If you've spent any time hanging out in Dalaran recently you've no doubt seen your fair share of flying star unicorns and probably have heard non-stop the lamentations of Lil' XT.
There was previously a bug that caused Lil' XT's sounds to be sent out to a much wider range than they were supposed to be heard. When a few dozen people have them out it can get quite annoying. There's now a hotfix that disables some of these sounds. It's not a complete solution, but it's better than turning off sounds all together.
Vaneras is an EU community manager, and we're not sure if the hotfix is active in the US. However, if it's not in the US right now I'm sure it will be soon.

VanerasA hotfix was recently applied, which temporarily disabled some of the sounds Lil' XT makes.
The issue was that some of his sounds were flagged in such a way that they play for everyone around him and not just the player that owns the pet, an annoying problem to be sure. We can't alter volume or who the sounds play for through a hotfix so the temporary workaround is to disable them completely right now until the proper fix can be patched in later.

I really liked that Lil'XT sounded off for everyone in the area, it added flavor to the mini pet. If I have my friendly pet sounds turned on I should be able to hear the non-combats also. Also it was great having lower level players who had never seen XT freaking out.

I don't mind non-combat pets playing sounds that everyone can hear. That's fine. But when they're so loud, so frequent, and can be heard from so far away that you zone into Dalaran and are immediately bombarded by:
"NO NO NO NO -i GUESS IT DOESN'T BE- I BROKE IT NO NO NO THINK I BROKE BEND THAT WAY" etc.
Then... then it gets annoying REALLY fast.

In a couple weeks there won't be 300 of them out at the same time in dalaran so it wouldn't be a big deal anymore.
I think it's hilarious

@ Hex - "I really liked that Lil'XT sounded off for everyone in the area"
you liked that you single handedly annoyed 10's, if not 100's of players? wow, you must be popular on your realm.

I would say it isn't active on US server (or at least didn't seem to be as of last nite). About the most annoying thing I've encountered in the game. I threatened to /gkick any guildies who dare to purchase one.

You're native English speaker and can't even spell night correctly?

Shorthand.

I don't believe one less letter a shorthand makes.

Most. Epic. Threat. Evar.
Aoife Apr 19th 2010 2:45PM
It was a joke in our guild (the /gkick threat). Sorry y'all took it seriously. We all find the pet sounds annoying.

This is good news.
Especially considering that Lil' XT sounds just like my ex. >.

Your Ex is a 5 year old? O:

Good Lord, I hope your ex didn't say "I guess it doesn't bend that way!" or "I think I broke it..."
