Re: Updated Tameable Beast Image Comparisons
I don't mean to sound so salty it's just getting really frustrating to me that they don't even seem to bother trying to uphold the appearance and colours of the originals. I haven't kept a lot of beetles over the course of my WoW time, but the blue scarab and the black and white one were my two favourites. The new scarab lacks that pretty blue colour the first one had, the indigo is dulled down to something closer to grey, and the black and white one, well, isn't even black anymore.

Re: Updated Tameable Beast Image Comparisons
I'm right here with you- a gorgeous update model wise, and on their own the skins are quite nice, but- what... happened to them? The black and white was my absolute favorite and I used one frequently, but it looks so desaturated and foggy now there's no point in keeping him- all the appeal of the old skin is gone. :/Vephriel wrote:Wow, the new models are really gorgeous, I love the look of them. Much better details, good faces, more great attention to the undersides. But yet again, and I'm starting to feel like a broken record here, I wish the artists could like...actually look at the thing they're revamping and pay attention to colour choice.

Re: Updated Tameable Beast Image Comparisons
I'd love this too, but my hopes aren't very high considering the models have always had that. I'd like to see the eagle model's broken leg fixed too, but...mmm. Not sure if they'll go back for small things like that. :/Qraljar wrote:It seems the legs on the mine spider model got fixed. That's good.
Now I just need the tarantula to have its chelicerae fixed in the idle animation.

Re: Updated Tameable Beast Image Comparisons
Well......
Huh..........
I guess as stand alones, they would be amazingly, awesomely incredible. As replacements, however. Dear god. Blizz, please. You have wonderful artists; that is obvious. But perhaps they could look at what they are supposed to be updating and make it look a bit more like that.
I adored the green and red one. Seeing it changed to that does not make me happy. It looks like a project car with an amateur paint job.

Re: Updated Tameable Beast Image Comparisons
Pretty much how I feel too. I think the base model is an honest update, but those paint jobs... the colors don't look at all similar and those markings aren't even close. As Equeon said (and someone else earlier, sorry didn't see name), if these were standalone models or even like 'hey new scarabs but they've been painted by Zandalari or Blood trolls!' then I'd forgive the markings even. But replacements....?Equeon wrote:Yeah, as standalones I'd be thrilled. But you can't look at those and call them honest replacements for "red and green" or "black and white" scarabs.
Makes me just as displeased as the whole Karkin crab issue. But maybe even worse, because sorry, those replacements are not even in the ballpark of the original scarabs.

Re: Updated Tameable Beast Image Comparisons
At least these new models have at least succeeded in re-sparking my interests in older families. I will def go get a demon dog, since I always loved them but the old model got to me. However, I wish they kept their original animation. Their little hops used to always making me smile
Also maybe some of these color change bummers are blessings in disguise--I can clear my stables easier
