Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
My headcanon is that her and Ban'thalos are a couple and they have a little nest somewhere in a super tall tree, scattered with Druid of the flame corpses and a bunch of baby spirit owls. Olm the Wise is the grandpa who reads them bedtime stories every morning whenever he visits. Then one of the baby owls is just a Balance Druid of the Flame who is too afraid to shapeshift back because the owls would realize. <3
Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
I'm sorry I've been so quiet on here, but getting all the new images taken and data sorted for Petopia took everything I had for the past few days. The owl alone required 384 images, due to all its configurations (that was by far the worst one, though, and really sucks because probably 90% of those look combos will never see the game!). I'm so lacking sleep but thankfully it's done before work tomorrow!
I have a first draft guide up now:
https://www.wow-petopia.com/patch10.2.0.php
It'll almost certainly contain inaccuracies, and a little guesswork. And there are no NPC data at this stage. So please post here and let me know if you notice anything tameable that I don't have marked, or anything I've marked tameable that you think might not be. Thanks!
Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
- the skunk is intended!
- the firehawk isn't, and will be sadly made untameable
- umbraclaws (owlbears) are intended to be Feathermanes. Some already are, but many others were classed as bears and should be fixed for the next build.

Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
Wa wa wah! It was fun while it lasted, I hope she’ll at least reconsider letting us tame some firehawks, maybe this patch or next xpac, make them small like veilwings, they don’t deserve to be left out, but a intended skunk, amazing, we should be allowed to tame the other rodents since we have the cave mouse, and I hope the dreamtalons will be cats, it’s a amazing example of a mixed animal model that doesn’t feel right in its family despite its skeleton, when I ran or observed them, they don’t really feel like raptors except for the animationsWain wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2023 12:02 pm Other things that Sarah has confirmed:

Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
I just realized we’ve been blessed with a lot of rodent models this xpac, the skunk colors look epic, for a skunk, this upcoming patch also is adding new Druid forms which are the creatures we find here along with the firecat, so I’m leveling my Druid just so I can be all those creatures, back on to the skunk topic, they’re also not rodents, rather weasels like ottuks and marsuuls, we need a new family for those creaturesKööna wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2023 2:23 pmWain wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2023 12:02 pm Other things that Sarah has confirmed:

Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
While we're at it, I hope they also give us raccoons!
Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
Well spotted! Looks like I'm going to have to add all the cobra body/glow combos. That's most definitely a new combo appearance using the yellow body, red glow on body, and blue glow on minor halo effects (you can see the blue sparks faintly around its head).
Interestingly, they've added a bunch of new appearance IDs for those cobras in 10.2 (these aren't new textures, just new uses of the existing textures). There are at least a couple each of the green and the blue/purple looks. This doesn't mean we'll see them tameable in 10.2 but it at least means they've been considering using them in some situation.

I mention it here because I tied it to the 10.2 pet preview.

Yay I’ve been heard, I wonder what and how many combos there will be, I love this model cuz of itWain wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 12:19 pmWell spotted!

Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
There are only 4 colours and 4 matching glow colours, so there should be just 16 possibilities.
But the glow effect is used twice on the model and can be set differently for each. I wouldn’t have expected that to happen but that’s exactly what has happened here. And for an effect that is really minor! So 4x16 = 64 combos.

Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
That’s not so bad, you can probably name them in order like the unused panthara colors, it’s a lot of looks but not a lot compared to the somnowls, I’d fall asleep looking at all 384. If you are generating combos, I hope to see them at some pointWain wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 11:19 pm Technically, 64 combos

Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
edit: I know there's a good chance they are druid NPCs, I just haven't seen them here on PTR at all if they are.
Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
I looked for the three too, but my first guess was that they belong to a certain quest.Runethia wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 12:53 pm Has anyone spotted any of the thornborn spirits? Liliuna, Astera, or Argyr? I know not everything in the database makes it to live, and I don't want to get my hopes up too much. At the same time, I am desperately hoping someone finds at least one of them. I made the grave mistake of playing the BFA beta and falling in love with the thorn bear before they fixed it.
So far I have only seen one "Drust" in The Dream who had a name
Re: 10.2 Guardians of the Dream: Beasts Thread
And it's all because of just one new pet in 10.2 that uses a combination of textures and glows.
There are 64 combos
Here's the new upcoming look:
It has a base yellow skin, with a red glow over it, and a halo of purplish sparks.

... and pop out the hidden menu labelled "Unused Combination Looks". There are some very cool possibilities there.
Like, this one would be a perfect shadowflame cobra:
