Exactly. Blizz won't give out any hints, even if months or years pass. And the sad thing is, if something is bugged, we have no way of knowing and Blizz won't usually check unless strongly pressured.

Anyone know what this is from? A class campaign? Quest?

http://ptr.wowhead.com/npc=121276/forgo ... iewer:10+0

Really interested in it; reminds me a lot of Elisande or someone else before they became Nightborne... Or I'm just grasping at straws and hoping Lalathin is like Gara with something more interesting than stealth.

It is involved with the Tomb of Sargeras, particularly the Sisters of Elune section of the raid.

Elisande looked almost exactly the same ten thousand years ago as she does now. The main differences is a slight change in skin color and runic tattoos.

Is there somewhere to see that? Just curious cause Thalyssra's story (when she tells you about Siramar shutting itself off from the world) shows most of them looking just like regular Night Elves. I know the Highborne looked different though. I'm just wondering if there's some pre-nightwell dependence image of Elisande :o

Sorry for off topic question. Genuine curiosity pokes me lol

I recall seeing one a while back. I'll see if I can find it.

But yes, the Highborne did look different from normal Kaldorei. Usually white hair and lighter hues of purple for their skin. As seen in that cinematic you're refering to, the main changes that Thalyssra undergoes are skin color, hair color, and arcane runes.

Also, in regards to an Echo (the npc linked, they are shades of an individuals soul. One notable place they have been seen is in the End Time dungeon.

Ah ok, thanks :D

And more on topic and in case I missed it (sorry). Muffinus hinted there were changes coming to wolfhawk animation regarding idling and sounds. Were they reflected in this build? Haven't been on my pc to check ptr myself.

You bet :D

They were. Wolfhawks now use their ground animations when moving and idle. They briefly fly when in combat (their combat animations only work when flying). However, they aren't very fluid yet. They'll suddenly starting fly and perform an attack, then be back on all fours. Needs to be smoothed out.

Oh that's good, hopefully it gets smoothed out but I like that mix of animations. I'll definitely be getting mine asap on Live. Worth the grind lol

I don't think anyone replied to this. The macro I use is:

Code: Select all

/run print("Target NPC ID:", strmatch(UnitGUID("target"),"-(%d*)-%x*$"))

The one I was using was old and making my game client angry but this worked like a charm. Thank you sir. Bless you sir.

Really hope Wolfhawks and Wyverns get their ankles fixed. Just look at them in flight, it's terrifying.

Happy about the green wyvern! That's the one I prefer most as a mount, and I think it would be great with my UD hunter Freida!

I swear it gets worse every year. It's like some old, unrelated piece of code from two expansions back being broken by the addition of something new. That foot gets a liiiittle more twisted, a liiiittle more warped. I remember it being normal back in BC when I had to take flight paths everywhere, then in Wrath it looked a little off. And now...

The Wyvern skeleton as a whole is really a mess 8( I did a big analysis of it at one point after I got the MoP wyvern mounts, and saw how abysmally the poor things are rigged- I'm still excited to get a wolfhawk, but their broken ankles are not something I'm going to stare too hard at.

Do they at least look nice running around? The grand wyverns have hideously broken arms, I hope their lupine cousins are a little better off.

In my opinion, they do. But Blizz does need to do something about their ankles.

Do we still have to get our class hall mount just to tame these new pets even on the PTR because I am having a hard time with the scenario and just want to play around with a gryphon?
