    IT'S NOT UNIQUE, THE QUILLEN MOUNT FROM COLLECTOR'S EDITION ALREADY HAS THIS, IT'S A DOUBLE RESKIN!

    No, honestly, people here were calling pandaren female a dwarf female reskin. Literally what the fuck.

    And it's blue and it glows, like the nether drakes!

    TRIPLE RESKIN!

    I'm sure we'll see a few new ones come WoD anyway

    Making five different skeletons for five different horse mounts just because the forums don't know how much work just a remodel is, is quite literally a huge waste. All five are horses; all five of them are expected to move like horses. No need to have more than 1 horse skeleton. What could be nice, though, is additional animations now and then. Like if they were to make the spider mount that so many people want. The old spider skeleton works, but it has no really outstanding animations. Like with other mounts, they can add extra idle animations, extra walk cycles and a /mountspecial. But making shiny new skeletons for every mount of the same animal? That's just silly.


    And secondly, I'll repeat myself: The Skyscreamer (Pterodactyl) skeleton is modified enough from the Proto-drake skeleton in animations and posture that it can be counted as its own skeleton. For that reason, we don't have four mounts sharing the same skeleton. But we have four mounts sharing two skeletons. The Dread Raven using the Pterodactyl one, and the Firehawk using the Proto-drake one.

    Lecture me on your vast knowledge of skeletal meshes. I'm very curious of what you know. As I picture it, skeletal meshes are like the cake and models are like the icing. What's so different about them to be upset about? They both take up space and are assets used in animation.

    You and me must not read the same posts or something. How did you get from "In this thread: self-entitled kid complaining about a free bonus mount that devs didn't even have to create to begin with." to "It's not a big deal, don't use it or get it if you don't want it, it's not worth complaining over" beats me.

    Also if he can assume the original poster is a kid, why cant i assume he is a fanboy?
    Just because something is free, people can not have negative opinion on it?
    I'm done replying to you about this, I just can't explain the same thing over and over again anymore.

    I honestly think you ladies blow the amount of thingies you think you are entitled to for 15 dollars a month out of proportion, but I guess that is your right as a customer and I am a sheep and fanboi that will blindly eat up any shit that Blizzard throws at me. Asking for seconds

    Yummy.
    Asymmetric comparison. Try comparing it to other video games.
    15bucks for a month's worth of entertainment: great deal. I can see the value in paying and playing.
    15bucks a month just to log in(plus other required fees) for the amount/quality of content WoW put out, VS the price of other video games? that's far less of a good deal to say the least.

    However, I think re-skinning is fine (to a point), and it's the REMODEL that is incredibly lazy (in some cases). In this case it's a worthless mount you get for free for playing Hearthstone. That's hardly worth crying about re-skinning or re-modeling, or worth the time for Blizzard to build a unique mount from the ground up.

    The lazy part (and possibly unethical) comes from pulling the simple Proto Drake out of the closet, remodeling it, then selling it on the store for real life money, or used as the most prestigious raid mount.
    Indeed, Blizzard should of course reuse assets where ever possible for efficiency's sake, but not too much else it's just lazy.
    Get your terminology right people, complain about re-used skeletons/animations instead of models.

    It'd be more like Skeletons are the ingredients to the cake. You could use the same ingredients to make 5 cakes, but each one can be baked in a different shape or size of pan and then coated with a different frosting. Same skeletons (ingredients), different models (shapes and sizes), different skins (colors and toppings)

    They could of done no mount at all. They could of just said fuck it. The Skeleton is reused the most.


    Take Algalon from Ulduar? His model is completely new. His skeleton? It's the Dagger animations of a Vrkyul. Vrykul skeleton and this was Wrath. You wanna bitch about rehashing? Learn what it actually is and not what you confuse people with it. It really vexes me that people call it lazyness.

    Ha ha actually just posted this in the other mount topic...didn't see this one...

    Yeah I want a Rickshaw

    While I am not really that bothered with the topic, even though I tend to be quite pissy about achievement rewards\etc that are lazy'ish works, this one is indeed an easy one to get - however I'll admit that as soon as I tried it out, the second I logged in after receiving it and noticed it shared the animations of the Celestial Steed, I automatically went "Oh, nice.." and naturally went back to my old mount.

    In short, disappointing, but that's getting a regular state whenever WoW is involved (); But it is a mount given to us on a plate, so oh well. It'll do.

    They should go less mounts, but more unique

    this mount is 100% free:you get the mount in HS wich is F2P and you need lvl 20 to use the mount,thus if you use the wow trial account you dont have to pay a dime for both.

    A lot (read, all but a small handful) of BC's models were reused skeletons from Vanilla.


    Did I just blow y'all hater's minds?

    The only new skeletons for models were the elekks, engineering copters, and nether rays. All the others came from Vanilla. That's THREE new skeletons.

    Let's compare that to other expansions:

    WotLK:
    Mammoths
    Proto-drakes
    Motorcycles
    Flying Carpet
    = Four Skeletons

    Cataclysm:
    Goblin go-kart
    Camel
    Sea Horse
    = 3 skeletons

    MoP:
    Water Strider
    Cloud Serpent
    Yak
    Quilen
    Kite
    Flying Cloud
    =six skeletons

    Mists of Pandaria has had the most unique skeletons for mounts by far.

    Do you guys have any mount ideas that you would like to see ingame?
    Also, it runs through the air. It does not fly. It runs.

    Pretty much a reflection of the amount of effort blizzard puts into the game these days. The same old gear sets just get recolored and re-released as well.

    I think they fired a lot of game designers and hired a bunch of dudes to scheme about how to extract every last cent out of us.

    The mount is far from free. First, you don't own it. You pay to access it every month.

    Also, we should be getting new content on a fairly regular basis. One ugly reskin every 6-8 months doesn't cut it.

    You know that the entirety of the sunwell tier shared armor and weapon models with that season's PvP gear, right?

    You're becoming a parody of yourself.

    That's true of every mount, from the Talbuk that was a remodeled ram to the hawkstrider that was a remodeled plainstrider to Ashes of Al'ar that was a remodeled gryphon.

    Also, we should be getting new content on a fairly regular basis. One ugly reskin every 6-8 months doesn't cut it.
    They have an entire expansion they're working on, if you missed that memo. And the mount isn't a reskin.
