Jojo.6140 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Seeing how everyone just gives feedback on the pegasus skin, i felt the need to write something regarding the new Whale Spirit Glider Skin we got with the latest patch.It is absolutely beautiful! Just how first when you start gliding a single whale jumps above you and splashes into the water before you get the three large whales swimming around you plus the small fishes and seahorses. Its such an epic glider. Its my new favourite glider skin and whoever designed it did a really good job imo.What do others think about it? When it comes to gemstore feedback for the last patch, ive only found opinions for the pegasus griffon, but not for the glider. I hope there doesnt already exist a thread for it.

Hashberry.4510 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Love it. No drop me yet. It reminds of the whales in Fantasia 2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krypto.2069 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Jojo, you are so right! :smile: The Whale Glider is AWESOME! High quality visuals, animations and top-shelf audio effects as well! :smiley: That glider was the reason I took the risk of using some of my keys. I got lucky and snagged it on #19 and was also lucky enough to avoid getting "you know what." :wink: Hahaha!!! :lol: Anet, the Whale Glider is the kind of high quality item we've grown to love, appreciate and expect -- from the cash shop as well as in-game.Thank you! :+1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I like it. Sadly, I did not get it with my measly 2 keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anninke.7469 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I actually got it and didn't even care at first. But then I tried it on one of my branchies and I fell in love. It's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kameko.8314 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yes, when gliders > mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michram.6853 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 As my brother put it: the Reddit's Pegasus situation shows that Gw2 is a joke xD There is some truth in that, there was plenty to talk about, but I guess content is not so important in Gw2 anymore in such a large reddit community and here, so everything is basically a joke, just like that Pegasus or whatever skin that is only a metaphor for it all. Nothing will ever be the same and self fulfilling prophecy about Gw2's soon demise will come true, obviously. Anyway I have a megalophobia so I basically am scared of this glider skin...

Frostfang.5109 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It's absolutely beautiful! It's a pity though that it's in a bltc. I dont want to risk getting a skin i will never use with my 3 keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I haven't even noticed the whale skin.Not surprising that's in the lootboxes though, given that lootboxes target whales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be mis-remembering but I thought I remembered hearing about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think it's absolutely beautiful and I'm annoyed it's in black lion chests. If it had been on the gem store I'd have bought it immediately. I think the animation on it is really well done, the ones I've seen dyed look great and it's a perfect fit for my water themed elementalist (much more so than that over the top ice glider).As it is I've used all the free keys I had saved up and haven't managed to get it (in spite of getting the ice gloves and 2 pegasus mounts). I know that's why Anet do it - the people who buy keys will end up spending more overall this way, but for me it's a great reminder of why I never pay for RNG boxes - I could easily spend more than I wanted to and still not have the item I was hoping to get. (That and I told myself I'd use 5 keys and see how it went, and only actually stopped when I ran out of keys.)I just hope I either get lucky with free keys before it's removed from the chests or I can get enough stattuettes by the time it's available that way.

Yasi.9065 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Gotta say, this glider had me chuckling.Either Anet is very self-aware and cheeky... or rather naive. Anyway I love it, its the perfect skin in a f2p game.... especially in lootboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
