I remember getting an unarmored epic mount before they updated them. They then gave you an option to upgrade them to the armored ones, most did. Is it going to be so true to vanilla that you guys will be replicating this? This was a big motivator for me to hit 60 quick. Thanks.

No they won’t have unarmored mounts
as of now the unarmored epic mounts that ORIGINALLY LAUNCHED WITH VANILLA will not be in the game ever. Blizzard believes that them existing will “influence people” during their first playthrough and force them to level up fast.
baseless, piss poor reasoning from devs that didn’t originally make the game.

That’s disappointing, that was a big reason to play at launch for me.

They’re encouraging players to take it slow and enjoy all aspects of the game. I know some people enjoy speed running, but I guess blizzard is telling them to cool it
I get that. But just because it’s an option to speed run doesn’t mean you need to do it. It’s a cosmetic thing anyways. I just thought they said something about a true vanilla experience is all.
Well…true vanilla experience from 1.12 and on
because hitting 60 and acquiring 1000g in 5.5 months is “speed leveling”… dude people are going to be 60 after the first week.
yeah I know? what does that have to do with the price of milk?
And people will speed level anyway. You think you want to speed level, but you don’t.

I know they will, but there won’t be motivation for everyone to try to hit 60 asap to get a mount
There’s many reasons to speedrun to 60. I just can’t believe an unarmored mount is their try at avoiding it.
This thread has already been created with tons of comments btw.

Since we’ve had the second version of epic mounts for 14 damn years, they should have left them to retail and used the old models instead. For trolls and taurens, the original epic mounts were 10x better looking than their replacement.

Yeah there will, it will just look different. All of the economic incentives to hit 60 early are still there. Blizz’s solution has managed to fail on every level here.

tons of comments and no answers… just some piss poor dev interview from 5 months ago where they told us they wouldn’t be in the game because…

What I was referring to by “a mount” was the unarmored mounts that this thread is about.
Obviously there are speedlevelers for many reasons.
But blizz has said they won’t players to not feel like they have to rush to get the unarmored lvl 60 mounts
They wouldn’t feel that way if they took unarmored mounts off the table.
Now they just want to rush to get armored 60 epic mounts, altering nothing except the end product - which is now less varied and authentic and altogether worse. Blizz says lots of stuff, when they listen to themselves we end up with BFA.
The OP asked if there would be unarmored mounts. The answer given by Blizzard was no. So yes there is an answer
