New 'Glyph of the Stag' models.

[Vidur]

In case anyone missed it; I'm *very* happy they changed it.



They seem to be split Alliance (presumed on the left) and Horde (presumed on the right).

Ah, pitty, when I first took a look at them, I was hoping they finally added Stag/Reindeer mounts to the game.

Interesting how they update the new models to look BA, but they dont touch the older models with a 10 foot pole yet, besides slapping armor on them (Boomkin, reg Travel, and reg Aquatic!

They look really nice. I love the texture work on the fur.

You can still kind of use them as mounts. You'll just need a very subservient Druid friend.

Oops. Didn't realize there was already a thread on this, my apologies. Please close.

Not yet. These forms are not currently available.

I don't think this will be the glyph model. It doesn't make sense to me that they would update this model without updating in some way the original travel form. I think they will change this glyph to give you the original travel form and make this the baseline travel form.

I think about the same. To be honest, 99% of druids will pick the glyph if it remains as it is (yes, another made-up percentage in a forum, but you know that I'm right), it has really interesting uses in PvP and probably in pve as well.

The old model feels weird, having two feline forms, one that has utility and damage and one that only runs faster, have always felt unnecesary and odd (at least to me). I wouldn't mind trading the old one with this new. Maybe the glyph could turn into "your Travel form can now serve as a mount to other players as well" or "your travel form speed is increased to match other 100% mounts speed but this effect is only active out of BG, Arena, and etc" or something like that.

save a mount, ride a druid

[Suikoden]

Oooooh I like these upgraded models!

[Keakee]

I am loving these new upgraded models, although it would be awesome if they also had specific worgen and troll stag models.

They're really nice but I don't understand the way Blizzard thinks at all. Shamans have had crappy models for their Ghost Wolf since forever now and they added a glyph in MoP that makes it even worse; Demonology warlock share the same exact model for every race and gender for their metamorphosis still and their new pets get reused models that are already in game...

Meanwhile a completely optional glyph gets two new and beautiful models for something that is, as I already said, completely optional. There are some priorities here...

And yes I am completely jealous.

It's because you got Heroism!

And moonkin looks the same since vanilla. your point is?

That Blizzard has bad priorities in upgrading models? You just enriched my point with what you said.

[huth]

They might change the glyph to be only the riding part and make the models baseline.

Also, forms are integral to the Druid kit. Not so much for the Shaman. Giving Shamans new totem models would be more comparable.


Aside from that, "not the priorities i want" is not the same as "bad priorities". This is rather an example of good prioritising: They were making a new stag model anyway, making two slightly modified ones for travel form was a simple task.

They look amazing. I guess I'll be playing my druid a bit more again in the new expansion.

you should not judge that on a form that you rarely use outside pvp

anyway, sea lion and trafel form models where also crap since vanila, updating trafel form to a stag is nuce but those 2 stags can also be simpel mounts instead of druid forms

1.Get some one to hop one
2.Run off cliff
3.Pop flight form and follow them down as they fall to their death
4.Pop bear and tea bag their corpse
