Hey y’all
The new warlock pet customization system is currently implemented. As it stands right now, the “names” of our greater demons (Fel Imp, Shivarra, Wrathguard, and Voidlord, noting once more that Observer being removed sucks A LOT and should be reverted) are LOST in the new system.
Eg my Fel Imp’s name on Live is named Fizle while my default Imp is Jubjub
Right now, my imp is ALWAYS named Jubjub. I lose Fizle forever.
Similarly, my Voidwalker is Thulgore. My Voidlord is Metasius. I lose Metasius forever.
The Succubus and Shivarra are likewise affected: My Shivarra Aliriah is lost forever and has the name of my baseline succubus, Elerrah, while my Incubus Hesomen (lol) retains his name entirely.
Likewise, even though we have Shadow Succubus and Fel Succubus learned on any given spec on Live, it appears that we have to relearn it on PTR regardless of such.
Presumably this is a bug, as my Wrathguard retains his name on PTR separate from the Felguard entirely.
But confirmation of such would be greatly appreciated.
I personally think it would be best for each separate demon appearance to have its own name rather than the same name with different appearances, to drive home the RP-factor that we are summoning different demons via different grimoires.
Reiterating once more that removing the Observer sucks terribly, and quite frankly having the Doomguard there feels silly given that ain’t nobody using Ritual of Doom.
The Doomguard demon type should be how Demo customizes Demonic Tyrant and how Aff customizes Darkglare IMHO.
Hyperfixating on silhouette really guts this entire system from the get-go and leaves dozens of demon AND ABERRATION models gathering dust.
Eg Aranansi (spider women demons), Imp Mothers, the wide variety of Moarg demons, etc
Additionally, strongly suggest (for the sake of RP and cool factor) letting the demon customization screen appear with our warlock trainers and maybe a floating grimoire in Dreadscar Rift.
Please think of Fizle, Metasius, Aliriah, and (most importantly) Gorgok
