AMAZING PTR Change for us Hunters.
AMAZING PTR Change for us Hunters.
* Carrion Feeder no longer restores Happiness.
* The Feed Pet ability now instantly heals 50% of the pet's health. Cannot be used in combat. Requires diet-appropriate food.
* Guard Dog no longer causes Growl to generate additional Happiness.
* The Happiness/Pet Loyalty System has been removed. Hunters will no longer have to manage Happiness for their pets, and the previous damage bonus for pets being happy will now be baseline for all tamed pets.

Re: New Patch Notes- A change to hunter pets as we know it!
EDIT: Oooh I do like the sound of that glyph though. Slightly larger pet is awesome. ^^
Re: New Patch Notes- A change to hunter pets as we know it!
Honestly, I really liked it. It made me feel more involved and immersed into the game as a hunter, to need to feed my pet when they were unhappy. I suppose the whole system became redundant with how easy pets are to level now, along with how easy they are to keep happy at present but despite this I feel that I'll miss it... it was just something that made hunters different from the other pet classes.Vephriel wrote:Aww, the removal of the Happiness system will render the Pet Emote addon very much....depleted.

Guard Dog still generates additional threat

I will be so happy if that Pet Emote addon is used less. Personally, I really hated seeing that emote system. The number of grammatical errors in it drove me nuts.
I know, I don't use the best English either, but the fact that the commas and apostrophes of that addon were always like
"Rikaku 's Bird of Prey, Cat, eats happily."
That always peeved me off @_@
But the glyph sounds awesome! Totally using that!

Re: AMAZING PTR Change for us Hunters.
Didn't think much of it, until you put it that way, since, between Bloodthirsty, Guard Dog, and Mend Pet, my pets were virtually never unhappy... Now I'm wondering if it's really so great a change. Then again, who knows - maybe it'll end up like the auto-level-with-taming feature, where later we'll wonder how we ever lived without it.Senna-Umbreon wrote:Uhh.. WHAT. Seriously?! This is kind of awesome.. If it didn't feel like our pets are turning into friggen Warlock demons! >.<

A glyph that makes pets bigger? Oh lord, as if healers didn't complain enough already about corehounds/devilsaurs blocking the tank and melee DPS...

Re: AMAZING PTR Change for us Hunters.
This change kinda' sucks. I miss loyalty too, though. It made thepet feel like more than just something that follows you around and takes a beating on command. Now it's just a mindless buff-bot.

Re: AMAZING PTR Change for us Hunters.
ill admit.the rare occasions my pet fell to yellow or red faced.it was usually in odd coincidence with what was happening in game.like say, my targeting a skull level elite or looking over the edge of a cliff.i will miss that...
Re: AMAZING PTR Change for us Hunters.
I've never heard of a healer complain about pets being too big O_o I mean, even if you have the default UI, you can heal virtually without every having to click the actual characters. If your healer is complaining about pets being "too big", then I would say remind them that they aren't healing right because they shouldn't need to actually "click" on a character XDWykea wrote: A glyph that makes pets bigger?

Re: AMAZING PTR Change for us Hunters.
If you want to look at it from an outside perspective, pets are mindless buff-bots to begin with. Their "happiness" was just a buff/debuff that fluctuated depending on if you fed it/spammed mend pet. Scarily enough there are hunters who see their pets as this from the beginning - a pet is not inherently 'live' when you make a hunter. :P Addons, imagination and a general care for the clump of pixels makes it more than a buff-bot. Happiness and loyalty being gone will not change that at all.Saturo wrote:Healers should not complain about the size of any mob.

(Also I have no idea why you would want loyalty back. Good Grom could you imagine the tears when someone's Loque/Sambas/Chromaggus ran away due to not knowing how it works/a mistake on their part?)
