Pretty sure that purchasing the thundering onyx serpent won't count as credit for Going To Need A Bigger Bag....
Only one mount from Zandalari Harbringer?
I don't care about about this event at all. If they couldn't make it work with my character that I've played for years then they shouldn't have done it to begin with. I'm so sick of what they're doing with this game. Stop using our sub money on things I can't even f*cking access in the game I'm paying for.
I managed to storm the Throne of Thunder to get both of their mounts, along with freeing myself from that dreadful "Cult of Huolon" along with getting Alani's Mount and all of the Direhorns from the Zandalari two years ago. I think I can hold out long enough to get Nalak, the Sha of Anger, and Galleons' Mounts through the normal drop method and then zerg the Raids.Rather save up my Bronze for more important stuff that way...
Everyone complaining about how "easy" it is to get these Mounts now are probably NOT familiar with a word called... Math!1- "Limited Timed Event" (aka Blizz going full FOMO mode) 👎2- Cost of these Mounts alone 😮3- Some Players actually having a real life... 🤗Yup, when you do the math, it certainly looks like very easy and fast to get your hands on all those rare drops.
so all years of collection gone to the wind! lol blizzard so so smart to collect money!
Just saying... Maybe Alani is so expensive BECAUSE people actively sell her for gold. What happens if they drop it to 10k bronze for the mount? Goblins are gonna buy as many as they can and sell them. I think blizzard is trying to nerf this as a gold making opportunity and make it more about cosmetics while leveling and I for one, am TOTALLY fine with the hardest to get mounts NOT costing 50k because THAT would be the real pain. As it is, I need like 372,000 bronze for all the mounts I don't have which is a lot and part of that is hating 1% drop rates with a flaming passion but like, I'm not gonna fume and fuss over Blizzard literally giving us a golden opportunity to collect these mounts even if it seems like a lot of work. Prayers that things can be sold for more than a few bronze and maybe they'll give us access to the original phoenixes some day.Ironically, the night before they announced this I was yelling about slime cat being re-released already and how they should give us back the phoenixes instead. Your move Blizzard; give us eggs!
Blizzard is all over the place with their decision making this expansion. I think this event sounds awesome and I’m psyched for it, but I also dislike FOMO and if all of this stuff is really limited time this is introducing A LOT of new FOMO into the game, but at this point you can’t tell what Blizzard is going to do. On one hand they introduce a new holiday mount with a low drop chance, something people have complained about recently, and then with this they’re like “don’t worry about those 1% mythic drop mounts, just buy it here instead.” Then another day they make a statement saying AOTC mounts won’t return, and then follow up with “But you can earn Slime Cat again in this next fated season.” People were hoping for the legendary cloak again and they said “naw sorry” but then they’re like “Here, have a bunch of old TCG loot on Twitch, and we’re going to bring back a bunch of removed items and crafted gear that was removed from the game years ago in Cataclysm.”I’m not sure what may possibly return in the future and what is off the table, because it seems so random and Blizz doesn’t really communicate their decisions for it.
Thank GOD the two most desirable new mounts (the Phoenix recolor and the golden Astral serpent) are both from relatively easy achievements. I was worried that the Phoenix might be gated behind doing challenge mode or equivalent, like how the original four Pandaria Phoenixes were.
I'm thankful none of these are locked behind heroic raid kills or anything group relatedFarming these solo will be significantly more fun for me
Feels like they are giving them away like candies, doesn't it?
