    I think you know exactly what I mean, just trust me when I say it will have the same animations as that was my point to begin with. I am sorry I said model.. (ye the model is new, but it could have been anything, but still feel the same. I know people get irritated about the word very easily when used for the wrong thing, but I was meant to merely point out that the stance is giving away how it will move, I though that was obvious, but I guess not. Just to clear it up.

    On topic, that mounts looks really frikkin' cool, if it's true, it's definitely the best 6 month mount yet.
    Its that for me its the main thing I notice instantly especially when you like certain ones or not.. the wobbly animations while running with the gronn mount stood out for me as I personally wasnt a fan off.

    Personal taste I guess.

    Well, the pet is real, haven't seen the mount yet. Wonder how this one is coming in.

    that looks cool.

    That's a nice looking model. My pet peeve with that rig, though, is how far forward your character leans when they're sitting on it. Like...all they'd have to do is tilt the saddles back like 10 degrees and it would be perfect.

    The sub promo and shop addition before Wen Lo were baby murloc eggs.
    Same model then. A reskin. People want new rigging, new animations, something unique to justify spending money, not something they can get from the garrison.

    Store mounts do tend to have unique animations. Not sure why you'd assume this one would be any different.

    No, it's specifically a new model. Same rig doesn't mean same model

    Same model? ok go get this from your garrison then, screenshot it and then show us on your roidloc mount. I'll patiently wait.

    Skeleton =/= model. A reskin would mean it's already a big Murloc bro. This is a new model and a new skin. For the sake of future arguments, you should just say, "We want completely new mounts from the ground up."

    First people complain that store mounts are "too unique" and everything in the game looks "shit" next to them, now people complain that they aren't unique enough?

    My brain starts to hurt ...

    Yeah, reskin is basically just a recolour. Which this isn't.

    Speaking about reusing rigs though, I wonder if we will get a Harjatan or Gorlok mount down the line too! We know that there are Gorloks on the Dragon Isles after all, so fingers crossed for that.

    HOLY MURLOC! I'm imagining the Murloc sounds with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent.

    That's pretty darn cool, definitely the best store/6 month sub mount (if it ends up being real).

    You are literally the only person who cares. Can you not see that?

    We're all newbs, some are just more newbier than others.

    Just a burned out hardcore raider turned casual.

    Player base: we want cool new things

    Player base: let me complain about the new thing you gave us

    Sure it might use an existing skeleton but it is literally that a skeleton under a totally new artwork that is unique to the game….please don’t ever comment on a new car or a new movie or book etc because they are all the same but just have different wrappers to make them look different….

    100% sure these were both gonna be the Blizzcon goodies but since there was no blizzcon they put the pet in the dragonflight bundle and that as a 6 month store mount

    Loathe the business practice of rewarding loyal customers? This is such a fucking hare-brained take. It's literally always been cheaper to buy your sub in increments greater than one month, adding a promotional mount is just another incentive.

    That actually would make a lot of sense. Murlocs are usually saved for BlizzCon so it was a bit out of place to see a pet themed like that for the CE instead.

    It's a free bonus if you're already planning to subscribe indefinitely, but subscription numbers historically drop during lulls in new content. These promotions exist to encourage players to stick around when they would otherwise leave.
