Re: So which pets will you tame, and how will you make room?

Skarr and maaaaybe Ban'thalos. Not a huge fan of spiders and I already have a spectral tiger in Gondria.

Re: Quick question [PTR]

I really, really, reeeeeally think Blizz should simply retire the bronze and blue Madexx IDs, leave the red/green/black IDs intact, and make the commons stable colors. You know, even though I'd like my blue becoming red I have to say I agree with this, existing tamed pets shouldn't really be change...

Re: Quick question [PTR]

I can definitely sympathize with the people who went out to find blue and/or bronze and now get their pet changed, but for me this change is good. The only Madexx I've ever seen in the wild (alive or dead) is my current blue one and I like the red color a lot better.

Re: GAAH!!! Lost a blue Madexx to an undead rogue.

Also, could people *please* stop assuming that everyone who plays a rogue is underhanded and does cheap shots in real life? I thought this was a role playing game... Fair point. But I've had far, far, far too many undead rogues bouncing around like a 4-year-old on meth chain-sap me, and whatever th...

Re: GAAH!!! Lost a blue Madexx to an undead rogue.

I guess my point on the 'mere technicality' needs to be rephrased as well. If you are trying to tame a beast and someone else who arrived at the same time kills it, you aren't really going to care who got the tag on the mob (assuming that said mob drops a Tear of Loyalty, as is the case with Madexx...

Re: GAAH!!! Lost a blue Madexx to an undead rogue.

I said that squares are probably going to be rectangles, and you objecting to my supposed accusation that all rectangles are squares? I did not accuse all rogues of being jerks, I merely speculated that jerks may be more likely to play rogues - which does not suggest that no kind and decent people ...

Re: GAAH!!! Lost a blue Madexx to an undead rogue.

I can't honestly say that I wouldn't have attempted the tame myself given the same situation. But is it also a technicality the other way? I would have been (and have been in the past) furious if I had tagged a mob and someone else ends up killing it. Also, could people *please* stop assuming that e...

Re: Hunting for King Krush

When I found him the first time he was already being moonfired and whatnot by a moonkin. Second time he was tagged by another hunter, tame in progress. So yeah, the hypothesis that he's not alive for long in the wild is probably true.

Though if you persist you will be rewarded in the end :)

Re: GAAH!!! Lost a blue Madexx to an undead rogue.

Well, since I'm the bad guy here, does it help that I just gave a red Madexx to some other hunter?.. SHeesh. Next time if I see a rogue approach a rare, I'll quietly fly away if he happens to tag a second before I do. I'm not at all suggesting you're the bad guy and I sincerely doubt anyone else we...

Re: GAAH!!! Lost a blue Madexx to an undead rogue.

In general I agree with first tag gets the kill/tame.

Also: There are people frequenting these forums that have undead rogue alts... or even (ex-)mains. (shocking, I know!)

Re: How do you choose?

I'm mostly PvP'ing at the moment so I tend to just use Loque since I don't want to advertise my spec. He's the only one that to the untrained eye (from a distance) doesn't scream "spirit beast". Also, I quite like him :). If I was doing PvE I'd probably go with Gondria, there's just someth...

Re: New shale spider ability.

It used to be listed at http://ptr.wowhead.com/spell=96201 though wowhead now claims the spell (ability) doesn't exists. Was this changed? Could anyone on the PTR confirm?

Google cache says 3 sec stun, 45 sec cooldown. Hope it stays that way :)

Re: Find a rare you can't tame and shake like a leaf!

Very nice :)

Has only happened once with me so far, I saw Terrorpene wandering around all alone at around 3am. No hunters I knew around at the time so I just left the area.

Re: Ghostcrawler too easy?

I initially thought that Ghostcrawler would be easy as well. Though when I finally found him down in the depths then I already had most of the other Cata rares and about three weeks had passes since release.

Hope I never see that part of the zone again.

Re: Old World Cat Love: Edit: Who to Keep, Who to Lose

My stable is now completely full. So yeah, a fully fledged farm would be welcome ;) Though there's a few pets I wouldn't be overly sad about releasing: the oily wolf, my brilliant macaw, numaroc, echeyakee, my newly acquired moth and the flaming boar (though I'd rather want to keep that for show).

Re: Views on Frostbitten ?

While I'd personally rather want a beast to be tamed by a hunter who wants to actively use it as a pet instead of being killed, I can't really see the difference between killing Loque for an achievement and killing Jadefang for the non-combat pet. None of them gives you an advantage in anything and ...
