How a Dwarf Became a Hunter Pet

[@ryantay9642]

I remember doing the warlock recruit a friend trick back then to get the Wolf Pup appearance. Never even occurred to me I could swap him off with Haiti’s appearance. When Blizz finally fixed the bug and my pup turned into a normal wolf my guild mates kept saying “He grew up so fast!”

[@ColdCryomancer]

Dude Hati and the hunter hall in legion were some of the BEST content when they were current

[@zeuthras]

I have no clue how you manage to get the information for your videos. They're really unique in comparison to the ocean of WoW videos that keep talking about the same stories. Wonderful content!

[@josejuanandrade4439]

There are several ways. You could: a) Be an old player thats been playing the game ever since and thus you lived through this (like myself) b) Know someone that is c) Reddit

[@MegaChickenfish]

Presumably anything left of this is gone when Hati was sacrificed at the end of Legion, but I do like how they continued to give us some Hati love afterwards in BFA with the Hati reborn questline, letting hunters using the two pet talent not only tame Hati once more, but play fetch, mount, or give him a fez, because why not?

[@drekbleh7081]

This video in a nutshell- "And so Blizzard detected fun."

[@malohn2068]

Blizzard can clearly see that players are trying to find fun and they chase them down just to stop them from having it.

[@Dicka899]

We don’t need dwarf hunter pets

[@DifferentRussian]

I'd argue about importance of visual consistency in the game, but that point was moot mid-wrath. Right now, with all the stupid fucking mounts/battle pets/toys/tmogs, who gives a hoot about a dwarf hunter pet, really.

[@souvyqedm]

I very much doubt this was about fun at all. I recall when cataclysm released, there was a quest in the barrens that turned the raptors into an un-targetable patch of fire. Tons of hunters went out of their way to tame it and take it into Arenas or BGs where the only way to DPS or CC the patch of fire was to use /target petname to hard target it. Sure there were tons of neat things you could turn Hati into but it only takes 1 wrong thing to ruin it all. Edit: Link for reference. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2GxgZ-elrdqoJo

2:47 well now I know why I lost my Oil wolf from the stable.

[@Sergeantsqueakers]

Wonder if people ever lost the druids u could tame in cata in silverpine i remember it was fixed pretty fast so u couldn't tame them but i don't recall if it was ever removed

[@Ne1vaan]

You could get a flaming boar in Mulgore from a quest. Eventually got reset.

Blizzard - the never ending fun police

[@TurbotarzanWoW]

They were surely on the case for this one - in the past it often took a minor balancing patch to fix these things, but in both cases, they were on it within hours

[@drobobrandegee7731]

God forbid hunters had crazy pets

[@sanjayw9878]

​​@@drobobrandegee7731 Did you not see him saying some people liked it and some reported it and complained? It doesn't even make sense from a lore point of view to tame a dwarf as a hunter, of course people are going to complain about that, both sides have a valid argument. Yes it's fun and keeps people playing, yes it's dumb AF and immersion breaking for serious players. If blizz kept it someone else like you would complain about how ridiculous and unrealistic it is to tame a dwarf or a demon as a hunter. Blizz isn't wrong since it was unintended, they would be wrong if they announced hunters can now now tame dwarves then a few weeks later took it away, but that's not how it happened

[@TheRealMycanthrope]

​@@sanjayw9878 wow, fun police would love you as a recruit. You even come with your own baton, which does double duty as the stick up your ass.

[@LeTtRrZ]

Anyone else see it as a real problem how Blizzard laughs at the whole fun police joke without stopping to ask why it’s a thing?

[@Wepospalient]

Those dwarves are into some freaky stuff.

[@drekbleh7081]

So, instead of adding content to the emerald dreamway by summoning NPCs that would attack non-druid characters, making the unique pet a symbol of a challenge, they just... remove it. This feels like a petty act of wounded pride: "The players are not playing the way i want them to"

[@kreuk13]

yeah I'm sure the idea of a "paid RAF hati skin" would've gone over extremely well with the community lol for real tho they couldve added the puppers to the open world somewhere instead.

[@Dicka899]

No I agree with blizzard on the dwarf one

[@deenman23]

yeah no,they simply dont like the idea of a baby pet being used,i dont think its a coincidence that no tamable pet has existed like this,this was just an oversigh

As an on and off hunter player, Blizz’s war against hunter pets is endlessly amusing to me. SoD basically patching them out of relevancy and making Hunter a petless class was wild

[@1un4cy]

Blizzard: here's a toy to let you transform your hati into any other pet you want, enjoy. Player: *transform Hati into an unconventional quest npc or debuff transformation* Blizzard: wait you can't do that

[@TricksterzMW2]

Seeing you upload made me happy. I am in love with your videos.

[@Tantakugames]

they really should have let people keep the weird hatis, especially knowing they were phasing hati out at the end of the expansion...

[@leeroyj7300]

okay, but why did it NEED to be fixed?

[@Wowzombie15]

Here’s another legion exploit pet story, this one is similar to the wolf pups. Emberspit scorpions from the shaman hall using the firelands scorpion model were tameable from the same steps to entering as Druid dreamway except shaman firelands. Rather than hotfixing the scorpions, they added a new npc to the molten front called Lost Emberspit Scorpion, while the wolf pup was a mistake, the scorpion ended up staying, this is the only case where an exploit showed them a certain model should be tameable

[@Troopertroll]

I can never forget the tameable worgen in Wrath. That was so cool and actually not lore-breaking. No idea why they removed it.

[@whimpering_worm]

I experienced something like this at TTW early access. There was a weird buried half worm called "chasm-maker" that I managed to tame. I got a lot of nice interaction from it while grinding for Siesbarg. But a launch they made it untameable and soon after changed it to a vanilla worm. I'm still sad about it, I have no idea why they did this. It wasn't too crazy, waaaay less crazy than the ooze from wrath. Should have left it tameable. 😢

[@DAG4ROSH]

Man, I remember when Zumio posted that video. The number of hunters with demon pets was great 😂

[@Are_They_Wololoing]

Its so odd to me how mad blizzard gets when they see people having fun in their game

[@AllThingsNerdChannel]

Being a Hunter main all my WoW life, I never knew this existed back in Legion. 😅 Thanks for the info! Was a very fun watch :)

[@nebaka12]

Using the timing bug I tamed a ghostly wolf in EPL called The Lone Hunter that had a sword through its head. It was my favorite pet for a pretty long while but they fixed it so the sword was removed which was only humane I guess but it lost its unique look.

[@LunaTulpa]

here's an incredibly obscure one, but some info probably is out there on it: during cataclysm, i don't recall if it was a change during or was discovered during firelands, but in the barrens with a quest where you throw explosives at raptors i believe, if timed properly, you could have... literally just a burning fire model as a pet this is all from memory, and some details could be off, but it'd make for something interesting!

[@reiximus9799]

can you even call this an exploit? i mean, it was just visuals. no loot, no currency, no player power whatsoever involved. nobody got any advantage other then looking cool

[@morganfreeman5260]

that’s the whole problem, it’s free. Blizzard wants to make money on cosmetics

[@moscanaveia]

​@@morganfreeman5260 When have they ever monetised hunter or warlock pets in their store? That's a bad take

[@drinklewinkle]

I'm still peeved that I used to have the slime crocodile and then traded him up for when you could tame a worgen. Naturally blizzard made it so the Worgen appearance got reset but the slime would stay for anyone who had it. All these years later, I remember this mistake.

[@paleface171]

I remember this, I was running around with Hati as Thok the Bloodthirsty. EVERYONE knew I was coming. XD FWI There was a point if you used the orb on boss pets, hati would revert to the default size of the pet. So every now and then when you exited a dungeon with two Thoks, one was gigantic and made a racket of noise when he walked. I flew into one once. It was funny.

[@Corusful]

They really went out fo their way to fix this bug, however during the entire duration of Dragonflight and now into The War Within, the hunter's ability call dire beast STILL summons a Wotlk wolf, a vanilla tiger or un'goro crater dinosaur instead of a beast from the dragon islands...

[@Trash432]

6:40 that was also a bug in wrath, you could have a warlock sum level 78+ into ICC. I paid 20k gold for a run on my 79 twink rogue, 10k for the shirt 10k for the title. Right after I got both I sent blizz a ticket telling them about the bug and they hot fixed it like a day later. I didn't log on that rogue for a week I was so scared it would all be gone, but when I logged on I had my title and shirt. I was the 79 rogue twink on my server I had 100's of people asking me all day long how I got it. It was the coolest thing I ever owned in wow, I'm not sure how many people did it or if I'm the only one in the world with it. I quit back in MoP so I'm not sure how cool it would be now with what they did to levels over the years or if anyone would know I have the shirt and title when I shouldn't.

[@Cynidecia]

"You can only have our definition of fun."

[@Qrimsinn]

Maybe I somehow missed it in the video but there’s one thing I don’t understand though: so this was all just a cosmetic thing? Or did change the pet give it game breaking stats or effects? Did it cause a lot of technical issues on either player side or Blizzard side? I legitimately don’t understand the problem with this silly bit of fun hunters were having.

[@DukeofBlasphemy]

it's just a cosmetic thing. blizzard values the aesthetic of their classes, it's a core part of their identity. otherwise they may as well give us classes that can just do anything. some people would prefer that but there's games and private servers for that.

[@AlarikSkeldon]

​@@DukeofBlasphemyindeed, if you use a repack you can essentially do anything, like give a mage the ability to tame and use pets, ranged weapons, leather, mail, and even plate. They can even learn any spell that uses mana.

[@CIyphord]

Can't say for sure one way or the other but probably just like when ice mages could name their water elementals. And they took it out. Said it was a bug. Why? I loved it.

[@sanjayw9878]

Ive seen a lot of weird wow history videos but this one was great lol

[@Aztonio]

Hati is NOT just the Draenor worg. Yes is uses the same rig, but it's much more refined than a simple reskin, it's in fact the same as the Legion boss Fenryr, so already held in a higher standard (as he's literally giant). And you can notice its head is totally different (way better). Anf in fact more lore accurate... Because it's only a matter of design, but it seems each time Blizzard had SERIOUSLY added a wolf model, the shape of its teeth are supposed to show whether it's from Draenor or Azeroth, as it's either coming from the bottom jaw (like orcs) or the top (like trolls actually ! well most of the times in theory). Of course most quest designed never gave a fuck, and ever now that we spend years with at least 2 new wolf models both from Legion and BfA (Mag'har mount), those dumbasses still use the WoD wolf in every possible occasion. But if they were intelligent, you should know they have everything prepared to make things sensical ! (And not that freaking 10 years old grumpy wolf as the shoulders of Dragonflight shaman set COME ON)

[@DanielRenardAnimation]

It's been over a decade since I touched WoW, but as a BM Hunter, I must admit, that I did try a bunch of weird tames, like the Marticar in Zangarmarsh. I DID become tamable by the very next expansion, but that kind of lost its luster, since it was just 'allowed' officially, hence less fun. I tried on many different thing, juuust to see if I could. I was happy just getting my Skoll, the very second my level allowed me to.

[@dillonlongdavis3545]

[@189Blake]

Bugs can become features if done properly. Not every bug should be fixed just because, if it has an impact in how players interact with the game.

[@Rhordric]

My pupper hati actually did get reset. Was in a keystone and it bugged out and got set to the prowler model. Maybe because I kept the now prowler model wolf in the stable still.

[@daxtron2]

What I don't understand is why they felt it was necessary to disallow any form of weird pets. Like, it's still mechanically the same as normal right? It doesn't grant any advantage or disadvantage other players. It's just a cosmetic change.

[@cphtfluke7565]

[@wolfhowl983]

Didn't play a hunter beyond playing through the class order campaign... but seriously, why waste ressources with something that is this cosmetic, AND requires actual effort from the player, so it doesn't affect those not intending to be silly? Even on a RP server... the actual 'canon game' is so silly and has been it for years, it wouldn't actually have been immersion disrupting to see some hunter followed around by a demon or dwarf servant. This should just have been kept as it was, as a fun and unique activity for those that wanted to engage with it.
