MMO-Champion BlueTracker - ZA bear mounts

2008-09-25 08:48:50

Hey everyone,
Just curious as to if people knew how much time was left till I could get one since I remember hear that there was a month left but I didn't know if that meant that they would still be available for 1 more week (end of sept.) or two (first week in oct.)? Any help would be much appreciated

Re: ZA bear mounts

We have no released a date for when the patch that is in testing on the PTR will go live. But I agree with some of the people above in that there isn't a lot of time left since the expansion launches on November 13.

Q u o t e:

Would you kindly link your source on this one

Thank you

The current plan is to make it unobtainable with the upcoming patch. We are still doing some testing on this but this is how it should go.

Q u o t e:
Bornakk,

Totally agree with the change since it will be too easy to farm with 80s running through there now. However, has any though been given to maybe make this a rare drop from the Bear boss? I'm thinking more along the lines of A'lar, Midnight, and the Baron's mount. It wouldn't take it out of the game, from being obtainable, totally...but wouldn't be a gimme. Just a thought.

Right now we are fine with removing this one mount from the game and keeping it as an item that was a challenge for many people to get but no longer obtainable. There are new types of bear mounts being added into the game for those who want to romp around on one, so that side of things is taken care of. If it's a rare mount drop that players are looking for, Zul'gurub awaits (among other places). I'm sure players will find out pretty quickly if any of this changes.

Q u o t e:
To the poster about the Naaru and A'dal titles...the quest lines do go away with the expansion I believe.

We plan to have the quests still available, they just won't reward the titles at the end of them.

Q u o t e:

So, do we have until 3.0 hits or until the Expansion hits?

Our guild has been working on Kael, we /almost/ have him down, but it would be nice to know when the deadline is coming up.

3.0

Re: ZA bear mounts

Q u o t e:
Are just the ZA mounts no longer dropping in Wotlk?

Or all old instance mounts... Stratholme.. etc?

Only the ZA one as it's not necessarily a "drop" but a guaranteed reward if completed in time.
