Spectral phoenix looks like the dark phoenix but with a slightly different effect. That's disappointing. I was expecting something more like the spectral horse and wolf from Tol Barad or spectral tiger.I would have preferred the fel talon or fel phoenix to that rehashed dark phoenix.
400 mounts achievement is a nice number, I think a lot of people are forgetting (which got a high number) that many mounts are unobtainable, it does kind of need to be obtainable. The Toy achievement should've probably been 450 though, a lot of people are already over 400.
I don't mind the idea of using reskins for achievements, especially since there are still a bunch of cool reskins datamined that were never used. That frosty elemental mount is awesome! Plus, relatively few people already have a felcore mount right now. That said, I'm a little dissapointed by the phoenix. It seems like a blend of ashes and the mount from the guildvendor, making it a bit too close to either.
50 mounts: reskin of drake mount100 mounts: reskin of dragonhawk mount (see: Sunreavers)150 mounts: reskin of panda kite mount200 mounts: reskin of dragonhawk mount (even more like the Sunreaver one)250 mounts: reskin of the Raggy mount, which itself is just a reskinned proto-drake300 mounts: reskin of the cloud serpent mountIn summary, they’ve always been reskins, guys. Stop QQing.
It's pretty obvious that these, outside of the Guldan recolor, are placeholders. The 400 mount ach reward is even listed as "Source : Hearthstone" right now on the beta. And the 100 rep mount is the exact same one that the guild Phoenix. There are several more examples in the mount journal on the beta right now.
Don't horde have an extra reputation they can get (Tranquillen) which doesn't have a comparison in alliance making it easier to get the rep achievements (easier is relative when it's 100 though) This could make it possible for horde to get it but not alliance.And alliance get a horse from the warfronts and horde get a real horse instead of skeleton - so horde get something they've wanted (a real horse model) and alliance get something they don't (another horse)Plus I don't know this for sure but do horde have an extra mount? My horde characters have 1 more mount than my alliance characters (i've all faction vendor mounts and the original honour mounts - no vicious or gladiator style mounts though)

If you think the 400 mounts reward is so bad then maybe just use one of your other 400 mounts? Or are you just collecting them for the achievement and then planning on only using the achievment mount?If you were a true ~mount connoisseur~ or whatever then you would probably appreciate neat reskins (which is what the mount achievement rewards always has been) anyway.
good thing for me that even including the 14 alliance exclusive mounts in my mount journal, i'm at 392 mounts, i look forward to riding that blue infernal on my frost dk tauren
cool.
Yeah, whatever happened to the Stormcrow? Almost forgot about that model but I was so hyped over it back when Legion stuff was datamined. :\
More recolors! yayyy!Seriously, a ground mount for 350 mounts? I'm not gonna bother with that. That horse though...well, still a recolor!
It seems they've added Zandalar Tribe back in the game after it was removed in Cataclysm, in BFA there's a troll called Maywiki in Zuldazar who counts as one, and seeks the old coins grom Zul'gurub, which I assume means we'll be able to get exalted with them again. Their old quartermaster is in game too, Rin'wosho the Trader, so we'll be able to buy the old recipies/transmogs. Also helps make the 100 Exalted reputations a little bit easier.
The 400 Mounts mount looks amazing!
