Details on the new minimap tracking system
In addition to letting us know about the new hunter pets in Patch 2.3, Mania's Arcania (of Petopia fame) has also written up a pretty detailed explanation of how the new minimap tracking system works, with helpful screenshots and everything. We've mentioned this before, but now here are some of the new details she has uncovered for us:
The "!" and "?" quest-giver symbols now show up on the minimap very clearly.
Clicking on the new magnifying glass button gives you a list of all the different things you can track, including existing tracking abilities, as well as places to repair, buy ammo, aucions, banks, and so on.
Flight Masters you haven't met yet will always show up, whether you are tracking them or not.
Quest-givers' "!" symbols disappear from the minimap if their quest is too low-level for you (which is too bad if you are going back for more reputation).
For hunters: the various creature-tracking abilities now distinguish between neutral and hostile mobs, via yellow and red dots, respectively.
Special tracking-assistant addons like Gazmik Fizzwidget's famous TrackMenu may no longer be needed.
