I was tabbed out when he turned up; was the freakiest thing to tab back into!
We're on Anasterian (US PvE).

Lohuran, that certainly isn't the case in PvP, which is what Cblaze is interested in. But, we are drifting way off-topic now.

Balance PvE and PvP to where everyone is happy....is impossible. Never gonna happen. Honestly, Blizzard needs to make pvp stuff and pve stuff SEPARATE. That way both can be tweaked as necessary. Totalbiscuit has commented on that. PvE will get the most attention so long as the two are connected.
Now....in BGs and TB....I've not had any problems as a BM hunter using a spider. I have the horde running from me or trying to find me to kill me cause I'm being annoying to them. I'm not sure how it is in arena but on my server, people are begging for hunters in arena. So PvP isn't that bad off.
I won't argue there PVE is always a priority in this game, the problem with hunters atm is focus works great in PVE and is absoluetly terrible in pvp, so its a hard thing for developers to address. Like I said sub 2k arena is w/e, as an avid BM hunter myself its pretty faceroll vs baddies, I'm a 2480MMR BM hunter, trying to push to glad this season, so far the only setting i've personally felt comfortable in this season was 5's, and thats running ret/fury/bm/sub/rsham at a 82% Win/loss, would be 100% but our warrior spends to much time alt tabbed and missing ques. KFC asked for hunters because of scatter/trap, instant CC while the warrior solo's someone, PHDK 2.0 is a result of broken frost dks, comps aren't formed because of the hunter, but as a pure dps class were a valuable "support" assest to broken melee trees. Anyone who thinks hunters are fine play below 2200MMR, or are delusional and really think their partners numbers/capabilities are their own. A look at our class forums, and arena junkies hunter forums you'll find everyone telling you as much as I am, only on petopia are hunters happy

Anyway not gonna detrail thread.
Basically, hunters got nothing this expansion but a headache, most classes got some pretty cool abilties, we got nothing. Like I said, alot of the complaining about new pets from people here are a result of getting pretty much nothing this expansion, while everyone got cool new stuff, we expected new pet concepts/models to placate a community already feeling like it got shafted and got none of that. When people see DKs dark sim, or run around with transformed ghouls, or warlocks hand of guldan, or mage ring of frost etc etc etc. As a hunter you got nothing to show but a worthless predator effect ability, and what you were hoping would look as cool as fandral staghelms cat form at your side only in turn to have a blue gondria. Can you really blame or flame people for venting over stuff when the notes read
8 new rare tamable beasts have been added, each of which provides a unique taming challenge. Will you be the first hunter to tame Deth'tilac, the rarest and most powerful of them all? Players will need to progress through the Hyjal Regrowth and Molten Front daily questing areas in order to unlock access to the full gamut of taming challenges.
I see both ends of the arguement, the favorable and unfavorable side, but I think most just expected something to raise their spirits thats all.
See how words like "new" "rare" throw people through a loop?
Edited for multiple spelling errors multiple times, I know its late and im tired

Btw, are these spiders spirit beasts? I've been assuming so, due to the trend and difficulty factor. Because I swore that the red/orange spiders were tamable?

No they aren't. :3
Red was. Orange wasn't.

sigh.. I'm beginning to get dissapointed as well.
3 spiders that I'll never tame as they have no raid use, and I'm not real fond of the model (3 colors of the same model, correct?)
3 spirit beasts that I may eventually tame, but nothing I'll chase after hardcore.
This isn't looking good.
I suspect we'll have one more spider, and one other misc spirit beast.
Edit: and nothing that will look good with my orc hunter.

Also, according to a post, 2 others were found.
Kirix (Green toxix spider)

Anthriss (Yellow Spider)
Edit: So wait, thats 5 spiders, 2 cats, and an owl? :< Kinda disappointed. Was hoping for more than just 3 models.
Edit 2: And the spiders aren't spirit beasts? :\ Bleh, a slight let down.

I think the surge in hunters attempting trick tames has gotten Blizzards attention in a possative light! Finally its not just trap tame done, but actually making the Tame itself chellanging. Something I have been really longing for, for far to long!
And the methods are awsome in disuading any non-hunters from griefing the spawns themselves. I am really impressed by blizzards take on these new tame methods.
Thank you Blizzard!!!
(however I due long for more unique models as well, spiritbeast have far to many cat models...actually the game has way to many...other families need love to)

That's rather dissapointing. I'll certainly pass. Sigh.. Just when things were getting exciting.

Now just replace 2 or three of the spiders with different models, and we'd be fine.....
