In order to alleviate some animation bugs with Taivan, we recently reduced the default size of the mount.
This was a temporary measure, and we’re developing fixes for everyone’s goodest good boy. We expect to return Taivan to a larger size in 10.2.7, and we’re planning to test those fixes in an upcoming 10.2.7 PTR build.
We appreciate the enthusiastic feedback we’ve gotten on this!
Great news. I think this shows some value in being more transparent in the future, assuming this was always a temporary measure and not a hastened retreat after all the feedback.
It better be atleast the size of the NPC glares, better if it was the original size though. Also i don’t buy the animation fix with all the other problems some other mounts have. I think you just got backlashed to hell and back.
Can you also give it working wings. I really hate that as hard as this achievement was. It basically awarded a mount that’s almost entirely useless. Even when dynamic flight is added to more mounts. This is still just a ground mount. THe model clearly has wings on it yet it remains grounded. Maybe the animations weren’t done in time who knows but I’d like to see good boy actually be usable in war within. It’s not like expansions of old where we start on ground. Dragonflight and war within START airborn so we’ll never use a ground mount.
I actually made a post recently trying to alleviate the unfortunate current state of ground mount usability if you wanna check it out, I’d love to fly on a massive dog too
