Not a fan of the new drakes.

Unread post by Tulune »

I just saw someone showing off the North Wind drake, and I have to say, I am not a fan. Sure, it's shiny, but its massive underbite annoys me.

But then again i am very biased in favor of Protodrakes, those loveable T-Rex with wings :lol:

I love the way the new drakes look--I think they look like polished up versions of the "old school" ones.

I love proto-drakes as well, they're just so adorable. ^_^

I can't put my finger on it, but I really dislike the Wind Drake model in general. They just look kind of meh in game :?

I believe you can get one from the new PVP zone? *looks up* Here we go: http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/12/07/a-cat ... n-rewards/

Baradin's wardens/Hellscream's Reach sell you this one at exalted. :)

I'm kinda indifferent on the wind drakes. I really like the stone drakes though.

I actually kind of like it. Looks like a refined version of Deathwing. Seems like it has his same jaw and body structure only not as big. :D

The wind drakes I could take or leave (I'll probably still get one though).
I do really like the stone drakes though. :)

I love the Wind drakes. They remind me of the Netherdrakes in a way (with that shark-like skull shape) in the head, and in their colors. I'm actually working on the Tol Barad one. I'll be Revered tomorrow and I'm currently at 69 tokens (need exalted and 200 tokens). I hope to get the others though eventually.

As for the stone drakes.. LOVE. I just wish there was one I could rep grind. I'm not lucky with rare drops. Though one is the Heroic dungeon achievement, so maybe at some point?

The final one, the Alchemist mount I'm saving up for. Gonna cost about 30k to do. So... I have a LOT of pyrium to transmute... oi!

I love the chins personally, and would love to get one...I like how the wind drakes stand up taller than most of the other drakes (They're dragons, why are they always so low to the ground?) The stone ones (only one I've seen in person is the Viterious or whatever) are definatelly bright in the areas they glow...they're cool, but I would definately want a Sky drake the most.
