Legion Alpha/Beta - datamined info

[Shingetsu]

Haha, Crispin looks lovely.

Haha, Crispin looks lovely.

Reminds me a bit Fred from The Penguins of Madagascar. What's kinda nice.

I know, I know, datamining, but a negative speed of Zoom? Is it to make [ability]Charge[/ability] broken?
Also: [ability]Acidic Goo[/ability] + Slow and Steady = a roasted undead. But that needs a mudslide weather to play it properly…

New Alpha build (21154)

Not much in the way of updates so far. Perculia found a new vendor in the Dalaran Sewers that sells the Purple Jelly pet for 50 Sightless Eye coins.

The trouble is that everyone's auto-flagged for PVP in the sewers. I predict I'll be running back to my body at least a dozen times trying to get this pet lol.

[Paladance]

Do you know if class halls are instanced or not?
And if so, is it inside or outside the rogues' hideout?

If that currency is a Legion Bloody Coin… my realm would be a sad place once again.

[Quintessence]

I'm pretty sure class halls are instanced, and no, I don't believe the vendor is inside the rogue hall. It's out in the open, where world PVP occurs.

The coins seem to be from random treasure that's found in the sewers? There was mention of a special mob you can kill too, but I haven't really looked into it/tested it all that much. PVP (and PVP areas) just aren't my thing

[Sunborne]

Perculia will probably scout that area since she can stealth. If I had Alpha I would be all over the sewers right now on my rogue. I love exploring and scouting new things like that. *Crosses fingers for Beta soon*

The changes for certain pet abilities are in for testing:

• During its invulnerability round, the active Undead pet will now do -25% damage.
• Frog Kiss + Sleeping Gas -- Now has a 1-round cooldown.
• Thunderbolt, Avalanche, Grave Destruction, Carpnado, Arcane Storm, and Psionic Strom -- Base Damage reduced by approximately 15%
• Thunderbolt -- Will now have a 5-Round cooldown, to match the other abilities with similar damage and effect.
• Cleave -- Added 1-round cooldown

Graves' Clobber and Bonestorm remain unchanged (supposed to have the slots swapped), and I can't tell if its base stats have changed or not (should be reduced) since I don't have him on Alpha.

[Merana]

Damn, all my leather workers are not rogues! That's pretty uncool if it's true that people are being forced into world PvP for a pet or some crafting patterns, because let's face it, probably a large amount of the people that would want those items aren't interested in world PvP at all and would just end up getting ganked and corpse camped by a bunch of "PvPers" that prefer to kill easy targets.
I play on a PVE server for a bloody reason! To explore and farm things at my own pace instead of having to worry I'd get ganked the moment I get my butt out in the world.

[Shingetsu]

If this is not a designated pvp zone getting flagged is most likely only a bug, I guess.

Those changes Quintessence mentioned, sound like pvp tuning to me. But also affect some of my draenor 2 pet strategies, sadly.

Graves' Clobber and Bonestorm remain unchanged (supposed to have the slots swapped), and I can't tell if its base stats have changed or not (should be reduced) since I don't have him on Alpha.

If I didn't miscalculate they simply changed his breed to S/B (instead of H/P).

I still hope they add a way to get breed info ingame in the future, without using addons, which have to mantain their own breed database.

[Quintessence]

A few changes from the previous iteration of the pet tournament area:

• Stitches Jr. Jr. had his [url=https://twitter.com/perksnpeeves/status/710846215949168640]stats buffed[/url].
• Appearance of a new trainer, [url=http://legion.wowhead.com/npc=107489/amalia]Amalia[/url] ([url=https://twitter.com/perksnpeeves/status/711204691539963904]tribute NPC to @gloriaboboria[/url]) -- has three lvl 25 rare [url=https://twitter.com/perksnpeeves/status/711204930271313920]corgi pets[/url].
• And unlike previous Alpha patches, there are currently no associated world/bonus objectives. Before, there were auto-accepted quests as you approached the trainers/tournament area. Those might be implemented later, we'll see!

[Quintessence]

In addition to the new [url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/20743204177]Pet Battles World Quests content[/url] (unlocked at level 110), 2 new pets were added in today's Alpha patch:

• [url=http://legion.wowhead.com/npc=109502/sandpiper]Azsuna Sandpiper[/url] - Wild; Zone: Azsuna
• [url=http://legion.wowhead.com/npc=109818/gleamhoof-fawn]Gleamhoof Fawn[/url] - Wild; Zone: Val'sharah

(Wowhead links to the battle pet pages not up yet at the time of this writing, so links will take you to general critter pages where you can at least view the model of each pet.)

New Alpha patch! (build 21531)

7 new pets, 1 new achievement (complete 30 Pet Battle World Quests on Broken Isles), and an AWESOME new toy: Narcissa's Mirror (turns your pet into whatever your character looks like)!

Example of toy here: https://twitter.com/perksnpeeves/status ... 1172405249

The current news note mentions six pets. Where is the last one?

[Quintessence]

7 is a typo. 6 new and 2 re-named.

[Paladance]

A typo in the recent note -- you're typing Firebat Pup correctly, but the link is leading to a Felbat Pup.

I was going to think that there is only that older version. I'd be confused too.

[Quintessence]

Fixed, thanks!

Celestial Calf, 1 million gold... I surely hope this is a joke, and a really bad one.

Celestial Calf, 1 million gold... I surely hope this is a joke, and a really bad one.

Seems like a new gold cap testing.

Since the rare items shouldn't be cheaper than the handy ones, with a gold sink like that would it mean that TCG items are 10 times more expensive?
