See the front page for the latest notes.

'Hati's Bond (New) Hati will now fight for you as a companion. 100 yd range."

Well this should make some BM hunters Happy. I wonder where you get it from.

[Jeina]

They're lowering the level requirement for class hall mounts. Probably a good decision to not force people through the Broken Shore quest line.

[Trassk]

look at that loading screen, blizzard pretending they still give a shit about orcs.

Nice. I'm mid going through that on some alts right now. I'll hold off on the ones that aren't already done with Breaching the Tomb.

This is probably just some update on the old artifact weapon effect. Possibly keeping Hati around even with a de-powered artifact?

It would be a HUGE thing to suddenly keep double pet around for BM hunter in BFA, not something they would do at this point in the Beta. Too close to release for fundamental changes.

I wasn't talking about as a double Pet. I was moreso meaning as a literal Pet not an Artifact trait.

They have a talent that lets them have a double pet. It's called Animal Companion.

From these notes, I got a feeling they will nerf the gold providing items for companions.

[Aiasha]

Does my eyes deceive me? Demo lock buff? :O Niiiiiice

[Arkura]

PTR is changed from test to release now, I was wondering why no one has picked up on this yet! :O

[thunderdragon2]

the stuff reguarding the broken shore quest line is that for ALL the rewarrds or just the mounts?, also ptr classed as release since last thursay????????

[Coconut]

No change to the 400 mount achievement reward A double flip for Blizzard and the idiots who cried about the horse.

[zubaja]

Looks like the water elemental is less buff now. Dude was probably a sports-drink before.
Also, pretty nice to see the requirements for order-hall mounts being changed. Now I can focus on the order-hall quests and getting alts to max for the Mage Tower.

[Oriana]

Seriously??? Flame shock is needed again to make lava burst crit? And you don't remove CD on flameshock?

I didn't see anything about the order hall mount requirements. Can you paste the section about it please?

Pouch of Wonder Trait Grants 0 Gold when completing World Quests as a Combat Ally. Grants chance of an Artifact Power token when completing World Quests as a Combat Ally..
Shard of Twisting Nether Trait Grants 0 Order Hall Resources when completing World Quests as a Combat Ally. Grants chance of an Artifact Power token when completing World Quests as a Combat Ally..

Now hold on a minute, I get turning off the gold bonus, but people will still need Order Hall resources for Legion stuff, unless that's getting a nerf too

"Build 26970 will be deployed to the Beta realms soon. The PTR build is flagged as release."

Does that mean that 8.0 comes out next week or do we still think it's looking like the 17th?

Same question. Inquiring minds want to know.
