I'm glad they're not replacing the old ones, as I do like the charm of the old ones, but man do I LOVE these and hope there's one the Horde can drop in the new Warfront!
Apparently unpopular opinion: I think these new versions aren't very good. Model is fine, but the textures lack the diversity the old models have. Where are my spotted and striped textures? Loved them back when I got my first mount.Also what is wrong with the running animation? Am I the only one seeing this? It's like in slow motion, especially noticable when jumping, there is a visible disconnect in animation speed during the running and the jumping animation.
Yup, theyre slowly updating the older mounts. I can guarantee that these will replace the current standard night elf mount once they finish all of the proper colors for them. The kodos and horse did get new models. You cant look at the screen shot on White Kodo then look at the model viewer and simply think they updated the textures. The kodo was completely remodeled, and the gilnean mountain horse received the new horse model introduced BFA.
looks great! glad they didn't add big bulky armor to it
KITTY I WANT.
What breed of horse is this?
This are most likely just for npcs in Darkshore Warfront
I dont know while i love the HD textures the old ones look bigger and more fierce :P
They're so... FLUFFY. :D
Ofc they won't update the old ones...what would you farm then...no reason to play the game and pay them a monthly fee...
orange variation? kmon
Well, these look great. I'd much prefer seeing them replace original mounts as it makes sense to update parts of the game in phases. They can add different color and armor options for rare drops in Darkshore, nothing stopping them from doing that. Just like there is nothing stopping them from replacing original mounts. I love the old ones about as much as I love Warcraft 3, but that doesn't mean it couldn't stand to be updated (cough, StarCraft Remastered).
do people not rememebr the "original" mounts that were "updated"?they have updated the base models once before (i only wish i kept the original one now instead of trading it in for newer one /cri)
God damn.....I don't know what to say about WoW players......do you people suffer from brain injuries? Do you do nothing but complain about every single thing in your life? I simply do not understand.
Art team is doing well.Now if only they could fix the clipping issues on Nightborne heritage armor, something that's been an issue since before it went live.
So glad they didn't went with the Val'sharah / Suramar Nightsaber models for this. But to be honest all old Race mounts should get an HD version update, as long as they stay true to the original model... imagine HD Rams or HD Mechanostriders... or HD Undead Warhorses!
