    Bite your tongue, we want a good safe launch tonight. BRK have you talked about what you do at the cape? Don’t recall, but interested.

  2. Carnage on March 11th, 2009 8:48 am

    How exciting, however i was hoping future spirit beasts would come in a variety of forms. ie: wolf, raptor, wasp etc

  3. WB on March 11th, 2009 8:55 am

    Nice title. Exact and to the point, but perfectly in keeping with your…. /cringe… raspberry fetish.

    I’m going to struggle with keeping my alternate spec for PVP, not making it a BM tree in order to tame one of these cool beasts.

  4. RJK on March 11th, 2009 9:00 am

    OMGosh!! Ahhhhhhhh! Not another…../FD backwards…

  5. Dalaila on March 11th, 2009 9:06 am

    Just went back to the spot to tame it and a horde player was dancing on the carcass of Gondria. I love the fact I am on PTR and not on Live … :-P . I’d like to know what does that cat drop.

  6. Araevin on March 11th, 2009 9:10 am

    I already have 2 spirit beast (for the archievement ;P ) but I spend weeks searching for it , and now we get another one.

    Thank you Blizzard for stealing more of my sleep. ;)

  7. Shagrat on March 11th, 2009 9:10 am

    /sigh

    It’s nice and all but does it have to be another cat? Seriously?

  8. Quasi on March 11th, 2009 9:12 am

    Oh lord.
    I hope this one is as difficult to tame as loque. I felt unique after putting myself through the 40+ hour agony of taming loque, walking around IF, and /dancing in front of the elitist jerk hunters in godly gear. If every hunter in the game suddenly had one, it would be like S1 arena gear for honor, all over again :(

    All i’m saying is, for me the appeal of loque wasn’t the how cool she was “btw she is awesome”, but rather how hard she was to find.

  9. Tatigiik on March 11th, 2009 9:12 am

    Would be fun if Blizz would make at least some kind of spirit beast for each pet talent tree… Would love to have some kind of spirit scorpid.

    And argh…. I just got Loque last week, and now there will be another to search for…..

  10. RocknOats on March 11th, 2009 9:16 am

    I’m at work and can’t browse to Wowhead! Where does it spawn? I like the look of this one better than Loque’s. No offense, but I thought she looked a little malnourished.

  11. Alphakhan on March 11th, 2009 9:26 am

    It spawns in Zul’drak on 63,42.

    Jesus he looks awesome.

  12. Skrum on March 11th, 2009 9:33 am

    I allready tamed it…
    So if you can’t find it on the ptr BRK i could let you use my ptr account to make a movie…

  13. Skrum on March 11th, 2009 9:37 am

    btw: it’s a spirit beast for sure because when i tamed it it’s name was: spiritbeast.

  14. Dalaila on March 11th, 2009 9:37 am

    @ Shagrat

    > It’s nice and all but does it

    > Seriously?

    Well it adds more variety and Spirit Beasts seem to be cat-lice creatures. Anyway much better another cat than another Yogi-like dino come on :-D

  15. Suicidal Zebra on March 11th, 2009 9:43 am

    WTB Ghost-Raptor or Ghost-Doggie :(

  16. Dobmeister on March 11th, 2009 9:49 am

    Wow, so I can get the Spirit Beast version of my prime companion a Rak’shiri Frostsaber? Awesome.

  17. TheJokkerOfLightbringer on March 11th, 2009 9:52 am

  18. Armond on March 11th, 2009 9:58 am

    From all the hunters out there: HOLY {expletive}!

    From all the rest of us out there: HOLY {expletive}!

  19. BRK on March 11th, 2009 9:59 am

    So if you can’t find it on the ptr BRK i could let you use my ptr account to make a movie…

    Send us an email and let’s talk.

  20. Armond on March 11th, 2009 10:00 am

    This was supposed to be an edit to my previous post.

    From everyone who just realized it might prowl automatically before you tame it: HOLY {expletive}!

  21. kunukia on March 11th, 2009 10:07 am

    Oooh, now my second hunter, who just hit 77, can get a different look! Very nice!

    I have 8 hunters on Silver Hand, one of each race (and two Dwarfs), so more than one spirit beast is welcome. Still, Loque’nahak was and is the first amazing prize, and the thrill of getting him will not be easily matched. You can’t go back!

  22. Sevei - Anachronos EU on March 11th, 2009 10:08 am

    While this guy DOES look badass I still think Loque’nahak and the Cursed Spawn of Harkkoa looker better. Also, why are cat(like) pets getting all the new shiny love? Lets have some Wolf, Dragonhawk and Crab love! :P

  23. Dalaila on March 11th, 2009 10:17 am

    @ kunukia

    > I have 8 hunters
    > on Silver Hand

    EIGHT hunters?????? Damn, what for? Don’t you get bored of doing the same thing 8 times? :)

  24. Skrum on March 11th, 2009 10:32 am

    I’ve just contacted you BRK

  25. Alphakhan on March 11th, 2009 10:32 am

    @ Skrum

    Where did you tame it? On the same spot as indicated on the map?

  26. Dalaila on March 11th, 2009 10:39 am

    @ Alphakhan

    Yes I was there when he tamed the mob. I was writing on the forums and so I bet you have to wait for a new respawn (and see if it happens to be the same spot!).

  27. Skrum on March 11th, 2009 10:45 am

    @ Alphakhan

    Like Dalaila said, that’s were i tamed it, she actually stil was there.
    But it’s best that I tamed it cuz she wanted to check his loot :p

  28. Elwisp on March 11th, 2009 10:48 am

    Is it just on the PTR now, or can it be found live….?

  29. Alphakhan on March 11th, 2009 10:51 am

    @ Elwisp

    One would assume its only on PTR

    I’m furiously flying around Zul’drak looking for possible spawn points, spamming a /tar Gondria macro as we speak…deja vu!

  30. Dalaila on March 11th, 2009 10:59 am

    @ Skrum ( but it’s best that I tamed it
    > cuz she wanted to check
    > his loot :p

    Hehehehehe indeed I came back to just kill the beast when BRK wrote me a mail and I went . Just int tame for you mate ;-)

    ARGH!!!!! I will never /tar any other pet lol.

  31. Stang on March 11th, 2009 11:28 am

    Well, Blizzard wins here. My Gravatar doesn’t seem to want to work today, I’ve just posted in BRK’s newest thread, but my email may be wrong. Seriously BRK, edit-system? =D

    On Topic: SPIRIT BEAST ZOMG! Time to go back to BM, then. Forego the numbers! Forego the meters! I love my pet!

  32. kunukia on March 11th, 2009 12:44 pm

    @Dalaila

    Well, since I love professions it is not EXACTLY the same 8 times. A skinner/LWer has different favorite farming spots than an herbalist/alchemist. Only my main hunter raids. Also since I have two accounts, I have all the other classes covered. I have a priest and druid at seventy, and am grooming the priest to raid.

    I have a lot of WoW time, since I am disabled. I love hunters. I looked at all the cool things folks have done, like leveling without weapons and such, and I thought, what would be cool for me to do? A hunter of every race at cap seems cool. No more insane than leveling without weapons, IMO.

  33. kunukia on March 11th, 2009 12:52 pm

    Jeez, priest and druid at 80!!! Sheesh.
    Wish I could edit.

  34. Grindurbonze on March 11th, 2009 1:02 pm

    Enough with the cats (and cat-like beasts), already. I have one, and I’d prefer to have zero.
    :P

  35. Dalaila on March 11th, 2009 1:06 pm

    @ kunukia

    Did not think about professions but still you got a lot of toons ;) . I admit I would love to have more than my main to make some experiments with other professions but I’m kind of “addicted” and “bound” to my Draenei huntress. Even my wife loves peeking at my screen when I’m playing Wow :) . Wha’s the best race for a hunter in your opinion (best in terms of visuals). I love the draenei female movements/stuff but sometimes I miss the huge stuff of other races/male models.

  36. kunukia on March 11th, 2009 1:25 pm

    Dalaila,
    I love the Dwarfs best. They are my favorite race in all ways. I just like the looks, emotes etc of the Dwarfs. Horde-side, I love Tauren, but Orcs are also cool.
    All ladies, because I am an older female in real life, and cannot seem to play a male.
    The NEs and Dreanai are my least favorite Ally races. Only my shaman is a Dreanai, and my druid a Nelf (other than the hunters) because they have to be. Otherwise, I have all the Dwarfs I can, three Gnomes and a token Human.

  37. Adam on March 11th, 2009 1:49 pm

    Smooth call on the scrub.

  38. Busket on March 11th, 2009 1:52 pm

    Way to jinx the launch BRK!

  39. Asara on March 11th, 2009 2:00 pm

    Oh man.
    Must get!
    My GSG would love the “spirit” company! XD Even if I did just get Loque a few days ago…

  40. Jeff on March 11th, 2009 2:11 pm

    Scrubed

  41. Abigayle on March 11th, 2009 2:43 pm

    Thanks for jinxing me, BRK. Fellow hunter here (and I only live 5 minutes away from you), but I was really looking forward to going out to the shuttle launch tonight. Night launches are awesome no matter how many times you see them.

    You think you could find it in your heart to NOT jinx it for tomorrow?

  42. Elwisp on March 11th, 2009 3:29 pm

    Well, at least waiting till the patch buys me time to decide, do I abandon my now untamabe “ghost” croc, Liberace, my adorible Rhino, Valentino, or my corehound Clifford? Blossom, my devilsaur, and Ed, Ed ‘N Eddy, the “ghost” hydra are keepers for sure…..Sigh if i could just have one more stable slot. Okay three more would really make me happy.

  43. stacey on March 11th, 2009 3:35 pm

    Damn you BRK, you jinxed the launch! ;)

  44. thebitterfig on March 11th, 2009 5:08 pm

    one can only hope that the next Spirit Beast is a wolfish one.

  45. Alastren on March 11th, 2009 5:12 pm

    /want….

  46. Nyctreinar on March 11th, 2009 5:30 pm

    Apparently, BRK has a gas leak problem. ;-)

  47. Mike on March 11th, 2009 5:50 pm

    If his spawn times aren’t ridiculous like the other one I’ll probably catch this one :P

  48. Mania’s Arcania » PTR 3.1 - Yes, There is a New Spirit Beast on March 11th, 2009 6:43 pm

    [...] no, I didn’t find him. :> BRK posted about Gondria early this morning (and gave me a head’s up around the same time), but I was deep asleep. It [...]

  49. banaoil on March 12th, 2009 1:11 am

    You’d think they’d put a ghostly looking crab in there somewhere…

  50. Toland on March 12th, 2009 1:33 am

    What is that addon?

    I remember using some Hunter Helper a while back but that got out of fashion with the new pet system…

  51. Fat Dino on March 12th, 2009 6:33 am

    Theres going to be a moral dilemma for BRK when the Spirit Sporebat arrives….to tame or not to tame!…

  52. Taegis on March 12th, 2009 2:42 pm

    the guy asked for help about the red text, you trashed his UI. Yeah that does make you a douchbag and anyone else who feels the need to comment on the UI.

    We should help each other as hunter’s.

    Glad to see you sucked this up and explained you were in the wrong. Still wasn’t nice to read however

  53. Kybelle on March 13th, 2009 10:16 pm

    Only time I was going to be in florida during a shuttle launch for years. (Which with the sunset date probably means ever) and you jinx it, BRK? I don’t think I like you anymore…. :P

  54. obeygiant on April 15th, 2009 7:06 am

    Woot got it as everyone was busy settling in w/ the new patch. 62,43
    15minutes before emergency maintainence!
