News: Vehicles and follow

unfortunately, in blizz's world, having a large number of people who hope/want something to happen doesn't make that something actually happen.

again with the dream killers! :)

You all realize, taken in context. the blue is referring to MOUNTS. not necessarily the quest vehicles. Magic carpets, Mammoths, Chopper...

[pengwynman]

after reading a bit more, it's still kind of unclear....

As we mentioned yesterday, in an upcoming patch -- possibly 3.1 -- all vehicle-style mounts are being changed to behave like normal mounts.

"all vehicle-style mounts" kind of makes me think they're changing all vehicles... i mean technically tanks are a kind of mount right? There may be a glimmer of hope, just don't get 'em up too high til we get a better worded response from a blue :P

edit: after reading a few more posts it looks like they're only changing the mounts that you can actually get in your mounts tab... otherwise they probably would have said something specifically about tanks, etc

not sure about this .. to me it sounds like personal mounts (flying carpet) will function like regular mounts (it was classified as vehicle).. but vehicles will still stay as 'vehicles'..

[Lyonheart]

yea, after re-reading it.. I'm 98.899% sure they mean player owned mounts only. BUT if they can change those, why not all? ehh? A tad bit of unrealistic hope!

Sooo easy to debunk.

Santa Clause?
Easter Bunny?
Tooth Fairy?

It's a proverb. That's like trying to debunk an idiom - it makes no sense, as you cannot debunk a thing which makes no claims of fact to begin with.

Also, I think there are a few differences between hoping something turns out well and knowingly telling little children a yarn to give them fantastical ideas. Further, all of those you named are metaphors for something else anyway - the story can be relevant even if the entity does not exist.

Indeed. If only WoW were designed by a massive committee of players rather than a group of professional game developers, it would surely be the most successful MMO ever!

Well I for one am happy. I'm a tailor on my main, and the magic carpet is lame the way it is - so yay.

You mean luckily don't you, if it was up to people boxing would be the first thing disallowed :P
