Wait on abandoning pets
Everyone has to make their own choices, but I just wanted to throw this out as a reminder.

Re: Wait on abandoning pets
But if you're looking at your old pet and are going to run off and tame a different bunch of pixels so your pet's appearance won't change, it might be worth it to wait.

I only wish that the time spent now on the rares is not wasted if Bliz decides to change something. *eyes Rak'Shiri up and down*

Re: Wait on abandoning pets
Same. Got confirmation from a GM that Rak'Shiri can be killed by the elementals. >.> He wished me good luck, but I gave up for the night and logged for a while. Came back in the morning and he was walking near his south most spawn point.WildcatTM wrote:I camped maybe 4 or 5 old rares for their change over. I do not want to be disappointed.
I know there are many people who're attached to the current skins of their pets, but I really think people should look at it more from a more refreshing PoV, instead of overreacting and being scared of the change.
I really liked the comment that someone made of Rak'Shiri aging and losing the shine on his fur for cata. As well as the other wee kittens growing up.

Re: Wait on abandoning pets
I'd prolly be fine with that if it was something I could choose. I did something akin to that when I had a wolf pet age and slowly change and eventually his form took on a spirit blue-- meaning I went through a few wolves to see what I liked and ended up keeping Skoll, with the same name.erwil wrote:WildcatTM wrote: I know there are many people who're attached to the current skins of their pets, but I really think people should look at it more from a more refreshing PoV, instead of overreacting and being scared of the change.

The problem here is that I am not being given a choice. It really is upsetting to some hunters, and I'm part of that group. No, I never felt like a "speshul snowflake" as has been snottily tossed around here and there because I had a blue tiger... it was that I wanted a blue tiger from the second I saw him and the years I have played with and had fun with THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF BLUE SHADED PIXELS are special to me. I could really give a monkey's hiney if Blizzard made every single tiger in the area blue... I'd still keep and adore Merlyn.
I don't want to go out and re-tame a new one.
I don't want his form changed.
I feel the same way all the people who are going to loose their hyenalike Scarlet Hounds, and the fact that some folks are thrilled because well, its a tiger skin that wasn't around before is lovely for THEM, but it is not the one I chose as my pet all those years ago.
There are HOW many wandering tigers out there in the area-- remove the path of one, rename the id of the bundle of pixels in that single group of code, and you have your same solution without taking away the pet of so many that yeah, we worked hard to get.
I do hope it is, as this thread suggests, something that can and does change. I do want all of you who are eager to get the new tiger skin to have that option.
I just am hoping your happiness isn't due to my unhappiness, that's all. I'd prefer a solution where we ALL can feel good about this.

Yes, he can definitely be killed by elementals.Same. Got confirmation from a GM that Rak'Shiri can be killed by the elementals. >.> He wished me good luck, but I gave up for the night and logged for a while. Came back in the morning and he was walking near his south most spawn point.
I remember back when I was lvl 56 in Winterspring, I was traveling with a friend through Winterspring. The entire place was being invaded by Undead (it was back when the original Naxxramas appeared in-game, back at lvl 60). I saw Rak'shiri and was literally in awe.
And then a horde of undead literally targeted him and murdered him in front of me. D: I was so upset.

This...this. Ten THOUSAND times this. I stashed Shy-Rotam in my stable against the worst-case scenario...but I'm really and truly hoping and praying I can open up that stable slot with a joyful heart when the day comes because the tame was un-needed. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Or they could just give it to King B and leave Winterspring alone. T_T
