Thursday is Boderlands 4 patch day, and the first thing my partner tells me when I get to my computer is that they buffed my class and the guns I use haha. Love that all they've been doing so far is bug fixes and buffs. Looking forward to Thursdays now 😆

Zul Aman is now open on the Midnight Alpha (Eversong now closed), so we get to see some new things!

Here's a selection of tameable pangolins - simply called 'pangos'.

They're classed as Scalehides, which may seem a bit odd for something that isn't a reptile but no stranger than snails as carapids*

As anticipated, these horned capybaras are a great addition to the Rodent family!

Lowkey worried that they're just gonna do a blanket removal of anyone that recently made a Legion Remix Druid, and some of us that did earn the appearances during Legion will also get our appearances wiped. I should've held off on starting Remix sigh. us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/uni...

Kaivax (blue poster, Blizzard Community Manager) - "Due to an unexpected bug, Legion Remix launched with a circumstance where druid players could use bear and cat forms that they did not earn.

Please know that we’re working on fixing this (and other bugs), and when we do fix it, we expect that the forms will no longer be usable for players who didn’t earn them."

Can't even play on my main or non-Remix character without everything lagging out oof. Guess I'm back to Borderlands 4 for now

Created a Remix character, but lagging so badly I'm gonna call it quits for today. Frustrating

The Alpha forums finally let me post yay small wins. My response in the Midnight Pet Battle feedback thread: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/fee...

Feedback: Pet Battles

First off, I’d like to say that I appreciate the response and assurance that Pet Battles is not going away in the expansion! However, the current list of goals is so vague and many are still concerned...

I'm in Alpha but can't post a reply to the Feedback thread in the Alpha forums oops. 🙃 Gonna give it a day or two to see if I can eventually post, but might need to ask someone with Alpha posting abilities to post on my behalf.

I'm grateful for the response from Blizzard. It's a little concerning that it wasn't explicitly stated that NEW Pet Battle content would be included in Midnight though. I would like more information what "iterate" Pet Battle combat means for them. Thankful for the update, will wait and see

WarcraftPets @warcraftpets.bsky.social · 3d

Blizzard has posted a feedback thread on the Alpha forums regarding Pet Battles in Midnight. There will be pets to collect, Pet Battle combat (that they want to iterate on), as well as some experimental alternative methods to acquiring pets in the expansion. us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/fee...

Feedback: Pet Battles

The Pet Battle system is being iterated on in Midnight, and changes will continue to come with future Alpha builds. In the first builds of the Midnight Alpha, we have several goals: For players who...

"What even is Midnight now? It's not the game I pre-ordered." - said by a number of people around me, for various/different reasons. Yea, I'm wondering about it too 🤷‍♀️

Was asked about my thoughts on the Midnight Pet Battle thing, and I'm honestly more exhausted having to explain what we do/dont know and what's fact/speculation to ppl, than by the actual situation itself? Too preoccupied to form a full opinion. Blizz could help by chiming in (pls any time now 🥺)

Preemptive scanning over Midnight wild pets, and it looks like they all only come in one skin/appearance each (thank goodness 😅). Gonna continue to check throughout testing, but hoping it stays this way and they don't add more than one skin to Midnight wild pets (or they make spawning not terrible)

The name of this Borderlands 4 mob lmao 😂

a level 50 purple flying insectoid creature that's glowing red, named Bleh with "Centripetal, Contagious, Immovable" affixes in Borderlands 4

A few are saying "writing's on the wall, Blizz doesn't need to outright announce they're removing Pet Battles for it to be true" and I get that opinion. Pet Battles has felt like a sunset feature (phasing out/no new content) for a while now. I still feel it's unwise to jump to conclusions

Quintessence @perksnpeeves.bsky.social · 4d

So thanks to that Gamerant article the 'Pet Battles are being removed in Midnight!' rumor is spreading like wildfire even though we don't have confirmation of that yet. I mean, Blizzard is literally adding Family Battler achievements to old-world content...so how is battling being removed...?
