Patch 5.4 PTR - Build 17636

i'm think it's likely that the horde brought chimeras. there are guards on both sides of the portal who are charged with staying there and keeping watch, i doubt they'd allow anything or anyone through unless you're there on orders or have some kind of clearance.

The Imperial Quilen wants to have a word with you.



Yet another? No, thanks.

This creature can be used for both with it having 4 legs /dog type of thing yet a chimera/drake whatever doesnt fit the bill seems as its sole purpose is to fly more than run....especially with a stupid size wing span.
If you understand what i mean....

I think that mount is incredibly ugly. The jets on the sides are really stupid as well. It's definitely one I will pass on.

I think that is exactly what's going on. At least I hope so.

Aesthetically speaking, I agree that the Iron Skyreaver on the ground is clumsy at best. I went technical because of the whining.

" Electric Boogaloo can be appended to the name of a movie to indicate a sequel. This construction is somewhat dismissive of the original work and/or the idea of making a follow-up movie. The sequel may be real, planned, or imagined.
When are they going to make Titanic 2: Electric Boogaloo?

I'm just gonna wait for it to come out on TV before I see The Fantastic Four 2: Electric Boogaloo. "


Couldn't agree more

Except that it's Eclectic Boogaloo, not Electric. Eclectic means something else entirely.

Since the majority of wow players are idiots and that they are likely to lose a ton of subscribers after WOD "patch" launches I'd say they are smart to get the money while they can now.

It would appear that your ignorance knows no bounds.

1. Not a reskin. It clearly doesn't even use the same animations as the protodrakes. Please for the love of all things holy, learn what a fucking reskin is - a reskin is when the EXACT SAME MODEL is used again and the texture (ie. colour/patterns) is changed. Eg, the red drake could be said to be a reskin of the bronze drake. So you are completely, and utterly, wrong.

2. Blizzard is clearly just having a laugh - if you can't realise that "Eclectic Boogaloo" is them joking with us and actually think they're being serious, then there truly is no hope for you. Please, for all our sakes, leave the internet and do not come back. God knows the collective IQ of the internet could do with a boost.

Care to explain how it's a protodrake reskin? It doesn't have any of it structures and the animation does not look like a protodrake. Its mostly chimera's animation. Plus the fancy engines stuff attached to it.

Most likely a reference to the movie Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo. The game is full of references to real things with the names changed slightly in one way or another.

This mount more than likely works on the ground...
To compensate the "no flying" expansion.
People are such whiners...

Seriously though, the reason why they are not including flying at launch (and waiting until a future patch to add it) is that players don't need to experience the sky. They want people to experience the ground first, and then build their way up. It makes flying much more impactful and possibly a chance for gating content in a better way.

Blizzard is also greatly improving the flight path system. Getting from A to B shouldn't be a problem.
AND if you don't like flight paths, there's enough to do on the ground to forget flying mounts.

Perhaps this is a chance for better quality zones that will attract you back to them for more than just:
Gotta get to here, so I must fly over here.
They don't want zones to be like Georgia when it was founded...a buffer.

Wheres your evidence and wheres your numbers?, I want a complete write up and analysis from at least 100k of the non elitist player base. Graphs hand drawn in MS paint don't count you smelly piece of shit troll.

You sound like a child. Very humorous! Since you are incapable of intelligent thought go ahead and google the results of cata launch and the mop launch where they lost subs in the quarter(s) afterwards. Have fun with your ban by the way!

That is a neat mount. Though I would almost prefer a one headed version.

I don't really see whats so cool about this mount

but i don't understand why there are chimaeras on draenor... and it looks exactly like the chimeras in found in the stone talon mountains and ashara, only it's a better model. did the horde bring chimeras to azeroth?

Nuramoc: NPC= 20932 Rarespawn Chimaera in Netherstorm. Maybe he's the last of his kind and they were everywhere back in the day. Either way, there is one there now, so there's nothing to say they were never there before.

See that I believe. That or the store. No way this has anything to do with WoD content or collectors edition. It looks like too much of a cash cow to limit to just CE and lets not forget we will not be able to use flying mounts in WoD till 6.1. To get this mount and not be able to use it in the new content for 4 months just doesn't sound right to me gang.

My final vote is a store mount.

So it's not like this is "exactly the same as what's been going on".

It's also worth noting that we STILL can't fly in those areas, even 5.2's, even after they are no longer 'current'. The phrasing used in the Tweet sounds like they might be changing that system.

And it is 'exactly the same as what's been going on', insofar as that every time a new zone has been patched in it's been flight-locked. Yes, you could still fly in 5.1 and 5.3, but those were old zones that were updated. I sincerely doubt Blizzard is going to release patch 6.1, allow us to get flying, and then instantly disallow it in Draenor outside of whatever new zone they may implement in that patch. Even if they don't patch in a new zone in 6.1, I still doubt they'll then re-deny flying in Draenor as a whole in 6.2 if they add a new zone in THAT patch.

It'll most likely be the same way each tier was 'nerfed' in Pandaria after the new tier came out. Old content is made flyable in most cases, while new content is still 'difficult' (no flying).

You're telling me after 5.1 came out you never went anywhere in Pandaria proper? :/ Not on your main, not on alts?

You just sound like a troll to me, I will stop feeding you though since you did not answer my question.
