Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
What skeleton does the new wolf use? The actual wolf rig (i.e. this: http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/wolfskinblack.html) or the terrible worg one with the gimpy legs and the static pose (this one: http://www.wow-petopia.com/look/direwol ... brown.html)?

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
Neither, I don't think. It's a totally new wolf model last I heard.Horohoro wrote:What skeleton does the new wolf use?

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
Looking at the OP, a few last notes..
There were at least 3 color variants of the wolf, maybe 4. Including a very dark grey.
4 color variants of the boars, 3 in the tan/grey/lightgrey variations, and one "frost" version that had some icyness to it.
There were talbuks running around ally starting area as well, I believe all existing colors, hard to confirm with lighting conditions. A few crocs running around, seemed to be existing skins. There was also a few foxes, wasps were the simple yellow ones (the ones currently in Loch Modan.
Horde starting zone had only the boars and wolves.
Ok... can't think of anything else...
Tried to get out of the starting zones, didn't work, and I don't think they would have been happy with me scoping the other zones out with other techniques... ;D

Didn't have a chance to try it.. they were watching quite a bit. Most of the people were doing the one dungeon. But a few were exploring like I was.SpiritBinder wrote:Eagle eye maybe?

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
From what I've seen (there was a short clip somewhere showing one walking) they're currently using the traditional worg skeleton but I really hope that changes (come on blizzard if you can make them run properly in the trailer you can make them run properly in game I believe in you <_<). Some real fun news is that they'll have brand new wolf sounds!

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
Replaced the boar image with a better one. Still not great, but better. I snagged this from the dungeon preview video. The boar has no armour and it appears that the ogres are offering some terrified other races to it as dinner.
Really love the warthog look

How about now? I just uploaded it again.GormanGhaste wrote:That boar image isn't working for me.
Something went weird and glitchy when I uploaded it the first time. I have no idea why. I could see it but its permissions mustn't have been set for general viewing. Of course I had no idea till you mentioned it

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
Boars deserve that update. It's good to get some down to earth-ish (spikes on the back after all) boars. Last time we had a new boar was in TBC. I might actually tame one now, they look incredible.
Hope they also allow the armored versions to be tameable.

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
I hope that where they can that some of the old world models get updated as well. The old boars are going to look sad alongside our new character models...Qraljar wrote:Boars deserve that update.

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
Oh gosh, that new wolf and the boar look incredible. Hopefully they'll change the skeleton for the wolf but with that texturing I may just have to retire my old Prairie Wolf and say he had a pup, haha.
Edit: I'm watching this recording and it does unfortunately look like they have the gimpy worg animations, they BETTER CHANGE THIS since they used the wolf run in the trailer. Augh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Dt5_eCcd8M

Maybe some new rares in 6.0 or 6.1 that have the new models?

Definitely going to be taming a new boar. Indifferent to the new wolves, but glad everyone else likes them.

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
That new wolf looks very nice. I'll probably get one. I've never been a fan of boars and have never had one but the new model does look much better. I'm interested in the river beast too.

Re: [Blizzcon] Possible new hunter pets
Been wanting this model since the mounts popped up!Moderator wrote: New wolf model. Which is like a "no harness" version of the newer wolf mount. Slickrock confirms at least 3-4 color variants of the wolf exist, including a very dark grey.
See my wish list in my sig lol

I want that wolf so bad!
Vephriel that looks like the wolf again not a wolverine but it does look like we have a awesome spy!
Remember people nothing is confirmed until the expac goes live no matter how many models and in game shots/movies/trailers etc we see. (See the unused looks here on the site that have sat around for years.) Even then if it make it into the live game that does not mean it will be tamable.
