You will be unable to do anything other than see chat in real time. It's kind of like a disconnect that never actually disconnects you, forcing you to close the game and wait a bit for it to register your character as logged out. Ran into Val, who I didn't even see behind me, and I got hit by the bug when trying to get two gromits.

The mob retains data from the rare it was tamed from. A normal purple gromit is a different mob in the game from the rare. I am the same when it comes to the MF spiders. I would rather try taming the rares first than the normal mobs that share the models.

Not going to tell people what they can and can't tame. I've been harassed over pet tames in the past and I'm tired of it. If there's a hunter that wants to tame it I'll go out of my way to help them or wish them luck.

I'm one of those hunters that would like to tame Zelnithop. Had my eye on him for awhile. If he's tameable when patch releases that's cool. If he's not then that's alright. His spawn timer isn't that long on the days he's up. Zelnithop isn't just a named rare, it's got it's own id number too that's different.

Not because he'll be any different in the game (I'd even rename him truthfully), but because there's a unique enjoyment I get from targeting special mobs for a tame, if there is one for a specific pet skin. I still like to think of when hunter pets used to retain the ID number deep down in their coding, but even if they don't anymore, it's still a little more special to me than just aiming for one of the generic plentiful ones in a zone. A personal goal and sense of fulfillment, even if only for myself and no one else.
