Removing pets from MM goes against Blizz’s stated goal of keeping the RPG in MMORPG

MM still has a pet. Switch specs and learn how to deal with being told NO.

Part. Not their entire being. And different specs have different defining cores.

I see it says “hunter” and not “marksman”.
Yet you call my angle a strawman :expressionless:

Because you are being a child and being condescending.
Its unnecessary.

Actually I am being intentionally dense to show you how you sound.

Where does it say it needs one or is required to be a hunter?

Again, pointing out that you are being toxic doesn’t make me a viticm or mean I am pulling a victim card.
That’s something narcissistic people say to gaslight others into making them think THEY are the problem as opposed to the person being condescending.

You aren’t going to fool me or convince me otherwise. You have a pretty good track record of being a toxic instigator that can never own up to it.

And yea I don’t care one way or another. Why? Because I know it gives mm better class identity and if I want to play with a pet, as a hunter main, I know I have 2 other specs to fall back on.
That is being a realist. That’s not being a troll. Thats how adults work. We don’t throw tantrums, gaslight and berate people for having a different opinion.

And disagreeing with people doesn’t give you a right to call them a troll nor does it make that accurate. That has been said numerous times by blues.

Youre fine to not want mm pets removed, thats a valid opinion but this is poor reasoning for it.

Replacing one rpg element with another different element is not stripping identity from the spec… If anything its ADDING to it by having more differences between the specs.

Personally im fine with the change, i realize many arent, but lets not pretend your argument is anything other than “i dont like it”

Youre not a victim, neither is the spec

Removing pets from MM fulfills a better “archer” fantasy the spec has going, if anything it’s more RP friendly

You did not refute me when you called me a clown. You said nothing other than what I quoted until later. Your only words: “It isn’t.” “You Aren’t.”

I am coping with liking the changes. Yuupppp

Tbh thats how I expected mm to play back in wrath.

The whole ranger theme has been missing. Especially as a big wc2 and wc3 fan. Was definitely odd.

Compare ALL of the potential pets that MM can tame right now and how it works (you summon it, you can direct it, it can fetch and so on) to the eagle. It is a net loss as an “RPG element” no matter how it is measured. A player can go tame an eagle right now and it objectively has more substance than the pseudo pet eagle. The tiny blip of an appearance that the eagle makes currently could actually be stripped from the proposed changes and it wouldn’t even matter, but that can’t be said of locking MM out of traditional pets.

As for comparing one spec against another… They said that hunters are defined by having a pet, which seems to trump this notion that MM shouldn’t have pets.

Not true.

Uses her bow as a staff in melee, so… not a MM at all.

Dual wields and moves into melee, not something MM can do.

The Dark Ranger Hero Tree is largely based on him and his hounds. It is available to MM.

Tyrande is also a priest and while the Night Warrior, looked more like demon hunter in terms of abililities.

Blizz says lots of things that they fail and/or never intend to live up to. Stated goals are made because they sound good to players. Pay attention instead to their actions.

Still waiting on Dance Studio.

Yes. But that mean its part of every specs fantasy.

That’s not how that works.
That’s how you are twisting it.

Clearly since you can’t comprehend a hunter that exists without a pet.

That’s not me and I never posted in that thread so what’s your point?

You should quote the entire thing to grasp what I said.

I don’t since you are the one insinuating mm requires a pet because hunters use pets and its part of their core identity remember?

You are quite literally spamming these threads. You argue and fight and calling people trolls and clowns who don’t agree with you.

Who is the one getting so upset they have to call people trolls and clowns? Its definitely not me.

Thanks for proving my point.

If you don’t like what I am saying, you are more than welcome to report me for trolling and put me on ignore.
Beyond that, your definition of “trolling” is very skewed since you almost copy paste all of your replies in all of these mm threads, yet everyone else is the troll.

Im literally playing bm and have for the past 10 years. Pretty wild claim to make against someone who has also been a hunter main for 15 years.
And have said numerous times how much I love my spider and how I make it a point to retame her across all my hunters.

You just make wild assumptions and false statements to paint people in a negative light.
But that’s all you have. False claims, condescending tone and statements. Anything to be heard and try and make others look bad.

Please leave me alone, tiger man. You’re on ignore and now quoting me to other people’s posts in different forums. We get it. You are very mad about pet. Harassing me is not going to bring fluffy back.

There is no buts here, it is a fact, period.

Spec is part of the class, therefore, a fantasy of the class is part of the fantasy of the spec as well.

It is how it works

A hunter can exist without a pet, marksmaship is not defined by it, they had the choice to not play with one.

Lmao, true, its just that you have the same looking character, saying the exact same crap, it gets messy

Now you are playing the “i was just pretending to be dumb”?

I didnt insinuate anything

You made a strawman to attack and is now using another lame fallacy, wanting me to prove an absurd claim you made yourself.

You clearly

Same, go for it, and i already know the army of alts is doing just that.

So, you dont even play the spec, and you are trying to decide how others have to play it.

you are the one saying i “insinuate” something, you are the one making absurd claims for me to prove, you are one ignoring blue post about hunter and their pet

Hey, remember when i said there was a bug in the PTR about a talent, and you said i was just doing something wrong/being bad? they fixed the bug in the last update, how the things turned :grinning:

Its one less appearance choice but its hardly removing hunter identity. And again, its fine to not like it. So dont like it. ( And for what its worth, you still have an animal companion, just not one you pick, that behaves differently. 0 class identity impact)

If part of the class identity is tame pets and control then, it does impact the identity of the class

It literally removes player agency and utility

Not so much “One appearance choice less”, but outright removal of a path of player expression and association to the class. Claiming they’ll expand choice in the future is something Blizzard has a rocky road on actually following through on. Effectively they’re taking away tame beast now, to give it back to us later (allegedly) and with some implied expected fanfare. No thanks.

So many things they said they’d do, they still haven’t done. Glyphs are embarrassingly underutilized.

Unless you’re a dwarven marksman who is tied to your bear. Why should Highmountain Taurens and Kul Tirans have their identities respected. Why should the other 14 races not be represented?

I despise pets and strictly play LW. This is a welcome change.

And they are further defining it.
So what is the problem?

Because choice is gone? Probably as a temporary thing? So we have to berate people and call them clowns for pointing out that if you want a pet going forward, you have to play bm or surv?

Shesh.

Racism lol.

I wasn’t playing dumb.
I quite literally said how I was acting and why in the same sentence.

I haven’t resorted to call you a clown or troll now have I?

None of my posts are hidden or taken down.

:dracthyr_shrug:

I have played the spec. I haven’t been a fan of how it has played in at least 10 years.
Every xpac I give it an honest go.
Heck I ran as mm in m+ in sl with the 200k gold spec legos just to see.

Its been clunky and not fun for me. And the pet was more of an annoyance for mm unlike surv and bm, aside from the obvious pathing problems.

And Im not deciding anything. Blizzard is. Im just excited for the change, especially after testing it on the ptr, which I know many of the complainers haven’t even tried.

Who is strawmaning now?
You claimed I don’t like pets and made claims I am being this super controling person.
Where have I said either? Lol.
And Im not ignoring the blue post, but Im also not twisting it to fit my narrative like you are.

…By forcing everyone to have an eagle as pet

you know what is the problem

:clown_face: gO pLaY bM hUntEr :clown_face:

You dont need to, when your entire basis of argument resort to fallacies, if you cant make a coherent one something is wrong in your reasoning.

Thats because i dont report anyone, not with my alts, i think everyone is free to do what they want, even if trolling or clowning

And you always could play without one :melting_face:

Im sur you will give an honest go, excited by it, and never touch it again, like you say you do.

you, because that is what you come out to be.

So, whats your reason to fight so vehemently against people who want the option for the pet backs? knowing full well, it will not affect the rework in any way?

Im sure you dont just want to defend blizzard stance about it

There is no twisting, pet is part of the hunter class, they said themselves, they even said they are going to make MM “reembrace” a pet, albeit an nontraditional one, because a pet is a core part of the class

Hunters having pets is a part of the identity. Hunters having access to different kinds of pets for different reasons has been at the core of the pet, which is actually part of the contention now because they decided to concoct Lone Wolf. If you take away the variety and the mechanical system you are in fact subtracting from the hunter identity. The thing they are replacing it with is not equal to what we have now.
