The tamable Fenryr in World of Warcraft is causing problems. Some players have received him “incorrectly” – but Blizzard shows mercy.
Hunters in World of Warcraft are always looking for a very special companion that makes them stand out from the crowd of hunter players. With patch 7.2 “The Tomb of Sargeras,” some new wildlife was implemented in the game that hunters can tame. One of them is Fenryr, an instance boss from the Hall of Valor.
Many players already discovered that Fenryr was tamable in the first days and made the beast their own. This was possible on the mythic difficulty. A dungeon group cleared the entire instance, and the hunter then reset it, causing Fenryr to appear again. Taming thus became child’s play, and many players now roam with the noble wolf as their pet.
Instance reset for Fenryr was a bug
But that was not the plan from Blizzard. The actual challenge was to have hunters complete the instance on mythic solo all the way to Fenryr. However, the bug has since been fixed.
Since players could not foresee that this was a bug, Blizzard decided not to take Fenryr away from the corresponding characters. However, those who want to tame him now must fight their way to Fenryr’s den – only with a pet of their choice – and can then impose their will on him there. Blizzard stated in the official forum:
“To clarify: The soft reset was a bug that has now been fixed, and the intended method for taming Fenryr is a solo challenge. It would be unfair to take Fenryr away from those players who already have him, especially since the early tamers could not know that this method was not intended.”
No one has committed a crime regarding bug using, even if it was a bug – everyone can keep their Fenryr without bad conscience.
WoW is also considering other graphic improvements. Flowing capes would be one possibility.
