It's the slime cat mount recolored, isn't it?

Call me picky, but I think the red and gold armor on all the lunar mounts clashes with some of them. Looks ok on the Ox, for example because it fits the colors, but really doesn’t go with this.

I get the armor may be that color for a reason, but you could have mounts inspired by the zodiac symbols and still make the colors go together. Would have looked cool with that blue with some silvery armor.

Maybe something similar to the Vicious White Bonesteed/Warsaber mounts would have looked awesome.

That was good I’ll give you that.

Something gross you explosively blow out your nose when you live with too many cats and your vacuum cleaner is broke.

I’m not sure how anyone got “goo kitty” out of this.

It’s literally updated Xuen without the spikes. And spectral, not in any way goo. :woman_shrugging:

Lots of mounts share rigging. Rigging mounts is complicated and there’s no reason to do 30 different skeletons for 30 different cats. It isn’t time efficient, it isn’t game data efficient. There’s probably only like 1-2 different mount skeletons per mount race. It is the only sensible way to do it.

It’s definitely drippier than Xuen was. Walking and flying it’s got some “discharge.”

Looks nothing like the spectral tiger though. The skeleton and animations are different and the armor and general aesthetic isn’t similar at all.

That’s a water effect. Because that’s what this year is.

Last year we had a competition for a free mount we’d get this year. Slime cat was one of them, but didn’t win. The tree mount won.

Ooh, when do we get the boiling cauldron mount?

Which is a hop, skip, and a jump away from being whatever “goo” a recolored mount would require it to be.

The entire claim that it’s a recolored goo cat makes absolutely zero sense on any level, because the goo cat was never made and it’s literally the Xuen/Ban Lu model.

I don’t know why you people have to pull stuff out of thin air and twist things to make stuff up. :woman_facepalming:

I’m not making anything up.

I’m saying it could be repurposed into a goo cat, which it can, not that it was the goo cat to begin with.

Lighten up, Francis.

I’m going by the OP’s complaint that it’s a recolored goo cat.

Name an MMORPG that uses 100% new assets every time?

FF14 makes a new thing but uses the same skeleton it is okay.
SWTOR makes the same looking villain every time and that’s okay
EQ 1 and EQ 2 do the same thing and no one bats an eye.

But when WoW does something that uses the same skeleton or is a recolor, then everyone loses their dang mind.
