This, SO much this. Horde needs to be told no for ONCE. Constantly get told The Horde is Waiting For You, blah blah blah. But when the reverse happens it’s oh no I can’t switch to alliance that not an option. Well okay then, TOO BAD.
If we are balancing things fine - lets do that, then blizzard owes alliance another one of these types of mounts.
Actually I even have an idea for that - they can call it Horde Tears and make it in the shape of a tear.
I have both toons so im perfectly fine with that.
It is an extremely weird, corny and an illogical feeling when i earned the bee (8 days to obtain for me) and also able to ride the 2 horde locked mounts (30~days obtaining time) all at the same time. When i can’t even look up the Bee on the Horde tab.
I can’t be bothered earning the horde ones but I wouldn’t use them on my alliance characters anyway. I have 395 mounts and only use about 5 of them.
The fact is you can use them regardless of wanting to or not.
The bee is just more exclusive?
You aren’t telling anyone anything they don’t know.
I seem to see a lot of agreement with not letting alliance ride the dino mounts, since they seem pretty miniscule.
So i personally would welcome that change, but we all know its never going to happen.
What will happen is the release of the Datamined Bee recolors, of which i will anticipate alliance diehards making threads saying why they cant have something unique.
But thats a fork way down the road.
Guess it’s only really injustice if the Horde doesn’t gain something unique for once, meanwhile the Alliance and their 4 “unique” Horse mounts.
Amen
Yes please. I would love to use the horses on my horde too, they are my favorite mounts when I play alliance.
The OP has already earned the bee on her ALLIANCE character. Who doesn’t have both anyway?
Alliance rise up! Get yee flasks! Take a dip in the horde tears, drink the sweet saltiness, all of BFA they got the cool mounts. Now for once got one! Drink up drink up!
Hrm…a fair and just point.
So which one?
However my point was that the argument “the faction that earned it should have exclusive right to it” is weak based in prior examples in this expansion.
I kind of hope more cool mounts get the same treatment in the future (oh a badass vicious wasp for horde maybe). Have more that are work and time invested to get and not just “rngjesus loves me/hates me” grinds. Room for both I think.
Blizzard can’t do anything nice anymore. Back in the day you would have more people showing their excitement over such a cool mount being added to the game. Instead you get a bunch of QQ threads over having the mount but not exactly the way you want it. You want to ride the bee mount? Get it on alliance. That is what I’m doing and enjoying myself. When I play my horde toon, I’m not gonna throw a tantrum cause I can’t ride a specific mount. I’ll just jump on something else I’ve worked my butt off getting.
I have a 110 Tauren shaman but that’s it for Horde. I’ve thus far refused to level him because the Hordeside story up until now makes you little miss Sylvanas’ lackey.
I won’t lie, it is actually a little refreshing to see only a single faction grinding out rep for this mount, all the NPC’s and enemies are tagged Alliance and you don’t have to fight for mobs.
You got them before in previous expansions while we got yet another crappy horse reskin.
I am surprised, actually. I thought that once you earned it on an Alliance toon, all of your characters could use it. Kinda like the Horde equivalent. I thought it was going to work the same way.
Yeah. They were trying to give the alliance something cool since they got shafted the rest of the expansion, and surprise surprise, the hordies have to whine about it.
Just like the alliance had to “get over” the fact that they got a bunch of reskins for their rep mounts, the horde will learn to get over this one. Eventually.
Dear blizzard forums,
This definetley feels like some kinda of bug after I got it on my Alliance toon.
(i play both horde and ally for mounts)
It was really weird not being able to ride it on Horde when I can ride the dino mounts i obtained after waiting a month~ of doing dailies.
The recolors that were datamined will 100% be horde obtainable, probably for the alliance too.
Ion has to keep his promise he made to make up for all the crappy BFA ally mounts with the Bee.
If the Bee released for both factions today, Alliance would be on thier high horse (literally) crying why cant they have something exclsuive.
So to all you Hordies: you know you have superior mounts, and the Bee is coming
To the Ally: pls ride it everyday and enjoy it before you come crying when the horde gets theirs.
Sincerely, a 2 faction mount god.
Man for a bunch of bloodthirsty savages, the Horde sure is up in a rile about a fluffy bee.
