We’re less than A WEEK away from the launch of World of Warcraft’s latest expansion, DRAGONFLIGHT, and I’m a busy-little-bee getting everything together. What have I been busy with? Well, it’s no secret that I’ve been working on a battle pet video highlighting all the new pets coming with DRAGONFLIGHT, and with nearly 100 new pets coming, I have to admit I maybe have bitten off a little more than I can chew!

My circa 2016 PC is having a helluva time dealing with all these imported files, graphic layers, and effects, and it was touch-and-go there as to whether or not I’d be able to move forward with it. But after learning how to work with proxy files and futzing with some preferences, everything’s going much more smoothly. I’m now in the final 9 minutes of what appears to be a roughly 29 minute video! I’m really hoping to be able to get it out by this Friday or Saturday at the latest. Keep your fingers crossed that my poor PC lives through the experience (and of course I’ll announce once the video is live, but go ahead and sub to me on YouTube and ring the bell and stuff to get notified automagically!)

I’ve been so caught up in this project that I haven’t even finished doing everything I want with the pre-patch event yet! Namely, getting some more alts to level 60, outfitting some of my priority alts with some fresh new 252 gear, and collecting all the armor class transmogs. Also, with all the hype surrounding the recent RNG buff given to some Pandaria & WoD world boss mounts, the desire to go roll a decent amount of my alts through those weekly drop chances is high high high! Let’s hope my RNG luck is just as high, once I get around to it! At the very minimum, I need to go and spend all the Honor and Valor I have saved up on my main so that stuff doesn’t just vanish on me next Monday!

Lastly, an important update to my previous post about Twitch Drops: While I will be streaming at launch and will have the Twitch Drops enabled for the Feldrake mount from Nov 28th through Nov 30th (my stream schedule, anyways), looks like I am not on the list of eligible streamers Blizzard has supplied for the Ichabod battle pet Twitch Drop, which also starts Nov 28th. I’m a little sad, because being involved in anything battle pet-related is always a huge deal for me, but I will still happily support some of my friends who made the list of eligible streamers. I’ll likely toss my gift subs over to DragonsAfterDark, who is someone who does just a TON of work for the battle pet community!

That’s all I have to update for now. Have you had any luck with the new mount drops? Didja get all your stuff from the pre-patch festivities yet? Drop a comment and let me know! In the meantime, I’ve gotta dig back into this editing project like, for real, for real!
