New Mount Preview - Is That a Saddle, Gear Changes in Patch 5.4.8

[Maxilian]

WTF is that thing?

Yeah... but my reaction was more like these:

WTF is that thing?!.... I WANT ONE!

[SilkDath]

there you go casuals, the nerfs you needed to beat old content

[Maxilian]

Blizzard only ever preview promotion or store mounts.

It's not hard to guess which this is...

Store mount, that's easy to guess

Pffffff qiraji mount 2.0

[Thallidomaniac]

Also, not locked to one faction. If it's Horde-only, I'll 10/10 crie.

But if it's both factions, then the millions of Horde players will cry. And Metzen doesn't want to see that happen.

And PvPers once again get screwed in World PvP.

[Kaprin]

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, it's the first mount in a long time (excluding a very few like Emerald Hippogryph and Ultramarine Qiraji Battle Tank, a vanilla model) that I really want to get.

Who am I kidding though, I'll probably end up getting it anyway. >.> I really like the Qiraji Battle Tanks but something about this one isn't my favorite.

[Darknessvamp]

So long as it won't be a raid meta mount, I'm with you.

Well insofar has been in this expansion they've been restricting certain rep + gold mounts colour schemes to either faction so hopefully if they do go in that direction with this mount that the Alliance get an Aquamarine or similarly coloured version. Here's hoping it's a pre-expansion event reward or *sigh* a reputation grind reward in WoD at the very least.

On a separate note, concerning the new valour source, just increase the weekly valour cap to 1500 Blizz. People can cap valour fast enough through LFD and LFR if needed. Plus there's been no mention of reducing the valour gating on the cape so it still takes 3 weeks of required sitting around after capping before going though to the next RNG fest stage to get the legendary everyone has.

Armor sprinkles anyone?

HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA exactly.

[hulkgor]

Everyone ready to drop 20€\$ on that mount?

And yet another indirect Siege of Orgrimmar nerf (8 more ilvls across the board, woohoo!). Cool stuff. (not really)

[Darknessvamp]

Also apparently they now will also be buffing the Heirloom weapons with +8 ilvl so there's that then.

[Azahel]

Waaaaaait a second, that's no Qiraji... That's a RAVAGER

[Ayla]

Based upon the caption, im guessing its the 250 mount achieve

[Dracbane]

Well at least the new store mounts are explicitly ground mounts. It'd be ballsy of Blizz to keep selling new flying mounts while removing flying.

Where have they ever said they are removing it....just like EVERY other xpax before they are DELAYING it for a few patches.

ok... I don't give a crap about flying personally.. but spreading misinformation like that is just wrong. Flying was never delayed by a few patches. It was usually available once you hit level cap or once you could buy a specific item (like in Wrath).

First I thought "did I really need to see that right before bed-time? dafug!" and then I thought "it IS awesome tho".

[Kelthos]

I'm pretty sure that mount is a re-vamped Ravager with a skull on its head like a helmet/hat.

[MakeMeLaugh]

Oh look, another store mount.

[acf]

Shut up and take my money!

[Gra_la]

it looks like a feral quiraji battle tank. I must have it.

I don't think you know what feral means...
