Re: 9.2 PTR Beast Thread
EDIT: as for the other page, taming smaller beasts would be nice. They should be something like a joke pet though; purely there for visuals, and not as effective as major pet types. Just don't give them any specific bonus, disable the perks of their spec, and bam; easy way to give hunters some fun tames, just like Night Fae got the useless crittermorphs.

Re: 9.2 PTR Beast Thread
I agree 1000% since I’m a SV main, grubs aren’t worms, and so aren’t caterpillars, they’re larvae of moths and other creatures, so might as well make a new grub familyace_of_hearth wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 6:15 pmIMHO there should be a non-exotic beast family that contains maggots, grubs AND caterpillars. This might be an unpopular opinion but I have caterpillars to be in the same group as other larval staged beasts rather than in the exotic worm family.worgpower wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 2:15 pmThe slugs are closest to slimes, just solid, we still need grubsDannyGreen wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 8:32 am When it comes to plant based pets. I think unless you bring the kultiras plant things into it (I can't remember there name at the moment) It would be easier just to slap them into the family they look closest to.
Lashers are... plants, there's not much there. Most I see them as just things, rather than things you can teach or train unless you're a druid. And then that's more just magic wibbly wobbly stuff.
Proto drakes.
They seem fine? We have noodle dragons, and ancient spirits that can talk and communicate.
I think the best option for Proto drakes would be a specific class quest where there are specific proto drakes out in the wild that are "to far gone" that you can tame. That way you got a canon reasoning.
Poor monkeys, 4 colors and one with a fez kek.
Could slimes be Molluscs?

Unpopular opinion time eh?

I think exotics pet's are lame. Its silly we can tame dinosaurs and dragons, but a Pteradon is way to complicated.
I kind of understand core hounds and spirit beasts but Clefthooves are just giant cows.
Give BM an extra ability for there pets. Blood of the rhino get to be exclusive to bm etc. Just let us all share the fun.
I always dread seeing REALLY COOL pets only to have them locked away from me.
Sky screamers are the coolest shit.
And the possibility of cool snails being hidden behind Exotics makes me nervous.

Re: 9.2 PTR Beast Thread
I literally wrote an idea in my notes for fun, they say they changed exotic pets to be unlocked for all specs, only the exotic abilities are now locked, and a change to the tooltip and name, that would actually make a bit of sense, let us have the looks, but I don’t care about those extra exotic boosts anywayDannyGreen wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:36 pmUnpopular opinion time eh?

@Dannygreen I agree that unless they make a family consist of mandragoras, the Drust beasts, and anything else that could be created in a future xpac, it would be best to just throw them into what family fits them best.

Re: 9.2 PTR Beast Thread
agreed. I really wish we can leech and blood of the rhino(rename is necessary) regardless of the pets we are using, at least for BMs.DannyGreen wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:36 pmUnpopular opinion time eh?

EDIT: Wowhead's doing their article spam and datamining. The wasps are by FAR the MVP model as far as I've seen in the stream, good lord.

I figured it'd be a bee reskin.

The new eagle model is a reskin of the new phoenix model.

Re: 9.2 PTR Beast Thread
The Devourer worm might be a boss in the new raid.
Those small creatures that use the new warp stalker animations are indeed, as expected, to be axolotls.
There might be another new worm or snake model
