Sazukikrah.5036 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Waiting for Aurene mount skins like: ![](https://i.imgur.com/cAZYkcT.jpg "") Or a Horse / Pegasus / Unicorn/ Dragon mount would be fine too. HINT HINT ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlinvf.1358 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I'm still suspecting Aurene is gonna learn crystal cloning, and we'll get that as a mount skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoni.7015 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I don’t like Aurene and I don’t want to ride on her. Would be cool she sacrifices herself to defeat Kralkatorrik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I dyed the branded mounts to be Aurene themed. (My story is she accidentally branded them when saving Amnoon and they were going to be put down, but because Aurene did it they obey her and she likes me so vicariously they like me.) ![](https://i.imgur.com/EaQsvwPh.jpg "") On the topic of Aurene as a mount: I think it's highly unlikely we'll ever just get an Aurene skin for the griffon (or any other mount) because it would be really weird and immersion breaking to have dozens of her around. Plus it just doesn't seem like something Anet would do. Most of the cosmetics we get, especially mount skins, are originals, not copies of existing NPCs. But I'll also be very surprised if we never get to ride her during a story instance, and I hope it's a large, open area so it's worth going back to repeat it/explore.

KronosBaelfire.6289 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Patience? HA!!! STOP TEASING US ANET!!! WE KNOW IT'S COMING!!!! I saw that motion Aurene was doing at the end of the trailer, using the griffon idle animation!!!!! Now, what colors should I use for my FUTURE Aurene mount skin....

Dante.1763 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Talk about immersion breaking, Shes not a pet, or a minion. And as to the animations, recycling animations is nothing they have not done before, theyve done it more than once in the game. I could be wrong, but im really hoping im not.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing .... I really doubt she will be a skin. If she is actually done as a mount she would not be a reskin of a griffon but a new mount and the skins would be variations of how she could look.

Yea Aurene uses same animation as Griffon when in idle mode, it was first seen in Sandswept Isles. I know its coming EVEN IF ITS A COLLECTION IM READY FOR IT. Just like a Crack in the Ice when you had to do collection for Gift of Aurene. That was actually fun. ![](https://i.imgur.com/8xAWVsK.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I'm patiently waiting for my Rytlock mount. I mean, if we're saddling up sentient creatures then a charr revenant would be a great jackal skin for my asura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 1. She'll eventually get to big 2. There's only one Aurene, meaning every time someone mounts up, the other gets dismounted (midair). 3. It woulda break the game if we could fly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brenda.9723 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I hope we will not get a skin that is usable in open-world PVE. Because that would totally break her character. She is a dragon, not a random pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It woulda break the game if we could fly That's the other reason I hope it will happen in a story instance - that way they could give us true flight without it breaking the game. And that way in terms of lore and the plot it would be a one-off, with appropriate circumstances to explain why she allowed us to ride her, but those of us who want to could go back and replay it whenever we want. It wouldn't be as fun as being able to fly her anywhere in the game, but it also wouldn't be as lore-breaking or game-breaking. (Alternatively someone could make a decent Pern game and then I can stop looking for other games to let me have a dragon...but that seems less likely at this point.)

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I hope we don’t get Aurene as a mount. She is a dragon and a partner in the fight to save Tyria, not a reskin of a griffin for us to sit on while idling in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einsof.1457 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Arena net please do not add an aurene mount I know it's tempting but it will really break immersion in my opinion... Add a dragon skin if you must but leave aurene alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majic.4801 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I'm on board with this, but only if we can also have a Kasmeer Raptor, a Taimi/Scruffy Skimmer, a Garm Jackal and a Rytlock Springer. I'm patient. I can wait. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Horizons (now renamed to something something Istaria) still exists. In that game you can *play* a dragon as one of the zillion PC races, you start as a hatchling and go through some long epic quests to do a couple of stages of growth to full Ancient Dragon. Your size goes up and you get flight. Now, do I recommend the game otherwise? Not so much, it's pre-WoW and I doubt they've redone the engine or graphics. But hey, dragon. I'm somewhat in the no-Aurene-mount camp myself. A different dragony skin maybe, could be explained by Aurene having the power to make a construct for you or something. But it just won't look right for a bunch of Aurenes to be soaring around, not to me, and I'm generally fine with all sorts of odd skins in this game (I didn't even have a problem with the flamekissed T3 human cultural armor for everyone). I think it's rubbing me the wrong way because it feels similar to RP'ing that a major canon character is your lover or you are one of the setting's top government officials and demanding that all the random RPers around you accept your version. There's only one Aurene, her lore is established, so seeing duplicates with each one going "I have the unique Aurene here" would be jarring.

Tzarakiel.7490 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 As the commander you are the closest thing Aurene has to a living parent/guardian and you want to ride her like a mount? That's just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
