As the topic says, Mr Mumper tweeted:
@CM_Zarhym I sense big things in this "Possibly maybe" patch for tomorrow. Well, maybe I should say small things. ;)
(https://twitter.com/mumper/status/223663655940653056)
in response to Zarhym's mention that a new beta patch is possibly tomorrow.

(For those that don't know mumper is Cory Stockton (Lead Content Designer on WoW))

So it may begin shortly. :D

/excited!!!

I'm crossing my fingers that this weekend will be filled with not-too-buggy beta Pet Battle testing. :D Maybe some new information and details about the feature/system will come out too.

I'd love to see cuddly lil animals fight each other to an agonizing death. I sure hope that happens soon. Not IRL though. :)
mmo-champion is taking the above as confirmation. This is not a drill?

I don't think I've been this elated while downloading a patch in a long while... :lol:

*Insert squee of joy here*

I shake my fist at the large beta patch but am thankful for it at the same time haha. I guess it gives me some time to update WarcraftPets with the news and review the datamined info. Seems like a lot of the achievements were updated/changed.

And did anyone else get excited when they read: "Reward: Jade Tentacle." on MMO-Champion?? Or was it just me... XD

Still waiting on that Blizzard Pet Battles blog post, though! :P

Pet Battles are go!

If someone on Horde side of Lost Isles would send Ruzgofdi an invite to whatever warcraftpets.com guild there may be, that would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Yay that they are finally in, however a little :( at the re-organised file system meaning we have to re-download the entire Beta. I'm at 3% of the 19.1GB atm.

I may get a chance to test out Pet Battling before the weekends ends.....

Time to test out this new "high speed" internet my house is supposed to have.

*sits and watches patch client take five hours to even "initialise"*

*dies*

Edit: And we're off 1.3MB/s... so a little over four hours...

*dies again*

Ouch I though mine was bad, chugging along at ~300kb/s, but at least it hasn't died. :shock:
(41% done since my last post, 11.6gb remaining)

My connection is evil -_-

However! I left it while I went to work, and it's done!
Lunch, and then I'm getting me some new pets :D

There's no rush, Wild Pet battles are glitched at the moment anyway.

So, I downloaded the patch, and trained, and as soon as I start a wild pet battle, both my pet and the wild one are dead. The only thing I can do is forfeit.

Woohoo!
:roll:

No relog fix this time, either.
