I saw a hunter with Arikara the other day and he had just been tamed him, I’m not 100% on wether it was the day before or after the patch though but I’m out to tame him on my orc hunter too so I’ll let you know.

Re: Arikara — I tested Arikara on the 2.2 PTR and he was still poofing, but it’s possible they made a change later. I can check out the barking pups much more easily, so I’ll take a look at that as soon as I can.

More worrisome to me is the rumors I’ve been hearing about aggro generation from pets changing — both up and down, depending on the pet level maybe? Probably it’s just patch day instabilities, but I worry about aggro a lot. :>

also wondering about Arikara. Heard of the stealth nerf. I wanna know why blizz made all pets the same other than the base +/-% to certain stats (by family). That took all the uniqueness out of the game. I liked my 1.3 spd Rake back in the day…

EDIT: for the hunters that tame it AFTER the patch – ones tamed before might still work [idk]

I hear Arikara is no longer summoned in a puff of smoke and stuff as of patch 2.20. can anyone confirm this? im an ally hunter and was getting a buddy of mine to summon it for me. i also heard that the barking wolves days are numbered too.

The ammo in Halaa was already BoP. I know because I “picked up” a ton of it for a friend prior to a raid, just to find out that I didn’t read the fine print. LOL

They could have made it so they require rep to use them instead of making them BoP.

I think it’s a fair change and how it should have been from the start! If others want that ammo, do the rep for it.

But the ammo already had a rep requirement for use. All the change did was make it impossible, as I mentioned, to buy a lot of it and then mail it to an alt for later returning. In other words, more frequent trips to HH/Thrallmar or Cenarion Refuge.

But oh happy day, monstrous kaliri now make sense to kill, and chests in Outlands are worth opening! And the greater blessings from pallys now also affects our dear pets, about time! I also like the new version of aspect of the viper, it makes it worth it to change aspect to get a mana boost.

Messyah: There was a lot of that going on yesterday, and I even know of several folks who had the strange experience of logging into characters that were camped in a town, resting, only to find themselves with a full set of red armor for some reason. Oh happy repair bills! This happened on both my hunter and my shaman, for example. The GM I spoke to was not at all helpful, doing everything but calling me a liar for my woes. Hopefully others reported it as well, so that they know it was not an isolated incident.

Boy, what a mess that new patch was. Not necessarily the features they added, just the implementation itself. For starters, I lost my macros and had to recreate them all. When I joined in my Kara team, I saw that all of my raid bars (for those who are not on my team) stacked in the middle of my screen and simply would not budge. I ended up having to reset my UI and that of course wiped out my macros (again) along with my mods, which I might add would not load until you checked the “load out-of-date mods” option. Then, the entire server reset, kicking us all, which lead to this…

My friends team all got kicked and were STUCK in Kara, unable to login to the game. One of them logged in with an alt and opened a ticket for his main. They helped him but said that each person would have to log in under an alt and request their own ticket. Gee, how helpful. So, they all did that, and they each logged in to find themselves dead, some had as much as an 18g repair bill and Attumen and the ads were all gone. Not dead and lootable, just… gone.

They opened a ticket and when I logged off after killing Attumen with my team, they still had not heard from support.
