Hunter's Plight (Animated Short)

[@cobalt968]

The Ethics Gorilla is always watching.

[@ComeToTheFeastOfWar]

No one's mentioned it yet, but surely it's a nod to the novel Ishmael?

Got to love that gorilla's moral compass 🧭.. seriously thought I was the only 1 bothered by feeding my pet their own meat 🍖.. it's cannibalism lol had this same issue with my Westfalls Coyote 🤢😅

[@pharazongifs]

The gnomes are better saved to add an extra kick in the celebratory after-fight chili-fries. 🌶🍟

[@charlayned]

Now wait just a Xal'atath minute, gnomes are NOT to be fed to tigers...or gorillas. We provide a useful function in society. Who is going to engineer (or unengineer, in the case of goblin technology) your stuff to get you down, up, through, or under that door? Want to try to squeeze a 850 pound, seven foot forever Tauren through that keyhole size slot? Appreciate us, or you can be thrown (by the catapult that we can make that you need us to make) over the wall to the bad guys.

They really are the best. I think one of the only foods they won't eat are eggs.

@@Vhailor_Mithras Ironic since pigs are well known for gobbling up eggs and nests if they can get to them but I guess there are limits to WoW's food system.

+ they have charge

[@ObservingLibertarian]

Yep, I quite legitimately got stuck questing some place where none of the vendors, including the inn keeper sold meat or fish. That was when I did some research on what hunter pets eat what and found that Boars and Bears will eat almost anything, but - boars have charge - making boars the best pets.

[@JamesOfToya]

You made the most out of those 5 polygons in their faces. Major kudos animating this so vividly.

[@desmondaurelius1431]

Top tier, this channel is criminally underrated. From the table, the menu, the hourglass, the panicked bag check, and the final moral dilemma, this is very hilarious. I love how oozing with personality every character is with the expressions and sound design.

[@imadork123]

This one was REALLY funny, loved all of the comedic details!

[@KyleAlexJohn]

This is why they needed a "Consume Corpse" ability like the undead have. Literally surrounded by meat but the pet refuses unless it is properly butchered.

[@Whytho2000]

A mechanic that I completely forgot about. I took feeding my pets so seriously lol. I would try to over feed them. I needed that green smiley face.

[@kuronanestimare]

Happiness actually increased their damage way back when, so overfeeding was perfectly viable.

[@l337pwnage]

I'm surprised I never ran across an addon to track the pet happiness meter. Maybe it was just untrackable.

[@Whytho2000]

@@l337pwnage not sure if one was needed, the face was on the pets nameplate like a permanent buff, there might be metadata that could be pulled for an alert telling you its going to go down a level, but it was just happy medium and angry. Plus i dont think addons were that devoloped back then. I dont think its really needed since it was already on the screen next to the pet.

[@l337pwnage]

@@Whytho2000 I mean for the tryhards that want to min-max everything. I guess overfeeding is just a workaround, and it's not like food is that expensive. True there were probably not a lot of addons early on for anything. I know I played for a long time before I even knew what an addon was, lol. I never got too worried about pets once I had loyalty maxed. I would panic a bit when I'd tame a new pet and it didn't like the food I brought, so I'd have to quick look up what it needs, lol. If I had random food I'd often just feed the pet rather than vendor it, cuz, why not.

Your animations are short but amazing. Sense of humour, great sound effects - you are inspiring Gorak!

[@jasonjohns8832]

Omg that was fucking amazing! 😂 This is literally the key component that prevented me from playing a hunter in classic. Of course I also hated managing bag space for arrows and sucked at managing pet attacks, but the idea of sending my pet into battle with a sadface like some sort of indentured servant killed me.

[@mattwo7]

Having to feed your pet was annoying sure but it did give you a feeling of a bond with your pet. Plus unlike v-pets such as tamagochi and digimon (Vital Bracelet notwithstanding, unlike the TamaSmart, you can't even feed your digimon in VB. I want to give Guilmon his Guimon Bread and Gammamon his "champion" chocobars darn it), you don't have to clean up your pet's droppings. Also remember classic hunters: If you can't find the right food in your bags, dismiss your hungry pet until you find some. Also be sure to level fishing if your pet eats fish.

[@Limrasson]

Bonding mechanics in your pet-game is important, I think.
