And looking at those, now I realize what's bugged me about the models. The receding hairlines that they have, and the lack of ears.

Ughhh why did beta have to come back up just as I get to work. :(

I need to see them for myself when I get home. From what I can see so far, it's definitely better than the cat. I'm glad the head is held upright again...still not as fond of it as I was of the dog though. The front paw in the walk animation looks like it stretches weirdly, and the back paw kicks backward in an odd manner.

Mia, could you do some gifs and/or pictures of the stone skin? I'm curious about how the statue ones look.

The feet are making the moving animations look a little waddle-y. Go go penguin-shishi!

Maybe they're still tweaking it...

Beta servers aren't up for me. I have to see this in game to tell if I like it. The walk looks like the front legs swing out and around. Kinda weird!

Thanks Mia!

I think this model will grow on me. The feet during the walking animation is really the only thing bugging me, but they're not that bad. Kudos to Blizzard on the skeleton choice, it really seems to encompass aspects of both former bases.

I too will have to see it in game and hope it's better there... there are just some small details though that are really bothering me >_< Like how their mouths close TOO much in the idle animations. >_< They also dont have standing out whispers anymore :( Or tiny teeths. D: No bouncing ears either. T-T

I actually kinda like this.

It's like the worg, only...not. A little looser.

And NO YAWNING.

But....*mourns the floppy ears*

That's the gryphon skeleton too, isn't it? Hrm...yeah, some animations look odd. Maybe Neilaren's right and they're still tweaking it?

Yeah, that model seems a good choice. Any of them are going to have some quibbles. I just wish there wasn't the receding hairline. Good thing I won't be seeing that side too often.

The receding hairline's been there from the beginning. ;) Maybe you should opt for a stone-based quilen? :D

If those become tameable, yep. :ugeek: Slick is a miner/engineer, so that would make sense. :ugeek:

And he's a professor too. :ugeek: so the Arch fits as well.

Yup, this is the gryphon mount/winged lion mount skeleton and animations. Neither of those have attack animations so that's why they don't have any yet.

I'm hopeful then that they're using this as a base and they'll be tweaking it a bit, since they have to create new animations anyways.

Seems like a useful sort of thing for them to do in general - I'd imagine this could be applied to other things as well once it can attack. :D

Poor Quilen, they must be the most altered and swapped around creature model in the history of the game. :lol:
