Please don’t remove Hunter pets

[Rankin-shandris (Rankin)]

I like how some people are acting like it’s too late and these changes are already live while the PTR hasn’t even started yet. They’ve got a couple months to iterate on their design. Which is part of why they started the feedback thread at such an early point.

[Eàu-warsong]

Its just, this change is so atrociously bad there is nothing to discuss,
you dont want hunters with pets > add sniper spec, dont ruin the game for majority of players.

It doesn’t even have to be that complicated, they could easily keep pets with this rework, they’re just choosing not to because I guess someone at Blizzard just hates pets in general and is slowly whittling them away from the game.

I don’t see this exactly. I think it is more about people in high end content trying to min/max and finding pets don’t do them any good. They seem to be just a wildcard that can draw aggro and cause problem, with little DPS add.

So, of course, Blizzard wants to cater to this be revamping the whole class on EVERYBODY. Because everyone else kinda don’t matter.

Someone at squeenix feels the same way. They just deleted pets from the game rather then try to improve pet AI

Well yes, the game devs are catering to the Meta. Which is my playstyle. I DO NOT DENY THAT. Solo players have ALWAYS been 2nd class citizens. Again, I do not deny that.

What irks me is that somehow playing the Meta means I don’t also deserve the same platform as RPs or people “who want to play their own way”

Ok so, I have no problem with you, or anyone else, particpating in raid or M+. I absolutely DESPISE raids, and dislike M+. But if other people like them, I’m fine with that.

You go girlfriend! Live yo best life! As they say.

What I complain about is that even when the produce some solo content, it is really “soloable content”. Delves are obviously made to be optimal, from a time and difficulty standpoint, to be done in groups, just like 5-man instances. The way they scale and the design of the end bosses, they are pretty much the same as those.

I would like something, even just ONE THING, made for people such as myself. They have follower dungeons, but those are trivial. No challenge to them at all. Delves are only a challenging for certain classes. While for any pet class they are trivial.

I’m not asking for the same amount of content for people such as myself, just a little bit. A single dry bone on which I can gnaw away my time.

Yeah, one of the posters a few hours ago actually said it best. The population has changed. The sweaty gamer geeks who loves number crunching games 10-20 years ago are now middle aged gamer geeks with families who like gaming with their kids.

Blizz need to reevaluate their priorities. Which is why they introduced actual Solo content for once. And as somebody else pointed out, with the Gilded crest changes for delves, this Solo content is pretty much going to be a new Solo Pillar.

I still think the changes are good. Plenty of other RDPS classes don’t have a pet. This does not mean this will kill MM for solo. They just need, really really NEED, to make sure the new pet-less MM Hunter has the right tools.

[Skizzic-proudmoore]

LOL no. Timing 6+ is NOT the same as solo world content. I can solo Tier 8 delves. That is not the same as a Mythic anything.

And yes, I do apologise to you at least. I do need to be more considerate to other people. That is really my bad.

[Yuraa-benediction]

@Eàu-warsong

You can have hunter with single pet, hunter with lots of pets and hunter with no pets.
Ability to do that DIRECTLY TIED TO THE TALENT OF DEVELOPMNET TEAM.
If they dont have talent, nor vision (or anything for that matter in this case) you have situations like this.

Blizz also made this problem themselves when they made hunters only have 2 ranged specs. Now they want you to choose summoning a zoo vs a random bird proc. Nothing in between that lets you play how the class originally was.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

@Yuraa-benediction

Now they want you to choose summoning a zoo

They are adding an option for BM to have a single pet instead of two. If you take this option and Dark Ranger, and avoid summoning talents like Dire Beast, you can make a viable single-pet build.

@Skizzic-proudmoore

Do you have a 2k+ rating MM Hunter who does 10+ and always has a pet out? If you do then I take back everything I’ve said

I’d be surprised if they were doing 8s tbh

Yet its changes the majority of MM hunters have been asking for.

You solo players aren’t he majority.

Any evidence for your yapping?

[Snozay-area-52]

@Eàu-warsong

Any evidence for your yapping?

The class discord abd years of discussion talking about the issues MM has faced.

If you had any basic understanding of the class you would know the issues im talking about.

[Julaalu-lightninghoof]

@Alamara-goldrinn

You see? And that’s why Blizzard won’t listen. You are not in search of compromises or solutions, you just want to stomp your feet and keep things as they are.

Creating a opposite of Lone Wolf where you get tanking bonus having a pet out. Since MM usually have it out as a tanking pet.

I didn’t ask for it. I’m not sure where you are getting these magical numbers of hunter’s asking for MM to be shafted.

There has been like a thousand suggestions on how to fix the issue instead of lieaving MM as is.

[Dreadtendies-sargeras]

Yes, and the development notes they shared are why I think this is an overall net positive.

[Snozay-area-52]

@Julaalu-lightninghoof

Good thing I didn’t say “all” and only said majority.

@Julaalu-lightninghoof

It’s actually not being shafted. It’s fixing a lot of the issues that MM has had for group content.

I dont believe you.
This thread is evidence 2.3k comments against the change.
Try again troll.

I don’t care.

@Eàu-warsong

This thread is evidence 2.3k comments against the change.

This thread is 2.3 comments of people going back and forth over the change and lots of trolls

The forums are also a very minor number of the player base so that’s not even a valid argument.

@Eàu-warsong

Try again troll.

I don’t need to try again. You and a bunch of other people have clearly shown you’re out of touch on the class basics and don’t have any clue what you’re talking about.
