The Queue: Important Mat McCurley super-fan meetup bulletin

The Mat McCurley super-fan group meetup for tonight has been cancelled due to size restrictions on the venue. Too many people wanted to come. We'll get a bigger place for the next one, I promise.
yous95 asked:
The MoP talent calculator was recently updated. On the druid page, I notice that there are now 4 druid specs- the originals and "guardian" a separate spec for the bear tank. Did we know about this upcoming change before, and do you think it's smart of Blizzard to give druids 4 specs while all other classes have 3?
Yes, we knew about this at BlizzCon. Personally, I think it's one of the best changes for the druid and will go a long way in fixing a core broken issue with druids that's been present for seven years. Longevity is key, and Blizzard is making good long-term decisions. Plus, it sets the precedent of adding on specializations to classes. Imagine that ...
Mindor asked:
So, I just noticed portals to Org/Stormwind right next to the dark portal on HFP side. Has this been in the game the entire time?
As far as I remember it, originally these portals were just set dressing. At some point during Wrath of the Lich King, Blizzard activated them for easier transport.
@ecbremner on Twitter asked:
With the blues saying some talents will be turned into glyphs. Will we be getting a new set of glyph slots in MoP?
I have a feeling the glyph system will get a tiny bit of a makeover, especially in terms of what minor glyphs are for and their function, prior to the expansion's release. In fact, I bet we learn a little something about glyphs in March when the press tour begins. Having some talents become glyphs is great because it's another added decision that actually matters in the way you build your class. You might now get to choose from one of three attractive passive bonuses, etc. I think it could work very well, but we just don't have the information yet.
@xvkarbear on Twitter asked:
What changes would you like to see happen to the guild leveling system? What kind of new perks do you want?
I think 10 more guild levels per expansion is a pretty good number to aim for. Two of those can be a pet and a mount, which leaves eight to fill. Add on to existing perks with a new rank or two, and you really only need a couple of new perks for guilds reaching the upper levels. Unlocking new heirlooms would be a good upper-echelon guild reward that I would also like to see.
@blakepirtle on Twitter asked:
did the aspects give up anything else aside from immortality? Will time "catch up" to them you think?
The Aspects gave up their immortality and aspect powers in order to defeat Deathwing. They can most likely live forever anyway, or practically forever, since they are still dragons at the end of the day. They do retain a considerable amount of power as dragons, just not their Savior of Azeroth, No One Messes With Us powers.
@alissarules on Twitter asked:
What...is your favorite...add on?

Looking at what get's upvoted and downvoted, slavery is just completely wrong...unless it's women enslaving men. Gotcha.

Errr....so my previous comment makes at least some sense. Nina's having a bunch of male Blood Elves carry her around comment used to be a 3 star blue. Now it's a 2 star gray. Fickle crowd it seems.

Just thought of this for guild mounts: Really want to push the whole Horde v Alliance conflict? Slave mounts! Alliance riding a Tauren. Horde riding a Worgen. Hot dang. I don't care what side you're on. That would make me want to kill the other side!

No more Mat McCurley super-fan group meetup? Now how am I going to get my Mat McCurley world tour tshirt signed?
Vorenos Feb 17th 2012 11:22AM
"Mat McCurley has a Super-Fan club and all i got was this stupid t-shirt"
Revynn Feb 17th 2012 11:16AM
What new tamable hunter pets would you like to see in MoP?
Shinae Feb 17th 2012 11:26AM
More ungulates like giraffes, zhevas, horses, etc. with the ability to trample.
Vorenos Feb 17th 2012 11:30AM
i want one of those Basilisk type croc monsters that are in Terrokar Forrest and Tanaris. Those things have been my most lusted after pet models for a long time, and i really don't see why they are untameable when crocs and warp stalkers are allowable.
also, i want to tame dragonkin. there, i said it. also Worgen...
OUFanInKansas Feb 17th 2012 12:15PM
Druids in feral form.
Duerma Feb 17th 2012 12:24PM
Sharks. And fish. Put them in bubbles like the Sea Pony and Purple Puffer.
Bapo Feb 17th 2012 12:49PM
Hydras.
That still bugs the hell out of me.
"Here! Hydras are tameable now! But what we really mean is that those people who have the bugged animals (ooze and ghost hydra) now have a Hydra pet, and you can't actually tame one."
Luotian Feb 17th 2012 1:18PM
WTB more wolf and turtle skins please
VioletArrows Feb 17th 2012 5:30PM
The new storks. They'd be the first non-fugly combat birds in the game (and don't lie to yourselves, all the birds in this game save for the belves hawkstriders have been beaten clean to death and back with an ugly bat.)
Noyou Feb 17th 2012 5:35PM
@Bapo
You bring up a good point. Why are some hunters able to keep pets that no one else can? Were they not taking advantage of an exploit? Seems like a bit of hypocrisy on WoW's part to me.
brain314 Feb 17th 2012 11:25PM
Screw water bubbles. That would just make them look like hamsters in a ball. I want my shark flopping around on land. What's more terrifying than a shark so angry that it'll hump around on land TO KILL YOU.

Has there been any lore reason why there isn't a regular green drake mount? Bronze comes from Culling of Stratholme, Blue from Malygos, Red you buy from Wyrmrest, Black drops from Sartharion. Are the green dragons too busy dreaming to cart our butts around?
Vorenos Feb 17th 2012 11:26AM
that is a good point and im not really sure if there is an answer to that... the closest thing to a green drake would either be the Azure Netherwing Drake or the Green Proto Drake. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the green drakes are in the emerald dream for the most part, so we dont ever really see them out in the world?
damn... now i want a green drake mount!
Shinae Feb 17th 2012 11:28AM
I don't think it is a lore reason why we don't have green drake mount. I think that the devs are saving it for later. Impatience with this matter is totally justified.

Like that one?
Drakkenfyre Feb 17th 2012 6:28PM
He said dragon, not Proto Drake. There's a difference. Some people want actual dragons, not pre-evolved cousins that walk funny, and have tiny little arms.
