Farohna.6247 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 If it was a WvW mount, the PvE only would complain. If it's the jackal mount, which is more used by the majority, people still complain. I agree it seems a logical fit style wise to be a warclaw, but from a monetary perspective it makes sense as a jackal. Also, why not? There are variations in most of the mounts....birds instead of raptors, bouncing badgers, a sea turtle that glides above water, and a hound of Balthazar for WvW. So why not a cat skin for a dog mount, it's nothing new. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you give me a Warclaw skin I like, I'll definitely use it. Outside of WvW, people rarely use the warclaw. Maybe once in a while I use it in PVE for that big 10 target damage but most of the time other mount perform better in PVE. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcShriek.5829 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I don't understand something. Why is it that many of the people talking about how popular the warclaw is don't know it already has a tiger skin? Maybe the warclaw isn't as popular as some claim. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy it instantly if it were for the warclaw mount. Well they did make a dog skin (Hound of Balthazar) for a cat mount too so, fair is fair. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 30% of the population are predominatly WvWers. 60% of the population are predominantly PvE players (according to Mike O'Brien). Jackals are a popular mount. They're great at bypassing enemies when running and they're faster than a raptor on uneven terrain. I used my jackal quite frequently on the ground. Yep, I'd rather it be a jackal skin. I have enough skins for my Warclaw for the small amount of time I WvW (by percentage anyway). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titje.2745 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I was looking for the right topic so I don’t have to create one just for saying thanks to Anet. I am happy this is for the jackal (as pve player) I always liked the movement of the tigers in wow and also the ram (but I didn’t buy the lunar cow) and this new tiger skin comes close to the movement. so i hoped for a nice tiger mount skin for the jackal. I know there is a warclaw but I think it’s useless outside wvw. It’s slow. There are some nice lion or tiger skins for it. But it was not worth for me to buy it for 1200 gems. I tried with random licenses. But didn’t obtained one. Before i didn’t like the jackal that much. But now with the tiger skin I think it replace the raptor. and as you said. Why make a cat skin for a dog. It’s just a skin for a beast with 4 legs. There must be a standard/basic model where you can add other skins to. Imagine if they had no basic model and just had a headless thing with 4 legs. Like the working table when painting a door. If they made the tiger for the raptor it was another thing. Because it has 2 legs. Only problem I can think of is the sound of it. I have a dog skin for the bunny. It’s weird that a stephard dog. Or what’s called. Makes bunny sounds. and again. It’s nice to have tiger skins for more game modes or models instead of put them all on 1 model. Enough said. now the only thing I would like is the have a dreadnought skyscale skin. Or something like that. A full plated or armored skyscale. And no. Not the robot we got last. And maybe a skeleton like dreadnought skyscale. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite possibly because this is a thread about a mount skin and not any of the other things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cool with the Jackal having it, it'd just be nice if the Warclaw could have it too, and I don't think cat with stripes or cat with gladiator helmet are the same thing. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcShriek.5829 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Sure it's different, so what? It should be different from previously released skins. But does warclaw really need 3 variants of a tiger skin when apparently people don't buy warclaw skins? No, it doesn't need another tiger variant skin. That's probably why Anet put this version on the Jackal. Apparently few people seems to know that warclaw skins even exist. Putting the white tiger skin on both the warclaw and jackal would remove the uniqueness of the skin. Best to leave it on one type of mount. It just looks like some people are complaining that Anet made a really cool skin. It seems that sometimes, no matter what they do Anet can't win.

I mean, do you have any data to support the claim that 'people don't buy Warclaw skins' or 'don't know that Warclaw skins even exist'? I buy them when I see one I like (same as with any other mount skin), and if I were a person who favored both Warclaw and Jackal, I'd buy the same skin twice to have it available on my mount of choice. Given that there are plenty of skins available for mounts that are virtually identical with only slight differences in markings (Skyscale is a good example of this), I'm not sure why the concept is controversial. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are 400 gem skins, this is a 2000 gem skin, it's supposed to be better. Your complaining is not a good look. Your defense of your complaining is even worse. Yes I have data.

'People like me' are well aware of what skins are available and you can view the entire gallery of them here. When I responded to you and Katsu, the skin being linked was the Striped Grimalkin and I addressed the differences. When you clarified that you meant the Savage Gladiator, I addressed the differences there as well. It doesn't meant I was unaware of available options, only that I was responding directly to what had been posted when it had been posted. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the White Tiger skin is not available for Warclaw - that is the point I was making. You can disagree with me without making inaccurate assumptions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many areas where they are preferable to avoid enemies or in less open spaces. Also they are great fun for races. If you're not switching up mounts for their many uses, you're missing out. Love my warclaw skins, love my jackal skins. Also, this is good festival fun, especially for anyone doing a theme. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
