Classes Pages, Hunter Pet UI, Western Plaguelands

[Boubouille]

Class Pages Update
The bug you experienced with the class pages (or any other "big" pages) are now fixed. Masteries are gone for the moment and have been replaced with the Primary Skills of each spec.

Also, during the fix/upgrade of the site yesterday we introduced a special feature to make the forums more active: your posts are now randomly posted twice when you hit the Submit button! (Translation: Yeah, known bug, will fix today)


Hunter - Cataclysm Pet/Stable Interface
The Call Stabled Pet has been revamped in Cataclysm.

• You can now have 5 active pets and 20 inactive pets.
• You can swap between your active pets at any time without any cooldown. The only restriction is to be out of combat.
• To change your active/inactive pets, you have to visit a Stable Master in the nearest town.

Sadly, the feature is currently heavily bugged on beta realms and you will have to wait the next build to give it a try.

Western Plaguelands in Cataclysm
The Western Plaguelands are now ready for testing on the Beta realm and it's definitely one of the zone that will make rerolling interesting in the expansion. Blizzard changed the zone completely and familiar faces are now in charge of the Alliance and Horde settlements.

Scholomance was also changed and you will probably go through it at least once to do all the quests. What? You don't want to do all the prereqs just to get the instance quests? Don't worry, they're all at the entrance of the instance now. The instance itself didn't change too much, monsters are now level 4x.

And it looks like the RSS feed hates me now.

[allakaboom]

first! i F5 sooo many times to get that first... lol

[Jindujun]

wow... that artwork on the left looks good apart from the fact that it says "DOTA ALLSTARTS"

[Brattak]

I think Araj is like "WTF is going on in my town? oO"

[Deleted]

Still didnt show the new party frames.

[Panoramixe]

And no "gotta catch 'em all!" achievement yet for hunters?
And from an altoholic point of view these class changes rock my socks.

Yeah, why is he still there? o_o
Seeing as you bring your commanding officer a shard from his phylactery it would appear as if you actually destroy it when you finish the quest so why is he still around?

One would assume, that those questgivers in Scholomance are there stacked at the entrance just for the testing purposes. Seems a bit odd to have them all lined up there.

Or it is how it is meant to be in the end and just serves all those lazy players around (

[Vasz]

nvm I didn't read it right.

[Halibell]

WPL looks very impressive

[nameUNKNOWN]

This is how it is now. I've seen pics of RFC where all the quest givers are inside the instance

Stratholme as well. Although the biggest improvement with Strath is that they've got rid of those piggin gates on the instance portals. Seriously, who thought they were a good idea?

[WaitingforSWTOR]

So, Thassarian is now part of Alliance and Koltira is Hordie? Wjat about Mr Morgraine and the other Khights of the Ebon Hold?

[sulfuric]

Thanks for giving us scholomance again blizzard! I'll just put that next to Naxxramus and Onyxia.

[Deleted]

How come Koltira is red? I thought he was on Horde side and it's not like Boub would play fluffy Alliance.

[Unferth]

Awesome, no more orange and red colored Plaguelands, they are so blech the way they look now.
Regarding the fan art: Anime is to art as McDonald's is to food.
