Hopefully! I do find it interesting how this stuff happens, it makes you wonder how exactly in the coding that sometimes these things get flagged for taming. We've had many instances over the years where NPCs weren't supposed to be tamable, but ended up that way by some mistake. It's something I've thought about a lot over the years, and always has left me scratching my head.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
But there's a couple of things I don't think are mentioned (I'm positive I haven't read all 80 pages, but I did searches):
1. Mammoths have the same substandard snare that crabs have. First, it's channeled, so they're only doing auto-attacks and basic attacks 40% of the time. The bonus damage/cost when above 50 focus doesn't make up the whole difference. At least not against a training dummy. When the channel on auto-cast, a crab did about 30% less damage. When I use a blood-beast (also tenacity) with auto-cast snare, the damage was pretty much the same. Second, when the crab decided to use the snare is different than when the blood-beast (or a hound) did. The crab always used it on CD, the hound and blood-beast didn't use (even with auto-cast on) against a wizard looking training dummy, but did auto-cast against the dungeon boss training dummy.
2. When pets change direction, they're snapping to their new orientation. In live, they rotate over a few frames. It feels less immersive, visually. Like when you strafe on a pterrodax mount. Except it happens so much more often. I'm not sure how that graphic change would get introduced, but it has.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
And btw, has anyone noticed that animal companion got patched/fixed, since winged or flying pets don’t fly anymore when they’re on the slot during SL, I think it’s sad that many people’s AC pets can’t fly anymore, what’s worse is I tamed a Icewing Rylak which is only tamed white rylak that can fly when commanded to attack flying npcs, doesn’t fly anymore, same with irewing, I only tamed that rylak because it was able to fly, I could of done a few EOTB tricks if it was able to fly, but not anymore, looks like that rylak of mine is not special, because of the fix, this rylak is getting replaced by a death chimaera, and irewing, I don’t mind too much because irewing has a special red and black skin, and I cannot forget to mentioned that twinbreath skystalkers, the red rylaks that were able to fly, also don’t fly anymore, what a bummer

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Yeah, they should add the old rylak procedure, let the pet with wings and AC walk with regular walking animation, if I would command them to attack an NPC, then they both would fly, for example, a kunchong and a wod ravager would walk normally, but then fly when they attack a bird or a gryphon rider for instance, i really hope they add that, wasn’t a big fan of flying idles and walking, I hope muffinus will read this

Flying blood beasts are begging to have a flight/ground toggle. And my raven is so tired after flapping for years, I wish I could give it a sit command too (even though it doesn't have grounded combat animations). Even during eyes of the beast, I can't /sit /lay /dance

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Lol I wish eyes of the beast can do emotes, but it can’t since it’s a channeled spell and not a permanent transformation, it’s fun cuz I can gank players without getting attacked by guards in the end, and I can run outside the invisible boundaries in the culling of stratholme with move pet and EOTB, It would of been cool if EOTB pets can fly if they have wings, just like eye of kilrogg in warlocks, but the difference is eye of kilrogg cannot attack mobs, or what if warlocks had a EOTB related ability to replace eye of kilrogg with some sort of glyph or talent that allows to control our demons, why Blizz, can’t we have fun with our pets and minionsXota wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 1:11 pmFlying blood beasts are begging to have a flight/ground toggle.

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Still a damm shame they havent fixed them yet. I hope ill be able to get my green crystal scorpyWerebearGuy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 2:57 pm Dear diary; Nighthold scorpids, Emerald Nightmare spiders, and other bugged dungeon/raid tames are still untameable on PTR. Daily bug reports have yielded no reesults, sadly. Also, they still haven't fixed Exotic Beasts being at an unreasonable level 39 rather than the correct level it was before, so taming Guardian of the Elders is going to continue being an extremely awful grind.

The First Guardian of Kalliope isn’t covenant locked. It is in Bastion, but anyone can do the quests to get it.worgpower wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 3:13 pm I still hope they lower the exotic requirement levels, fix the tameability of bosses/dungeon mobs, and I hope the first guardian of kalliope is not covenant locked, that phalynx is the reason I’m going full gold with bastion beasts, except for the vulpin which will be black, I feel like locking things in covenants would be a time waster for hunters just to get a cool modeled pet
