Luminous Starseeker (Colour Changing Mounts)

Community General Discussion

I think that for a store mount that changes colours like the Luminous Starseeker, we should get an option which will allow us to select which colour we want on the mount (being able to select a single colour and not the colours of the mount shift randomly) and also have an option to keep the random colour shift if we want to.
I think this should be an option for every colour changing mount.

That’s the only thing preventing me from buying it. I was excited to see it turn shadowy and thought it would go so well with my shadow priest, then boom: it goes light, sigh…

It might be interesting to add an option like this to game, mount barber :laughing::scissors:

I suggested something similar a few days ago but said it would infringe on Blizzards recolouring fetish.

Yes it was your idea :slight_smile:

I agree though I don’t think it’s likely.

i think i remember seeing an interview/explanation once long ago about why blizzard doesn’t have a dye system in the game in the same way other games like GW2 do, and why having a dye system on mounts wouldn’t work.

this is because (iirc) the colors are actually “painted” direct onto the item before it is “finished”, rather than the item being “a blank slate” and then colors being baked onto it afterwards.

so you would never be able to use a dye style system in the game currently cause you will have issues sort of like why some enchant effects dont/cant override the natural graphic of some (mostly) newer weapons.

that and how else are they meant to pawn off the same horse mount 50 times as reskins?

I like my fey dragon changing colors, otherwise it would just feel like some just another random lazily recolored dragon mount if you just get the option for all colors

Well you are geting sort or mount “barber” in mechagon …

You would be able to select a static colour and if you want you will be able to select the random option that changes colours as it is now, that was my point.
