Unique/rare skins you want common in MoP

[Gimlion]

I know, I always feel bad because I've had hunters tell me they can never find Magria, and I'm here, having found her 11 times (was 9, but the last 2 times I camped for Ankha I ended up finding Magria again...). My zone's pretty much empty when it comes to Firelands Dailies and such, so all those rares are always up, and I hear stories of people wishing that they could snag them on their zones... I stopped counting the amount of times I see a rare up in FL, especially b/c with how quiet it is there, I'm not sure if some of them have were killed since the last I saw them, or if it's the same spawn.

And thanks, it would be an option if I had the funds to do, so I really appreciate the offer.

I would like to see more like the broodlings in Molten Front that are more semi rare than true rare. Where they spawn regularly all day long but only every 3 to 5 days, and are intermixed with something that looks like it can be tamed but can not be.

[Ziarre]

Yeah, Sholazar's pretty quiet on Suramar. In recent weeks I've run across both Aotona and Krush just minding their own business...late enough at night I couldn't find anyone to tame them. >.< At least Ziarre never has to hit that zone for Frostbitten (some friends were after Loque and would not be dissuaded from a kill, although I did mark the time to help a guildie who was after him--but not online at the time)...

I think uniques should stay unique. The have done enough of that already. For instance good old Mazz. Used to be a pet that had a truely unique skin, and people would know that you had a rare pet.
And that has happned to other skins too, as far as I know.
However, I'd love to see the rest of the unused skins become available either as rares or some new mobs.
I'd love to see some recolours too, and maybe some edited turtle skins on some new core hounds. We need more core hound skins!
(Not to mention spore bats, nether rays and so on).

Just tossing this out here, not all ghostly pets we can get are spirit beasts so why does anny possible new ghostly pet have to be one? I want more ghostly pets that arent a spirit beast, or a cat.

Also on reskins of spirit beasts. The 3 cats are reskins of eachother and no one is angry about that. So why would it be bad to have another color Loque or skoll? Heck they could make a black Skoll, give it firey effect, name it Hati and we all would most likely go: OMG! TAME! i would. i so would.

For possibly putting those recolors in a common non bm family: sure thing. why not. Gives more looks to chose from and your old spirit beast stay unique.
Im all for having thousands of models and skins to chose from and its even better if some of them have special effects. People love special effect pets so why does the majority of those pets have to be in the Spirit beast family?! Terrorpene isent. Lava spiders isent.

Of course, id rather see brand new models that have one or two unique colors with special effects on them than only recolors of older ones(though im not saying no to that) but ill glady take what i get. Unless its another bloody cat. I love cats but damn.

[Meggers]

I'm also not sure where the argument comes from that a current unique/rare is really all that rare.

Sooooo many people get those skins and you kinda see the "rare" skins WAY more than the regular ones. xD Makes them feel less "rare/special"

[GormanGhaste]

I'd rather see brand new models with special effects on them, but I'll gladly take what I get. Unless it's another bloody cat. I love cats but damn.

Yes, I'm not sure why Blizzard makes so many cat skins. It's the most popular tamed family, so I can understand it having more skins that other families, but (counting the new MoP skins) it has 41 different looks, while some other families only have three!

[Ziarre]

I'm just not okay with everyone running around with flaming kitties or sparking wolves. xD That's spirit beast territory, should stay that way. Loque's model without the flames in a different color, though? Sure thing, I'd be fine with that (just one example, mind you). Or Arcturis' model recolored to some of the normal bear colors.

[Kalliope]

I personally don't care either way. The supposedly "rare" and "unique" skins get sought after by most hunters, so there's more of them running around tamed than anything else. More often than not, making a rare skin more common in the wild makes it less common in major cities.

It'd be a nice break for people who are having trouble catching a particular rare, but that's about it.

[Ziarre]

Which just makes asking for rares to be common silly...if it's already 'common' tamed...why make it common in the wild?

So then it becomes less common tamed.

[Ziarre]

Meh. Not worth losing the thrill of the hunt in my case.

I always wanted a rare that was "always up" but perhaps it could randomly spawn in ANY of the zones across all of Warcraft.

Once he was killed / tamed he would spawn 10 minutes later, but he could be in Tanaris, then Netherstorm, then Borean Tundra, then Silverpine, etc.

That would be fun to hunt for, it would be more of a hunt than a camp, thats for sure

(kind of off topic, but a neat idea I think)

Honestly, I think this idea is brilliant. Lol, it's like the Deathwing flames.

[Vephriel]

I really like that idea too. Perhaps even one specific beast per continent.

Without the spawn timer window it makes the idea much more feasible. You could randomly stumble upon it on a zone, or if you really wanted it yourself you could just keep trekking around since you knew it was up somewhere no matter what time it was.

[Ziarre]

That could indeed be pretty interesting!

[Royi]

even the jester thinks of something fruitful from time to time

I threw that in the lurker thread. Maybe Noah will see it and think its something to look into.

(i don't know if it would be hard to code a npc spawning in multiple zones or not, but then again poseidus spawns in 2 different zones, but its still kind of 1 (vash'jir)

To add, there could even be one that pats all over the continent, with various random routes that could branch off or reconnect in different positions, so that it's not just a giant loop like TLPD, but more like a true wandering monster.

[Vephriel]

Actually, I thought of one just now.

I think Deth'tilac's model would look great in Crystalsong Forest. I could totally see some crystalline spiders running around down there, they'd suit it wonderfully. It's almost as though that skin were made for this zone, it matches so perfectly.

[Quiv]

I approached the concept of making rares/uniques more common for the sake of those are are unlucky.

However seeing Deth'tilac in that screenshot, wow. That would be very nice. I always thought Ankha was made for a snow zone, not that ugly place it spawns now
