WoW Petopia Community

Because of the pet versatility, I desperately want more pets. I'm to the point where I want to test them out. I've read who is best DPS-wise, but I like to try them out and see! Also, I know that sometimes what's good on paper doesn't always work well with the group dynamic. So, yes! If they're going to provide us with so many options AND the introduction of NEW pets in Cataclysm, MOAR SLOTS!


Valinai's Stable:

Moros - White Devilsaur from Un'Goro Crater. Tamed b/c he's WHITE and is good DPS for dungeons/raids. The Name? Mythology name; personification of doom. Thought it was a good one for the big guy.

Maturin - My lovely whitish/pinkypurple turtle that was with me and the hubby for a good portion of our "middle" levels. Named after the turtle from "The Dark Tower" series by Stephen King. The turtle in that series is also named after another turtle from a story.

Taj - Frostsaber Pride Watcher. I LOVE his fade out effect. Not only does it mean that the pet is semi transparent so he doesn't hog up part of the screen during strange camera rotations or what-have-you, but the auditory cue of his fading to stealth meant "combat is over!" His name means "crown". One day, when I get Gondria, I shall tell everyone that Taj went through some of his own changes at level 80, and now he looks like that!

Skatha - The most recent addition to the stable, prepping for when I dual spec to MM and will need a DPS pet. Ironjaw from Outland. Technically speaking, I believe it was a male. But once it's tamed, it's mine. And for some reason, I just felt this beast was going to have a girl name. Went through a lot of options finally settled on Skatha, a Celtic warrior/goddess.

Released from the Fold:
Aeolus - My first pet, tamed on recommendation from a friend. White owl. He was a good pet, but I didn't like the constant flapping sound in my ears or the way his wings took up the vital part of the screen somehow. It was hard, but I knew he needed to be free. Mythological name, god of winds.

Torgeir - There have been two incarnations of Torgeir. One was a Ghost Paw from Ashenvale. The other, the white corehound from Azuremyst Isle. I was hard up for money for a while, so couldn't buy a new slot. Had to make room a couple times. And soloing or pairing up with one other person meant I needed a tanking pet. Name means "Thor's Hammer". I'll find a new incarnation of him out there, somewhere...

I am all in favor with the idea of additional stable allotments for players looking to contribute data research on behalf of the hunter community or those that just wish to scratch that "gotta catch them all" itch.

Personally, I voted for 3 more stable spaces (8 pets total). I'd like to be able to acquire more pets on each of my hunters but not so much so that my pets would become more like a novelty and less like a family to them.

I love nothing more than "theming" my pets around my hunter's racial and personal attributes. I also bestow backstories and personalities to each pet. If I were to have 10, 12, 15 pets however, I'd be less likely to spend the time "fleshing" them out. They'd probably be given a general/generic description or none at all, and this for me anyways, would make for one sad panda!

Yeah, my stable is quickly filling up with pets that I can't let go. What on earth am I going to do when the expansion hits? D:

Sochi cannot let any of her pets go. All of them are too dear to her to so. And new as she is, still Shaon is feeling the pull of her companions and cannot readily part with any of them.

But to be allowed two more slots would be wonderful. There are creatures I would like to try out, rares I would love to seek out. New creatures will surely come along with Cata and I would jump at the chance to check them out. I will be rolling a new hunter come Cata, but to have a hunter already high level enough to try everything takes me time to produce, I am not the fastest leveler out there.

So two more spaces would be welcome. Just two more.

I wanna know who voted that we don't need anymore -_-

BLASPHEMY!!!!

*nods* I sincerely hope they give us something in terms of new stable slots. I'm okay with letting some pets go, for example ones that are easy to find and easy to tame. The only exception I have to this is Skorn, just because he's been with me for so long and I couldn't deal with just taming a different Ironhide Devilsaur later on and pretending it was him.

Now I have The Beast which I don't think I want to go through again for a taming, and Gondria who's rare and hard to find. My Sapphire Hive Wasp could be expendable since I can re-tame one, and I suppose if I had to I could let go of my black diseased bear and retame one another time. Still, my stable now has at least 3 pets that I can't let go of, and it's just going to get more difficult as time goes by and more pets are added. ><

Patch # who freaking knows!

-Hunters are only allowed to have 1 pet as blizz hates hunters and we have taken out the stable feature....Happy Hunting!

I voted for five slots,but i could handle unlimited slots!

This is my stable:

Mimzi...Jorumgar worm...best tank EVAH!

Cloud...White bear...2nd best tank...

Luna...Wolf....until I can get to Hellfire Ramparts,this will do...

And finally,my baby...Sianna...Rak'Shiri from the Alliance-only Winterspring quest...back before pets auto-levelled within 5 levels of you. I will NEVER replace her!

Of course,any one of them could be replaced in a heartbeat if I could just FIND A SPIRIT BEAST!! (I'm looking at you,Logue!).... ...She just won't spawn for me when I'm on...

Hey, we've all been pretty lucky with spirit beasts lately! Maybe you'll find her soon. *sprinkles with [P. Dawg's Blessing]™

WHO DUN DIS?

They could even do something like...if you're BM spec you get extra slots b/c it's sort of your schtick and you get to tame exotics. I would be MORE THAN HAPPY with that.

LOL Saturo xD

As for me i only have one pet i can release and wouldnt have a problem retaming.

Current Pet slots

ANOMNOMNOM-Devilsaur: I will never get rid of this guy expect to switch for King Krush (its a rp thing where my pet molts his skin and becomes green >.>)

Jazz-Wolf: Even though i enjoy the Demonic wolf's animations more, well since this pet is the reincarnation of my old dog i cant get rid of her... EVER

Budd-Arcturis: For awhile i never wanted a spirit beast I thought it was too much time to get, nothing special bla bla bla...well i was DEAD wrong when i saw Arcturis face to face and i love the ghostly gummy bear! I count myself lucky it only took 3 days to camp for him, he grabs attention and kicks ass! I do not want to have to go thru it again for him xD

Phallius-Jormungar Worm:This pet freaking kicks ass for tanking! record of tanking 12 mobs at once now and i didn't pull aggro when i aoe'd AND we both lived . This is Thee pet for me use for tanking ^ ^ plus i love how he looks!

Iris-Wasp ( new addition): I recently tamed the Hive wasp from Sholozar Basin, i LOVE how beautiful and big she is ^ ^. Sadly if i wanted to try out a new pet, get a second spirit beast (Loque) or something, well she is my first choice to release to the wilds.

On the one hand there are so many pets I wish I had (and only one I'd be willing to give up)... on the other hand, I'd have less reasons to keep levelling hunter alts if I could get all the pets I wanted on one character.

I ended up voting for 2 more slots because that'd make 7 and I like that number.

i need more so many other pets i want to tame yet i love the one's i have blizz says we have enough but then why are giveing us those really nice spirit beasts >.>

This would be horrendously unfair,

Well, considering the ultimate ability in the MM and SV talent trees provide the player with a fabulous damage attack, but the BM gets 'tame exotic pets', I think there's already some imbalance amongst the three specs.

It could be arranged so that the BMs are allowed extra slots FOR their exotics that can only be tamed/used by BMs. I love my BM spec and I love my devilsaur and will eventually get my spirit beast...but the ability to have those uber-special pets doesn't really compare "fairness" wise to something like Chimera Shot, considering those pets themselves don't have a comparable damage enhancement bonus.

It's late, and I've been searching for Gondria, so hopefully I make more sense with this clarification?

I think that is a fair assessment. After all, BM Hunter's have the ability to tame both non-exotic and exotic pets, so in truth, they'd be more in need than other Hunters of acquiring extra stable space. Plus, given that MM and Surv. Hunters are desired more for raiding, this seems to be a reasonable compromise for BM's.

Consider this - Even if Blizzard DID put this idea into action, it's not like we can't duel spec and get the best of both worlds. Am I right?

My name is redbubble and i'm an addict. I am addicted to colecting pets. I need more slots so badly.

Lukwarm lvl 80 Nelf

Spirit beast"Skoll"...Sultan I think I was the first person on Bloodhoof EU to tame him.
devilsaur...Rex I keep him around cause I like the way he roars
wolf...FleaBag He is grey and scratches alot. I use him the most. He is the wolf you get near northshire abbey.
tallstrider...Found He was lost torranche.
I keep a slot free for playing around. I wish I had more slots.

Praf lvl 31 orc

carrion bird...Anzu Its the daggercap hawk. I love this model but I hate the grief I get from tanks about demo screech pulling more mobs. I like soloing with it.
cat...cat I dont think I'll keep it. I just don't like the way it looks but no-one complains about it.
