- previously smaller / larger wasps now all a default size. See this thread.
- previously-tamed old colour-changing pets are no longer changing colours. See this thread.
- Red spirit porcupines are appearing with green (and blue?) fire instead of their proper fire colour. See this thread. Affects minipets too.

On top of that, upon calling it there is a very brief (and hard to screencap) starfall effect complete with a faint whooshing sound
Lastly, I don't own a vengeful porcupette but looking at it in the pet journal reveals that it, too, still has blue-green smoke

That's normal, all spirit beasts do that, it's their Mastery buff being applied.Varethyn wrote:On top of that, upon calling it there is a very brief (and hard to screencap) starfall effect complete with a faint whooshing sound

Re: Pet appearance bugs, 6.0
I copied over my third hunter who has the spiny, color changing raptor from the Goblin Starting area. He's still stuck as black . (Very upset because I paid for a race change just so I could have this pet and still be a blood elf)
I don't have any wasps or the Spirit Beast Porcupine. However, the companion pet still has the green/blue aura in the middle of it. Picture:
Probably safe to assume the regular pet and the wasps are still broken.

Re: Pet appearance bugs, 6.0
What -isn't- fixed is the tendency for newly tamed pets to be un-renameable. If you just tame something, a good portion of the time it will return 'that name has invalid characters' when you try to rename it, even if it absolutely does not. You have to dismiss and resummon it and then the rename will work. It's not, you know, the end of the world or anything, but it really does get annoying after awhile.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket
Re: Pet appearance bugs, 6.0
I believe there were no more wild tameable color changers once the hotfix to how trick tames went in, which was sometime mid cata. Since then, pets tamed before that time period would color change and remained that way all through the rest of Cata and the entirety of MoP. We were sure they were grandfathered in like so many other interesting pets had been along the way. That was 'fixed'/'broken' when 6.0 rolled around. We've gotten no word if this was an intentional thing or not, so I just drop updates in when patches roll around.

Re: Pet appearance bugs, 6.0
If they're dropping "unnecessary" attributes it's likely that these pets may also be "cleaned up".

Re: Pet appearance bugs, 6.0
That one's normal. You must have tamed him in Uldum before that colorchanger got fixed. Your boy got grandfathered out of the fix. My Jason's the same way. It's a feature of having tamed that particular hyena.Rawr wrote:I just noticed my Hyena color changer isnt the same color as his pic in the stables. He is either white or yellow but the pic is orange, weird.
