4.3 Hopes

[Acherontia]

Yeah, I think it was way back at WotLK release or so. They went from vying for my favorite pet type to... well, not : /

[Dvatori]

I would love for the prowl bug to be fixed.

[Yaone]

My personal hope is also the prowl fix.

A high quality wolf model would be amazing! (not the horde mount)

Please don't hurt me for this one, but I would love to see on the test realm, Sian/Echy with their whiskers clipped off. Don't keep it that way if people don't like it, but just to see how it would look.

[Shlee]

Hydras!

Love me some hydras.

Would also really like to see that awful birdy-butt-dragging movement animation to be gone for good. Eiighghghk! I take my oil-hawk Cringe out for a spin and well. Cringe proceeds to live up to his namesake.

I know it'd likely never happen- But I'd love to see the Corpse Scarabs reduced to their proper tiny stature. They were just so sweet and endearing! Also on the list of 'Likely wont happen but shall mention anyway': A tamable firehawk. Just one. Man oh man to I die a little inside having to kill them for the quest dailies. If the druids of the talon get to try raising them, shouldn't -we-, the taming stuff experts get to have a shot too? Eh? Eeeeh? ... I'll shush now.

[Kurenio]

Only after charhounds :O

[Kuraine]

Yep. Charhounds. They look far too amazing to not be tameable, I'll pass on Firehawks though, imo they're horribly made.

[Nubhorns]

Yep. Charhounds. They look far too amazing to not be tameable, I'll pass on Firehawks though, imo they're horribly made.

I'm of the exact opposite opinion(and evidently the minority), hah. There's something about the firehawks that I find adorable - the animations were charming enough on a proto-drake, but seeing a bird go through the sniff-sniff-squawk animations and sort of hunch over like the proto's do is something I really love. At the same time, though, I can't really say I want them to be tameable. Everything from their appearance to their mannerisms just strikes me as a little too feral to really be tamed.

Charhounds I just don't like at all. They're shiny, yeah, but I don't want a skeleton for a pet.

[Kuraine]

I just think it was so lazy for them to use the proto-drake animations and skeleton for them, plus to me it just doesn't suit them at all. Their wings look stiff and funny. And their skins are far too bright, when we first saw that picture on MMO Champion of the mount firehawk and everyone and their mum freaked out about it, I couldn't help but cringe a little at how bad they looked standing up like that. I couldn't undestand at all how it was a mount, how were you meant to sit on something that stood up so straight? And I was a little blinded by it's insanely bright colours, so that really doesn't help. I really do hate them, sigh.

Like when the Troll druid forms came out I thought it was some kinda joke. Everyone else thought they were amazing. I don't understand. :/

[Vephriel]

I really love the proto-drake animations on the fire hawks, I think it really suits them. They look good with the base skeleton.

I'm not sure if I'd want a fire hawk as a pet, but charhounds are definitely one I'd drool over. They have so much personality to me. ^^

[Lupis]

Prowl bug, be fixed!

Butt dragging birds, please, gods, be fixed!

Old hyenas!

That's... all... I want, really. >.>

[Silivren]

Please fix the armor on the mounts to be the shiny armor it once was! As in sabers, talbuks, horses, raptors etc.. Its so dark and..yuck shadow bugged to me. : /

[Aritria]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this sentiment, but:
We can haz updated models on Vanilla Races, yes?

I mean, not in the next patch, but eventually, yes?

[Evolet]

I'd really like some new cat skins. Dawnsaber?

Also I know a lot of people think this is silly, but more stable space. If they're going to keep adding awesome rares, they should give us more space for those of us who are addicted to the hunt.

Also updated vanilla models would be AWESOME. Goblins and Worgen are a lot more detailed than the original races and they almost seem out-of-place.. I'd like some updated troll models especially.

[Nubhorns]

I believe Word of God was "The art team really wants to, but we're awfully busy.". You know, making new pet skins for us. And gear tiers. And boss models. And everything else. :P

[Kuraine]

Personally I think an update to the older race models would be a lot more important than any of them that Nubhorns listed. Why? Because when we're online, we're CONSTANTLY seeing our characters. I've recently started playing a Forsaken priest and it took me a while to do it, simply because I was too used to the smoother models of my Blood Elf and Worgen.

What annoys me is when they upgrade models for NPCs, a good example being Nozdormu. Okay, so, he's got a Night Elf model with a Blood Elf-y-ish skin but it's super awesome looking. How come they can upgrade the base Night Elf model to suit random NPCs that we'll barely ever see and they can't update our characters with some of the same base models to look good as well? Compare a Tauren female to a Worgen female, and you can instantly see the difference. And standing them next to each other just makes Tauren look worse. (Not saying that the Worgen females came out perfect, haha.)

I remember a while back a blue poster saying something about it too. I think they dropped it into the 'soon' section though.

Ha, yes. I love the logic.

Art Developer 1:"Okay, art team! We can update the models, or we can make new hunter pets."
Art Developer 2:"Well, the hunters have been QQing that our latest 10 rares weren't good enough for them and they were all reskins and said."
Art Developer 1:"Huh, well. Screw new models, more hunter pets!"
Art Team: "Yay!"
Hunters: "Yay!"
Everyone Else: "Wait, WTF?"

[Darven]

Call me crazy but...
Does the idea of Hunters having a Class mount sound good? I mean, if we can tame numerous amounts of beasts of all shapes and sizes, why can we not have a quest of some sort to go tame our class mount. Im not saying we can tame anything as our mount, Im saying we need to have a quest to tame THE class mount. If the pallies can have a mount from there order, the locks can summon 1 up, and the DKs can bring theres back from the dead, why cant the hunters go tame them 1?

Anyways...
Lets see some Hydras come with 4.3 and some guns that dont suck. The Dwarves need love too!

[sameyer716]

Hyenas were always one of my favorites, and I definitely want to see their old models return!

It really makes me OCD that there are two different Lion models. I think ALL of the Lions should be given the Sambas model, just with black, white, and gold re-skins. Note that Sambas would still be unique-skinned, as he's much darker colored than the "normal" gold lions. Technically speaking, the Lions are all the supposed to be the same species, so they should all look the same. Unless in the game world, poly count gives it different genetics somehow.

[GormanGhaste]

ALL of the Lions should be given the Sambas model, just with black, white, and gold re-skins.

Let's not. I strongly prefer the look of the original lions and have never been interested in Sambas or the alliance mount.

This! I don't mind a black or white version of his skin, fine, but let's not convert all the kitties to it.
