@SkySports_Keith Is there anything in the rumours a week ago for Woltemade?

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@Jordob @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Zirene @Warcraft I'm good, I work on YouTube so I'm used to 1% negative comments. You grow a thick skin to it all. We find it amusing.

@IratusHM @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Zirene @Warcraft Says the dude with a cat picture. The irony. Be kinder.

@Ra_ra_kesh @Zirene @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Warcraft I wasn’t asking the “rest of the world” to be reminded of my dog. I explained why I was attached to the original.

Turning someone mentioning a dead pet into an excuse to mock them says far more about you than it does about my feedback.

I also prefer they retain wow spell efxs.

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@RendDarkhand @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Zirene @Warcraft @Wowhead It wasn’t an emotional argument, it was context for why I care. My argument is that a 20+ year old iconic Classic visual shouldn’t be changed unnecessarily. WoW is built on decades of memories and attachment. Pretending that has no place in player feedback is bizarre.

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@Spotnick @Zirene @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Warcraft That's or glyph system, considering the more spectral ghost wolf is actually a glyph in retail.

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@Ra_ra_kesh @Zirene @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Warcraft Just a quarter of a century it's been the same wolf efx except upgrading the model in WoD(?).

Imagine being wrong for 25 years.

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@Zirene @Wowhead Not to take it away. I never said I wanted the new form to go, I just said could we get an option for both. That's the essence of classic+, it's to add to the game, not remove.

It's a slippery slope to start changing spell effects, why not update them all if that's the case?2/2

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@Zirene As my comment got highlighted from @wowhead I've had a fair bit for abuse sent my direction.

The final thing I'll add before bowing out is, as Blizzard have said, “preserving the timeless art style of original Azeroth.”

The point of classic+ or Forever is to add content. 1/2

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@dedryze The irony

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@PovialJunk 2004-2026 the ghost wolf has been the same apart from a wolf model upgrade.

That's a pretty long time to suddenly change something and remove the original.

I'm sure there's something you'd be tickled about if they changed it. Have a think?

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@RendDarkhand @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Zirene @Warcraft I love how @Wowhead showcasing my tweet has caused so many to start attacking me on social media due to giving my feedback.

Ghost Wolf has always been the same default. I have, like many others have grown attachment to wow over the years and prefer it to stay the same.

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@dedryze @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Zirene @Warcraft You realise apart from the wolf model upgrade, it's always resembled the same ghost wolf since 2004-now?

You can glyph the ghost wolf in retail, but the original is still the same color. You're swearing at me, I literally asked for both to be kept. Are you feeling alright?

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@Zirene @Kaghoegames @WarcraftDevs @AggrendWoW @Marmstrongwow @Warcraft Thank you so much! 🙏

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@laurendorwow @Grymmhain @seanapse @AggrendWoW That's shaman, we use multiple elements. Are you going to lose your mind that Elemental now has lava burst and not justing Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning?

How about shocks? Are we just going to have one shock now? We can't possibly have Frost/Fire and Earth. :/

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@laurendorwow @Dastion @AggrendWoW Variety has always been Shaman visual identity

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@laurendorwow @Dastion @AggrendWoW TBC didn’t make Chain Heal watery. Even the 3.0.2 change was described as making it “more nature-like,” not water. The water-focused Chain Heal came much later with Legion’s Resto visual overhaul.
Old Shaman healing wasn’t “everything is water.” That’s the point.

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@Dastion @laurendorwow @AggrendWoW For the first 3 expansions it has the nature effect. Druids and Shaman are nature classes, it makes a perfect sense.

It took the 7th expansion to remove golden chain heal, but even then you could glyph it.

I prefer the nature theme, why update it? It makes sense.

[The Toon Pivot @TheToonPivot]

@laurendorwow Your original tweet stating that shamans heal just through water is wrong.

I played back in 2004, it looks great then and great now.
