5.2's Pandas, Raptors, and Fishes

Post by Quintessence » February 3rd, 2013, 10:22 pm

Which ones are you looking forward to collecting the most? Try to pick one from each category! Internet high-five if you already have names planned out for them. :)

For visual reference: For the pandas, I can't wait to get the Sunfur or Snowy one. Raptors, the one with the golden head. And last but not least, the white or red carp. I'll be just as pleased to collect the others too, but those are the ones that caught my eye first. :P

Not sure I'm necessarily a fan of the fish. But the others, the snowy panda and the green raptor stand out to me.

I've been very haphazard in naming my pets, only if I'm inspired. And I haven't thought of any for these new ones.

My favorites are the brown panda, the Footslasher, and the Tiny Red Carp.

I guess the raptors would be what I am most looking forward to as I was hoping the panda's would been actual panda bears or pandarens. I like the fact they are doing more with pets, but if all they are going to do is release rehashes of existing pet skins each addon, I'd rather they not bother. I would of prefered 1 or 2 unique skinned pets that might be slightly harder to obtain than 3 pets with 4 color options that are just rehashes of the Bandicoon, Cogblade Raptor and Fishy.

For the panda's I'd like the regular red one the most. I just love that color of red :D. For the raptor and the fish, the blue ones are my fav. My favorite color is blue, so that's why, lol. I am looking forward to getting all of them, but those are definitely my favs :).

I want the raptors so badly. Any word on what type they will be? Just Beasts like most other Raptors?

I would assume since they look like the Cogblade Raptor and are made of metal they'd be Mechanical pets with similar abilities with hopefully 1 or 2 unique abilities based on their color.

I'm pretty sure they are flesh and blood raptors with the same armor as the raptor boss.

Last I checked, they are indeed in the Beasts family.

I gotta say for non-wild pets, i like the pandas and fish the best. I've been disapointed in the lack of creativity of Aquatic pets since pet battling launched, almost all of them are some kind of frog, crab, or turtle.

However, I am most looking forward to the new frog model and the two elemental wild pets on the Thunder Isle

The pandas actually don't look anything like the bandicoons, nor do the new raptors look like the Cogblade. Body shape is similar, but the heads and skins are totally new.

I am most looking forward to the pandas. I thought about buying an original collector's edition when WoW first came out, but I didn't have a computer at the time and couldn't justify spending the money.

I have a hard time doing anything other than pet battles in game, and now there's even more pets to catch and level up, and more trainers to battle ... I love to play my alts but I wonder if they'll even reach 90.

I heard player XP is being added as well to pet battles, so there is hope!

Mmm, has anyone any idea in what quality does the carps come as? Wondering do I want to stash few Aquatic stones for them or not.
