    No pet battle updates?

    I was in the beta wandering around when I noticed that not one zone went above level 25 for pet levels. So I gotta ask, are we not getting at least a level increase in the pets?

    Why do you need increased pet level?

    There's 2 major points in pet battles: collecting and pvp batles (no pve because AI suck), so...

    * Collecting - is 25th level not enough for your collection? did you level all 500+ pets to level 25? I'm sure there's more new pets in WOD, you won't get bored if leveling is all your interest.

    * pvp batles - pvp is not about levels, it's about luck (which team you will fight against) and how you can handle it

    I'll ask again - Why do you need increased pet level?

    Because its an increase in level? Its an update to it. Why just throw it to the way side? I don't compete in PvP battles, so to me that is a mute point. Collecting is fun, but so is leveling. It would also help make the past pet battles content like the tourney more easily doable.

    So I shall ask you this - Why not increase the levels by like 5?

    It IS easy. If you get proper team. Or did you mean "easy" like roflstomping level 10 pet trainer with your level 25 pet? Sorry, not gonna happen.

    Not gonna happen because you say so? Answer the question. Why not at least add 5 levels or give the leveling some sort of love. Besides, most people I talked to say the tourney is more or less toss a wall of 25's at it.

    i was hoping for a few more levels, but only so i have a reason to do random pet battles for a while after i capture all the new ones. but i can deal with there not being any levels, not the end of the world. i do hope they add in another tournament, and is there new pet tamers to battle?

    Haven't seen anything pet battle wise personally. I haven't looked either. There is a quest in your garrison to battle a few pets. I just noticed that all of the zones were marked as being for level 25 pets. Disappointed me since I wanted like 5 more levels so I have more tamers at higher ranks to fight.

    Seems there are new ones

    I so agree with you, leveling all those pets more is going to be a pain in the backside and really not needed

    But for those who enjoy leveling, they get no content.

    As someone with nearly all the pets in the game and about half of the collection on level 25, I do not think we need increased level cap whatsoever. Epic quality, and possibly legendary, sure. More quests like Beasts of Fable, Pandaren Spirits or Celestial Tournament, sure, and that is exactly what we're getting.

    http://warcraftpets.com is a great site if you are interested in pet battles, and Quintessence has several forum topics on all the new pets/tamers in WoD.

    Who are these people?
    Yes it is hard if you go at it that way but it is rather easy if you have the right team set up for each boss in there.
    It is a thing called strategy.
    No need for more pet levels 25 is plenty for now are all your pets leveled?
    What about the few hundred or so we will get from WoD we will be plenty busy.

    Ain't leveling 50 pets to level 30 or 35.

    You are lucky to have just 50.

    OP, really, growing pet battles by adding more pets / trainers is loads better than growing them by adding 5 more levels. I understand you might have problems with CT, but, first, these problems are solvable, because CT is PVE and so all battles are scripted - CT is *very* easy with the right pets, and, second, new pets added in WoD will only make it better, some of the CT encounters might be made trivial by WoD pets (like, for example, Yu'la, which can be pretty much *soloed* by Clock'em already).

    Considering I have over 600 unque pets and leveled up every one that is possible to level I don't want to level up 20 more cockroaches or 15 different rabbits 5 more levels again.
    I would rather get new pets, new pet battle tamers to fight and some sort of new CT to do than mindless leveling.

    Also the gregarious grell can solo yulon and a fox pet with speed burst for team and howl with a spider with brittle webbing and spider burst move can take down xuen and the ox or a team of raptors with black claw and hunting party .

    With some strategy the CT is easy

    I agree 100%.

    Here's an analogy: adding 5 more levels to pets would be like adding another tier to *existing* archeology achievements - where we currently have "Collect 5 of X" and "Collect 20 of X", there'd be now also "Collect 50 of X". Just thinking about that gives me shivers... so not wanting that at all.

    Honestly, there isn't anything to update, aside from adding more pets, abilities and tournaments possibly.

    Amazing sig, done by mighty Lokann
