To have a multishot, that would avoid cced mobs would make the game easier, true enough. But on the other hand, wouldn’t I take extra care to NOT attack the foes my fellow magician has taken out of combat for a while? I think it would have been neat to have a “selective” multishot.

As for the pets, I really don’t understand why some are untameable. Why are some Dragonhawks tameable and some not? This is stupid and bears no logic. But logic is somethng, Blizzard has thrown overboard a whle ago… Warlocks, for example, would be instantly killed by guards or whoever is around when they show up with their demons on a leash, out for a walk. Demons? After the war against the legion? Yeah right… And the Death Knights? They will be available for both factions and then fight alongside Warlocks, Priests and Paladins… Urgh! Aren’t they supposed to be Arthas finest? Well, some time after WotLK is available, horde and alliance will have more DK than Arthas could ever have dreamt of, I promise. So much for logic and lore… Am I a role player? Yes, why do you ask? ;o)

Blizz really only cares about money. And most people will enter their item-frenzy and do what Blizz wants them to do.

Well, my hunter is only lvl 57 by now (But I love him! Even more than my beloved rogue!) so I can’t say to much about the high end content and stuff like that.

Blizzard needs to provide new skins in new patches, not level 70 pets with the same skin as lower ones… makes getting unique/rare pets at low levels a lot less… well, rare and unique.

Like, why couldn’t that dragonhawk be tamable? Lore conflicts may be an issue, but nothing really enough to claim over us being able to tame them…

The new pet they did give us is lame, IMO. On a personal note, I MUCH prefer the ravagers at 63 that are bigger and more armored compared to the skinnier ones, hehe…

It’s really disappointing to only have one new lvl70 pet. Honestly I expected all the lowbie Blood elf pets in the Blood elf starting area to be raised to 70 in the new isle. It is Blood Elf territory it would only make seance to have lvl70 sprig-paw cubs and lvl70 dragonhawks tamable.(don’t get me started with leatherworking, they completely left improvements out for us) Blizz seems to just be dragging players along now for their monthly check in the mail.
I also agree with other posts that Bliz is noobing up the game, but that also goes with my blizz conspiracy that they only care about the player$ ca$h not their characters and are tying as hard as they can to get more people subscribing. {gasp}conspiracy theories. wow commercials?? I love Shatner but really do you think they play the game? Anyways sorry if this upsets anyone but Blizzard just pisses me off sometimes with their slow dragged out process. (Still patently waiting for StarCraft Two, what its been now since the video came out, a year?)

Very dissapointed in patch 2.4. And its even sadder that i just now think “standard blizzard”

New ravager makes the one i tamed at L17 alot less unique.
Aimed/steady shot still rotates my hunter on the spot (was supposed to be changed)
Medpet changed from the notes of last week from 50/100% heal condition to 25/50.
Multi still breaks CC
Pet speed still bugged – saw a perfect example with ravashing, a purple ravager on my alt hunter. It was so slow the ravager was fully stationary beside a mob for a second before actually attacking.
Mobs and quests still bugged.

So basically Patch 2.4 can be summarised as: some new stuff, but no actual fixes.

Ryno – thanks for the info, that’s saved me a death or two! Because I was definitely tempted by the great blue dragonhawk looks – wish they were tamable.

Aww! The multishot thing was the only thing I looked forward in this patch! Other than that this one just nerfed my buddys and broke my petemote! (If you get any news on a new 2.4 petemote please put it up Mania! I know I’d appreciate and I’ve spread the word on my server!) This is a letdown now all I have is less hardrive space and a boring pet…

Well, the blue dragonhawks in the Sunwell are NOT tamable, for sure. I went in, waited for the pat (robot) to go by, ran up, bestial lore, not tamable. Got closer, casted tame, and nada, not tamable came back up.

I’ve noticed after the patch that my cats don’t tank or keep aggro as well anymore. *sigh* I guess it was time to take my faithful wolf out of the stable after leaving him there for a few months. He tanks better, but I still have the aggro issue with him, too. ARGH!
