Silithid Swarmer - revisited

[Darknez]

Trouble is the "Sand Reaver" species appear only as bosses or event spawns (i.e. http://cata.wowhead.com/npc=39149) so I'm not sure if they will be tameable or not

Would be an interesting one regardless!

[Kalliope]

Oh WOW, Gadget's getting its own Ring of Blood. THAT IS AWESOME.

I wouldn't expect the linked guy to become tameable, nor the later guy in the chain....Prince Mosh. (!!)

[Worba]

I'd love it if sand reavers became tamable... pure nightmare fuel, those.

Heya! I have spasmed alot lately with more Silithid skins and ofcourse not only Silithid skins; Chromaggus ('Ooooooh yeaaaaah..'), Demon Hounds, MOAR Shale Spider and alot more.

But I have a question - for if anyone could check if not done before. It could also just be the bug of listing untested things tamable but could any of you on the beta check:

I'd be really grateful if you did! I am kinda hoping that they would become you know.. normal tamables! With the Silithid family icon being the one of the Aurokk/Ant and such..

(And thanks alot, Wain and Darknez and many other betanicians for making our (WoW) life better! And Mania for her hard work too, but I believe there is a thread for that! \o/ )

this guy dissapears each time after i summon him...why god why?!

[Darknez]

I've still got no issues with my swarmer. What seems to be happening to yours?

[bluddy]

each time i summon him he despawns after two secs...

[Darknez]

Tried clearing your cache, turning off any addons, moving him around stable slots and between the active and stabled pets?

Make sure that you're Beast Mastery and have the talent. I just tamed one on live and copied my toon over, had the same problem until I speced BM. Maybe that's your issue.

[Darknez]

He's not classed as exotic but is a Silithid, so that is a possibility. I've always been BM so wouldn't have checked

tried moving ^^ i don't have any addons though..i'll check if i'm bm ^^

[Darknez]

Let us know what you discover.

[Qraljar]

Awesome! Thanks again Darknez. I do hope they shrink the swarmer abit. I don't mind big pets but the ant skin just needs to be abit smaller xD - Ahwell. It's a bug so I wouldn't think Blizzard would shrink it consciously.


Also. Could you try to check if the mobs listed above are tamable? They say so on WoWhead - It would make me happy. I mean, I do think Blizz plans to make the ants fully tamable.

[Sonam]

Assisting as much as possible. Notice the diet, despite the sadface discovery. Visited all three, there ya go. Someday!

[Darknez]

Judging by what we've seen so far - the alteration of a creature so that it becomes a beast, has a species and a diet.. it usually only means one thing.

They are either toying with us - or will make it tameable in a patch to follow...

[Antares]

These are very cool. I think we should have fifty slots next patch!

[Mania]

*blink* These guys still end up as ants? I could have sworn that was fixed.

[Rawr]

In the PTR mine works, but he has some naming issues. It wont let me just name him, I think it thinks I named it Scorpid, they will require a Certificate of Ownership to change the name, but do it before u dismiss them or u will have to wait a week to try it again.

[Darknez]

Well it'll be nice if it's left in regardless.. I'm quite fond of my lil swarmer
