I've been searching for the blue one for a while now. Kicked me off again so I'm done for now. Would be cool to wake up and see someone found himMyzou wrote:Here's hoping the tracking mechanics just aren't added yet.
It'd be pretty silly to remove those mechanics when they have stopped griefing so well. Especially since if I'm reading this right, any melee could kill Degu without much trouble.
WOndering if there's a blue porcupine now... Well, now my stables are going to explode. 2-3 new spirit beasts, and my OCD says I need ot tame them all. >_<

Nope, he still hits incredibly hard with melee. He's a dead zone tame. It's in the first post.Myzou wrote:If I'm reading this right, any melee could kill Degu without much trouble.
And yes, they can be killed, but with such a short respawn time and ridiculously hard hits, it's not worth it to grief people. If anything, it'd be a challenge kill that yields nothing except pride.

Until it hits live, I wouldn't consider the spawn times as final. In both 5.1 and Beta, the spawn times were vastly shorter than they were on live.Kalliope wrote:Nope, he still hits incredibly hard with melee. He's a dead zone tame.

Just seems like it'd suck to finally find one of them, only to see it getting killed, after all the progress they've done on helping make them non-griefable. All it would take is taunting/attacking the red one to kill the hunter. The green one can be done the same, by dragging them out of the hunter's slows.
Though, I have to ask...
Can you cheat and have a druid spamming entangling roots on them while you whittle down their health?

He sits still in the mountains exactly where my arrow is sitting. From what we can tell, he doesn't heal or do ranged attacks, but the terrain around him is awful to navigate.

No one said they were final spawn timers. Just what they're at right now.Myzou wrote:Until it hits live, I wouldn't consider the spawn times as final. In both 5.1 and Beta, the spawn times were vastly shorter than they were on live.
If someone taunts/attacks either of them, they're going to have to kite them until they die or the beast does. It's not like Deth'tilac, where anything in melee range could grief the hunter; this is going to take work.Myzou wrote:Just seems like it'd suck to finally find one of them, only to see it getting killed, after all the progress they've done on helping make them non-griefable.

Until a druid physically tries it, we won't know. The trio does not respond to all abilities the same way, though; only Hutia can be scattered, for example. No one's tried a root yet; they were just discovered.Myzou wrote:Can you cheat and have a druid spamming entangling roots on them while you whittle down their health?

Sounds good! Hope you don't mind crashing horribly every five minutes. (This is not the most stable of builds.)Junrei wrote:Kalli, if you want, I can download the PTR and bring my druid, Jetfyre, over. :O We can test this theory.

Downloading it now as we speak. Jetfyre is Alliance. I'll also bring Junrei over.

Re: Where the Wild Things Are in Patch 5.2
Degus and Hutias are both relatively obscure real-world rodents. Quick search suggests that Gumi doesn't fit this pattern, though. Perhaps a tribute to a departed pet of a Blizzard staff member? Or it could... just be a name. >_> Your guess is as good as mine.
I have pet degus myself. They're gorgeous creatures and I suspect I may have to tame the WoW version once 5.2 hits live.
Re: Where the Wild Things Are in Patch 5.2
That was me (Druidicas), sorry about doing what you were going to do :/ I was trying to tame them on my hunter and failing since I can't kite, so I thought back to Solix and how I got a druid to root for me and wanted to see if that would work. At least we know now thoughJunrei wrote:Well least I'll be on standby. x3

Re: Where the Wild Things Are in Patch 5.2
Actually, Gumi is a type of silverberry shrub. From what I've researched, silverberries can be a source of food for porcupines.
