Was scanning through MMO Champion and spotted this amongst the very many new models they have posted up:



(Sorry for the size, linked it straight from there)

It looks like they replace the current pets with the new model:

Ugh, I know I'll be in the minority on this, but I hope they don't do that. I don't want to have the old models forcibly replaced (yes I still use old character models as well). I liked that when they updated frogs and snakes, they left the old models alone and just added new ones to supplement them, and had hoped that would be the m.o. with future model updates.

The rabbits (and rats and squirrels and marmots) have desperately needed a model makeover, so I'm glad to see this.

Still, I can't help but be disappointed that this probably spells the end of the super-glossy Mountain Cottontail variant. I worked hard to get that shiny white bunny!

This is the first thing I'm going to test once they allow character/data copying over to the Legion alpha/beta. Hopefully the shiny version will still be in-game, even with the updated models. You can bet I'll be bugging the developers about it.

There IS a general overhaul! Bunnies in general, including [pet]Darkmoon Rabbit[/pet], are updated too!
This list contains also another companions, pet journal descriptions and extracted abilities.

That news was suggested in the [url=http://www.warcraftpets.com/news/legion-alpha-67-new-pets-updated-models-9-tamers/]recent news[/url], but it's not actually linked. Could you contain it aswell?

I'm not sure if should I paste that to the [url=http://www.warcraftpets.com/community/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=15287]general beta topic[/url] too.
After I posted about the previous news, I have a feeling that it actually seems to be better if all informative posts are blue.

Worst Fear can sound quite personally, now at least I'd know what causes some of my problems!
Arcane Annihilator seems to be misplanned.
And for the love of the Light, give a decent access to the Broot, not so easy, not so restricted!

I'd want a [url=http://legion.wowhead.com/npc=97076/]Fledgling Kingfeather[/url] for my hunter if she wasn't forced to get another, different pets >.>

I wrote the front page post prior to Wowhead's model preview, but I've updated the front page to include a link to the Wowhead post now. They have the tools to capture much better images than I ever will!

Love that the Darkmoon Rabbit looks to be getting an update too

Love!!! I hope it's true!

Hmm, I don't see marmots updated. Strange.

Quintessence, have you been able to confirm the mountain cottontail yet? Are the new rabbit models in alpha? Can you copy over pets yet? Do I even know how alpha works? (The answer to the last one is probably no.)

Inquiring minds want to know.

I love these rabbits!!! I just hope that they are new bunnies and not just to replaces the old ones

Much to my dismay, I haven't been able to confirm the existence of the "shiny" [pet]Mountain Cottontail[/pet], no.

Account/data copying is still unavailable on Alpha, but once it is you can bet I'll be checking the cottontail first and foremost!

Perhaps not a need to create a new thread?

Oh please, rethink that one.
The slimmer old shape seemed more recognisable, related to Corvidae, than this pretty generic shown one.
And sometimes the simple, monochromatic colouring is better especially on such a symbolic bird family.

Will sound like a moaning little child but I may even consider staying away from the hunter talent (A Murder). Especially if the new model is more prone to eating the server resources.

My shiny Mountain cottontail now comes in a different color each time it is summoned. None of them are shiny though

I was hoping they would fix this prior to 7.0.3 but guess not. Maybe by Legion?

At least it's 'shiny' (gold) in the Pet Journal and we get another color-changer pet...? *sigh*
