Does he even scale past 85/90? Pretty sure he's considered a lowbie at max level and you need to make a macro to stop attack after your Counter Shot since he still does the knockback, right?sasrei7 wrote:Hmm I hope they fix Karkin.. cause there is something wrong with him, see I can't 1 shot lvl 122 regularly like at all, yet when I used CS on him he was instantly killed.. I dont understand how I one shot him when I can never one shot any lvl 122 mob.. I could see if he was a low lvl like I can one shot a lvl 90 but he was lvl 122
(Edit: Guess he does! Had no idea he actually scaled past 90, which is max for that zone area. Odd he goes that high. Anywho, best bet would be to pack some drums, make the countershot/stop attack macro, pop drums, and tame. Should work just fine!)
Also, yeh, gonna agree...higher shoulders and bigger teeth would be nice if these are meant as the BIG Nightsabers. Also, it's really super simple to add stripes and spots once the base layer art/shading is complete. Don't panic just yet, this is still a raw build coming in so we might see more added as we go.
Edit 2: Also thinking about it and digging around some: The removal of the toggle for older models could have something to do with their port over to DX11. Although, the entire removal of it could be for a long list of reasons. It could have had something to do with the new animations they introduced. It could have been something on the back end dealing with all the model calls. Could have been something with skinning/rigging of the models in general or the armor sets. It could have even been a design decision for cohesiveness. It really could have been anything. Most people here likely have no insight on the matter, like myself, and thus why that wasn't something anyone wanted to tackle. It's hard to discuss it when you just don't know. Communication from Blizzard dealing with that removal would have been appropriate, however, we're in a spot right now where the Devs are having a hard time communicating with the playerbase.

It's actually not the counter shot itself. It's the one auto shot that happens when you click the counter. That's why it's better to make the stop attack macro that cancels attack after the counter shot!

Re: 8.1 Beasts
I doubt you are the only person who holds that opinion. I'm of the mind that the game should be built in such a way as to support the version of it that you prefer with the older models which likely actually uses far less computing power, and at the same time supporting the newer bells and whistles that newer technology affords them the opportunity to do. In an ideal world there would be a way to toggle this, but in that same world there would also be a maintained 32 bit version of the game as well. Maybe one day they will find a happy medium with the ability to toggle skins, but I doubt they will look at that option unless the game really starts to outpace the technology of a majority of the playerbase.peanutbuttercup wrote:A united front would be nice but it's not going to happen.

The upgrades going to happen. They need to happen.
I also don't see how it destroys someone else's playing experience by letting players toggle on old models if that's what they prefer (no one addressed this), as they had for a little while with character models.
Outside of the few models that were simply smoothed out versions of the old skin (i.e. snakes) none of the new skins have been an improvement. I've been perma-stabling old pets left and right or abandoning them outright. The new cats shown here I don't like, but obviously that's an opinion only I hold.

Re: 8.1 Beasts
At this point, I'd prefer nice updated models to coexist w/ or replace the old ones. (( Also I want more solid spirit beasts, the transparency effect is outdated and jank looking now. Like the gryphon. In some zones w/ saturated light, it just looks like blue flailing polygons)).

Re: 8.1 Beasts
Also, I'm in the "stay faithful to the originals" boat. Even in completely new models for new creatures, not at all intended to be a revamp or replacement, they could stand to make them look a little closer to older models in theme or style. Some of the most disappointing things in Legion for me was the new cats and wolves. They have pretty strong color on them, but... it's, like, one or two colors.
I'm all for the exaggerated, slightly cartoony style, but sometimes it gets out of hand. Something with cartoony, exaggerated or just implausible features can still look kinda serious, but then I look at the new abomination models, for example, and just can't take them seriously. They used to be scary and a little disturbing. Now, especially in some color palettes in particular, they look kinda... goofy. Their cleavers don't look like they could cut anything, their hooks look like cheap Halloween decorations or Hot Topic props, and some of the "blood"(?) stains look more like they tried to paint and turned out to be really clumsy and lousy at it. Seriously, some of the abominations have blood on their cleavers, but the blood is the same color as the stuff they're leaking. What? Are they just chopping themselves?
And then they went and slapped rattles on all of my wind serpents.

Re: 8.1 Beasts
What is it with Blizzard and white pets? Do they have some sort of prejudice against white pets? I loved my white flying snakey... but now, it looks like it's been out in the rain playing in puddles of mud.
A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
