Unarmored Mounts Megathread 2.0

Mergons tell me how unarmored mounts being in the game is a change from vanilla? Also why should we accept blizz telling us they know best and that we shouldn’t be able to grind to 60 to get them and that if we miss out it would hurt our feelings too bad and its best for us for them to not even be in the game. To your undead horse issue who cares if the undead don’t have unarmored versions the horde doesnt get a wintersaber either. Its not a big deal.

Because this isn’t the “Definitive Edition” or some sort of Remastered version. Its a museum replica of the original game.

Yeah it does because you’ve been claiming to know something for your last 100 posts and it shows you dont know what your talking about.

It’s definitive by nature. They aren’t trying to replicate the entire timeline of Vanilla. They aren’t going to start without the RoD questline and add it in at the right patch. They aren’t going to do The Spirit of Competition again, as there’s not going to be a 2008 Beijing Olympics in 2020. So they have to decide what is and what is not supposed to be in the Classic “spin” of Vanilla. It does not make sense to put removed content into that. The Vanilla devs didn’t want it in the game.

You tried way too hard on that one. I see what you were going for, but you over shot and went full epic fail. Plus one for effort though.

Is classic an authentic experience really vakul? Or is it just pretty close? I dont really think the color of some random guys kodo will be the thing people say is inauthentic about classic wow. Do you?

That was The Burning Crusade, so I wouldn’t expect an Olympics thing in Classic.

However, they are using the 1.12 systems and progressively releasing content how it changed over the course of 2 years. So there’s no reason they couldn’t add the mounts to the Vendor, then remove them again at CP2 or CP3. Because content is being changed, while systems are not. And this is content.

Sorry, I meant to say Test of Honor, which was in 2005 and awarded a tabard you can’t get in Classic.

That content is meant to stall progression. It is not meant to gate or add limited time spans of life for deprecated items.

It’s not a change per se to have them in like they were, during Phase 1 and out in phase 2 or 3, I don’t know the exact time.

I’m trying to argue to the point of making sense of blizz point on the whole matter to not incluse them because

I agree the reason they gave made me kind of upset too, but I’m trying to think with a bit more reason than that here.

and yet the level of effort to do it in reverse is the same. The items and textures are literally still in retail.

Which just goes to show how against them they are. They have them ready. It would be as simply as adding them to a table in a DB somewhere. That’s how against adding them to Classic they are.

So If we go by what we know from blizz handeling the project.

They want to go with a complete and unchanging version for classic.

With the exception being gated content and witholding some items for later release.

Does having these mounts in for a short period of time fit in this picture?

For the record I will be hardcore leveling part of a hardcore guild from a Pserver and not at all against it, However I do want to argue with reason and not with feelings.

But how many in the community against it?

Its a simple change, and its not like its a massive infrastructure shift like changing Layering. It doesn’t solve any problems and it doesn’t introduce any problems.

If its easy to do, makes things more Vanilla, and no-one is actually against it, why can’t we lobby Blizzard?

I got both Unarmored horses on ND before 1.4 And I know the feeling of prestige they bring with them, when u have people asking where u got those mounts and u tell them that they aren’t obtainable anymore except for a very high price from some people having them on bank alts.

I’m note sure if they changed it later to BoP instead of BoE. Because then bringing in these older mounts would they have to change that too?

Same for the cloth–> rep vendors… The nthose would have to be booted fro mthe game too during that period.

You’re putting words in their mouths here. For all we know the debate about them on the forums has reignited conversations at Blizz about it. They’ve certainly not stepped in on these threads to halt the discussion with a definitive statement since that paltry reasoning about rushing was offered.

Then leave them in for ever leave it be. I dont think a mount skin is what would be the thing that break classics back and makes it unvanilla. There are already too many changes to say that bro.

IDK, but I can tell you Blizzard has more resources to find out than we do.

I’m asking, why oppose it? Are you against these mounts yourself?

I wrote several threads about Transmog && WoW Token && other changes, as I am in favor of changes. No blue came in and said “no we will never do this” or “we’re discussing this again”. It’s all just speculation.
