Water Strider Discussion

so wait.

you rather buy water walking potions
then spend 40g at the angler vendor to buy the mount equipment?

they are free now. Well except for my time making them.

because you want the water strider to walk on water without the mount equipment, which again would make it better then all other mounts ever.

ok so again, you keep saying.

“I earned it, they removed it!”
they didnt, you earned it, and now you earned a mount equipment that costs only 40g from the vendor, while everyone else has to pay 20x that to a blacksmith.

you still have the mount, and now you have something even better then what you had before, water walking for ALL MOUNTS and its INFINITE no need to make/buy potions!

“Mount equipment is useless, i have been able to water walk since tbc”
So why are you complaining? what is even your problem then, you seem to be just making up stuff to be mad about.

“Im mad they removed water walking”
They didnt
“Mount equipment is useless”
how
“Cause i have been water walking since TBC”
So why are you mad they removed water walking from the mount? which they didnt

So on so forth.

I would like them to take the special away from the golem and make it mount equipment, it’s ugly makes horrible noise and I see the stupid thing everywhere. I would love to see the uproar when that happens. But hey they did not lose that ability they have it on everything now.

As it should be. It specifically was designed to be that way. I earned it. Anyone who wants to could have done so as well.

It’s amazing how Blizzard goes out of its way to make actual content unique to “first comers” but then goes and does something like this… SMH.

omfg you are dull.

  1. it takes 15 seconds to earn
  2. it is STILL DESIGNED THAT WAY, THEY STILL HAVE TO EARN IT, IT IS NOT SUDDENLY DELETED OR GONE AS YOU KEEP PUSHING, IT IS BETTER THEN IT USED TO BE.

you say “unique to first comers”
LITERALLY PEOPLE WHO DID THE GRIND GET A MOUNT EQUIPMENT FOR 40G, AS MUCH AS THEY WANT, WHILE ANYONE WHO DIDNT DO THE GRIND NEEDS TO SPEND UPWARDS OF 4000 TO 20,000 G ON THE AH, IF IT IS EVEN UP THERE PER CHARECTER.

holy bloody hell you are a snit.

You’re not any more effective in all caps.

Thanks for the discussion. I have nothing to add that I haven’t already said. And I managed to say all of it without once resorting to name-calling, unlike yourself.

I agre, no mounts should have special effects, as it causes an issue of “You are forced to use this mount”
what it should instead be is you do stuff to unlock equipment/buffs for ALL your mounts.

why the sky golem got to keep its, escapes me, but luckily it does not work with other equipment so it is still somewhat balanced.
but that is ONLY herbalisim, compared to water walking which in zones like kultiras makes the entire area so much easier to traverse… god its insane.

cause again i dont think you realise, they are not removing anything you worked for, they are making it BETTER FOR YOU!

For you maybe, but seeing a 10 ton elephant or a motorcycle running across water is just plain stupid. A water bug I could see a motorcycle no.

You mean like has been a thing since wotlk when literally every death knight and shaman could make any and all mounts walk across water, even those 10 ton elephants and mammoths and motorcycles.

also i love how you rather have immersion, then choice.

Well if we are going Immersion>customization and choice.

When you reach level 10 you choose a spec.
you can never respec, that is your spec for life, make a new charecter, cause you cant just go to a person for 2 minutes, pay some money, and suddenly get an entirely new life of training.

so screw your customization and choice to change what talents and spec you chose, cause immersion is the ONLY thing that matters.

You rather be limited to only 1 mount, for every day, for every patch, for every expansion.
then to have the choice of literally every mount you have earned?
Wow
I mean looking at your pitiful collection, i guess it makes sense, you dont really have any cool mounts to show off, so you want everyone else to have nothing to show off too.

If you didn’t do the grind you shouldn’t have it at all. Are you advocating makeing everything purchasable? No need to work for things. Should we make all rep and achievement rewards purchasable?

You dont have it.
if you dont do the grind, you dont have it.
its as simple as that.
you cant buy the mount, and you cant buy the cheap mount equipment unless you do the “grind”

For those who dont grind it, and dont earn it, they have to pay 20-50x more gold per charecter.
same as it was when the water strider first came out.
If you did the grind, you got the water strider, a mount that for a single upfront cost gave you infinite water walking.
however for those who didnt want to do the grind, they could just farm/buy water walking potions and get the same effect.

or just play shaman/deathknight

Bah, it’s not worth arguing.

Nothing has changed mate, admit it.

Grind the water strider for an upfront time+gold cost to get infinite water walking, overall paying less, however needing to do a grind.

or

dont do it, and have to pay a MASSIVE amount of gold to water walk.

back then it was the mount or water pots

not its the angler equipment or the blacksmith equipment.

nothing has changed really.
other then the fact that while the people who bought potions got the luxury to ride ANY MOUNT THEY WANTED.
those who grinded for water walking were forced to ride a bug.

so really, your the one who wants people to be able to just purchase stuff.

cause those who just purchased water walking got the choice to use any mount they wanted.
while those who grinded water walking were forced to use a bug. lame.

THIS.

If you didn’t do the cloak quest, you can’t now, it’s gone and so is the humongous quest line that led to it.

If you didn’t do the ring quest, you can’t now. It’s gone and so is the equally humongous quest line that led to it.

If you didn’t play Legion when new you don’t have what was the very heart of your character’s power (since you got no new abilities or talents) – your artifact weapon.

If you didn’t do the Mage Tower when available, it’s gone now and with it the rewards.

Before the mount change, if you didn’t grind Angler’s rep and get the water strider – you still could have at any time.

And since, as someone pointed out, DKs and Shaman could provide water walking ability, it’s not as if it was completely unavailable to players who did not have water striders.

i love how you talk about things being in the game and then removed but then get to the water strider and its not even slightly close to the same, you have no point, and are just using a bunch of buzz words.

You can still get the angler rep, and get the water strider, that HAS NOT CHANGED.
stop making up stuff that is has.

Possibly the best post in this thread.

Yet here you are crying wolf about something being removed.
that wasnt removed, it was improved in every way.

you still get the mount from anglers and no where else
you still get cheap water walking from the anglers and no where else

nobody needs water walking on all their mounts.

just like we don’t need all our mounts to fly, and we don’t need all our mounts to swim under water.

those who wanted water walking mounts, went out and got them.
…and that was negated, by giving everyone access to water walking.

i was “gifted” maybe 6 or 7.
i currently have an additional 11 or 12 max level characters which need to pay for it if they want it.
(along with all my lowbie alts)

we earned it, and now we have to pay for it if we want to use it… while all the people who didn’t earn it, now get access to it.
