Old boar model vs the new boar model

Unread post by FatLeon93 »

Question for all the hunters out there. Do you prefer the vanilla model or the new model that uses the Direhorn skeleton? I wish that they updated the old model (like they did with the wolves in WoD) instead of reusing the direhorn skeleton, even as a mount (the mount special makes no sense on a boar, since boars don't have a tail like the direhorn)

I like aspects of both, but the Vanilla ones had so much more personality in their skeletons and animations, I wish they'd use it again. :(

I prefer the old animations because they're more pig-like. Only thing I like about the new boars is that they don't look like they came from a PSX game made a decade late. Like the old Pterrordax model, these boars need to be given a visual upgrade without replacing them with the new models. Give them the Tallstrider treatment (minus color failure) already!

I openly admit to finding bugs and exploits so they can be reported asap and get fixed. You might have seen some of the fun hunter pet side effects posted here in the past.

I will never share how to perform exploits. The only ones who know are those I personally trust to help get things fixed.

Yeah, I'd love to see the undead boar updated, but I also fear they'd tone it down or something after what happened to, for example, the undead quillboar from Vanilla (updates completely lose their skull face, protruding bones/gore, and replace them with just some purplish skin that's a little bumpy :/)
