1.) Taming Now Harder
Did the Devs actually test this first? I have a team right now and we are actually coming down the White Bear mountain and it is just ridiculous. You have to spam Tame over and over to finally tame the Bear. If you fail enough times it runs away and actually fully recovers it's hp. It actually takes quite a while. It never took this long before. And it doesn't make sense if i have maxed lores and everything I can possibly get for there to be a fail chance percentage so high. This also seems to happen with Taur dogs as well, and presumably all Pets. Where they will take a long time of spam taming before it actually works. (Imagine doing that to a Dragon or Troll and then tame doesn't work and then you die because it one shots you, it's not your fault tame didn't work but you got shafted anyway) (It's worth pointing out the White Bear used to run a certain path and then come back, enabling easier taming even when failing... But the Devs took that out as well, the Bear just runs all over the place now, and you have to run after it so good luck fat mages)
2.) Terrain Issues, Follow Command Issues, Log Spawn Issues that need badly reversed.
As if that isn't a pain in the ass already, once you tame the White Bear you have to then lure it down the mountain with uneven Terrain and Spam Follow Command. The Bear will stop following, it will then just be stuck, if you already walked a distance down the mountain or fell a little ways, there is no way to go another way to try to trick the bear to follow you. If the Terrain isn't completely even the Bear just sits there. So you have to log off and wait for the damn timer that takes about 2minutes, then you log back in to spawn it to you. This trick used to work to get it off the mountain in it's entirety, this is no longer the case, they made changes to make it so you can't log spawn your pet over great distances anymore. So once your bear gets stuck you have to log spawn it, but it can only be done short distances, this results in you having to do this repeatedly... Honestly the experience is horrible. It is akin to watching Paint Dry. At any point if you make a wrong move and fall off the damn mountain your bear can be stuck indefinitely making your entire trip and all the time put into it wasted! In addition if you forgot to tell your Bear to stay, and told it to follow you instead as you log out. Then the Bear will not spawn to you, so your bear could be stuck 50 feet above you on a mountain that way as well, in this case there is no way of rescuing the bear, unless you can somehow get to the top of the mountain again and somehow be within the short enough distance to spawn it above you, even though it is stuck down below... This is because once again you can't log spawn the pet over long distances. So unless you are right next to it, then Tough titties. Now once you get it down a certain distance the rest of the way is Flatter terrain and as long as you aren't ganked you finally have your damn white bear. If you do get ganked, then repeat trip up said Mountain and let's see how many times that is enjoyable to you.
3.) As well as a 3 hour Respawn Rate Wtf is this? Seriously.
Oh Wait, I forgot to mention the Spawn timer went from 30minutes to 3 hours. So funny enough for those of you who haven't read this you will go back up the mountain and wait for hours. This is even worse if at any point, any other team of tamers gets the Bear before your team logs on. You have no idea when it was last killed or tamed, and could be waiting there for 3 hours even with said knowledge. Once Release happens with populations increase, you could be waiting a very long time, or just have to get lucky to get a White Bear because of this timer. To Further emphasize what a pain in the ass this whole experience is, there isn't a safe place to kill the bear anymore either, they removed the Rock near the entrance to the cave as well as the ledge to jump on above it. So you pretty much need a team of 3 people, 2 mages to heal and 1 person to tank. Now once you have your white bear you have to of course level to max level which will take a while to do. Compare this to a MA which takes 10 seconds to tame a Horse and fully counters Beast Masters and then complain to me about balance.
4.) Buff Foot Fighters.
I just don't understand why Foot fighters can't get a Huge buff. Making our job harder as Tamers isn't fixing FF as the weakest Class in game. This is a very poor example of Class balancing, literally making our job harder as tamers does nothing to balance us vs FF. One way or another I'll get another pet, and another one, and another one. And the result of a Battle between me and a FF will remain the same, I will win every single time. The reality is simple, the design of the game makes Beast Masters win against Foot Fighters. Therefore trying to make Pets be balanced against FF is like trying to put someone's Vomit into a Dish to impress Gordan Ramsay it just doesn't work. You need to Buff Foot Fighters.
Bear in mind, a White Bear is a Slightly better Brown Bear. It is just bear-ly better. Like 10% better. But now 100x harder to get lmao.
5.) Side Note, Guards went full retard again
They don't serve their purpose not even in the bank when they are right next to you. Only the Lictors seem to operate the rest of the guards seem like their Ai only functions 10% of the time. Except those outside guards are always on point, but those guards in banks never work for some reason.
