Guild Chat Issues
The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch is Now Live
Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?
You are not in a Raid group / You are not in a party
MMO-Champion
Hardened Shell
Item not yet on beta afaik, which means it's anyone's guess if it'll make it to live by the time MoP drops. I'm guessing they'll be too chicken to have it go live and potentially cause a huge PVE player outcry.
15-min cooldown is a big disappointment for me. If it was 3-5 minutes I'd be interested in coming back to the game. Meh. I guess this whole "world" and "Alliance v. Horde" thing really isn't that much of a priority. Instances are more amenable to business as usual and less prone to player complaints.

I'm sure all you want to do is grief people, glad your staying away if that's the case.

They should make the cooldown like 1-2 minutes and make players that it is used on have a (debuff) for 10-15 minutes (that prevents the item from being used on them). That way you can still dismount players and fight fairly often, while also not being able to kill the same person over and over again.

All this item will be used for is griefing.
Nothing better then having a random guy fly up to you and dismounting you while he slowfalls down...

It has a cast time so you can't do that, and btw that item is in beta and has been for a month..

I couldn't keep reading after you claimed the cooldown of a single item was the reason you decided not to come back. I knew then you could not be serious.

15minute cooldown really isn't that much of an issue to me. I usually PvP with 2 other friends and on occassion there are even be 5 of us... so 3minute cooldown each added in with the time it'll probably take to find people in a huge world and the fighting to me it all balances out.

Screw this item and everything connected to it, there's no other use for it but griefing players...
If you want to PvP then dismount someone the old fashion way.

"The old fashion way"? Meaning hitting them several times with spells and hoping they get dismounted before they fly away at 280% speed? Originally Posted by reve

They're putting a blue shell in the game and some people don't want it? Probably still butt hurt from all of those lost matches in Mario Kart as a result of the blue shell...

Druids are going to have a whale of a time with this if they can get out of combat and into Flight Form before they hit the floor

"above level 94" YAY wont be ganked more from 60-85.
I do believe they need a counter item for this however

Better make no CD on it, but place a debuff on user, so he can't use this item again until he dies or 15 minutes expires (and if he dies with this debuff, it will morph into another one, something shamefull) Originally Posted by Eliot123

You won't be able to kill anyone in most cases as this item has 0.5 sec cast so you need to stand still while using it.

I'm sure all you want to do is force your PVE playstyle on the PVP-loving people on PVP realms. I'm sure you're just a really bad player who can't handle anything that's not scripted and pre-determined and easily available to research online or in-game where you can figure out exactly what will happen when and have a multitude of different addons available to tell you exactly when to move where and get out of the fire.

Or how about we just accept that different people want different things out of the game. I want a world full of danger and adventure. You want instances and little to no danger out in the world. We can all get along, as long as we're on different server rulesets.

I agree on the above, put debuff on the player it was used on so it can't happen again.
I'm not sure what people are complaining about honestly, who even flies low enough for this to be used? Even more-so, who even flies nowadays anyway? You all just sit in some city and wait for your queue to pop or your raid leader to summon you.
Oh, dailies, that doesn't really matter anyway as you currently get dominated when you're doing your daily rounds anyway, no flying turtle shell is going to change anything here.
