Grand Marshal.4098 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Well, we gotta make it through with the Marauder, the Sand Lions and the Saber Claw in WvW ig. Inb4 the next warclaw skin is yet another puke-worthy shiny recolour of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentMoore.9453 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I've seen a lot of remarks to the effect of 'PvE players don't have Warclaw so they made it a Jackal' but uh.. I'm a PvE player and I have a Warclaw.Its primary function is running between objectives, carrying players with supply, and pulling on gates - it's a beast of burden. Applying an ox skin to a mount like that seems like a huge no-brainer. I find WvW to basically be PvE with occasional PvP combat, so WvW and PvE are essentially the same thing to me, hence how I was able to get the mount without much trouble.I hope that future hoofbeasts are assigned to Warclaws, but after seeing the deer skin and now an ox be given to Jackal, those hopes aren't super high.

Only Anet has the stats on that which is why I believe that they made this decision so as to make the skin available to a larger percentage of the player base, thus more sales. /shrugI'm a PvE player and I have the warclaw, too.

Sylvyn.4750 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Anet would probably make more money with the same resources if they made some of these skins dual-purpose...have the ox be both a Warclaw and a Jackal skin and allow players to make an irrevocable choice at the time of purchase which mount they want to apply it to.

Tekoneiric.6817 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Cool skin but the jackal is the one mount I use the least. I don't think I've used the jackal in over a month. It would have made much more sense on the warclaw.@Sylvyn.4750 said:Anet would probably make more money with the same resources if they made some of these skins dual-purpose...have the ox be both a Warclaw and a Jackal skin and allow players to make an irrevocable choice at the time of purchase which mount they want to apply it to.I'd like to see it be a dual skin as well. Another I've though could be a dual skin is the raptor skin Gallant Lightbearer. It could be a springer skin with a bit of tweaking on the animation. It would need to set back on it's haunches for vertical jumps and bunny hop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had times when I've loaded slowly into a map and have seen the base model appear first and then is replaced a second or two later with the new one. It looks like the one model is being swapped for a completely new one rather than just the skin being replaced over the body. Maybe that applies only to the ones that have a very different outline from the base model... from jackal to ox in this case. If they can code jackal to ox, then why not warclaw to ox?

Temujin.7356 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 It seems like we should have the Sand Lion mount skin be a Jackal instead of the Warclaw and the Noble Auroch mount skin be the Warclaw not Jackal. Couldn't Anet just switch them so we can get some continuity? The sand from the Sand Lion makes sense to be Jackal and I'd love to see a group of Bulls in WVW charging around (like the running of the bulls). Makes a better gaming quality of life don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 They can't just switch them. people have bought them for those respective mounts. I'm certainly not against dual purposing them/duplicating them for a different mount and I'd like an Auroch Warclaw too, but switching is a huge no no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 You’d be better off asking for a Bull skin for Warclaw than asking for people’s purchases to be altered without their permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 They can’t switch them now, but I agree it is a little odd.The sand warclaw skin we got could literally not have been more perfect for the jackal. The jackal is a desert beast that teleports using sand. Then we have a sand lion, also from the desert, but... warclaw. Don’t get me wrong I’m very happy to see the Warclaw getting more skins but it was an odd choice.Then along comes this skin which is thematically perfect for what the Warclaw is.No big deal in the end but hopefully next time anet will swap them around to a more logical pairing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veprovina.4876 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 They can't switch them unless they refund every purchase that wishes it.But yeah, the bull should have been a Warclaw.It's just common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farohna.6247 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Agree that it would make a wonderful warclaw (still love it for pve and great fun hopping about on it)...how about a different four legged friend for wvw. Let's say a ram, where a warclaw can pull down walls, ram could help batter them in a similar fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XerMeLL.6042 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Anet, next time you google first the animal before giving it a new skin. Jackals have horns, wow. I will not be surprised in the year of the Monkey you will have a Monkey Griffon and in the year of the Rooster you'll have a Rooster Jackal.It's clearly a WARCLAW and I CANT GET OVER IT!!!

The jackals attack animation is bounce and knock into something, while warclaw spead the arms and slash into the enemy, which one works better for an ox？?

DaFishBob.6518 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm sure the argument over this skin being for Jackal over Warclaw would take a significant turn if it gained a new animation based on the Jackal's howl and go "MOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
