    Should of been a bigger body, bigger mane and a goldenish color. Looks like they just transferred the lion head to the lioness body. I think it sucks. Could of been better oh well.

    Agree. I was all ready to buy it until I saw what it looked like. Kinda looks like a cheap knockoff of a lion. For the price didn't seem worth it so I passed.

    I don't like the 2005 looking low resolution mane and the non aggressive look of the ''king''(more like a cuddly kitty) lion.

    Its a copy with superficial changes to the mesh. One step up from a recolour but still a cynical attempt to get more money for the least amount of effort.

    And if they extensively designed a lion mount from the first pixel, giving it exquisite detail and beauty, with every hair individually rendered, they would get a chorus of, "OMG, stop with Crown Story money-grab fluff and fix Cyro LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!"

    Everyone already says that, so your white knighting of zos isn't needed.

    Ya know, I thought about pointing out that having a little fun at the expense of the playerbase was hardly "white knighting."

    Then I realized there's no real need to defend myself againt a term that means "not a raging ***" from someone who thinks "not a raging ***" is actually an insult.

    Try laughing a little. It'll help.

    No.

    Agreed. Whoever came up with the design should be shot in the foot and only admitted to hospital when he manages to find 3 other people willing to maim themselves the same way in order to accompany him.

    Totally irrelevant. ESO isnt about going over the top, flashy. ESO has its own style. I played Tera for years and I also got the lion mount you provided, yet I could still appreciate the one we got in ESO. I bought it and I enjoy it. And the same will happen with the Wolf mount.

    You're expecting different mesh from the people who decided to stop making female versions of armor? ZOS makes everything to the male torso and then slaps two distorted blobs on to say it is feminine.

    Well many things that ZOS sales is just a re-texture of what they already have and something easily molded (like his hair)... I dont get it why they have such a problem with anything that is more "flowy" their servers cant handle it?

    It's the same with all the senche mounts. They all use the exact same model as the tiger with different colours. If they were making them realistic the only two that should be identical are the leopard and the panther (and even then the panther could be a melanistic jaguar or cougar).

    I suspect ZOS assumed the differences were subtle enough that most people wouldn't notice or care.

    Which, in a world where Disney seem to think they can pass off a North American grizzly bear as an Indian sloth bear may not be an unreasonable assumption.

    The problem with that is they specifically called it the Pride-King Lion, which implies that it's a dominant male. A young male like that is highly unlikely to have a pride unless there are very few males around.

    It's completely relevant. It's not about the art style, it's about the fact that the Tera team put in the effort to make their male lion look male. Not just a copy and paste of the lioness with a badly formed wig on.

    But alas, if non-discerning customers keep rewarding mediocrity with their purchases, then all we'll ever get is mediocrity.

    I love the new lion mount. It's the perfect size for me. The camel was *for me* a little too large and same with the horse. I'm thrilled with my new mount. :)

    it would not even be server-side - but client-side - flexible parts which do not directly effect others are done on the client machine normally.

    Now these pictures are quite convincing - it is a young lion, while the lioness is an adult animal - this way it makes sense and it is actually well done by ZOS - the mount looks very much like that young lion in that picture.

    If the male lion was castrated, then mane growth would be prohibited. So one of the artists took the liberty of cutting the gonads off, thus hurting testosterone creation, thus a weaker mane.

    That mount looks lame. The ESO one is a hundred times better. I can't believe you posted that as an example lmao.

    The new lion mount is perfect and I wouldn't change it in any way.
