kharmin.7683 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Ok, so maybe the OP was someone who knew that this was going to be released and tried to gin up interest by posting on the forums. Then, we got ... whatever that thing is.Or, it's another example of needing to be careful what you wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I find it interesting that the tank-raptor and that mess of a "demon" bunny are considered cool and totally acceptable and this is what people object to.20 years ago that would have been me too. I wouldn't have dared express the slightest interest in anything "cute" or silly but the more creepy and disturbing you could make it the better. I'm not actually sure when I stopped caring and settled on just liking 'weird' things of all stripes, I don't think I really noticed until GW2 came out and I realised I absolutely would use a bow which shoots unicorns because it's so rediculous.

Didn't end up getting the armoured raptor because I had so many other skins I already liked, but it did have a good Iron Legion theme going.This winged unicorn chimaera needs a facelift and a less airborne tail but aside from that I actually like it.

eyestrain.3056 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 So you are the one to blame... jkI just feel bad for whoever designed and modeled this. So many poor choices resulting in this uncanny valley frankenstein.There have been plenty of mount skins that havent been my personal taste but at least for the 2000 gem skins there has been a lot of care put into the animations, design, texture, etc.That something like this could be approved and released makes me concerned about future content quality control.

This one is just bad. Not even bad, its just hideous. Not in a quirky way, not in an "omg it looks too dark and evil" way...its just plain fugly. I know some people will defend to the death ANYTHING anet does or puts out, and I understand maybe some people like it for some reason, and to each their own. But no...to most of us, seeing this brings the reaction of "oh my lord what the heck is that, what have they done, kill it with fire".Its atrocious, and NOT in any kind of quirky way.
