Otacon Report: New Realm, New Look, New Pets, New Mounts, ZOMG NEW PATCH

Screenshots will be coming soon. I am on my little netbook so I don't have my screenies here :(

To say I have been busy in the last few days is an understatement. Not only do I stand here (sit) with an entirenew look and name to replace Otacon, but I also have new pets and a new mount. I am also FREAKING EXCITED about Transmogrification! I cannot wait!

But first, the stable
I finally deleted one of my Devilsaurs because I rarely take them out as it is. I have been rocking my Spirit Owl (Ban'thalos) now properly named Barasou, everywhere I go. Absolutely gorgeous! I use him for doing dailies and also whip him out every now and then in PvP. It's funny when I heal myself using my awesome owl, much to the chagrin of that warrior over there. In your face! 
Asides from him, I added ANOTHER Spirit Beast to my collection. Anhka, the green spectral saber that wonders around The Regrowth has recently allowed me to tame it. I was kind of excited to grab him, despite the fact that it now pushes my total Spirit Beast collection to 8. Do I need this many Spirit Beasts? No...no I don't. But I can't bare to let any of them go, even as I find myself running out of stable slots. I almost let go one of my Birds of Prey (Aotona, a Seagull, and Olm the Wise), but opted not to.
I had one slot left, and eventually decided to fill it. I was determined to be intelligent about this, so I did some research and decided on a Worm to help round out my PvP squad. I went down (up) to Northrend and found Rattlebore, a giant jormunger type worm whose black. Easy tame, no real special needs. He's a hearty worm and I still need a name for him.
BTW I am no longer Otacon
I recently transferred and race changed my hunter to join some friends on Deathwing. Since that one week, we downed Cho'gall and all of BoT in one night, about 2 hours. I am not joking. It was so speedy I felt like I had blinked and it was gone. Otacon is now Covington (yes, like my druid. I had a hard time with names) and is a pretty Night Elf. She's really pretty! At first I kind of regretted not making her a worgen, simply for min/max purposes, but to be honest, I like her feel. I am happy with my decision. It's hard to believe she has down Cho'gall before my druid (who probably will never raid again), but it's part of life and a lot of fun. I have also been PvPing a lot, considering Deathwing is a PvP realm. I really enjoy PvP on a hunter, and find that I have the tools for survivability, as well as the strength to easily knock off a few enemies.
It still amazes me, Battlegrounds do. Some people get so upset when things are not going well, and instead of trying to fix a problem, they just turtle, or do something stupid trying to rack up honor, and complain the whole time. They don't offer anything constructive nor do they try and create a strategy to help us win. I admit I am still fairly new in PvP. I don't know the best strategies for winning each of the different games. But if you tell me what to do, hey I'll listen. In fact, I'm really good at listening. I also follow orders pretty good if they don't include, "Go jump off said cliff." Bgs cannot be won by one person; they are won by a group. Sitting around complaining and freaking out at people will not help anyone in the long run.  
KWEEEEHHHHHH?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Did you know that the best part of FFIX was the Chocobo Hot and Cold mini game. Well now you do!
I don't like the mounts I have on my hunter. There's nothing special about them and none of them look really nice. So I sucked it up and ran out to Magister's Terrace and Setthek Halls, hoping for a BC mount to drop. After about a week of Mag T, the white hawkstrider graced me with his presence. I love that these mounts are all based on Horde models, and now that I am Alliance, it makes me feel even more special riding one. :)
Transmofigration. 
I am one of the few people who are SO EXCITED for this part of the Patch. I loved Wardrobe options in Rift, and I will love them EVEN more in WoW. While I may not change my armor too much, the ability to change my weapons is pretty freaking exciting. I am excited to wield a beautiful bow and a kick ass staff or polearm. Can't wait!
I am bummed it got rid of my T7.5 on my druid. That was by far my favorite outfit and I would've loved to see it on my druid again. But alas. I did save my Mag'hari Chieftain's Staff though :)
That's all for now. Hopefully pictures will be up by Sunday night!
