First look at the Wandering Ancient mount.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

Just so people stop asking where the mount is.

[Nagawithlegs]

I saw some complaining that it's reusing a rig but I don't see it. The arms are lower than the infernal (if that's the model on the right).

Even if they are, all the mounts except MAYBE the book were going to use an existing rig anyway. They aren't making a new animation rig for free.

Even the book would have used the Legion Mage mount rig.

its beautiful but the problem with big mounts is that nobody uses them, they are not practical, they just sit there in the collection, just like that hound from molten core event, its beautiful but u cant rly use it alot, small mounts are the best, the smaller the better, the rooster mount for example or the pig mount

They also feel slow - i know they are not slow, but they do tend to "feel" quite sluggish. I usually just swap between raven lord and the white chicken from like.....mgt? i think?

Feels super slow lol I know its not a different speed than lets say a horse but i always find myself swapping to a "faster feeling" mount.

Oh I am glad I am not the only one who has this feeling.

[Throwme]

I have a frog mount. I like the looks of it, but I NEVER use it, simply because the animation of it makes it feel like it's not as fast as a horse or dragon. I also have the sky golem and I only use that on my herbalists. Because it feels too big and bulky, but the ability to pick flowers while mounted makes up for it.

This tree thing?


I'll add it to the collection and be done with it. Big, bulky, will most likely feel slow, certainly impractical getting through small spaces and doorways.

[arkanon]

..which is why I just can't bring myself to play a Tauren. I know they move at the same speed as other classes...but feel sluggish.

Which is also why I usually disregard any thread that has "Am I the only one or does feature xyz "feel" shite...."

Yeah...it is feelings....and I hate how they mess with me. It is like "Oh, I saw it with my own eyes" - "yeah..look at this optical illusion" - your eyes and feelings mess with you. Your brain messes with you...

I don't mind RAIDING on a moocow, but I find leveling them completely painful.

[Unlimited Power]

They'll probably throw it in as a "freebie" (yes, I'm aware it was always going to be free) during or soon after Blizzconline. If we have to wait until 9.1 it'll be almost entirely pointless as we'll be unlocking flying by then, assuming Blizzard hasn't changed their minds about that yet.

While the book is less.. Original, I'd still rather have taken the book or even the arachnid flying mount as those at least would've seen continued use. Cool as it might be, the treant will be so unwieldy and impractical that there's almost a 0% chance I'll ever use it on any character ever.

Let's be honest, I'm using either corridor creeper or the herbalism mount pretty exclusively at the moment.

[glowpipe]

But, it mentioned flapping, and you'd ride the spine, so the book would be vertical, not horizonal. There's a good chance it'd use a moth skin.

or just the body of a legless, headless horse

I'm blaming you for imagining somebody riding around on a horse torso.

[Raetary]

Nice, can't wait to use it exactly once and then shove it to the very back of the mount journal.

Big mounts suck.

well, now i kinda do it aswell. "Reigns of the headless horsema-ount"

[deenman]

cool...but way to big...my go to mount has been urzul since it came out,it just feels and looks so compact,and no silly noises

[huth]

Reigns of the Headless Horseman's Headless Horsemanhorse
"I think we forgot something..."

[HateTrain]

I don't even remember what the other possible choices were.

[Alanar]

I don't even remember what the other possible choices were.

Some kind of flyerspider mount, which many people thought was going to be an actual spider, but sadface, flying book and a cat or something.

I think the outcome was that many people just trolled and went for the tree.

Last time I used a big mount was griefing Alliance raiders in Naxx with our mammoths on the summoning stone. Can't stand large mounts. I exclusively use my depleted kyparium rocket. Nice and compact.
