Just Freak Out Already

BRK » 05 September 2008 » In Pets, WotLK » 24 Comments

Lava Breath – Your pet breathes a double gout of molten lava at the target for 49-65 Fire damage and reduces the target’s casting speed by 50% for 10 seconds.

Updates as our fingers quit trembling. (All hail Skosiris at WoWHead, the Keeper of the Pet Calculator.)

Frogs are green! They croak and do NOT give warts, contrary to stories. More frog-talk later!

Edit #4

Seriously. We have been kicked off off the beta server five more times. Each time, nudging closer and closer to taming Uvuros.

This last time, we actually got to hit the Tame Beast spell, but it wouldn’t take. Why? All our talent points had been reset; we were not a 51-point Beastmaster hunter.

So we started punching in our talent choices, and of course…

SERVER IS DOWN!!

Meanwhile, the happy people on Lich King – the other PvE beta server – are laughing about the Northrend server being so honked up it couldn’t run a 1981 Frogger game.

/sigh

Edit #5

There are no more edits, other than to say,

A) We haz Core Hound

B) SERVER IS DOWN!!

  12. Rohan on September 5th, 2008 9:49 pm

    It’s not a *real* Core Hound unless you get it from Molten Core.

    Brain: Hey, I don’t see many changes to any of the trees in 8905.

    Me: Nah, oh well, I’m pretty happy with the 11/53/7 we cooked up.

    Brain: Oh look, new BigRedKitty blog post.

    Me: …is that what i think it is

    Brain: Yes, yes it is.

    Me: You know, I’ve been MM since closed beta. It’s been a good run.

    Brain: PUPPY :D

  18. Wheatjam on September 5th, 2008 10:48 pm

    I was just on beta between its server hiccups and saw you in Shatt with a giant green puppy! :D Ran to your blog and saw they were tameable now. Too cool. Gotta let us know how he works out!
    …. when the server calms down. XD

    Glad to finally see you in beta, even if I’m horde and you can’t understand a word I’m saying :D

  19. Tzivya on September 5th, 2008 11:42 pm

    Details! Tenacity? :)

    I will take one of these (From MC, DUH) when they remove baby polar bears.

    Otherwise, BEAR ALL THE WAY.

    One word: Kurken

    I don’t really care for the MC core hound’s coloring, but ever since Burning Crusade came out I have wished the Kurken was tameable. That thing is beautiful (and ferocious) YAY!

  21. Domandred on September 6th, 2008 1:59 am

    Oh hell YES. Guess I’m going back to MC ASAP when expansion comes out.

  22. Stupid Mage on September 7th, 2008 1:31 am

    Man, I’ve been asking about the Kurken for weeks…

  23. Kemonojin on September 7th, 2008 10:34 am

    Aw, dang. I was going to have first post, then realized I wasn’t twelve and didn’t care.

    I SO want a core hound…

    BRK, are there any tamable bosses? Like the Beast, for example?
