Iā€™m curious why people wouldnā€™t assume it was a bug in the first place and report it as such. I mean, itā€™s not like we donā€™t have bugs galore right now that theyā€™re working to correct.

A full model swap is a fairly unlikely bug. Not impossible, but more likely an intentional change.

Fun detected. Fun removed.

Smoochums was by far my favorite companion in the game and was what I looked forward to the most in BFA no joke. I liked that his model stood out compared to other ā€˜ghostā€™ models that appeared so faded and on top of that, he was cute! I showed everyone, I thought he was so dang cute. When I summoned him after patch I was just, disappointed. Heā€™s so faded and a full model change, heā€™s just not the same companion anymore. It was disappointing that after my grind I get a whole new cat but I am happy I had the cute model while it lasted.

I jokingly turned to my boyfriend and told him this is why everyone hates BFA so much.

Feels bad.

Iā€™m not so quick to believe itā€™s an intentional change since thereā€™s no reason for it, and such bugs have happened before.

Someone probably just needs to tweet Muffinus and draw his attention to it to get an answer.

If it was intentional change to make Smoochums from adorable poof to generaic most people have 6 of kitty. Then can we have a refund of atleast 150 charms please?

While adorable heā€™s not 200 charms adorable with something we could go catch or buy for 50 silver in the human area.

Its one of those pointless changes that fix nothing, and that nobody has asked for. Im still mad when they changed the color of the blade of misfortune for no discernable reason when Legion started. That sword had been red for nearly a decade, now its purple. No reasoning behind it, no need for the ā€˜fixā€™ but they changed it. They need to learn to leave things alone.

It warms my heart that so many people are rallying for this cause. Smoochums has suffered so much in life. Please, Blizz, please donā€™t ruin him.

I have reported it as a bug but so far there has been no official statement about whether it is an intentional change. We could ask Jeremy Feasel about it, I suppose: heā€™s heavily involved with battle pet development.

I just checked in game and this is horrible. I want my Smoochums back! That poor cat went through enough and now even in death he finds no peace. I am outraged.

Iā€™m assuming they accidentally changed the model when they added the glowy blue ghost effect thing, so itā€™s half intentional and half unintentional.

I sincerely hope itā€™s a bug and theyā€™ll revert his model.

No, I donā€™t have him. Iā€™ve been saving up my charms. But thatā€™s irrelevant to the issue. People buy specific pets more for the look than the stats. This wasnā€™t an old pet model that got updated. It was a new model that got switched. It ainā€™t right to do that sort of thing, Blizz. Switch him back asap.
