Acquired Runic: Spirit of the Untamed tonight, and have a request for it have a new updated pet graphic. I also am curious if the spell is finalized because the parser says it is supposed to be lvl 66, yet it is the same lvl as the old one. Thanks!
 
You crybaby! You get a new shiny pet and you start to complain the second you scribe it! Shame on you! Beastlords..... tsss....

=P

(Grats on the pet! Awsome news!=D)

the rat. obv.

I mean it could be a leather/chain/plate reskin of one of their current models, couldn't it? aka at the very least it could be a black wolf/polar bear/idk probably a basilisk who cares (I guess kowuf)

edit: also isnt the spider global?!!?! there are jungle spiders in ikisith!

edit2: this is the beastlord runic pet.

Don't trust the spell parser on pets. The 66 was a placeholder number during development, and we just never bothered to change it. As is obvious it isn't level 66, but as should also be obvious it is a VERY significant step up HP wise from the previous pet. He's technically tagged at level 58, but that hardly matters.

Are these his final stats? Eh maybe, maybe not. Everything is subject to change. What you probably didn't know though, is due to the pet backend change from so long ago, he can be changed without a patch, on a HoT server. So whatever the active dev team decides to do with him, it'll be easy to change.

My thoughts? He and the Mage Runic 2 could probably stand higher base level and damage. Stats are independent from the level for the most part, and a higher base damage would help survivability.
 
Just to rabble on about the graphic....

A black wolf, after having the white wolf for ages that sounds like a awsome change on the pet graphic to make it stand out from the "old world barb beast pets". I wouldnt like to loose the wolf though as base graphic since I am a barbarian beast that hopefully sooner or later will get this pet too and I love the wolf graphic...

(Polar bear, red co'dair and mistmane (Haze maybe?) graphics on the others 3? uh there is 4 other kinds of beastlords..? Oh yeah the crock.. hmmm Quickstream lookalike, whatever they are called.. Crack tees?)

His HP is HUGE. Like holy crap huge.
 
I'm most interested in using the texture swaps - basilisk / diff wolf / red scaled wolf.

If we can't be cool at least we can look cool.

Well having looked at it just doing texture+1 in the code when the spell is that one seems pretty convenient:

White wolf->light brown cool wolf
Brown bear->black bear
Alligator->basilisk
Green scaled wolf->red scaled wolf

No change for tiger though. Giving a new model for that one would be a hassle, too.

these are all great ideas no one cares about vah shir anyway just delete them all (the vah shir not the pets we like tigers just not man tigers)
 
Good discussion, thanks for the responses.

Barbarian Suggestion: Cool Wolf Graphic

As for the others graphics I would suggest that other races of beastlords make suggestions, but the ones that Zaela suggested are fine. Thanks for hearing our views and willing to look into this.
 
Adding new, non-global models to every zone is not exactly easy, and sometimes just flat out doesn't work (the Sihala deity quest originally dealt with Lotus flowers, which made ALOT more sense than the treant thing. Wrote up the whole quest before I realized I couldn't get the model to load in most of the zones. Was very not happy about that.)

Zaela's suggestions are very easy, and will work, so that's likely the direction it'll go.

iksar should be the model that shows up for them in emberflow and bloodquarry, the bigass scary looking scaled wolf. Like the named wolf in the jail area of BQ is.
that model does justice to something as awesome as runic2.


can you do like texture+2, etc to get different colors? or just the 1 change

This model literally replaces the dinkier scaled wolf model, so every single scaled wolf pet would either have to look like one or the other.
