Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

This mount was added in (encrypted obviously) 8.3, if that helps with theorizing.

That makes me feel it'll be a 6 month reward as it coincides with the chinese year of the tiger.

The Zodiac mounts have always been the animal itself (so it should be a Tiger) and explicitly Asian-themed, this is not either of those.

Maybe. Wouldn't it be a Tiger then? And not a Firecat with an Ardenweald-esc saddle?

Doubtful.
It doesn't fit the aesthetic of the lunar year mounts and its name doesn't fit either.

Maybe they tried to spruce it up, since we already have a quadrillion tiger mounts.

[TheFirstOnes]

I'm prolly the only WoW fan hyped for An'she. Idk why LMAO I WANNA SEE BAINE DO SHIT!!!

Doesn't explain the Ardenweald looking saddle, the Green eyes (Which fits perfect with Il'gynoth's narrative regarding Life), the Sun look (Which also fits the Life narrative), the Mount description, etc.

[Nagawithlegs]

I feel late on this, but also compare the last store mount, the Skyblazer and the cat mount. One is blue and one is yellow/sun, which goes with the Elune and An'she dueling theme again. Similar saddle material on both of them.

[TheFirstOnes]

The only thing that really helps your theory of it being Chinese New Year related is the Keg behind it.

[Cosmic Janitor]

Nvm, they already sell it, lol, so it's not even a 6 month sub reward apparently.

[TheFirstOnes]

Yeah lol. We'll get a trailer for it, I think.

[Nagawithlegs]

Yeah lol. We'll get a trailer for it, I think.

It's up already. The use of Pandaria music makes me hope that it was intentionally a hint at the August Celestials playing a part in the patch.

You know that cats often also have green eyes and jade is the absolute trend color in china for a couple millenia now
But since they already sell it I doubt it is related, I though they just datamined that or found it on the PTR, not literally on the ingame store already. As Arafel said, the green eyes are just for coporate greed here.

[TheFirstOnes]

Wait...

IT IS BEHIND ARDENWEALD IN THE THUMBNAIL? AHAHAHAHA

Yes, but what better way to bring us the flames of Life than through a blazing Cat with Emerald Eyes?

And Bastion as well. The zone with a heavy Light theme and a secret Shaman area.

[TheFirstOnes]

Btw, I think the Eyes are supposed to be Emerald, not Jade.

[Raetary]

It uses that shitty gryphon rig that they used for the priest class mount.

The mount is officially ruined.

[Nagawithlegs]

We will also be getting an Elune themed store transmog and sprite darter pet soon so I think you can put everything together and surmise that Lifelands is very potentially our next patch in an Argus-like zone spread.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Sepulcher/Zereth Mortis can just be the raid ala Nyalotha. I’m not sure First One World has aesthetic uniqueness to make it a new zone but is possible, all we know is that it has sand, pyramids and lots of polygon shapes (see the robots and the boss arena in Sanctum).

Also people on MMOC are to crazy-negative to acknowledge the buildings in the files as potential evidence of a world revamp. They redid many Nelf building models in BFA that aren’t actually used in content there (they are inaccessible in Darkshore warfront and are not used in the Warsong revamp) and have multiple colors the same way vanilla nelf buildings have multiple colors depending on the zone.

We've talked the buildings up and down. And we've been on the World Revamp train for so long most of us just look at those and say "Evidence for a revamp, but I'm not getting burned a fourth time."

Okay why the fuck are we losing our minds about Lore's Cat being on fire?
