This week it's whining about Horde bias, next week it'll be back to whining about Alliance bias. Get attention spans longer than a week. I wonder how much money Blizz makes off of people impulse switching faction and races back and forth for silly reasons?
lul more horses and gryphons for the Alli*!@s. Cue HORDE BIAS. Not Blizz's fault the Alliance allies are boring.
So Alliance needs to get exalted with 3 different factions to get 3 gryphons and Horde only needs 1 faction to get 4 pterrordax mountsand as well has the hyena mount is likely horde only since it is tied to the Voldunai. and the FLYING SPIDER BAT is horde only since it's from Talanji's Expeditionthanks Blizz that seems fair......
I approve of the horses. It's better than flying around in a metal goblin face. I mean, come on.
Really wish Blizzard would add girths to the horse's saddle. It looks stupid just sitting there on the back. Try to mount a horse without a proper girth. You'll fall off unless you're using a ladder or something to get on. And chances are you'd still fall off if the horse rears or makes a sudden move you aren't read for. Best case you'll start sliding backward which puts you further away from the horse's head which would be more inclined to piss off the horse and throw you as a result.I take it no one at Blizzard has ever ridden a horse.
The effort discrepancy between the horses and dinosaurs is honestly incredible. They didn't even bother with ARMOR for the horses.If you paid attention to the first release of the horses, you may have noticed that the blue one's scant fixings, for example, were literally copy/pasted from the Cata storm drakes. I thought and hoped that that was a placeholder, but now they've made the textures vaguely higher rez, making it official: The alliance is getting piecemeal scraps from other mounts. They cannot even be bothered to make the tiniest scrap of new armor for the Alliance horses. And where they aren't copy/pastes, we get pathetic little socks in place of proper armor.Meanwhile, I remind you, the Horde gets elaborate gold plating. Even the Gryphons are recolors while the Horde gets the ToT mount's skeleton with new polygons on top and brand new custom armor.Amazing.
Love the new mounts. Stop whining about recolors, that's how we got that paragon cache crap.
The new horse model is really cool, though they don't have so much props around them as the Seabraid stallion. Still, drastically better than the old horses and will get me back to using horses on ground.I also hope the hyena will be neutral faction.
As long as they are bought and not more freaking RNG paragon style mounts. I want to buy or earn my ponies, not continuously fail to get them out of a box that I have to grind for several days to get only to fail again.
Those horses look AMAZING! And I love the fact that we finally get more colour variants of the new gryphon model. The Dusky Waycrest Gryphon looks especially epic!
Jesus... So basically their idea of interesting mounts is slapping horses and gryphon recolors of models we already have?Yea, it's not like the only faction they're putting effort is the Horde, right... Gosh, it's so garbage. It's probably to go along with the garbage Warfront sets. (yay, because what we needed most was more... human themed junk... yay...)
Missed an opportunity for a seal/crab mount.Edit: Also is Talanji's Expedition Horde only?
Woot more mounts for collection, now to expect them all to be massivly expensive and near impossible to gain if you don't make much of a gold income
i like horses.
On the plus side this makes it seem the bee and frog mounts aren't gonna be faction-locked.
