Re: Boss keep skull tag after tame
As nice as it is, I understand why it was removed. It was a pvp problem, if I recall, because if a pet is attacking, the player defending doesn't know what level that pet is and puts the hunter at an advantage, which is a no no.
Re: Boss keep skull tag after tame
...They could just look at the hunter's level? I mean, it's not like there's gonna be a lot of options about what level the pet is, and if it's 49 and you're 41, you're hosed regardless of you knowing its level.
But eh. Silly reason, but it's Blizz's reason I guess.

That's implying the hunter is even close enough to them, of course. It's the only reason I'd see them removing it.

I do understand why they wouldn't want pets running around with the boss/skull tag, but it would be neat to be able to keep the silver dragon/rare portrait on pets that were rare before taming.
Wasn't this the case in Vanilla or BC? I cant remember though...

Re: Boss keep skull tag after tame
PvP had nothing to do with The Beast losing his ?? boss tag. It was the simple fact that he was no longer a raid boss. I get that his status changed. It just sucked is all.
Took me an hour to get, 400g in repairs and a shammy friend helped. I would have loved that he kept it. But alas. Blizzard had other idea in mind for him.

Re: Boss keep skull tag after tame
Actually he still is a dungeon/raid boss. They haven't moved him and he still had his skull when I went in. If it were the reason you stated, then all raid tamed pets would've kept their skulls, but they don't.zedxrgal wrote:PvP had nothing to do with The Beast losing his ?? boss tag.

Re: Boss keep skull tag after tame
After the raid was down graded to a dungeon when 4.0 (actually 4.0.3 patch to be specific) he lost his boss tag A) because the dungeon was downgraded and B) it was considered a glitch that he was the only one who kept the tag after taming.
I think I may still have a SS's of the blue post from November of 2010 stating that.
It was nothing to do with PvP.
However I'm sure the PvP-ers whined and cried about it because core hounds at the time had a HUGE threat generator. Which was nerfed to the ground. But that was a while after his tag was already removed.
