"There comes a time when every murloc must choose a side. Will you mrglgglllgl for the Horde alongside Legionnaire Murky, or dive into battle for the Alliance at Knight-Captain Murky’s command?"
It's unclear if players will be able to collect both murlocs, à la Moonkin Hatchling, or if redeeming a BlizzCon murloc will grant only one faction's pet.
We certainly hope it's the former and collectors will be able to obtain both Legionnaire Murky and Knight-Captain Murky. Hopefully some clarification will come soon.
Received my two pets yessterday in my pet collection tab. A notice popped up when I logged on. Knight-Captain if you summon on Alliance and Legionnaire on Horde.
This pet, Murkalot, P/P blackfuse bombing is my 100% win rate team.
Crossing fingers that it will be one pet that is Knight-Captain if you summon on Alliance toon, and Legionnaire when you are Horde. :)
Oh, I hope we can have both, it would just be unfair if we couldn't, and we ARE paying real money, after all. Fingies crossed!
I am looking forward to the answer... Hope it comes soon.
With 2 different apparent weapons sets I would hope that each of these pets would be available separately and each have their own move sets.
The alliance with a shield: Possible tank spec like Anubisath Idol?
Hopefully the horde version will have a slightly different moveset from a pet that it looks very similar to: Grommloc
What would be really cool is if they had interactions like the Blue vs Red battle bots.
All in all cute pets.
~I still vote Horde :P
The wording suggests to me that they are just being cute. The murlocs are making a choice of Alliance or Horde. Seems unlikely that you have to pick one or the other. They probably should have worded it so as not to given even a hint of that impression.
When I saw the wording "choice" I immediately wondered if we get both or have to choose one...then I wondered if I could buy another virtual pass to get both lol
I hope it works like the Boomkin too, I'm getting tapped on my battle pet budget :O
Hope this works like the Moonkin like lots are saying. Update: I do believe we'll get both, it seems kind of glossed over, but over the picture, it says "World of Warcraft® – Legionnaire Murky & Knight-Captain Murky". Still hopefully, it will be better clarified. Also on the buy virtual ticket page, on the in-game goodies overview, it says you'll get the "pets".
