Patch 8.1.0 - New Mounts

[dragnipur]

Catering to the casual player base is actually a terrible long term strategy as it neither draws new players in nor fosters long term growth. WoW has been catering to the casual player base since the end of WotLK and look where we are now.

You are just wrong look what happened with WildStar and their mentality to cater to the HardCore crowd.The game is dead and servers shut down!This will happen to WiW if they don't cater to the casuals.

I love the mounts especially the storm drake.I never got one in Legion unfortunately.

Loving some of these but... where is the bee?!?!

[Alcsaar]

fyi the island expedition mounts are a pain in the ass to get. I've ran a couple hundred and no mounts, and have known folks who have done way more than me without any. You could spend 2 hours flipping burgers to buy that bat vs the ridiculous time sink to get even 1 isle mount - even more if you're targeting a SPECIFIC mount.

I want to know where you're making $12.50 an hour flipping burgers

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?

It does answer it. Your question is why does the mount that he drops look like it's made by a goblin, and I answered that question. Now for the question of why he doesn't drop his own mech as a mount. Probably a model they had ready as a mount, but no other place they wanted to put it, so they just tossed it into Mekkatorque's loot table.

Nothing you may enjoy....and god if you cant make the difference between that content patch and the selfie patch, you are clueless.

Compare the likes and dislikes rating on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SugtESal8W4 with the 8.1 version. You will see that the majority disagrees with you.

I hope you have a phone.

Man... all these amazing looking flying mounts would be great... if we could fly.

[Appelgren]

Love the saltyness that "plebs" will get the Island Thunderscale model mount

[Dead Moose Fandango]

Wait. We're finally getting a bear mount that uses the new model but WITHOUT the dumb armor? HUZZAH!

That isn't even minimum wage in progressive areas. LOL.

You took my question too literally, there.

It still doesn't make sense for Mekkatorque to drop it. Because there's no sense why Mekkatorque would have it in the first place. That'd be light fighting Garrosh back in MoP and he'd drop a horse mount named "Varian's Warhorse" with Stormwind armor on it. As a Horde player. It doesn't make sense for Mekkatorque to drop such a mount. Either make it a gnome-tech mount, or have it drop somewhere else, or let the engineering profession craft it, or put it in the Cash Shop.

[jegerlee]

Shit, the inflation in mounts is strong, it's not even funny.

[Yakshamash]

Make me buy something again Blizzard, just for mount.

Garn Blackwolf in Mudfisher Cove is wielding Ashkandi, also some demons running around Tanaan with it, and Draenei in the WoD Shattrath dungeon with Mogu weapons, just to name a few. Blizzard doesn't give anything to characters that make sense.

[barrsftw]

Lol @ the people complaining about the mounts. I bet most of them aren't subbed either and browse MMOC for hours a day. Some people are impossible to please man.

Don't compare gear models, that are likely to be given to random mobs through an algorythm, with mounts. Especially unique mounts that drop from bosses (possibly mythic-only too).

You are correct. Some companies looked at the crying tears of hardcore fans and tried to make a game to cater to them thinking that was what people wanted but in reality hardcore fans made up the minority and games like Wildstar are dead because of it. You have to cater to casual fans as well because they make up the majority of everything. It sucks for super hardcore fans as quality can suffer but that's the way it is.

[glennscrow]

Aww.. The one nightsaber color variant I wanted wasn't made available to the common folk! x'( Guessing it's as I feared; the white one with blue eyes is Tyrandes' mount or something? =/

And this is why we are probably at the lowest sub count in more than a decade

If we are at the lowest sub count it's because this game is old as fuck. It's pretty damn hard to draw new people into a 14 year old game, and veteran players drop all the time because wtf am I doing with my life still playing this old ass game. Casuals account for the masses. Neglect them and this game really will die.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Am so glad that the Horde 1000/cost mount is a bat.

Means I won't have the need to work towards it.

He as well as anyone else pretending to know that the sub count is "the lowest evah!" or "teh highest evah!" are just being morons for a sport.

We had such bright minds professing to know the REAL sub numbers even when Blizzard did report sub counts. "12 million? Lol shady practice inflation of numbers fosho coz I don't enjoy teh gaem!"...
