TWW Pet Bugs & Suggestions

Unread post by Wain »

This thread is intended for bug reports and suggestions for NPCs that have been added or changed in TWW. For other requests and wishlist stuff ('can you make <old model> tameable?'), please add them to the wishlist thread to keep this one clearer. Thanks! :)


Could be tameable
  • Lethargic Mosswool - ID 212371 - Gruffhorn - mosswool ewe in Dorn
  • Mosspelt Sheep - ID 222419 - Gruffhorn - mosswool ewe in Dorn

  • Ironwold Stormpaw - ID 214970 - Wolf - regular wolf in Dorn (not a storm appearance)
  • Vilewing - ID 216037 - Blood Beast - rare swarmite in Azj-Kahet. Could also retain name when tamed.
  • Abyssal Devourer - ID 216031 - Serpent - rare eel-serpent in Azj-Kahet. Could also retain name when tamed. Since it's a rare, it might also be a good candidate for that unused blue eel serpent skin.
  • Rak-Ahat Silkhauler - ID 225594 - Beetle - in Azj-Kahet.
  • Horned Stagshell - ID 226171 - Beetle - in Azj-Kahet.
  • Invasive Jawgrub - ID 226193 - Worm - in Azj-Kahet.
  • Maddened Siegebomber - ID 216044 - Beetle - rare beetle in Azj-Kahet. Could also retain name when tamed.
  • Nerubian Swarmer- ID 215562 - swarmite in Azj-Kahet. Incorrectly classed as a Spider. Should be Blood Beast.
  • Dreadstrike Flitterer- ID 213320 - swarmite in Hallowfall. Incorrectly classed as a Spider. Should be Blood Beast.

  • Cave Worm - ID 217615 - Worm - jawcraler in in Hallowfall.
  • Kaheti Swarmer- ID 213398 - swarmite in Hallowfall. Incorrectly classed as a Spider. Should be Blood Beast.

  • Light-Bathed Eagle - ID 223191 - Bird of Prey - eagle in Hallowfall.
  • Undersea Wavecutter - ID 222794 - Serpent - eel serpent in Hallowfall.
  • Strength of Beledar - ID 221690 - Bear - rare bear in Hallowfall. Could also retain name when tamed. Also seems to be incorrectly classed as an Elemental.
  • Sweet-sting Worker - ID 220500 - Wasp - in Hallowfall.
  • Hallowfall Sharpbeak - ID 222255 - Bird of Prey - in Hallowfall.
  • Reekscale - ID 221076 - Lizard - rare salamanther in Hallowfall. Could also retain name when tamed.
  • Invasive Undercrawler - ID 215739 - Spider - in Ringing Deeps.
    ADDED 18 MAY:
  • Deep Worm - ID 219425 - Worm- jawcrawler in Ringing Deeps.
  • Strange Shore Crawler - ID 219365 - Crab - spiked crab in Hallowfall.
  • Spore-infused Shalewing - ID 221217 - Ray - rare shalewing in Ringing Deeps. Could also retain name when tamed.
  • Ankle Biter - ID 208241 - Spider - threadling in The Dread Pit delve.
  • Skittering Ambusher - ID 216155 - Spider - threadling in The Dread Pit delve. Also incorrectly classed as a humanoid.
  • Chittering Fearmonger - ID 216583 - Worm - jawcrawler in The Dread Pit delve. Incorrectly classed as a humanoid.
  • Pack Mole - ID 211977 - Rodent - mole in Darkflame Cleft. Side trash that could be tamed without affecting instance but would be handy as it has 14 possible looks.
    ADDED 19 MAY:
  • War Lynx - ID 206699 - Cat - lynx in the Priory of the Sacred Flame dungeon. Trash patrols in the first room. Could probably be made tameable without affecting instance and it would give a source for 5 unavailable lynx looks. Incorrectly classed as a Hound instead of a Cat.
Could retain name after taming
  • Twice-Stinger the Wretched - ID 219271 - rare swarmite in Dorn
  • Fallowbarb - ID 216078 - named wasp in Hallowfall
  • Warphorn - ID 219263 - rare shalehorn in Dorn
  • Plagueheart - ID 219267 - rare shalehorn in Dorn
  • Emperor Pitfang- ID 219265 - rare shale cobra in Dorn
  • Shallowshell the Clacker - ID 219278 - rare crab in Dorn (also, how about giving them a different shell that makes their appearance unique, like this one?)
  • (Uncertain if she already does) Tephrantennae - ID 221126 - rare cinderbee in Dorn. Can't test her until I reach level 80.
  • Fallowbarb - ID 216078 - wasp in Hallowfall
  • Basilisk Matriarch - ID 220270 - rare basilisk in TRD
Wrong family or classification
  • Nerubian Abductor - 211742 - swarmite in Azj-Kahet. Should be Beast not Humanoid.
  • Alunira - 219281 - rare cloudrook in Dorn. I'd suggest she should be a beast not an elemental. Realistically, she's no more elemental than an ohuna, and less elemental that a phoenix or core hound is. Same with any other cloudrooks (model seems to be rarely used in this expansion!)
    ADDED 17 MAY:
  • Leg Chewer (ID 217743) - salamanther in Azj-Kahet. Incorrectly classed as a Serpent instead of a Lizard.
  • Oath Eater (ID 206844) - in-ground / half body worm in Ringing Deeps - Incorrectly classed as a Humanoid when should be Beast and Worm.
    ADDED 18 MAY:
  • Skittering Ambusher - ID 216155 - Spider - threadling in The Dread Pit delve. Incorrectly classed as a humanoid.
  • Chittering Fearmonger - ID 218583 - Worm - jawcrawler in The Dread Pit delve. Incorrectly classed as a humanoid.
    ADDED 19 MAY:
  • War Lynx - ID 206699 - Cat - lynx in the Priory of the Sacred Flame dungeon. Incorrectly classed as a Hound instead of a Cat.
  • Infected Beast - ID 210478 - Lizard - salamanther in a delving in Dorn (Fungal Folly?). Incorrectly classed as a humanoid.
    ADDED 21 JUN:
  • Candlenibbler - ID 218773 - mouse with a candle on its head. Incorrectly classed as a humanoid.
  • Vanishing Nightmare - ID 224922- fog creature / horror. Incorrectly classed as a beast instead of a humanoid or elemental or aberration or whatever they usually are.
  • Umbral Stalker - ID 225139 - warp stalker in Hallowfall. Incorrectly classed in the Lizard family.
  • Gloom Stalker - ID 225138 - warp stalker in Hallowfall. Incorrectly classed in the Lizard family.
  • Kaheti Swarmer- ID 213398 - swarmite in Hallowfall. Incorrectly classed as a Spider. Should be Blood Beast.
  • Direweb Drone - ID 221301 - swarmite in Hallowfall. Incorrectly classed as a Spider. Should be Blood Beast.
  • Dreadstrike Flitterer - ID 213320 - swarmite in Hallowfall. Incorrectly classed as a Spider. Should be Blood Beast.
  • Night Skitter - ID 221080 - baby salamanther in Hallowfall. Classed as a beast and incorrectly classed as a Worm. Unsure if should be a level 1 critter or should use an adult model instead.
  • Shadowstarved Spawnling - ID 222164 - critter model frog in Hallowfall. Classed as a beast. Unsure if should be a level 1 critter or should use an adult toad model instead.
  • Shadow-Sour Mite - ID 214317 - beetle in Duskrise Acreage in Hallowfall. It should be classed as a beast. Currently unclassified. Also a typo in the area name: 'Acreage' is incorrectly spelled 'Acerage'.
  • Adolchomper - ID 217724 - Lizard - baby salamanther model in Azj-Kahet. It's a level 78+ beast but uses a baby model, so unsure if it was meant to be a critter or if it was meant to use adult model. It's not tameable, just noting the oddity.
    ADDED 27 JUN:
  • Sentry Stagshell - ID 216340 - tameable beetle in Ara-Karal. Incorrectly classed as a blood beast instead of a beetle.
Possibly shouldn't be tameable?
  • ADDED 17 MAY:
  • Sunken RIver Eel - IDs 221954 & 228506 (2 IDs) - in Azj-Kahet - tameable as a serpent but uses the electric eel model. Unsure if it was meant to be the "seaeel" model (this happened to eels in the Forbidden Reach) or if it's not meant to be tameable at all.
    ADDED 22 JUN:
  • Highland Hatchling - ID 227230 - baby salamander model in Hallowfall.
  • Contaminated Rockslime - ID 227367 - nudibranch in Azj-Kahet - seaslug model. Not usually tameable.

Missing level scaling: level 1 beasts in TWW zones
  • Terrace Moth (ID 219850) in Brunwins Terrace, Ringing Deeps is a tameable Moth, but it's also level 1. So, unsure if it's meant to be classed as a critter, or if its level is just not scaling.
    ADDED 18 MAY:
  • Cave Skipper (ID 226625) in a Delve is a tameable Hopper, but it's also level 1. So, unsure if it's meant to be classed as a critter, or if its level is just not scaling.


Typos
  • ADDED 17 JUNE:
  • Sharptalon Kestral (ID 227638): should be "Kestrel" not "Kestral".
  • Grandtalon Kestral (ID 227627): should be "Kestrel" not "Kestral".
  • Waivering Drone (ID 224081): should be "Wavering" not "Waivering".
    ADDED 24JUNE:
  • Diminuitive Glowmite (ID 225515): should be "Diminutive" (remove the 3rd 'i').


Appearance suggestions
  • The Ringing Death (ID 214162) would be far more fitting for the zone theme as a deepflayer. It looks a bit out of place as the one and only Revendreth bat in all of the deeps. Deepflayers even have the hanging upside-down animation required for them to hang from the pipe. Maybe it was just a placeholder that was overlooked.
  • Cindersting (ID 220238) - by its name, was this meant to be a cinderbee? It's currently an old wasp. Maybe it was just a placeholder that was overlooked.
  • Either: Resplendent Peafowl (ID 214949) in Dornegal, or Dazzling Peafowl (ID 221523) in Dorn might be a good candidate for the unused scarlet & black peafowl colour. Also note: there's an apparently unused rare named Nalrusza that uses this colour and could be added to TWW, if it's truly as unused as it seems.
  • Opalooze Mollusc (ID 222040) in Dorn: would be a good canidate for look of the same colour, but with crystals on its back? There are no occurrences of that colour with crystals. It's just a matter of switching on that geoset in the display ID.
  • Rock Snail (ID 219304) and/or Oblivious Shaleshell (ID 217123) in Azj-Kahet: would be good candidates for the untameable / unused rusty brown and rusty brown with crystals looks. Other untameable/unused options that might fit well are brown with crystals and this silver-grey without crystals.
  • Hermit crabs, including Shimmering Hermit (ID 224799) : the various hermits each use a lot of colour combos, but they're the same set that has been recycled for a few expansions now and I assume they inherited them from copied older NPCs. To add some novelty, there's a huge number of unused combos, see: this link

To keep this thread purely reactionary to TWW stuff (i.e. reports and suggestions to things that we find in the new zones), I've moved all broader suggestions to a new thread. Please don't take that as trivialising those suggestions / requests, I just want to keep this thread purely for making reports related to TWW findings.
