Edit: You guys do realize that now Blizzard is going to time-gate all recipes and have the ingredients drop at a low rate, in future expansions.
I still can’t believe you’re going through with this.
I still don’t see the reasoning behind it.
There was nothing wrong with people EARNING the water strider mount via rep grind, nothing.
Just don’t understand what type of players you guys are creating/catering to.
I agree that mount equipment is a waste, but I still think it’s better than the water strider. It’s too late to take away water walking from classes that aren’t death knights and shamans so they might as well go all out and ruin the uniqueness all the way.
Water strider is ugly. Now all your pretty mounts can walk on water.
Mobs in the new 8.2 areas will be adjusted so we’ll need parachute equipment in some areas, anti-daze in some, added speed in some and water-walking in some.
The whole aim is to keep us switching equipment - this is why it’s mount-journal wide and not per mount - so we keep spending gold on new equipment. (It works as a gem slot in the mount journal, and using a new equipment breaks the previous one.)
Acti-Blizzard loves micro-transactions, and this is their way of introducing a continual source of micro-transactions to WoW. At approx 1000 gold per item, they’ll have much of the active player base buying an extra token each week to cover the constant equipment changes.
Why is everyone so hung up on the water walking? It’s such an occasional thing, and we’re about to unlock flying anyway. Daze protection though. That’s the future!
That’s just silly. No one makes their regular gold like that. Even if they were 1000g each (a number you’ve completely pulled out of thin air) that wouldn’t be that much. You talk as if people are going to be hotswapping them every few hours or something. Most people are just going to find their favourite and settle into it for the long haul.
Every mount could walk on water, and has been like that for a very long time. So your argument is?
Removing functionality just to sell it back to us is scummy.
8.2 will see a surge of death knights and shamans probably
Pretty much this.
I am beyond excited not to constantly have to use this god forsaken waterstriders everywhere i go
Idk, I like this idea and support it.
I absolutely hate the water strider. I have one myself and I loathe having to use it. Plus seeing everyone use the same mount is so boring.
I love seeing unique mounts when im out in the world.
I will be looking forward to this change.
Players will now be able to water walk using the mounts that they prefer.
Now, you see.
More accurately: Players have to buy the water walking equipment because their designated water mount lost it’s core functionality.
If you can’t see why people are mad, then I’m not going to waste my time explaining it further.
Oh someone probably just joined the game in the last couple of expansions, complained that they didn’t want to have to go back and do old content to get a water strider, and Bliz in it’s effort to please everyone came up with “mount equipment” as their brilliant idea to solve the issue.
Always could. Now, you see.
More than half the income from WoW is now generated by token sales.
The environment will be tailored to ensure a need for continual changes.
Où trouver l’équipement des montures ?
Les objets pourront être craftés par les joueurs via les professions. Par exemple, le forgeron pourra vendre l’objet empêchant d’être hébété. Blizzard estime grosso modo que les prix devraient être de 1000 pièces d’or pour les objets, mais bien évidemment, le tarif risque d’exploser au lancement, donc attendez peut-être quelques jours avant de craquer, histoire que les prix soient un peu décents.
People still need the rep to get the cheap water walking equipment. From the same vendor as the mount.
This.
I’m so tired of looking at this ugly bug.
If you don’t like this change, do what I’m going to do. Equip the inflatable mount shoes and never look at this system again.
Not enough people explored the other op[tion. So we had stampedes of bugs all over the place. Good riddance. (imo)
I think water walking is just one piece of what Blizz is trying to do here. I think they’re trying to add another cool mechanic onto mounts, and streamline some stuff. It’ll kind of be like GW2 special mounts having abilities that change how you interact with the game world. If they implement it right and add onto it this will be really cool.
