Chains of Domination PTR is up! June 29 (NA) / June 30 (EU) Release!

[Clayford13]

Oh man I really hope we get tamable versions of the new model in all skin colors plus new ones. I’ve wanted an updated warp stalker for years. I was so sad they didn’t do it in Warlords and just reused the old one

[Qraljar]

Here's some previews of the animations. Again- don't have textures because I dunno how to do that on wow.tools, but

Wow, I love that run animation too much, I want one!!!! Saurolisks should get that animation update too

[WerebearGuy]

I love how it looks kind of like a toad with that run animation. Really makes it feel more alien than just a big lizard with horns.

My brain will explode if it has that slow motion run, outlandish or argussian creatures, like this, should be made to look more alien and less earth

[WerebearGuy]

So, a new build apparently went out today. Time to resume the hunt for new skins. To start us off, I present Thunderhorn in his new look! He's also been made tameable, and keeps the electrified horns. The effect is...very weak when scaled down, but it's still visible!

[WerebearGuy]

Hoppers are almost entirely called "Gromit" now. Still not classified as any pet type.
Shardhides are now classified scalehides. I hate it.
Korthian Fliers still have the same naming conventions.
Mounting disconnects you. You log back in on your mount, but still. Tested with 20 different mounts. (Known issue, just deal with it)

[Valnaaros]

Thunderhorn now uses the unused grey variant and retains the electric effect.

[Valnaaros]

The Crystal Scorpids are now tamable, but as expected, they are broken.

[WerebearGuy]

Oh god yes. I hope they fix it, but also that they "fix" it in that there's broken and proper versions. I like the broken look. All four versions are tameable, right? Skorpyron, Acidmaw, Crystalline (trash and boss add), and Volatile?

[Valnaaros]

Raigonn is now tamable, but does not retain the damaged appearance. He does retain his name.

[worgpower]

The Crystal Scorpids are now tamable, but as expected, they are broken.

WOOOHOOOO, now it’s finally time, I’m updating my ptr and going to check if korthia beasts got tameability, but I’m most excited for thunderhorn and nighthold scorpids

[Qraljar]

Raigonn is now tamable, but does not retain the damaged appearance. He does retain his name.

Cheers to this. I have the long quest chain green Kunchong, but this is good for people who don't want to go through that.

If only they could do the same for Garalon, but I know why they can't.

[Valnaaros]

Midnight is not tamable, nor are any of the skeleton horses.

[Qraljar]

You know what would be a nice surprise?

If the various different maggot types were tameable worms.

[Valnaaros]

Ohgan is tamable, but because of how the fight works you can't actually tame him.

Cancel that. The fight was changed so that he can be tamed. He retains his name.

[Valnaaros]

The Ram is now classified as a Beast and uses the Black variant. It runs away when you start taming it.

[worgpower]

I just saw the shardhide change, I like it, but at the same time doesn’t make sense since the npcs are still bears, they can rename them to something else, like rename shardhide “alphas” to brutes and “bear” to something else, and cub to something else too, it just bugs the hell out of me, and I like the new name for the hoppers, they should either do what I said above or revert back to bears as werebearguy wants, and I’m happy about the new ram

[Valnaaros]

The Alpaca Calf now uses the unused white variant.

[WerebearGuy]

Alpha is fine, because that just means the baddest of the bunch. As for "bear", that should be changed in one of two ways; return them to bears (preferred), or just remove the "bear" part of their name since "bear" is only a title for a species and a stereotype for indecent things.

EDIT: Valnaaros, you sure? I only saw the skin we already have that isn't white. Check to be sure the head isn't off-white, because all of the ones I saw were that variant instead of the current live skin.
