New felhunters are A+, I likely wont use em (at least on this character) cause the default ones are kind of perfect renditions of the classic felhunters but this bodes very well for the rest of the demons. The light purple skin works really well for some kind of void twisted aberration.
It looks like maybe the new high rez models are themed by spec—green fel for demo, orange fire for destro, and purple shadow for aff. I am looking forward to seeing the new voidwalker colors. There will probably be a green one like the felfire elemental. Orange would probably look too much like a shaman’s fire elemental. A shadowflame voidwalker with the new spell effects, however, would be beautiful. Hopefully we’ll get some other voidwalker recolors that represent additional dark magic themes—deep red for blood magic and that sickly cyan of drust soul magic and decay.
Edit: I am also partial to the voidcaller model, which is a voidwalker wearing a shroud and carrying two lanterns, with what looks to be void naaru crystals floating on its back. That would be especially cool thematically for draenei.
Bad news, so it’s a NO for any new demon I guess =/
WARLOCK
Glyph of the Observer is being deprecated and will no longer be an available customization option for felhunters.
Developers’ note: With the arrival of the new warlock pet customization system coming in Fractures in Time, we will deprecate the Glyph of the Observer customization.Our reason for this is to ensure that each demon retains a similar silhouette across all available customizations, so that each demon and the functionality or power they provide to the warlock is easily understood by other players as well as the warlock.
This is made even more confusing, by the 1000s of hunter pets available, yet there is no concern for readability between specs there? Do you know how many unique models of Tenacity pets there are? 20 pet families, with multiple models/silhouettes per family.
If they make sure to tie specific models to specific roles, they can still keep the silhouettes for each role, as you lined out in the original post way back in July 2020. It’s a poor excuse in today’s game, and sounds like a coverup for being lazy or overworked… or somehow both.
