Frostfang.5109 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Piece together YOUR dream skyscale... to help A-net se what we find attractive in a dragon skin. Here is my dream skyscale: * Head: Medium triangular, rather big, expressive eyes (not as light as the shimmerwings and not as heavy/klunky as the default skyscales). * Body: Medium, like Aurenes or the Axejaws (Default skyscale is too heavy ans shimmerwings too thin). * Wings: Three fingered, like Aurenes and webbed, like Aurenes or any skyscale except for the shimmerwing. * Spikes/fins: Spikes along the spine with web in between, similar to a fish back fin or to what we ser in the shimmerwings front legs. Also spikes/fins at the base of the tail that are stiff in flight (not like a flopping skirt like in the shimmerwing), and a spikes/fin at the tip of the tail like the shimmerwing has. Also at the jawline, like the shimmerwing has. Also on the front legs, like the shimmerwing has. The tail fins should be folded when the skyscale stands still (not when stretching). * Colors: Oily/shimmering. The dyes of the scales/main body Schould behave similar as the shimmerwings wings. When you apply a dye, it could shimmering in either warm or cold colours depending on the warmt of the chosen dye. White could shimmer in Glints colours for example, Black like a magpie shimmers in blue and green.... and so on. The dye channels should be 1, main body, 2, chest, 3, spikes +horns and 4, fins. At night there should be a glow/bioluminescense that Aurenes has to the throat, chest, side of the neck and tail, and a little bit on the bony parts of the wings. * Horns: Not too heavy, and pointing bakc/upwards. * Fire: either like the shimmerwings or Aurenes. * Animations: A stretch that is like the Griffons but with a jawn and the wings being riset upwards an extended as the skyscale does the final part of the Griffons stretch. A feeding animation could be that the skyscale snatches a sanke that comes up from a hole in the ground. * Footfals: Like the shimmerwings! The impression of this creature should be exotic and muscular, yet slender/agile. It will give the impression of being able to dive inte the sea to catch food and agile in flight. THIS is my dream skyscale! How is yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anninke.7469 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Well, I have her right now. The basic skyscale is probably not the prettiest, but that's the one "I" raised. So it's the right one, at least for my main. Otherwise I'd like a plant-ish Sylvari style skyscale (as wel as the rest of mounts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udolpho.1209 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Asuran tech helicopter attached to head, like a propeller gadget hat. With grappling hook. Occasionally spits out disturbing sparks/smoke or drops a gear/shakes mid-air. On landing hat falls off and explodes. 4 dye channals, 4th one dyes the smoke/sparks/explosions. Animations are mainly character player ones. Ideally as a set of Asuran tech mount "replacements": giant coiled foot springs for springer, hoverboard for skimmer, rocket launcher for raptor, magical blink/teleport device for jackel, tron bike for roller beetle, astro boy jet boots (with changing arm poses) for griffon. Or along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithranArkanere.8957 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I go with a helmet that covers the eyes, making it look like it doesn't have eyes, like a how [Fellbeasts](http://fantasy.mrugala.net/John%20Howe/John%20Howe%20-%20Eowin%20et%20le%20seigneur%20des%20Nazguls.jpg "Fellbeasts ") are often depicted.

Wulfbane.4679 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Randulf...thanks for the memories Before I clicked on the clip I thought ...Neverending Story...afterwards the theme music started going thru my mind and had to go look it up :) I don't buy alot of mount skins but I would consider getting 'Falkor' the luckdragon...maybe I'll go back to work on the skyscale....unless someone wants to sell me a saddle ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxykat.6519 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 There are so many they could do..the classic elements (fire, ice, air, earth) would be nice, as those are themes a lot of players are doing on their toons. A stone gargoyle would me my personal pick, but any winged creature could be a variant. The possibilities are endless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauderi.8706 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm good with the basic design, even if it's a butterface. The head feels so crammed that detail gets lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYLO.7031 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm not too picky about skins. Just the shimmer scale head and I'm content. BTW, if the new sets of skyscale skins had a single skin with the shimmer scale head, I would have bought them. As it stands, someone else said it best: I don't want a dragon mount with a pug face. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just give me the following skins as Skyscales, and I'll be happy: * Shadow of the Dragon * Risen Dragon (aka Tequatl the Sunless) * Claw of Jormag * The Shatterer * Death-Branded Shatterer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasculio.2914 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I wish we had a pack including skins for all the older mount packs (such as the Exosuit one, the Mad Realm one, the Awakened one, and so on). We got a Branded one on the last pack, but I wish we could customize all our mounts under the same theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoEliteSixSixSix.8935 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Just give me something that looks like Toothless and I'll be a happy man. Realistically, though, just give me an Exo-suit skin to match the rest of my mounts. Or armor everything else up like the Dreadnaught raptor. That would be pretty spiffy.

bird.5920 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Either something absolutely horrifying (Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls?) or...some sort of bird/dinosaur/bat. A bat would be cute, with a little snub nose. Maybe a chicken or a bearded vulture for the more avian side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben K.6238 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I thought Aurene's hatchling form already had a rather uncanny resemblance. (I originally referred to her as Shameless for that reason.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneirikb.7506 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 And invisible Skyscale, that makes the rider invisible, that I can buy Gemstore, and apply to everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jski.6180 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I am still do not have one and i do not feel the need to get one but i do love Panzer Dragoon a lot and i am a bit shocked no one suggested it. http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Panzer_Dragoon_Art_01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Priestess.9760 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 ![](https://i.imgur.com/AzavQbk.jpg "") Upward pointed horns! Also, a nice, fleshy undead dragon would be nice: ![](https://i.imgur.com/BT09guD.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygdrasill.9135 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I like the basic model. It reminds me of Aurene before she ascended. I'm very glad they did a skin set that kept the basic shape and just gave us more patterns and dye channels. Now if they did a tribute to Mothra skin, I'd probably buy it, but that's unlikely.

Cynder.2509 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 A Rathalos would be neat but Capcom and ArenaNet will never agree to one another for such crossover. On the other hand it would be kinda weird if a monster from the Monster Hunter franchise would appear in Tyria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
