I mean, that's like the Netherwing should be, the netherwing drake you "own" are dragons that want to travel with you after you saved them.
The first and last clip look quite a bit off. The middle two are pretty great.
They are kind of similar to the Phase Stalker mounting animations when it comes to quality.
Love it
I can see and appreciate the intention, Blizz, I really do. Just gotta put a bit more work on the player side of the animations lol
Everyone that has/seen a Demon Hunter can agree that they could've used their Class Hall Mount mounting animation as baseline. The high jump with the landing on the mount over the 1.5s cast.Even the Hunter's Woldhawks had the hunter jumping after the initial whistling (at least on the Hunter campaign).
They should change the player animation where the player back flips onto the saddle of your mount.
Cool but who cares, this is basically just a polished borrowed power turd. Hey Blizzard, how bout you quit polishing turds that no one is going to bring with them either out of the dragon isles, or in the next expansion after dragonfart, and do something cool like this for mounts we can use everywhere/mounts we already have? I thought your "new philosophy" began with no more borrowed power, yet here we are again with the same old dance. Stop it. Get some help.
This is nice and all, but what I really want is for them to remove the mount cast altogether. They're so close to gw2's flying mounts with dragonriding, just copy this as well. It makes the game MUCH more fluid and less annoying. You can still have a nice animation for it, but the gameplay would get miles better.And for people that say instant mounting kills world pvp... lol? what world pvp xD. Keep your mount casts for legacy mounts for arena and rgb purposes
I was starteled by this animation thinking a mob or player came to bum rush me.
Player jumps obviously looks stupid (probably is being worked on anyway) but the dragon animation itself looks neat and this is a nice way forward.
The mount animation looks good but the character looks weird after jumping in the air, hovering there then snapping down into the seat. Needs some polish but it's good work so far.
Imagine wasting time and resources for this…As it looks now, this expac is going to be so boring very fast…
Another raid tier down the drain ... ;)
