Alternate skins discrepancy

Post by Solitha » June 12th, 2019, 10:07 pm

Probably not a bug, more an oversight perhaps?

I'm kind of on a tear to collect All The Things, including breed/skin variations to the extent allowed. But I've noticed some pets have all their skins listed as "Alternate skins" and some only have ones that differ from the main displayed model.

Example of all skins listed: https://www.warcraftpets.com/wow-pets/b ... kes/adder/
Example of only differing skins: https://www.warcraftpets.com/wow-pets/f ... wisp-moth/

My personal preference would be towards the Adder type. But sometimes the differences are very small, so having a consistent way of displaying it (either way) would be better.

Agreed. I'd prefer for all the skin colours to be listed in one row, rather than one at the top and the rest underneath. It's much easier to check what colours you do and don't have, without accidentally missing the alt looks.

Heh, here it is four years later.

I'm making a determined pass through my pet collection, and I see that this is still a problem. Is there any chance this will ever be corrected so all listings are set up the same?

This is an ongoing process, as a lot of the older pets require additional images for alternate skins. There are about 22 more pet pages to update, but then we should be all caught up!

Oh, awesome! Thank you for the update!

Since this is in suggestions, and you guys are dealing with the skins... is there any chance you'd be able to link the pets BY their skins? So that, say, you can click on the Silky Moth's blue/purple skin and see what other moths share it. Or maybe a visual gallery.

I know there have been efforts to collate and organize these by various folks but it seems like they've all fallen out of date over time.
