I'm a mage , the choice is obvious for me.

Wandering ancient, for sure. I can already see my druid riding it.
It's distinct but we don't have a single Ancient mount yet and riding a giant tree in a game inspired by LoTR just sounds long overdue. To each their own. I am sick of dragons too, though. I haven't taken advantage of any of the free mount 6 month promos because they've all looked dumb to me (mouse, pig, mechanical dragon.) A giant book I can see spellcasters looking good on. The tree, I can see any of my characters riding it.
In all fairness, if anyone was playing retail (where you can get the mount and not classic), they will be buying the expansion anyway. I'm pretty sure the amount of people who are playing Classic-Legion only content right now are slim (and soon to be Classic - BFA).
So don't really see an issue with it. Basically it's just saying "Play the expansion and get a free mount".
So you are saying people who playing Classic-BFA (1-50) only should get the mount? I mean really what kind of playing experience is 1-50 only during an entire expansion going to do? You can only do so much and will get bored way quicker.
Essentially anyone playing retail will eventually get the expansion at some point. It never said you had to have Shadowlands by this date. Just "Have Shadowlands and starting in Q1 2021 it will be added to collections".
Sure its not identical to :
but its close enough to be a waste. And if they do decide to make it a flyer its going to end up looking more like the blood tick/nerubian flyer. Sure they might deck it out in argent gear but at the end of the day its still going to be less impressive than the ancient or some of the other ideas.
However had it been a Nerubian spiderlord I probably would have voted for it in a heartbeat.
Yes, because you definitely need to buy in Q3 only. Nope. Can't buy any other time /s
Got to love how anytime someone does something nice it's because of some hidden motive that isn't there. Nowhere does it say it has to be bought by a certain time to redeem it.
So you lose out on a vote. You still get the mount if you buy it earlier.
I don't think any of the mounts will be flyers.
And in my eyes, the ancient would just be your typical clunky/gimmick mount that you summon once and then never use again. What you posted seems like it has the potential to be a pretty cool, compact spider/beetle tank with which to charge into battle with. (and buildings without bumping into the entrance, lol)
You know, with an up to date model, higher resolution and some armor.
There are no arts/images of the mount, how the hell I am supposed to choose?
You're completely misunderstanding. Yes, we (or at least I) know that everyone who has Shadowlands as of Q1 of next year will get the mount. I'm saying that having the poll only open to preorder customers one month before release (when the mount won't be released until some undetermined time next year), is a pretty thinly veiled attempt to pad out the preorder numbers before the end of the quarter.
Yeah, it's just a vote. It's not going to convince ME to preorder just to click a button. However, I'm sure the number who will do so is greater than zero.
I chose the Soaring Spelltome. As a mage main, my reasons consist of: I'm a magic user, because the name implies flying (even if it ends up just being a ground mount that hovers, and just the fact that a magical book mount sounds way more unique than the other options.
Whilst I agree we don't have numbers on how many people hang back and don't choose to buy and upgrade to the newest expansion every time one comes out, there certainly is a significant number of people who don't buy the expansion either prior to or on release. Usually they wait until later patches come out that fix issues and makes available a broader range content to do and of course not to mention the game usually goes on deep discount at the time. Mostly my issue is they couldn't be upfront about this being a sales promotion and instead are pretending it's some sort of good will for the year despite it explicitly being tied to the next expansion's purchase.
You mean everyone after Shadowlands releases?So you are saying people who playing Classic-BFA (1-50) only should get the mount?
??? Didn't we just spend a whole expansion with the 1-50 content on offer as current content? I guess there is a slight possibility that they might make it a retro-active reward but the fact they specified:I mean really what kind of playing experience is 1-50 only during an entire expansion going to do? You can only do so much and will get bored way quicker.
Essentially anyone playing retail will eventually get the expansion at some point. It never said you had to have Shadowlands by this date. Just "Have Shadowlands and starting in Q1 2021 it will be added to collections".
and made no mention that it will be available after that period sounds like a pretty conclusive deadline.it will be added to the Mount Collection tab in Q1 2021 for every player with Shadowlands activated on their account.
