I tamed one of these a few weeks ago, stabled her over the weekend to do BG’s with a guildie, and last night when I went to take her out to get her to 68, she wouldn’t come out?

Anyone else having this same problem?

I just did this on my Draenei hunter and I <3 her. At least I don’t have to wait til Botanica to get a pretty pink one :D

Wow, this totally works. I snuck down to Tranquillen and tamed one with my hunter last night. I had one of the pink dragonhawks and really wanted a red one, but haven’t had the time to pull together a Botanica run for my hunter. And the tame was totally easy. Just sneak up to the flightmaster, throw down an ice trap, and then target a dragonhawk and tame. None of the NPCs or other dragonhawks aggro’d me.

What was even funnier, there were a bunch of lowbie Blood Elves running around in Tranquillen who watched me do it. Too bad of the communication barrier between the factions, although I imagine what they said translated to something like, “WTF is going on?! She jacked our mount!”

This was a totally fun, easy, and sneaky tame. This is also the second time I’ve sneaked down to the Blood Elf starter area with my dranei hunter…the first time was when she was a naked level 11…she had to have one of those red Springpaw Lynx cubs. XD

I had one today. I got the boot now I have no pet. Did this happen to anyone else?

I had to go out and get one just for fun. Too bad it’s not a unique skin so everyone knows where you ninjaed it from, but then on the other hand that means the Blizz Spoilsport Team can’t go and skin it back to “normal” once they nerf the ability to tame them. It’s really such a gorgeous little beastie for walking around in Shatt with if nothing else :)

They are gorgeous! I wish my highest Ally hunter was any where near that level (33rd night elf). Please, please, Blizz, don’t fix anytime soon (or ever).

Well darn it!My Alliance alt hunter is only level 30,so this will likely get fixed before I’m high enough to get one.Which sucks cause those things are freaking gorgeous!

Oh darn! My dwarf is only 55 :-)
It’s hard, I don’t know if I want a red raptor, a red windserpent, or a red dragonhawk! But, maybe a dragonhawk, now that I see this, but lets hope its not fixed for a realy looong time… hehe

Oh, how fun! :D I still think getting one out of Bot is a rite of passage for would-be dragonhawk falconers. ;)

And by the way–I don’t know if I mentioned this, but the purple phoenix-hawks in Tempest Keep, the level 72 ones? Beast Lore says they are in fact tameable. Given they have a knockback-charge and a very nasty manaburn AND they’re un-CCable, I don’t think you’d want to try taming one.
