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.

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. :)
