Revert back Wybel skins

[digital bronze]

Youtube kids ahh skin, we already have wybel plushie for former skin so why change it?

[lofty crypt]

Everybody has different tastes for cosmetics, why dont they just give us a way to enable legacy skins

for pets, weapons, and hats

[regal lake]

#1258854753345998848 is calling your naaaaaaaaaaaaaame

fully agreed though the cubes were cute

[worthy latch]

THIS TBH

[digital bronze]

fortunately orange wybel hasnt changed yet

[worthy latch]

why bother to have only one
when you can have both models and switch between legacy and new based on preference

[worthy musk]

i thought ur wybel was named epstein im kinda sad now

[indigo oak]

new thing bad

jk but i do quite like the new ones more

[median meteor]

they could just... release another set of modern wybels

Wow more cosmetics ring ring ring salted nows your chance

[autumn bane]

what the frick is this bro

[deep crag]

hmm i'm kinda split on this but as long as the rats stay cubes thats fine ig

[earnest flame]

2d cutout cardboard of a rat next

[snow shard]

forget what i said about the champ six ap, if the rats lose their shape I will cite salted in my suicide note

[marble kernel]

I mean, they’re still cubes. They just have ears and features that hang off of them more.
Subjective perspective is great, but I just don’t see how you could argue the armor stand heads were better than this

[median meteor]

kinda scary looking and the old ones ha da certain charm to them

[marble kernel]

I still just don’t see it. They were cute before, yeah, but they were stagnant, unblinking models that needed more to them than what they had. The new models are just so much more expressive and pretty to look at, imo

[median meteor]

i think they look rather flat

the lighting is weird

[marble kernel]

Maybe on a few of them, I can see that, but cybel, the dragon one, the angel and devil, and a few of the festival ones are wonderful looking

Pengwybel and the jack o lantern/zombie wybel are super cute, too

The sea one is a calming aqua, but I can argue it needs better lighting. Same with the simpler tier 1 and 2 wybels, where there colors are a bit flatter

The rest are all really nice, though

[dire blade]

I think wynn has a vague dark-fantasy tone that small-eyed more rodent like wybels fit better

[deep crag]

its minecraft, theres nothing wrong with cute cubes. models can be made more animated without making them less cube shaped

[marble kernel]

It did, at one point. It doesn’t anymore, which is fine, but they still pretend that it does, weirdly, so it muddled the tone and left it without a real theme anymore

[marble kernel]

Wynncraft is not Minecraft, man. They’ve been separated from that concept for a while, now. Despite it using the engine, they’ve been making amazing changes to showcase just how far away they want to separate themselves from the base idea of Minecraft, which shows through in its models

[deep crag]

to be clear, not really arguing for or against here. i'm split on whether i like it or not. its closer to the artistic vision, yes, but wybels and rats being just cubes had a charm to it and a recognisability that set them apart from other pets even back in the armorstand model days

[marble kernel]

I believe rats could stay cubes, maybe with a bit more in depth features. Haven’t seen a lot of the new rat models, but, they seem pretty much the same

Wybels always felt like they needed more to them. The way their art depicts them just didn’t sit well with me, when translated to the game. IMO, they’ve always looked how they looked now, in my mind, and I’ve been actively updating their features subconsciously to make it work

[dire blade]

What really gets me is the new face. The events of wynns story just never struck me as writing you would find in big-eyed style cartoon

[marble kernel]

Wybels are interesting, because they don’t really need to adhere to any style. They can look however they please, because they’re aliens. I’d argue it’d be more interesting to see these big eyed cute monsters amongst a sea of eldritch horrors, just to showcase their alien nature more

[dire blade]

Thats actually a really great point, thanks for reminding me of that lad

[marble kernel]

I don’t think wybels as a whole need to be some kind of blueprint to how we update a majority of mobs and pets, but, they work well with what theyve become, and I don’t see much of a reason for them to be as simple as they once were

[marble kernel]

np, mate, I love this games creativity, so it’s fun to talk about it. Just wish it had a more consistent tone with how they plan to develop things, since it’s all over the place

(Also, please make the map more expansive. I swear it’s so densely packed I can’t see where I’m going half the time)

((Would REALLY help sell the whole war and expansive realms thing they’re trying to push…))

[ebon cobalt]

To be fair that exact face of Wybel has been present in official art for ages now, if I remember correctly

Or that design for Wybels
Whatever

Yeah there they are

The top-left one is pretty ancient I think

[hasty atlas]

there was a variant of this model earlier that had an extra layer of fur around it that I think looked better. helped it keep a more round shape, and the extra fluff obscured the whites of the eyes a little more, which helped them feel a little less oversized imo

[deep crag]

i'm curious how they'd look with the old derp eyes, i think size of the eyes and position of the pupils is a part of why it looks off

[autumn bane]

damn these are chopped

[zealous salmon]

Ngl, would actually use Wybels if they sustain this new Wybel model. Looks adorable.

And it'd be funny too. Imagine getting mauled to death by three of these things.

[ebon cobalt]

derp eyes?

[lofty crypt]

like the vanilla cow

[ebon cobalt]

I’m trying to remember a Wybel with derp eyes

Most of them are forward-facing I think

[deep crag]

its literally in the screenshot you sent...

bottom left corner

[marble kernel]

I always thought the glint into the center of the model was the eye, and the dark to the outside of the eye is an outline or something
