According to a poster on the beta forums, foxes now have their own family instead of sharing with the wolf family.

Anyone in beta care to confirm this?

Edit: Apparently, they also have prowl now.

*Is surprised and relieved*

Can confirm. The blue fox in my stable is no longer a wolf, but a fox.. I'll post screenies in am in.

On a side note...3 of my 4 spirit beast + king krush was wiped from my stable

Also they got rid of Call Stable Pet

Now there is an ability called, "Call pet #1-5" that you have to train.
Still have the "Call pet" you click it and it pops out the pets you have 'on you' and you pick one to summon it.

Also "Mastery" is trainable now O.o

Oh man, sorry to hear about your pets. I know I'd be heartbroken if that happened to my pets. The new stable ability seems pretty nifty though! What skills do foxes come with? (At least now I won't have five pets from the wolf family *cough*IwillhavetencatsinCatacylsm*cough* )

Eh...its just beta....I guess...*sniffs*

Strangely enough, they come with prowl and bite. Their talent tree is lacking dash though.

Sucks. Gotta dismiss the pet before I can summon another.

Foxes health is bugged as well. 6.8k with my crappy gear and pet talents...lol?

Ah-HA! Explains why cat prowl is screwed up too. It won't stay on bars, and it turns on automatically.

It's still sad not knowing you faithful friends are with you, even if it is beta.

So now they're...cat-dogs? O_O I'm so confused! But then again, for a pet who's skins come with the tag "mist fox" it is pretty fitting. Do they still have the same animations and sounds of the old wolves? Odd about dash though, hopefully Blizz adds that back in for these guys.

Actually I think Foxes are more closely related to the feline family irl anyways? So prowl would make sense >.> idk lol


Awww crap.

The health on all my pets is bugged at 6k.

Nah, foxes irl are in the canine family with dogs, wolves, coyotes, and raccoon dogs. XD It's hyenas which are closely related to the feline family.

Good to hear! It seemed so odd for them to be lumped in with Wolves. I think Prowl is quite fitting for them actually. Foxes often make you think of sneaky, surreptitious creatures. :3

All the more reason to rename min "Gin"....sneaky bastard.

GRRRR, stupid beta downloader is bugged for me and my guildies. I'm still dying to get on and have a look at Zavas! Can't wait to play with the new fox build!!!

I still think foxes shouldn't share the ability with cats. Doesn't each family have a unique talent? What about....

Tackle: The fox tackles the enemies, leaping through the air and stunning them for X seconds.

Hmm, I don't think foxes leap

You know what I mean though. xD

Hrm...

Snarl: The fox snarls and bares its teeth, causing the enemy to run away in fear for four seconds?

Pet health is officially bugged for my character Muramasa. I abandoned and retamed with no luck. Going to see if my premade is bugged as well.

Yep bugged for premade as well.

Not to derail or anything, but since it is making me download a 1.3GB patch and I started off at 92% complete (from last week's patch.. I am guessing) and not 100% with 4.4GB remaining like I was yesterday... does the tea in Japan tastes the same as China tea?

Err.. wait... what?

I meant to ask if the landscape still takes 5-10sec to load after you log onto the game... or does the 8% more I am downloading fix that issue now?

This reminds me of how Spirit Beasts have Prowl. And all the speculations that went into the mystery of Spirit Beasts (before they were known). Blizzard seems to like/get lazy and do just that now. And I don't think that foxes should have "Prowl". Dogs are not like graceful cats.
