Should be out around... well what do you know... March/April.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
It falls under false advertisement.
Never had the motivation to play a dum troll or fat human anyway.
It was nothing like how a month before 4.3 hit they introduced the annual pass which came with it MoP beta access and "free" Diablo 3. The only reason why Blizzard would ever invest in these products is to boost subscription retention, and it makes the most sense to do this during a weak period. They likely would of done it with WoD if they were better prepared for how terrible that expansion was going to be.
Blizzard regularly times content releases with the releases of other expansions. Literally every single Final Fantasy XIV expansion has coincided with a major WoW content patch (The expansions are always announced well ahead of patches, of course). I imagine that Blizzard is watching for an 'ideal' time to launch the Kul Tiras/Zandalari patch since a lot of people are eagerly awaiting it. Fortunately I don't think we'll be waiting until Shadowbringers.
Were I to guess, I'd assume it will release the same day the second part of patch 4.5 launches for FFXIV. It's a stretch, but I could see Blizzard doing it anyways. I imagine a later major patch and/or new allies races will coincide with Shadowbringers itself. Perhaps the final major content patch of BFA?

That wasn't that bad of a deal to be fair. It was transparent why they did it and why they timed it as such, but the deal wasn't horrible in that case. I didn't personally invest in it, but it would have saved me money had I done so (ironically?).

no it doesent... literally it does not, do you mind showing me where they fasly advertised?
Explain to me what all these store mounts really cost blizz? A couple of hours to a dev to draw it up? And a couple more to make it work? In return they get 6 months of sub time from alot of people who are unhappy and a good portion of them probably arent even playing because they dislike bfa...
To say that that model takes "a couple of hours for a dev to draw" just proves how little you know about 3d model making.
if those people who didnt want to play bought the time for the mount, they were fucking idiots, as blizzards post itself said "this is for free for people who buy or are on a 6 month plan. but sometime next year it will be added to store for those who miss it"
so if they arnt gunna play, and they bought it they are fucking idiots, why would they spend more money on something?
It's not really a free mount when you payed for 6 months of sub time lmao. Again like said its a marketing scheme. They know bfa is loosing subs so they needed a way to bandaid the situation. Free pixels guys!!!! All you have to do is pay for 6 months of the game!!! A good portion of those people who got it pay month to month and I bet a large chunk of those people arent even playing. But guess what they're still paying so it's all good for blizz
And you dont even know when they made that mount! Could've been developed in mop, for all you know they were waiting for the right time to release it. Well what better time to release a cool mount then at a point everyone is mad and leaving and attach to a 6 month sub purchase
except it is free, because i was already in the middle of a 6 month sub.
so i literally got it for free.
if people bought 6 months but didnt intend to play those 6 months they are idiots, and that you think that is a good player, one we should agree with?
then maybe you need to look over yourself.
I got the mount for doing nothing as I already had a 6 month sub when the promotion went into effect.
Personally, I don't like the mount, it's clunky and sits weirdly above the center point of the screen on use.
Honestly, who cares if it was a retention tactic? How dare Blizz make money, right?!?
Here is something to believe in!
Oh so you work at blizzard entertainment and know when they made this mount? Didnt think so. ok yay for you, you had a 6 month sub already. You werent their target. Their target was the people on the fence of leaving but they couldnt resist an exclusive mount...oh to be naive again and believe any bs blizz throws at you....
