Silithid Swarmer = Silithid Worker Model?

[Darknez]

I know the blue Silithid Creeper/Swarmer skins don't appear to have been found yet.

However... I just used Cata.WoWhead to look at the 3D models of each.
The Creeper looks as you'd expect it. The Swarmer however looks like a tan Silithid worker? (AurokkSkinTan)

Very strange! Anyone tamed a Silithid Swarmer on live and copied it across to beta to see what it looks like?
If not, I may just try and find out...

[Qraljar]

*Holds hands to his head* Nooooooooooo! Not another Haarka/Soriid story! Nooo D;>..

I am not even gonna wish this time, those brainbugs getting removed broke my hopes, don't make me fall in love with another possible unintended pet. That's just cruel ;'(

[Darknez]

Unfortunately I can't test it either way. I deleted a hunter that I'd already copied, but it won't let me re-copy it again.
Only option is to level a new hunter to test it, but I really don't feel like it at the moment

[Darknez]

Now that I remember... the new quests in Southern Barrens include burning Silithid mounds, which releases a "swarm" of untameable Silithid Swarmer's after you.
These are the same model that cata.wowhead.com is showing.

Same name, possibly same ID - but different stats.

I'd so totally squeeee if Blizzard gave use these as pets, it would be a good start to making up for Mr. Tickling.. he was so young! : (

Joke. Ofcourse Blizz needn't make up for their choices, but really. Silithids deserve more love.

1 skin. WAT.

[Darknez]

The other concern is that we haven't found the blue scorpid skin anywhere else - that means only people with the Scorpid Creeper would keep the blue skin once Cataclysm hits (assuming the Silithid Swarmer has changed).

[Qraljar]

Damn, I feel selfish for saying this, but imo New Silithid Skin > Other color scorpid tbh imo.. though. I am sure Blizz will add new !

God, daaaamn. I am gonna get flamed for this.

.. I think I just got a little bit turned on..

[Darknez]

Oh.. I am dense! Just as I was about to create a new troll hunter and get it to 21/22 quickly to tame and test - I remember I have a 3rd hunter that I've not copied yet!

Will tame and test shortly and let you know soon.

Hmm nice models, I assume they are in Uldum or the instance in Uldum?

Yep. Uldum. They are called Uldumscarabteal and Uldumscarabtan. I swear, if Blizz makes those tamable. I will love Blizz FOR-EVER. And yay! I love you too for looking for us! But even if it does change.. Blizz will probably remove it. Sorry for being a pessimist, but my hopes are well.. slightly crushed..

[Vephriel]

Those are gorgeous scarab models! Wow. =O

I still see no reason not to add a little variety to the Silithid family. 4 skins is dull (and I know there's many other pet families that suffer from this as well). Look at some families like cats, wolves, spiders....each one has a whole bunch of different models. Blizzard could definitely add a few scarab/worker types into the Silithid family. Would liven it up a bit.

Yes. ^ this, this word is law. Blizz, listen. LISTEN D:

[Darknez]

Yeah they do look really cool skins - a few other species need that kind of love!
Right.. tamed Swarmer on my 3rd hunter. Copy pending...

Update:
Argh... Failed again. Even though it says I have 5 copies remaining I am being prevented to copy any more
Sorry, I can't do anything to test this theory

[Qraljar]

..Delete.. other copies..! *Hypnotoad eyes*

[Darknez]

I've already tried that
Even if I delete one I already copied (which was my second hunter) I can't re-copy it or any other character.

[bluddy]

i'll try it i'm not allowed to play but this...this....NEEDS to be tested! i'll play secretely no noise they are all watching football anyways

[Darknez]

I'm not one to be defeated...
I'm testing it on my partners account! (assuming it lets me copy that)

- Unless you beat me to it

[bluddy]

no way i'm going to beat yu. i need to go tame it first

[Qraljar]

Guys.. or gals. I love you both.. but I am a guy though.. Let's call it bromance?

I'll settle for that.

[bluddy]

darknez wins seems i got to update a in beta lol

edit updated but can't start eta because of an error DAMN!!!!

[Darknez]

bluddy, if you're having errors after updating try deleting the CACHE folders (theres on in \World of Warcraft Beta\ and one in \World of Warcraft Beta\Data\). That fixes a lot of crashes that happened since patching.

I guess they changed a lot of things that meant the previous build cache was "corrupt".
