That is the majority of threads on the forums.  It drives views and possible clicks of advertising.

It is generally fine when somebody asks for opinions on something, the issues tend to arise when folks start telling each other that their opinions are wrong - or - folks state their opinions are superior.  Then a thread becomes "hot"...

The detail in the animations of that mount are amazing and among the best ive ever seen.

The game looks very very good, I see no real problems with the mount.  OK, it is far better done than most mounts I have seen in other games.  At one point in the video I would almost swear I saw it panting from the run.  There were a couple of gotchas but nothing serious.

Guild Wars 2 looks to have a challanger.  My only regret is that it is Pay to Play...  Which sucks.

Looks fine to me.

You would not be interested anyway,after all it is a Chinese MMO,right?

From those screenshots you can tell it's not a chinese themed game , so you kinda missed the point...

OP,we have this in the West too,just check Rift mounts :p Anyway it's not gamebreaking or immersion breaking for me.

 

Rift mounts... VG mounts... Western games have the most fugly mounts lol.

I liked the 'jarjar' personally, I thought it was a lot of fun, and animated superbly.

Rift mounts are way up their with this mount,i mean that freaking horse zebra type mount looks pathetic but it's not game breaking.

As for Vanguard well IMO it has the best mounts of any MMO to date. 

Camels-Horses and many many more inluding great flying mounts.

Just look at the racial mounts of Vanguard which is not all mounts in the game.

Wow...just gotta say wow...

Firstly, way to go on hijacking a thread which you want to defend to the death. Seriously, how is posting info on some random chinese game helping your cause?

Secondly, dont know if you were so busy copy pasting images without even knowing / realizing that this game is Dark and Light, ie the biggest public failure of a MMO in the history of MMOs. How big a failure you ask? Big enough that the developers got sued for stealing software and they lost on the defense and had to pay damages. They tried to cover their ass and brought charges on that plaintiff and lost even that suit.

These guys are THAT big of a failure. And you want to use them as an example of how stellar chinese games are? Hilarious.

You might wanna do some research before jumping down the throats of anyone who doesnt share your blind zealousness on the matter at hand, son. Farlan / NPCube were* the laughing stock of the MMO industry and using them to make a point in your favour is so very pathetic.

Also that game wasnt made in china(tm). It wasnt developed in china, but is getting hosted by a chinese gaming company since after the previous lawsuit debacle its believed that the remaining NPCube / Farlan team ran away to china to dodge the charges and no other reputable company would host or harbour these crooks other than the chinese publisher you want to commend.

*were - the spot for the current worst dev / dev team ever is a matter of speculation since Dr. SMRT and Starvault are just as worthless as NPCube were depending on whom you ask

@Topic, Did not like that mount. Looks like they are trying too hard to make things stick out from the rest IMO, that mentality doesnt always work as intended.

The Chinese are very well known to make knockoff's of western products,  especially on the hardware side of things http://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-shameless-video-game-console-knockoffs/benjamin-dunn .  Does the mount look like jar-jar ?  yes it does and i'm not really suprised.    Even with that aside the animations look very good, if i ever do play the game i probably would not use that mount.  I prefer more traditional mounts like war horses.

What makes your think that Playstations and Nintendos were "western"?

@ArcheAge (the poster) WHAT GAME IS THAT!?!!? Seriously, I don't care if it's made in Madagascar by a troupe of trained lemurs, that thing looks gorgeous!

Are you casting aspersions at the MMO making skill of the average Madagascarian Lemur? Because if you are that is just blatant racism that is. Or at least speciesism. I've lost track of how many broken hearted Madagascarian Lemurs I've seen boo hooing into their beer because their hopes of one day creating the perfect MMO have been dashed by companies that refuse to take them seriously and just won't hire them. All due to heartless speciesist bastards like yourself!!

ONLY JOKING!!

I'm not sure what Archage is going to be like once its done, but I for one am heartend to see an MMO company trying to push the envelope in such a grand way.

I kind of like the mount.  If AA wants to have some weird mounts that I dont have in 1/2 the mmos on the list here then more power to them.  Why would you want a company to have more of the same?  

Besides, its likely that you wont even have to use that mount if you dont want.

your never know it could be a type of racial mount. there will be 10 races to choose from. then again this mount could be a faction based mount. in any case im happy to see something new in the form of mounts. not just the same war horse with 20 different skins.

I don't know whether you are trolling or not but I'll bite.

First of all:

1. ITS NOT THAT DARK AND LIGHT
2. The original dark and light was NOt developed by chinese people and had good ideas but AWFUL developers
3. Chinese developer team bassically bought a license for the title and the ideas themselves and are redoing the game from ground up how it was meant to be.
4. The only ONLY things this Dark and light shares with dark and light that died are THE IDEAS THEMSELVES. its developed from ZERO completely anew and the company is adding their own ideas too.
