Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread

If folks didn't notice; PTR has pre-patch content now! Time to get in there and help find the last few oddities that our hawk-eyed beta testers may have missed.

[Kaydia]

How did you sort them? Is there actually some way to filter to find only tameable enemies?

Yes. The "Use Skin" option here doesn't seem to work, at least not with the way they're listed on Petopia.

[WerebearGuy]

Oh my god they finally added that search option? About time!

[Qraljar]

Thanks Daddy N'Zoth.

[Kaydia]

Yep! And, choosing Tameable now lets us sort by family. It wasn't doing that last night.

Yep, 9.0 is on the PTR, so we're closing in on pre-patch. If there's anything people want to wrap up on live, now's your chance.

[Qraljar]

Also it appears my crab with a bottle is dead on the PTR but all my other trick tames are intact. Even the really fragile spider with a permanent fear effect. Hopefully just a PTR thing.

That head turning thing is nice, but a little irksome in some cases, like my Silithid turning its head into one of its own legs, and a bunch of spiders are legitimately not made for it at all.

[Qraljar]

Went to check on PTR, and as Jeremy more or less implied, the MoP pythons are now tameable.

[WerebearGuy]

Tamed Titanus Young on PTR, does not keep its name when tamed. Isn't even a rare anymore.

[Vephriel]

Elegon is now a spirit beast!

Whoa, that is actually really cool.

[WerebearGuy]

Well that was...sort of unexpected? I kind of wanted him to be mechanical, but this is fine I guess.

[Lupis]

What a fantastic addition!! Utterly awesome spirit beast choice, and he's not on a rare mob so more people can enjoy the skin. Really, really happy to see a cool spirit beast that people won't need to go through hours of heartache for.

[WerebearGuy]

Looks like the demon puppies God King "MUH AEGIS" Skovald summons are now demons again. Oh well.

Yes, Wain announced this yesterday, I think. It was never intended.

[Qraljar]

Was asked by somebody to check this mob for name retention on the PTR. I doubt it's the most pertinent, but may as well share for Wain.

Finally, a new spirit beast

[WerebearGuy]

Head's up if you want to tame Guarm in Helheim: He HAS to be able to melee hit you. He has a very short leash range, WILL kill you in two hits, and is a VERY good boy. You'll need to pop Aspect of the Turtle for him.

[worgpower]

PTR 9.0.1 has released, time to test new pets, and most of all, EOTB, wooo!
Edit-Not functioning properly yet, copy character fails now, hopefully It will work when fully installed

[Qraljar]

Raigonn is currently labeled as tameable when beast lored but is not in practice. Hopefully something to look into for our patron saint.

[WerebearGuy]

Can't copy my panda over. Either fails to copy, or says I'm not found. Since the ptr clearly has new things from since we all last looked, I'll find out if Guardian of the Elders retains its name or not, and if the cloud serpent out there is tameable and if it keeps the name. Well, when servers are back up anyway.
