Randulf.7614 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It isnt one im over keen in, but the lack of a decent preview with dues is poss the cause. I saw a horribly garish pink one earlier, so if anyone has some decent non neon photos, id be interested in seeing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocki.4931 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It reminds me of the desert fox, which is one of the most adorable things in the game imo. I got it from a chest, but I won't use it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Starscale though, which imo is one of the best dyeable skins, so hard to replace that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notebene.3190 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 It's been awhile since I bought a bunch of gems. Today was the day. Got the raptor skin and that glider skin. I bought 5 keys too, opened some chests, that was all I was willing to spend on that. I'll bank the rest of my gems for a rainy day. The thorny chair might be interesting, but I can't find any screen shots of my character sitting in it. Wish you could preview yourself on chairs and such.

AgentMoore.9453 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 To be honest, I'm disappointed that we keeping getting new species introduced as mounts without first going back and making some neat-looking versions of animals we've already encountered in the game like Sylvan Hounds, Dolyaks, and Plated Behemoths. I'm not against new species being introduced into the game, but to see an animal like this one or the Pangolin Roller Beetle or the Shrine Guardian Jackal is very immersion breaking for me. Are we supposed to just assume someone flipped over a rock and found a massive 4-earred desert fox underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarlonniel.6534 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I love all the skins that make your mount into something almost entirely different, including this one. Now I just need to pry the starscale skin out of some of my characters' hands so I can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I like the skin but I won't get it this time. Lets pray they put the same energy and money into development of actual replayable content in the game as I feel they focus way too much on skins lately and too less on old bugs/glitches which are only piling up over time, pvp, wvw, more fractals and raids (I don't even play raids but the amount is too low and challenge I hear is missing), decent innovative and creative (mechanical wise) open world content and story content (where it is a challenge and tactics matter over gear/skills so you cannot burst or let npcs do everything for you).

Curunen.8729 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Really cool model, on par with Kourna Jackrabbit, but even as someone who still only has the default raptor I hope this stays available until after august 30th so I can be given a good reason to spend 2000 gems.

Irbis.4932 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Looks nice, but 2k gems is way to overpriced for a mount skin. Then again, maybe this is the expansion-like content they talked about - the price would match. Not so long ago I got Witcher 3 GOTY edition on Steam for 11€, and a mount skin in GW2 costs three times that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have no idea what that thing even is, but it's adorable. It's like a bipedal fennec fox! ...with...four ears...what in Tyria is this? All I know is that it's cute. :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we supposed to just assume someone flipped over a rock and found a massive 4-earred desert fox underneath?Some of those would be unsuited for the mount skeletons/rigs, though I wish we could get a plated behemoth ranger pet.As for "Discovered", how is the Pangolin immersion breaking? It's not like they are saying these creatures were rare, it's more coming across as recently mounted. Also another factor for immersion is this. With Joko dead, the elder dragons reduced, a lot of things that restricted trade, travel, and exploration are disappearing. Now people can explore more and find that rare raptor that lived in a secluded area of the desert, that previously was often not visited due to awoken patrols. Or that skimmer native to an island most people didn't bother stopping at because they wanted to be clear of Istani and Kournan waters ASAP to avoid Joko.Not everything is perhaps super rare, or even "Just now found."
