I would like to officially request that the Vah Shir warder be updated to use the new tiger model. The are in use in Shar Vahl at the front door of the palace. Would it be extremely hard to change them?
Alright I'll toss my hat in the ring here too. Instead of new tigers, I'd like to see tiny old-school Kerrans for the Vah Shir warder.
Ogres and iksar beastlords should use the new bear and chokidai models too but people have a fit when you suggest they improve something
It's a matter of personal taste. Many players run the old models. Many players enjoy the "old world experience" in TLP. Keep the old models as the base model but provide a permanent pet illusion AA for new models (which you can click off).
A class and PC race bound pet illusion spell or clicky would be better as NPC & pet graphics should be bound to the expansions in their original state and for Vah Shir this is TSoL. The TSoL tiger model is already an updated version and it does look more authentic than the newer PoR puma model with the tiger texture map on it. Version 1 (Original) Version 2 (TSoL) Version 3 (PoR)
While we're at it, correlate pet to race size. Gnome necromancers summoning spectres ten times the size of the gnome is weird.
Umm no? If any of them need fixed, its the Trolls who got screwed out of a cool alligator pet because someone at DPG didn't want to fix the model's pathing problems. At best I'd say give us a perm pet illusion AA and make the pet illusion items duration perm too. Then people can make their pet look like whatever wands are available.
I play a Necromancer and Enchanter and I would LOVE a permanent pet illusion AA! Even if I need to cast it when the pet dies and it takes a buff slot. My necro ALWAYS has her pet in skeleton form so I can see what weapons his pet is using (plus, I really prefer the skeleton look). It would be really cool, too, if my enchanter could project illusions (with the AA) on her pet.
I would LOVE it if the pet classes would have the option to automatically have their pets SHRUNK when they are summoned.
How about persistent illusion working on pets, or just make pet illusions long duration/persist through zoning regardless of AA. Right now you need to have the familiar keyring and persistent illusion AA's in order for pet illusions to last while zoning, and even with that the duration is fairly short. This is a blind spot for revenue in my opinion. Why buy pet illusions if you need to recast it ever time you zone and then make them last short duration? Edit: not sure what I was smoking but apparently read past this suggestion multiple times... carry on.
