This, I could agree with, actually.gormanghaste wrote:The spousal unit had an interesting idea: that BM hunters, when they are high enough level to tame exotics, would get 5 extra stable slots that can only be used for exotics. They would become inaccessible in other specs, but the pets would be available again when back in BM.
Cute doesn't need an explanation.

Re: Pet stable Size Is not ENOUGH!
At the start of beta, 25 was more than enough. Then, through the course of beta, they added 131 new looks. Then 20 in 4.0.6 - most of which were on rare spawn creatures, and who knows how many will be in by the end of 4.1. Not everyone's going to like every look, but suddenly, there's a MUCH bigger pool to choose from.
Not everyone forms a deep meaningful bond with their pets (or pixels, however you choose to look). Blizzard has, in so many ways, made hunter pets as collectible as mounts, tabards, and companion pets.
I was around for 3 pets (which was more like 2 since you had to keep one open to learn new skills), I was around for 5. Did we make do? Yes. I think 25 is large, but I can't fault people wanting larger stables. There's a LOT more creatures out there these days, and blizzard has the potential to release tons more.
How many slots though, is something I can't say. I'll make do with however many, but I would definitely like enough to grab all the rares and harder to get monsters that I'd like.

Yes, that sounds reasonable. And also, make the Beast Mastery a passive talent so we can tame low level exotics at low levels.

Re: Pet stable Size Is not ENOUGH!
The idea isn't bad but 5 extra slots still wouldn't be enough to cover what I'd like to have (considering what may show up in future patches... always got to think way in the future) and I already have both my specs used up and neither is BM. Either need a lot more than 5 and/or a tri-spec gold sink option (which I would love to see, especially for hybrid classes) to make it doable for me.gormanghaste wrote:The spousal unit had an interesting idea: that BM hunters, when they are high enough level to tame exotics, would get 5 extra stable slots that can only be used for exotics.

Still think gold sink is the way to go, because it allows all hunter specs access to more slots, but is completely optional.

Re: Pet stable Size Is not ENOUGH!
While this sounds nice, I don't really think BM needs more advantages over the other two specs. We already have exotics, and not every hunter who collects pets or wants more space plays BM.gormanghaste wrote:The spousal unit had an interesting idea: that BM hunters, when they are high enough level to tame exotics, would get 5 extra stable slots that can only be used for exotics.

If we're going to get more slots, make them a gold sink for all three specs, not something else you're forced into a spec to get.

Re: Pet stable Size Is not ENOUGH!
Um...
*thinks hard*
Right, so, hunters get more pet slots than they need, more pet variety than they need, and some of our pets even perform "tricks!" On the vanity front, we are babied WAY more than any other class, the bottom line being that I think Blizzard has already been extremely generous. While it may be hard to narrow our collection down to 25 pets, the fact remains that this is World of Warcraft, not Pokemon [insert color here], and 25 stable slots is more than enough. We have enough space for pets with important raid buffs, with slots left over for vanity.
Edit: I'd also like to add that beating dead horses is an old past-time of mine. ;]

Feral Kittehs have Fury Swipes.
Moonkins have Solar Beam.
Ferals in general have Skull Bash.
Anyone else seeing a lot of pokemon right there? anyone? I know my guild has noticed. Seems Blizzard likes pokemon a lot.
Lets not forget the 'Pokeball' symbols we see popping up such as in Ulduar.
So for those trying to use the 'this is not pokeymanz!' excuse......lets remember that Blizzard's put some pretty hefty references to Pokemon in WoW. Hunters basically are 'Pokemon Trainers'.

Re: Pet stable Size Is not ENOUGH!
There are achievements strictly for COLLECTING things. Blizzard knows it's a strong driving force for a number of people who play this game.
No, this isn't Pokemon (and I don't buy that excuse anyway), but Blizzard keeps giving us opportunities (and incentives to an extent) to gather more pets by introducing more and more skins to the game (a move that I am not at all ungrateful towards). What's going to happen if/when they introduce a new family or two? Hydras, basilisks, kodos, talbuks, stags, giraffes... whatever it is people are secretly hoping for.
