Patch 4.3 Spectral Gryphon and Wyvern Mounts
It looks like we even have a saturday news post this week, hurray! Along with the legendary dagger screenshot released yesterday, it seems that the official korean website released 2 extra screenshots of new spectral flying mounts.

There's no information on where players will be able to get them but it wouldn't be surprising to see them as rewards of the new Darkmoon Faire or any of the new features introduced with Patch 4.3. Thanks to annoyingmoose for his forum post about these mounts.





Well of Eternity - Updated Preview
The Patch 4.3 Dungeons Preview, Part Two: Well of Eternity has been updated with five new screenshots.

    My first thoughts as well. Seeing as the only mounts they ever tease are from the store, a la TRH and Disco Lion

    Totally awesome resume of WoW's history. I do include also Milhouse Manastorm.

    All the evil problems lol? Horde fanboi should check his facts at the very most basic level. How exactly are the draenei involved in any of this? And how are the blood elves, orcs, goblins and forsaken suddenly innocent to much worse stuff? If you blame the nelves for Azhara's deeds, surely the orcs are to blame for all that was done under the fel corruption and the belves for Kael'thas summoning KJ and more.

    That is by far the most badass Satyr I've seen in WoW to this date.

    On that note every mount, model, whole game universe in SW:tor is "rehashed" from the old Star wars MMO/ movies.

    You see how it gets a bit dumb when you use the word for everything?
    You're making a ton of (false) implications in addition to the fact that actually, yeah, most sports games are technically rehashed. Problem?

    You can Spectral all you want Blizz, but Spectral Kitty is Spectralisious and will always be the Spectral of all Spectrals.

    A spectral pigeon... A little twist would have been nice imo.

    if you want to see how a mount SHOULD be animated.. just look at ALLODS mounts.. not saying they should all cost 10 bucks and require feed.. but gimme a ****ing break with this lazy ass attempt at a mount. can NOONE see that blizzard NEEDS to up their game on how the models look? And I'm talking about the ENTIRE model.. not just the freaking texture maps.. more polygons... more everything.. there is no !*#$ing way they CAN'T do it. its plain to see they can make a pretty game.. look at the graphics for diablo 3.. and to all the whiners about system specs.. get your asses OUT of the 80's and buy a new PC.. or.. if you cant do that UPGRADE the one you have.. stop playing wow for a few months.. work some extra hours ( like i did) and get a capable PC ( or mac if you're into that sort of thing). Jesus wept.. its 2011 for christ's sake. get on the technology wagon and stop living on uncle jethro's farm in the middle of nowhere. AHHHH!.. those of us who DO have a capable PC ( and there a !*#$ing lot of us) are sick and !*#$ing tired of being held back by you wastes of DNA.and for the record.. yes.. the Night elf model does look better.. made moreso by the crappy current models in the background holding the platter, with the same crappy hairstyles.

    I second that, exactly what I thought when I first saw them. Makes a bit of sense: as a prize for amassing a giant load of mounts you get a spectral version of the most basic (flying) mount of your faction.

    Judged from another Spectral Wyvern pic I saw somewhere else, it's pretty decent, but still seems so transparent that the character just floats in the air.

    sorry to say but these mounts are a sign of lazy devs. they take a model of the gryphon and wyvern they already have. they take the texture they use for every other spectral mount they have and they slap em together and call them new. as someone who majored in computer animation I can tell you it literally takes 2 minutes to put textures like this on a model and most of that time is spent waiting for the files to load. very lack luster

    No one except for mount collectors (not even all of them) would buy that ugly Wyvern.
