So Ursa's not grandfathered out of the new look and honestly? I love him like this. <3 He moves the same way as before - it's still him.

In truth, I always had issues with the original model, so having different issues with the HD version isn't too big of a shift for me.

Definitely looks better in motion. <3

Kalliope - Personally I think he looks really good with your gal. Makes me very curious to see my girl with her diseased black bear.

Just quoting myself

Hee, thanks, Zed! I hope things work out for your bear too. <3

I know I'm in the minority at the moment, but if it helps anyone, it's kind of nice having both Ursa and Kalli in HD now. Ursa just got his polygon upgrade an expansion later!

My only critique of the model is that there seems to be a weird cut under his eye...O-o? Ursa, did you get in a fight with another bear dude??

Yeah the eyes in general are my biggest problem with the new model. Very low res/detail, too squinty... and as mentioned in the past the glow/color seems to go outside of the eye for some reason, making it almost look like it has a bunch of eye shadow smeared everywhere. :s

Growing pains, maybe? >_>;

He and Kalli kind of match now with their damaged eyes.... *sniffs emotionally* My babies. <3

Do you mean the weird cut that is pretty much an extension of its mouth? Like Heather Ledgers's Joker (minus makeup)?

That's an artefact that was introduced when they fixed up the model. It's more pronounced in some skin colours than others. I think it was just a symptom of them trying to squish the bear's head into an acceptable shape.

When the bear roars it disappears, which is why I took all the new model shots with their mouths open.

Aww, I'm sorry, Zed. The important thing is that you tried! Perhaps if Grimrot was so eager to see you, that's a sign....? He might be anxious to swap.

I've actually been spot-checking for Ol' Muddle just because I want to meet him and haven't seen him at all. Not sure if that's connected to PTR instabilities or a long spawn timer in both of their cases.

OH WOW, so because of this post, I went to check on him again. He's up! (And the server's going down.) I didn't expect him to a) have such a large pathing route b) be level 100 and aggressive in a level 30 zone. O_O WELCOME TO THE HINTERLANDS, you poor leveling sots. Is this intentional or something that needs to change?

Anyway, I can confirm that Ol' Muddle charged me from a bit of a distance; is that what Grimrot did to you, Zed? It's normal aggro range, but man, I was not expecting that.

He should scale to Lvl. If you were Lvl 100, then he too is 100. I can't see them having an aggressive Lvl 100 mob in a Lvl 30 zone...lol

Oh good. Because that would be ridiculous.

Thanks, Val! I'm glad I missed a memo rather than discovering something awful. xD That might also explain why I keep seeing hunters that are too low level to tame certain pets camping...:/ They think scaling is a thing now for all of them, I suppose.

P.S. Whoever did Ol' Muddle's pathing, ilu. <3 I am fairly certain no other bear in the game has a path this long.

You bet, Kalliope! It is a detail that hasn't been mentioned much on Petopia or other fansites. Anything added in Legion - whether it is a Hunter pet or a regular ol' mob, scales with Lvl

It's the sort of detail that won't dawn on people until they're actually playing through, I suspect. xD This will be fun to explain to people after the fact.

There are some things that don't scale, but most of the new additions do.

Last I checked, the mechanical sheep did not. Unless that has changed since.

Can confirm! Still level 3.

Aye, but the mechanical sheep existed prior to Legion

Right! But just confirming that it wasn't changed to match.
