Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I am all for having the option for BM and 2 pets out, on one condition: they get it to work correctly. they would have to fix much of what Xella mentioned. I like the idea of two pets, but Hati is still borked and unless they can fix it, then nahhhh.

Yeah I hear ya. I'm left feeling a little sadened about it all. I had been quietly dreaming that BM would get two pets for such a LONG time, the idea just felt so very "Master of the Beasts!"
However with the way legion has shoe horned a 2nd pet in via Hati and it's implementation, has left me rather sour about the whole thing. The fact that we don't have two pets really, we have one, and the artifact has one? It's taken something that could and should have been amazing (in my eyes) and gave us a poor man's guardian.
We can't name it, the perma electrical buzz even after hatimog, the terrible combat lag and unresponsiveness, missing large chunks of DPS because it's soooo slow.... all this things have put me off the idea of 2 pets now so much. I'm kinda annoyed by it all.
I have really struggled to commit any kind of bond or connection with Hati due to seeing him and his name... everywhere! It felt so forced that I struggled. It's also due to the fact it is not a beast, that I wanted/hunted/tamed, but just a spirit of a dead one, trapped in a gun that aids you because you wield it. You put down the gun and it's gone.
The other thing is Dire Beast. We have gone from 1 pet, to a literal Zoo of random beasts that we throw at the enemy like a crazy cat lady! To have to keep calling random beasts to get our focus back, just continually erodes my personal link to all my pets/guardians. It makes them feel disposable and again hard to create a bond with. (And yes I know I can use Dire Frenzy, but it really is just shit gameplay design. Spamming your focus builder thats ready.... however you have to wait while your pet slowly runs into range... it's just SUCH a terrible design.... NO ty.)
In its current form, I'll be very happy to see the door hit Hati's ass on the way out. Thorim can have his dang gun (and buzz wolf) back >.>. I would be interested to see them explore the possibility of having two PROPER pets for BM. I still have a little hope and that it could be glorious, but at the moment.... I kinda just want my old BM back without having to "Carry" Hati and his bad DPS.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
Not to mention that it STILL doesn't work with Titan's Thunder unless you're in a melee range of your pet and opponent + the lack of any basic range on the ability (not even the jump that KC gives, but the fact that it is literally 0 yard range) can screw one up royally if target is moving. Pet just chases it while hunter sweats bullets and spams DF :\SpiritBinder wrote:And yes I know I can use Dire Frenzy, but it really is just shit gameplay design.

I have to say, it's refreshing to see everyone's opinions. I was sort of bothered that I was in the minority, disliking Hati and 2 pets / zoo of Dire Beasts concept
Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I'm kinda glad to see that I'm not the only one who thought of that Simpsons cat lady the first time I started throwing pets at enemies with Dire Beast. Gotta admit, though, that throwing a dinosaur or unicorn is kinda funny.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
At least you got that. I didn't even get slow waddling Hati today. I got epic laziness Hati who stood next to me in 95% of fights while WQ-ing and attacked from there. One occasion he seems to blink strike to the mobs. But yeah. Couldn't even be bothered to waddle to the mob today.Boven wrote:Hati's waddling slowly along like a geriatric pet with bad arthritis and the constant running back to my side while my 'real' pet stays in there working on that group of mobs.

And you get a dino. And you get a dino. And you get a dino. Everybody gets a dino!

Hati will repsond to the comand, to send pet in. Whenever he isn't attacking, I just press B and he starts attacking.Sukurachi wrote:Yeah, I've been noticing my Hati taking far too long to jump into the fray when I attack.
My other pet is wailing away on the enemy, and Hati is still obliviously licking his nether regions.
I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
At this point good riddance. Even now after all this time he doesn't work right. I really would hate for that to bleed over into a dual pet system.
Changing my vote to GTFO. Don't let the door smash your fluffy tail on the way out.

I don't play BM anymore, but this is definitely the option I'd pick.Rawr wrote:Why can't we just have a second pet? I'd rather have that than the broken guardian that is Hati.
Hati's AI is terrible, and not being able to name the second pet is just... annoying? Give BM two FUNCTIONING pets that don't act aloof.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I do hate to say it, as I adore having two pets at once, but the system *is* just too glitchy to work right now. Hati tends to find any opportunity to not do what I need him to, he does sometimes pull things (though to be fair this is just as much a concern imo for regular pets anyway and is something I'm kind of used to managing since I'm playing a pet class.), and being unable to name him does kill the fantasy.
I've taken to, as far as RP goes, just pretending Hati is whichever of my other pets I have him mogged to look like and telling people to ignore the lightning sparklies (which I hate.) on him.
Thanks to Vephriel for this awsome sig

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I hated Hati. With a passion. Utterly hated the very idea of that wolf. And then...the quest happened and the little bugger was all heroic and I had to save him and I ended up liking him. I actually got fairly attached. Then I used the transforming thing on him and that kinda screwed that up. If I went back to the original Hati, I'd probably like him as a character again, and not just a way to display a second pet. But, since we'll be losing him, I'm not sure I want to get attached again. It was rude of Blizzard to shove him on us in the first place, and downright mean to just take him away. I'm really concerned they'll kill him off, honestly. I do not want that to happen. Make him a spirit beast in Storm Peaks with his brother! Something. Just don't kill him, Blizz. Please. If we do get another "second pet" gimmick, I want it to be a true second pet, one that I choose and name and don't stand to lose once Blizzard gets bored with a weapon gimmick.

Re: Losing Hati in Next Expansion
I didn't even realize this could happen but Hati aggroed a mob during pet battling yesterday. I came out of pet battle to find myself in combat, with Hati at half health staring blankly ahead, while a mob chewed on his hind end. Why is he a valid target for attack while I'm phased out? That's just poor programming.
