Alabaster mounts

Blizzard can’t even be bothered to color the models.

They’re just like “Here’s a mount we guess… come give us your money you sheep”

Seriously, these are the most uncreative mounts I’ve ever seen… Y’all are slacking

The best thing here would have been to sell real life sculpted models on the shop instead of mounts.

Then again this is my opinion.

Yes but now the unequal arm thickness of all wyverns isn’t an issue because this one is made of stone. We’ll just sculpt away the larger one! :smiley:

That would be cool. I’d buy a wyvern or gryphon statue

Probably both lol

You know what is funny?

People would be like “Shut up and take my money”.

But Blizzard wants to put it where a lot of people hate in a format which has not been giving them good pr

They were fine as a 15th anniversary in game bundle… but if blizz cant be stuffed making more of that sweet sweet ragnaros statue why would we buy the “filler” stuff?

This feels like more of an insult than genuine fan service.

It’s the 15th anniversary of Vanilla WoW. The mounts are a play on that nickname. They’re not supposed to have color… they’re supposed to be vanilla.

JHC you people will complain about anything. :roll_eyes:

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the color of the mounts… is the color of alabaster. You might argue that it’s lacking creativity, but they are the correct color for what they are intended to be.

Now, if you could spray paint them, like the other two that have “plain” color schemes to start, that would be creative.

Lets not be too hard on them.I mean subtlety is kinda rare around here.

I think they’re awesome. Hilariously awesome.

I thought I was the only one who thought they were terrible. Guess not.

Your opinion man, I think they’re best ones in store and I might actually buy a store mount.

Do… do you know what Alabaster is?

It’s a white rock. Literally the mounts are made out of living white rock.

I expected more from the art department. it’s like they took the base rendering and hit submit to their QC guys.

Again… they’re made from alabaster.

Alabaster is a white rock.

You can see that the textures are actually very good, with the mounts having cracks in them, which clearly shows that they’re made from stone.

“Just make it all white” is a terribly uninspired theme.

Oh, and pay us for the chicken with white paint dumped on it.

Put them in the cash shop: “why have boring mounts in the cash shop?”

Put them in game: “why does the cash shop get all the cool looking mounts?”

I understand why they look like they do, alabaster and all, but man they are boring and unimaginative in my opinion. Usually Blizz does a very good job with the looks of their mounts but they dropped the ball on these.
