WoW Petopia Community

Ive tamed one myself, i love it. I named it after a mage friend who loved to stand in fire poison etc. I hope they keep it, ive been browsing the forums everyday for a glitched pet like this. Finally we get one, i hope to keep Qrystal =P

I got your point, and I don't expect Abaesik to stay, but technically fire in the world of Warcraft is alive, which is how Shaman work with it as well as the other elements. But yeah, this would be more of a shaman pet (if shaman had pets ) and not a hunter one.

Actually an explosion from a seed isnt the same as an actual shamanistic elemental. ^^;

It doesn't matter where it came from, it's fire. This kind of loops back into my 'fire is not alive' argument, in that if it were, it would be an elemental - as Doomcookie clarified, I suppose that makes all fire elementals? Or maybe it's the more organized fire... - and therefore hunters wouldn't be able to control it in the first place.

At the end of the day though, I'm not here to dictate what is and isn't suitable for a hunter to tame. That's up to Blizzard. :P I don't know enough about non-Draenei/Orc lore to argue for or against elementals and what constitutes as 'living fire but not an elemental', but if all fire is living - and therefore closer to an elemental - even an explosion from a seed wouldn't be a 'beast' in the broadest sense of the word, because, well, it's fire - which loops back again to say that if the fire is an elemental and can think and act on it's own, it's still an elemental, and we've never been able to tame elementals. Which means this thread went in circles, and then stopped and went in circles again. Dizzy yet? :P

Arent we chasing ourselves in circles now? is there any point to commenting now?

blizzard will take away our fire and give us croco-slimes in return :O

There were so many great jokes in this thread and I can't comment on them while they were happening. Let me just say then, Nub, loved the whole, "Is fire tamable?" jokes.

In all seriousness: Nubs is absolutely correct. There is an extremely slim chance that this will stay. I would bet millions that we will lose this pet, because if it's like anything, it was most like the worgen. A tricky, exploited tame to get something that is evidently not in a beast in anyway, shape, or form. (Face it, worgen are humanoids.)

Also: On the whole fires and how they choose paths...You may not know how, but I'll bet Charlie from NUMB3RS can figure it out! *coughs.*

Yeah, if they took away tiny beetle, this most assuredly will be taken away.

We're not allowed to have cute things!

well, it took a LOT of tries to get the timing right, we had to abandon and re-take the quest three times! (god we suck)
mind you, we kept getting healed mobs instead of fiery explosions.

so I now have a pet called "Campfire".
I'll enjoy him while he lasts, which I presume will be a few days at most.

I talked to a GM about this one, and he said the devs were already onto it and going to fix it soon.

The untargetability makes it an exploit rather than an appearance-tame, so... better get those screenshots of your fire puddles now, to save for posterity.

Yup, just like with tiny beetle I'm screenshotting it (out in the wild, I don't want people to see it in cities) because I know they'll fix it asap. It was worth taming though, even if we can only keep it for a week, just for the laughs I got pulling it out in a Firelands raid and watching people doing everything to avoid standing in it.

I wasn't expecting to keep it, by any means, but it sure has been fun running around with a big blob of fire.

I named mine 'Sparky', and because it'll (most likely) be removed soon, I tamed a burning boar and named him Sparky to take my little campfire's place.

I tamed my own Burninator (my King Krush is called TROGDOR, for those in the know ) for funsies. I know he'll most likely not be around in a short while, so like many here I'm just having fun while it lasts. My brother (mage) and I decided to duel in Tol Barad, and here are the results of Burninator under the effects of Polymorph. Going clockwise from the top left is Kitty, Pig, Sheep, Turtle, and (in the middle) Bunny:

Exploding sheep, anyone?

If Garwal didn't want to be tamed, he shouldn't have worn a wolf disguise. *grumbles*

(joking )

This pet IS targettable, by the way, by tabbing or just clicking his nameplate. He's not targettable when friendly, that's all. I can't see it staying around either, but hey, maybe the hunters who've tamed him will get SOMETHING nice out of it >.> Like a burning fire-puddle minipet introduced next patch?

Goodbye mr.unnamed flame it was fun while it lasted!

So how's he?:) was planning to try out to tame one this evening (was on vacation).
Did anyone get to keep him or tried taming?
