Looks like they're so unpopular Anet is giving them away 2-for-1!
(This is actually a bug with the black lion chests, getting one should remove it from the drop table, and yes I've contacted support. The annoying part is I only wanted the whale glider.)
It would go pretty cool with my Guardian, but I'm not sure about this model.
How come some skins change the mount aspect entirely, such as the humming bird for skimmer, but this one looks like a wrapped first layer on top of alpha texture?
With the new patch, a 2000 gemstore griffon skin came out that is supposed to look like a pegasus. It has horse back legs and a horse 'face' but it came out looking really weird.
That would be so much better. The muzzle needs to be shorter and squatter, head higher and the legs longer like this. ( Doesn't /need/ all hooves to imo. Hippogriff is ok.)
This is why you look at a reference when making art, or you get this amalgamation of a skin.
It supposed to be a pegasus but, it looks like a hippogriff that got a horn shoved into its head. I can tell you guys worked hard on this skin but, it needs a redo.
this is where one would say, "be careful what you ask for". Seriously , i cant believe they actually came up with this, then sat back and went, "yeah, that looks awesome, they will love it"!!

So. I heard that there was a new mount skin. I was excited. So I went to take a look, whereupon I had a few thoughts from run through my head. Here are a few:
"It looks like a unicorn with microcephaly mated with a hippogriff."
"It looks like someone looked at The Dreamer and said 'You know what would be awesome? This. But worse.'"
"I feel so terrible for the devs, because somewhere out there a small team is feeling very kitten upon for something they worked very hard on. I think what happened is they worked so hard on the individual bits, that they forgot to step back and look upon the whole before burning it."
"I can do better than that. Hey, you, pick up a nearby object. Cool, see? I just did better."
I may be a mean person, but at least I didn't bring this abomination into existence, that's just pure animal cruelty.
Wow, someone read my mind! Ugh! LOL
Its a cross between a horse, griffon, cow, unicorn, peacock -- oh my... LOL
My question is; Why are we mixing a HIPPOGRYPH with a UNICORN and calling it a PEGASUS? >.<
Also, the face.. it needs fixing. Serious fixing. Call a plastic surgeon for that poor excuse of a "horse". Also, remove the cloth around the neck and/or make it not use the same dye channel as the glow effects.

One of the other thoughts that went though my mind was, "oh look that's nice, they gave some crayons to one of the Developers children on "Bring your child to work day" and promised that their creation was going to appear in the game before actually seeing the picture they drew"
I can see that perhaps they're limited to the geometry/movement of the Griffon, but as others have already pointed out, some of the work they have done with other mount types, such as the Hummingbird with the Skimmer model and the Stag with the Jackal model are simply superb.
Oh my god. I didn't think it was that bad in pictures, but I just got home and logged on, and...my god. I'm cracking up right now. Holy kitten it is so bad. What the actual kitten lmao!
Glad I'm not the only one. Was going to use my BL keys but I'm gonna wait until they change the selection just so I don't accidentally spend a key on this "thing".

it would have been easier to "hide" the griffon model they can't circumvent. Either you then had a sort or horse disguise by a griffon instead of skritt or actually use the skritt in the design. Add the wings and tail of a griffon in a way that it fits. They could even still have gone with the unicorn horn if they want it that much. But ye the disguise would have hid the whole body shape of the griffon as its simply never going to match a horses. Even the legs in such "costume" wouldn't be such a problem I think.
Umm ? Hello design team? What are you doing? I was [] <--- THIS close to spending money on this game and buying the Pegasus mountskin because that was something i was waiting for and then you messed it up by putting bird feet on the front of a horse. Why would you do that? Who approved of that ? Like come on.... Just wanted a genuine horse mount and you put duck feet on the thing... come on now....
Not the Leader of " I will make you [QQ] ", just some how a mascot who everyone loves to hate.
it kinda feels like one of their artist teams begged to be allowed to make a aligrifficorn, and got permission, BUT....... was only allowed to spend ~5 man-hrs (total) on it ....
and this was the best they could do with the limited time available.
One of the worst mount skins to date, if not the worst.
Don't you have any quality control? Who approves this?

Something has been bugging me about this "Pegasus" model and where have I seen one on my computer before, more importantly I was wondering if there was some way that Anet could have found some inspiration when creating their model. This morning I remembered.

Are you able to share the image? On my Windows 10 machine I just get an error page inserted into the library telling me it shut down on the 10th. Now I'm curious what it looked like but have no way to find out.
I was thinking this could have been their April 1st prank, I think that would have actually caused some laughs (and upset people at first). I hope the sales of this mount will reflect the sentiment of this thread, and that they will get their stuff together again.
It was a great looking mount skin, UNTIL you see the feet and other features of the griffin. No wonder most of the conversations in map/say/guild/squad chats was overwhelmingly negative. Get rid of the Griffin aspect and this is a mount skin well worth buying or obtaining
See folks, thats what happens when you want to create something that everyone knows how it looks like and what its supposted to look like, but instead you persistently want to create something different, to show how distinctive you are.
Just dont, pegasus is a horse with wings, stay to the pattern, just like BDO, WoW and others. It works, people like it, and noone cries because "ugh, again horse with wings, maybe use your brain and create something new, dont copy already existing things".
Dont mind me, I just randomly spam 35 skill-buttons 25.02.2020 edit - Nevermind, now I spam only 29 skill-buttons
Can you imagine a pegasus sticking to the side of a cliff? lol. Griffon is the most logical choice for the physics. I would have switched to main griffon if they had gotten the skin right.
Weren't people also asking for a "horse" mount that looks like the one that's just Skritt in a horse costume? What's under that bulky horse blanket on the neck area?
But I don't want to pick on this pterippi, it looks like it can actually hear everyone calling it pterrible, the poor thing. It's like the person who to worked on this deliberately crafted that Eeyore look in its eyes just to say "Yeah, I know what you're thinking".
People said they wanted a Pegasus griffon.
Anet gave them a Pegasus griffon.
Or anyway, a Pegasus skin stretched out over Griffon bones. @becarefulwhatyouaskforyoumaygetit

I dont think they understand any part.
For me, the "issues" with the skin is actually very simple - it's a matter of proportions. It sits too low with too chubby front legs, which just makes it look weird and reminds me of a potbelly pig. Their concept art looks much more proportional with slimmer front legs and sitting slightly higher.
That people want it to be a horse is just silly.

That actually looks weirder to me. It might just be the angle but the legs look too short for the body (especially the back legs) and the wings just look tacked on, which I know is how a pegasus normally looks but I prefer the ones where the wings meld into the body better and/or they include some suggestion of muscles to move them. Of course the GW2 one gets around that by having most of the body hidden so you can't clearly see how the wings connect.
that ears are too long, look more like a mule or donkey lol
just being super picky here
the length of the ear really depends on the breed of horse
I think BDO's pegasus is pretty spot on, the length of the ear is pretty much identical in length of the top of the head to the top of the eye
perhaps the right ear is stretched a bit due to artificial wide angle lens distortion

Im just going to suggest that Pegasus dont have horns and Unicorns dont have curved almost d*k shaped horns either. Why should it have this "thing" stuck to its head??? LOL seriously! Just remove the horn or make it the correct type at least.
@Andy.5981 said:
Well if Dr. Frankenstein had to make a Pegasus from left over parts this is probably the result.
Has ANYONE at Anet ever seen the Tristar Pictures Logo?!?! That is a Pegasus.
This is very very poor.
It's not supposed to be a normal Pegasus, it's supposed to be the Tyrian version of a Pegasus, which ArenaNet can make look any way they want, and honestly, it's called a Sacred Pegasus Griffon, which means it's a combination of a Pegasus with a Griffon(and a little Unicorn thrown in for good measure), so it looks the way it does because that's the name of it. Had it been just a Pegasus then I would have described the skin as a Sacred Pegasus Skin for Griffon, not thrown in Griffon before the word Skin.
Yes...no...maybe...what do you want, can't you see I'm busy saving the world...AGAIN!
