Spooky Skimmer Mount Skin - Reins Stretching Issue

I just noticed while customizing my Spooky Skimmer Mount, that the reins on the spooky skin are bugged. They behave like rubber and seem to be attached to parts of the mount's body, which might be the reason why they are being stretched like that.

This issue does not exist on the orginal mount skin.

Since the Skimmer skin is one of the main reasons I even got the mount pack, I hope there will be a fix for that, especially since the free skin coming with the expansion does not show that behaviour.

EDIT:The body part the rein texture is attached to is the pipe-like organ the skimmer uses to blow air out of (sorry, no idea what would be a fitting English term for that). Here's a video showing the issue:

For your issue, after you enable the spooky skin in your mount panel, you need to go to your dye panel and then switch to the mount (hoof) tab. This way you are dying your mount and not your character. You can then dye the selected mount to get a look different from the skin's default dyes.

Oooh, did not realize I could dye them! Thanks a ton!

I checked this out in-game as I couldn't really see what you were describing in the video.I found that if I look straight down I can more easily see what you are describing, and yes, the buckle of the harness is mistakenly attached to the bladder/exhaust/propulsion element of the Skimmer mount on the Spooky skin and not on the default mount skin.

On the default skin the buckle sits flush against the side of the mount and is not affected by the expanding and contracting of the propulsion bladder.

On the Spooky skin, the buckle is attached to a node on the nearby flexing bladder so it pulls on the buckle and stretches it in and out.

Thanks for checking and the better worded description :)

I know the video isn’t optimal. Maybe I’ll try to update my post with videos from different angles and use different colors on the mount to make it more visible.

However, the buckle I actually only noticed while I was already making the video. The reins show the same problem and are also attached to the bladder - which was the more eye-catching problem I initally noticed.

EDIT 2017-11-07:

This issue was resolved with today's patch - probably someone noticed it when creating the new mount skins.

Thank you!
