Stables

[Mac]

So... has there been any discussion as to whats being done about stable slots? I'm sorry if this has been asked before. My girlfriend and I are avid pet collectors. We do not want to abandon our babies just to make room for the new skins.

It seems as if Blizz has set up the stables to allow for more "pages" but we haven't heard of anything official.

TY in advance, Hensley and Elsbeth

Hi and welcome to the posting side of the forums!

As of this moment, we haven't heard anything about new stable slots being added. I'm afraid there will be some tough choices ahead for you both.

Unless you want to make another hunter on the other faction or of a different race!

Not that any of us collect hunters just to collect pets *cough*

[WildcatTM]

I have 5, soon to be 6, so ... I collect hunters, too!

Yep. No hunter collecting here... Not at all.



(I feel you, though. My main has so many fuzzy/feathered/scaled/ghostly friends, and loves them all... But she also loves making new friends. She refuses to get rid of any of her babies, though. So if no slots are added, there will be no new pets for her in MoP.)

Same here, though once they reach the max level I stick to my main hunter because she has all the best gear.... Which means I don't get to play with the pets on my alt hunters. Yes I'd like to have more spots, but more so I can play with them on my main hunter and have all her gear upgraded. I don't like the idea of collecting the same gear on multiple hunters.

That would be my other reason for hoping they do increase stables, or at least make the option available to purchase for those who would like it (as I understand there are some who aren't so keen on this).

I can't do the whole leveling the same class over and over, so my other hunters are all pretty low, mixed levels. It's just too redundant for me. But at the same time, hunter was my first class, and is my favorite to this day, and the one thing I enjoy above all else is hunting for pets. It really is a passion in the game to me, so seeing all the new pets, especially the water striders and basilisks (waited for years for these guys), it hurts thinking that I won't be able to tame them when MoP hits live, simply because my stable is full on the character that will be venturing out first, even before my DK or shaman. I do really hope that they do give us at least a little something towards stable slots, but if they don't... Oh, well. No shiny new friends for this huntress.

I never thought about starting another hunter....hmmmm...could be like a male version of my current hunter..MAYBE her long lost brother!!! OH cool!! Now i have some creative work to do. Thanks for the idea guys

Ok we have account wide mounts, pets and achievements. Isn't it about time for account wide pets?

oh god no!!!!
I have at least 6 hunters per account (on three accounts).
And they each have their own thing.

I definitely wouldn't want my stables clogged up with the wrong hunter's pets.

But Blizzard could triple the stable slots and still use half the storage space in your case. It would save Blizzard space in enough to make it worth it. Keep from have to hunt down rares on my other Hunters. Talents are already stripped when they are stabled why not strip levels also so even your alts can use them!

I'm with Sukurachi; the pets I have in my stable on one hunter, I would never have on another - rare or otherwise. Such a setup might be convenient for hunters who don't do that, but it would mess up the rest of us.

[Danielfboone]

I only have two Hunters, Danielfboone as a NE and on the Horde side, an Undead Hunter named DanielBone. In the beta and in PTR's I use the name Davycrockelf. I would like to see a bigger stable but not shared pets.

First thing though, they need to fix the stable bugs and talent losses before the prepatch hits.

[Undra]

When I rolled my second hunter, my guild boggled, when my third joined, after a good laugh we ended up renaming the class in my honor.

I don't know if Mists is going to necessitate a fourth hunter, but they might toss me in a padded room if I make one.

[Sukurachi]

after barely four?
how cruel!

I've literally stopped counting how many of my toons are Hunters... it's easier for me to count non-hunting classes, especially if I start taking into consideration toons on other servers than my mains.

[Lycanthrope]

I wish they would just go all out and give us around 100 slots.

That would satisfy my need of pets and only having one slot for my hunter (I have one of each class on SoE).

But alas, Blizzard is not that considerate (yet).

[Meggers]

Honestly I'd love if you could make all 50 toons on one server. I know we have the 50 per account cap, but I'd like a higher per server cap seeing as there are no longer faction restrictions to speak of.

[Equeon]

I honestly think that no more stable slots should be added, ever.
Maybe 1 at the most, per expansion.
The way I see it:

You generally have your top 5 pets with you, or at least the pets you need with you. The other few favorites are frequently switched out.
The rest are ones you really like, but perhaps don't have the greatest bond with.
"Limited" space -- although I was never around for pre-Cata expansions, my mind boggles at the idea of having one, three, or five pets only -- forces you to make real decisions about the pets you want. "I really want this shiny new goat/basilisk/waterstrider/crane/etc! Hmm, how much do I use this seagull? He was kinda a whim tame anyway... SWAP!"

If you still need more slots, or are deeply attached to all of your 25 pets equally, then you make another hunter. It's as simple as that. Maybe your other hunter can bond with some new pets you'd never think of taming before!
