Midnight.7526 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Seriously. Why make a cat skin for a dog mount? Especially when you have a cat mount in the game. I would buy it instantly if it were for the warclaw mount. 21 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) There's a simple explanation for this in that more people have access to the jackal. Besides why would you want to use the warclaw in PVE? edit: if you want a "cat" skin for warclaw there is the Tundra Grimalkin , Outrider skin, and Vigilant Saberclaw.

moonboi.1764 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Ikr. My first thought was was, omg yes a claw skin I want and then realized it was jackal. *sad kitty sounds* 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronometria.3708 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Agreed - the warclaw is a giant cat and sees a lot more use than the jackal anyway. It also has a lot less skin accessibility and lot of WvW players end up using their default skins. Feels like quite a snub and a poor design choice seeing as the warclaw has the correct animations and proportions. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.5981 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 They will have crunched the numbers and worked out that Jackal Skins sell more than Warclaw Skins. Maximising profit, I'm all for it if it keeps the game afloat. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximising profit, I'm all for it if it keeps the game afloat. But that makes no sense - the jackal is a mount that is hardly used and most folks wont want to spend much on it, especially as they like picked up a decent skin from random mount contracts anyhow. Warclaws are used constantly by WVW players and they have hardly any ability to get decent, single skins due to the way the skins are released at the store. I am a lot more likely to buy a warclaw skin than i am a jackal skin....and as it stands, i am hardly able to do that anyway. 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also the Sand Lion warclaw skin, the Savage Gladiator Warclaw Skin, Striped Grimalkin Skin, Vigilant Sabreclaw Skin and the Guildrider Warclaw Skin. Quite a few cat skins there.

BlueJin.4127 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) When I saw the tiger skin, I thought, "Finally, we get an awesome looking warclaw skin with proper body proportions!" Warclaw has hilariously goofy proportions for a feline; neck nearly as long as the body and hind legs that are much shorter than the forelegs. It's more like a hyena and I don’t like any of the current warclaw skins. Then I saw the skin was for the jackal...

Mini Crinny.6190 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Possibly because Tiger looks cool and if it was warclaw anet wouldn't get as much revenue from it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson.4036 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I use my jackal more than my raptor. Raptor only gets use for me when I know I’ll have big gaps to jump. And the tiger is the first mount skin I’ve been tempted by in a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizel.1839 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) Because many of those who bought it, wouldn't have bought it if it had been a warclaw skin. That translates in: PvE skins sell more than WvW skins. Edited January 25, 2022 by Raizel.1839 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not necessarily true for some players. I almost never use the warclaw. My jackal is my second most used mount after my skyscale. 34 minutes ago, Gibson.4036 said: I use my jackal more than my raptor. Raptor only gets use for me when I know I’ll have big gaps to jump.

Voltekka.2375 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Because jackal is a pve mount, hence more people will buy it instead of a warclaw skin, which would appeal to fewer. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty La Boom Boom.4065 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm happy it was the Jackal, since that is my second most used mount, after Skyscale. However, I agree that WvW players should get some exquisite skins for Warclaw. It's really not fair to neglect a substantial part of your customer base. Maybe they think WvW players don't care as much about aesthetics? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 4 hours ago, DarcShriek.5829 said: There's already a tiger warclaw skin. That was my guess. The Striped Grimalkin makes a(nother) tiger skin for the warclaw redundant. I assume they weren't thinking about Lunar New Year back in the summer when that one was released (although I'm surprised they didn't save it for when EoD comes out either). But then it would have cost 1,600 gems instead of 1,200 (or 400 if you get lucky with a random licence). I'm another one who mainly uses the jackal in PvE. I like that it's not as fast as the raptor, but still a bit faster than running, it's a good balance for me, and I like a lot of the skins and the animations. I like the warclaw too but I rarely use it outside of WvW. I don't currently have any of the tiger skins, I was put off the warclaw one just because it doesn't have armour and the warclaw collection and it's lore is all about how the armour is an intrinsic part of the creature, so I wanted one with armour. But having seen other people using it in WvW I do like it. I like the jackal one as well and I can see I'm going to end up with 2 tiger mounts eventually. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Monarch.6058 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thank you for posting my question also, this should be a warclaw skin. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentMoore.9453 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I think I'd mind the decision less if they released the skin for Warclaw in addition to whatever other mount they also wanted to give it to. I felt the same when they gave us a big beefy ox. ...for Jackal instead of Warclaw. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabisi.1570 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I wish they would stick to canines for the jackal mount.. we don't even have a proper wolf or fern hound skin 😔 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a mainly WvW player I find it hilarious that you find a mount skin more priority than gameplay and balance improvements , let alone the work on Alliances. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
