New Pets for Seafarer's Dubloons on PTR

Gameplay Pet Battles
21
I just heard they added 10 more pet drops too Isle Exp...lord I hate doing those places...I always get stuck with lame groups that don't know what to do most times....unless I go with guildmate then he knows what to do. So that is 48 pets as drops in that damn crap isle exp.

They may not yet be done putting new stuff on the vendor, I see on wowhead that there's an albatross mount just been added for 1000 dubloons.

Now there's 4 pets added to Paragon Chests.

3 are Alliance-Only and 1 is Horde-Only.

I may hurt someone.

This is worse than putting mounts in the chests to me.

*twitch*

MUCH WORSE

*TWITCH*

I am not grinding paragon rep on my Horde. Period. Especially Talanji, which for some reason is twice as slow as the other reps.

That was my last exalted too, waaay after everyone else. Did all the quests there and emissaries when they showed up, mission table for Talanji rep too. Ended up just doing random WQs there for the bits of rep awarded. Weird how slow that was.

The Hazelnutty interview became worthless when they 180'd on the no new currency statement.

I think they were my second? Pretty sure it was the PvP rep, Talanji, Zandalar. Maybe it was third, but it was definitely not later than that. I only just got CoA because lawdy me, I hate those dailies. Haaaaaate, those progress bars seem to fill super slow.

Wait so 3 alliance only Paragon pets? Great, now we won’t even be able to trade properly with our 1 unique Paragon pet.

29

I imagine you could trade any doubles of the horde paragon pet you obtain to different people for their doubles of the alliance pet.

There are times when Zunde makes witty, intelligent comments and then there are times they obliterate a users thought process with their reply. #profoundclap

31

Yes but what I’m getting at is that I have to bank on the RNG to get that one pet every time for the chance to trade for three unique pets.

On the other hand alliance has three shots at getting a faction unique pet to trade it for the one horde pet they need.

You kinda see what I’m getting at?

32

That Paragon chests are a stupid idea yes.

For arguments sake let us say there were 10 possible loot options with alliance and horde paragon chests / caches. While the horde may only have one pet and the alliance three pets if each pet has a 10% chance of dropping from the cache both factions have an equal chance of getting a pet each loot.

34

Imagine the size of the wrench in the pet forum cog wheel if all the paragon pets were BoP. Such hysteria would be had. (can’t spell)

35

Problem with this is it doesn’t take into account that the pets on the alliance are spread across multiple reps. So in essence you receive more frequent chances to trade for the unique one in addition to only needing one extra one to get the single horde unique pet

36

The Horde also get a quest reward pet in 8.1 - Proper Parrot. Last I checked it’s only from the Horde War Campaign, but is cageable.

So that’s 3 Alliance-exclusive pets and 2 Horde-exclusive in next patch.

37

That is a good point. I didn’t consider that.

In terms of faction balance I don’t think there should be a big outrage over this. While I cannot think of a specific example at the moment I’m sure we could find many examples over the game where this happened. In absolute short, there doesn’t need to be a divider down the middle of faction rewards.

Let’s not forget the fact Horde have 3 exclusive questing pets from 8.0 quests and Alliance have 1 that has a 7 day timegate on it.

39

True but that one isn’t RNG dependent is it?

Also to reply to another comment I don’t think this is worth throwing a fit over it’s more just a bummer to have more pets gated behind RNG
