Those horrid outlines that appeared on the fur, I remember when it happened. They've never fixed them, it still bothers me to this day. It happens on other models as well, and is really noticeable in things like shadow form.

I'm trying to remember when, I think it had something to do with Cata' "new" lighting effects or the likes, but oddly enough it's almost looks like a masking issue. It really obvious on some models sadly

Based on the names of the first 3 bosses and the Sha of Pride being 4th, I'm assuming that the raid will start in the vale, then like Dragon Soul, we move to Orgrimmar.
Especially with the destruction of the Vale.
I do know if there's 2 separate raids, I will be going full on complaint mode until I get an official response about 5 mans, due to the hypocrisy that's been going on lately. If it's one single raid, I'll be nice and let it slide, but 2 and will be zee last straw. (Yes, I know I said this on the last page. It irks me they add no new 5 mans, then constantly add hypocritical ways they violate their own reasoning)
That said, the beautiful Vale. ;_;

Thanks for digging up that thread! I knew it was around here somewhere.

So yea, I just visited the vale on the PTR, I don't know if this is just a ptr bug but...It isn't pretty....

That doesn't seem to be a bug. Looks like something big happened.

I just hope Portent isn't too affected by this change... I'm currently hunting him down in these conditions...

It looks to me like wow is building their game less and less around really casual players and more and more around PvP and large guilds which have a raid schedule...
i do love wow for the hunter class and but tbh... i feel less appriciated as a casual player in a 2 person guild with no desire for normal raids... i just want to quest, and do achivement which i can do solo... i dont care if it takes along time to do.. aka the insane title... as long as i can do them solo.
If WoW keeps this up im afraid i will have to look for a new game... i feel sadden that they nerf bm and stampeede... i understand the pvp issues but why couldn´t they just scale that in pvp then....
ugh have a empty feeling inside

Friendly reminder: Portent STILL doesn't care that Garrosh is in the Vale, even if he is Sha-infested.

I stumbled upon this link a midst a discussion on what will come of the golden lotus faction after the destruction of the vale:
https://twitter.com/Ghostcrawler/status ... 5687974912
I'm not sure how it's going to play out yet but for anyone who HASN'T grinded Golden Lotus to exalted for the cranes but still wants them it might be a good idea to do that. I want to think they wont be removing the faction from game entirely but better safe than sorry right? GC could mean something else entirely, like that rep wont be required at all for that 489 gear anymore. I'm sure we'll find out soon what happens with the faction, though.
People also mentioned the possibility that grinding for the Alani mount will be difficult or impossible after 5.4 launches. Again, we'll find out for sure soon but if it's something you really want it might be a good idea to get on that.

XD Thanks, that gives me hope that he's out there.

Solo play is usually very forgiving. Even if the changes are ultimately a net nerf, I seriously doubt they'll impede your questing and achieving. But also remember this is the early PTR and hunters could be adjusted 20 more times before 5.4 comes out. It's a bit premature to be 'feeling empty'

Can't find Portent at the moment, they might have moved him, also did a small check on Hydras, they are still untamable.

But 536 seems low for flex, when it's supposed to be in between LFR and Normal if normal is 553.
That may be a hint of the difficulty level.
Then that means the i level 600 capes we get from the Wrathion quests will still be good well into SoO.

They outright said the capes will last you the expansion when they were released, lol.

PSA Regarding the Golden Lotus Quest Mobs
You know that achievement that requires killing certain bosses in the Vale? They appear to be rare spawns in 5.4, so that will still be available.

Why can't we have pretty places in WoW? Why must Blizz raze every beautiful environment aside from Moonglade (hopefully they don't decide to trash that place), Feralas (also hoping they don't trash that place any more than they already did with places like Feathermoon Stronghold) and restored central Hyjal?
