Patch 12.1.5

[Valnaaros]

Getting this thread up for whenever the ptr for this patch starts.

Not too much to be found in this patch. I did find a tamable saddled/armored raptor that retains the spectral effect once tamed. However, taming it, as far as I can tell, prevents progress in the new delve.

Oh wow. That spectral effect looks spectacular. Hopefully there is an unsaddled version I can tame of the raptors and other beasts

[Vephriel]

Oh I love more ghostly pet options!!! Hopefully that stays in

[Talihawk]

Oh wow that's great!

So far I've only noticed the one new pet-related texture (untameable!) in the 12.1.5 database, and that's the new indigo blue aqir wasp texture:





I've only found it being used for one battle pet; it's not on any beasts at all that I've noticed. Hopefully that changes in upcoming builds! There are quite a free NPCs in the 12.1.5 database that use this model, so it seems like there's plenty of opportunity to use it.

This new aqir model is what happens when you ask for extra void in your order. The color of the tentacles & eyes are amazing in this model, but the carapace is too dull, one shaded, the purple gray color is blended way too much. It will most likely look better in game, but I’d love the yellow tape aqir from the trading post to make it as a hunter pet

I can't disagree there.

I think it's a really nice shade of blue. And blue is my favourite colour.

But it also looks like an object viewed through a blue filter rather than something real. It looks like an artist that had no spare time used some basic tools to shift *every* colour to blue, said "good enough!" and moved on.

We saw the same thing with the recolours of old snake models in 12.1. It's great to have new colours but they looked like they were just dipped in dye.
