I was just reading about mount equipment. If I read correctly, there can be a piece of equipment to be added to the character and the mounts own will have that ability. So, in my case, if there is a water walk feature as a piece of equipment, would it allow all mounts to walk on water?
And how does this affect the water strider, a mount I worked hard to get on MoP?
it might be easier to join in one of the (many) other active threads.
UPDATE: The Bind on Account Water Boots price is 40g and will require Anglers reputation.
In the PTR currently (in the first hour of the PTR):
Every character above 100 gets the water boots free in the mail.
The BoA version of the water boots was reported by someone as being reusable. (others report it’s consumed on use. need official info on this)
(The main discussion at the moment is whether or not the Water Strider should be able to use Mount Equipment or if it should keep it’s water walk…
In the livestream the senior game designer said there is “an ever present problem where there is one mount that is incredibly powerful” that mount, obviously, being the water strider and it’s innate water-walking abilities. He goes on the highlight why this is the case considering many zones(including ones in BFA) have stream and puddles.
But why is this a problem? Why is the water strider being a powerful mount a bad thing? You remove flying and add in a time-gated pathfinder system. You don’t…
Make the Water Strider exempt from benefiting from mount equipment, like the Shredder Golem will be, and let it keep the water walking perk by default.
Makes sense, offends nobody, the mount loses a lot of power compared to live. It’s dumb to have a water striker without built in water walking. That would be like needing an Airborne equipment so my wind rider could…ride the wind.
