Seriously making a mountain out of mole hill aren’t you?

63

Yea believe it or not, when a single item/skill/class/race dominates over the others usually a tweak is made. Why should this not apply to mounts? Because there was a grind to get it? Its an MMO- there is a grind to get everything…

64

Not really. I mean, this isn’t the hill I want to die on. This isn’t a deal breaker and if I’m being honest, it doesn’t bother me as much as zone mob scaling, the delay in flying or the loss of Vale and Legion Dalaran portals, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t another straw on the camel’s back.

It is yet another way in which Blizzard is taking something away and making us jump through a hoop to get back a similar level of functionality that we have now.

A tweak. To a class. Not a full on remove an ability on a mount, which doesn’t affect actual gameplay. It affects travel.

Again… apples to shoes. And you’re still trying to justify something being removed. Have fun with that. :wave:

Then every mounts special ability should be taken away. Treat them all just like the water strider. No more auction, no more picking herbs with out being dismounted, no more repair, and no more transmog. no more anything. Just send a item to the people that have them that lets them equip it in this new equipment slot.

Who wants to bet Ion was behind this?

He is a shaman, this does not hurt him, he can walk on water and not be dazed. He does not care what it does to us, never has.

The other person described it as a hoop and you don’t seem to be really disputing that. You just refer to it as a hoop.

It seems pretty minor to me and gives me the benefit of letting my use my other mounts for water walking instead of the stick-legged bug I’ve been stuck with for the past 8 months.

Got Invincible and not a DK? Have fun with that mount in pre-flight outdoor content…

Dear lord why does it even matter? This is the same patch that unlocks flying too, you realize?

71

So, getting something that was originally the mount could do? Cool? So what is this benefiting too?

Which is easy to get. But why does there have to be mount equipment for mounts when some mounts does things differently than others, i.e Water Strider can walk on water? Why is this being removed and turning into Mount Equipment?

So once again, buying more things for alts, something that mounts have, should’ve never been removed and made to be for buying so the mount can do for what they were intend to do.

Once again, we’re losing more out of this all for what?

Exactly. It’s a hoop. It may or may not be a major hoop, but it’s still an added step (time and gold) to get back the functionality that I currently enjoy. I have a lot of alts. I care less about which mount has water walking and more about the fact that right now it’s available immediately on any alt that I have and any future alts that I make that are level 20 or higher. After 8.2 that won’t be the case. I’m losing functionality that I currently enjoy and have to jump through a hoop to regain what I lost. For some, this is an overall improvement. For others, it’s not. I wish Blizzard would realize that not everyone plays the game the same way and that it’s okay to have more than one way to go about doing things.

Not immediately. And even once flying on BfA lands is unlocked, that won’t help my characters that are level 20-59.

74

Send it free to all my alts, forever, when they hit 20. If I have to rebuy it for even 1 copper and make the trek out there they can stuff this change right up their behind. I already bought the strider. We are not going to play this game of taking away and buying back. Stop.

75

There’s only one equipment slot per character so that character is locked to that 1 specific ability for all their mounts

You level through water that often in vanilla world zones? Most I can think of is walking across a minor river like Elwynn/Duskwood or the Plaguelands. This is a total non-issue. This adds player choice to the game that people have been begging for, and now that they have it, they complain. I honestly don’t understand.

Your principles need a reality check if you’re going to argue about a single copper.

78

You will play the game how blizzard wants you to and like it. The more hoops you jump thru the more time you play. And we all know more time played = more fun.

79

Just spend timewarped badges…MoP timewalking is in like 2 weeks.

Woo I have the choice to lock my character into water walking OR anti daze wooooo.
