lezbefriends.7516 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Did we seriously need another “cute thing”? We have way too many already, and the skin doesn’t look like it has anything to do with a raptor. Suggestion: stop putting so many overly “cute” things in the game. We have quaggans. That should be enough. Instead we now get every mount trying to be cute, and the recent Lighbearer one went overboard, not even being subtle about itEdit: I forgot that bunny has the Lightbearer’s same aesthetic. Why give it to raptor? If you’re going to move in the direction of every mount having every aesthetic, why not give us 1 mount that does everything? Oh, right: $$$.

Don’t get me started on the mount skin prices. Everyone has mount skins, so you have to shell out 80% of the expansion price just to feel like you belong.

Ototo.3214 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Wut.That's the new raptor skin right? I wouldn't call any of its other skins overly cute or anything. Don't see what's wrong with it getting a cute skin for all the people that prefer that aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenev.5289 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I think it's fine as is. There are a mix of subtle, cutesy and edgelord skins - and I hope Anet keeps appealing to all crowds, so long as they insist on not following a game aesthetic.

Subtle cuteness is fine. From where in that sentence did you get, “We need dark and edgy or riot”?Completely cute is also completely fine. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it shouldn't be allowed to exist. I don't particularly like it either. Nor the shimmerwing skyscale. Or the Hummingbird skimmer. But other people do, so who cares.Sarcasm is too hard to understand apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonArkanio.6419 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Yep, I'm totally fed up with the recent aesthetics trend that ANet goes for. This isn't the world setting GW2 was in. It's becoming more flashy, cute, sweet, flashy and flashy.Oh, and flashy, don't know if I mentioned it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you may make an informed deduction as to the answer to that.Some of my alts wouldn't be caught dead on a cute fuzzy. Some of them have needed this forever. Some of them would ride it but have a raptor that looks perfect for them. So yes, the cute was needed, by some not all, and an MMO needs a wide range of options if it wants to retain a wide range of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witcher.3197 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 They've completely sold out on their art direction and threw immersion and consistency out of the window. We are going heavily into the direction of generic Asian MMOs in terms of looks and it's sad. GW's art direction was always special for me and it's all but gone now just so Anet can milk the hypercasual through the gemstore. These people buy everything if it's cute enough or glitters.
