2.4.2. The Dire Raven hadn’t even appeared on Petopia before because without being able to tame it, we didn’t know which family it might be part of.
Final Name: Beanpole
Today we have a letter from Aaranay of Uldaman:
Dear Mania & Fellow Mania’s Arcania Readers:
I really enjoy reading the ‘Name That Pet’ segment because I am so terrible at coming up with names for my pets. I usually have to rely on my friends to suggest names for me, which I think they are probably getting tired of doing (I am picky, so it’s rare I hear a pet name that I like within the first try or two). A bit about me …
The Test Realm Patch Notes for Patch 2.4.2 have been updated, although I have not seen an update to the PTR itself. The previous hunter items are still listed, and additions include:
Hunters
In addition, this little note has been moved from Bug Fixes to Hunter, although — alas! — it has not been further clarified in the notes:
As the title implies, my little dwarf hunter Kaet has just hit level 66. I’ve been playing her lackadaisically — an hour here, two hours there — but rested XP plus the tight quest design in Outland has really made the levels fly. I’m out of rested XP now, though, so I figure it’s time for a report and then a short vacation.
