[UPDATED SEPT. 18] Choose the Next Shadowlands Mount

I think they missed a trick here with a mount that whilst not being unique model wise, would have been a popular choice: a hot rod like the goblin starter zone roller. Players have long asked for a mount like this in game. This would have been the perfect opportunity to throw it in seeing as the mounts aren’t SL themed.

Blue, if you read this, I would totally go for that if it was an option! +1 for hot rod

yeah, on discord someone mentioned a butterfly mount as well (not moth, but actual butterfly).

there are so many creative ideas out there which would have been a good fit.

Totally. A few I’ve brainstormed (personal tastes may vary and admittedly they’re quite gnome themed)

A mechanical “hamster ball” / rolling cage. Seeing your character sweating it out to give you that top speed!

A jetpack like in Mechagon, or helipack

A steam powered pogo stick

Mechanical stilts

An actual eagle mount

A penny farthing type bicycle

A tandem bicycle as a passenger mount

Suggestion for the Wandering Ancient; let it change it’s leafs/color depending on the 4 seasons, just like the ancient pet :slight_smile:

My first instinct was the nerubian, but after those uldum mounts I don’t think it would be original enough. Hitching a ride on a tree sounds better.

Soaring spelltome! Flyng on a book sounds interesting, but honestly whatever mount will have the most votes it is free mount indeed so i would never complain :smiley:

If that wins I wonder if we’d be sat on the shoulder of the Wondering Ancient.

Something for the little orcs RP :smiley:
I went with the Tome because a flying book sounds cool

Please make it so we sit on the branch off to the side of the tree, that’d be amazing and actually get used :slight_smile:

Goblin hotrod!

The only way I’d ever use the ancient is if you actually sit on or hang onto one of its branches. None of that silly Gronn-type stuff where there’s a stupid saddle on it.

i cant see any pictures of these mounts? how can i decide?

Well it turns out I accidentally voted for the ancient, clicked it hoping for more info on the mounts and there was no confirmation?

It’ll just be another mount people will use for a week and then you’ll never see again though :clown_face:

post edited.

How will an Ancient fly? It would look ridiculous.

You’re right, the tome could just hover, in which case I’ll be extremely disappointed (or won’t because it is nowhere near winning LOL)

Any description that combines sticky and kitty gets my vote.

I can vote for a mount without access to concept art or previews, so what sounds good on paper might not appeal to me at all after it’s developed?
I might not even get the mount I want if a different mount gains more popularity?Literally everyone will have it, eliminating every sense of prestige and achievement from having the mount?
No thanks. I can see where they are coming from with this and I’m grateful they’re trying to get the community more involved in stuff like this but that’s way too many levels of frustration for me.
Can’t they develop all mounts, let us choose ONE per account, and tie it to an interesting questline? That would be so much more engaging, than a silly contest where most people don’t get the mount they wished for.
