Celestial Steed and Lil'XT

[Fursphere]

Congratulations.

You all just acquired the "Lemming" achievement.

I suspect that this will start happening more frequently - and everyone will keep buying them. WoW just become a RMT platform. Yay!

[Ualaa]

If it were a faster mount, say 310% even if you did not already have a 310% mount...
I'd probably join the crowd.

But as long as its a purely graphical mount, no matter how cool looking, it's no better then my current mount.
So, if some want the graphic they're welcome to it; it doesn't bother me that they have it or that I don't.
And as long as the mounts/pets are no benefit over the normal stuff, its not really an RMT platform, at least imo.

I dont understand why multiboxers dont love this.

If someone had said to you a year ago, pay $25 per account. Now every character you create will get a mount in their mailbox.

At level 20 it will be a 60% speed ground mount.
At level 40 it will be a 100% speed ground mount.
At level 60 it will be a 150% speed flying mount/100% speed ground mount.
At level 70 it can be a 280% speed flying mount/100% speed ground mount.

You would JUMP at the chance. This is one less hassle to deal with on 5 accounts accross characters with multiple races and having to go to different cities to purchase mounts. And your characters can all look the same which is something many boxers covet greatly.

I've bought one for my main account and will probably buy 4 more. At the end of the day I'm supporting Blizzard to make even more incredible games and to buy products and things about WoW that I like.

If you box 5 accounts at $15 each per month you already pay $900 a year in subscription fees. Whats another $125 once off to gain such a great benefit?

So what if everyone has one, the novelty will wear off and people will go back to using whatever they like best. Some people cant just stand that everyone has the same cool new toy as them. Well in WoW you cant be a unique individual, ever. :P

personally I think people should do what they want. But to suggest I would jump for this is idiocy. As boxers in game money isn't a problem, except maybe epic flying. You still need to buy the talent. Some boxers want everything the same for pvp/ arena purposes, that doesn't necessarily apply for the mount. So this is for purely aesthetics. I don't jump for that.

Can all the toons in your wow account use this mount? (if they have the appropiate riding skill) Even cross server and faction?

[Slats]

Every character on your account gets it mailed to their mailbox. Every new character you make starts with it in their mailbox.

It changes based on your riding skill and where you are.

Its a very girlie looking mount, but my slaves are all women. My main can stay using Headless Horseman's

Been trying several times this evening to buy one for each of my accounts, but keep getting "unable to process transaction" oh well, maybe another day.

I have not bought any (don't know if i will) but it sounds practical that it is both a ground and flying mount. I saw someone last night afk on the mount in the middle of daleran - thats not possible on anything normal that can fly. Seems nice not to have to shift between flying/ground mounts based on where you are. Maybe.

If it's anything like the Headless Horseman's Mount, you still need to dismount and remount when going between flight and no-flight zones. The HH mount doesn't automatically transition. When you fly into Dalaran, you'll get dismounted and have to summon again to have the "non-flying" version, even though it's the same mount. Likewise, while on the ground mount version, you won't automatically shift to the flyable mount when you reach Krasus Landing.

You do have to remount between ground / flight.


I'd just like to add a quote I saw on the wow forums yesterday about it.

"Having a core hound pup pet proves you have an authenticator...Having a Celestial Steed proves you have a job"
