Because casuals will now get a mount after 2 months instead of 3 months - whereas nolifers get it Thursday morning instead of evening when they started leveling Tuesday.

Not that I care, means my alts will get them sooner as well.

then why the pointless QQ?

omg whats up with all the "casual" hate? im a hardcore raider and i dont get it.

[Serro]

Huh, I like most of the changes. I don't really see whats wrong with getting mounts at level 30... It's hardly gamebreaking, and it'll make those levels to 70/80 faster for my alts.

Oh, and casual hating is sooo 2.4.1... yeah...

[Thistledown]

Locks whining about the curse change is laughable. You are already up in the top 2 DPS at raids or at least you should be during most encounters so this change wont make raidleaders to change the raidsetup.

"the first positive patch in 2 years" eh ?
You have been buffed in every single patch since the release of AQ in preTBC.

Mounts at 30 is only a good thing. What on earth have casueals to do with anything in this change ?

[Upgrayedd]

wow they are really screwing rogues over this patch.

[amnith]

The fact that they change mounts to 30 is, in my opinion, a good move. Running through God forsaken places like Desolace on foot is, well, not particularily appealing. Thus I am usually avoiding levelling in that zone. With lowered level requirement for mount, that place again sounds appealing.

[Damz]

The Mount change is great. As mentioned Desolace nded up being Desolace as the zone is so large and it took ages to get stuff done. It'll breath life back into the Zone.

Should enable new players to lvl quicker as well which ofc is what Blizzard want with the next expansion on the horizon.

Yeah nothing I don't think lvl30 is too early even. I usualy skip Wetlands on my alts as well just because the zone is so big & it's a pain to quest in it without a mount. Also having a mount while lvling through STV will be a huge + again. Nothing to do with casuals this change, but everything to do with getting people boosting through the most unintresting part of this game (also known as lvling) as quickly as possible.

And for those guys actualy whining about this warlock change, WTF? :/ . Some guilds were taking 5 warlocks to Kil'jaeden. Obviously because from now on you can get your curses up with just 2 warlocks people are gonna dump the other 3 because they are totaly useless... especialy since Nether Protection is getting buffed again. Honestly, warlocks have nothing to complain about.
And looking ahead for WotLK and how about you probably won't get more then 2 raidspots... isn't that a bit too early yet? + you'll have 10 classes for 25 raidspots. That means half of the classes will only have 2 ppl in the raid... or wait who am I kidding really? we will still take 5 shamans >.>

you joking right? i can remind you of coefficients of curses reviewed in first patches of tbc. Or the synergy between shadowbolts and shadow vulnerability reduced, amount of damage dealth by drain life reduced etc etc etc

I can imagine the days in naxx when 40 men raids only brought 1 lock for coe and 9 mages.


what about the bear? wasn't it meant to be special the ZA bear? it seems it won't be anymore .... just the spectral tiger left now as rare mount.

[AK47]

Lot of nice things.

[Tuam]

Sooo...

my macro will stop working, thats annoying.

Since I assume:
#show Chain Heal(rank 5)
/cast [target=mouseover] Chain Heal(rank 5);
/equip Totem of Healing Rains

will stop working. That's annoying.

Curse of Shadows: This spell has been removed.
Curse of Elements: This spell now applies to Arcane and Shadow damage, as well as Frost and Fire.

I think I orgasmed a little bit reading this. No longer do I have to rant about locks past the first using doom instead of elements even with 3 mages, a boomkin, and an elemental shaman in the raid.

First of all, it's a different bear. This one doesn't have all the troll trimmings all over it.

Secondly, as far as I can tell, this one is only available to people who purchase Trading Card Game packs and find the rare bear loot card in one of them. So it's not like this thing will be available to everyone, is it, since not many people will be buying the card game packs just for a single mount card.

And one more thing. I'd say the Phoenix mount off Kael'thas in Tempest Keep and the scarab lord mount are pretty damn rare, wouldn't you say?

[adrenalize]

This has got to be one of the most hostile communities I have ever come accross. Everything is a nerf, everything favours casuals, Raiders get all the goodies, theres no content, calss x has been nerfed and is no longer any use to anyone and should be deleted for the sake of fairness to the people who have played one.

It's just ridiculous that people are crying over the mount change, Its been THREE YEARS since the game was released, most of the people you see running about at lower levels are alts, sometimes third or forth. This change benifits everyone, wether they like it or not.

Also, just because somebody does not raid, it doesn't make them casual. I know people who have put more time into there game, there charectars and just exploring in general, who have never stepped foot in anything bigger then 5 mans, but have more played time then your most hardcore raider. There is much more to this game then raiding, and the sooner people learn that and stop the QQ the better.

[Onesimus]

One thing that I noticed was that Hunter Aspects no longer drop when flying on a flight plan. They also only drop when riding on a normal mount when changing zones.

[priestvito]

Back to something important - looks like green gems are still not dropping off mining.

Edit: Maybe they are working and I'm just unlucky after 30 minutes of mining. A couple people said they've gotten some.

Certainly bad luck. Keep us informed ?

[koenigsegg]

lol, people whine that mount level get lowered. Really, get a life. I can understand the whine about taking away attunements for SSC/TK/MH/BT etc. But mounts? I would not even care if they could use it from level 1 even.
