Oh no. What have they done to my blue devilsaur??

Please, let her return as a rare or a skin found elsewhere... I'll be so grateful!

praying that they don't change the white direhorn skin too much ;n;

I kinda like the new blue one. It just looks more dinosaur; and less. "NEON DINO HOOO!"

If they leave them this way, I think my choice of Direhorn will change from blue to brown and I may not tame any Devilsaur at all. I really liked the blue devilsaur before. :cry:

I like the dark blue Devilsaur...but I also really, really, really loved the light blue one. I may still change Arawn's color, but I wish the light blue was still around.

I was thinking this also :D

or even just a mix of them amoung the "Green" and "Blue" herds, you know maybe boys and girls, etc. ;)

A shame that they have been completely removed, but I'm sure they would have a copy of the orginals somewhere, even if they are not in the public files. There is still a chance they would/could be put back in, you never know :)

It certainly seems possible that there was a mistake somewhere. Though I do like the darker look on some of them, the dull eyes and details (such as teeth or spikes) lend credence that this may not be intentional. It's a bit weird that it only affected a few skins, and that the old ones were replaced, but I guess we'll have to wait and see if anything more comes of it.

The problem with doing that is that the older ones wouldn't be tameable until the next expansion. I could easily live with a mix of the two, though - it would add a little more character to each set of families.

Oh bugger, sorry I have not been on the PTR, I did not realize that the Older ones where not of a tamable lvl, so yeah... that would suck :?
Still I kinda like the girl and boy versions myself ;)

First porcupine spirit beasts and now they changed the blue devilsaur I was so excited to go get when 5.2 hit. I'm probably still going to tame one but I'm not even remotely as excited about it as before. It was sooo pretty. Why? Ugh. I'm going to bed.

I still prefer the new colors overall, but ideally we would have access to all of them.

They could change the level of the parents, maybe even make them a type of challenge tame. If they can change skins, they can change levels. :-)

I personally thought the old blue devilsaur was *too* bright. It did look nice, and probably looked even nicer in-game, but I prefer it now.
Maybe that's cause I never cared much for it though... I'm after the black one myself.

Totally devastated by these skin changes.

Every since I saw that datamined blue direhorn model I knew I had to have it - even leveled my alt hunter just to get hold of that skin; and now it's been changed to one I have no interest in taming. I really dislike the new models - they look like someone stuck stripe stickers on the poor things.

I never really liked devilsaurs and I really dislike the new spirit beasts (was hoping for a tiger/crane/yak like the celestials really); if they leave them as is I guess I won't be taming anything new next patch. :(

Here's hoping the old models are brought back somewhere, so I can still have the direhorn I hoped for.

Isn't there still time before the patch hits? Could be a boo-boo, or if it's intentional they could change their minds if there's enough backlash. That being said, I definitely prefer the old green and blue. While the skin itself was brighter, the stripes and textures look better and more natural to me. That and I love bright green. *gives Apollyon googly-eyes* ^.^

The blue devilsaur and dire horn looked MUCH Better before, IMO. Like, I was trying to decide between a blue or red direhorn, and they made my decision for me.

Though, now I'm tempted between green and red. :S I wonder why red has no stripes.

Not going to lie, I'd love to see black stripes on the red.
