Brawler's GuildHexosMecha-BruceBruce

There are two new ranks filled with new bosses, as well as twelve optional bosses. For reaching Rank 10, players can purchase Brawler's Burly Mushan Beast. We've got more details on new achievements and bosses here.

Rank 8 players and above can access special new areas--Alliance players can go up to the balcony behind the velvet ropes (you may remember this from 5.1's Krasarang questline), while Horde players get to ride a zeppelin circling the arena.

Players who find special quests to fight these bosses get rewarded with a large sack of gold and a unique vanity suit. Check out 3D models of these suits here!

Challenge Cards have been added which allow players to fight a specific boss.

For defeating all the rare bosses, players get a special shirt, Wraps of the Blood-Soaked Brawler.

Far Sight Totems and Remote Viewing Consoles have been added so spectators can get a top-down view of the fights.

Pet Battle Spectator ModeSparklebeard

Players can see pets on both teams, as well as all of their attacks. You can't target any of the engaged pets though.

Players can see the battling player as well. This could have interesting implications on PvP realms, if players can be attacked while battling.

Shadowmeld or Stealth can put you into a special hidden mode to the opposite faction. Your team of visible battle pets still calls attention to you, but you show up as a random NPC which can be any race/class combo, usually wearing tier gear. So far I've been an orc warrior in Tier 6, orc hunter in Tier 5, forsaken, and human Death Knight.

Comment by ZalmonPet Battle Spectator Mode... long time coming! I am excite!

P.S. Still no Arena spectator mode, lul.Comment by PorkForkHmm seems doubtful you can attack players that are battling, the potential for greifing and such seems too high.Comment by DestruktioI hope the brawlers arena becomes personal sometime, it is really frustrating atleast on my realm where there's a ~15min queue for 1 boss.Comment by RobotuschPlayers can see the battling player as well. This could have interesting implications on PvP realms, if players can be attacked while battling.Comment by ZnuffPlayers can see the battling player as well.

(Obviously I've been playing it a wheeee bit too much) I'm SO ready for HexosComment by Sas148I thought you were phased when in a Pet Battle? I've never been damaged, nor the pets, to my knowledge.Comment by hermenegildaI'm just saying this, but I enjoy pvp pet battles, and I usually go into them stealthed. I fight really, really often, against that same orc warrior in Tier 6, and also a few classic tiers. I had always asumed that was the same player with a transmorg set, but with that thing you say, can't it be that that race/class appearence change is already taking place in pvp battle pets? Don't know how to prove that, though...Comment by Sas148Aren't we always changed into something else when we do PvP pet battles? I always thought your opponent was always disguised...Comment by RobotuschI thought you were phased when in a Pet Battle? I've never been damaged, nor the pets, to my knowledge.Comment by LeepiI thought you were phased when in a Pet Battle? I've never been damaged, nor the pets, to my knowledge.
