Where the Wild Things Are (MoP rare information) (8/30/12)
Kalliope updated the rare beast info thread with videos for Bristlespine and Stompy. She also noted the discovery that reducing liquid detail to fair makes tracks hidden underwater easier to see.
LupisDarkmoon noticed that hyenas have a new running animation. This prompted Wassa to discover that all hyena animations have been changed; now their heads remain low, rather than raising up.
Unofficial Bug Reports / Changes for 5.0.4 (8/28/12)
Equeon‘s thread compiles a number of bug reports from hunters around the forum, mostly hunter-specific ones, but a good number of general bugs as well. Highlights include “missing” ranged weapons, stacking druid stags, and misplaced warlock horns.
Boven kicked off a discussion about ranged weapon sizes in proportion to different races and genders. Some are tiny, others are massive.
Petopia Corrections – Current Patch Only (8/29/12)
Mania made a number of corrections to the Petopia site as well as updating it for 5.0.4.
Major threat issues with tenacity pets (8/30/12)
Aquillian reported that his tenacity pets weren’t holding aggro after the patch, later discovering that the problem is linked to the Endless Wrath glyph; if the hunter uses BW, the mobs ignore the pet as though it died.
PetEmote Addon – New shiny things (8/30/12)
Jessibelle and Varethyn tossed in some quilen ideas and Equeon suggested a minor spirit beast change. A debate over the verbs describing water strider and sporewalker sounds spawned a number of possible emotes. On the technical side, Efindel announced that he updated PetEmote for 5.0.4 and included the most recent custom emotes from Teigan‘s initial post in the thread.
