This epic flying mount is awash in a mystical blue glow; its rocky exterior just barely manages to contain the power that lurks within! When you’re ready to take to the skies, the Hearthsteed manifests ethereal blue wings, ready to carry you off to your next adventure.

    It'll cost you the time an effort of installing, playing three games and un-installing.

    Dumbest thing I've read. Rewarding people for being lucky enough to get in to a closed beta that people were willing to pay upwards of $300 just to get in to. You aren't going to get rewarded for having the privilege to play the beta.

    While awesome, it shows typical Blizzard. Release something with multple colors, but only give us access to one of the colors. And the hearthstone symbol should have been somewhere on the mount.

    Genius marketing and advertising.

    Ugh, can't get past Illidan. No mount for me until I do, I guess.

    But I've got Jaina, and she keeps drawing all these high-mana cards.

    Tip for everyone who wants this mount if it's your first time playing: Don't play "casual", play ranked.

    Casual can literally be anyone, from a new player to a seasoned legendary veteran. Meanwhile, ranked will put you with other players who are just starting as well, and are probably only playing to get the mount. I see a lot of rae about losing tons of games in a row, and I can almost guarantee they're playing casual and not ranked.

    Eh, i'm good with it looking the way it does, not unnecessary advertisement for the other product.

    I just got on my friend's account, who had never played HS before, beat Illidan, then won 3 games in a row with a 10/20 basic card jaina deck. There are so many new people at rank 25 in ranked right now. Seriously, it is so easy right now. If you've lost over 10 games at this point with only 0 or 1 wins, it's because you're bad at CCGs, or playing "casual", which for a new player will be misleading.

    I was pretty happy they changed the appearance from the last version I saw. The tail looked so stupid before lol. What about the red one though? That was pretty awesome. Looking forward to seeing what that takes to aquire, possibly more wins. Or arena wins.

    Is the hearthstone that every characters starts with, that has that symbol on the icon, an advertisement?

    That just happened to me as well. It's bugged out somehow. People in my trade chat said the same thing.

    Yeah I checked the WoW forums. A lot of people waiting on it and a lot also saying it took awhile after they got their wins for it to show up.

    Won 3 games and didn't get the achievement, not sure what's going on.

    Played it. Loved it. Confused about how you can buy a deck, but to flip(aquire?) a card costs extra money? I had no problem winning 3/5 in casual. One of those losses was due to bad choices on my part. It gets a little bit too intimidating when you start making your own decks. My mount still hasn't been received ... so I guess I will check on it later. I'm probably going to fiddle around with it some more later unless it turns out you gotta spend rl cash to be competitive.

    God 4 hours and not even done. This is horrifying.

    just got mine! The mounts awesome. I like how the wings are not present while on the ground..this is the main issue i had with the tyrael's charger mount. As for hearthstone, the game is pretty fun. Still prefer MTG but i'm just old school like that.

    You don't have to spend cash to be competitive. Everything can be acquired in-game (except Golden Gelbin Mekkatorque, which is a reward for testing the store in BETA, and I think L90ETC is only for Blizzcon participants(?))
