Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't opt for something watery (Tidesage themed?) or even similar to the style of the Wicker-beasts, to add a bit of variety to Alliance side. I'm a Horde player, but I do feel for those that looked forward to what faction mounts we'd see. The Ally factions might be Kul Tirans all, but even two of the Horde ones are Zandalari and they have completely different mounts. There must be a lot missing we've yet to see.
Seriously, Blizz?Goddamn recolor gryphons, no originality there while Horde gets unique models with the hyena and spider mounts, even the pterrodax is different from the ToT one...Stop being lazy as f*ck and deliver some quality mounts for the Alliance too.
as horde player I must say new horse models ARE SICK!
So for the Horde, we'll give them pterodactyls, kinda like that Throne of Thunder mount. "What about the Alliance?"Who? Idk, just give them some horse and gryphons I guess. They like those, right?
While the New Horse Models are nice but putting nothing but horses and Gryphons is a bit much I really hope this is place holder.
I mean, I wanted those horses, but the horde gets the Hyena mount as equivalent? *groan* I'm beginning to strongly feel the need to turn my Horde alts into mains next expansion >_>
jesus christ give the alliance something else pls. birds and horses. HOW UNCREATIVE CAN BLIZZ FRAKKEN BE.
Lmao those gryphon's eyes are worse than the original models from vanilla/tbc. So lifeless.
The new horses and gryphons are cool, but is there really nothing else that these factions could offer on the side of uniqueness?
Sigh I dunno the Kul Tirans could have had so much more racial identity than horses. They are large battered warriors why not try something different? The wicker beast mounts, feral bears, huge wolf monsters, some unseen large wolverine-like monsters or steampunk themed vehicles powered by some shaman/water themed stormstones or arcane. Amphibian water/land machines? Anything but horses :-(
Blizzard artists forgot one vital piece of tack on the horses. The girth / cinch. Riders should fall off lolAnd fwiw...i want horde horses! And with only simple tack...including a cinch lol
... If that's the only Hyena mount we get, I'm going to be very disappointed.I was hoping for at least 4 or 5 of the different color varieties...
&*!@ yes to more horses and gryphons! I'm so pumped!
Blizz seriously phoned alliance mounts in AGAIN.Dev's on Horde: "OH! lets give them some Pterodactyls, some flying bugs, and Hyenas."Dev's in background: "What about alliance?"Dev's on Alliance:" Eh, just some horses and gryphons i guess..."
What a joke, Horde get 3 completely new models, and Alliance get the same horse model that every horse in the game will now have, and a gryphon mount we already had with minor color tweaks to the armor.
Poor alliance.. At least your Warfront armor and Kul'Tiran druid forms look dope. So glad I'm with the Horde though.
The Alliance are getting more humans, which use horses and gryphons(I do agree that there should have been an updated model for gryphons like the pterodactyls)...The Horde are getting Zandalari which use dinosaurs. I dont want to see a human paladin flying around on a pterodactyl, but you are kidding yourselves if you dont think theres gonna be a mythic/raid drop pterodactyl for all factions. And there are recolors of both the bloodfeaster and the hyena that, as of now, are not faction tied. Stop whining and just be excited for more new stuff to come! There's so many possibilities!
Took Blizz almost a year to release Worgen mounts to give balance and these were just horses without saddles. We shouldn't be surprised Blizz shows no enthusiasm behind alliance mounts.
Why do the Alliance get the same mounts as before but the Horde get all these new and unique models?
