I’m not sure is this a proper sub-forum for this topic. If not then feel free to move it somewhere else.

Story:
On of three main classes that I liked to play in GW1 was ranger so I had quite obvious choice on what class should I choose in GW2. (other were necro and dervish) The whole time I spent in GW1 I was accompanied by warthog. I had it with me on each character. That’s why I wanted to grab it in GW2 as soon as I find juvenile version…but what was my disappointment when I discovered that there are no warthogs in GW2.

Problem:
Of course I know that there some animals called this way. But they don’t look like warthogs at all! It’s more like some mix of rat and a barrel. You can see the difference in attachment:

  1. Photo of warthog in the wild.
  2. Screen from GW1 – you may see resemblance to the one from photo.
  3. Screen from GW2 – look at this head…rat’s head with rat’s nose…and this torso like it just ate some barrel…one ugly creature.

Questions:

  1. Could you bring back warthog from GW1 where it looks like it should look?
  2. Why did you change it so much in a first place? It couldn’t be evolution. Even over 200 years are nothing for evolution.

I agree! Warthog in GW 2 really looks worse than the one in GW1.
Maybe new pig is some kind of mutant?

Oh c’mon. Almost no feedback? I’m starting to think that “Suggestion” is new name for “Off-topic” or “Spam” – sub-forums where no one really reads anything…

I know this issue is not some important one when compared to all the bugs and account problems but it really made be sad. And no explanation is even worse. How should I get some AN answer here? Should I report it as a bug in game itself? But then I’m pretty sure it would be ignored.

I would like to see at least model from GW1 with it’s low-res textures and not too many polygons. It would look as warthog at least…

they most likely used an image like

or this

to base their skin off of . Remember unlike in GW1 you’re taming a Juvenile warthog not a fully grown one. I’m not saying its perfect but I’m not going to turn into chicken little either .

If that was in fact true then they would have really bad artists because pics you’ve provided shows as nothing like what is in game right now. Look at the way that real warthog have his head. It looks almost like it is above it’s torso. And one from GW2 doesn’t have it like that at all.
There’s a even better screen on wiki that shows how much GW2 warthog is not a warthog at all. Look at it’s head…it doesn’t have any hair there…

Funny thing is that I didn’t make screenshot of juvenile version. It’s adult that walks north from Black Citadel where I was exploring with my Charr.
