Open Q&A at blizzcon

So, reading coverage from the Q&As and I saw this listed as a question asked:
I like the dog pet a lot (Gilnean dog pet) any plans on making it more ferocious?
Maybe we can make them a little meaner, give them rabies or something.
That was the only hunter question we've had answered so far about pets and they wasted it talking about the dogs? Really? Why not ask something like: Are there any last minute new pets or families you are hiding on us? Like Hydras and Stags?
grumble grumble.
edit: oh I guess they asked this at one point too.
GC promised us a moose. WHERE IS OUR MOOSE?
Yeah. He did. Damn that guy. We gonna find him. and ask him. Yourself. No damn idea. I want a moose, Chris (Metzen) wants a moose. Muhh. Where is it? No idea?

Hehe, yeah.
Also, was it just me or did the Hunters in the Class Q&A all come across as a bit....obnoxious/aggressive? I was a little ashamed that there weren't any level headed hunter questions asked that didn't seem to be a rant or a whine. Ah well.

Definitely. The answers were kinda' bad too. I mean, "Different classes have different perks" as a response to our deadzone? That's just stupid. No other class is weakened in that way anytime. -.-

personally after seeing their lineup of panels and so forth on the schedule, I was a bit disappointed they didn't bother to take the time and have a Q&A for each class separately. I mean, how hard would that be? Surely they have enough staff to handle that.
Oh well.

They also have a limited amount of time, which is shared with their other 2 franchises. They don't have unlimited stages either, so all in all 10 separate panels wouldn't be a feasible thing to pull off.

I didn't like there reply to this..Druids have several spells that can be cast on the move. Pretty much any dmg dealing spell that is instant can be used on the fly..
Q: Hunters are the only class in the game with a minimum range. This hurts us a lot in raids. They can stand directly in front of you, they can repeatedly stand in front of you and use a ranged attack, why can't Hunters do the same thing and stack near the boss?
A: It's a theme for the class. Larger hit boxes on bosses cause a problem, and that's something we'd like to address.

I do think that screening questions to keep out idiots might not be such a bad thing...

From what I gathered from hearing about the moose a couple of times... Ghostcrawler wanted a Moose MOUNT, not a moose you can tame.
Speaking of mounts, but not trying to steal the thread... what is the "Alchemy Mount" I heard about? One of the designers said something like, "Who hasn't wanted to ride one of their friends"...

You transform into a stone dragon and a friend can mount up on you.

God, why not;
I like how you made dogs finally. Any plans on making more species tameable outside of mastiffs?
*facepalm*

This! Totally! X_X; Like I said, Mastiffs ingame already look meaner than their RL counterparts. Mastiffs are called the gentle giant for a good reason. they aren't meant to be vicious.

Some people stupidly think;
Big dog is mean dog. Or I fret this could be a person who likes to make their dogs mean- I've seen it here. It isn't pretty. And the dogs? They'll scare the bajeebus out of you and you will be greatful they are chained to a post on a 3 foot lead.

This was a pretty lame Blizzcon. Was there anything we didn't really know already?.. a new class for Diablo, I think that's about it.

There was a bit I didn't know. it wasnt that bad. Saying it was lame is a bit of an over-exaggeration. They can't spoil too much, otherwise no one would buy the game. A little mystery is what is the lure on a hook.
