Mists of Pandaria General Information & Discussion - Release Date 9/25/12

[ebony]

So I tried to test the bnet wide achievements thing and I don't think that HK totals are Bnet wide. I think they are account only. All tallied up I should have around 70k HKs, but when I logged in a transferred character I only saw 10k

there no such thing is account/battle.net the game does not understand what a game licence is. there noway you can test this as you can only log in ptr/bata once and the servers do not share info from the live data base server.

You need to copy all your live chars to the Ptr. What happens on the ptr stay on the ptr. The PTR does not link/read to the live data base servers in anyway so it can not read the char from your account information. All that happens is a copy of that only one char. + the live servers does not tech that links the stuff anyway.

pets and petbattles i did says this in IRC from a command that was datamind.

You will only be able to engage in pet battles on one wow account at a time when multiple accounts are attached to one b.net account. The other have access to their pets, but not to battling.

and we got this

Pets will still be merged on MoP launch, but instead of placing them in your bags or mail they will be placed directly in your pet journal. You will be allowed to have more than 500 and 3x per pet during this process. Any pets that are flagged as unique will be merged into one and also placed in your journal. (Unique pets are from Achievements, Pet Store, Promotions and Guild) You will be able to cage any pets that are tradeable and you can release anything that you have more than one of.

A few examples:

A B.net account has a total of 6 Wolvar Pups across all of it's characters. On merge the B.net account would have 6 Wolvar Pups. This would be the only time an account is allowed to have more than 3x of a single pet.

A B.net account has a total of 3 Murky's from BlizzCon 2005 and 4 Nuts from the pet collection achievements across all of it's characters. (both unique pets) On merge the B.net account will have 1 Murky and 1 Nuts.Hope that helps clear things up

Ugh never mind. Im retarded.

Any word on whether the cross-realm invite problem with the same BNET account is fixed in 5.0.4? I was planning to wait until 8/28 to experiment with it, but I am finding my team/account planning to be extremely complex since my team is split across 2 realms. Not having to transfer a bunch of toons around would simplify this quite a bit.

Ugh this pissed me off. They made it sound like you could roll Pandaren on August 28th, but later they clarified that. So really what was the point of that post? I and everyone else already has ALL races available. WTF!

I can't recall in previous xpacs when the xp reductions came in, was it the pre-launch patch or the xpac launch? Those new sub-85 amounts are really nice to see while I still have 5 teams left to get from 81-85 and would like to do so before launch.

I actually just mentioned this in another thread:

No, there is no Blizzard source yet, but the change was just made with one of the latest beta builds. Why would they bother to lower the experience needed to level so late in the beta if they had no intention of making it live? And when have they not nerfed prior expansion experience when a new one was released?

The announcement on lowering XP needed for Wrath came out after 4.0.1 was already on live servers and about 3 weeks before Cata (4.0.3a) actually went live - http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/11/18/wr...reduced-by-20/
