Bee Mount Can't Be Used By Horde (and just general discussion about Horde/Alliance mounts)

[Sierrapaw-stormrage]

I knew that we had to be alliance to get it, though I was pretty surprised to see it couldnt be used by horde. My horde toons are now on strike. If I’m going to put all that work in,why cant I use it on my whole account? My Tauren shaman really needs to ride one to amuse me.

[Sharinah-aggramar (Sharinah)]

well…if it makes you feel any better, its kind of a pain to get.

not enough of the jelly spawns
too many people looking for them
hard to see them, even with settings changed
20 points per turn in
The ‘events’ are all spread out

I mean…I will do it, to add him to my mount count/collection…still gonna be a pain if you ask me.

and, I would be in game maybe trying to find more of the jelly things…but

I can’t loot that right now, it’s an invalid target

so there’s that too

[Sierrapaw-stormrage]

This. Personally, I dont even know if I am going to do it tbh. I flew around today for a little over an hour. Found two jellies and got a rich jelly (80 rep) from the honey smasher guy. I just dont have that kind of time these days. To bee or not to bee.

I suspect this is to make up for the variety of mounts on the Horde side while we got reskins. The Alliance was told it was because those mounts (horses/gryphons) are Iconic to humans. Well raptors are iconic to Trolls and yet they didn’t get reskins of those.

I dunno.

This. Horde players need to stop being spoiled when Alliance gets something exclusive and cool.

[Leinadh-stormrage]

If a hordie wants to make an alliance character and go through the rep grind on that character the bee mount should be usable on their main.

So if a Mage main wants to make a Paladin character and go through the Class Hall quests, the Legion dungeons, the legendary follower quest, the Breaching the Tomb achievement and finally the Paladin mount quests on that character, does that mean the Paladin mount should be usable on their main?

No. The Horde has been incredibly spoiled ever since TBC. It’s time the Alliance gets just a tiny tad bit of love and exclusivity.

If I have to roll Horde to ride a Bloodswarmer, then you have to roll Alliance to ride a bee mount. End of discussion.

Nobody in the Alliance uses that ugly mount. Make it a Horde-only mount for all we care.

[Asmo-kul-tiras (Asmo)]

Are all your mounts named Eric?

Nah but all of my Hunter pets are named Duncan.

Argument instantly invalid.

That’s the entire issue. The Horde “Exclusive mounts” ARE available to Alliance as recolors.

Talking about the Hyena?

Here,

Captured Dune Scavenger

Oh I know, you are talking about the Direhorn’s and Pterodactyl’s that are literally reskins existing since MoP.

I ride Kua’fon all the time on my Alliance Warlock.

[Dangerclam-barthilas]

I mean I knew of it in PTR but I thought logically it would be fixed and Horde can use it like Alliance can use Kuafon

[Whitecrow-khaz-modan (Whitecrow)]

The bee mount is sanctioned for Alliance use only, while both Horde mounts can be used by both factions.

The Horde mounts are the ones not conforming to the rules.
If it can’t be earned by the character, it can’t be used. Has been the rule since account wide mounts were introduced.

You can’t use the Warlock mounts on non-Warlocks.
You can’t use the Windriders from Org on Alliance.

You shouldn’t be able to use the (effectively) Horde exclusive Mounts of BFA no Alliance character can earn… on an Alliance character.

[Cutecumber-area-52]

No, you guys had cool mounts exclusive to you, now it’s our turn, Horde people always told us “lul too bad” and now its bad when Alliance get an exclusive mount?

A lot of Alliance players are spiteful dudes.

[Azuremi-proudmoore (Azuremi)]

Isn’t this Bee mount a worse grind than getting BFA flying. Which I still don’t have because of how time gated it is.

[Leinadh-stormrage]

I mean I knew of it in PTR but I thought logically it would be fixed and Horde can use it like Alliance can use Kuafon

That’s all but logical. If anything, it’s the Kuafon mount that has to be fixed.

[Ixhuatepec-area-52]

What Horde exclusive mounts if any do the Horde have where the Alliance doesn’t get a counterpart?

[Dangerclam-barthilas]

I agree that one or the other has to be fixed. I’d prefer to have the bee usable on horde since Alliance players then lose out on two mounts if we make both sides exclusive. Its not fun, either way.

[Jimusa-area-52]

ITT: how dare blizzard give the alliance an alliance specific mount

[Meurqi-tichondrius (Meurqi)]

We’re all one big Alliance now. I’ve been looking over the benefits package and it’s quite generous. Low copays and a big network.

At last, High Elves in the Alliance baby.

[Burkkins-moon-guard]

Join Alliance today, and gain deluxe access to Ironforge, capital city of the Alliance.

[Audree-moon-guard]

Contrary to popular belief, the Alliance and the Horde players don’t get a say on what is faction specific and what’s not. So y’all tooting your ‘hur hur faction tribalism’ should really be directing your complaints to Blizzard instead of ripping at your fellow players throats on something they have ZERO control over.

[Tiresias-moon-guard (Tiresias)]

Well seeing as two of the Horde specific mounts can be used by Alliance players, there is a problem. I was looking forward to using the bee mount on this character.

[Voxplaga-ravencrest (Voxplaga)]

I suppose you have forum threads you’ve created where you can link how you’ve made productive and constructive suggestions on how you feel they can do better?

Well they did make an alliance exclusive bee.
