Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
It looks fantastic, and it makes a really eye-catching pair with the Bloodfang Widow (2 million gold) mount from legion: https://warcraftmounts.com/mounts/bloodfangwidow.php
Also, I'm showcasing the new, VERY-purple Draenei skin!

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Also this sounds a little frustrating, as someone who takes a lot of screenshots with my pets. It's a good behaviour in concept, but I can see it interfering with the posing I tend to do. I guess I'll be relying on Narcissus even more in the future.Wain wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 1:35 pm Also, it's a bit frustrating trying to get good pics of your hunter with your pet in SL, because the pet is coded to turn its head towards you when you're close. You have to freeze it in position and move far enough away that it stops doing that, or it can look a bit weird and sometimes distorted (e.g. when spiders turn their heads, their fangs don't move with the head!).

Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Oh, I meant the screenshots I normally take have my character posing close right beside the pet, it'll be a little annoying for those.WerebearGuy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 3:33 pm If the pets' head tracking is a hassle, why not use the Move To command and step away from the pet while using Eagle Eye? This combination is spectacular for getting screenshots of models.
Re: Shadowlands Alpha/Beta Beast Thread
Yeah, it’s only when you want a pic of your hunter with the pet that there’s more of an issue. You don’t have to move *too* far, but it’s still more awkward.Vephriel wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 4:16 pmOh, I meant the screenshots I normally take have my character posing close right beside the pet, it'll be a little annoying for those.WerebearGuy wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 3:33 pm If the pets' head tracking is a hassle, why not use the Move To command and step away from the pet while using Eagle Eye?

The pic with the spider mount was also difficult because Move To breaks once you mount, and the spider mount is so big the pet ends up under it

Firstly, tameable Mawrats!
There's one tameable mawrat NPC, in just the one teal-grey colour, but it's a start As expected, it's a Rodent. It seems to use wolf animations/skeleton.
The second new look is a lighter colour of soul seeker than the one that was tameable in the SL starting phase:
For reference, the previous one is very dark in bright light:
The Maw is still pretty unpopulated, so it clearly isn't finished yet (unless something went on with my phasing because I hadn't done all the leadi-in quests). But it means there's a good chance that there'll be more fun things to tame by launch! Hopefully we'll see more colours of mawrat (there are three others and they're all prtty nice: https://www.wow-petopia.com/shadowlands ... od_mawrats ) and the last colour of soulseeker (grey: https://www.wow-petopia.com/look.php?id ... hound_gray ). I'd also love for shade beasts to be tameable, but the only ones I've encountered so far have been classed as either undead or demons.

Also now I'm curious how the head turn behaviour will behave when using it.
