Pet illusions

[Jebasiz]

They didn't go live. I've asked for a time estimate, but they haven't answered that yet.

[Aegrusnecrox]

Aww give'em a break Egg they were busy pushing out another expansion NOT because they wanted your money but so you could have a high quality expansion to play in that had lots and lots of testing so as to be released seemlessly with no need for emergency patching!

Anyone buy that?

Oh...the servers are down for the second patch since release :rolleyes:
Wonder if the wanderlust aug, etc will be fixed....

[sauruman]

They were supposed to go live w/ TSS then they turned back on their word (Rashere). So I donno wtf is taking so long. Maybe they are gonna give beast and mages their new pet models at the same time too or some shit? These basterds are getting upsetting. The spells work- GIVE THEM TO US!!!!!

Keep up the good work pressing them on this, Jeb. Its not dps but looks are important too.

[Xislaben]

On a similar note, illusions serverwide are borked.

I've got a shammy who now goes around as a red skelly like our epics.

[Schaeffer]

I always thought Shaman would make nice pets for us...

Being just as curious as you about when Rashere was going to get started on this, I followed up on the Pet Illusions. I burst into his office, catching him completely by surprise, waggled my finger an inch from his nose and shouted, "Rashere! When are you going to put in pet illusions? You promised, remember?"

Then he gave me that funny look that he often does, and he reminded me, "Umm, Prathun. That's your job."

So I put them in the game.

There are 5 different pet illusions available from different places for different guises. Some are harder to get than others but all are obtainable with a single group or solo. They'll go out with our next full patch.

Thanks. =)

There, pet illusions going in next patch ;)

[pizer]

is that 5 a typo?

[Aegrusnecrox]

horray.

[winchester20]

Awesome! When's the next patch?

[FCseven]

I swapped all the specters in the world over to use the new model, including all of the pets and most of the mob population. However, I didn't want to switch over the Velious ice specters since they have a unique look and we don't have a appropriate mat to match. -Prathun

So if he switched over all old spectres wouldent that would make only 2 for necros?I assume the others are for other classes.

[Darkeeyes]

Next Full patch = Next expansion.......and an oops there broke again it'l be a while yet.

Next patch will be Fableds and that's gonna be pretty fast probably.

[Schaeffer]

Ooo, watch expansion are we up to with Fableds?

[Meph]

[Schaeffer]

[sauruman]

I get a half pack of Lifesavers when someone mentions Pet illusions.

On Test

form of chilled bone (frostbone)
form of bleached bone (normal skeleton?)
form of mottled bone (drybone?)
form of restless spriits (new spec)
form of rotting flesh (zombie)
form of burnt bone (the really dark skeleton
form of ancient spirits (?)
form of a fallen empire (iksar skeleton maybe?????)

this is from a guildy, so not 100% sure of factualy. but if theses are all real, that means their models are in the global file, and so all you iksar's can theorieticly get iksar lich's ( if they put the effort into doing that)

[Aegrusnecrox]

Ancient Spirits is probably banshee.

I thought the new spectres were supposed to be a global change, so our pets would look like them normally.

[Jebasiz]

perhaps(it might), but I was told that it may not be that way initially. Then again, I got no flat answer(I don't think they know when it'll go global).

[Lashden]

this is what made me think that:

will someone please explain the need for a new spectre model illusion? why are they keeping both models around? ditch the old spectre and make the new spectre global across the board.

I swapped all the specters in the world over to use the new model, including all of the pets and most of the mob population.

Although after reading that again I get the impression that he either did it and then changed his mind...or there are two spectre type looks our pets can have.

He did also specify in that thread they weren't changing the Velious Ice Spectres because they didn't have anything to compensate. Those would be the ones carrying axes in lieu of scythes. They can be found in Velks and Sleepers.

[winchester20]

Oh man, I would love to have iksar skelly lich illusion. I've never been happy with lookin like a generic skeleton. If I wanted that, I would have made a dark elf necro! Give me my skeletonized tail!

Except for the old spectre model connected to Arch Lich. My guildies laugh when they see the new spectre model chasing after the old spectre model (me) like it is trying to eliminate the last vestiges of an illusion as out of date as Members Only jackets.

/sigh

Ancient:master of death is the old spectre too =(.

Yeah, but I can see them leaving the ancient one. That almost makes sense, it's like a cool little bonus for having it in the first place. Dumb to leave arch lich though, lol it's the first damn one!

[Ecol]

I hate my kite. The new illusions look cool. I hate the spectre whooshing sound...so I use Bleeched Bone. Plus i can start using my Wonder Twin referenced hotkeys.
