Grote mount veranderingen voor World of Warcraft

Een woordvoerder van Blizzard heeft op de officiële World of Wacraft forums bekend gemaakt dat er grote veranderingen voor de mounts in het spel aakomen. Mounts worden biinnenkort goedkoper, zijn nog eerder verkrijgbaar en zijn in sommige gevallen zelfs sneller. Als onderdeel van patch 3.2 kun je de volgende veranderingen verwachten.

Apprentice Riding (Skill 75)

* 60% land mount speed
* Requires level 20 (instead of 30)
* Cost: 4 gold
* Mount cost: 1 gold

Journeyman Riding (Skill 150)

* 100% land mount speed
* Requires level 40 (instead of 60)
* Cost: 50 gold
* Mount cost: 10 gold
* Mail will be sent to players at level 40 guiding them back to the riding trainer

Expert Riding (Skill 225)

* 150% flying mount speed; 60% land mount speed
* Requires level 60 (instead of 70)
* Cost: 600 gold (faction discounts now apply)
* Mount Cost: 50 gold

Daarnaast geld voor alle mounts dat het maar 1.5 seconden duurt om er een te sumonnen, normaal was dit twee keer zo lang.


"The game has gotten quite a bit longer, and allowing players to get from A to B faster only very minimally decreases difficulty; more so, it decreases time spent traveling," explained the Blizzard poster, continuing, "We don't want to discourage players from trying out the game if they have not yet, and we especially don't want to discourage existing players from trying out new characters because the leveling process from 1-80 seems too daunting after flying around Northrend grabbing purples for a while."
