Soes anyone know if Blizzard is going to fix the running animation for the shop kodo mount? It currently has the running animation of a horse.

“thats not a bug, its a feature”

Right, your definitely trolling lol. Its looks dumb and doesnt match the other running animations of the other existing kodos in game. An “extra feature” is something you have a actual choice on.
Between the low res and this gallop animation, I would definitely say it was a rushed product, doesnt mean they cant go back and fix it.

Unless you mean they are ACTUALLY using a horse animation for their running speed. Then it would be far more out of place why Kodos in generally aren’t galloping in the first place.

Why’d you buy it?
You could probably get a refund if you file a ticket in Battlenet WoW support or w.e.
The quality of WoW stuff, especially cosmetics, aren’t worth a dollar, imo.
Maybe some are, but most aren’t.
A lot of the rigging/animations/skeleton are a decade+ old at this point.
I just pay for the game, and try for rare mounts instead of the shop stuff. They look better, anyway, imo.

Again, i bought it because i liked the look,regardless of the res. i like kodos, even have the Brewfest one, but none of them gallop lol. It looks bad
That’s a shame, I didn’t know this one ran differently lol.
Hopefully they fix it, but this game has a load of animations bugs that regularly happen.

Yep thats what i meant. It gallops lol you dont know until you buy it. Looks like a regular kodo, doesnt run like one lol
Fair enough! I wish I could find a way to pull it up on Wowhead via dressing room or something but can’t seem to find it to do animation testing. xP

Does anyone happen to have a video of the running animation? I was going to hold off until the Kodo went on sale, but if it gallops then I may reconsider that stance…

Galloping makes more sense than a slow walk animation sped up by 100%

I heard the shop kodo does this so I’ve resisted the urge to summon it before it gets fixed.
Is it pretty bad? I bet it’s bad. I can imagine a horse-running kodo in my mind and that turns into a nightmare.

Wowhead doesn’t have it in the model viewer. I want to see a galloping kodo

No it doesnt, aesthetic it looks terrible because of how wide and low to the ground it is, it would be as crazy looking as a galloping clefthoof 
Stop it You know your trolling. Dont even know why im arguing I actually own it . Ill “parking lot pimp” it in the city but they need to fix the running animation. Anyone that wants to see how it looks, add me and next time im in game we can grp and I’ll show you live action how it looks.
Things that are low to the ground gallop for speed. Go look up an alligator galloping. Look up rhinos galloping, which is the closest analog to a kodo.

Is this the one the mount hailstorm whatever? because it does look goofy
Oh darn, I was hoping someone would have posted a video of the galloping Kodo by now so I could figure out whether I’m waiting for it to go on sale.

No, because the kodo is a reskinned horse model. Nothing to fix.
Your arguments are irrelevant, they have already established the running animation for the kodo thru the originals and all other incarnations that came after in the PVP mount and Brewfest mount. It stands to reason that if you liked the previous Kodo mounts is going to be the basic motivation for buying the new one for most ppl 
Cant compare real life animals that exist to ones that do not. I would’ve had liked to have known upfront about the galloping running animation, I wanted a “war” mount. I already had the old school PVP one. The extra armor warpainted looks dope to me and compliments my mog but that running animation… like I said ill parking lot pimp it 
, but move off flying 
you feel me?

Does it still hug the terrain like a normal kodo while using the wrong animation, or do you stay vertical all the time like a horse does?
The way they ride the terrain is my favorite part of kodo mounts.
