It may be tin foil hat and all but i really think that might be the case. Some dev or higher is disgruntled as hell and wants to mess with players.

I knew that was coming. Why I was in no hurry to get that done. No way they were just going to let people just have a fun big mount like that.

I don’t think this is the case, but we can’t exactly rule it out either. A lot of their fumbles lately just come across as genuinely not knowing what the players actually want.
If you get a copy of an npc, it’s going to shrink some.
Just how they do it.
Whats incredible is on reddit there was a thorough breakdown of Taivan’s animation flaws and not one mention of it being too big. I’m sure some people wished it to be smaller but there was no outcry for it - I bet the majority like it.
As seen with 9.1.5 they know what players want but actively ignore it until they have a giant scandal.

They are probably long overdue for another massive scandal of some kind.

If thats true, why are the KSM mounts as big as they are? Hell they are even bigger than the normal NPCS and prolly as big as the elite ones.

Watch next they chop the wings off of Zovaal’s soul eater.
Did you think they would leave fun being detected, haha?

I dunno what their priorities are, but every week it feels like they’re trying to make the end of DF worse. Blizz needs some W’s before players start pausing subs until TWW in August.

Well i just checked and the bug that lets you have a multiple story tall velocidrake still exists. But this is what they fix

You can get them bigger than the airship to the dragon isles still.

All I know is that Blizz likes to change the size when an npc character becomes a pet, mount or w/e.
It’s usually a somewhat smaller version but I guess it could go the other way too.
You’re right about that.
I think that people don’t like the fact that it wasn’t released that way. The side by side photo from above doesn’t look like “somewhat smaller” to me. /shrug

There was hardly a reason to do so in the first place considering many other mounts released this expansion are bigger than Taivan. Also to note the shrinking of Taivan did not fix his animations and even broke his saddle as it now just floats on him and clips into his back in his running animation.

I can’t say for sure, but I think this might be impacting all dog like mounts. Saw one at the Faire tonight and was struck by the weird smallness. Assumed it was a toy of some sort, but perhaps not, and maybe its just really obvious with Taivan. It didn’t occur to me to check my own wolf mounts.
