Color changing pets

Unread post by zedxrgal »

If someone has access to the Legion alpha and /or PTR will you check if color changing pets have started changing color again or if this was actually fixed???

I know this isn't a priority but I am still heartbroken pets I worked VERY hard to get became broken and never worked again even though they were "looking into it".

Not to mention the wasp pets of different sizes. I miss my giant silithid wasps and tiny fireflies :(

We cant copy live characters over yet, so this won't be testable for a while. I don't have any colour-changers or former colour-changers anyway, but hopefully someone else can.

I doubt this can ever be fixed now, though. I may be wrong but I think the colour data for that pet in your character's file was long overwritten with a single colour. So I suspect it can't ever be automatically reversed.

Maybe I'm wrong in that but I really wouldn't get hopeful. Sorry :(

I fear you may be right Wain. :( :cry: I keep hanging onto all my color changers just in case but am starting to lose hope. I think with the game mechanics etc changing so much that my beloved chromatic pets will no longer be used. Which means. I'd have to let them go. Which also means Zagara will be petless. I'll have to think up new lore for her and everything.

Ok. Done pouting.

Edit: Because apparently spelling and grammar are not being used by me today.

The Hyena seems to be the only one that still color changes if you got one way back when :| :mrgreen:

It does not. Checked all my color changers tonight. The Rabid hyena from Uldum was one of the many and he stayed white after multiple dismissing and summoning. So if yours still changes you're the only one.

Interesting. Then you'd be the only person so far with a color changer. Zagara's Snickers as of Monday night still doesn't color change. Neither did any of the worms, crabs or the fox. I didn't have the mastiff.
