[VISUAL BUG] Draconic Gladiator’s Drake

Hi there, as we head into Midnight, I would like to bring this to someone’s attention if possible the mount has some major visual bugs that were oversights when the artists recolored the Crimson Gladiator’s Drake:

• Currently, it has orange sparks that come from it’s head, could we get those particle effects changed the correct colors of the mount? This is the first major bug.

• The glow effects especially on the top half of the wings don’t show at all during the day & in zones where it’s bright in comparison to the Crimson’s Gladiator Drake’s glow where they always show. The glow effect is muted in comparison to the other 3 Dragonflight mounts (Crimson/Obsidian & Verdant) This is the second major bug.

Demonic Storm Dragon had this issue as well; it was fixed in BfA (mouth & feet were blue while wings were green).

There have been multiple posts about this mount on both EU & NA:

In one of the EU posts, a blue answered & said it was fixed in 11.1 (it was not the wings & sparks are still bugged!)

I’m hoping the mount can be fixed like the Demonic Gladiator’s Storm Dragon was back in BfA & the new Astral Gladiator’s Fel Bat was recently! You could imagine for someone with OCD that this would be quite triggering to see orange sparks & uneven bugged particle effects on the wings!

Thank you!

In the name of fashion, I support this.

You’ll want to edit your post using the pencil icon and move it over to the Bug Report forum instead. CS is not involved in fixing bugs :wink:

Edit: Looks like this is now moved from CS to Bug Reports :slight_smile:

Orange sparkles.

Rainbow confetti.

Orange sparkles?

:dracthyr_a1:

Also minor thing but Shadowlands glad drakes hand in their hover animation for a few seconds after takeoff, and s2-4 drakes use the s1 drake vfx (black smoke that doesn’t match) but I guess that’s another issue.

Yup, orange vs blue is quite jarring.

I agree! The glow effects of the mount are bugged to be greatly diminished from what they should be.
