I wish we could have bigger Felguards/ Wrathguards. Seeing all this big and intimidating fellas on Remix makes our own summons feel like kids.
And what about shadowbolt? Oh man, i miss the old school Skull animation, at least give us an glyph!
Just this! This is it…
I have no idea if it’s rose tinted glasses or if it’s actually true but I remember the Felguard being much larger during BC and Wrath. Wrathguard felt way more intimidating when it was dual wielding those giant polearms. I wish they could go back to be as towering as my nostalgia remembers them being.
Shadowbolt is something that I enjoy aspects from both modern and original. I enjoy the way the shadowy skull was portrayed in the original. Shadow magic in general back then felt more… intangible? Mysterious? I don’t know how to describe it. Either way it felt punchier than the modern form and more dangerous.
On the other hand I do enjoy the flecks of Fel magic in the modern version and the nonlinear trajectory the bolt itself takes. If they could marry the best aspects of both it could be a great looking spell.
More than Shadowbolt though they need to update Drain Soul. Dear god that animation is rough.
Our Felguards mode size has been shrunken 3 times. Btw this has nothing to do with adjusting the demons models size due to other players since one they can adjust how they look to other w.o making the models smaller, also both elemental shamans and beast mastery hunters have crazy large pet model sizes for the beats/elemental so when the devs say that why they did it you know it’s a lie.
The demons for warlocks seems to be coded in alot different than the pets for hunter/temp pets and unfortunately we don’t have devs with the knowledge to code appropriately w.o messing something up hence we get the just deal with it when a shrinkage happens. They won’t even say anything about it.
Three model sizing reductions happened, back in Wod, another in legion when they were trying to address the dual wielding of wrathguard and then when they introduced the demon pet transmog (so an amazing system that they just left to collect dust since DF) which the pulled a fast one on warlock players when we thought they would introducing different models to all demons and add some more throughout expansions/seasons.
But they just left it to collect dust, probably going to see the same fate as archeology 
.
Also think shadowbolt once had a much better design plus demonbolt used to have mini bolts orbiting the bigger bolt when launched.
I just remembered Shadowbolt had an in between animation introduced during Cata. That animation was a nice update on the OG and had 2 smaller shadow orbs spiraling the skull.
I think if I could get a glyph of that version I’d enjoy it a good bit.
Yup that’s one. It was a much better visual spell that the one we have currently. Same goes for demonbolt.
Think the some of the spells sound effects had more impact behind them.
Ironically, the skull bolt animation was updated but it was given to mortal coil.
If you look at mortal coil properly it is exactly what shadowbolt should’ve been.
I’ve never looked at it too closely honestly. I’ll have to give it a gander later today.
They could just give us a Glyph that makes them look bigger, as they did with the Frost Mage’s Water Elemental.
He was larger. Much larger.
He was originally bigger than most player characters save for Tauren I believe.
I only remember because when I started in BC I saw a Felguard and became so obsessed with reaching high enough level to summon one. I basically no-lifed the game until I got him
Yea, just went and watched an old BC video with Demo. A Fem BE came up to the elbow in height to the Felguard. Overall this was incredibly imposing as the scale of everything else matched the height. Now the Felguard model is only ever so slightly taller than the same character model and considerably smaller in scale everywhere else.
That size difference is so crazy.
IMO he should be big. He’s supposed to be the epitome of a summoner, the big demon more powerful than all the rest.
Sucks he’s so tiny
You now have beast mastery hunters with much bigger pets and taming named/elite beast/bosses.
Problems solved if they just allowed the player to set individual graphic preference to whatever size they find acceptable, but this has been asked for years now… some joker at bliz thinks its funny to see pint sized Felguards running around in group content.
