    The mount changes next patch are going to be redonkulous for alts.
    Spoiler:
    Flying mounts at 60!? 100% speed at 40? Delicious.

    I just read this and it is awesome. I almost want to stop leveling my alts just so they can ride fast.

    60% at 20 is nice because that's when you usually wrap up Ghostlands or whatever, and you have to go pick up a bunch of flight points to continue.

    Also the faction discount means almost everyone can save 15% on epic flying, a cool 750Gg.

    I wonder did they buff Ahune's level? or did they leave him the same? I know some of his loot is worthless to people at 80. I would like to get the tabards on my mage, hunter, priest and paladin but they are not 80

    Other than that and the torch juggling I think I can get the title on my mage fairly easily

    150% flying speed too. That's pretty awesome. I'll wait to buy the skills on my 75 mage till the patch comes. My 51 priest won't feel like a fucking chore leveling now with 100% speed.

    I skimmed through and missed that change. Normal flying won't be nearly as much a kick in the nuts after getting used to epic flying now.

    Also Outland is going to take about 5 minutes to finish now.

  • DranythDranyth Surf ColoradoRegistered User regular
    Yeah, definitely wasn't expecting that. Pretty neat... might come in handy if I do end up leveling the druid I started in preparation of 3.2 model changes...

  • reVersereVerse The shadow's come to stay Registered User regular
    Those are the best changes ever. Gonna make leveling alts sooooo much easier.

    And man, look at those prices. 5g for regular mount and training, 60g for epic.

  • WassermeloneWassermelone Registered User regular
    Yeah the changes are amazing. Its fucking sad that I won't see the see the near 1200g I JUST spent for two chars that just hit 60 :O

    1.5 second mount times?

    160% speed flying mounts at 60?

    100% at 40?

    I resent this mount change because it happens after I quit the game.

    And fuck man it's like they're giving them away now, what the fuck.

    Yeah, that's a big one right there. The difference in speed between normal flying and epic flying was a little absurd.

    Time rots everything. Even hope.

    Well, in all fairness, that's how it should be. Sure, when the game started mounts were a big thing and the epic mount was a huuuuge status symbol, but it hasn't been that way for years. I don't want to earn a mount, I've earned mounts on countless alts over the years. Just give them to me, gosh nabbit.

  • pablo_pricepablo_price Registered User regular
    honestly, with all the changes they've made to quests and required xp, you earn a lot less gold while leveling now.
    my current alt is blazing through the content so fast that she might not have the gold to train skills if I wasn't funneling cash to her.

    outland is gonna be an utter cakewalk now though.

    I have the opposite experience. It seems like leveling alts makes me money. I put it down to crafting and judiciously AHing everything that's worth it.

    On the one hand, I'm a little bummed because by waiting a while I could've saved a bunch of money on my rogue. On the other hand, holy shit awesome because I get altitis often and in a bad way.

  • NerdgasmicNerdgasmic __BANNED USERS regular
    I'm the tiniest bit upset because I spent about 100g that I could have put towards Expert Riding into a frivolous Home City mount for my DK.

    I wonder if they're going to adjust the cost of the DK flying mount? With regular flying available at 60 now, the price tag seems steep. What is it, 950g or something?

  • NerdgasmicNerdgasmic __BANNED USERS regular
    It's technically 1000g, but the vendor is affiliated with the Knights of the Ebon Blade, and I don't think DKs can have that little rep with them.

    The discount for Friendly reputation is 5%, so a level 60 DK would need to pay 950g, yes.

    Man, I almost feel bad because my warrior just hit 70, and last week I had just bought my epic land mount, and not too far off will be all the flying stuff at 77.

    However, the next content patch is like, 4+ months away, so I don'y really feel that bad.

    Supposedly much sooner than that.

    This will also make getting the 100 mount achievement somewhat cheaper.

    These changes are only a good thing, and this is coming from someone who's bought all the way up to epic flying mounts twice and up to regular flying on two more characters.

  • RizziRizzi Registered User regular
    Hey neato. Shame they aren't reducing the cost for epic flight training, but eh. Faster normal flying isn't something to get angry about.

  • NerdgasmicNerdgasmic __BANNED USERS regular
    Well, they are technically reducing the cost of Epic flying. It's having home faction (I don't know which, the NPC might be made to be affected by your total Horde rep) applied, so the only way it isn't at least slightly cheaper is if you've somehow leveled to 80 without getting to friendly with the Horde.
