Wrath of the Linkbacks 2.4.2

Filed Under: Gripe, Hunters and Pets, Random Stuff | Tags: linkback, Niqora, patch, WotLK

What’s up with the title? I was trying to get WotLK, linkbacks, and patch 2.4.2 all in there and epically failed

First up, some long overdue linkbacks to:

Laser Chicken - This poor guy has has Petoholics on his blogroll forever but I only found it out after he left the game. But now he’s back and it’s about time I pay him his dues!

Warcraft and Other Hooha - I’m not exactly sure what “Hooha” is but it seems to have lots of pretty screenshots and interesting topics so I like it

The Troll Hunter - Again, I’m not listed as a “Great Hunter Site”. What does a girl have to do to get recognition around here? On second thought, don’t answer that. I kid of course. Friendly /wave over to Wolfrider!

Next, Patch 2.4.2. It’s live now (or so I’ve been told; I’m at work right now) and the issue that’s been up on my mind is the Growl changes. Blizzard said “Growl now scales with Hunter RAP, not pet RAP” but Mania, Znodis, and others have responded with “Umm, nothing’s changed. Here’s the data from all the tests we’ve performed.” Blizzard then stares blankly at them for a moment then says loudly to no one in particular “Growl now scales with Hunter RAP, not pet RAP.” Hilarity ensues, or at least it would if this wasn’t just plain irritating. My Mr. Paladin has a saying: “If you say something loud enough and long enough, people begin to believe it.” Okay, maybe that works with some people but reality can’t be convinced no matter how loud you yell. I don’t know where things are going awry but something’s not right and I hope Blizzard can at least straighten things out.

Quick post

Filed Under: Hunters and Pets | Tags: linkback, PANDA

Mania redesigned Petopia and it looks fantastic! If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out now.

I just fixed a coding error in PANDA that wasn’t including the last name in the list of each of the species-genders. It’s amazing how something as small as a minus sign and the number “1″ can affect some code >.>

I also changed the “Suggest a Name or Two” form associated with PANDA so that you can now send your submissions anonymously. Also it confused some people as I received a submission where someone placed the suggested name in the “Your Name” field.

And last but not least, I’d like to thank Melinda for being the first to send in a name suggestion. As a reward, you get 5 [barbecued buzzard wings] cooked from Zaricotl. Blacky was kind enough to leave those for you so you can thank her

Time for some linkbacks

Filed Under: Random Stuff | Tags: druid, linkback

I really do have the worst memory. For example, a classmate asked me what I did two Fridays ago after school. For the life of me, I cannot remember. That entire evening is gone from my brain. Anyways, here’s some blog links that I’ve been forgetting about until now…

Mama Druid - She’s been sitting there on my blogroll for quite a while and it’s about time she got a callout

World of Matticus - He needs no introduction…because everyone knows him already

Random Ravings of Warcraft - Random ravings of any kind are always good

Legends of the Beast - I may not be on the “Lengenday Hunters” short list today but one day…one day…

A Little WoW for Me - Congrats on your own domain name
