Just logged in to a beta char with the swarmer pet...
It's much larger now and classed as a Silithid - still classed as not being tameable however!

Thanks for the update!

Making it a silithid and not a scorpid at least suggests someone over there has been thinking about making the ants tamable, as that seems like a fairly deliberate change...

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. I saw this post and I am going out to tame one of these on each of my huntresses! Here's to hoping! eeeeeeeee

I've already done that Ikult

Thanks alot again Darknez!

I have been absent for some time and when I came back it was like ''POOF! Bang in the face! Right in the kisser!''

Aaand eh. I was ecstatic with lots of more Silithid and non-Silithid posts ( example: Hellhounds) and I was seriously about to make a post to ask about the ants and here you bumped this thread with a picture. What a coincidence! (It was yesterday)

So.. yay! \o/

( I already tamed one 3 months back on my hunter - hoping Blizzard doesn't change it and makes all ants tamable. I always found it ironic after Cata beta information that it was the only kind of Silithid untamable (aside from Sand Reavers, which I am still having hope for to get tamable, especially with the news of bosses in AQ being tamable <3 ) whilst the Silithid family icon is that of an ANT. I always found it odd x)

Trouble is the "Sand Reaver" species appear only as bosses or event spawns (i.e. http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=39149) so I'm not sure if they will be tameable or not

Would be an interesting one regardless!

Oh WOW, Gadget's getting its own Ring of Blood. THAT IS AWESOME.

I wouldn't expect the linked guy to become tameable, nor the later guy in the chain....Prince Mosh. (!!)

I'd love it if sand reavers became tamable... pure nightmare fuel, those.

Heya! I have spasmed alot lately with more Silithid skins and ofcourse not only Silithid skins; Chromaggus ('Ooooooh yeaaaaah..'), Demon Hounds, MOAR Shale Spider and alot more.

But I have a question - for if anyone could check if not done before. It could also just be the bug of listing untested things tamable but could any of you on the beta check:

I'd be really grateful if you did! I am kinda hoping that they would become you know.. normal tamables! With the Silithid family icon being the one of the Aurokk/Ant and such..

(And thanks alot, Wain and Darknez and many other betanicians for making our (WoW) life better! And Mania for her hard work too, but I believe there is a thread for that! \o/ )

this guy dissapears each time after i summon him...why god why?!

I've still got no issues with my swarmer. What seems to be happening to yours?

each time i summon him he despawns after two secs...

Tried clearing your cache, turning off any addons, moving him around stable slots and between the active and stabled pets?

Make sure that you're Beast Mastery and have the talent. I just tamed one on live and copied my toon over, had the same problem until I speced BM. Maybe that's your issue.

He's not classed as exotic but is a Silithid, so that is a possibility. I've always been BM so wouldn't have checked

tried moving ^^ i don't have any addons though..i'll check if i'm bm ^^

Let us know what you discover.

Awesome! Thanks again Darknez. I do hope they shrink the swarmer abit. I don't mind big pets but the ant skin just needs to be abit smaller xD - Ahwell. It's a bug so I wouldn't think Blizzard would shrink it consciously.


Also. Could you try to check if the mobs listed above are tamable? They say so on WoWhead - It would make me happy. I mean, I do think Blizz plans to make the ants fully tamable.

Assisting as much as possible. Notice the diet, despite the sadface discovery. Visited all three, there ya go. Someday!

Judging by what we've seen so far - the alteration of a creature so that it becomes a beast, has a species and a diet.. it usually only means one thing.

They are either toying with us - or will make it tameable in a patch to follow...
