My thoughts….
I like the new core hound size =)
I thought that they blocked too much of my view when they were really big.
I wouldn’t mind around Slight size increase however (around 8% the way to where they were), as I think that would make them just about right.
I think the size of the dino is about right for it, though its animations are very strange when it runs.
Biggest issue for me though is the screen shaking some of the pets have now, it makes it hard to select people, and is hard on the eyes after a while.

… wesley… dude… my Core Hound used to be a bit taller than my draenei hunter, and now it’s bellow boob height. We know pets shrink when we tame them, it’s just that this has to do with Blizzard making them smaller than they where once tamed. Not that they didn’t need it, but not by THAT much. =/

All pets shrink when you tame them. It is the way of taming. or if you look at the bright side of it “you get what you pay for”

excuse my language but I think its total SHIT that they keep decreasing the size of the exotic pets!I mean come on you got hat far and accomplished that much its a BIG DEAL so why not have a BIG PET to go with it…ok let’m shrink just uh bit but a Devilsaur should look like a Devilsaur not a damn raptor and a Corehound should be bigger than a Bear!

On another note anyone see the improvements to the Death Knight flying mounts F@#%iN MAJOR upgrade from the boney rubber ducky look they had before.
Go to mmo-champion.com to see them!

OMG 4 times the screen bounce?! That would give me such a headache! It was bad enough doing the kodo roundup quest in desolace and the kodo bouncing the screen. XD

Blizzard needs to make them a bit bigger. The size they are now is pathetic. I don’t see how a level 70 Core Hound is smaller than a level 30 Turtle in Hillsbrad! Heck, while I was in Stormwind, quite a few people came to me to see my Core Hound, and how ridiculously puny it became. While people where watching, I also saw that the Night Elf’s saber mounts and the Human’s horse mounts where bigger than my poor Core Hound!

Come on! That’s just not right! They really need to fix this!

As for the screen bounce you’re asking about Pepsi, it’s even worst than before! Why? Because they made the Core Hounds too small! For one step the huge version made, the new wittle version makes like 4 or 5 steppes! This is making the screen shake at least 4 times more often! Ugh!

Just for a reference with my Tauren Hunters Core Hound (Kratos) the size just seems WAY too small. And yes, The Kurken has Screen bounce but he’s the only one it might be nerfed but who knows *shrugs*

Ok I took my premade out and tamed a few of them.

And… they are a smidge small. Not saying they’re tiny but when you’re a troll (( the premade choice that hunters get)) and you’re taller than it is, it looks a little small. I can see how some could complain. I still like it but yeah it’s __ALOT__ smaller than it was.

Question to all though, Screen bounce.

My green glowy core hound makes thudding steps but doesn’t bounce the screen, which is good. I HATE screen bounce and I won’t have a rhino because of it…. but the white furry core hound HAS screen bounce.

Is this consistant with your experience in taming them or are they going to make my pretty green CH bounce?

And a second question, do all Rhino’s cause screen bounce? The ones I’ve seen do… but with one core hound causing bounce and the other one not.. it’s open that one rhino might and another not.

Pepsi: LMAO I don’t mean pan back *that* far XD I probably do just a few “feet” behind the default max. I’m OCD and can’t stand it when my Drakes wings weren’t full in the picture on max default. I have it set so I get just that extra 1-2 in-game feet for my drake’s wingspan.

Yeah I cant play ‘telescope far” either, makes me dizzy. XD
