mount UI: filters and random mount button!

Yay, I've been wanting both of those for a while! Here's a link to the wowinsider article about it: http://wow.joystiq.com/2014/03/06/warlo ... nt-button/

Edit: Oops, maybe should have put in WoD forum, my bad...

Awesome, it's like a tiny built in GupPet! :)

Neat. If they do a mini pet one too I don't think I'd need GupPet anymore :lol:

I have some pet macros for you!

/randompet
will summon a random pet from all your pets

/randomfavoritepet
will summon a random pet from your favorites

/run C_PetJournal.SummonRandomPet(random(0, 1) == 1)
will do /randompet about half the time, and /randomfavoritepet the other half!

what I like about my pet/mount addon (Livestock) is that with one button I can summon a land mount, or a flying mount (simply by adding a modifier key).

so in my case, "-" summons a zone-appropriate mount, normally flying mount. But alt + "-" summons a specifically ground mount. I like this because it allows me to use random flying mounts where applicable, or "force" the use of my 2-person mount (which happens to function as a ground mount/flying mount) by pressing alt.

I doubt I will do away with Livestock. I'd be surprised if Blizz's new mount feature achieves the same results.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.

We'll have to see. Hopefully they will add some nice mount macro commands as well.

Yeah, GupPet is the same, and I also really like that it gives me extra buttons on their own little movable interface so I don't have to take up one of the default ones.

It's nice to see Blizzard adding this, but in all likelihood I'll stick with my addon for convenience. :)
