I kinda want the backpack and the banner. Those look cool. The rest... meh.

Wrirt's legs look... very 'meh'. I was expecting a peg leg like a pirate, not one that more resembles today's prosthetic attachments.

[ste1n]

OMG Tyrael’s Charger! My dreams finally came true! Hopefully it will be easy to obtain.

[Dead Moose Fandango]

I want that backpack. I want that thing with my entire being. It fits my thief character so much.

[MrLachyG]

OMG Tyrael’s Charger! My dreams finally came true! Hopefully it will be easy to obtain.

knew I shouldn't have bought that mount at the start of the year. ah well.

[Alayea]

Explains why my Tome of Town Portal toy got new animation this patch.

[Aerisot]

OMG Tyrael’s Charger! My dreams finally came true! Hopefully it will be easy to obtain.

I'm pretty sure it is in the TP next month.

[Mendzia]

OH right... Wirt's Third Leg was offensive...
I was thinking 'i don't remember it that way' and they changed it like 2 years ago.

[Cynical Asshole]

Tyrael's Charger and...and whole bunch of trash.

[czarek]

Tyrael's Charger and...and whole bunch of trash.

actually backpack and the cloak/hood is cool

[Gimlix]

I like the new items, why return Tyrael's Charger, talk about fucking over another group of players.
But hey people here will defend them by saying "it's just pixels"

Make new rewards Blizzard, don't return unobtainable ones..

[dontknowdoya]

I am not usually one to complain about mounts previously unobtainable being available again. In this case, however, they make it available for purchase and then make it available in game a month or so later; I do not know, that just does not seem like the best business practice and makes one less likely to buy something from the store. They should at least make the one for the event a variant or something.

[starkey]

Got the Hood and Cloak so far.

Oh no someone can get a mount that was exclusive over 10 years ago... the horror!!!!!

Ontopic: I have gotten almost everything but the mount urg.

[Rendark]

They should bring back more items. If they let me get the plague bat mount i would think about playing again.

Ye cause plague bat is the main reason you quit WoW and will make subbed for longer then 1 day? don't kid urself. all that these rewards do is fuck the remaining loyal players who did farm them and bother them more to quit for a different MMORPG that doesn't fck over their loyal fanbase.

New rewards -> Old rewards.

[thunderdragon2]

wish blizz would just state what the drop rate for the mount and bag is for the 1st kil of the day and the drop rate is for any subsequent kills

[Dristereau]

Not entirely sure why the Drop Rate is reduced for Alts for the bag, feels a bit rubbish. Also not sure how happy I am about the Charger coming back to the shop a few months ago for a limited time and then back again :S

[JSoup]

Oh no someone can get a mount that was exclusive over 10 years ago... the horror!!!!!

I believe the complaint is more that the mount was up in the shop for a month or two, is in this event now and is implied to also be in a future Trading Post. I'm not at all bothered that a mild conversation piece I got 12+ years ago is now available for other people. It does bother me, however, that people bought it just last month and its now free with some slight grinding.
