Direhorn size with hunter race/gender (IMG HEAVY)

[GormanGhaste]

I think what they need to add is some dynamic scaling, similar to how mounts scale a certain amount. Set a min/max for each beast, and let it adjust based on hunter's race.

I can understand the appeal of this, but standardizing sizes would take away the choices we have now for pet vs hunter sizes. If you like to have pets that are larger than you, roll a goblin or dwarf hunter. If you like smaller pets, roll one of the taller races.

dsbfdbdnjfkdns can someone confirm that? If they're bigger now OMG YES.

Confirmed; logged in and am now dwarfed by Tiresias.

The dire horn next to the tauren is quite disappointing. I was really looking forward to it, but now it just looks out of place next to the hunter.

That's awesome, but they... almost look too big imo

[TygerDarkstorm]

Oh yay, I think their new size is perfect! When I think of a dinosaur as a pet I want a large, fierce looking companion (unless we're talking about like chicken sized deinonychus).

Except, ya know, you might not like the smaller races. I love Draenei, but sometimes I wish he was just a tad shorter and less...top heavy. But I still love the race and it's why most of my toons are Draenei.

Man, the new size looks sooo much better! Now the horns will go over my dude's head lol.

LOVE the new size! Oh, wow, I really hope they stay big. -gets back to leveling!-

[Snowy]

Oh god this has made me so happy. Thank you Kalli for taking a screenshot too! They look so much better now.

[Slapperfish]

You can't tell right now, but my inner dinosaur enthusiast is overly ecstatic with happiness.

You shall soon be mine, Armadon! SOOOOOOOOOOOON!!! L(º0 º>)

Deinonychus was more like the raptors we can tame.
Velociraptor was about 6 feet long, and pretty small.
Compies were the chicken-sized ones, and ironically when tamed they're massive.

On a different note, I'm so happy with the direhorns' new size! Our prayers have been answered!

Just for fun:

Well now that just looks glorious and down right frighting with bestial wrath.

But it's not straight standardizing.. maybe it could be a glyph.

The mounts certainly scale. Pets could too.

[Maizou]

If you think they're too big, you're welcome to use the Glyph of Lesser Proportion.

[Vephriel]

Eee, just had a chance to get into PTR and see their new size myself. I'm so happy, THIS suits them much better in my eyes.

I tried to get as close as I could to a comparison screenshot:

Old size:


New (and improved) size:


And an animated gif since I manged to get Veph almost in the exact same size/position for easy comparison:

[GormanGhaste]

Oh no, they're going to be worse than rhinos. Hopefully the lesser proportion glyph will make them a little more manageable.

[Snowy]

Oh my. They've really grown up! And I really like it. As a non-raider, this doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Am I going to have to do this again (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

New size is neat though! I personally think they went a little too big (like barely) but better too big than too small for direhorns imo. Happy either way!

[MaximumOverdrive]

Going too big tho, for those who feel it's too big, can use the glyph to shrink them. Those who wanted them bigger had no real option. Thanks for the size compare, Veph! They look great!
