Legs spread on mounts

I feel so helpless, desperate. I know my single voice is not going to be heard. But why WHY why have you changed this?! Please, Blizzard, bring it back. Now all of my draenei girls have their legs clipped inside a mount again! Who asked you for that? Keep legs spread on mounts the way it was in 9.0… I LOVED IT.

Interesting, didn’t even notice it at first. I’ve read a lot more complaints about this topic which wanted the spreading to be fixed; looks like they did it partially. Kyrian Phalinx mounts don’t look so silly anymore, but for example the Froostbrood Vanquisher still has the spread (and it still looks bad). Seems it was only reverted for some of the mounts. Now you just need to search for the “spread” mounts, as I had to abandon them before. :wink:

It looked awful to have characters legs spread so overly wide.

Clipping is obviously not ideal either.

But I liked it! I liked it so much, I intentionally sent several alts to Bastion just to be able to ride Kyrian Phalinx (whatever it is called in Eng). Do you know how much it sucks to lose somtheing that had already been given? There’s no way I am the only one… For some people it might be “overly” wide, but for me it was just right.

Now, I feel robbed. All my work on those chars in Bastion feels wasted. Not entirely of course, but this freaking bitter aftertaste in my mouth… To lose something that was given. It sucks…

U know what, I actually hoped that the mount from BFA, what’s it called in ENg, lunapard of Priestess (the one u get for campaigne badges), were like that. But nope… Phalinx was perfect… and I lost it. And it looks like Im the only one who is desperate cos of the loss… helpless and desperate. Sometimes this game breaks your heart on the very tiny things.

I can tell based on your transmog :wink:

Yea well, sometimes they tend to fix things that were not entirely broken just to make it even worse - no clue why. My Tauren doesn’t seem to be affected that much by the clipping tho, just the hoof going straight into the Phalynx’ thigh, ouch.

You know what, I so much didnt want to talk about it on forums, cos being here it’s like everyone complains all the time. At the same time, like I said, I feel robbed, desperate and sad. God dammit(

It’s not too bad once you get used to it. It certainly beats having your legs clip into the mount in my opinion.

Isn’t their complaint the opposite though, that the clipping is what is happening and we no longer have an unnaturally wide leg sitting position.

My apologies. I misread.

I’m surprised they changed this. They should really focus on changing the shoulder positioning of orc and worgen males which are currently awful.

It’s partly the nature of the forums, some tend to come here especially when they have issues or want to talk about things that they like to see changed. Don’t worry about that.

And that I understand. It surely didn’t bother me before, so to me it’s a solution to a non-existing issue :stuck_out_tongue: But hey, sometimes it’s ok to just share your frustration regardless of its usefulness.

whoever asked for this because clipping issues is utter moron.
this game is filled with clipping issues and people got used to it. Using argument “we changed it because there was clipping” is unconvincing.

As a bonus spit in our face is that the new smoke animation when mounted/unmounted.

whoever changed that mount sitting animation deserves to step on lego.

Okay the complaint is that the wide leg sitting position is gone.

Not that we have it now.

My bad that I did not do a screenshot each patch.

The issue is still here (correct me if I’m wrong) but is less prevalent.

Almost like they did something in between the BFA (close legs) and SL (V taper)

Do we have a before & after picture?

We no longer sit in that V shape. That is what the OP is complaining about.

Many complained about the un natural sitting position. The OP is one of the people that did like the change.

Is my English so much misleading or is it just so unusual to be one who liked wide spreading?

I think some of them misunderstand and then they all latch on to the same idea :laughing:

I am wondering if this was a recent change for Draenei because I seem to remember this being fixed a long time ago for Belf. I appreciate it’s not a fix you wanted.
