The Hivemind Mount - Placeholder, Patch 8.0.1 Hotfixes - August 23, 2018

The Hivemind Mount - Placeholder
It turns out that The Hivemind was a placeholder, and didn't make it into the final game.

The Hivemind mount was actually a placeholder during beta It's since been removed from data. The secret hunt is, however, far from over. Good luck!

To clarify, that idea was super cool, but didn't make it into the shipping product. It might be seen again in the future.

Incoming people threatening to cancel their sub.....

[DesoPL]

Blizz pls.

[Lora]

Am so sad it's not in game.

[Daedius]

We got a satanic goat out of it, wasn't a complete loss!

Or as I call him.

BAEEEEEEEEL.

[Myranda01]

Got me hyped up by clicking on the link and then the letdown... feelsbadman.

[Treng]

Aw man. I spent so much gold on the Wolfpelt Greatcloak for that tanking stamina.

Gonna be something else soon anyway, we're on step 20 of the next secret round now.

[thilicen]

I take it this is the part where people start yelling broken promises and cut content because they once saw a picture of a datamined beta item?

Is there anywhere to follow this progress as it happens?

are you just looking for threads where people are upset with blizzards decisions? seriously do you even play the game? i see you on the forums mocking everyone that dares say something bad about the game. get out of that basement now and then and stop being an ass instead of drinking all those "salty fan tears" . uh so pathetic

[Azahel]

The Fort Daelin Inn now grants rest.

And here I thought it didn't because the place is a freaking deposit.

Oh watch out boys. He called me an ass.

Nah but usually you get the one or two people in here who get salty over this kind of thing and it's quite the amusing read. And yes if you get "salty" over the development process changing in a game with something so small such as a mount then you are quite frankly silly imo.

And nah as of late it's been mostly getting amused by the endless whining. The people who when debated have to retort to "white knight" because a mature discussion is above them. Simple as that. I'm always up for discussion. I've happily stated my gripes with this expansion.

As I said I will happily discuss the game with anyone. Good and bad. I just won't discuss with someone who uses "white knight" as a retort when debated. Nor would I with the actual white knights who think the game is the greatest thing since sliced bread. There's no winning with either side unless you share their one sided opinion.

Note how I said both. White Knights are just as bad as endless whiners who provide no constructive feedback and spam "ded game" among other crap. I've dealt with both sides in other games besides WoW on this forum.

Oh trust me mate. Someone will be up in arms eventually acting like they promised this mount.

[Xardon]

Well, hopefully they put it in the game someday soon.
Looked cool.

[IIamaKing]

Mount looks stupid anyway.

[Psynei]

"it might been seen again in the future"...once we figure out how much to charge for it in the store.

[yetgdhfgh]

That mount looked so fucking cool as well

BOOOOOUURRRNS BLIZZ!!

Though blizz could be throwing us off the scent maybe there is a clue to what was just said?? or maybe iam just reading too much into this

[Jasper Kazai]

Wasn't that mount just the model of Yogg-Saron's brain from his fight? Not very surprising it didn't end up being the real deal in retrospect.
