The next patch of World of Warcraft brings new models of the Night Elf Sabers. They now look really shaggy!
With new expansions and patches, the graphics of existing models are polished or new “HD” variants of old models are introduced in World of Warcraft from time to time. This is also the case in Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance. Blizzard is now taking on the Night Sabers.
Eight different models: A total of eight models have been found from the Sabers in the game data. The new look has a more pronounced texture with much more detail, but has also received some additional polygons. The Sabers now have significantly more hair on their heads and hind legs. The saddles are also now higher resolution. Overall, the big cats look much “wilder” in direct comparison to the old model.
The colleagues from wowhead have made a video about the new Saber:
This model does not replace the old Sabers: It is important to mention that the new Sabers are not a revision of the old, already available mounts. These will continue to keep their original model and will therefore not be revised. So no one has to say goodbye to their beloved old Saber.
By the way, Night Elves are getting new customizations – they can choose black eyes!
Where can you find the new Sabers? How one becomes the owner of the new Sabers is not yet quite clear. However, it is possible that they will be left behind by rare enemies in the revamped Darkshore. After all, this area is also being revised with the Warfront: Darkshore and will then be interesting for players at max level again.
How do you like the new models of the Sabers? Do you like the revision? Or have you gotten so used to the old Sabers that you won’t switch anyway?
What else the update has in store for you, we have summarized in the extensive overview of Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance.
