Well, all of my assumptions going into this were true.
Horrible OTT American "dramatic" editing. Awful design already; tank treads for Alliance - what even? Fuck Chris Metzen and his Alliance cardigan and faux fanaticism. Sam Didier is exactly how I imagine most hardcore Horde crazies; a cringy manchild who says retarded shit like "I have a quest for you" complete with Orc voices mid-conversation. Paul's wife snorting with laughter was exactly my reaction to Sam.
At least it was only a few minutes of my life wasted on this guff after skipping the 5-minute intro.
azeroth choppers is a stupid idea and a waste of money and resources. we have to wait almost a year for any content while they make motor bikes? where is our expansion!!!
how is the ally one sposed to drive on a road? its a snowmobile knock off, and they dont handle tarmac well : / least the horde one has a wheel on the front, but still not much better.
Redneck? Paul, JR. lives in California that is a TV show about California motorcycles. I'm somewhat of a redneck born in Texas, live in Louisiana but I do not have a red neck because I'm not trash. I hardly know any real rednecks that watch his show. My father does only because he is a car/cycle guy.
It's like calling MTV a hillbilly channel.
While I agree with your general premise that there's nothing particularly redneck about this, being Californian has nothing to do with that. There's plenty of Californian rednecks when you get away from the coasts.
how have people not guessed the 'bad news' yet? it seems pretty obvious they need a removable or transformable side car so it will be a multi-person mount like the current wow choppers.
Sam could have a lucrative career in reality television, his people should call the Duck Dynasty crew and see if they have a position available.

Metzen has been trying hard for the last couple of years so maybe we can start giving him a break. And yeah Blizzard needs better script writers because it was obvious how forced Didier's line came across.
I wonder if it really matters which one wins, because couldnt they just give horde members the horde bikes, the alliance the alliance bike, say you got a horde character Bamb Horde bike, then you hop on your alliance bike, on the same account, and you hop on your alliance bike, i kinda see them doing this
The tank-trike style looks good for Horde, but the Alliance bike needs wheels. Tank-treads just don't look right there.
I tend to agree. Don't like the tank-tread ally bike, but think it could look really good for the horde. For some of you haters out there, be patient for the end design. this is just the skeleton. For the other haters, you'll be fine. You'll hate whatever they do here until you grow bored of it, then you'll find something new to hate.
I think they got World of Warcraft mixed up with World of Tanks before the meeting... They look good, just seem kinda odd, and not in the cool steampunk-y way.
This was a bad idea on so many levels, from the design of the bikes; to the production format. I commend Blizzard for trying to reach out to us, but damn... not like this.
That said I'm not sure how I feel about the current design, they just don't feel like Choppers with the treads but who knows. They may just end up being display pieces so functionality won't matter in the end.
Am I the only one excited? To be honest I'm glad they are not doing another tier. Gives me a break from too much WoW and focus on real life issues. I bet since this is really only a personal opinion most people would definitely disagree with me.

I really don't see how this is taking from WoD at all. They filmed probably 30 min with these guys and the money to film this thing I'm guessing is going to come from when the chopper goes on sail in the blizzard market. I really feel like they wanted to do this, because they wanted to give something to the fans.
