Tajiseed.7831 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I'm saving gems for a fireball or something else shiny. *Prays to MO* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliamRationem.5172 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Cute! But I can't justify spending gems on skins for a mount that I hardly ever use. That endurance bar refill time just kills it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, they will release beetle skins soon, with cool patterns and the proper amount of dye channels. I'm hoping for an updated Black Beast of Arrgh skin next. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Black_Beast_of_Arrgh_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugo.4705 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Not really fan of the skin.. seems to be a fusion between an hedgehog and armadillo so maybe a porcupine? Would not justify 2000 gems for a mount I never use in the contrary of my jackal, will pass and wait fof a better one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasida.4085 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It's gr8 they brought out an anti bug skin but the many I know never really use the beetle. We all agree as with most on this thread just doesn't warrant 2k gems. But keep up with the anti bugs and maybe I'll invest in the skin and actually use the bug one day.

DigitalFlower.7896 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Anet should rename it to pangolin, bring attention to this very cute animal and teach people about an animal they probably haven't heard of. it can't hurt to spread the word. pangolins are killed a lot for their scales and other body parts, maybe teaching the players there is a lovely animal called the pangolin can help spread awareness ( people might be interested in googling what a pangolin is and about the trafficking, someone might do something, who knows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalFlower.7896 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 that's why i said it can't hurt, i might not do a difference at all if you mention it and people get to know the pangolin, but it certainly will do nothing if people don't know about the animal :/ at the very least, naming it pangolin, will make some people, even if it is just one person, go google it and find out about this lovely animal. so make some people learn about something they didn't know?

Learn more about these scaly yet endearing mammals whose basic biology remains a mystery, hampering conservation efforts. I encourage others not familiar with the animal to consider watching it. It also includes daily life of a baby pangolin as it grows (and gets into hi-jinks) as the conservationist in the film cares for them first-hand and learns things about them each day that no one in the world knew about them prior to her raising it.

I believe we ended up with a mount that translated into "mountain goat meat!" True, but in this case, pangolin is pretty appropriate since it actually looks more like a pangolin than an armadillo.

Oglaf.1074 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I very much prefer the cute beetle. The only thing this skin has going for it is that it has a much more Norn-y saddle (as opposed to the Asuran-y one of the beetle)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbonasty.6953 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Oi! I like armadillo as much as the next guy, but with as underappreciated as pangolin are stateside, I am absolutely *delighted* to have a pangolin mount; Sure, change the name, but please, please, *do NOT* advocate changing it *into* an armadillo. I don't mind waiting for an actual armadillo. Great job, Anet, I'm actually happy with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should make an armadillo one as well, because why not both! =) But fer sure, keep this pangolin a pangolin, maybe it will help raise awareness for them.

Curunen.8729 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It's a cool skin, but I'll pass. Waiting for the inevitable "star...spin?" or whatever the star themed skin will be called. Either that or something totally different like a charr bike or full asura tech cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palador.2170 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I still want the charr bike, but I'll be honest. I HATE the bug. (It's a giant, mutated parasite, people!) So, I got this. Still want the charr bke, though. I'll buy that too, same price, as long as it looks good. I'll even forgive some asura tech or norn craftsmanship thrown in on it.
