Losing Hati in Next Expansion
But if they deactivate the artifacts or remove them all together are we losing Hati as Beast Masters all together? Would suck e.e".
Put this up because it seems like Legion expansion is already coming to a close and kept hearing the Artifacts will be deactivated or broken entirely as some final plot when we fight Sargeras himself like how Frostmourne was shattered by Tirion (despite dk's artifacts have you locate the fragments).

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
My other pet is wailing away on the enemy, and Hati is still obliviously licking his nether regions.
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
And yes the AI is terrible and having Hati out makes me a "wide load," aggroing stuff in dungeons and raids. People practically make bets on which hunter's pets will aggro a trash pack during raid.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I feel like it's a fun gimmick for Legion, but not something I'd want permanently unless it was tweaked a lot more and we were able to choose our own pets. I would be fine with Hati staying with the Artifact itself as flavour though, so even once the weapon is no longer relevant, if you equipped it in the future just for fun you could visit with your Hati, like old trinkets that have unique call-guardian effects that people keep for aesthetic instead of practical use.
Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I would like a second pet but (i) probably not Hati - I've changed his shape so many times I have no attachment to him as a character - and (ii) only if they do it better. Second pet handling is still not right (even though there have been tweaks and improvements) and last time I checked on the 7.2 PTR there were still issues with Hati's responses. Maybe that's been fixed since I last tested? Either way, the reaction time of the developers to Hunter issues (mechanical issues that have existed since ALPHA) suggests to me that they don't have enough resources to do the job well and are possibly too spread out over classes. If so, then no, definitely no second pet if they can't guarantee doing it properly.
I'm also suspicious (never confirmed) that having a second pet is the reason that our pet reactions / follow movements seem to be on some freaking awful ticker now, i.e. why sometimes it takes 0.5 sec to respond and other times 2 sec. I suspect it's to lower the cost of managing two pets. If that's the case I'd rather go back to just one pet. I believe the current situation is not a suitable compromise.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
Heard that all artifacts were gonna become like gray 50 copper pieces because of some event rendering them useless which would kill off Hati entirely then but would love to see bm keeping two pets and a thumbs up if it was giving us the option of just using our own pets.Vephriel wrote:It's kind of neat for the expansion, but I won't miss Hati myself. I wasn't really a fan of having a second beast shoehorned in for my hunters, though I'm very grateful we got the option to customize him. Even then, without being able to rename him, I never felt very attached. The best part for me so far is being able to have 2 birds out on my very bird-oriented hunter, but even that I can replicate with minipets.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I am not attached to Hati himself but I am at having two pets even though one doesn't work right.
It's not just aesthetics either. Hati may not provide the largest DPS boost but he does provide something. And I'm sorry but I'm not LEET, top geared etc so every little bit helps. There have been several times when I've been caught with a dead pet, trying to rez it and Hati kills it, runs back to me, howls, scratches hit fleas and my revived pet looking like . In a way I don't feel it's right to just take that away.
I mean. We're going to have ............ a year .......... I reckon running with two damage dealing pets. Then to have one just taken away. Not cool.
But that's my opinion

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
As for Hati himself... I may be alone (and thats ok) but I love Hati. I know lore wise it would make sense if he 'died' with the artifact. But frankly, post Legion, I'd really love it if there was some way to keep him as an additional pet (in the stable, to use when we want, etc.). Heck, even if he became a Spirit Beast to argue we saved him from death or something would be fine. Or just make the skin tameable somewhere so I can re-tame and keep "Hati". IDK.
All I know is that in regards to Hati himself, saying good-bye to him will be the hardest part of leaving Legion and Titanstrike behind
Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
And BM hunters should get a talent to have two pets out at once.
Kunchong for hunter pets!

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
Returning to the topic at hand, for the sake of those who grew attached to having Hati around, I hope that when artifacts go boom, the wolf's link with the hunter keeps him alive. I mean, we gave the weapon so much power - preserving the pup is the least that can be done. So Hati becomes a normal Hunter pet, pretty much better looking but derpier Skoll.
Mechanically, I - really - hope that there will be Lone Wolf, BM style: a talent that will allow the hunter to use only one stronger pet. Alternatively, that sort of thing can be baseline and another talent can allow Hunter to use 2 pets. There are problems with it: how the damage will distribute between 2 actual pets, what abilities the second pet will have, etc. But at this point, I really can not think about anything else.
P.S. And I really hope Blizzard re-evaluates spec design for Legion and takes a long, hard look at how the three played in MoP / WoD. The current versions are all very sad.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
It also means that if you have a follower with you (which seems to be a model they like having), then suddenly you're not a player, you're a mob scene. I've been relying on Hemet for that reason; he just shows up, shoots something for some extra dps, and then goes away, he isn't trying to get in my business all the time. I suppose... if they do keep it, it should be an option like the flame orbs on Felo'melorn. Just visit some Valarjar npc hanging out in a city after the expac and say 'hey can I hang out with Hati for awhile' and they can turn it on for you. Or off.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
See this is actually one of the tiny reasons I like him. Probably the only reason. The other day I fell off a cliff side (I'm clumsy don't judge) I survived with 10% health however my pet was like "screw you I ain't jumping down there" while Hati was DETERMINED to make a 1-ups-man-ship game out of it and repeatedly jump down, yelp then manifest up where my pets stayed, rinse repeat. I had to dismiss them and summon them to get it to stop. It did make me laugh but at the same time was very irritating. His derpy ways as anger making they can be is just him. That's Hati. *shrug*Nachtwulf wrote:I'm a little split. On one hand, two pets does fit the BM conceit in a big way. But I also find myself perpetually infuriated by how unwieldy having two pets out is. Hati likes to stand on shit i'm trying to loot. Hati likes to forget he's supposed to be attacking things. Hati likes to follow me off ledges and fall repeatedly to earth in my wake.
Hence why having only one pet after spending so much time with Hati is going to be kind of hard to do.

Just get it the hell away from me. I will be so glad when 8.0 or whatever hits and I can shelve this stupid ugly gun and its stupid derpy wolf forever.
