(Some Cataclysm Spoilers) When does a pet become rare?
Here's a couple that I'm thinking about getting, just in case they disappear.
Silithid Ravager - If Thousand Needles is flooding, what happens to this guy? Unique Silithid skin, only available there.
Ghost Saber - The Screenshots make Darkshore look like it's been turned upside down...who knows what this does to the Ghost Saber ruins?
Diseased Black Bear - Apparently the zone is going to be a much happier place...possibly with non-sick bears?
Any you guys might see? Do you see these staying in-game anyhow?

Re: (Some Cataclysm Spoilers) When does a pet become rare?
Very true...the beta will make things a bit easier. However, isn't there supposed to be some in-game events coinciding with this? If so, there's a chance that parts of the world could change pre-expansion in a patch...which may not have nearly the beta time.Palladiamorsdeus wrote:Something to keep in mind is that there will be a beta phase, so we will know what is going to disappear before it actually disappears.
Either way, here's hoping that they release the new stable system before the world completely changes...I'd totally like to grab one or two of these guys without giving up my other pets.

Re: (Some Cataclysm Spoilers) When does a pet become rare?
I've been thinking/hoping the exact same thing patch 4.0, I'll go tame all unique skinned/rare pets that I can lol (and ones that have skins that may no longer exist)Tahlian wrote:The lead-up to Cataclysm will be patch 4.0, in all likelihood. That's when the mechanics changes and the stuff that affects everyone whether they buy the expac or not will be implemented. I think there'll be plenty of time to rescue endangered species once we get a look at the beta and have a better idea of what we'll be dealing with.

Re: (Some Cataclysm Spoilers) When does a pet become rare?
As for the Silithid, he is NOT a unique skin... You can tame a tan Silithid in the Temple of AQ, so don't be too worried about him.
And finally, the bear, which I believe will either be moved to EPL, or left as a rare mob skin keeping an ever-so worrying reminder of what once was and could become again, or move their spawns closer to the WPL/EPL border.

Oh wait. /reviews previous pets this has happened to
Sarcasm aside, I'm thinking they won't completely take out any skins on purpose. Most likely will add them in to some other area.

Re: (Some Cataclysm Spoilers) When does a pet become rare?
My thinking too. I don't think they'll get rid of any, otherwise new hunters would never be able to tame them, and that wouldn't be right.Ryno wrote:Sarcasm aside, I'm thinking they won't completely take out any skins on purpose. Most likely will add them in to some other area.

Re: (Some Cataclysm Spoilers) When does a pet become rare?
Well you have to remember the ONLY cases this applies to afaik are Ghost Wolves. Gezz and the Sapphire Hive Queen. The GW are the most annoying as Blizzard even said that GW's would remain tameable. But Gezz and the queen were removed from the game basically when they were retired without warning :/Ryno wrote:I doubt Blizz will remove a lot of pet skins. The community would feel it as a betrayal. Giving them pets, then taking them away...

Though I am keeping hope alive that they'll be brought back somehow- as that was how serpents were made tameable I hear. Accidently classified as Wind Serpents; then made tameable but.. yeah.
Anyways I agree with you; it's not that hard to change skins or place different mobs in places.
who knows maybe Cata will see the return of the retired pets..?

I sincerely hope so Ryai; I truly do.Ryai wrote:who knows maybe Cata will see the return of the retired pets..?
I was extremely bummed to have not been able to tame Gezzie before she was taken away. The day before the patch was released I had gained a few extra levels (just in case I would have to try and solo tame her), bought myself a flying mount, grinded my way through the questline, and gather the mats I would need to finally summon her. Needless to say, when I made the fateful discovery the next day (damn me for needing to get some sleep before work), I simply couldn't bring myself to play WoW for some time out of bitterness and grief!
