The "truesilver" one has me more worried. The lack of any contrast makes it look matte blue and not even the least bit metallic.



Hopefully we can provide some feedback on these, and lobby to get the least-appropriate ones tweaked. I want to make up a side-by-side table to help us facilitate this but it'll have to wait until I'm done with new mount images (which are slow and painful... to give you an example I just produced 224 images for pterrodax mounts alone, because of all the colours, multiplied by the number of combos of configurable saddle/mask options ).

Now this is the weird part.



Currently, loading Karkin up in the WoWhead model viewer gives you this:


Which is not a proper truesilver update, but at least it has the appropriate eyecolor, whereas the model updates in the model viewer for the mobs with the old truesilver skin don't have that eyecolor, as in your picture.

Yeah, that is what Quiv pointed out. Probably just an error on Wowhead's part or possibly an indication that the model changes haven't been completed yet on Blizz's end.

Quiv wrote:Can do. It sounds like you need confirmation on each individual beast NPC, is that correct?

I'll probably make an Excel spreadsheet with old appearance (petopia image), assumed new appearance (petopia image), NPC name/ID, and wowhead/wowdb 3d model used. Will that work or is there something else you need?

I attached a crude example.

Wain wrote:No need to confirm every beast right now. Just a couple of checks on Wowhead, maybe, to confirm that the model has been updated for the old NPC. Thank you

It appears that they’re new colours of the existing model. There’s four new colours for the Zandalari baby raptor (the MoP one with the armour on it) too, but Wowhead didn’t report those. I’m hoping the new baby direhorn skins is a precursor to new adult direhorn colours too.
