People claiming Bunny is still useful forget that Skyscale alone might be ok but Skyscale + dodge x2 + bond of vigor takes it to a whole new level of mobility that Bunny can in no way keep up. I also strongly agree with OP that additions to current mounts would be preferable to make em more attractive Arenanet might have statistic for mount use ( preferable statistic on mount use of people who have unlocked skyscale ) and use that to see which mount(s) need some help.

I always get this feeling when a game has mtx, the feeling of reward is not really there cause lots of items that should be the awesome reward from playing the games content and overcoming its challenges gets moved into the mtx store or rng boxes which means you could just buy the items or boxes until you get the reward you wanted which makes it rather pointless cause why are we even playing then if the challenges and the rewards that should go together is just paying until you get it and yet no matter how much you would actually pay in the mtx shop the product you have will never be a full product.

After playing around i knew pretty much exactly what that video would sadly show and it just sux it comes out as an extended cooldown on barrage and big old while also locking us out of any utility we might have on belt. Even if i wanted to save big old for cc or to avoid knocking stuff back i actually now cant do that without loosing to much dps in which case why bother with holo at all. What if you used med kit and overheat you now cant use the self heal on yourself as its the F1 skill all while taking damage from overheat. Use AED for CC ? well to bad if you are in overheat.

It flies more like a helicopter than a plane but is a dragon that tries to fly like a helicopter while looking like plane.

For the amount it required to get i can't help but feel disappointed in it and feels mostly like a way to just hover in the air. Both Griffon and Beetle feels great cause of how each of em can gain speed in a unique way how Griffon requires you to dive and beetle works with the physics of going up or down and boost at the right times to reach max speed faster and such it is really great. Skyscale Masteries Air rescue : Seems they want it to be standard air mount i wish it was shared for all mounts so i could land on ground with any mount i wanted after a drop. ( Overall i am not a big fan of Air Rescue or Glider for that matter as it removes any sense of danger when falling. ) Rift Repair : Mount is slow so you either accept it an chill through the course or dash through it, the reward is 1 map currency for completion? i got 1 from DragonFall map on completion. Wall Launch : First time i heard Wall Launch i thought it would launch us outwards to give it some speed as it made more sense to me being a dragon needing speed but i guess they did not want it to get into griffon territory. Considering the QOL they did to beetle i am sure they will tweak this to become much more fun and they are amazing when it comes to consideration to not remove other mounts but it seems we have to many mounts then maybe, i sometimes wonder if jackal had been a raptor skin and sand portal was shared with all mounts it would have made more sense.

If it is time gated you are not playing you are waiting.

Feel i we got hyped up to play with new mount on new map, i sorta just expected new map to be designed around the new mount so it would be part of the "RELEASE" but after seeing it time gated i pretty much feel all i can do is finish todays collection -> log out wait for next -> finish that -> log out and when i finally get mount i can finally play around on the map with it. I actually enjoyed doing Griffon as i was in full control over how i did it and what stuff i could work on ( being poor at the time made working on money an objective ) but i as player was always in full control over how i did it but a time gate is the opposite i have no control over it other than just wait. Does it even accumulate so a player who join late say first starts on day 3 can do collection 1 + 2 + 3 or are they cursed and have to do 1 then wait for reset then 2 etc cause that alone would severely punish people doing em together as even if you wanted to help someone catch up to the step you are on is no longer an option. I enjoyed helping people doing griffon stuff but because of the time gate on this i see no reason to even bother. Also people who say players are gonna play the map more, then no it would be the same amount of time you would just instead of doing whatever amount you could in x time you have available it would be do as much as you can pr reset log out when collection is done and wait, to make it even worse if you did 99% just as reset hit and then did last 1% after you now have to wait almost 24 hours to do more progress regardless of how much time you currently have to continue if it was possible, does that not encourage people to literally not play the game or explain to me the enjoyment part of that?

Did it on Engi (Holosmith) using trait to make holo leap give superspeed + either the vent or heat increase trait rest can be pretty much up to what you like though pref some sort of burst dmg.
