It's not you, Azu. Your post was "live and let live," which is what people should be doing. :D

I agree there! Again, I say, Blizzard's decisions on the game won't make everyone happy all the time. That goes for our pets too! People who like camping and the hardcore challenge tames have every right to be disappointed, while other's who don't have the right to enjoy the new additions. :D I don't see an issue with anyone being disappointed over them at all, that's your right to have your opinion. :) I, personally, could careless either way it went. I've gotten both challenge tames and camped tames. If I like the pet enough, I will do what needs to be done to obtain it, not unlike other hunters who just really like rare models.

To me, this set strikes a much needed compromise we've desperately needed for this family -only-.

I don't like grinds, but when the alternative is "camping", I prefer the grind. At least that way, I can feel some sort of progress towards my goal, as opposed to counting on purely random luck.

I definitely agree to 'live and let live'. Just cause there's no rares right now doesn't mean there won't be in the future, and vice versa. :3 It's hard to satisfy everyone but it's important we take all perspectives into account. I, for one, am happy to have a common spirit beast with a tame challenge, cause not everyone can camp for 17 hours straight. I also do hope we do see more rares. Remember, the expansion is barely into it's 4th month. There are more patches and content to come.

So, PTR is back up and the new devilsaurs and the new red raptors have their own sounds!
But the new devilsaurs also make the new stomping noises. :(

WELP, my files are corrupted on my PTR download and it takes me daaaaaays to redownload stuff, so, what's the word on the Direhorn colors, by chance? Any changes or reverts?

Now I'm even more glad I did dire horns first. Devilsaur vid will be in a couple of days.

Direhorns are still the new skins, unfortunately. :(

I'm eagerly awaiting that video! :D

Also, I hate continually asking for people to check things, but I'm dying to know if any of my babies down in Un'goro are getting any tameable flag love. I'm just really crossing my fingers. ;-;

Sad day on the Direhorns too. The change doesn't affect me, but I'm still hoping you guys get some way of getting the pastel skins before it goes live.
MAYBE, they can be tossed in Un'goro or Sholozar? Just an idea. :C

The item that turns you into a dinosaur now only turns you into a direhorn instead of a devilsaur, but that left a neat opportunity to see and hear the dire horns mount special in game. :) It's pretty badass!

Oh, and by the way, the new devilsaur sounds are a bit similar to a certain T-rex... ;)

Oh dear god in the high heavens, please let it be a sign.


PLEASE LET IT BE A DAMN SIGN.

( I know we've had beavers and other untameable stuff for Dire Beast, but I want to hope; I really do!!! )

Okay, that's it. That crosses the line. At least give us a way to have Dire Beast active at all times. Please...? :cry:

I hope so much that that's a sign.

I fear so much that it isn't.

^ This pretty much.


If Pterrorwings end up remaining untameable, I'm SO making a wallpaper of this picture and that screenshot of Dire Beast combined, HUUUUGE; and hanging it everywhere at the next Blizzcon. (I actually wouldn't be able to go, but I would love to do that.)

Because not making them tameable now would pretty much be the biggest darn tease in Blizzard hunterpet history.

That said, I'm acting spoiled, but with all these additions; the addition of Pterrorwing pets would make this patch the best ever. And if they made Kunchong tameable later on too; it'd make this the best EXPANSION for me, ever.

TL;DR: PLEASE PTERRORWINGS. WE NEEDZ THEM.

Biggest tease; amirite?

I am personally glad blizz has moved to there being some actual effort into obtaining unique pets of late.

Gondria took me 36 hours of straight camping the week that patch hit. I don't even know how many times I saw ankha and banthalos in that time. My guildies were having a good ole time playing the new content and I was sitting on a rock waiting for an addon to set off an alarm bell... The same can be said for all of my spirit beasts save for loque and karoma. Those are the only two lucky finds I have. The others took many many wasted game hours, and I have em all. Well save for GC, I turned him loose some time ago.

MF rares did however add a neat concept and I enjoyed the excitement of it might one shot me when it finally showed up if I goofed.

The pandaria tracking mechanic I absolutely love. I actually feel like I'm hunting and I've routinely tracked them only to give to another hunter just bc I think it's fun and a lot of people have trouble with it.

The new spirit porcupines don't interest me at all for my stable. I do however very much enjoy the challenges so my second hunter might take a go at them. But I'd gladly help another hunter. Just for the fun of a challenge tame.

There are sooooo many rares that can be camped by npc scan. It's an old outdated mechanic or lack of one that requires pretty much nothing more than being willing to sit in game doing nothing for an extended period of time waiting for an alarm. Don't get me wrong I did it and I enjoyed doing it to an extent. But I really just wanted the pet for me. And I personally enjoy a tame that's engaging me to use hunter skills much much more than the old camp/watch Netflix while I wait with sound cranked up.
