If you did the quests, he is supposed to be large and the basis around his story in finding his place in the centaur society.

Blizz… guys… I have over 840 mounts and I need a mount that I spent an entire freaking expansion working for a meta achievement to be EPIC so it stands out from the rest of the 843! Taivan WAS EPIC! Until you threw him in the dryer & shrank him down to the size of a puppy bakar.
BRING BACK THE EPIC TAIVAN!

I just finished A World Awoken this morning and noticed this change then. Combined with the goofy Centaur saddle on what is, by his own questline, a non-combat dog just removes the entire appeal of the mount. Return his canonical size and remove the character-breaking saddle while you’re at it, Blizzard!

Unshrink the best boy! He deserves to live as he was meant to be, large and fluffy!

WHY?!? It won’t stop me doing the Meta, but why nerf the mount from an expansion-long Meta?

This was a really, really, really, really bad decision on Blizzard’s end. This achievement is a LOT of effort, and the mount was fantastic at its previous size.
If there were clipping or animation issues, fix those. Leave our big puppy alone.

It’s odd that the mount is now smaller than the NPC

Why shrink the big boy? His entire story line is how he is this gentle GIANT (emphasis on GIANT) and a good boy to boot, and to do him dirty like that is just not cool. Please give us back our biggest and bestest of doggos.

Starting to think they have one employee who actively wakes up each morning and spends an hour over coffee asking themselves. “Now then, how can I further piss off the players? I need them to be as miserable as I am.”

If there are really that many people who are disturbed by large mounts, maybe it is time to put in a client side mount size option, then people can choose their experience.

Taivan really wasn’t all that big compared to the AH mount or the tree mount or mammoths or dragons or many others. His size is literally the main focus of his story. They didn’t add any old Bakar as the meta reward they added Taivan.
They have to know how much people really like Taivan. He has a toy to summon him and he shows up in the raft picture taking quests. There his size is large and in character. His mount is an imposter.
If the goofy saddle is what whichever artist didn’t like being so big then change the model to no saddle and restore the size. Taivan doesn’t need a saddle anyways.

Going for the achievement in the hope this will be reverted but it’s one less reason to engage in hours of activity if it isn’t in the near term. That’s what you want right Blizz? me spending time here vs. spending money elsewhere, this is an easy fix/win.
Please revert Taivan back to his original larger size.
I was really looking forward to having my large bakar mount after doing all the work to complete this huge achievement.
Still haven’t fixed the Now THIS is Dragon racing Meta Achievement not giving out the rewards when earned, but they did nerf the giant dog mount. This stuff is why I’m currently running my time out on my sub.

The real Taivan wouldn’t sit still long enough for you to put a saddle on him anyway, he’s too busy licking and playing with you.
