The First BfA Secret Uncovered: Baa'l Pet

Recommended Posts

The secret finding Discord and Warcraft-secrets.com have been hard at work gathering pebbles in search of the elusive The HivemindThe Hivemind mount, but they've found something else instead. Baa'l, the battle pet was at the end of a 13 pebble long hunt with the small items hidden throughout BfA zones, and the seekers needed help from Uuna to defeat Baa'l in battle. This is the first secret uncovered in Battle for Azeroth since it went live, with a few others dug up during the beta, so big congrats to all you secret finders out there that contributed.

Now, it seems likely that Baa'l is just the next step in the Hivemind puzzle, as he has some interesting things to say when summoned: “Souls fEast on enDless shrieKing, in darKNess they writhe and scream, yOu WiLl join thEm, toGether forEver morE!”

You can check out the full details on this hunt and how to get your own Baa'l and perhaps even join the secret finding community over at Warcraft Secrets. Until more is known, good luck to all the secret seekers out there!

so blizz thought it a "good idea" to put in a Molach, Satan, Lucifer, Devil himself pet?

 

I always thought this game questionable... I need to look no further.  great job, make sure you create some golden statues, and empty bodied belly bulls in which to roast children alive in

That'll complete things.  I'm out.   %14.99 a month no more.

"I'm out" he says, feigning outrage, as he undoubtedly tabs back into the game to continue playing.

They literally have game about Diablo himself (in fact 3 games) and this is what ends your subscription? Ffs. I can understand if you're religious, but you knew full well that Blizzard has done this.

I sincerely hope this is strictly troll food.  If not, how did it take you this long to come to that conclusion? I'm legitimately curious where you've been since launch.  Demon summoning has been in the series for quite some time.  Or is it okay as long as they're "space demons"?

To be fair space demons are the superior demons, everyone knows that. It's why Diablo's playerbase is shrinking while Legion was a hit!

They have a Demonic Titan that destroys planets! For all I know the devil himself can eat his heart out!

Spiritual or not, I hope people admit to themselves that this pet is a bit strange. Diablo, legion, Wrath etc.. were all games were you took on the role of defeating evil. I understand playing a warlock could be questionable as well but defined as a hero that uses space demons is a bit different. Having a pet like this that screams damnation at you when you summon it is going a bit too far. There are a lot of people that play this game that are sensitive to this kind of material due to their spiritual beliefs.

I don't know why Blizzard feels the need to insert a pet into the game named it baal; it doesn't fit in anywhere in the game. The thing is not cute it is creepy as fuck.

Ba'al was originally a thunder god; the king of the gods.  It wasn't until later that "other" religions demonized it as foreign (as was common practice).  If anything, this cute little guy is probably a clue to the hive mind mount, or to the Old God plot in general (maybe a nod to Odin, or something else having to do with thunder).

Well nosidering that there is a Diablo pet already dont think this is any different then that,WoW has some very weird stuff already in forms of Urzul mount(tortured draenei put together as a mount),Thaddius(Naxx raid boss that is literally made out of women and childs flesh sewn together) and thats only the start of weird stuff.I dont know why would you want to stop playing because reasons like this since its only a video game after all.There are many many games where you are an evil charater and you know that from the get go and milions of people still play it.

Diablo was literally a game about Heaven and Hell. It is literally Blizzards version of Demons terrorizing the living and killing off anyone in their way. This pet really shouldn't shock anyone considering there's a franchise that is embodied with Hell and demons.

Much better troll, OP was way to obvious... Ohh and if either of you are serious.... lol :) Im not sensitive to your spiritual beliefs, neither should blizzard or anyone else be. Your spirituality is your problem, not mine :)

So, imaginary things like satan, lucifer or the devil are questionable? That's kinda funny.

What came to my mind the first time I saw the flavour text was: "anagram", and the letters are sedkknowlegee, wich mean nothing.

Until you remove the letters that repeat and you get sedknowlege. The single anagram that you get from it is "golden week". On wikipedia, the result is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Week . 

My thoughts? Diablo related content added or announced according to the above mentioned holidays.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
