wow 500 Mount Achievement Yeti Mount To Be Changed

[Staff 1,176]

 

It seems community feedback was loud and got heard, and will be incorporated swiftly! After seeing the 500 mounts collected achievement reward, the Carrier Yeti, the community immediately commented on how underwhelming it is for such a hard achievement, and we now have confirmation that it will indeed be replaced! 

The old yeti, to be replaced.

Yep, we agree. The yeti will be changed in a future alpha build, though not necessarily the next one. Feedback like this is always useful, and please take this as a reminder that things you see in alpha builds are subject to change.

What on earth? That thing is just a Winter Veil Yeti recolored. Can they not create something new?

Yes, that is in fact what they are doing. Which is the point of the article 😄

Holy crap that was fast! Im impressed blizzard, keep this work up.

Wow, that was fast guys! 5 years to create a 500 mount achievement and this is what they thought would be an acceptable mount or even model. Another reskin to add to the other 30% of your mounts which are also reskins for this achievement. amazing!

I think the 500 mount reward should be a black brontosaurus with a repair vendor and a black market AH vendor as well to offset the green one with the regular AH 

that would be worth 500

Literally every mount is just a "reskin". Aside from the few mounts that offer multiple riders or utility options such as vendors or transmog, they are all the same. Would be nice to see the mount system re-imagined because you can only do so much with the looks of them.

Mounts with abilities, even abilities based on class/race/spec could be cool. Mounts that, instead of being a drop for killing X number of something or the drop being percent-based, why not make the option of mount taming? It could essentially be a profession, or possibly a class (looking at you hunters and druids or warlocks because demons yo!) specific profession. You initially "catch" a wild creature, then you have to "train" it to be ride-able. The more unique the creature, the tougher/longer to train. You could then either sell it or keep it for yourself. There could be a bank like spot next to the Mount Trainer Trainer (I had to, sorry) where you could stable your mounts while they are in training. We already have part of this system with world quests and riding certain creatures where we have to perform certain actions to tame them in order to complete the quest.

Would certainly open up a lot more doors in the world of mounts and add a new fun element to the game.

"Hey we noticed you have every mount in the game, here, you missed one"

Maybe they could instead give a buff to flying speeeeeeed & unlock flying in all zones (if by some insane chance anyone who got this many mounts didn't just incidentally knock off all the pathfinder unlocks while they were at it).

For 500, I would release a freshly updated Devilsaur with all the bells and whistles of vendors.
