Sparkle kitty

Dear Blizzard, ily btw

You said you were NEVER bringing back chad bear insert a taylor swift song I can’t think of rn - I never agreed with that but okay. Years later you bring back a recolored chad bear (btw it should remain a challenge - plz don’t nerf it!) but, why didn’t you bring back a sparkle kitty? why?

I have this, ugh, way of how I do things. I got chad bear on a few accounts bc the most awesome skeleton in game (imo) but for this account I never did sparkly kitty bc I was like, I’m never playing druid on this account. Oof. Feral was such an ez boss. Almost a hand out. That sparkle trail!! Why would you take away such beautiful animation???

I BEGGED for chadbear to be brought back bc I thought it was unfair bears had these blobs and couldn’t work towards chadbear again - I’m glad you brought it back.

Anyway, sparkle kitty is gorgeous. Why didn’t you bring back a feral skin but the bear? It makes no sense.

Please give us a cute kitty with the sparkles next MT go around.

Because sparkle kitty wasn’t a unique rig. It’s just a cat with sparkles like all of the other cats. The unique model cats got was meowl form. But cats never got a unique rig.

I’d suggest rereading why the brought that rig back to understand better.

I like you.

But, I disagree. That sparkle animation is gorgeous and its so sad it won’t possibly be brought back. Chad bear is way neater, imo. But, sparkle kitty is gorgeous and to keep such pretty animation away forever- when they went against what they originally said bringing back the Mage tower - it makes no sense.

They probably can’t bring back the original, but maybe they can do a new color/tint, like with the bear.

Guardian favoritism. :bear:

It is. Maybe one day. I’m also sad that they haven’t really done anything with Moonkin/Balance in terms of forms.

All this bb! Yes! A recolor like the bear is fair and square. They said the bear was never coming back. They brought it back! No other feral kitty has that sparkle like the original MT one.

Feral should have gotten something for mage tower cause they primarily stay in druid forms balance even more who didnt even get anything the first mage tower.

They didn’t go against what they said. They never brought back the skins, they brought back a reskin of the rig.

I understand you like 80s cat, but it’s just a cat with sparkles. And it does make sense.

During Legion, the Mage Tower awarded most specs a new weapon appearance, yet players who missed earning those still have countless other admirable weapon transmogs to collect across the whole of the game. But for Guardian druids, the Mage Tower prize was an alternate bear form with a unique silhouette and animations. There is simply nothing else like it in the game. For years, we’ve heard feedback from druid players who are frustrated that something so transformative is no longer available, and we agree.

looks for a sparkle kitty reskin

Here you go!

Because this is 80s cat:

I actually think the primal stalker is prettier

but

sparkles!!!

They said they were NEVER bringing back chad bear - they did!! Why in Azeroth would they not give us a sparkle kitty too?

You seem to be misunderstanding how this works.

Blizzard reused the base rig of the bear to make a new skin.

Feral rig is the same rig as every Legion cat rig. There is no different rig to reskin.

I think what’s tripping you up is the difference between rigs, skins and recolors.

No bae, it’s the sparkles - gorgeous animation.

They brought back the MT after saying they NEVER would! If they brought back a recolored chadbear then they should bring back a recolored sparkle kitty.

And that’s the skin. They aren’t bringing back the skins. They never did bring back the skins. They have, however, reskinmed the rigs. Even the weapons got reskinned. Have you checked out the new 9.2 weapons? Some of those are reskins of the artifact weapons. So was the bear a reskin. But there is no cat reskin, because there’s already reskins of that rig.

What you want is a recolor of an animation. You can see how that’s not going to happen, yes? Because that would just be one of the colors of the same exact animation and cat.

BUT!

Maybe they could do some sort of different style of animation on a meowl type skin. Or a new cat skin. Maybe in 10.0? I think if we ask for a cool different animation on a different model, you might have more traction with Blizz.

Recolored animation.

My point is, if they brought back the Skeleton of the bear they should bring back the sparkles for the cat :pleading_face:

I really can’t spell out the huge difference any more than I already have.

So I’ll just restate this part and wish you good luck, m’dear!

I wish you luck too.

I know so many bears that are angry the skeleton was brought back. I do not share that feeling. I’m glad ppl can “work” towards it.

I just want sparkles.

In my mind, it doesn’t make sense we can’t get sparkles

Should I have laughed at this statement? Because I feel bad that I did.

I personally don’t think they’ll bring back the Feral forms from Legion in any capacity really, as much as I wish they would.

BUT

What they maybe could do as an alternative would be to make a version glyph of stars for Feral and Guardian, making it a toggle in the barbershop that can be applied to any of the forms a player has.

Alternatively the could also make soulshape animations/effects in the same manner as they did for travel forms for Druids. I’ve also seen a similar request for Shamans and their Ghostwolf.

I know these things don’t have much to do with MT, but I like to think they’d offer something similar, working off of other aspects of the game that we already have and something having to contend with the MT.
