Hell yeah, lets get those salty tears flowing. Now we just need the spectral tiger and magic rooster and we're good.
I used to be one that said, limited time? Too bad for you.Now: WoW is 18years old. Its time to make very very very scarce rewards obtainable again. (There are some rewards that majority of players will never see, because the era it was obtainable: Has had those players retire or move on. Plus we have over 500 mounts now lmao) That and the sheer amount of cosmetics trend in SL and DF. We have more of a personal identity now than ever before! This is a nice thing. (I am still holding out for the epic bow from OG Rag that grew flowers. Rok'mar? or something.)
FYI: We get a recoloured spectral tiger on the trading post. (Please don't cry)
although im excited for those who missed out n is willing to donate to daddy bobby, cant lie tho am slightly saddened by the fact that i thought this was a cool n unique mount, not so much anymore o wells eShrug
I am happy for anyone who can buy this mount now. I only had to pledge to remain subbed for a year which I was going to do anyway and I got a free game too. There are some things that I might be a bit salty about if they were to come available (Vanilla CE pets maybe?) but on the other hand.... There's also some stuff I'd love to have had but that I missed my window of opportunity for and I'm okay with them not returning, though recolours might work or FoS for original owners.
When I originally got this, I ended up going through a rough patch and couldn't afford the full year...so I had to give it up.I didn't expect this and this actually makes me really happy. I loved this silent mount.EDIT: Interesting fact:--- If you got this back during the promotion, then had it revoked, and repurchase it, you will NOT get a 'received' animation or notification. The mount will already be in your mount list. I was confused at first.
Should probably add on to this post that the mount is only available until January 2nd, 2023 as per the mass post from Blizzard on all the Holiday Sales
The only positive thing that can be said about this situation is that the people who bought it originally, even by mistake, don't have a giant neon sign with the word "virgin" following them anymore. Otherwise, yet another ugly mount to the paid ones. How Blizzard makes them so goddamn ugly is a mystery.
When will they add Tyrael's hilt to the store? :-)
Okay, but hear me out on this: When the Diablo 3 Annual Pass was announced (Oct 2011, I think) and they offered this, if you kept your account active for a year, you'd get this now and Diablo 3 when it launched. I was planning on canceling my sub at the end of January to try something else out for awhile, but I said WTH, I'll keep it active, play on occasion and get the mount and a game for free...kind of. Got the mount, it was awesome. Played Diablo 3 when it launched, hated the Auction House, but otherwise "I" loved the game. Well I stopped playing for awhile: Work, Life, other games, happens to us all. My Debit expires in Aug 2012... Oct 2012 rolls around and I'm excited cause work chills out, it gets cold and Hallows End comes up soon, I'm excited. ACCOUNT NOT ACTIVE. WTF you mean it's not active. Check and find out about the card, fix that and go to play WoW, logged of last still riding the Tyrael Charger mount, still in the air. Cool cool, still have it. I land and walk around town, can't re-summon the charger. Can't play Diablo 3. I try to put in a ticket, they can't do anything for me. I call to talk to a live person, they tell me my card expired and because it wouldn't charge for Sept 2012, I lost it all... one month, $15. I told the guy over the phone, "Dude, I'm happy to pay the $15 to set it right, but check my logs, outside of 5 logs throughout the year, I hadn't PLAYED since Jan 2012 and Diablo 3 when it came out in May." Blizzard said Sorry, there's nothing I can do. You can't get the mount and You'll have to Buy Diablo 3. I was pissed, stopped played until Feb 2014 when I got the Diablo 3 Battle chest that gave me the expansion as well. Now, in this respect, would you say that I've earned the ability to buy the Tyrael's Charger Mount. Cause I haven't yet, don't even know how much it is, but damn "I" think I've earned it!
Can someone comfirm it's avaible only for some period of time (like only before D4 launch) or not?
