Missing character renders

API Discussion
1

for a while now, for new / transferred characters the full character render with background is missing from the api response.

e.g. this is still available for characters that havent been moved recently: render.worldofwarcraft .com/eu/character/blackmoore/177/175159473-main.jpg

while this character was transferred yesterday:
render.worldofwarcraft .com/eu/character/draenor/4/176062724-main.jpg

in either case, the corresponding raw image (e.g. render.worldofwarcraft .com/eu/character/draenor/4/176062724-main-raw.png) is present but I’m wondering whether the regular main with backgroudn will be available again?

api response in question:

"assets": [
    {
      "key": "avatar",
      "value": "https://render.worldofwarcraft.com/eu/character/draenor/4/176062724-avatar.jpg"
    },
    {
      "key": "inset",
      "value": "https://render.worldofwarcraft.com/eu/character/draenor/4/176062724-inset.jpg"
    },
    {
      "key": "main-raw",
      "value": "https://render.worldofwarcraft.com/eu/character/draenor/4/176062724-main-raw.png"
    }

That’s because they’re not supported anymore.

Those are old images sitting on the CDN and I don’t think they’re getting updated anymore.

I doubt it. The Armory doesn’t use those composited images anymore and uses the transparent PNGs in front of static backgrounds instead.
