Who's excited about Mount Equipment?

Absolutely no one.

Another failing decision in a failed philosophy of taking things away and making players “earn” them back as added content.

Seriously considering calling it quits until August.

Excited… not so much… but I do like the idea.

I like that my strider can walk on water and my absorbs keep me from being dazed, but not for long because “new stuff”.

I’m excited. I can water walk with any mount now. :grinning:

I personally agree with the OP…this is a horrible idea. All it’s going to be used for is an easy button for Blizz to take away things during leveling (can’t use equipment before level 100 so 1-40 no WW) and during new zones. I’m 100% sure that all future versions of pathfinder will include disabling the mount equipment until you’ve completed part 1.

Like a lot of their decisions lately…

It is in interesting idea that they seem to be dead set on implementing in the most annoying, frustrating, and tedious way possible

What are the odds they remove flight but reintroduce it as equipment locked behind another rep grind?

I’m excited for classic.

And then have the audacity to put a new flying mount on the shop.

You think you can, but you can’t.

PS. You always could… until the next patch.

My Dune Scavenger Hyena or whatever it’s called always sunk. It was never able to walk on water. :frowning:

That’s what Water Walking potions, Shamans and DKs are for.

The day I can drag that silly bug off my bars will be a good day. I welcome this change.

The system would be fine, if they didn’t feel the need to nerf anything similar to these items to make them seem needed.

They should’ve just made mount classes. This is too easily taken away from us.

I’m tired of Blizz going backwards and forcing us into their specific way of playing.

Next, I’ll be walking through every expansion up until I get Pathfinder to unlock my mounts.

I actually use my fish more than the bug to be honest. I see them very high on the chopping block list.

Meanwhile at blizz hq:

We stopped them from walking on water, now they’re swimming under it, what do we do?

“Well mounts with wings forget how to fly every expansion, maybe the fish forget how to swim… 75% movement speed reduction, can not be used in water, and the breath bar depletes 3x faster while mounted”

PERFECT! We can add items that allow you to pay gold to get ONE function you already had back.

If it’s a per mount slot, it would be situationally interesting.

If they include a “second seat” mount equipment item, I’d opt for this on another flying mount that gave me some variety – now, I use the x53 Rocket when questing with a friend. To be able to add another seat to WHATEVER other flying mount would be nice.

But. BUT. If the Mount Equipment slot is on your character sheet (bad enough) or shared account ME on the mount window (worst case) that is added to all mounts you hop on, then the concept will be useless to me.

I’ll have to add water walking to something to replace the nerfed water mosquito. If the latter is the case (shared slot on mount window) then the ME slot will be just an “undo the nerf” mechanism for all of my characters, as opposed to a strategically useful concept (yeh, like that’s going to happen in the current day World of Warcraft developer cycle).

this doesnt really make sense, though. giving water walking to other mounts via equipment? cool, go for it. taking away existing abilities and making us re-earn them, and calling it new content? give me a break.

i think adding 2nd seats to any mount would be logistically difficult due to the models themselves.

After the news about absorbs no longer work, to make this work? They can shove this garbage where it came from. I am so tired of taking away QOL to make an item more appealing.
