I always thought the unicorn mounts run really strangely. Their back legs seem to both move out at the same time so you can see the bones at the top both move backward and really far up like they're rabbits. Maybe it's the model, maybe it's the animation, not sure, but definitely strange.
I just want the original run for the acherus charger back
Glad to see some mounts getting some love finally, now if they'djust fix the emerald drake to not look blind....
Horses when, Blizzard?I know you have it in you. It was almost there in the Wrath beta when for one brief, beautiful moment, the DK mount had a believable horse's gait. And then you changed it to match the godawful bounding nonsense the other horse mounts do that no real life horse has done in the history of ever.IT'S BEEN SIXTEEN YEARS, BLIZZARD. JUST GIVE ME THIS, I BEG YOU.
They should add new animations for boar mounts, even the one from Maldraxxus reputation still uses the WOD ones, which is weirdly enough almost identical with the animation of Triceratop mounts...
I think it's a very good improvement. It doesn't look as stiff
The talbuk changes feel SO much better, the vanilla horse animations haven't dated well, and i'm glad these are removed from that rig. Would love to see a horse update someday, the running animation and the /mountspecial clipping hard into the character model really ruin all these great new horses we've been seeing since Legion. Hippogryph is a lot more subtle, but feels much better. The mammoth run animation is SO much better! Agh i love it.
I actually don't really like the new hippogryph animation, i have always really liked the smoth and linear running animation of hippogryphs right now. And i dont really like the up and down animation of it here.
The Griffon also got new animations :)
Thanks for taking time improving old stuff like this Blizzard! Will appreciate the older mammoth/talbuk mounts more if their animation feels/looks better.
don't see any difference...
Good! Lets now fix the sitting/riding animation of Glacial Tidestorm please... such a beautiful mount but ruined
This is awesome, I love my talbuk mounts but thoroughly hate their silly rocking back and forth motion with their dumb flapping tails. I really hope this also applies to the old BC talbuks.The mammoth change is welcome also, they were always clunky (again, the silly rocking back and forth thing)Hippogryph is less obvious, so we'll see if it makes much of a difference, I never minded their animation in the first place
For some reason the videos won't play for me.
I really love(d) the Hippogryph and Talbuk animations. Why exactly are they making models and animations worse every few years?Just look how ugly the new talbuks are compared to the old ones from BC.
cool.
true blizz thinking. give us what we dont ask for and screw up with what we do ask for
I'm SO very unhappy with the talbuk news. I HATE the prancing animation for running. It just looks SO odd. I hate that they've changed so many thing to that animation. I used to love rocking my stag pets and then they changed to that animation and....I just can't. I hope to GOD this is only for the ugly new talbuks and not the traditional ones from outlands.
Changes that NO ONE asked for.... neat.
