Suggestions for our Lurker.. ;)

[Wark]

More of a bugfix (I suspect): FIX DUST CLOUD (tallstriders). Currently:

• melee range
• instant
• 20% melee and ranged slow
• 8 sec duration
• 40 sec cooldown (20% uptime at best)

Compared to the fox family's Tailspin:

• melee range
• instant
• 20% melee & ranged slow
• 30 sec duration
• 25 sec cooldown (100% uptime, easily)

Please fix the duration and cooldown timers to make them more equal!

[Malazee]

Ravager's Ravage ability is still broken. Even though the ability is no longer a stun, it still suffers from diminishing returns and (even weirder) they are Stun diminishing returns. As in, if you use ravage on a mob it won't be stunned, but trying to use actual stuns on that mob will be less effective because Ravage is setting off the DR. Needless to say it's been a huge PITA on HLK ever since.

I believe it's been a known issue ever since the first pet ability revamp, but it still hasn't been fixed.

If the lurker still around, cheers! May as well toss my hat in.

1) Rak'Shiri to retain the aqua saber cat skin and instead give the white striped saber cat skin to King Bangalash perhaps?

2) More Devilsaurs skins, including a new model?

3) New Stegodon/Pterodactyl family

4) Make Fox family cunning. Or just plain crazy.

5) Return Eyes of the Beast

6) Allow Argent Squire to be a Stable Boy for hunters? Just thinking, he already runs all the way to bank for us, just a hop over to the stable can't hurt?

He could RIDE our pets to the town and drop off the pets while he's away! XD

Nah, just joking.

That would be AWESOME, though.

Please remove the cat shaped spirit beast slobber noise. x_x It's disconcerting. I can handle body parts, horrible death and ick but ... slobber bugs me for some reason and I like to play with sound on. Though, thanks to an awesome petopian I'm modding in a fix. Also Gondria is a ghost. Is ghost drool ectoplasm?

You say that now until the inevitable bear mauling or mind controlling from a brain bug. Or a LION TO THE FACE.

And you shall name him Slimer....

[Davarra]

Not terribly important, but it would be nice to have the summoning effects back on Arikara and Gezzarak...

Ohhh yes, I would love this!

My belf hunter tamed Arikara for that summoning animation (and because I like wind serpents)!
It was really fun to summon my pet and have Abracadabra appear in a dramatic puff of smoke with a flourish of his wings.

Seconded! (Thirded?)

I miss that with Ari!

[Ebonrook]

With the removal of the crow and raven (black druid flight form models) from the Carrion Bird family, could we please get a tamable crow/raven model to go in their place? I notice that there are critters in-game that could translate to such a thing.

http://www.wowhead.com/npc=41651#.

Also, please fix the broken flying animation plaguing many of our winged lovelies. I have opted against taming several beasts (IE: Condors, the Daggercap Hawk, etc...) because they just look ridiculous.

[Narzul]

1. Exotic ferocity pet with an AoE ability like worm's Burrow for BM AoE.

2. Dargonhawk pet + companion with dark skin (like Sagan). My belf lock really wants one.

3. Tamable Kodos \ Clefthoofs.

4. Wish since vanilla - two-pets-at-once BM ability \ proc. Second pet can have reduced stats \ limited duration etc.

[Kaellan]

I'm a big kitty fan. I want to thank you for all the changes in the cat skins. I would still like to see the ice blue model (not sure what the offical name is). Its white with the blue fur at the top. I also looking forward to taming one of the new maned lions. Hopefully they won't be hard to get to

[Chin Music]

These aren't my suggestions so much as a wishlist.

-Merge Sporebats and Nether Rays into one family. The free ability can be given to another family with a duplicate ability, or make room for another family. It's not like new Sporebats and Nether Rays are going to be added any time soon.
-Remove Spirit Beast family. This one I know won't happen because people love it, but I just don't like the idea of a family made entirely of rare spawns with similar appearance themes (ghostliness, glowing). I'd prefer for those rare looks to simply be looks for the beast's respective families. Skoll would be a wolf, Arcturis would be a bear, etc.
-Serpent family could use a new model type.
-More families in general, even if they are exotics. Basilisks, Thunder Lizards, Clefthoofs or entirely new creatures.
-For the love of god more Stable Masters in Orgrimmar.

[Alastiel]

I just realised that there is one more tiny little thing that I really wish was tameable. If it was, that would really make me incredibly happy.
It's the Ethereal Frostworg, summoned by the daily quest "Spy Hunter" for the Sons of Hodir.



I've been hoping that this one would be made tameable for a long time, since the Disembodied Jormungar in the same area (and from a daily for the same faction) are already tameable.
I am a fan of ghost pets, and while it is absolutely fantastic that the Lone Hunter is tameable, I personally prefer the Northrend Worgs. Especially the white ones.

There. Now I'm really, really done. Thank you again for eveything that you have done.

Tame Gryphons and Hippogryphs.
Fox spirit beast. Many tails…fire themed.
New colors for the Sambas/Alliance lion model. White/Black
Give Warp Stalkers their Warp ability back.
Ability for Idle pets to Sit. Like the Fox the hunter Trainer in Goldshire has.
Birds should be able to land and chill out while idle.
Chimeras need an animation for standing.

But by far my Number one concern and the easiest fix is the Roar/slobber sound all the cats make. Please remove/change it. Back in TBC I abandoned my Rak’Shiri cause I could not listen to that anymore. I used My white lion instead….but now all the cats and cat SB make that awful sound



P.S. The Fiery Hippogryph from the Trading card game would make a sweet Spirit Beast.

[Katja]

I want a Collie so bad. I'm making a petition to put them in <_>

[Nemera]

I dont see the reality in hippogryphs and gryphons as pets i d love to see it i just dont see it fitting
same for mamoths eleks horses and stags of the like
I love all the new cats i wanna see more how about a stealthed sand tiger in the dawnsaber/mount style skin
as per rak /shy id hate to have to tame rak a 4th time to make sure the right .. toon has my rumor blue cat again ... but i could concider it if They make siam something other than a Lion Make shy the white starter frostsaber and her mate the all white no stripe frostsaber (Or the icy blue one )instead i mean come on Lion/tiger we have Tigon offspring? o.O Or make King B the saber mount and leave the rake/shy blue beauties
umm Chimeras plz need more skin love dragonhawks would be awsome also
what about Bagthera/Sim dal from STV they could use a bit of upgraded look as well as King B
Thanks for all that been offered even if i am NOW working on MY third hunter because 50 slots isnt enough
cheers

I want Eyes of the Beast back

I don't know why it was removed in the first place. I know Blizzard wanted to reduce "ability bloat" for hunters, but EotB didn't need to take up space on your bars. It was just a fun ability you could use from your spellbook. The "move to" command, as useful as it is, isn't quite the same. Can't we have both?

Oh, and one more thing. Ancient Hysteria is controlled by the pet GCD, so it's hard to make it go off while Bite/Claw/etc is active. You either have to spam the button like crazy until it triggers, or switch your pet's attack off while you cast it. Can it be changed so it can be cast at the same time as the basic pet abilities? I've suggested this on the official forum, but might as well post it here too.

[Cerah]

I know you're a developer concerned with pet design, "Noah", but maybe you can talk to one of the quest designers.

Please, ask them to reconsider the quest lines for Shatterspear Village. Change them in a patch, do something other than causually allowing the extinction of an entire Troll Tribe, especially one I had been really looking forward to visiting there legitimately as a Horde player who loves Trolls.

Everyone thought that the Shatterspears might have been entering the Horde, maybe adding to the Darkspears' knowledge of Druidism. The current alliance questline for the area, as well as the fact there's nothing for Horde players to do there, sucks. Pure and simple. Cataclysm has been overall a really fun experience so far, but this aspect is just sad. When I learned that Garrosh pushed the Shatterspears into war and the night elves retaliated by pretty much wiping out the tribe, after years of sharing Darkshore in peace ... well, I kind of cried.

As for your own work, I'm thrilled! I'm absolutely loving having room for so many new pets, having my Chromaggus, everything you've done for hunters and their pets have been amazing! But could you please mention this irksome issue regarding the Shatterspear Trolls to somebody who can do something about it?

Thank you for listening, and thanks again for everything you have done.

[Davarra]

Seconded, please...I always thought better of Tyrande than this.

[Elo]

What is a war movie/game without tragedy? I think it the extinction of the Shatterspears lends it’s self perfectly to the theme of warcraft and enriches its tapestry.

Flawed leaders.
Corrupt Nations
Emotion overriding reason

If the Story of World of Warcraft managed to elicit real emotions of sadness and loss or joy and triumph, that means its being written well.

If you liked trolls then you are supposed to feel bad about the loss of the shatterspear tribe. You are supposed to feel angry at and be hurt by the characters involved. Garrosh and Tyrande are both flawed characters, being carried along in the crushing wave of world shattering events.
