Patch 4.2
« on: June 10, 2011, 09:40:03 AM »
Latest PTR Build has a release in the title which means we can expect to see 4.2 hit in the next few weeks. Some are predicting 21st June.

99% sure that it will be the 21st, due to the Arena Season ending, past patches proved that Blizz releases patches then, so only some major sudden bug could delay it.

Aye this info is given some weight by the fact it is on the MMOChamp front page, it's highly credible.

The item should be restricted to druids to be honest. Either that or set hunters' pets on fire as well :)

Just watched the trailer and some of those boss skins in Firelands are awesome.

4.2 dropped (and servers got online early) the daily hub is protected by a small quest chain (+-20 mins) + 2 dailies that you need to do in total of 3 days. So if you start today you will be able to reach the real quest hub by friday. Have fun everyone :)

And don't forget to pick up the Thrall quest line at the portal hub in SW before you go to Hyjal.

BEST. PATCH. EVER.

Why?

Not because of the daily quests. Not because of the firelands. Not because of the Thrall quest line.

No - hunter pets don't despawn anymore when you mount up.  :D

I'm happy. So is Spike.

'bout time too, I missed having my Pet running along beside me, or more amusingly trying to follow when flying.

Would still like de-spawning when flying to be honest, pets unrealistically shooting up the sides of mountains and through all manner of terrain will look a bit silly, but it's hardly important.  It's still a nice change.

I would prefer some kind of pet carrier for flying mounts or perhaps animation of your pet being carried.

I think they are in fact despawning as soon as you take off, but I may be wrong. It's nothing more or less what hunters have been asked for ever since that stupid change was implemented.  :D

I can imagine some pets would get fed up with following flying mounts and just go off and do their own thing, could be quite embarrassing trying to coax them out of trees lakes....

You are quite right Arekh, I just checked to see if my cat was following me and it does de-spawn for flying mounts.

There are three vendors at the end of the daily quest grind who sell very nice recipes and iLevel 365 epics for gold, takes 41 days to unlock all three from the date you start doing the dailies. Fortunately, unlike ToC, there are a wide variety of dailies.
