?
Not it always could fly. You couldnt fly in shadowlands with any mount till pathfinder but blanchy was from the get go a flying mount.

Because of a bug from a mount that dont even had a flying horse animation? they should make it even dumber?
lmao

My class can 1 shot everything makes all classes 1 shot everything mentality.

Yes, because the model didnt even had a flying animation, it just walked comically in the air, and was a recolor of a well know ground mount.

I know it must be hard for you to get.
Innarius charger also wasnt supposed to be a flying box when the bug came to be. Despite it beign show as a box.

Well known? Says who? You? Because you did? You know there is more people in the game than you right?

No. When sinrunner blanchy was first released, it could not fly. There are several forum posts to prove this.

No, because it’s more in line with their design philosophy. This is the same game that has onesies and lightsabers and selfie cameras. It can’t possibly get more dumb.

In case you missed the mark, blizzard.

True found the patches note it started flying in 9.1, my apologies.

Oh my bad, i can see how excited everyone was waiting on all the sporebat mounts from the next & upcoming phases….:roll_eyes: when i was watching Lemix streamer videos talking about how excited ppl were for the DK mounts because they could fly, unlike Midnight :upside_down_face:

I was a DK in Legion and I never wanted them. I don’t grind for ground mounts.

71

bwahahaha, that absolute laziness right there .

72

I’d take apologies at this point. Doubtful we’ll get it.

I think that’s just criminal. WTH no pegasus mount? Massive fail on Blizzard.

Wtf are you not understanding about thus? Your point doesnt stand. Gonna break this down for you and the rest on the yellow submarine :man_facepalming::upside_down_face:

  • Day 1 of Lemix, the mounts while not available until the next phase, on the vendor were listed as ”FLYING MOUNTS” Obviously most of you didnt bother reading the mount description, because it was highlighted in red as unavailable at the time.
  • Day 1 Phase 2 Lemix the mounts are released as flying mounts and customers (that got the mount) complain about the flight animations. Which doesnt make sense considering this isnt their (Blizz) 1st flying horse mount. Players asked for the animations to be fixed
  • Response from Blizz w/out warning make them ground mounts, instead of fixing the flight animations to prexisting flying horse models.

But everything is cool right? :man_facepalming: :rofl: smdh :victory_hand:

It’s frustrating because Blizzard finally did something right, and then they had to revoke it as a mistake.
I was so hyped to use these mounts

I was thinking actual pegasus, white and shimmery horse with wings. Like in the myths.

Huge L Blizzard, you could have done the right thing, but you took the low road yet again. Well at least you’re consistent.

If they flew like Headless Horseman, any of the other chargers would you have wanted them, though?

Please learn to use definitions properly.

A bait and switch is a very simple process to understand. First you are thrown the bait. Normally this takes the form of an advertisement for a product or products which look too good to be true when you really analyse them, but they’re framed in such a way that it’s believable.

Then comes the switch. After you’ve paid for the item, you get it, only to find that it does not do what the advertisement said it did, or it is of a drastically lower quality compared to what you were told you were getting.

So, for example, if you bought a PlayStation 5 for $100 on the Facebook marketplace, but then when you cracked open the case you found that someone put PS4 internals in there so you don’t own a PS5 at all, that would be a bait and switch.

Now, I know what you’re probably going to type. I was told this mount was going to fly, and now it can’t fly; there’s the bait and the switch. Except no, that’s not true in this case, because what do you see on every single tooltip for a mount before you purchase it from any vendor? Blue text right above the text ‘Use: Teaches you how to summon this mount’ that tells you whether the mount is a flying mount or whether it’s a ground mount. And what do you know? When I go to the tooltips of all the Bonesteed mounts and Midnight’s Eternal Reins, what do I see? The text says ground mount, not flying mount.

Which means flying with those mounts was the result of a bug, which is why it wasn’t using the same animations that the Warlock’s Dreadsteed or Highlord’s Charger use, because it was never intended to be up in the air.

This is a case of you purchasing something without bothering to read the tooltip and getting mad because now the mount doesn’t do what you assumed it would, even though it was never supposed to do that in the first place.
