asterix.9614 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I couldn't stop laughing at the jackal and the bunny ones the wings just looked horrendous XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warkind.6745 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I would like to know if the wings were added to be cute or deliberately hilarious because they totally look out of place on these malevolently grinning mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyger.1637 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I think they'd sell better if there was an outfit in a similar style to match them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crepuscular.9047 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 wings are fine, except for raptor and jackal's placement location, looks awful... raptor looks like a de-feathered charred chicken... need to shift it back to be center of the saddle jackal needs the wings to be between the handle and the saddle other than that, wish they are bigger, 3 times the size on raptor, springer and jackal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that logic is then it only really makes sense to use them at Halloween, and I'm not going to spend 1,600 gems on mounts for 1 month a year. That's the same reason I didn't buy the spooky and Wintersday packs and was disappointed when it took months to get anything except festival themed packs and purely RNG skins for mounts.

kharmin.7683 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The wings were a turn-off for me, too. Better luck next time, Anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yargesh.4965 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 First mount pack i have bought. Really like them for the most part. Wings could have been differently done but not a huge problem for me. I absolutely love what you can do with different dye combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funky.4861 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I love the wings, and the bats- they were the major selling points for me. I already had the spooky set from last year, but when i clapped eyes on the mad realm set i knew i had to have it :) Raptor becomes a mini-dragon, jackal is demonic, bunny is the stuff of nightmares, ironically it's the already-winged mounts which are a bit lacklustre for me but idm, dyes can make or break them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeefa.3915 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I like the wings on them, I'd probably find them a bit dull without. Not that it matters much in my case, since I'm not going to buy either way. Don't have a lot of money to spend on stuff, so got to skip on a lot of stuff.

casualkenny.9817 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The one i dislike is the raptor's wings. It looks like wings that were designed based on another mount, then cut and pasted on the raptor. It might look better if angled and placed like some of the backpacks out there (like the recent new backpack-glider) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldem.8462 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 This is one of the most dissappointing features added to the game for me because the visual, glow and face is very good that i really want to buy them but those weird bats and wings blurs the beauty of the base, shadowy concept. Why the bats even come inside of a bunny or a griffon? I think it has way too much effects it suppose to be. Please Anet, remake or make an alternative of those skins without wings and bats. This skin has way more potential without them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This skin has way more potential without them! I actually agree with this. I was stoked to see the new mount package and was ready to buy. But ... when I previewed them and saw the bat wings?? Thats a hard no from me. I was disapointed but, a lot of people like these skins I guess? Hopefully we will get another set like these shadowy mounts, sans wings! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they weren't a deal killer for me, but they are. :-( I'd have purchased them for sure if not for those wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the same reason I didn't buy the spooky and Wintersday packs and was disappointed when it took months to get anything except festival themed packs and purely RNG skins for mounts. That's the entire purpose behind the Festival mount skins, so you have skins that you use during the Festival...keep in mind it's a one time purchase and you now have the skins to use every single year when that Festival rolls around. So in 12 years you'll have used them for 12 whole months, or if you prefer, one single year. Also, for those that dislike the bat wings, just think about it, they're serving their purpose...it's to make it look silly and/or cute, they're supposed to be Halloween costumes for your mounts.

Narrrz.7532 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I thought the wings looked stupid initially but tbh they've grown on me since I bought the mount pack. Still don't understand the omission of the beetle tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
