Kind of odd that they have 3 of the same spirit beasts - just in different colors. And the color choices are odd. It's kind of like Earth, Water, Fire....Maybe if u tame them all u open up to the real rare tame....

Nope, nothing seems to happen once you have the trio.

That is actually a badass idea.

Spirit beasts -- completely underwhelmed. I'd hoped for a corrupted sha-look, or that phoenix model, or even a celestial(ish) skin like Xuen's or the Crane's.

Instead I got a booger porcupine and 2 recolors

Dinos -- eh. I'd hoped for the pterrors, Devilsaurs I liked the old model better and Triceratops are cool, but it doesn't seem like a pet I'd click with.

All in all ho-hum for me personally.

I agree that I was slightly disappointed by the spirit beasts. Looking at the quality of some of the newer models and textures, having yet another spectral with recolours is a bit... yeah.
I would adore to see something like Loque or Skoll introduced again. They don't have to have brand new, unique models, but a different skin would be great.

Since I really don't like the BM play style now, so will be running as SV or MM, I'm fine with getting a red Direhorn.

I never approved of having a pet family only composed of rares. I refused to even consider getting a SB until Ghostcrawler.

They kinda.. scare me I dont know why lol. But I am pretty much underwhelmed by them.. everything we pretty much said we didnt want for spirit beasts: ghostly spectral version or recolors of ghostly spectral version ... we pretty much got. I may try for the red one I dont know.. its just underwhelming and way too see through. The dinos I adore though

I agree, I don't like that they're spectral and the red one is the best looking. I'll probably pass on them. My two favorite Spirit Beasts are still Loque and Skoll although I hate that they cheapened Skoll by making a regular version of him.

The only reason this bothers me is because I see washed-out-Skoll *everywhere*. It makes me think that people are too lazy to go get the real one.

Remember, this is about 5.2 tamables, not old ones. ^.^

And on topic- I just realized that the blue devilsaurs, which I'm already in love with, have purple mouths. YES PLEASE.

Or they might not care for BM spec (since they're classified as a wolf). I don't believe it's fair to judge the non-BM hunter community simply because they're using a particular pet. If I was looking for an awesome looking pet that didn't require me to be BM spec, I'd get a "washed out Skoll" in a heartbeat. It's one of the best looking wolves in the game, IMO, and the fact that many other people use it is proof of that. Please keep this in mind.

Back to the topic, I just hope that these SB porcupines aren't the only spirit beasts. I'm all for a "common" Spirit Beast so other players can get them without having to camp one of the rare ones, but it would be nice if we could also get a rare one in this patch, too, especially after having to wait 2 patches for ANY spirit beast to arrive. XUEN MODEL, PLEASE! *gets down on knees and begs* XDD

I know that there is going to be a group that likes every pet, but are porcupines really that popular?

Oh god... x___x I somehow totally forgot that Skoll is BM only. I assumed he was a wolf for some reason. Derp. Sorry about that.

I know I love my porcupine, Clover. I love tiny-tanky pets! I won't be getting the porcupine SBs, though. I have a strict one pet per family rule, and I'm not willing to give up Ghostcrawler.

I'm loving the new saurians and am hoping the big-eyed raptor anklebiter will stay tameable just for how disturbing it looks. I'll be getting myself a rainbow of direhorns, because why pick one?!

... But the new spirit beasts disappoint me tremendously. Words can't express how unfond of them I am. I love porcupines, their models are cute! ... When solid. While I know and understand only two of the spirit beasts are non-transparent, I am not fond at all of any spectral models; I don't like seeing their faces from behind. Finding out that it's likely every spirit beast in this expansion, like the last one, will be spectral is ... intensely disappointing. In no way does this mean I think other people shouldn't love them, I just don't feel the same.

Agreed, tamed but rarely used the SB cats for this reason.

I just wish Blizzard would really follow up on the whole solid spirit beast thing. Loque was and is vastly popular because of the unique, solid skin that looks quite nice (and that roar!). Skoll wasn't a unique skin but his effects and coloration were, and his solid look was nice as well. The ghostly spirits are... disappointing. Not saying they are unlikeable, they are simply, from what I see, less popular overall than the solids. Arcturis looks nice, but frankly? The solid Zombie version looks way better (imo), seen in the Karasang Wilds as undead.

Just because the family has 'spirit' in the name doesn't mean they all have to be ghosts

I like these rares; but they aren't a challenge. I got all of them within 1 hour =/. Degu: Cool but he moves like he has concussive w.o any debuffs. Hutia: Interrupt simple. Gumi: Run around in a circle for simple tame. So with that said, 10m respawn makes them feel un-rare. But on the bright side they look cool I suppose!
