Patch 8.1.0 - New Mounts

but you're close! keep trying and trolling

When will the horde get access to more Alliance mounts? We got a chance at two horses. This time it’s not even an original sabre mount model. Yet Alliance get access to another kodo and a skeletal horse from islands as well as the prior two raptors, hyena and blood leech.

So season 2 pvp mounts are recolours or some vicious saddle mounts. Well at least they are not as horrible as season 1 mounts, but why can't we just get saddles back?..

you can have all my bloody horses. im bored to death of them

So patch 8.1 has basically nothing. It's the WoD selfie-camera patch 2.0.

6.1 had a raid?

Did they change the model for the Hivemind??!! I was so hiped when I saw that it used the old god spectral brain model. This one is a let down. They just went for a recolor of Legion mount. Not worth it imo.

Go hide under a rock. Some people actually enjoy having access to more than just one color of a mount. Especially since the vast majority of the models coming this patch are either new or previously had few options to choose from. It's not like they're the the boars from WoD.

I swear, some people complain just for the sake of complaining.

what the fuck are you on about, this patch has two new raids

When do Vanilla Racial Mounts get updated models?

Sooo... why does the mount that drops from High Tinker Mekkatorque looks just like a goblin made it? Worse: it has Gallywix's face on the shield.

you know you will farm it because it will be probably another funny riddle after riddle type questing

The raids aren't coming on the 11th so no it doesn't.

werent there new timewalking mounts datamined weeks ago for the wod timewalking?

Frog looks nice. Other stuff is meh.

So, that's what this game is all about: mounts (just for the lolilol pointless collection)

Reading flavor text helps.

""Garishly sporting extreme amounts of goblin flair, Gallywix commissioned his Mech of Death to one up Mekkatorque in combat and more importantly in style.""

It's Gallywix's mech, not Mekkatorque's.

It's Gallywix's mech, not Mekkatorque's.

Still doesn't answer the question why it drops from Mekkatorque. If it's a mech mount that drops from Mekkatorque, who belongs to the race that are direct competitors with the goblins in terms of technology (to the point they are considered different "schools"), why isn't it Mekkatorque's mech instead of a Gallywix's?

Sarcasm aside, they really have gone mount-crazy lately. It just sets the direction that the game is going when you see them spam us with mounts like never before. Yay for carrots that people feel inclined to grind!

On the contrary I think casual players are less likely to be the ones buying stuff in the store and investing extra in a game that they only occasionally play. Also, you underestimate the fact that even casual players will lose interest if they're not enjoying the gameplay. Casual doesn't mean you accept everything without question.

People always say casual players are the bulk of wow's playerbase, but in my experience the bulk of players are a step above casual... perhaps semi-casual or mediumcore, with an interest in progressing beyond mundane/trivial content, but not necessarily an interest in high M+ or mythic raiding. Your average joe player. Has a moderate item level of around 360-365, a few alts, killed some early heroic raid bosses, possibly cleared normal depending on the guild they're in, done some lower M+ keys. This category of player arguably outnumbers your super duper casual who is nervous about touching even a base mythic and hasn't stepped beyond LFR.

Guess you underestimate the casual players, those are the players that have money and dont hestitate buying things from the store and game services. For casuals beying scared of mythic, thing is there is alot of players that hold no interest in beying stuck in raid for 3-4 hours. We value our time more than that, but sure if i had no life and no friends i guess i would be raining like the rest... I Just dont see any value in raining. I have been casually playing wow for 10 year. Little as no raining, but still i spend alot more money in this game than you do and thats most likely because i have a job,, play few hours a week, i boost all my chars and pay $60 each time, buy tokens, buy items off ah and buy more tokens, if i need 1m gold i Just buy tokens so yes blizzard is getting Cash from casual players, Hardcore players farm everything and most likely never buy tokens or services With Cash... And dont tell me that Just players buy tokens, im sure blizzard is buying them off ah also, all tokens i have sold always sell at the same time during the everytime i sold one. I think in past 2 months i spend 300 euros on wow and everyone im playing With are casuals that also are buying boosts and tokens and only play few hours a week, biggest income blizzard has is services and ingame store, they lean on casuals that have money and pay subscription all year around even they dont play.
