2 New (Promotional) Mounts on the 9.0.5 PTR. Your guesses?

Promotional mounts are almost always related to the store.
The Fireplume Phoenix is already a Hearthstone card. It’s like Ashes of A’lar but a updated version of it.

My guess for obtaining these two new Phoenix mounts will be this; They will announce TBC servers at BlizzConline. Now to “celebrate” the announcement of TBC servers they will probably put these two mounts on the store as a bundle for a limited time, along with 30 days of game time & potentially a matching transmog set or a pet to sweeten the deal for anyone not interested in the mounts.

Once TBC officially launches they will remove the bundle from the store. I guess it would be sort of a pre-purchase bonus… but not exactly.

TBC servers are likely to be accessible with no additional charges like the Classic servers, but with a bundle such as this Blizzard will be able to better monetize or to take advantage of all of the hype from a TBC server announcement.

The reason I think this is simply because of the recent 30th Anniversary Blizzard package. The method of obtaining these could be completely different ofc, but this is my best guess right now.

My second (but less likely) guess is they will be new Heroes of the Storm promotional mounts to try and get people to play HoTs again? Like the Primal Flamesaber we got in Legion. But I feel Blizzard isn’t really bothering with that stuff anymore.

16 years, and not a single StarCraft mount or transmog item.
I usually the store, but boy would I be willing to pay for a Baneling mount or a Protoss armor with psi-blades.

If it’s WoW related I’ll get them.
Otherwise I don’t care.

Only things I can even think of are
WoW tournament / charity mounts.
Diablo immortal pre-purchase (might be too early)
And TBC. But I don’t see how they’d ask for money with TBC.

They said they’ll be focusing on new mobile titles, so likely for that.

Phenix sounds like a HD remake of well… Phenix.

Promotional mounts are almost never relayed to the game store. But something you get by playing a other blizzard game.

That’s good, but I want a valkyrie mount.

phoenix could be tied to TBC servers, Skyblazer is a big ? tho.

At least we got 3 pets over the years!
But I agree, Protoss armor would be :heart:

Oh god I hope not, I absolutely hated those games of HotS that I played to get that mount :sob: But, even though I’d personally dislike it, it is a nice idea to get people to play Blizzard’s various games.

Then I’ll get it for sure :grin:
I’m guessing by the names, one blue and one red for either faction.

Cross play promotion would be great. Play TBC Classic get something in Retail.

Feels a bit “odd” (not really anymore… sadly) that they release so many “buy this”-mounts in such a short time.

6month sub hadn’t expired, then they announced the Ox one.
Then the promotional blizz bear (which is super cute)
Now these two?

I mean… it seems… very spammy.

The word “promotional” is a placeholder and those are actually the 2 new mounts for mount collection achievement :stuck_out_tongue: 450-500

17

Still disappointed that they didn’t include something that let you transfer unobtainable skins from classic to release… Especially since the old argument about “you should have been there and done it then” is now moot.
