2.3 Engineering Mount Changes

Previews | Oct. 25, 2007 (10 months, 2 weeks ago) | by ZekeTheSquirrel | Filed in World of Warcraft

There have been a couple changes to the Engineering mount models and sounds have also been added. I think the sounds fit perfectly! Couldn't have done a better job. They sound like an old beat-up car. I especially like when it stalls.

Here are some pics showing the changes.

And the flying reindeer for christmas.

Reindeers are not Christian. The Scandinavian gift-giving gnome Tomten (Also known as Julesvenn, Julnissen, Knecht Ruprecht) contributed the archetypal peaked red hat and associations with reindeer.

The Pumpkin being associated with Halloween is a New England (US) Irish Immigrant tradition.

Back on topic: Gyrocopters FTW. WOnder if they are armed with cannon or flamethrowers like in Warhammer Gaming?

i wish we could see a clearer version of the old ones, but so far it looks like the new normal looks better, but the old epic looks better.

The old versions had the exact same model and texture, only difference was that the engine shook ALOT more in the normal, as compared to the epic. Now, the engines shake about the same, but the epic kept the same paint job while the regular is blank metal.

What's the difference between the epic and normal models?
I see some color job on the epic, but anything else???

Well, the epic one is 280% flying speed while the normal is 60%. The normal one has to be made in order to make the regular one.

Hmm. I personally like the old look of the engineering mounts better than the new one, but its just a preference. And I'm not an engineer, so it won't affect me anyway :P

But I have to say I saw the flying reindeer coming.

The flying reindeer looks very cool. Does he leave a trail of those sparkles behind as you fly around?

Yes, a fairly long trail at that.

It seems that on the PTR a few random people were mailed some new Christmas items. A couple examples below:

Hot Apple Cider
Red Winter Clothes Pattern

Yeah it looks as if the Christmas event is being included in 2.3, so I guess that means 2.4 won't be until after New Year's.
