Suggestions for our Lurker.. ;)

[worgpower]

I've been made aware of spotless giraffes, of which only two (currently) exist in the world. One currently resides in a zoo in Tennessee, and the other roams wild in Namibia. These giraffes have a brown coloration, look oddly majestic in the wild, almost as if they're on par with a unicorn. I know there are many oddly colored or patterned animals, but it'd be really cool to have a basic spotless giraffe skin.

No we don’t need a basic spotless giraffe skin. We need a new giraffe model. It should include the spotless one

[Beviah]

With The War Within right around the corner, and more tuning passes being made to help us expand our stable pool, I'd like to formally suggest Gorm Matriarchs being added to our list as either Carapids or Worms.



In short, I know there's a lot of discussion surrounding tamability and how "intelligent" beasts are to make them susceptible to being tamed, but we can tame avian fire gods such as Rukhran or hyper-intelligent dragons such as Nalak.

Plus, I think we've moved past a majority of the limitations of beasts being tamable with the introduction of Undead beasts and Dragonkin now we can start expanding a little bit. I think the major concern to Gorm Matriarchs not being tamable was due to G'huun and there being model overlaps, but I feel at this point they're a very reasonable addition to the Hunter stable at this point in time.

Still hoping for Soul Eaters; Fetid Devourer was an aberration, many of these are actually beasts!

[Tsukina]

As always, I apologize for my English.

I don't know if I should say it but with so many pets in the rodent family, the following could be added:

Although I would have to shrink a little xd

[Boven]

Although I would have to shrink a little xd

Definitely a Rodent Of Unusual Size!

[Magnakilro]

After they were needlessly robbed of Shalewings during Dragonflight (seriously...some of them are even still called sporebats by name!) sporebats are way overdue something new. They still only have the TBC model, and the hardly different WoD model.

Give love to the sporebats!

Monkeys too....they haven't been touched since the rare with the Fez was added.

Edit as they came to mind: Dragonhawks and Warp stalkers haven't had anything significant since they were added in TBC (just new colors of the existing model. No I'm not counting the armored dragonhawk since it wasn't intended to be tamed). Those things are WAYYYYYYYY overdue some love

Ravagers could use some love too I feel. Been some time since anything was done with them!

[Flyra]

Could we please please please be allowed to tame the Deepflayers in The Ringing Deeps as part of the Stone Hound family? ^^ Kept summoning them with Dire Beast and was sad to see they're untameable!

[AcadiAnne]

If I had one wish, it would be to make mobs unattackable if a Hunter starts a tame before any other players attack it. Players know exactly what’s going on if they come up to a mob in an ice trap with a Hunter waving their arms at it.

It was one thing when there was an active faction war. Now that there are active measures encouraging cross faction cooperation in retail, I feel that time has passed. Now it’s just trolling.

Edit: I’m only suggesting this change on retail. Classic, especially pvp servers, are still very much at war and the danger (and frustration) is part of the game design.

Give us a way to tame Grong The Revenant on the horde and Grong on the alliance

It’s a good concept how the raid worked in BFA, but a lot of hunters are mixed and want one certain look of Grong on their hunters

Either add a new npc similar to how Fenryr works or allow horde and alliance players to queue for the opposite instance with the same feature as mercenary mode for Battlegrounds

[worgpower]

This is not for new creatures, but just to improve the old creatures we could tame, specifically animations

- give armoredons new attack and running animations, they should have the attack animation from the new thunder lizards, and the run from the armoredon mount rather than the fast motion jiggle jiggle jiggle

- give Thunder lizards new running animations, same as the armoredon mounts

- give veilwings proper attack animations, switch them from “specialunarmed” which is an eating animation to “attackunarmed” which is a claw animation

- give dreamrunners, vorquins, and owlsteeds a new running animation, and give the old dreamrunners their horn attack “attackfist1hoff”

- give older wind serpents the etherwyrm running animation

- make a new model for crystal scorpions, make it 100% the same, but all parts are together, so crystal scorpions can have their stingers

- fix the fire scorpion model’s front right leg, it’s so distorted and weird when it runs

- give crocolisks the new basilisk animations, the old animations are very static and robot like compared to the new ones from legion basilisks

- give hornstriders fast motion running animations, its fine when not mounted but when mounted, it runs in slow motion

- give draenor boars and skullboars a new running animation, boars do not run like that when sprinting in real life

- give wolfhawk hunter pets proper standing animations. Switch the stand from Customspell02 which is the constant side to side animation to Customspell01 which is the proper standing animation

- give panthara the Druid cat running and walking animations

- give mechanical tigers the Druid cat running and walking animations

- give two headed core hounds a new running animation, they have the same animation as their walk, just faster

- give veilwings and other older untameable drakes new running animations, same situation as core hounds above

- move bruffalons to oxen, they may have moose antlers, but they are more cowlike than moose

- move shalehorns to coursers, they are odd toed, and they animate more similar to a horse than any stag

- (maybe) move vorquins to coursers, they may have these staglike horns, but they act and sound like horses

- make Dreamtalons a little bit bigger, they are small compared to older raptors like Reban

- make owlcats bigger

- make umbraclaws bigger

- make all rays a little bit bigger

Old Hunter pets also deserve some love, not just new ones

I went a little crazy while making this, but I wanted to find a way to make all pets viable again without going back to our other request that has fallen on deaf ears despite the outcry (spec swapping). Here's a list of changes that I feel would suit that:

Pet Specialization
- Cunning, Ferocity, and Tenacity no longer have Master's Call, Primal Rage, or Fortitude of the Bear.
- Cunning pets now apply Slow by default, and provide the hunter additional movement speed.
- Ferocity pets now apply Mortal Wounds by default, and provide the hunter additional leech.
- Tenacity pets do not apply anything, but have higher base health by default, and provide the hunter additional avoidance.

Pet Families
- Remove Exotic flag on pets. Yes yes, this again.
- Remove family abilities. Yes, including the overpowered utilities like Blood of the Rhino and Spirit Mend.
- Chimeras have access to a toggle, allowing all of their attacks to count as frost damage. This is for those who do Classic content that require frost damage (You know which boss I mean).
- All pets now have a triggered defensive ability. This is the same ability currently used by Bears, Camels, Clefthooves, Gorillas, Gruffhorns, Oxen, Pterrordax, and Stone Hounds.
- All pets now have access to Rest. This is the same ability currently used by Bears and Rodents.
- All pets now have access to Trick. This is the same ability currently used by Birds of Prey and Waterfowl. What would most beasts do as tricks? I don't know, maybe jump?

Hunter
- Master's Call, Primal Rage, or Fortitude of the Bear are now part of a choice node in the hunter talent tree, with only one being enabled at a time.
- This choice node is unlocked at level 45, and is not connected to any other talents. It also does not require a talent point to be activated.
- To make up for the loss of exotic pets, Beast Mastery pets have increased health, apply both Mortal Wounds and Slow, and provide the hunter with speed, leech, and avoidance.

To start, yes this is a lot of nerfs and removals. On the surface, this can easily look like a bad thing, and I don't blame you for jumping to that conclusion if you did. Likewise, I too am an advocate against homogenization in most cases, since dumbing things down tends to be a net negative all around. I feel as these are justified however as many pets feel useless now (and for a while, too). While it's worded differently, you can think of pets' specializations mainly remaining the same, but removing the active buttons and giving Tenacity access to the third tertiary stat.

Regarding pet families, this is the biggest change. The removal of pet family abilities definitely sounds bad, but if you think about it, what are we losing? 20+ spells that do the exact same thing. While abilities were fairly spread between families and specializations, many were either less viable or downright useless, while some stood at the peak like Olympian gods (Blood of the Rhino and Spirit Mend, obviously). So, let's balance the playing field by simply removing all of them and giving the best to everyone; a triggered defensive ability. This is a substantial defensive option, as it lets pets survive harder mechanics or bigger damage intake with ease. This would give much-needed survivability to the dozens of pets who are not blessed with it already, and would make every pet just as likely to survive encounters. Rest would also be given to every pet, which is a substantial heal over time that you can use in tandem with Mend Pet and Camouflage to quickly get your pet back in the fight. Then there's Trick, which is clearly the meta choice.

These changes would be balanced with the hunter as well. The abilities Master's Call, Primal Rage, or Fortitude of the Bear made no real sense being tied to pets, as they are abilities the hunter uses rather than the pets. YOU call your pet to your side, YOU scream bloody murder, and YOU flex your absolutely magnificent muscles. Your pet doesn't call itself, doesn't scream, and doesn't have a glorious physique. Much like Skyriding's choice nodes for Ride Along and Whirling Surge/Lightning Rush, having the three abilities tied to a choice node that's detached from the talent tree and available to hunters of all three specializations feels like an organic choice. This puts the power in the player's hands, and gives a nice boost to the hunter's utility as a result, outside of raiding and M+ where you can't really choose to change back and forth constantly (except if you get someone else who can use Heroism/Bloodlust).

====================================================
As a second thing I went and wrote up, I thought of a fun way to get some unique models (or just fun things) while making use of Blizzard's own bonus objective system. The short of it;

- Introduce Hemet Nesingwary XVII in various locations around Azeroth.
---- Yes, the one from Pandaria Remix.
- Hemet does not appear on the map as an objective. You have to find him.
- Objective starts when approaching Hemet.
- Step 1: turn on Track Humanoids. This causes you to see footprints.
- Step 2: Follow the tracks. Follow the trail to find a poacher.
- Step 3: Defeat the poacher. A friendly baby animal will appear from a nearby patch of grass or bush.
- Step 4: Cast beast lore on the animal to figure out what it is. It will say it's tameable.
- Step 5: Talk to the baby to escort it back to Hemet. You might have to whistle to get its attention along the way (extra action button).
- Step 6: The beast wants to join you, but it's too young to fight. Hemet will take it into the future, where it returns shortly as an adult.
- Step 7: Tame the newly grown up beast. It is only visible to you, and is neutral similar to Hati or the Exile's Reach hunter pets. The beast will be named "Trusty (beast)" when tamed, with (beast) being what it is.
- Progress is weekly. If you have a full stable, you can go off, empty your stable, forget the objective for a few days, remember it, and come back to finish it.
- You can repeat these little animal rescue events weekly, so you can tame two (or more) of the same beast if that's your jam.
- The objective is hidden until you speak to Hemet, so your log isn't filled with excess questing.

This is 100% an excuse to see new skins become tameable. I wrote a mockup for every pet family as well (with a few extra/bonus ones for fun), though it's a pretty lengthy list. I wanted to be detailed in my concept, but it ended up being a lot of writing lol. Be prepared if you want to read through it;

[PrimalTazza]

The Brunnhildar weapons offer a source of guaranteed frost damage and are simply bought from a vendor after a short questline. Giving chimaeras frost damage sounds cool but seeing as frost damage would ignore armor it would automatically make them the best pet for DPS.

I do kind of want exotic beasts to go away, but I feel like they'd have to give BM hunters something in return. I also understand why exotics exist, however, and am slightly biased as I haven't wanted to play BM since Legion and some of my favorite pets in my stable are exotic.

[Umbriel of Halaa]

I continue to stand by everything here, although I have since concluded that pretty much every pre-MoP pet needs a model update. Add the Springloaded Tabby, Pureblooded Cloud Serpent, bloodfeaster larvae, and those cute ferrets on the Isle of Dorn to the list, too. And I want the rest of the moles, stormrooks, and lynxes.
