I was handing in quests at the island today when a gigantic wolf caught my eye.  I ran to catch up and snap some screenshots.

I spoke to Ontbach and she said that the wolf had been like that since the patch, she tamed her a long time ago.  I went out to BEM myself and tamed the same wolf, but she shrank down to normal size.  I'm thinking it's something to do with her keeping the tag of <The Den Mother> that's made her stay huge. 

Whatever it is, it's really cool!

Update: I just spoke to Ontbach again, and she said the wolf appears normal to her and is actually called something different.  It's even stranger than I thought!  I'll have to see if my tamed one appears different to other people... Hmmmm!

Me and some buddies went into Magister's Terrace last night, to do a quick run on normal and get a friend attuned to heroic.  We had a prot pally, a holy pally, an affliction warlock, a destruction/demo warlock and a combat rogue.  Once we worked out some kinks in the system, the run went nice and smoothly.  I discovered that using my felhunter and solo'ing any of the spellcasters is fun!  DoTs and drain life, wohoo.

The problem occured when we got to Kael'thas.  We were at the hell-pull before him, and we were using fear as a CC.  I've done it before, and none of them have ever run far enough to aggo Kael'thas.  Apparently, they can, they just hadn't before.

So the prince of the blood elves yells and comes running towards us.  Three of the group are in the corridor, so they book it.  Myself and Megawatt are stuck in his room, because the door has shut.  We die horribly.  (Of course, the pull mobs have no trouble getting through the door.)

We release.  We run back.  Smack into the closed door.

So after all that, we couldn't finish the instance.  Sigh.

I put in a ticket and the GM contacted me about two hours later.  She was very nice but I was OTing Karazhan at the time, so I couldn't talk to her properly.  She said they're aware of the issue and are working on it.  Bleh.  In the meantime, if it happens you should put in a ticket and stay in the instance, somebody should be there to fix it quickly.

As I've said before, I hate wiping because of random events.  I also hate wiping because of bugs.  It's different if you wipe because of a silly mistake (Let's not talk about our paladin wiping us at 1% on Prince because he accidently bubbled the tank) but when you wipe because of a bug... ugh.

We've been hit by this bug fairly reguarly in Karazhan.  And in different places, too.  It usually consists of "Oh look, where did that shade come from?  OH HOLY GOD MY FACE!"  It seems to consist of one of the shades from right up towards Netherspite's room pathing down, aggroing on somebody and then bringing all of his friends.  Usually every single shade between where you are, and where he should be.

This is the room before Illhoof.  We were finishing off the mobs there and the single shade came in, and I picked him up.  We killed him and one other before we wiped thanks to lots more (five in that picture, and we killed two and I think some wandered off before I got the screenshot).  Later on when we were heading to Netherspite, we were getting ready to pull the shades at the top of the ramp ... and there were only two there.  Proof that it's where the bugged ones come from.

WTF, Karazhan?
