You can find more than enough people having the same issue with top of the line computers, but for some reason u choose to ignore it.I'm not the only one having this and u theres even a couple in this post claiming to have the same issue and they're running with a more than capable machine.

Wish we could get a comment on this matter from arena-net's developers

and there you are wrong. Your computer's performance means everything. I have a beefy machine, I don't see the issue. And I play on LINUX. But since my Gw2.dat is on a m2 ssd, loading models is not a problem. then upgrade your hardware. Default is default. Always loaded, always in memory. Your gemstore item is not. Either get more memory, put gw2.dat on a ssd or best: do both. Voila, no more loading issues. I agree that having a good machine minimize the issue. my problem is that it shouldn't be the way for us to fix it, i think its fair ask from the developers to create a decent code that doesn't require the majority of the play base to have good computers so that skins will actually load like they should, if my computer can load default skin no reason it wont load the premium skin just as fast , if others games can do it no reason Guild Wars 2 should fall behind.

Never tried to compare them, Gave WoW as a example for how mount "skins" should be implemented, not the mount itself. I think gw2's take on mount is exceptional and other games should take it as an example as to how mounts should be.If you wish to discuss more on this subject feel free to PM me in game, but quite frankly i'm tired repeating myself over and over.

Haha I guess your right.Its all a matter of perspective, When you see how much time and money we're investing to these "small things" suddenly they become not so small Firstworldproblemshaha see if u can catch me

I'll make it clear in case it wasn't, i'm not trying to disrespect the craftsmanship of the developers i'm simply asking for an upgrade where it fits, Considering the amount of focus this game gives to skins i think its pretty standard to ask for a better solution here.You mentioned other games so lets take a look at WoW where each mount is treated as its own "item" and not an over-lay.

great idea, wont work gw2 community is too casual for this to work

And this whole entire post isn't? You're demanding drastic changes to game code because you have to see a default skin for one second or two before your computer loads in models and textures. I just feel like they're cheaping out here and it annoys me to see, especially in a game so heavly focused towards skins and shiny and whatnot

How does this feel like a troll?Seeing the base mount is about the game not loading the fancy skin before more important things. If your computer can load faster it will show the mount less often. An SSD makes the game load much faster and as a result would make you see the base mount instead of your fancy skin less often and few fewer seconds.Because as i've already mention in previous, comments, people with a more than capable machines experience the same issue, and therefor the performance of my computer is not the matter here... and ive said it like 3 times already

People like you are the reason i made this post tbh, i hate that the community just accepted this fix

and to all this, why cant we can a respond from official source explaining exactly what is going on and how they plan to deal with it?
