Request - Mania's spreadsheet mentions a spiky raptor in the goblin starting zones. Can you go check those out please? If its' the one in the art they posted, it will be the first thing I tame in Cata. Thx!

edit - one more request - can you check the spot for the rare-spawn silithid in southern thousand needles? it's the bug area there SW corner of shimmering flats. the released artwork makes it look like it might be flooded.

Why? Why did they have to skimp out on modeling a new raptor?

Thank you so much for checking! Even if the results weren't what we were hoping for, it's good to know.

It is possible that the outlandraptors are just placeholders.

Oh yeah, I'd love to see what the new flyable Undercity looks like.

And I think the mastiff fans would appreciate a drive-by of the WPL, where the new mastiff is. :D

OMG PANTHER MOUNT! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SAY THAT'S OBTAINABLE ON A PERMANENT BASIS IN SOME MANNER, SHAPE, OR FORM! *beg*

Okay, I know, it's probably not, but MAN, if I could have *ONE* cat mount, that would be it. Period.

LOVE the Brax screenie! xD

the panther mount was just a little fun thing they did for a quest. i doubt it is gonna be a permanent mount.

Dammit. Exactly as I figured. xD Thanks, Gala; I needed to have that tiny bubble of hope shattered! (I mean that in all seriousness; I really doubt Blizz would ever put that mount back in the game.)

That would be nice to re-introduce those old epic mounts in a new way. I was never around when they were.

Would you mind getting me some updates on the new 1-5 process fir the old races? Actually, can I put that as a request for all of you beta-people? Not? Well screw you. The request is there. Now deal with it.

Can you be more specific? like are you looking for quests or the feel, is a pet you can't control a liability?

The orcish start feels the same, but they did change the quests around and added some that makes the Valley of Trials feel less isolated, but conencted with the rest of durotaur. i'd complain that when they teach you about Steady shot, you don't have Hawk, so it doesn't regen any focus kind of spoiling the message of the quest, and since you can't tell the pet to stop attacking the dummy, you can't equip your new reward until you run off and the pet vanishes.

It's the first phase of the beta it needs work, what do you want to know?
