Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
I'm thinking this is a named beast, or something that's been previously untameable that's been flagged as such.

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
Totally fine and understood if these aren't answerable, but I figure they're fairly "mild" question so I'll ask anyway...
1. Is the beast Exotic?
2. Is it a new or existing family?
3. It's in Draenor, right?
Going to keep my personal expectations low but my hopes high. Happy hunting y'all, I'm super excited to see what it is!

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
And by what my understanding of the queens posting this beastie could be a tame like the spirit beast are where it takes something specific. How exciting.

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
I'm in Tanaan now after downloading and going through the starting quests, so I'll see what I can find.

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
Since this is hyped up to be a big deal, I'm going to assume this isn't something rather... unextraordinary, like "A brown pack clefthoof that keeps its packs when tamed!!"
So: Fel Ravens? Frogs? Pythons?
Keep in mind it could also be an aberration or elemental or something that reverts to beast status after a special action that we must take to tame it.
EDIT:
!!!! Likely Candidate !!!!
Felbound Wolf <--- This version is an aberration (green fire wolf)
Felbound Wolf <--- This version is a tamable beast.
Considering all the talk of this being a "special tame" where you have to do something before taming, there might be a special action to trigger this fel wolf's tamability.

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
What I wonder is does "not a look thats been tameable before" refer to a model or a skin... Dread Raven verses Fel wolf, that distinction. Both are looks that not been tameable before. Must do more science!

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
Either way it'll be interesting to see what it is. It's got to be something pretty dang cool if they won't tell us without us working for it! xD If it does end up being that fel wolf It'll be a bit disappointing since our last big hunt was a wolf (Gara). Not that I wouldn't tame it...

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
A critter that's not been reported yet. I think that's what's maybe throwing me off. Everything has been reported so far. Or maybe I am just misunderstanding that statement. Check everything that isn't on Wain's list!!!!Mania wrote:See, there's a certain tameable beast with a cool new look on the 6.2 PTR that nobody has reported yet.

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
I had a quick look at them on the PTR (up where you get the Fel Pup), and couldn't see any hints.

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
This does imply the look hasn't been reported (and therefore seen) yet. At least thats the impression I got, something we've yet to see.zedxrgal wrote:See I thought all that too but this still keeps ringing at me:A critter that's not been reported yet.

Re: PTR 6.2 Mystery Tame Contest
I really, REALLY don't think the Petopia and WarcraftMounts staff would be sending us to discover a new tamable pet if it were an exploit. That'd just get the lot of us in trouble...especially if we didn't report it and the exploit made it to live.erictks1 wrote:I believe I will find it out , as I spend hours a day to look for new exploit and stuff lol ...is it a new class or just a new look ?
I'm dying to find out what the new critter is, but I'm going to have to wait for the big reveal, as my hands won't stand up to scrambling about on the PTR *and* trying to finish out the assault quests for my Securing Draenor achievement.
Good luck on the PTR, folks!

Don't forget that you'll probably have quite some time to finish that up while grinding the reps for PathfinderTahlian wrote:*and* trying to finish out the assault quests for my Securing Draenor achievement
