I was tooling around in Diessa Plateau last night, when I remembered something that’s been niggling away at my subconscious since beta.
Where have all the snakes gone?
For those not in the know, one of the ambient creatures wandering the wilds in beta was the humble snake.
To be honest, I was looking forward to fighting giant ones; it would have added a nice Hyborian feel to proceedings
My assumption is that they were removed due to clipping and animation problems on death.
Are we ever likely to see snakes in game again?
They added a lot of flavour to the game.
Tasted like chicken :P

All living snakes have been exterminated by rangers that used to put dozens of them in their traps. Now they have to resort to silly plastic snakes.

Thanks Wolfheart, that gave me a giggle. I immediately pictured plastic snakes with “Made in Tyria” on their bellies, much like the plastic spiders from Halloween

Ehehe, glad to help! But seriously I’d like snakes to be back so I could do the ambient killer daily without feeling guilty :p

snakes were glitched so bad during beta that it was just expedient to replace them with other animals, like moas for example, until the issue could be resolved.
i imagine its so low on the priority list at this point that they may never return.
