...Oh wow. They actually went out of their way to make a whole new model for once instead of another model rehash.
Now watch as Blizzard MAGICALLY turns it into 15 other mobs and 7 bosses!

Why wouldn't they? That's a freaking huge amount of work to develop a brand new model to be thrown away after the first use.Slapperfish wrote:...Oh wow. They actually went out of their way to make a whole new model for once instead of another model rehash.

What Wain said. Seriously, it takes a lot of time and effort to create these gorgeous models; why shouldn't Blizzard get extra mileage out of them?

QFT, Wain. Mount rehashes arent bad. Most of them you'd never notice unless you were really looking for it or are very pessimistic. XDWain wrote:Why wouldn't they?

Here a "rehash" for you.... Did you ever notice that a Nether Ray and a Dragonhawk have the exact same core skeleton and animations..? yet they are so very very different. If you give blizzard a chance, you will be surprised at what they can do with a few clever changes.

It's true! They've gotten a lot of mileage from that skeleton.Spiritbinder wrote:Here a "rehash" for you....

Re: New Models - Chromatic Dragon and Chromatic Dragon Mount
I just swapped between a dragonhawk and a Nether Ray and my mind was blown.
Wouldn't mind more mounts with this skeleton.
It looks cool. Wouldn't be surprised if we got basic colours in MoP of this beast.

God... I finally got WMV working right again and after looking at all of the animations... I SERIOUSLY NEED this mount. I have just absolutely fallen in love. I'd trade Ashes of Al'ar for this any day if I could.

Re: New Models - Chromatic Dragon and Chromatic Dragon Mount
Ooh, Mia's right. The actual flight animation has proper wing propulsion, in the video they only showed the idle one which has that odd backwards motion.
It has a swim animation too that's really neat, it's a side meander similar to serpents.

If you have the PTR downloaded and updated, just make sure WMV is set to read the PTR files rather than your actualy WoW folder. It's in there under chromaticdragon and such.

Ah, no wonder I couldn't find it then. I haven't updated the PTR in a while. Thanks, I'll have to do that now.Vephriel wrote:If you have the PTR downloaded and updated, just make sure WMV is set to read the PTR files rather than your actualy WoW folder. It's in there under chromaticdragon and such.
Re: New Models - Chromatic Dragon and Chromatic Dragon Mount
I really hope this isn't the rogue legendary mount, this is unlike the staff legendary in that it's a unique model, i really don't want to see rogues on it knowing i'll never get one.

Re: New Models - Chromatic Dragon and Chromatic Dragon Mount
Wow.. that looks like a very spastic mount to ride. His flight animation is very fast and even the back flip /mountspecial. It looks like a sped up Dragonhawk the way he "swims" through the air. I could totally see people getting "sea sick" while riding it. No ground animations yet, I see.

Nah it's not. Rogue's dont get a mount -per se. They just get wings.Reimmi wrote:I really hope this isn't the rogue legendary mount, this is unlike the staff legendary in that it's a unique model, i really don't want to see rogues on it knowing i'll never get one.

Which, to clarify last I heard, aren't even a mount at all, but rather a slowfall:Jessibelle wrote:Nah it's not. Rogue's dont get a mount -per se.

The wings also appear on the combat proc as well, but unless it's been changed rogues do not get a legendary mount, wings or dragon or otherwise. :PBlizzard wrote:In addition, the wings which can be spread on command (with no combat benefit) to slow a rapid descent, allowing the rogue to slowly fall to the ground... or enact a little death from above!
