I have to wonder after seeing this thread... how many petopians will log in next to the same rare because of CRZ? Lol.

I just hope people keep it civil. If someone is mid tame and it's not tagged, don't tag it yourself, or try to break the tame of theirs. xD

I'm so sad that Sunwing lost its armor

Almost thinking of unsubbing because I really love armored beast, even though it is only ptr :(

Well, that's that. Only the Mana Wyrms remain and if they get reverted too, then there's nothing for me to really tame this patch.

I like Gib yeah, but just for 'the lulz'.

So while I lament the loss of Sunwing's armor, I do really like the black dragonhawk skin. It's probably a bug, but if he's your active pet, on the character select screen his armor is still on. :)

So far I'll be camping for Sunwing, Skyshadow, Quall, and probably either the aqua or red arcane serpent. So many cool things coming for Hunters!

Makes sense for the other lands animals to make it over to azeroth though, people always bring things to other lands IRL and let them loose or they get free. Invasive species!

...I want my armored sunwing back. That skin was something ive wanted since I first saw it along long time ago. It was the first rare I was actually sooo excited I screamed now im so sad... I will be extremely sad if they dont give that skin back. The name does not fit that color at all, if anything just switch Manas to black and put the armor skin back on sunwing... *cry*

Havent found any new ones so far just changes to old ones.. and one im extremely upset about.

Plus no news about a spirit beast.. I want my SB!

Have to say I'm pretty happy about Sunwing loosing the armor. He was the only dragonhawk to tempt me into owning a dragonhawk with the armor. Now that he lost it I don't have to find stable space to clear out for him. (Still upset about it a bit too though.. meh)

Irked about Chromehound if I think about it. I had to pay a decent chunk of gold to bribe a group to go with me to tame Chromaggus. I didn't have a guild that had other people in it then and was really wanting him. Kinda irked I paid so much gold then and they make a easier to find version of him... but I'll get over it.

Love, love, love the new arcane serpents and will be getting one of those as well.

Sad that they have added so many new cats. Duskcoat is really tempting and I don't need any more cats in my stables! Le sigh. Might have to make room for him. Now if only they would release the blonde sabercat!!!

Hopefully they'll have short timers and everyone can play nice.

Le sigh. Sunwing with armour and ghostly blue gem owl were what had me interested in the new rares. Oh well. At least I don't have to shuffle around Kal or Tae's stables much as. Though some of those wind serpents are pretty.

Well im going around seeing which windserpent ill be taming. Tamed both Manas and Sunwing and really neither of them I like so much.. Sunwing just does not fit his name at all... I really fell inlove with that other skin so looks like I wont be taming a dragonhawk.

The cats eh.. I dont mind them I just really wish that golden saber kitty popped up.

Hopefully Sunwing and Manas will get the armored skin and black skin respectively. But in the meantime... I'm still gonna get Sunwing (first or second on the server, depends on Jet ;3). Probably name him Moonwing or something. The skin is still stunning enough to make me want one.

I am loving some of the new color combinations for the new pets. I just hope that they eventually add some combinations with the regular wind serpent instead of just the outlands one since we only have one regular wind serpent with a mixture of two different colors so far.
I would love to see these three combos(especially the first one.)

The beauty of the Outland wind serpents is that the body and wings both incorporate some of the skins of each other. So the fins along the back of the body use the colour from the wing skin and some of the wing uses the body skin. As a result, the blending of two colours comes across as almost seamless.

Unfortunately the same isn't true of the old wind serpents. Like them or not, there's quite an abrupt difference between wing and body colour. I assume this is why it's only even been done once (red body / orange wings). And even then I found it personally to be a bit jarring.
