Funky.4861 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Raptor: mad-max style dune buggy, sparks and exhaust fumes Skimmer: iridescent/ bioluminescent pond-skater, or even a skateboard/hoverboard :pensive: Springer: steampunk pogo-stick Jackal: hunting spider with emissive patterning Griffon: demonic/possessed mantis, with aura, trail and chittering sound effects Roller Beetle: plate-armoured sloth Warclaw: a felinised teletubby/Mr Blobby, or the nyan-nyan cat Skyscale: an enchanted flying squirrel.

Udolpho.1209 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Chinese Dragon style Skyscale with similar appearance/movement to the mini mystical dragon/snow flurry dragon. Doesn't touch the ground. For the Canthan expansion. A floating snake works too. A Skyscale that doesn't look like a skyscale. Still want a bone dragon, despite the fact that the Dark Monarch reads as necromancer-inspired. :/ Asuran hover board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ototo.3214 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I'm also in the boat of wanting a non-living charr themed roller beetle skin. Was kinda sad when what we got was asuran themed instead but I still like it. I've also wanted a wyvern skin for Skyscale and the Modrem mount thing for raptors. A kangaroo for the springer would also be kinda funny, don't think any of the current ones look too much like that. Also, at the person who suggested a hippocampus, I don't think they meant a brain. Hippocampus just translates to "seahorse" and the brain structure was named that because it's appearance was initially thought to look like a seahorse. But there's a mythical creature also called a hippocampus which is a literal sea-horse Personally, I also want a hippocampus but I wanted it to be a new underwater mount altogether, as it works and would be kinda funny to have a fish horse mount after people kept asking for a horse mount. Edit: whoops, missed where that was already clarified. But I still want it as an underwater mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Greyhawk.9107 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Not a fan of "machine" mounts. I'd rather they stay animals. Obviously this won't happen and the game will continue to violate my eyes with this insanity of infusions and giant wing backpacks and holo-weapons and all the other shit. Why not add bizarre and cringey "vehicle mounts" to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not add bizarre and cringey "vehicle mounts" to the game. as someone who likes these "machine" mounts, as long as they fit within the game's established themes/aesthetics i'm fine with it. we have airships made from pact technology (combination of all races) for example... that said i'd love to have an armored skyscale too just like the other people in this thread or a wyvern even, but i do have some things that i'd like to see more than others. the charr have cannons/tanks/other vehicles. the black citadel is a machine city with a giant smelter. asurans have teleporters, warp gates, megalasers, anti-gravity things, laser barrier/fields. etc. at this point we're sorta (but not quite) like FF14 in terms of theme/setting, we're not really full-on fantasy/medieval themed, but also have a decent dose of sci-fi, steampunk and modern elements mixed in though twisted in a fantasy sort of way. but yeah i do agree about the visual noise that we get from infusions and other gemstore outfits that make you look like a walking lightbulb/christmas tree/colour gradient i'd love for more simple yet stunning outfits (or better yet full armour skins/set) and subtle infusions like this: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Polysaturating_Reverberating_Infusion_(Gray) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of Bones.8975 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I would like to see "upgradable" skins. Start out with a vanilla mount and have the ability to modify the look through various story paths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regh.8649 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 * Hyena for the jackal with the same proportions as the reforged warhound * Bulky and aggressive skyscale skin with some kind of armor on chest and front legs only (battle scars on the wings membrane would also add to the feeling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozgu.5864 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Not sure if this is the right place for this idea, but wasn't sure if I should open a new topic for it either. The Shell Surfer skimmer skin is beautiful, and I can see elements of different endangered species in it (sea turtle, leatherback). Would ANET consider donating a percentage of all Shell Surfer skin sales to an organization of their choice regarding the conservation efforts to safeguard vulnerable populations of the skin's real world counterparts?

Ototo.3214 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I still want a charr bike roller beetle but they made the recent one asura themed so I guess I wait until it's acceptable to make another non animal mount again in like 3 years.

voltaicbore.8012 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Someone already said this, but I'd buy a Dreadnought skin for the Skyscale in a heartbeat. I have a number of toons that could work quite well with a "dragon knight" theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yung Reezy.8479 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A direwolf or any normal wolf skin for the jackal would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anchoku.8142 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Maybe some joke-type skins might be fun but the more different it is from the current frames the harder. Here are a few examples: * SAB 8-bit mounts with 8-bit sounds * white-sheet ghost type with no feet * wintersday snow-pile mount with snowman-type build that leaves a snow pile activity after dismount * new year mount with a fireworks action * festival of the four winds could have attached helmets, flags and kites * almost entirely invisible mounts for the rider and completely invisible to others * mounts that randomly say something based on actions and mount type like playing characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagblade.4627 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'd like to see "golem" / clockwork / charr-like mechanical versions of some of the mounts. Please for Wintersday Mister Tixx I've been a good boy this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoosh.2718 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I want to see a heavy armour skyscale simular to that of the dreadnought skin for raptor. Its fitting for the mount, would make you feel like a dragon knight as well riding it... without the stupid flashy glow that the other mounts have... seriously stop giving mounts obnoxious glowy parts. Sometimes simple things are far better than complex ones / over the top ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Anything that lets me put Permafrost dye in all slots and burn out pixels on my screen.(1) Currently we have that for only the Skimmer (Khajakh Lantern (?sp), I think), although the Trailblazer skin for Petey comes a close second. (1) Damage to other people's screens is unfortunate, but not the goal. Call it collateral damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
