Unarmored Mounts Megathread 2.0

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion
636

I think what the community needs to acknowledge is the position we put put Blizzard Classic Team in when we make demands on topics such as this. There is no situation here where Blizzard doesn’t lose. 80% of the player base doesn’t care in the slightest. I do not care, but I know players who do, greatly. The people who only want the prestige of the original epic mounts will likely overlap heavily with that player base looking to race to 60 anyway. So, there really isn’t any winning here, for Blizz, when catering to these folks.

Also note, at no point is any option available to Blizzard going to be Vanilla-like. The reason why the mounts had prestige is due to them being pulled. No one knew it was going to happen. The fact that everyone does, means the experience is inherently unoriginal in regards to these mounts.

I think Blizzard will cause the most net approval, among the player base, by simply adding the original mount variants to the mount vendors and having them available during the entire run of Classic. It’s a trivial fix. The item #s exist in the 1.12 client. I’m sure they do for 1.13 as well. Most players won’t care about this, and most that do, will be pleased. Those that would be upset will be racing to 60 anyway, for other reasons, and have many other available prestige items that do not result in many more players racing through the content that would otherwise pace themselves.

When everyone is a special snowflake, no one is.

Having things to work towards is what makes the time and commitment worthwhile, I was mistaken thinking the blue post said 5.5 weeks, but its actually 5.5 MONTHS. This really allows anyone on the Classic hype train an easy shot at these mounts. Players that trickle in post 4 months of launch are the ones that will lose out, but who is losing here? The Video Game, video games should be play to win, if you can’t lose, you can’t win.

You are right, them removing them without notice is why they are so prestigious. I loved, and played the Your post contains a word that’s not allowed: $hit out of this game a decade+ ago. When I saw a Nightelf in Ironforge on an unarmored cat, I was like wow this guy is a boss, and he’s been one since the beginning. Not ever did I think, say, or cry its not fair I can’t have one.(Until now lol)

What I want, and many others returning to Classic is to do things we didn’t have the chance to do. I only set foot inside naxx to farm trash, and a pseudo-pug Anub’rekan and Patchwerk kill. I’m not sure if I’ll be playing hardcore enough to be in a Naxx progression guild, but maybe I have a shot at a Naxx clearing guild further down the line. I’m perfectly ok with this level of raid progression.

I know I’ll be playing day one for classic, and these mounts would be an awesome goal to work towards for many, albeit much easier then I was initially thinking if they were implemented for 5.5 months.

Shout Out to the funniest guild member I ever knew, Paydin-Azgalor < Righteous Dawn > “If you look cool, you are cool.” He had an unarmored mount.

World of Warcraft is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for blood and gore, crude humor, mild language, suggestive themes, and use of alcohol and violence. Crybabies can’t handle the S word on the forums? lol

Blizz proved with the eu german french servers they can go back on there words.

They should just do it as it was.

Make these mount available for the time they were there in vanilla, is that phase 1 - 2 or 1 - 3.

And remove them afterwards. Let those that put the time and effort in it to grind to the levels + gold in a short amount of time get what they deserve and what is rightfully CLASSIC :racehorse:

Believe me, the report system on these forums is a BILLION times worse than the one in the game. A CM will temp ban you for being rude to someone who is blatantly and obviously providing false information in an attempt to troll people because… the CMs don’t play the game or understand it to the extent that even a casual player would.

Disrespectful talk of that nature and attacks aimed against CM’s may lead to yet another forum vacation.

Given the length of your last forum vacation, could your next one extend until or beyond the Classic release date?

I couldn’t care less honestly, I’ve dealt with enough GMs and CMs to realize that their expertise in regard to the game is limited to customer service. For example… a Gm that doesn’t know what TLPD means… or what the time lost Proto drake is.

I wonder how well versed in the lore of the game they are… hmmmmm

Well it’s just true that they can’r discern trolls from normal or that they just don’t care enough to do so and just follow the rules.

Which is really why these forums are plagued with trolls, because they are given a podium.

I have had this manny times in the beginning, were a troll would bait me into getting triggerd, then me reacting a bit out of proportion and BAM banned. While it would be obvious to anyone they were there for nothing but that.

It made me do the only thing I feel i can do to trolls and that is troll back until the thread is a pile of :poop:

If it was so obvious that they were trolling, why bite and give tgem what they want? Why overreact and open yourself up for a forum vacation?

Disagreement does not equal trolling, BTW.

He realized after the fact, was a learning experience.

I legit don’t think you are trolling, but more or less are on the other side of the fence just to be spiteful. You haven’t given a reason as to why unarmored mounts would ruin the game. You have used words such as “unauthentic” without reasoning other then blizz said so.

No unarmored mounts = unauthentic.

First, I don’t recall saying that the umarmored mounts would ruin the game. I’ve said that those mounts not being sold by vendors is consistent with 1.12, which is the foundation for Classic.

Secondly, “ruin the game” is subjective. What one person thinks will “ruin the game”, another person might think will “save the game” or extend It’s life.

Fair point, I think you’ve received backlash due to that point being inconsistent with why blizzard is not putting them in. If 1.12 is the foundation for classic, by that reasoning all 1.12 content would be available in August.

Naxx would be in eastern plaguelands, The gates of AQ would be available to work towards and reward the most no life player on your server with black AQ bug mount.

There are good reasons as to why they are doing phases and releasing things as they did in Vanilla, 1.12 is the FOUNDATION, like you said… they have said 1.12 is how they and most view to be the best Vanilla platform to run off of. I’m not sure that anyone is arguing that.

They are trying to recreate as much as possible an authentic vanilla experience, and their reasoning for not putting the unarmored mounts in has 0 relevance to an authentic vanilla experience. That’s where you and blizz are receiving backlash.

Yep. I called out the trolls for liking their own posts with a dozen characters and I was the one who got suspended. Absolutely brilliant CM’s.
