    I haven't seen it in-game but I'm not a fan of any of the atronach style mounts, and they tend to be very over the top with the effects. It doesn't bother me when other people use mounts with huge summoning animations, but if I use them I'd end up seeing it all the time and it would just get annoying and would put me off using the mount. I wouldn't want to spend that many seals (I never buy crates) for something I'm going to get sick of quickly and swap out.

    I have it already, I like it. I like rich visual effects. 600 gems is cheap for it. It has
    • a summoning animation,
    • seperate roaring animation(flashy, hits like a lightning, I like it),
    • seperate animation after roaring ends(smoke),
    • also constant visual effects(electric arcs).
    It is like a radiant apex mount, it would easily fit into a 2500 gems spot of a crown crate. Also it's more rare because it is not available for a long duration and you can't get it dropped from a crate.

    People have different standards for 'too flashy'.

    For me it's not about details like how much bloom there is, it's that my ideal for a mount summoning animation is nothing at all - the mount just appears. (Maybe if it's a magical creature it could fade in rather than appearing immediately, but still no extra effects.) So anything added to it is more than I want and if it lasts for more than a second or takes up more space than the mount itself it's likely to be too much and put me off getting it. It doesn't matter what that is, if a bunch of realistic plants which don't glow at all appeared around the mount and disappeared after 3 seconds that would still be too flashy for me and I'd rather have something which doesn't do that.

    I haven't purchased any gem-exclusive item since we got Seals of Endeavors. Even older exclusive mounts lost their value for me when they started recycling them... So I intentionally skipped this awesome bear when it was released, and I was going to skip him again.

    But this thread actually made me realize two things:

    1) it's "just" 400 gems, compared to usually higher gem-exclusive mount prices :o

    2) really good special Apex mounts are rare (especially nowadays); we just get more or less bland creatures for 400 gems season after season :/ And when it comes to Radiants, designers like to tease my inner perfectionist: almost each time they make good-looking mount, they assign simple (unedited) voice to it :'(

    The look is not enough! I like my special mounts to have special voices, especially now that their rarity is no longer the reason to go for them ("thanks" to the gem shop and the seals shop).

    I own some older gem-exclusive mounts whose quality is better than some Radiant Apex mounts. And this bear with crazy special effects and heavily-edited voice is one of new ones who can rival all gem-exclusives (including Legion Zero Charger who has nothing special going on except for awesome "mounting up" effect) and many Radiant Apex mounts as well.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Tf8Cw7vlOA

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTYRVQPmByk

    The only thing which disappoints me: the trail after rearing up lasts just a few seconds (same as in Storm Atronach Apex mounts). I don't know why designers don't allow all special mounts to keep their trail effects permanently after rearing up (until dismount) :'(
    Frost Atronach Radiant Apex mounts are the only ones who can do this, and they must be cherished and held as example of awesomeness <3
    "Comments in this thread should contain natch potes memes and hype."

    Please, add ability to use all new idle animations on every mount!

    Please, fix the bugged lights! They ruin visuals of environment and mounts.

    I cannot handle the animation of the bear mounts... they make me literally nauseous. There are only a few mount types that I can ride without feeling sick, probably why SENCHE has been my go-to mount for years. It's smooth, no jerking. I do like the Dwarven Spiders as well, the bipedals aren't bad, a horse is ok... but most others is a no. They do work well for my companions tho! ;)

    Nah... its a hard pass for me.
    No; I do not plan to purchase it. Although I could probably afford it and believe that it is a bargain for the quality of its special effects, I don't especially desire it for the following reasons:

    1) I don't especially like bear mounts in general, and
    2) Its style does not suit my taste.

    Generally speaking, I prefer the following types of mounts:

    1) Mounts that are themed on the beauty of nature (such as the Silver Nimbus Wolf or the Green-Graht Ghost Cat), or
    2) Mounts that are themed on the arcanism of magic (such as the Storm Atronach Wolf or the Varla-Born Wolf), or
    3) Mounts that are themed on the eternity of vampirism (Sanguinare Vampiris) or remind me of such (such as the Shadow-Rider Senche or the Sanguivorian Howler), or
    4) Mounts that are constructs (such as the Ebon Steel Dwarven Spider or the Ebony Dwarven Spider).

    Currently, I am trying to assign each of my characters a unique and dedicated Dwarven Spider mount. Although the Ebony Dwarven Spider might not seem very flashy, it suits my taste most because it has a unique motion that is activated by pressing the space bar after summoning, and because it hints at ancient but technically advanced technology. It vaguely reminds me of the TIE Advanced X1, which was the TIE fighter used by Darth Vader in "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope" (not to imply that I am a "Star Wars" aficionado): Neither may seem very impressive from a distance; however, upon closer examination, both have distance advantages over the standard versions. In the case of this mount, in addition to emanating blue fire in its unique standstill jump motion, it has exhaust fumes that glow at night, special lighted rear ducts, and an underneath lighting effect that shines beneath the mount and indirectly illuminates its surroundings as it travels.
