Re: Chains of Domination PTR is up!
I agree, but it is up to Blizz when and if any other suggestions are made. We just make the suggestions and wait. There are plenty of beasts on the IEs that should be tamable, but the reason that only serpents, cloud serpents, and skeletal hounds are tamable is because they were made tamable when all of those types of beasts were made tamable in 9.0.

You are right, some employee at Blizz definitely took the time to fix those bugs and add/change the looks of older creaturesValnaaros wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 10:46 pmI agree, but it is up to Blizz when and if any other suggestions are made.

Re: Chains of Domination PTR is up!
Ugh, I was afraid that would happen. It's because the stinger, chelicerae, and a few other "add-on" parts are actually separate model files, and I *think* they're added on later using a spell effect. However it is that they're added, it's not part of the display info for that model and so not saved on the final pet. The entire method of implementation for this model seems ludicrously over-complicated to me, and I don't know another creature model that does it except for the Iron Juggernaut in Siege of Org. Perhaps it was more a fun challenge or a proof-of-concept for the model designer, or perhaps there's some real reason for it that I can't see (and isn't required anywhere else). Either way, it's a problem for taming.
I'll let Jeremy know. Perhaps it's something that can be fixed by moving those "effects" (i.e. body parts) to a spell kit attached to the display ID.

I agree, maybe they can at least try, but if that can’t be fixed, I hope they at least fix the running animation, it looks weird when it walks in fast motionWain wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 7:12 amUgh, I was afraid that would happen.

Re: Chains of Domination PTR is up!
- the regular ones, which just lose their stinger when tamed
- and Skorpyron, who has a couple of extra model features, all of which are lost when she's tamed: large crystalline chelicerae, and some very big crystal scales on her back. All the scales (3, I think), and both chelicerae (left and right), are actually ALL separate models!
Both models look the same once tamed as they use the same base model. They just have different auras or spells or whatever to add their other components:
All the components are separate models, which are attached to the base model at some point during creation. However this procedure is done, it doesn't seem to use the spell kit component of creatureDisplayInfo. As a result, the display info isn't saved to the pet.

Re: Chains of Domination PTR is up!
In other news, Fangcaller Xorreth is up today, and I don't think he summons yellow snakes. I've tried a bunch of times, but also I've checked the creatureDisplayInfo database and there doesn't seem to be a display ID set up for the yellow skin yet. If so, it can't appear in the game.

Re: Chains of Domination PTR is up!
It's trial and error using questionable judgement! That's the best way to think of it.
EDIT: If our lurker is lurking and considering more missing skin additions, can you squeeze in the more modern lynx model that's been stuck in limbo for god knows how long? It's on an unused NPC titled "Desert Lion". Even if it's just the lynx skins slapped onto the new night elf druid cat model, it's a significant upgrade.

Compare these two looks:WerebearGuy wrote: ↑Sun May 02, 2021 4:07 pm What's the difference between the beast's bronze and the battle pet's bronze?
The first is available, the second not. They're very similar, however
