has anyone heard anything on spirit beasts lately? it was thought they would come in 5.1 but it seems like we got lots of other amazing pets instead! so i was just wondering if anyone heard from noah on if they have been pushed to 5.2 or if we just are not gonna see new spirit beasts in pandaria.

I've heard nothing. I assume they're not in. Unless I've missed it there's nothing new in the database that could be a spirit beast anyway. As for 5.2, I would hope so, but I have no info.

I hope we get them in 5.2, the spirit beasts are the new pets I (and a lot of other hunters) look forward to most in new patches/expansions.

Hoping with all the lack of information on it, that it will be something extra special...

Lack of information doesn't mean anything will or won't happen, just that no one's heard anything one way or the other. :)

Hmmm... somehow, I smell trolls, a trip to Zandalar... maybe we'll find a new spirit beast there?

Zandalar does make sense for a raptor or tiger or something similar spirit beast.

I was thinking Thunder King raid. He was ressurected, presumably directed Mogu attacks on the Vale of Eternal Blossoms (the main villain there mentions honoring him) and... he's disappeared? For someone that big in Azerothian history, he has to be up to something.

I think he left the stove on and the bathwater running since he's been gone....>->

Hoping is fine! I'm just making it clear for anyone who reads it and assumes it's fact. :D Because that's happened here before a few times. :lol:

Indeed and people got really mad when no spirit beast was put in despite nothing was said about a Spirit Beast being put in.

Well, there were plans back prior to launch, but evidently they were changed. :D

It would be nice if people adapted to change with a little less anger, but I suppose that's asking a lot. :/

At any rate, patience will eventually pay off. :D

Indeed. I was disappointed but at the same time...hopefully that it meant they were working on a really good SB model. I'd rather they take their time and make the 'next loque/skoll', if that makes sense. :3

Maybe they are going to meet some hunters halfway. We want to tame hydras, they don't want to let us have hydras..why not a Hydra SB?

To be fair, we were told by Wain (I think it was him) that Noah said a Spirit Beast would be 5.1.

When you hear it from a developer, you tend to believe it. I wasn't mad though, less spirit beasts means less stable trimming to fit another. ._.

I still expect a Spirit Porcupine. Would fit in well with the Vale too. xD

It wasn't Wain, it was me.

Just because something didn't happen doesn't mean it wasn't the truth at the time. Like I said before, plans can change and there's no reason anyone should be "really mad" about change. At least we know we're being thought of (150 rares, a new challenge tame, and a new family subset species in this patch alone show we're not forgotten) and that's all we need to know.

Indeed. One thing my fiance always tells me is the only constant with...well...anything....is change. The spirit beast thing was more of a speculation at the time if I recall. Nothing was ever set in stone and we all know by now that the PTR is constantly changing. Usually until it hits live, expect change to happen. :) (though sometimes stuff does change in live servers but you know what I mean)

To be honest I'm really hoping for the yak god to be turned into a spirit beast, even if we don't get normal yaks as pets.
