Batelle.1680 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I bought 6 with real cash and 10 with gold. I stopped after getting Stardust, which is the skin I really wanted. My total haul is below: Raptor: Coastal and Savannah Spiketails, Savannah Monitor, Storm Ridge (which is really, really cool) Springer: Desert Lop, Tawny Hare Skimmer: Bright Ringfin, Oceanic Ray, River Moth Wing, Dajikah Lantern Jackal: Banded Mystic, Polished Stone, Twin Sands (which I love and will use a lot even if it's not my favorite jackal skin), Stardust Griffon: Clouded Corvus, Fire Pinion Even though I'm not super happy with the way these licences were handled, I was pleased that the more premium skins dropped regularly. I was half expecting to have to unlock at least 20 before I saw any skin with a new effect, but Oceanic Ray was the second skin I unlocked and Storm Ridge, Fire Pinion, and Twin Sands were all within the first 10.

Rauderi.8706 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Currently up to 3 raptors, one of which is the stormy one. Moderately happy with. No springers, oddly enough. Also moderately happy with. Bright spot skimmer. Disappointed. I didn't want any skimmer skins. One jackal skin, fairly mundane. Not too happy with, didn't really want more sand-doggo skins. Harrier and Badlands griffs. The patterns are fairly erratic, so I don't like them so much, but still better than the base skin. I.. should kinda be ashamed at how much I've thrown at this so far.

Fenom.9457 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I purchased 3, and got the dajkah lantern which was my favorite skimmer skin. I also got another skimmer one and a springer skin which were simpler alternate dye channel skins. They weren't my most wanted but I'll use them on a few alts. Overall I'll probably buy more at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhayad.9813 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I purchased 3 with ingame gold, i got 2 Raptors: the Savannha Monitor (4 dye channels) and the Storm Ridge (4 dye channels). 1 Griffon: Highlands Harrier ( 4 dye channels), so i am quite satisfied with that.

Aryan Arlande.6184 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Don't have one, never ever will ride one. In my humble opinion, they doesn't belong to Core-Tyria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShiningSquirrel.3751 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I got the 30 pack the day it was released. Perfectly happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadTreeJig.6714 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I bought 4 mount skins, ended up with 3 for the jackal and 1 for the springer. I like the spinger and one of the jackal skins. I don't think the other 2 jackal skins are distinct enough to really call them skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sykper.6583 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Ended up buying a 10 pack initially, and trinkled in the next 10 afterwards. I got the flashy nice skins I wanted, and I didn't have to buy another 10 skins for the rest, pretty ok with it overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revodeel.2651 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I rolled the dice three times. I was hoping for Crowned Ancient or any of the raptor skins. Got Pyroclast, Oasis Skate, and Elonian Jackalope. I can't really complain too much. RNG is RNG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milknnuts.8610 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Old Topic but I thought I'd share my experience. Wanted to get Starbound Griffon. Bought 2 licenses (with gold) - got the electric raptor and some dull looking griffon skin Bought 10 discounted (with gold) - got so-so's Bought 10 discounted (with gold) - fully unlocked skimmer (useless). got the stardust Jackal Bought 3 (with gold) hoping to get starbound - got rabbit and something else. Bought the last 5 with real money, one at a time, meaning 800 gems and i use only 400 gems. - Got starbound LAST! LAST! so did anyone else get it, and if so how many tries?

Cyrin.1035 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 They are mount SKINS. The marketing team loves to push that "mount adoption" ploy even though it's false. I bought them all over a few weeks. Got the Starbound griffon right away and then the main ones I wanted on the last skins bought. My favorites are the Stormridge raptor, Arctic Jaboa springer, Dajkah Lantern skimmer, Stardust jackal, and Starbound griffon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angle of Deth.2985 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Why couldn't the mount packs be bundled by the type of mount? Those who want just the skimmer can buy the skimmer set to get the 'lantern' mount for example. I would definitely buy griffon and raptor bundles. And yeah, reasonably priced. : ) I don't need or want the others. Getting something you don't like or need through the kitten RNG is freaking annoying.

Oglaf.1074 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I got nothing because I refuse lootbox gambling and I'm perfectly happy with the result. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 No offense, guys, but it was sort of asked in the first post NOT to turn this into yet another whinging-about-the-RNG thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sila.6748 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I used Christmas money and art commission money to buy a pack of 10 as well as a few extras. I ended up with: Raptor: Flamelander, Storm Ridge and Striped Tri-Horn Springer: Arctic Jeboa, Primal Hare, Tawny hare, and Windy Spot, Skimmer: Bright Ringfin, Dajkah lantern, Oasis skate, oceanic ray and spined longtail Jackal: Polished Stone, Stardust Griffon: Fire Pinion I don't really regret it. I would like more but it's a lot of money for me and I don't earn gold fast enough nor hold onto it enough, so I might not. I'm also very happy with the branded mount skins .

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Specifically, I have the [Canyon Spiketail](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Canyon_Spiketail), [banded Mystic](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Banded_Mystic), & [Twin Sands](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Twin_Sands). I'd rank these all in the bottom 12 for which Mountfits I wanted and yet I'm still very pleased with the result. I didn't buy any _for myself_. However I got three as gifts (and gave several to others as gifts) and found them to be fantastic presents. Nearly everyone wants more Mountfits, but (for a variety of reasons) not everyone is willing to shell out for them. The very thing that makes them annoying as a gem shop revenue generator — the randomness — makes them more exciting as gifts, as if you're actually opening them. tl;dr I ended up with two Jackals and one Raptor, none of which I would have spent even 400 gems on **and** I ended up very pleased with the results. The dino and one of the doggos are little more than reskins, but I like them because they take four colors (in relatively useful locations).

Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 I've got 13 all together now. At first I got almost all what I liked, but kept being tempted to try one more time, to get another raptor, only to (of course) get skins I was not all that interested in. Fortunately, the Branded mount pack came out, and I no longer have the slight annoyance of all my characters riding the same raptor and skimmer. So I think my temptation is over.

zerorogue.9410 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 bought 4 got 1 raptor 1 jackal 2 springer All i wanted was a griffon skin so I could use all 4 dye channels. This is why I hate lootboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
