I agree with several people in this thread that we have only scratched the surface, on a quarter of the new tameable rares have been discovered!!! They certainly can't/wont be all SBs, since that would overly favor the BM hunters!!!

I also love the idea of the taming challenge and also would love to see a hunter specific taming achievement tied with these rares or perhaps in a future patch!!! It would be cool to have to tame the 8 challenging rares and then get an achievement title or even perhaps another reward? If they are hard and rare then perhaps accomplishing the achievement rewards the hunter with a unique companion pet, mount, or even a special combat pet?

Sorry, just letting the creative juices takeover!!!

Thus far, I'm not impressed. Recolors/Reskins of current pets is meh imo. Sure the challenge might be... fun? Sure, i appreciate the attention to the hunter class, but if this trend continues, I'll actually thank Blizzard, as i won't have to camp any more rarespawns, of which i am currently very fed up with.

EDIT: Lack of stable space (never thought id say that after getting 25 spots) kinda makes me indifferent about rare pets any more.

*le faint* No way! I demand more stable space, Blizzard, make it so!

That would be cool! I think for the rarest of the rare that would be nice, like the TLPD and the FoS. But that would favour hunters more achievement points over every other class. I mean, I know the Big B likes us, but I don't think they'll go out of their way to give us more AP's.

Now this sounds awesome. If it was an achievement it should be a FoS that also comes with a title or pet or mount.

Oooh, I'd love to see another Dragonhawk in game that's not found in a Raid or Dungeon setting. Been trying to tame the blue one for weeks with no success.

Well, it's a nice spot! Perfect for showing off a new animal and enjoying the scenery. And, of course, that statue at the back doesn't help!

I was super disappointed at first but the more I see Ban'thalos the more fond of him I become. I love the effect on his wings.

I'm not a fan or the spiders but I do think they look pretty neat. I highly doubt I'll ever get one, since I'm pretty much a noob! X) I love the blue Magria kitty although the other I find kinda plain. When I look at it, it looks like the frostsaber saber model only see-through-y. I could see how that could be cool for an RP story... Saber kitty spirit??

Anyway, I feel that a lot of this whining is unnecessary. Nothing had to be added at all and these will definitely provide a challenge for some people. I'll admit that I wish there had been something else but does that mean Blizzard is lazy or doesn't care about their users? No! I really feel that some people have expectations that are MUCH too high. If everything was added that everyone wanted, not only would there be a MILLION models but everything would be a "special snowflake" so to speak and therefore not really be all that special anymore. That's just my take on it. ;)

I have to admit I don't understand the recoloring or whatever. Is it really a recolor or is it a separate model? Or both? lol Either way, I like them both better than Gondria because her colors don't really suit my hunter.

Good luck to everyone planning on hunting these guys! I can't help but feel you're going to need it, lol.

Sasrei put up pics of him and Olm next to each other in the owl thread. :) The difference is HUGE and gets even bigger with BW up.

I can't emphasize enough how eye-poppingly bright these three all are. It hurts me to look at them for extended periods of time! :lol:
