S4 KSM mount... really?

I see the work went in Arclight instead of making a cool unique mount inspired by WoD/Legion/BFA/SL raids/dungeons.

Could’ve used the Spelltome mount skeleton and made a spikey, maw/old gods style Necronomicon mount, hell anything but a fourth recolor, but instead you give me a less interesting version of the s2 mount.

You’re basically just rehashing content for this last season and it’s supposed to tie us over for 6+ months when we’ve already done it before. The least you could’ve done was put a modicum of effort into the reward.

I dunno why anyone rational would expect them to use a recolor of the same mount for the last three seasons for KSM and then come up with something completely new for the last one.

Recoloring a single model for each season of an expansion is how PvP mounts have worked since 2007. Dunno why people expected differently for M+ mounts.

Nope.

But at least we had new raid/world content that was a reward in itself. This isn’t just a new Shadowlands season, it’s a mash up of 4 expansions. They really had a chance to go wild here.

See above.

Enjoy it my Shadowlands experience is over. It’s been horrible and btw people not playing the game could care less about mounts.

Yes that patch is rehashed as a means to extend shadowlands to a point where they’re confident with releasing Dragonflight.

I’m ok with that

Most feedback I have seen is really more disappointed in the color, rather than it being a reskin itself. I think most people assumed there would be another recolor. But the similar color between the Season 2 and Season 4 one make it pretty meh. It’s like they pulled out the same color pallet and did that.

Some others have posted other ideas for recoloring it to something more unique… Red was pretty unique for season 3. They can easily swap the color for something more unqiue. If we aren’t getting any more content for S4 (which is fine), it seems like it would be a pretty low amount of work to simply make the KSM/Glad mounts more unique color-wise for Season 4.

Whoa almost like this hasnt been a thing since BC…gladiator mounts anyone?

So basically rehash so we don’t quit.

Yes…? A little bit of content to do while we wait for DF, rather than getting the literal nothing we normally get at the end of other expansions.

That’s the obvious entire point of it. It isn’t exactly a hidden thing here.

All they did was move the slider over a tiny bit and call it a new mount…wow. Really shows the quality of blizz as of late.

Not really content. I’ve already done it so I’ll just see you guys in DF.

Cheers.

I don’t really mind the recolors too much, I especially like the red. However, whoever made the choice for the blue green made a terrible decision. Seems like it would be an easy win to make it gold/white zerith mortis themed. Guess they just wanted to push that hue slider as little as possible?

Exactly my beef with it too. There are more colors, choose something else. Dark green, teal green, red, and then . . . other teal green? Couldn’t just pick something else?

check out MRGM twitch design for a sand looking variant color with yellow armor which looks way better than season 4 recolor

A white/gold recolor would have brought me back for S4 :hushed:
