Good to see you again, grandmaster

[Powerogue]

Ban-Lu is a beautiful mount. Majestic, ferocious, truly a monk's dream...



But if I have to hear the tale of the Hozen and the Buttercream pie one more goddamn time I'm throwing him into the Maelstrom.

Up until now, this addon has worked to shut him up. He still says the lines, but they stop being voice acted. Simple, effective. https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addon...k-mount-ban-lu

8.2 has finally broke it.

Help.

[Dellis0991]

You will hear Ban Lu and yo will like IT!

[Rollatorklm]

how on earth can you hate it? its by far my favorite mount, ill never get tired of listening to his random banter!

[Felarion]

TBH guys, i just pick up my monk after few months hiatus and "Where are we goin today Grandmaster ?" make me smile But i agree, option at monk class hall with a npc to mute our tiger would be great.

Now you can use https://www.wowinterface.com/downloa...SoundFile.html
and https://wow.tools/ to find the fileIDs of the voice lines

[Varly]

If anything, future patches/expansions should add more lines about previous patches/expansions. That way you can get nostalgic together

[melzas]

I love him, but I just cant stand that he has no ears (guess they are supposed to be covered by helm, but still looks weird).

[this is caranthir]

I have to unlock the mount again on a new account, I can't wait.

[Queen of Hamsters]

I love him keeping me company.
I especially love it when there's a somber moment, such as making contact with Little Pamela in Darrowshire, only to have Ban-Lu mention the Hozen and the Buttercream pie.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Buttercream the Pie?

and https://wow.tools/ to find the fileIDs of the voice lines

Color me interested, but I have no idea how to use either of those. Does the original addon give any indication in its file data on what the voice lines are called or where they are?

OOF. IS IT MUCH FURTHER, GRANDMASTER?

Ban Lu keeps calling my Void Elf fat.

She's getting a complex and now she can't eat mana buns.

[Nefarious Tea]

I actually want to HEAR the tale of the Hozen and the Buttercream pie. He never actually tells the damn story! And what type of buttercream is it?

Considering buttercream is literally just icing, it's a disgusting pie that is 5% crust, 47.5% butter, and 47.5% sugar. If there was a throwup emoji on mmo champ I'd use it.

Here's hoping you're BrM or WW because if you're MW... there might be problems :P

you need to cut back on the mana buns, grandmasterrrr.

(on a serious note anyone have any more info on how to fix this? I can't figure out d87's response at all.)

this is what i've been doing, works well. blizzard should have just made his dialogue non-spoken it's annoying and disruptive for a mount to be talking all the time

[Powerogue]

A true monk does what he likes and doesn't follow the opinions of others

(Or something like that?)

A WISE MONK CHOOSES THEIR OWN STYLE, RATHER THAN LET POPULAR OPINION DICTATE IT!

(Yes I have every one perfectly memorized. This is what happens.)

I still haven't found the opportunity to try the proposed fix, since it sounds like it'll take a lot of fiddling around with sound files and the game folders, but I'll get to it eventua-

TO SPEAK OF CHANGE WITHOUT BEING WILLING TO TAKE ACTION, IS LIKE DIGGING A HOLE TO CATCH A CLOUD SERPENT.

[Powerogue]

When I first obtained Ban-Lu to a shower of petals, I knew that this was my favorite class mount of all time.



I took him through thick and thin. Many great adventures.



And many terrible battles.



So I'm pleased to say that, with this thread's help, the Tale of the Hozen and the Buttercream Pie is concluded. I couldn't hear a word, and I couldn't be happier to have Ban-Lu back on my hotbar.



It was so weirdly nostalgic, hitting "play" on all the sound bytes with the addon to make sure I had the right files, hearing them all again, that I wonder if I'll even keep it on. ^_^

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, GRANDMASTER.

[Pandragon]

He does get annoying. But, my god, I had a moment with him I'll never forget. I just did the Illidan quest chain in Legion, and went to Hyjal to listen to the last memory crystal. Illidan said "the defense of our world, of all we hold dear, rests with you". I mounted Ban-Lu and he said "Where are we going today, Grandmaster". Ahhh that made that moment so epic.
