Orbitron Classic WildStar: A Disappointing Mount with Flaws

The recent release of the Orbitron Classic mount has left many players feeling underwhelmed. The art and animation team's lack of resources to create new content has resulted in a subpar rendition of this classic mount. It appears that they are intentionally denying consumer outrage, claiming that it wasn't popular enough.

The prices of the F2P model have been set by individuals who seem utterly clueless about what players want. They have chosen the least detailed and popular mount to gauge interest in account-bound mounts. A cool idea for a mount, regardless, but executed poorly.

Upon closer inspection, it's clear that little effort was put into the details of this mount. Unlike previous releases like Strain-Snarf/Ghastly Warpig, which showed attention to detail, Orbitron Classic lacks depth and dimension. The snowflakes on its hull are simply flat paper particles with no festive touches, such as trees or a snowman.

The only unique animation is the addition of snowflakes to the hull, but even that feels lacking. Recolored hull and frame, with 'Frost' hastily drawn onto the skin instead of being added on top of it. It's hard not to notice how steep this mount's design is, considering its similarity to the default Orbitron.

In comparison, the single-claim version of the mount costs $20, a 75% increase in price for an account-bound mount. This raises questions about the value players are getting from their purchases.

Despite my disappointment with the Orbitron Classic, I'll likely end up grabbing one anyway to show support for the artists who have done better work in the past. It's clear that this mount could have been so much more with a little extra effort and attention to detail.
