The History of Mounts in Game - WCmini Facts

- Heres a few things about how mounts use to work in their first forms. Each race got to ride their own racial mount, and had to buy special training to ride those mounts. Like Dwarfs needed to learn Ram riding to ride ram mounts, or Orcs needing wolf riding to ride wolfs. You could then purchase riding of other racial mounts if you managed to get exalted reputation with those races in patch 1.2. The original levels for mounts were level 40 for the 60% mount, and level 60 for the epic mounts, or the 100% speed mounts. When you bought a mount, You could use it as long as you were high enough level. And you used the mount from your bag. Mounts required a 3 second cast time to mount up, and dismounted you if you entered combat or touch water. Also the mounts themselves were expensive. Being able to actually buy the mounts at level if it was your first character and not an alt was pretty rare. The level 40 60% speed mount costed 100g, and the level 60 100% speed mount costed 1000gold. To adjust for inflation, getting 1000 gold in vanilla wow was almost like farming 500k gold in legion. If you were to compare the amount of time and effort it took to get that much gold to today. It was pretty common for people to just, not be able to afford one.

i still remember how it felt when i was running scarlet monastery on my first character and one of my party members traded me 100g when i mentioned in chat that i still couldn’t afford the lvl 40 mount. I think i was lvl 43 or 44 at the time, and it was one of those moments that really hooked me for the long run
When I hit level 40 on my first character I didn't know how much mounts cost, so I didn't have anywhere near enough gold saved up. I started farming random mobs for gold, and before I hit level 41 I found a Staff of Jordan which I sold on the AH for 400g. All of my friends who had to farm for days/weeks to save enough gold for mounts were pissed.
Had the same thing happen to me. I mentioned I was saving up for a mount and a friend just straight up gave it to me. I still remember it to this day.
My first run I got my mount at 48 lol
Carrot on a stick, never forget
3%+ mount speed :)
+ paladin pony buff
Add-on that auto equipped riding enchant, spurs and carrot
Carrot on a stick led to some amazing, long chases. Nothing was as rewarding as catching someone after a 5 min chase and polying them off their mount, leading to their death.
Dont forget Riding Crop
Engineering mounts!.... EVERYONE forgets the flying carpet from tailors!
That's what I was thinking - what about the flying carpet added in BC for tailors. Then two different carpets in Wrath of the Lich King, though those were just variations in color - a sort of pink/purple that you trained for initially and then the frosty blue color that you had to buy the pattern for and took special mats to craft.
Wrath also introduced the first mount you crafted for two people, but only on ground in the motorcycles. And the Stonedrake is harder to make than he indicates. You have to look for a special scroll in archaeology (still required) that only had a small chance of being in the urn artifact you found and it takes a while for the urn to be one of your artifacts. And its a BOP recipe, so there's no chance of you finding it on one of your toons that isn't trained in alchemy and mailing it to the one you have that is an alchemist and also no selling it on auction.
Tailors ONLY make BAGS for HOOGE GOLD BRUH
@@METerrell carpets wasnt introduced til wrath
The flying carpets were the only mounts you could double ride with the 2008 Blizzcon bear mount.
So you'd be riding the blizzcon bear (ground mount) which was flying on a carpet.
This was active in WotLK for like 1 patch before they ruined/fixed it.
@@erikaberg2157 was going to say...I played vanilla thru BC and don't remember the flying carpet 🤷♂️
because i watched this video i realized my aunt whose been playing wow since 2005 has one of the rare colour variation horses haha.
I remembered the brutal grind for Netherwing rep, for the TBC Nether drake mounts. That was 10 years ago......
Avantime still takes long enough to do, eggs are so hard to find
It was easier to just win an arena season and get the free one.
Did the rep grind on 2 toons before it became Account-wide as well =/
@@imasspeons Yea just be in the top 0.5 of the ladder, much easier.
@@DriftNick it is if you don't suck.
first 310 speed mount was ashes of al'ar and the armored pvp mounts from arena in BC. but that was before your time.
Brough Fox just about to say the same thing....
Brough Fox wasn't there also a nether drake that gave 310% speed?
I was gonna say!
Yeah I appreciate the effort but there were lots of factual errors sadly.
there was a few armored nether drakes that gave 310 speed. but those were pvp rewards
druids also got the 60% flying mount (flight form) for "free" (a few gold for the skill) AND at lvl 68 in bc^^
icki won i remeber that, i was so fucking excited. I flew around for a good 4 hours before i did a single quest
being able to do the netherstorm dungeons at level instead of at 70 was FeelsGoodMan
Used to be a huge quest too
nah i think u mean the quest for the epic flight form...the 60% version (lvl 68) didnt have a quest
Amethonys While technically at lvl your gear probably isn't good enough at 68
dident ashes of alar give 310% during TBC?
yes, it did
It did and so did some pvp mounts I think. I remember having it before they allowed you to train to get 310%
As well as PvP mounts in TBC.
Was about to say this, my IRL friend who played the mage Dmontanas showed me it.
AsbakNL Yes. Same as the TBC Arena mounts. When you got gladiator for the first 2 or 3 seasons this was the only way for a 310% speed.
I remember buying the Celestial Steed when it first came out and seeing so many others with it as well. I didn't know about the added benefits of it when I bought it, I just loved the way it looked and it is still one of my favorite mounts.
"Flyings mounts make you not have to worry about ganks."
Instant cast polymorph
I love playing your mini fact videos in the background when I'm getting to work or doing menial tasks. It's interesting information and I appreciate the effort you put into collecting and broadcasting a summarized version for each topic. I hope you're having a good holiday season. Keep On Keepin On.
Ah the warlock mount quest nostalgia hit me like a truck. It was my first character and since i got Dreadsteed i rarely used any other ground mount up until BFA. Best mount ever
310 speed is available since TBC with Phoenix mount. I know since I got one at the end of the expansion.
Gladiator Mount aswell!
Also gladiator mounts got it
I remember finally getting my cold weather flying in wrath on my Druid
And then flying as high as it would let me, and turning off flight form. Then remounting right before hitting the ground.
I don't know why, but it was highly amusing to me. Then again, I'm someone who finds healing to be fun, so maybe something's just off with me. Maybe it's the absolute power of deciding whether someone lived or died, and at any time, I could just choose to not remount.
Or something equally philosophical.
No, I also enjoy healing (gods, I'm in FFXIV now -- healing in FFXIV is insanely fun if you've never tried it) and did the exact same thing with my Druid. Also played on an RPPVP server and learned that you could actually switch to bear form like, a few feet from the ground while falling, and maul unsuspecting Alli players to death, heard it was quite "a thing" for a while. I think it was called "druid bombing".
Kudos on the video. I'm a confessed mount-a-holic and I appreciate your work on this very much. I would very much like to see another video covering all the quirks of various mounts such as the mounts with vendors and other variations. Thank you.
The people who didn't want flying in WOD were the same kind of people who would tell on you flipped off the teacher when they turned their back.
The level 40 mount for warlocks didn't require a long quest chain, it was one quest and you turned it in within five seconds of picking it up.
Wrong, It required you to fly out to the barrens so not 5 seconds and if you were undead you had to wait for the zep to take you to org then travel from there if you did not get the flight paths from leveling on eastern kingdoms then you have to run to the quest giver in the barrens because you had no mount yet so it would take over 20 minutes or more so not 5 seconds.
@@basillah7650 The quest was picked in the barrens and turned in immediately. It's doesn't matter how long you spent getting there, that time wasn't spent with the quest in your log so it doesn't count. End of story.
No you
n...no? The level 40 mount was completely free for locks, not even a material req
I think that's after patch but in the beginning at least for alliance maybe there was a quest line
@@MattSinz That's in later patches, in patch 1.1-1.4 it was different.
You actually got 310% mount on top of free flying as gladiator, not a 280% one.
Same goes for the al'ar mount, witch was so rare in TBC and WOTLK
Luunii Was it free ? Got a friend who had the S4 drake in his bag and still couldn’t use it even a few months into WotLK, because he didn’t have the riding skill up.
Didnt the system get changed in wotlk prepatch or smth?
I still love the sand stone drake. It's a "two person" flying mount, technically. Actually, you become the mount and someone rides you. Basically, this make you an intelligent, talking mount. Got a lot of fun out of that on RP realms.
I remember when the blizzard store said that the celestial steed was running low on stock.... a digital item is running out of stock... cheeky blizzard!
Ow btw, carrot on a stick :D Best trinket in game! :D
Starfals wasn't there a tbc trinket that increased mount speed also?
I’m mad I sold it looong time ago
not getting ganked while flying? ever run into a pyro mage while flying. Got killed a few times when i was afk or just stop trying to figure out where i needed to go.
In wolk I always kill people with my druid because flying form doesn't have cast time so I can just fly attack and repeated xd
Then they removed the power to dismount people from flying mounts
I ganked so many people flying in MoP including a lot of streamers (I was alliance on Tichondrius and almost every PvP streamer was horde on that server), would use a glider then soul swap all my dots onto people and as a aff lock with full heroic gear if they didn't land they were dead, tho even then if you couldn't remove the dots or heal you were dead anyway.
You definitely could be, people would mount up and fly under you in range and then dismount to hit you, and you had further to fall
Killing spree as a heroic geared rogue in icc says hi :)
One thing not touched upon was reputation. Back when BC came out, there was like a 200 gold discount on the epic flying mount if you were exalted with the faction. That was a HUGE deal and helped me get my epic flying well before i thought it could.
Great videos :) I still remember all those months farming the skyguard and ogri'la dailies to get the epic flying, then the Netherwing Drake dailies to get a drake back in BC
Really cool material brother! You got yourself a new sub bud, keep it up!
You forgot to mention that if you couldn't affort cold weather flying in wrath, you could actually get a special mount that could only fly 60%, no matter what skill you had, and you could actually mount this while running/falling etc :) They added this because a lot of people got stuck before Icecrown and Storm Peaks, because you could barely enter the main zone without flying, so there was no real convenient way to farm the gold either.
Mounts actually started out BOE in vanilla and where changed to BOP when they added armor. You could reduce the cost of your mount in vanilla by having PvP rank 3 and/or honored reputation with your faction. Rank 3 PvP and honored would reduce the cost of your mount by a combined 20%, 10% for each. In vanilla if you got to rank 11 you could also get a 100% PvP mount for very cheap. TBC had 310% mounts, ashes of alar was 310% and well as the gladiator mounts being 310%. There use to be items that you could equip before Wrath that would increase your mounted speed like the "carrot on a stick" trinket or the "riding crop" trinket. There was also enchants that you could get to your boots and gloves that would increase your riding skill. Paladins also got an aura in TBC that increased mount speed.
^ That should really be pinned. @hirumaredx
Yup, I didnt care for PvP but I did get my warrior to rank 3 for that perk =)
Sparkle Pony was my fathers gift to the entire (4) family playing WoW at the time. He got one for each of our accounts and it's still one of my favourites.
Cost - Cost - Cost
Costed is a synonym for 'valued', 'budgeted for', 'accounted for'.
e.g. "The plan isn’t fully costed and would require hundreds of millions in new revenues."
'Cost' is a nice simple verb which remains the same in all three forms.
It really doesn't need to be changed.
The Riding Turtle from the TCG was the first mount to be usable at level 1, not the Sea Turtle. I used to have it on a couple of my twinks.
yah I guess I made a mistake by calling the one of the turtles by name? What I meant was just turtle mounts in general, not specifically the sea turtle.
Ah no worries, wasn't bashing on the video. Just wanted to mention that in case you didn't know. :P
Na you made a mistake no need to get defensive when they're only pointing them out to help you
Since you started in wrath you will never understand why people were against flying mounts either pvp servers existed for pvp before battlegrounds even existed so they turned the pvp servers into pve you could not just go afk on a flying mount back then if you wanted to be safe while afk you either had to go back to zone that your faction controlled or log out if not you would log back in dead the game is called world of WARcraft after all the two sides are suppose to be fighting each other not just in battlegrounds.
The winterspring tiger(and venomhide ravasaur for that matter) were the only epic mounts that only required apprentice(60%) riding to use, so if you were willing to farm for it, you could have 100% without paying the 900g in vanilla. No one ever seems to mention that.
I remember _What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been_ and how I did spend a whole year working on it to get my first 310% Mount
I remember being 10 years old and working on my Epic Paladin mount. And I did it! 10 year old me was very happy.
Been playing since 1 week after launch. Have only ever seen one naked epic mount.
knowing you had to carry around your mount in your bag when not using it before, and how full my bags are today, i'm happy they changed that part.
I remember seeing my mum flying a sparkle pony when I was younger. At one point my entire family played wow before everyone but me dropped off. I just liked it because it was sparkly
I liked the video . Thought you would say something about Ashes of A'lar and his speed when you disused about BC Mounts
>costed
fucking triggered
>using greentext on youtube
I remember the mounts only dismounting when dazed however being dazed was much more common then it is now and skills that caused dazed instantly dismounted you, like concussion shot for hunters.
Thank god they made it so you can fly any expansion without the pathfinder granted the expansion was like 2 or more expansions behind current content.
Can't wait until they make flying without pathfinder available in ANY non current content.
I have PTSD going back to Draenor in Legion to do stuff without pathfinder.
You forgot the ‘mount that isn’t a mount’ mount from Warth.
The one you get in Storm Peaks if you don’t have a flying mount yet.
Timelost Proto Drake
Devin Campbell ive never done enough storm peaks, but thats wrong
@@devincampbell5007 Nope, people without flying could get a free 60% flying mount in stormpeaks that could only be used there.
Warlocks did get their level 40 mount for free, you literally just turned in a quest and got it, the epic mount was the hard one
I still remember how i got my first epic mount on my first toon (dwarf hunter) in vanilla. Manager to win the BoE alcor’s sunrazor dagger which i sold as soon as i got to IF, just enough to get the epic mount. Memories like this can reignite my love for the game even tho I know it will never feel/be the same again.
Your videos are so soothing. So far the best channel being the golden middle of all player bases.
I remember getting "What a Long, Strange Trip it's Been" guilty of getting my 310 this way
Why? That was a shitty long grind back in the day. 310% was just rewards
@@TheBlaert because spending 5k on a 30% mount speed increase back then seemed stupid (at least i think it was 5k, might have been 10k. i dont remember specifically). Waiting a year to complete all the achievements was worth it at the time. now all 20 of my alts have 310% mount speed cuz money just falls into your pocket.
@@BDCMatt sorry misread your op. Thought you meant you FELT guilty about getting it that way. Yeah it was handy just horribly long
Even today, in legion Pandaria is the slowest zone to level through? What are you talking about? Leveling 85-90 takes just over one zone if you don't do dungeons. Do the jade forest, then a few quests in the valley of four winds and you're moving on to dreanor.
I remembered making a dk, havin it run too the mailbox, only to fill my bags up with the store mounts and making my starter a bit harder xD
Thank you for this, Hirumaredx! Speaking as a player who joined during MoP, it's extremely interesting to know the history of what came before. Thank you!
Wowwikki would be a better source to be fair.
Some of this information is incorrect or just plain missing....
It's a good video from an entertaining point of view... but it's wrong on a lot of TBC stuff.
I love you Hiru
EDIT: 20 minutes long and you name it mini facts? I always want more Hiru but that's strange.
that's what I thought :D
You mean its only 20 minutes because I only covered basic stuff. It would have been a lot longer if it was a full history lol
hirumaredx Cover it allllllllllll. One video for each expansion!
The old Classic ways were the best, you really had to earn your mounts and it was iconic!
I stopped playing after Cataclysm came out, to me WotLK was the last WoW experience and I loved Classic WoW and Burning Crusade the most! Removing the talent trees was a big mistake by Blizzard, just to make character specialization more simple for dumb people! It's a shame really how dumbed down WoW became over the years and expansions... I'm really exited about WoW Classic, I hope it will restore the game at least 95% to it's former state!
Proudest moment I've ever had while playing was getting my warhorse on my pally in vanilla.
I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past hour or so. I feel like and alien looking back at a golden age long gone. All great videos, so far hehe! Keep it up :)
I miss old WoW..
Jskdjd Shzbsd legacy, i'm still in wrath
Soon...sooooon (Classic WoW)
classic private servers have been out for years, you have missed out.
Jskdjd Shzbsd Then go play on private servers. They work just fine
Hello there, Obvious Question!
I farmed several weeks to obtain my 100% speed mount in classic/vanilla WoW. Memories! Hearbreaking and beloved memories!
I rememver when i first bought flying mount in tbc. I called my brother (i was 13 he was like 8) come come ill buy a flying mount. We were in shock literally for the next 3 days after like 1 month it became normal. We were so amazed by flying mounts
"Store mounts are accepted now days and most players dont batt an eye when a new one is released."
Its still ass.
Paandaas because we don’t hold them to the standards of olde
Pretty sure Glad mounts in TBC were 310% not 280%
I used to feel like a fucking king when I got my first epic mount in bc.
I don't play anymore but I loved having mounts that you couldn't get anymore and then riding them around major cities.
You completely missed the Druid 'free' flying (+60%) in TBC.
I love your random mispronunciations.
They're rare drops, dont worry.
"Heh, the skies aren't so friendly with Almeda flying them! " - felt good to earn rep with the Sha'tari Skyguard:-)
I'm getting to the point where I enjoy watching videos about the old WoW more than playing modern WoW.
You missed the fact that Tauren used to not be able to ride a mount, and instead, they had plainsrunning where they’d run at mount speed
I think this was more of a beta feature, because in the live vanilla server they already had kodos.
and worgens
@@Carpatouille That ability was still added though, not sure it was quite mount speed, hard to remember it was very forgettable
I've played back in 2006 and i have no memories that such a thing existed back then, and i was playing undead. If it was ever added in vanilla, it must have been removed very early into the game.
@@Carpatouille I remember using it in TBC for the starting zone then never using it again, completely forgot it was even a thing and I don't think many people noticed it was removed either haha
"costed"
I remember farming adamantite ore for 2 weeks 24/7 in nagrand to afford the 5k gold riding skill ... still gives me nightmares heh
Can't believe Druid flight form in tbc was skipped. That was really a fun differentiator back then.
16:00 come on, it wasn't "just gankers". People had been annoyed with flying since it was introduced in TBC, you think gankers were bad before? now they can fly and come out of no where. At least with no flying you both have a chance to run away/catch people.
dang. no mentioned about the Champion's Treadblade/Warlord's Deathwheel and how they was part of a event.
Can new Horde members get Warlord's Deathwheel?
As far as i know, no. If you was unable to get it the first time it came out. You're out of luck. Only the Champion's Treadblade can be brought with gold. Blizz might change this later but who knows if and when that might be.
I hope they don't change it because I like having something others can't have
lol. Well thats their loss. They had a certain amount of time to get a free mount. :) (course I managed to get it myself but dont have the ally one... yet)
I guess what Blizzard might have meant by bring to the game was give players who log in time a promotion mount (can't earn those anymore can you?)
I left the game around a year into Lich King and seeing this video actually helps a lot to explain wtf happened regarding those....so thanks for that.
No cap, dragonriding is the best thing Blizzard's ever done since mounts were first introduced in game. Especially after multiple expansions that made you jump through hoops to even let you fly first. A new video revisiting this would be awesome.
Flying mounts. The thing that destroyed world pvp
Aivansamahelvetti world pvp is wack as shit anyways
How about we do
Annnyway?
Igor Lissowski no you can’t take over the world you’re part of the League of Nations
I remember how utterly slow the 60% flying mounts were. You tended to take flightpaths where possible but still, it was great to finally be able to fly
I always enjoy your content and appreciate it. The only critique of this video is the talk of not being able to fly in old content because you didn't play or are a new player. That's exactly the point if all the people that actually played when it was new had to do it the quitters and new people should have to do it. It's literally a right of passage.
do patherfinder or pay 5M gold? for the ppl who just wanna buy it?
Sadly....I bought gold back then...ill never do it again and I don't think anyone should go that route.
I remember using some Chinese gold site during BC, downloading the web page at the checkout, changing the decimal place for the PayPal transaction, re-opening it, and paying something like $5.50 for 5,000g instead of $55. Got that 280% mount doe.
i bought gold to finance my vanilla sulfuras and god i don't regret that at all. fuck spending all that time mining thoriuim in begging from transmute cooldowns.
lmao, straight up..
you get hacked? lol
Devin Campbell no. I believe it's more rewarding to get it the right way.
I could've sworn that the Netherwing Drake's were 310% speed in Burning Crusade? That was my main priority back then. I missed out on all raids and most high end dungeons from Vanilla to Wrath, but my proudest moment was doing the grind for the Netherwing Drake and getting it before Wrath hit. Seeing the Netherwing Drake mount on the back of the Burning Crusade game box was beyond exciting!
A 20 MINUTE VIDEO BY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE WOW TH-camRS, CHRISTMAS IS SAVE!!! THX Hiru!!!
at tbc you forgot 2 flying carpets from tailoring skill
yes it was added at early wotlk (3.0.2.8962) my bad
Literal wrath babby
Mount prices are actually the same price today as they were in TBC. It's just that inflation has made 5k gold a drop in the bucket. It took over a month of grinding to make 5k gold in TBC. In Legion, you can get more than that from 2 order hall missions that only take 100 order resources to do, and take about 8 hours. Click 2 buttons, wait 8 hours, get your 5k+ gold.
I got my 40 mount at 40 right away, but it took a few weeks to farm up the epic. It was a pretty cool feat. I played early enough where the pre armored mounts were around, I remember a mage in our guild had the albino raptor and he never traded it in, it was by far the coolest looking mount around
I kind of hate / love the new "No-fly" policy, I (as many others do) have a crapton of flying mounts, so whats the point of having them if I can't fly them in the new zones?
Top
What’s the point of Ground Mounts if you‘re not using them in flyable zones?
Dr. Florence Thats a bad comparison. You can use ground mounts, but not being able to use flying mounts is a different problem. Let me dumb it down for you. If you had a zone A and you could only use items X but not items Y, people with items Y will get upset because they could use them before. Plus you could say blizzard encourages you to buy / support them with buying a flying mount from their in-game shop. So when you buy an item you expect it to be fully functional, use all of its features, not half of them.
Top
That‘s incorrect, it‘s a valid comparison, since enabling flying mounts basically means no one is going to use their ground mounts. You know that‘s true, don‘t come at me with „b-b-but the COULD still use them“. They‘d no longer be the fastest traveling option, and that‘s what matters.
Secondly, if a flying mount is not allowed in certain areas, it is not „less functional“ all of a sudden. You can‘t mount inside, does that make all of your mounts less functional? Of course not.
Flying mounts make things a lot faster, but they ruin the exploration experience and world interaction. Flying should not be allowed in zones that were not designed with flying in mind, at least not while they‘re currently relevant.
@murcroadster It's called a time sink by allowing flying at the start of expansions people level and do quests faster meaning they run out of stuff to do and quit which is the real reason blizzard made you wait until around level cap to get it.
Good video, however you got a bunch of facts wrong :/
If by lame, you mean the greatest. Old school PVP was amazing.
Wrath killed WoW for me. Haven't touched it since.
Wrath really messed with WoW, you're right. I kinda see it as a different game nowadays. I play on Vanilla and TBC servers quiet frequently, but BfA and Legion are pretty good in their own right.
Great how? Most unbalanced classes ever been, cookie-cutter builds were a MUST, and there was nothing to do besides tedious tasks.
The only thing that made it the greatest, was that people were utter shit, there were no addons, and everything was new (because the game was new)
So many people have the most rose tinted glasses when it comes to vanilla, the game in itself was completely shit. It was the time that it existed in, that made it great.
@@UnderWatered1234 finding overpowered strategies is what makes games interesting.
PVP after Wrath was so fucking slow and boring. No reason to play at all.
@@imasspeons Ironically WOTLK is kept in high regard as the last GREAT expansion, looking back it was the most fun, lore wise and PVE/PVP too.
I have to say, I think I like the BC System of flying mounts very much. If you had a 60% flying mount, you could fly, yes, but it was faster to ride with 100% if you had the space. but to get over thinks you could fly, even though very slow. I like that. And that you have to really give something to be able to fly fast.
Oh, I remember getting the first epic warlock mount. I waited for a LONG timr because some of the quests required you to buy damned expensive things, and I didn't think it was worth it. However, if someone in your guild or friends had done it, they could help you, saving you a lot. I still remember the rush when I tamed it in the quest. And then later, grinding dailies for 4 months I think to get the epic flying mount for 5k. That was truly a whole new world.
You missed one big one that is coming in the next patch, They are making it so no flight requirement purchase needs to be made to fly for 1-90 zones to help with the new lvling system.
ew gross
wish we could go back to no flying ever
jonas wojtas and that is the reason why we can't have nice things
Then perhaps we can only have gliding
Garrosh is a Dreadlord
NatEbenClosbabii Garrosh is a dead lord
makes sense too lol
I knew I wasnt crazy! I was just recently telling my friend that palomino was my first epic mount. He said yeah i know, the one with armor, and I said no, without armor. He was trying to convince me that was lvl 40 and I know I had epic palomino, it was so memorable my first epic horsie. Now this video reminded me about the exchange we did. At that time wow was young, it wasnt cool to have old things, but new, and everyone wanted armored version, so everyone I know exchanged it. Maybe only people who quit game temporary and returned later still had it.
I might be the only one but I like that Blizz doesn't allow flying right away in new expansions.
I also like the Pathfinder 1 / 2 achievments.
I think it is a good way to "show" the people the new world and get to know the new reps etc.
“Costed” isn’t a word
That really annoyed me
Sorry
Costed IS a word, but is being used in the wrong context here.
If you were asked to analyse what a business project would set you back monetarily, you would 'cost' it, and the past tense+past participle of 'cost' is 'costed'.
Used correctly, the lvl 40 mount was 'costed' at 100g.

The main parts of Pathfinder that are bullshit are the rep requirements. Remove those and remove Suramar from Legion Loremaster (or get rid of all the rep-gating so you can finish the storyline without being knee-capped by Rep gates).
And it'd be fine.
Rep has no business being involved with flying. Between Loremaster and Explorer you saw literally EVERYTHING in the zone. That's all Blizzard said they wanted, so that's all that should be required.
(and no sneaky bullshit like needing to be exalted with a faction to finish their storyline which can only be done by grinding World Quests for a few weeks because each rep level only gives you a couple quests to do and most of the world quests are locked until you complete other parts of the story).
Draenors was complete bullshit though. They actually scrapped several daily quests that were supposed to make the rep requirements a tad bit more palatable and just said fuck it, let'em grind mobs for it and run ONE daily quest per day for a Month or two. CHA'CHING.
ZanathKariashi the legion flying was fine. World quests/ the 2 suramar dungeons and the nighthold. If you did all of those you’d be able to get exalted with the nightborne in like 3 weeks.
the legion was easy af but the draneor one was a bit harder for me
Ragnaros The Firelord it’s not about it being hard. It’s about it being an annoying and unnecessary addition. People who came back after Nighthold and Suramar have no incentive at all to go there other than flying mount, because Blizz has moved all the current content to Garbagus
+ZanathKariashi I easily disagree with you
I remember going to each race starting zone to get exalted just to buy their mounts, fun times
I was one of first players in the world with the Albino Drake, good times. Had the 50 mounts sitting in my bag day of the patch. Farmed runecloth for hella fortnights. Good times :-)
Im sorry but you can't make a a history vid when you started in wotlk. A lot of facts were wrong
He can do whatever he wants. It's his channel in the end.
You're very one-sided when it comes to WoW's "earn your flying through questing and achievements" system from WoD and Legion. This is, in my opinion, the best of both worlds; being able to experience the well-crafted world Blizzard has painstakingly made while at the same time offering convenience through flying when you've had time to appreciate what they've created.
I can kinda feel like you're shrugging off the first half, and would much rather just pay your biennial offering to the mount trainers to fly in a new zone immediately, which gives me a little insight as to what kind of WoW player you are.
if we'd only have to pay for flying again instead of earn it then it should be at least 500k
Exactly hahahah, Don't want World PvP? Join a PvE realm bro
Flying is a great convenience, and I love it in current WoW. There other things that Blizzard has done that screwed up the feeling of the game far worse than giving people flying.
+Subslime I take it the Darkmoon Island, lfr, lfg, and new pug groups that started in MoP are 3 of them on your list?
I started playing just before TBC came out and stopped playing in the middle of WOTLK. Bought a month subscription two weeks ago to try the game again.
Game has competely changed. Nobody talks to each other, instances are not fun anymore at low level because you get spawned in the instance and everybody keeps quiet. It only takes about 5 min to clear an instance as well. You don't need tactics anymore.
I always loved that pets had special abilities so each pet was different. It was also kinda cool to feed your pet.
The talent tree is completely gone. You just get abilities and every 15 levels or so you can choose a talent that doesn't affect gameplay all that much.
And I don't know what else. It is just a totally different game from when I played compared to now.
I remember being a dumb kid and thinking only hunters got mounts. Good times
Great video my dude, mounts in WoW have been an obsession of mine for years.
