I agree, if we can have a iron horde Clefthoof full of armor and effects, we should be allowed to tame maw crows and mushroom backed foxes that would keep their special effects, it shouldn’t be problematic to add considering we have special looks like hexed craghoppers and shadowcrazed marsuulsWerebearGuy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 12:10 pm It's a shame that they lose their effects. I remember losing a tank during a Tirna run, and there were three hunters total. We planned which beasts we'd tame and who we'd trap, clear out as many beasts as possible, then have all of our pets act as the tanks while the healer focused on the pets. All those ghostly moths and foxes, losing their stylish looks. We got to the boss, and I noticed we could tame those foxes that spawn and freeze you; I had the bright idea to tame one. Of course, despite it being an illusion and not a real, living creature, I found it hilarious that we could tame it. Sadly, the Illusionary Vulpin just became a regular blue fox after taming, so it was just as boring as the other imaginary creatures throughout the maze segment.
We really need to push for cosmetic effects to be a thing again. The sprinkled in ghost looks are nice, but there's so many beasts that have ENTIRELY harmless visual effects that are lost. Bears with spider eggs, elk with mushrooms, illusions that we can tame, and so on; so many unique visual effects that would add to a hunter's customization with ZERO impact on the game overall outside of satisfaction for players who want something neat. I know the hot new thing is dragons, and rightfully so, but we really need to push for visual effects to persist on taming. Hidden buff effects that give those extra visuals but are lost on taming need to be persistent after taming, stabling, arenas, and logouts.

Re: Beta 10.0 Beast Thread
As worgpower pointed out, we do have several examples of pets that actually keep visual effects without the use of glitches. Unintentional or not, these are definitely well-loved pet skins because they're so unique. There's also the Argus talbuk with the faint glow, the ghostly spiders of Maldraxxus, the spectral black unicorns from the Legion invasions, and several others out there that I'm forgetting. The pet guys know we like this stuff, so we need to keep pushing for it to become the norm for such niceties to be persistent.

Ambystans - toads or lizards
Skeletal horses - coursers(duh)
Old beavers - rodents(obviously)
Soul eaters - warpstalkers or lesser dragonkin
Razorwings - Feathermanes or lesser dragonkin
Scythids - ravagers or aqiri if they’re not sapient
Vorquin - lesser dragonkin

And unused colors for older creatures, same procedure as 9.1

I will be pretty disappointed if they shrink down to nothing.

I feel that Grubs should be its own family called Grubs and Catterpillars should move into that group. Make it on exotic.Skelelmyrn wrote: ↑Fri Sep 16, 2022 12:19 amI would add the following to this list:worgpower wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 11:49 pm We have a good amount of creatures that still need tameability, and DF is the best opportunity to have them

I believe we need more quality and quantity comments about our pets, for the Devs to really take notice of the issues.

Re: Beta 10.0 Beast Thread
I don't really think the WoW forums are even that good of a place to voice things anyway. Sure, it'll help get actual gamebreaking or health-related problems solved quickly, but small vanity things for fun? That either results in a nerf or a topic that's left unresolved. Good luck if you do go to post stuff there though. I would love to be proven wrong on this for once.
