The new brutosaur mount is a failure (in concept)

i give that a first 200$ mount

you know, that one kills me, personally.
Bliz created a problem that didnt need to exist with these ridiculous tables, then makes that eng table to sell on the AH to ‘fix’ it. lol.

Its so annoying to want to go farm, but if I want to craft something I have to run back to that damned table from wherever Im at to do it. lol.

You just know that theyre gonna put a crafting table mount or toy for sale up soon :rofl:

And I’ll buy it anyway… :rofl:

Yep. Toy Incoming :slight_smile:

…more money to spend on games :rofl: :rofl: :+1:

I mean, how long ago did they ignore you? It IS only a matter of time, the highest the ignore goes is 6 months.

Ffs, that’s something i might pay for. Lol

While I wouldn’t, I would absolutely appreciate someone else paying for and using it :laughing:

Really? You’re upset because the other feature is a mailbox? Are you aware that the original Brutusaur has a common vendor and that’s it, so those of us that purchased it, most of us that’s our biggest issue. Yeah it’s annoying that a cash grab auction mount exists now so the exclusivity is not there, but I’ve never been one to try to keep others from having something that I enjoy. I just wish I had access to a mailbox one on my old boi, and now I see someone complaining that all you get is a mailbox? Good God

You know, a couple days ago I saw a post about how the success of the longboi2.0 is going to lead the inevitable “cash-grab” QOL mounts flooding the market; a barber/mog mount was the exact theoretical example the other person was complaining about.

Way I see it, longboi2.0 is an anniversary “special. If they plan to maintain integrity, we won’t get another new QOL mount for a few more years.
Otherwise, they’ll do it again; players get a new “insert here” that people have been asking for, and then the game we all love and have played for years gets more income and can keep making content.
Biggest fear is the over monetization at the cost of integrity but eh. We’ll get there when we get there (I’m looking at you OW)

Like the feral skin from the original Mage Tower. Never be available again, they said.

Keep an eye out for it coming in the shop for $50.

My cynical streak is showing. :sunglasses:

The Long Boi’s exclusive feature lasted long enough. I respect and appreciate the people who worked hard to get the mount. With that being said spending 5M gold at that time and up until now became almost impossible to acquire the mount. Blizzard knew players would want one. It’s a brilliant business decision. If someone paid 5M gold Versus the current value for the new one you’d have a lot of angry customers however everyone pays a subscription to the game anyway, does it give them an excuse to slap the players who worked hard to get that mount? No… they should be allowed skin features to customize their mount as a fair trade-off for what they’ve done.

It’s funny when the game’s not even playable, but hey $90 mount!

WoW community is why the game will never, ever improve.

They’ll pay anyways.

Usage of Argent Squire have a cooldown.

I’ll help blizz out designing the next store mount.

So it’s gonna be a 3 seater flying mount that’s built like the little zeppelin thing for beating zekvir, only absolutely freaking massive to obscure the floor (as a flex). Instead of an auction house or repair vendors though, this one just has a fully functioning summoning stone stuck in the middle of the balloon that you can activate at any time with the help of two npc passengers that come pre deployed on the mount. You can boot the npcs out to carry your friends per usual, and if you use static flying you can straight up summon people mid air and drop them to certain doom (for glory, obviously).

This mount will be summonable in raids, but not in m+ for obvious reasons.

Mount price 149.99 usd in store baseline, but if you recruit two friends to wow and reach the 3 month milestone together you can get the mount for 74.99 and it will apply to all three players in the friend group. But act fast, because this deal will only be available for people playing in season 1 of Midnight!

Blizzard told me to say sorry they want to read everyone’s thoughts on the brutosaur mount but they are too busy counting the cash from it atm…

Either make a mount with either a Reforger or Bank NPC, or give us a 10-seater Gilnean Stagecoach with a Rostrum customization that alters the Harness to have whatever of your Ground Mounts to pull it for you. Best of all, you could implement a Follower-like system for it called Caravanners, letting you assign any of your Mount NPCs to ride on the Stagecoach and offer up colorful commentary with each-other when traveling. Take it a step further and implement a Passive Buff that these Caravanners can provide when assignex to your Caravan and borrow from the Follower System used in WoD where you can find a large number of Followers from doing various Activities, Quests, Exploration, etc., but to set limits you can only have 9 Carqvanners active at any time. And have it all tied together into an Evergreen content where the Caravanners you collect aren’t just a one-off after the introductory Expansion is over, giving Players an option to find and recruit more Caravanners to your logbook with a wide variety of ways to go about collecting them ranging from doing straightforward quests to unlock them like doing the Suramar Storyline to get Rosaine the Harpist who will play Harp renditions of Zone Music, being a certain Race/Class/Profession Combo or playing as a Goblin and talk to your Gobber from the “Pack Hobgoblin” and ask him to ride with you where he’ll becomd a Bank NPC on hour Stagecoach. Or you can have Caravanner NPCs that need a secret finding community level of effort to go about discovering exists in the first place: like being a Dwarf Priest with maxed out Archaeology than going to Thelsamar and using “The Innkeepers’ Daughter” Hearthstone toy to summon Keelin Stonemeeper and help free her from her curse where she’ll join your Caravanners and offer you a 10% to your Hearthstone Cooldowns, or collecting The Postmaster Set from Stratholme and go to Culling of Stratholme to talk with Postmaster Malown in the past to help him deliver his mail to their still-living present day counterparts and then heading back to Stratholme and talking with Malowns’ ghost who after doing a short quest will break free of Stratholme and join as a Caravanner who will grant Players with an additional 7 days to claim your in-game Mail from the Mailbox.

Little things like that which’ll unlock a whole new way for playing the game.

Holy wall of text.

Here’s ChatGPT breaking that up into paragraphs:

Either make a mount with either a Reforger or Bank NPC, or give us a 10-seater Gilnean Stagecoach with a Rostrum customization that alters the Harness to have whatever of your Ground Mounts to pull it for you.

Best of all, you could implement a Follower-like system for it called Caravanners. This feature would let you assign any of your Mount NPCs to ride on the Stagecoach and provide colorful commentary with each other while traveling.

Take it a step further and implement a Passive Buff that these Caravanners can provide when assigned to your Caravan. You could borrow from the Follower System used in WoD, where you can find a large number of Followers through various activities, quests, exploration, etc. To set limits, you can only have 9 Caravanners active at any time.

Have it all tied together into evergreen content, where the Caravanners you collect aren’t just temporary after the introductory expansion is over. This setup would give players the option to find and recruit more Caravanners to your logbook through a wide variety of methods.

Players could collect Caravanners through straightforward quests, such as completing the Suramar Storyline to unlock Rosaine the Harpist, who would play harp renditions of zone music. Alternatively, you could have specific race/class/profession combinations that unlock additional Caravanners, like playing as a Goblin and speaking to your Gobber from the “Pack Hobgoblin” to ask him to ride with you, where he’ll become a Bank NPC on your Stagecoach.

Additionally, there could be Caravanner NPCs that require a secret-finding community level of effort to discover. For example, being a Dwarf Priest with maxed-out Archaeology and going to Thelsamar to use “The Innkeepers’ Daughter” Hearthstone toy to summon Keelin Stonemeeper could lead to freeing her from her curse, allowing her to join your Caravanners. She would then offer a 10% reduction to your Hearthstone cooldowns.

Another example could involve collecting The Postmaster Set from Stratholme and visiting Culling of Stratholme to talk with Postmaster Malown in the past. Helping him deliver his mail to their still-living present-day counterparts and then returning to Stratholme to speak with Malown’s ghost would allow you to complete a short quest that ultimately frees him, thus joining your Caravanners and granting players an additional 7 days to claim their in-game mail from the mailbox.

If it wont make the universe lag give me the NPC parade of stagecoaches, train of nonsense pulled by my ugliest mounts. Bring that the hell on.

It’s not just a steal, it’s a blessing. The perfect 20th anniversary shop mount. And while it’s not cheap, the value has to be counted in month and years to come. That’s the difference here. You don’t buy a regular mount, you buy THE utility mount.
