Blue Posts

Shard of Exodar Nerf
While we do think the Shard of the Exodar is slightly overperforming, we've been discussing the 7.2 redesign and aren't happy with it, particularly in regards to some usability issues that the change created. We're going to revert the change from Patch 7.2 in an upcoming PTR build, and look into other potential tuning options for the future. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Am i the only one who think the mage mounts are boring as f...?
I mean, it's a disc. It's got next to no animation, and when you stand on it you seem to be frozen from the waist down.

[Ceecee]

jesus christ why always these forrest gump helmets on (tiger) mounts just remove that crap blizzard, wtf

[envenger]

The effects look good on the Mage mounts.

Its bearable now actually.

Why do people expect mages to have a crazy grand mount ?
I remember wanteing disc like the ones In that Raid. Now Mages get that .

[Sanguinerd]

Could've just made the monk mount a ground mount only but no.. it has to have "flying".. it was nice with the headless horseman mount BUT NOW ITS GETTING OLD AND ANNOYING... Just make zen flight faster and usable everywhere(if flying unlocked) and leave it as just a ground mount.

And what the hell is up with that shit bucket of a helmet ruining most of the look.. why is it everytime they make something remotely cool they have to ruin it?!

[Deleted]

Omg the monk mount talks? That's so cute...I love it lol.

Still better than the mage mount imo, everyone else at least gets something alive, it's a cool design and I like the spec differences but it's not my favourite. I just like having something animal to ride on :P

[Crypticall]

jesus christ why always these forrest gump helmets on (tiger) mounts just remove that crap blizzard, wtf

thats what i thought... like who wants to habe a tiger without a helmet, wtf is this...could ve been a cooler mount

[Pucek]

I get that the picked up tiger as monk class mount, but they didn't even bother with recolors? Virtually every other class has 3 variants, but no, monk's mount would be too much work, it would require at least a raid wing...

[kornek21]

hahaha the monk class hall mount looks awesome :P, and mage disc looks damn good now..for all of you who are bitching..why dont you send in ideas or make CONSTRUCTIVE arguements to blizzard about it instead of being so damn vulgar and..well..childish..in your comments.

[Syfus]

Cool improvement on mage mount.... and finally contents and not ghostcrawler's ego stuffs

[Deleted]

A mount talking to me all the time the last thing I want, especially with those cheesy voice lines (even has the same voice as any pandaren in the game) that are trying a little too hard at being funny. Also disappointed it only comes in 1 color and I hope they will still add more. It is my favorite class mount and I'd hate to see it get ruined by these kind things that don't really add anything to the mount.

[Korru]

"Good luck Grandmaster!"

*parks the tiger in his garage full of unused mounts*

[Not A Cat]

Still not a huge fan of the mage mount, but the effects really add a nice touch I suppose.

I like the monk mount but I'm getting sick of the flying ground animals. I hope they give it wings or something because it looks incredibly uncanny. I strongly dislike the Grove Warden mount for the same reason. Like someone else said I would much rather they keep this a ground mount and just make Zen Flight not slow as ass.

[cwowtbang]

That fortune cookie mount is gonna be annoying. Can only the rider hear it or are we going to have to hear it when we are near them?

[TheRevenantHero]

So mages continue to get the most brokenly overpowered legendary in the game? Cool.

I mean, it's a disc. It's got next to no animation, and when you stand on it you seem to be frozen from the waist down.

At least you get a different color variation for each spec. The Monk class mount is the same for all 3 specs. Kinda sh!tty if you ask me.

[Nexsa]

Wow, that audio is annoying, Grandmaster.

[Tupolew519]

That sound by my count sounds cool.

[Skipboh]

The crest on the monk mount is goddamn awful. Fuck it's ugly... The tiger mount from the shadow pan rep had the right helmet design, why try to add more shit. Should've put particle effects instead of the shit crest on the head. Man that's terrible....
