Patch 4.2 Fire Land Spiders
New firelands spider?
Would've put this in the PTR forum but I guess I'm not cool enough to get a button. Anyway, this showed up in the new firelands preview. Don't know if it's tamable or not (it's raid trash so it probably hits like a train full of trucks anyway) but hey. It sure is shiny, innit...
You know, I have ALWAYS wished that the fire spiders in Searing Gorge and whatnot actually looked like they were on fire. They had these 'lava patches' but there wasn't any glow attached to them so they just looked painted on or something. Kind of sad really.
someday I'll find someplace to host a sig that isn't stupid money-grubbing photobucket

Re: Patch 4.2 Fire Land Spiders
I tend to take the "if I'm pessimistic, I might get positively surprised" approach to things, so I'm gonna go ahead and point out that they look elemental. Doesn't mean anything, of course *eyes shale spiders* but I'd rather get a positive surprise than get my hopes crushed.
Much gratitude to Spiritbinder for the signature and Vephriel for the avatar! <3

Exhibit B: Bone Spiders. If I were to see them in a preview, I would assume them to be Undead, and therefore untamable.Sarayana wrote:Ooooooooooooooh. Very nice!

BTW, there's already another thread on these fire spiders: http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11459

Re: New firelands spider?
if this is tameable it will be the one spider i will actually perhaps use rather then collect dust or get abandoned-- maybe, i need to see it in-game in its environment

I can't make out much detail, though. It could be a new one or could just be an old skin.

Re: New firelands spider?
Ooh! *squints* That definitely looks like a Madexx model to me. I'm like 99.9% sure. Hmm, wonder which colour they'll be using there, or if we might see a brand new one. Black seems like a good candidate to fit with the colour scheme.Wain wrote:There must also be scorpids in the Firelands, unless the one in this pic was just someone's dead pet:

Re: New firelands spider?
Forgive the messy composition of this collage, but I quickly went into WoW Model Viewer to take some screenshots of the two scorpid models.
Comparing them to an enlarged picture of the scorpid in that image, it's easy to differentiate the unique shape of the Madexx-style tail. The curl on the stinger, the sharp parts spiking out at each segment, and the overall shape of the body. Even from a tiny silhouette it's clear that it's the Madexx/Horde model.
Bleh, JPEG format made this even crappier looking, but hopefully it's still discernible. EDIT: Redid the image for better quality since it was bugging me. xD

Re: New firelands spider?
Please. Please. Please. Please. PLEASE be the black version. PLEASE be tameable... <beg>Jessibelle wrote:Looks like those who want the black madexx can just go there to get that bad boy. :3
Edit: Actually, now I'm thinking it -is- the black version, just because the stinger gets a bit brighter and sort of matches the red rock background, then turns dark at the tip, like black->red->blue. Of course, I could be seeing things.
