I get that. I wish I could still tick a box and have the old low res version of everything. I wish I could tone down all of it, I’d even pay a few extra dollary doos a month for that.
After a little more research, apparently on beta, the divine steed ability has the updated visuals, but nothing else. While I certainly respect some like the old one, (I’ve had mine for ages too), I hope they give us the updated visuals as an actual mount as well.. New mount, glyph, or otherwise.. Don’t really wanna switch back and forth between N64 charger (mount), and high res (ability)

And the glyph to make your charger glow but have to use crusading aura… lame…

They just need to make it a glyph that effects all 3, charger, warhorse, and steed. I like my low res stuff.
Everytime I do anything in this game now my eyes are overloaded with 400 different flashing lights. Far to over stimulating.

The new models look really nice, but are they just ground mounts? If so I’ll probably never really use them.
Is there any update to this? Have they added the new model to the mount as well yet?
So my question is this, everything I’ve read is that the new models for human and blood elf paladin mounts are upgrades to the divine steed. My question is does this mean the mounts themselves are not getting this upgrade? I haven’t seen any confirmation of this and cannot find any additional information.
Ok logged in to check and yes.
The updated chargers are in fact…just Divine Steed.
As of right now, that seems to be the case. Seems silly right? I’d imagine they will update them (or just add a quest to get a new spell to keep the old for nostalgia??), but I’m too impatient to adopt that train of thought, I want to know now lol.
This is Blizzard we’re talking about. They’re no strangers to making absolutely baffling decisions. There’s a good chance the model is just for Divine Steed and the only mount that uses it will be the Scarlet Charger.
If we’re lucky, maybe it’ll become available for Paladin players in a secret questline five years from now.
Why must your hurt me so? lol Dx
If these models are only used for divine steed with no ground mount equivalent, then that is….very unfortunate. Was looking forward to this update but Blizzard always seems to find a way to kill my enthusiasm

Agreed, its such an easy win… I don’t get it.

here’s another pally main hoping these mounts can replace the Legion highlord variants and be glyph-able for divine steed for those that want to retain the classic look, too.
I seriously doubt any new mounts added to the game are intended to replace old ones. I think people are seeing mounts that are intended to be rep rewards, trading post goodies, or boss drops and getting their hopes up for nothing.
Yeah I was thinking this. There will probably be a short little quest chain for paladins to get a new spell. There’ll be some old fart out there my age who is like “I LIKE THE OLD MODELS!!!” lol

And here am I, wishing I could use the red version because I think the red version of the stormwind human heritage armor set is gorgeous. Despite knowing the mount doesn’t fly… and the red version is a blood elf thing… and I kind of abhor the idea of playing a blood elf… and these new models, IF we get them, probably won’t come very soon or be given easily
This is not a real mount ?! ….. /faint

yeah, i really hope we can use it. it’s movement animation is flawless - compared to the jerky, unnatural-looking movement of the highlord’s chargers
Would be awesome to ride around azeroth in that!

I’m kinda hoping when (or if) it gets added as a mount, they’ll give both factions access to both colors. Both colors match really well with my favorite paladin armor sets. The Alliance version goes perfectly with the normal recolor of the Lucent Battalion set and the Horde version goes great with the Judgement set.
