Hopefully it'll get a little more work...

lol, that thing cracks me up. I agree, I hope it gets some real work.

Side note: I still wish Paladins and Warlocks got a class flying mount. Maybe a Pegasus and a Nightmare. Would have been cool ...

Yeah def could use ALOT more detail, looks like they just stripped the feathers and skin of the normal Gryphon. Plain Wrong!

I can't stop laughing that thing is SOOOOOOO ugly. I think I'll stick with the normal one unless they do some serious work. For petes sake at least give the thing some armour... I mean Come on Blizzard thats just lame as it stands.

I don't even know why they released the damn thing in this push... it looks absolutely god-awful, part of being a DK is attitude and appearance and that thing completely divests you of both. You could be carrying all the Legendaries you want, riding that piece of crap shoves you onto the ****** table in the canteen.

Eurgh.

You're all wrong, this is the most awesome mount since the pheonix. Anyone who saw these flying around kara and didn't want one is someone without a soul.

There's been a huge push in the last week about DKs getting a flying mount like they got a normal mount.

Guess Blizz finally gave in.

I've read very interesting things about that Mount. You can ride it without epic riding skill, but there's a kicker; it costs 940g.

Apparently, and I actually cant remember which website I got this from so apologies in advance, if you have epic riding skill the mount upgrades itself to a 280% flying mount; without it, it reverts to a 100% flying mount, the fastest non-epic in the game.

If that is true, I dont care what it looks like. Having a mount that costs a reasonable amount and doesnt require me to 'air-swim' at 60% is all I want really.

Epic flying mounts are reasonable costs.

A little more work? The artwork on the thing make the April Fools Atari game look high tech. That cannot possibly be work from the artists at Blizzard, or if it is then someone needs to get fired. It's not just ugly, it's unprofessional.

Let's hope it's just one of the many beta jokes/placeholders and will get changed so something presentable.

Uh...don't normal non-epic mounts cost that? I don't know seeing as my only 70's a druid.

The mount is deathknight only and costs about 950G. Also requires 300 riding skill.


I heard that you could get it with 225 flying and when you get 300 it's speed increases. Was this changed?

It requires 225; it's speed will go up when you get 300.

Normal flying mounts do not cost 940g, the riding skill costs that much but the mount is very cheap.

Currently, the DK skill AND mount cost almost 1k each. The compensation being it is a 100% mount at 225 skill, and a 270% mount at 300 skill.

I'm still waiting for a Black Hawk chopper for my Rogue, stealth out the window but hey.

The release of that as a mount has only boosted my hopes that Blizzard will release more stupidly unserious mounts!

Adieu.

Srsly want my gddmn polar bear right fcking nao.

Steed sucks balls. Looks like a...bird skeleton. Whatever. Needs armour and glowing blue eyes.

And a speed nerf. DKs having an inherently faster mount than all other classes is just favouritism.

1. DK's flight mount is the same speed as the others.
2. If you mean the talent where they go faster when mounted, hunters have that too in the expac, not to mention crusader aura of Paladins
3. Having something different or original isn't favoratism. OMG Pallies/Locks get free mounts! Druids get flight form! Shamen get Ghost wolf!

Isn't the DK one supposed to be 100% though for the non-epic flight speed? Or has that been changed? Normal mounts are 60%.

I agree, based on the things Micros pointed out, it isn't exactly "favoritism", but just wanted to point out they are indeed faster (again, unless this was changed and I didn't read about it yet). It's a perk of the class I guess you could say.
