Tier 14 Paladin and Warlock Videos
Everything looks better in videos, I published 2 small video previews of the new T14 sets discovered last night.





Temple of the Jade Serpent Instance Preview
Our lovely Nik (watch our stream!) went through the Temple of the Jade Serpent instance currently available for testing and made a quick video preview of the instance! Now with more monsters, evil bosses, and comments!



Pet Battle System and Pet Journal Preview
Let's discuss the Pet Battle System and the upcoming Pet Journal! The features aren't really implemented on beta yet but datamining yielded a decent amount of data to work with! We also have a small video preview of the Pet Journal.



Hunting Wild Pets
Acquiring wild pets will be done by tracking them on your minimap, we don't really have details on the entire process/fight but some of those pets will be much rarer than the others. Spawn conditions could depend on the time of the day or the weather in the zone you're in!


However, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will spend forever browsing the web looking for spawn locations. The game will apparently include a convenient map to show you where you are likely to encounter a specific pet.



Pet Types
There is currently 10 pet types in the game. Each type can be strong or weak against another type, for example, Dragonkin attacks deal bonus damage to Flying companions and less damage to other Dragonkin and Water companions. All the details are in the pet skills chart below!



Pet Skills
We also have a (mostly) complete of pet skills as of today, keep in mind that this is early beta and the feature isn't even implemented yet. A lot of that stuff is likely to change.

    Paladin set looks immensley ugly, even the colours are shockingly foul. Hope they make it a bit more interesting and less visually assaulting.

    Does anyone else think that the LFR tier 14 set for paladins looks better than the normal & heroic counterparts?

    Other than that, bring on the pet battles!

    U know, I dont care what anyone says..I'm really excited about the pet battle system!! So what if it is like pokemon??thats freakin awesome!!! will bring back some memories from my old gameboy days! the lock and pally tier sets look awesome!!

    Wow. When I heard people saying "Great, now we have Pokemon in WoW " I figured they were just being drama queens, and it would just be a simple little system, nothing at all like Pokemon.

    Guess I was wrong.

    I know people were mostly joking when they said the pet battles were like pokemon, but now with their being types that are stronger against others there is literally pokemon.

    Damn that warlock set is sexy. *Best-looking lock tier gear in a while.

    haters gonna hate, but seriously bout time we had some pet battling in an MMO and no better MMO to do it then WoW.. so much destruction, death and war, sometimes it's just nice to kick back and watch your companion slaughter another persons companion... azerothian pride bro!

    Me neither but I'll still check it out. There's been plenty of things in WoW I wasn't interested in at first but once I tried them out they turned out to be more fun than I imagined. I imagine when people are waiting for dugeon or LFR queues this is what they're going to be doing which is better than nothing.

    As far as the lock and paladin sets go I actually like both of them I've seen much worse in the past.

    Well, it's not EXACTLY like Pokemon...

    Dragonkin isn't effective aginst Deagonkin.

    LOL @ Blizzard.

    It seems like this is MOP's focus. Please put more time in and effort into a useless mini-game nobody will give a $hit about.

    Speak for yourself. Pet Battles will be awesome! The rest of us will be enjoying World of Warcraft again, you can go ahead and fill out my missing spot in SW.

    Umm...I don't know where you go the impression they were doing anything other than Pokemon. Did you even read any of the news or see any screens? It's been Pokemon from day one.

    LOVE the Lock tier set! The first Pally set shown reminds me of the White Power Ranger lol.

    Wow the Paladin shoulder pads remind me of the Space Wolves chapter of WH 40k. Major thumbs up from me, despite some odd colour schemes.

    HAHA is it just me or the warlock red tier looks like nemesis from Resident evil 3?

    Pokemon... I knew it was coming, but man... I think I might be getting too old for this game now. I hate kids and given that 80% of the wow playerbase fits the description already, I can't imagine what it will be like after pokelol goes live and all the little shits get their mommies to get them an account so they can play poketards with the big boys. It's a shame, too, because I actually had high hopes for this xpac, but to finally see this load of steaming horse shit with my own eyes I think maybe I was mistaken.
