New windrider?

Unread post by azurelith »

I made a premade character on the ptr to test some things out and went to take a taxi and then i noticed the wyverns sitting on the posts seem to have changed colors. When i get on the taxi, i see that you actually fly on this new wyvern. Could this be a new skin? The wings on the model seem unfinished.

The model still seems kind of....rough.
I really do wish they'd update the entire thing...

But yes! I've never seen that before!
Maybe it's an update on the "blue" Wind Rider? Try mounting an actual one?

Yes i agree with you on that. I wish they would update them.
I tried mounting on the normal mounts and they are the same as they were before. Nothing has changed about them. It only affects the taxi wyverns.

I saw this as well and what it looks like to me is a corporeal version of the spectral wind rider. And this part may not be accurate, but I figured maybe the wings were messed up because thats the area where the spectral wing riders wings start to fade.

It has to be a bug, and I suspect Cookie (can I call you Cookie?) is correct. It's not just the mounts, the wild wyverns in Stonetalon had the same graphics bug.

As a note, Sorrow Wing isn't changed in color. So apparently it's just that one specific model/shade that's being adjusted. Sorrow Wing is still big, grey, and... well... normal in the wings.
