Caprine Warclaw dismount particle storm

[eyestrain.3056]

I was so hype about these skins and am now quite disappointed because even on the most plain/non flashy version of the skin from the pack, there's this huge tornado of particle effects every time you dismount. It's one thing for pve to have the extra visual noise but in wvw, aoe effects like that often indicate you've passed over a trap or there's an incoming attack or something. It's distracting every time. I don't think I would have paid for this pack if the dismount animation had been included in the preview.

I don't think the dream scenario of making 1/3 skins not have this big storm effect will ever happen. But I think if a skin has a large animation associated with it at any point, that should be visible in the preview too.

In the future, you might consider viewing some YouTube videos on Gem Store skins; some always show mount and dismount animations.
