They shrunk the good boy!

And the “mount was too big” argument doesn’t really work when we’ve got Brutosaurs, oversized dragons, kodos, etc.

They should have just left him big, it’s literally the one thing Taivan is known for (well, other than being a support animal but people don’t always read quests).

Yea ive stated that above lol.

Now the saddle is to big and hovers above him, it clips during his run animation and your feet still go through the saddle.

This is sadly the case with a lot of mounts.

They need to have some interns go and fix all the saddles and sitting animations lol.

In case someone wanted visual idea.

The left is pre-change.

The right looks bigger cause I can’t get the camera angle right lol. But just look at the size of my character in relation to Taivan.

I have some of mine up above that has a pretty good angle on how big he actually was, Vs him on a tauren, after his size nerf.

Like, I understand it looks better that we fit in the saddle now.

But it felt better when he was his big self.

They should’ve fixed character models to fit better, not change his model, but current devs take the easy way out.

Yep. Exactly.

I mean its actually worse now that hes smaller, his animation is way off and clips waaaay too much now.

It’s just like they slapped a saddle on him, used the wolf run animation and called it a day.

Off-season (bulk), competition season (cut). Northern hemi is getting close to summer :upside_down_face:

But yes, odd change to a mount.

Can someone explain to me why Blizz devs hate fun so much?

Because they can. They don’t really need a specific reason.

Changes like this remind me why I shouldn’t bother with lengthy achievements if the reward is just gonna get made worse for no reason.

Woah there. How dare you use in-game lore to reveal blizzs hypocrisy?!

Fun detected and love and adoration for the adorable giant boofer. Blizzard shall never be forgiven for this transgression!

His whole thing is a gentle giant he’s way bigger than others like him. Him being shrunken down is just wrong.

Blizzard is macrophobic!

It’s not truly Taivan if he’s not a big floof! It’s an imposter!

This is so sad. It just looks like any wolf mount now. Please change it back it was such a cool mount, now it’s not worth anything :frowning:

I dont know about you people but i love his new size! I felt he was to big earlier

Then use one of the other hundred wolf mounts that look like that

Taivan’s entire thing in ohnaran plains was that he was a gigantic dog
