Mount At Level 30! Not Really A Good Thing…
The newly released patch 2.4.3 PTR notes say that the regular ground mount that currently is available at level 40 will be pushed down to level 30. The Apprentice Riding training required to ride these mounts will also be made cheaper at 35 gold. I understand that Blizzard is trying to make things easier to players to level up 70 especially now that the Wrath of the Lich King expansion approaching 9exactly when we don’t know). But this move isn’t exactly well received by a lot of people I talked to.
“That’s BS!”, said one of my guild mates when I told her about the upcoming change. I can see why. It’s one thing to make leveling up faster or to make mount costs cheaper. That’s still ok by my book since players still get them at the level they’re supposed to be. Pushing the level requirements down to level 30 is way different! Level 40 was such a wonderful level BECAUSE you could get your mount aside from getting your level 40 talent in the tree you’ve been working on. Level 40 was a cornerstone level for this very reason. Now the level will lose some of its prestige.
Another problem I see affects Druids. I’m assuming that a lot of the druids leveling up nowadays are alts of people who have high level characters. And even if not, 35 gold isn’t that hard to get at all. For this reason, a level 30 druid would most probably have the money to buy his/her mount, making travel form lose a lot of its value. Why would a druid use travel form much if he/she can use the mount? Of course it’s not totally useless even when this change happens but having a speed increase 10 levels early is definitely one reason why travel form is very appealing. With the change, this reason would be gone.
While I’m excited that any character I start from scratch with will get his mount earlier, I’m still not totally sold on the idea for the reasons above. What do you think? Is this a good move by Blizzard or not?

THIS PATCH IS TOTAL BS! I can’t believe Blizzard could be SO thick to think this is a good idea. As a druid, I was upset with only 10 level difference with my Travel form and my mount. Now I doubt that druids will get travel form (although I still use it to run as fast as freckin’ possible from mobs) because the mount is closer to them. Also, with it cheaper, us higher levels just got screwed out of some money!

Travel form will still have it’s uses like you said. Running away from a mob or running the flag in wsg. But it definitely will lose most of its usefulness with this change.

Jun 20, 2008 at 8:38 am
I think this is a great change. I am a druid (feel free to armory my name) and I do not think it affects Travel Form’s usefulness at all. 1) TF is instant and 2) can be used in combat 3) you can herb, carry, mine etc in form, those three reasons alone make it mounds more useful in many situations than a mount.
Angelo
Jun 20, 2008 at 9:26 am
True, but I’m sure you’ll admit that having a speed increase 10 levels early is one of the more appealing things about travel form especially as a lowbie player. I didn’t say that it would be useless now with the upcoming change. Your reasons above are valid cases to use TF still
I;m pretty sure some shaman are also complaining that their ghost wolf will only have a 10 level advantage instead of the current 20. But as I said, having the mount earlier is still quite exciting!

If Druids were upset by the 10 level difference then I imagine a lot of shamans are going to be upset now that there will only be a 10 level difference between ghost wolf and your mount…I know I am

From a business standpoint the lvl 30 mount makes a lot of sense. It removes a lot of drudgery from having to walk everywhere when questing. My first character was a Shaman, and def loved ghost wolf. Rolling a Priest next it was painful until lvl 40.
Ghost wolf and Travelform are both instant casts and as Karaja still present a great deal of utility. Moreover as a druid you get 30% speed in cat form from talents if you want, so travelform isn’t a huge upgrade. In the end it is a benefit to the other classes, not a direct drawback to others.
As Blizzard continues to push WoW to the masses and tries to get more people involved, you will see more and more ’softening’ of the game. Various things become easier. The end goal is more subscribers, and it makes a lot of sense.
My 2 cents.

ok mounts at 30 sure thats good for people at 30 or lower but for people over it seems it was just a waist of there money im a lvl 37 hunter and iv been dying to get to 40 cause of the awseom mounts and being able to get the training to where plate it just seemed that lvl 40 was the best lvl to get to and then once i heard that you can get them at 30 i thought dang that was a waist to play alot of my day for pretty much nothing now 40 will just seem like another lvl in WoW but hey for you lvl 20s and stuff gratz to you.
Angelo
Jun 23, 2008 at 4:57 am
Like I said before, I didn’t say that getting a mount at 30 is a bad thing. In fact it’s great that people leveling up in the lowbie levels could get their mount sooner. But this definitely takes away some of the prestige of being a level 40. Level 40 is the first cornerstone level because back in pre-TBC, it was the level you could get the highest tier talent of the tree you’re working on and also because you could get your mount.
Now, it no longer is the level you could get the highest tier talent in a tree and no longer will it be the level you could get your mount. Sure you get some cool stuff at 40 but like Alex said above, it seems like it’s just another level now.

Jun 23, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I have a lvl 36 priest, I love the new change bc i have no toons 40 or above. I DO think that priests are one of the most jipped classes bc they basically have no armor, speed improvments, and it also takes long periods of time to get to the next lvl b/c it takes a long time to kill someone your lvl. Ok, a little of subject.
Now… the pullbacks, I honesty think 10 lvls less was a bad idea, BUT 5 lvls would be more like it. i agree 10 lvls is just to much. and i dont think they should mess with price. But this will all benefit me tomorrow. Thank you for reading my opinion. If you would like to e-mail me to comment on my comment, feel free to do so.

Jun 24, 2008 at 2:40 am
I think this is kinda BS…
As a druid I’ve always been proud of being faster than most other in just about any situation… If Bliz is trying to ’soften’ the game then apply the same advantage to TF and GW for druids and shammys.
They should either make them available earlier, or have them match mounting speed.

Alex, just a note. Hunters don’t wear plate at 40, they wear mail.
Angelo
Jun 24, 2008 at 8:28 am
I guess it really depends on the person. Some love the change and some don’t. I know that if I start a character from scratch, I’ll have the relief of getting my mount 10 levels early. But that still won’t take away my opinion that level 40 is less prestigious and less of a cornerstone level now with this change.
Mike
Jun 24, 2008 at 11:41 am
I would agree that level 40 would lose some of it’s prestige. They should at least make the mount a little slower like 45% while riding it. I would agree it is such a big difference when your 39 with no mount and 40 getting a mount that increases your speed by 60% and you can get even higher. As for the druid travel form It is a shame that mounts take the place of it for “traveling” places that a normal level 30 wouldn’t have (besides those dang shamans and their 40% running at level 20) but can they still use it in battle? I know they can run the flag in wsg with it but I never made one that high.

That’s funny that people are upset about this. If you’ve been playing since release, you most likely have more than 1 70 already. I personally have 4 70s across both factions. Was thinking about leveling a level 30 ud priest and now I get a skelly horse as soon as I log on.
As far as level 40 being prestigious is funny. Wow, that’s super cool to be grinding in STV! Hurray for you!

Jun 24, 2008 at 5:29 pm
QQ more. Seriously. You don’t loose travel form, you get travel form AND the opportunity to use a mount. Regardless, you would hit the point where you have both anyway. You want travel form to equal the mount speed? Why do you think your class is entitled to a buff like that? Instant cast mount at level 30? Give me a break. This patch is designed to help speed up the process of getting through Azeroth and in to Outlands. Really, Azeroth is now the ‘old game’. And when the expansion comes out, along with the lvl 80 level cap, it helps not to have to walk around for so long as the game continues to grow. Just enjoy having the OPTION to purchase your mount at level 30. If you want to wait those extra 10 levels, go for it.

Well, I’m a 70 druid on my main and a 37 shammy on an alt, and my first thought was “woot! cheaper mounts!”
I mean, first: travel form/ghost wolf are very very useful, with or without the option of mounts. Second: I don’t think that I need to be validated by how much faster my class is than other classes. Third: 40 isn’t really that “major” a level anymore, anyway. The big ones, from how I see it, are hitting 58 and 70. Dropping riding from 40 to 30 is just adding a little boost to the start of the game, and imho, adding some incentive to those people who might be getting discouraged.
@Craig - I heard early July for the patch going live.

overall i think this is a good idea, First of all i i think this will help people level up different characters faster, around level 30 you explore more places yet you dont have a mount, thats why i think blizzard made the right choice. it makes it easier and faster on exploring. Second, why would druids be mad? having travel form is still usfull, you shouldnt be complaining if you dont even have to buy your mount. The rest do. therefore i think it is a good idea that blizzard has done this.

Jun 27, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Oh stop all of your crying! “but i already bought my mount”…so what! once you hit the outlands you will be rolling in the dough and even 100 gold will be chump change…well maybe not chump change but an easy day’s grind, and no matter, you already have your mount… as of right now no level 30 does, congratulations! “but level 40 will loose its charm” BAH! plate and mail is still at level 40 for those whom it applies to, final talent tree point is also at 40, plus why should 40 be such a big level? only thing the number 40 has done was wipe out everything on earth (as in days and nights of the flood) and on a separate note spawn oodles of corny over the hill jokes and ensures that after you spill a bit on the curb, there is enough to finish slating your thurst… “BUT TF!!!11″ as sated many times before: instant, harvesting and usable in BGs… plus no druid should ever complain about a loss of power!

“ITS ALL FALSE!!! ITS ONLY FOR THE PUBLIC TEST REALMS. NOT REGULAR REALMS.” HAHA NOOB, The PTRS are to TEST for bugs in the up coming patches. Everything in the PTR is what it will be like in the next patch except for (hopefully) bugs, and i think this will be a good thing.. My friends started WoW so we could hangout now that i moved 5 states away but they dont like it because it takes so long to get from place to place until 40. Everyone has there own opinions on this matter. armory me.. im not even close to 30.. and i also have 2 70’s on top of this char. I just feel this isn’t such a bad idea.

As much as I still feel getting your mount at 40 is the way to go as far as keeping the prestige of that level intact, it’s become clear to me that in the end, getting to the level cap faster and easier is the way to go so that the game will appeal to newer players.
I admit that while I feel a bit ticked off because I had to wait until 40 like everyone else before this change goes live, I’d really hate to wait until 40 again to get my mount for the alts I would make in the future.
Hoover
Jul 3, 2008 at 10:02 pm
To answer Triniq’s remark:
This is not going to be BS this is a way to help people get around easier, just because you get a mount at 30 doesnt mean its going to magically make the game really really easy, your going to have to do the same quests, the same areas, the same instances, everything, the only difference is that you can get there faster.
And you have to realize..how is this going to hurt lvl 70 players because they had to buy 40 mounts? Theyre lvl 70!! who cares! they can get gold so easily! lvl 30 however takes a while longer! If you ask me 70’s should not be affected in anyway. This is a good decision by Blizzard.
Sam
Jul 7, 2008 at 2:37 am
Many of you have been saying nothing will be negative about this. Have you ever had a lvl 39 twink druid? No longer will we have our biggest advantage. And two, (although this does not affect me) not all people who bought lvl 40 mounts are 70 yet. And many would be pleased to have the 80-90(depending on rep) gold back. My solution: lower the speed of the lvl 30 mount to 40% increase BUT at the same time keep lvl 40 mounts in game EXCEPT decrease the cost by the cost of the lvl 30 mount. No1 gets hurt and everything costs the same in the end. Now im imagining im going to get flamed for making druids “OP” but think about this. Every class would be getting a buff but druids.
Plus if you truly had a lvl 70 you can just get ur friend to power-lvl ur alt to lvl 40 in a day.

pally and lock mount quests are also level 30 when the patch goes live
Soulestream

I don’t know about Pally’s but locks don’t have a quest for level 40 mount anymore. They just get it from the trainer. They can just buy it at 30 after the patch.
As far as good/bad. I hit level 70 on my second alt (NE Hunter), 3 days before they did the EXP bump/reduction to speed up leveling from 20-60. Patch 2.3 I think. That kinda ticked me off. I didn’t see half the people complaining about that as this. As far as Level 30 mounts, HURRAY. I’m leveling my first Horde and Barrens sucks and I was really dreading STV.
Good for Blizz

Droods Smell
Jul 8, 2008 at 5:41 pm
Lol. When I first read this I thought there was going to be some valid point. If the reason that the earlier mounts are not a good idea is because droods and shammys will get there speed boost at the same time everyone else will, thats just noob talk. Please.. these things go on all the time. Things change, game mechanics change, requirements change. Just because you got a “travel” form before everyone else doesnt mean you need to cry a river, when that privelige is extended to other classes. What a joke. You droods are OP. Just like the bitching about when Hunters were given an Insta-Fear all over the forums. Where’d I leave that Nerfbat!

Jul 8, 2008 at 9:02 pm
Why are all the Druids bitching about this? What? Druids don’t buy mounts? It’s not like you people can’t buy and use them as well; they go faster than your travel form. Would you rather go slower? If you think this change ruins the utility of travel form, please, delete your character, you’re obviously playing it wrong anyway. The people that should be concerned with this change are the twinks in the 30-39 level bracket that now have to deal with mounts in battlegrounds. I’m not really sure if that’s a good or bad thing as I don’t twink there, or at all for that matter. As for the utility of the mount being moved to level 30, it’s a great idea and it should have been there all along. Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms are huge compared to Outlands yet they have 280% speed mount to fly around on while the noobs are forced to run the Barrens on foot? The change will mean you get to actually play the game more as you will now spend less time running from A to B.

hey ppl, i think 30 mounts are awesome. i just love the idea of lvl30 mounts coz i started the game in january 2008 and im a really lazy lvler im only 36 and thats my main. So i think 30 mounts will be a nice surprise for noobs that are lvl25-30 and dont know a thing about the new patches. ps im a pally so i get the mount for 90 silver or 1 gold+training so i think itll be better for lvling as u can get to places faster. im sick of having to run everywhere. also i think u certain ppls should stop whining that its not a good thing and lvl40 is losing its prestige or something so u ppl shutup about it. and lastly: i want to thank those who have been supporting the idea of mounts at lvl30. thank you. p.s its not BS. what if some blizz dude came and saw it?? all ur BS that its a bad thing! I WONT REPLY OR READ ANY EMAILS U SEND ME. REALLY.

I think that mounts at lvl 30 is a BAD BAD BAD idea. the reason is simple, if you lower the lvl requirement, EVERYONE IN THE DAM WORLD will have one. you will see mounts everywhere! you’ll see so many mounts you’ll start to get sick of em.
let me exaggerate an example to prove a point….say blizzard started everyone off with a mount a lvl 1. then litterally EVERYONE would have a mount and the mount would no longer be cool, it would loose all of its prestige and value, and would be one less thing to get excited about in this game. after all, you cant show off your mount if everyone in the game already has one! think about it.

As for Sam’s remark, the druid wont be less valuable you cant carry a flag in bg with a mount so its not like it makes a difference anyways, you can still run it with your speed increase, as for alliance catching up to you, it should be that way it makes the game more fair.
Shadowedge
Jul 14, 2008 at 9:45 am
I have to agree with Rockafella on this one. i think the patch is a bad thing. Lvl 40 is such a milestone for everyone playing that it would suck to have that feeling of accomplishment lessend by dropping the mount lvl. I know with my characters i strive for lvl 40 only for the mount not anything in the tier. i just think that if people want a mount so bad they should ahve to work for it, not have it handed to them on a platter for cheap like this patch is going to do.

grow up and level to 40, like everyone else has had to in the past.
Why dont the geniuses dow at Blizzard make something useful, like level 20 nd 30 speed buffs for all classes. Make level 50 mounts with a 75% speed increase, reduce the cost of level 40’s and leave it at that. All you “casuals” really need to stop expecting everything to be handed down to you on a golden platter.

I think this new patch defeats the purpose of the game, i was usually looking forward to getting my mounts at lvl 40, but now that some of my charcs are in the 30s, im thinking, well thats gay, i was lvling to 40 so i can get the mount the way we have been forever, but now that i lvled them over the new mount lvl, defeats my purpose of reachingmy goals, i like the challenge, but reducing the lvl needed to get a mount is not very smart. its relatively reasy to get to 30, but it gets hard to lvl to 40 from there. getting my mount at 40 was motivation to keep on lvling.
Euphie
Jul 15, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Blizzard really has the core of it players already playing and how they are probably looking at it is that people who are veterans of the game, shouldn’t have to deal with bullshit of the first 40 slow as levels of the game.

You’re an idiot. Prestige at level 40? GTFO and level to 70 already. Travel form is useless? So we shouldn’t lower level required for travel arrangements so that 1 class gets to use their 1 ability? Dumbass.

Or maybe, SmArTy, all you fucking nerds with no lives should realize the simple fact that IT’S A VIDEO GAME. Have you ever logged off? Do you know what outside looks like? Jeeze, I really wonder! Would you be able to support a lover with some income, even if you actually left your house long enough to meet one?
Unlike you, some people enjoy playing games, but have LIVES. Real lives! Gasp! How astonishing!
World of Warcraft was -designed- to take forever to level simply so that they could make money off of subscription payments. Plain and simple. The fact that they’re making the game more enjoyable by giving you an early sense of progress is GOOD, and any moronic old-school nerd that says otherwise can bite me and stop being so damn jealous and vindictive.
And to all the Druids and Shamans, sorry for your losses, but seriously, you’re hybred classes to begin with and you’re both really fun classes to play. I’d like to hear a little less “Q.Q; I FEEL NERFED” and a little more “FUCK YEAH NOW MY FRIENDS I PLAY WITH FROM OTHER CLASSES CAN ACTUALLY KEEP UP AND SAVE ME TIME!”

Level thirty is now when you get a mount, which makes sense since its half-way to your next mount. The reduced price makes it more realistic for lowbies, because not everyone has an epic-geared 70 to leech money off of.
Level forty is when you get one of your most useful talents in the game.
Level fifty is often another useful talent.
Level sixty is outlands.
Level seventy explains itself. =p
So now all the levels are useful, and it can feel like you’re actually -doing something- between twenty and forty, because honestly before it was kind of tedious and retarded.

As a 55 drood (alt) i think that its awsome…the 30ish grind sucks, at least now its a bit better. Although i have a 70 i don’t like to send money over, i play my alts like a new toon so the price drop is very nice aswell XD. As for the Tf being useless i agree with what alot of people are saying…They are both usefull in in different situations. Hitting level 40 on warr wasn’t that great either because i had to buy mount, train, and upgrade to plate, not easy to afford on a first toon. Now there’s 10 levels to build up some more cash

wow. ppl that have a hard time getting to 40 should quit the game, cause its not hard u don’t need a mount at 30-39 ur a bunch of nubs with undeserving mounts. I highly doubt any 1 that wrote on how they like it cause there only 30 sums will get a 70 on a public realm not a private then quit you’ll never be a 70 and if u did happen 2 make it u suck balls cause every else can do it without 1 and they know how 2 play game its stupid and if u think ur sum hott s**t cause u got a mount for a cheaper price think again, ur just as crappy as before all u can do is show ppl faster by running on ur shitty, they should have had made it 30% faster for the mounts and they should be crappy like the ppl riding them.

Dear John,
please learn how to formulate a sentence before opening evidently quite uneducated mouth.
That is all. ^.^

Dear Lelayne,
Leave john alone. Alot of the stuff that he is saying is true. By the way…before you correct another persons grammar, you should reconsider doing the same about your own.
THAT is all t(oot)

Anyone complaining about getting a 60% speed increase because then their 30% speed increase won’t be special is a complete tool.
Also, only furfags roll druid and no one cares about them anyway. Go find something real to complain about, like sick people or some shit.

Next time a druid joins your group and tanks/heals dps for you and makes the run smooth, think about what you just said. I hope a druid kicks your ass in pvp.

Dear samuinja, yes, lowercase, because you don’t deserve upper.
Mozilla Firefox has its own spell check, and if you’re too moronic to realize that the quote, “Dear John,
please learn how to formulate a sentence before opening evidently quite uneducated mouth.
That is all. ^.^”
Has not a single miss-spelled word or typo within it, then perhaps you should further your education before attempting to comment upon somebody else’s.
Until your illiterate behind can afford such education, please try taking the training wheels off of your failbike.
Websites such as dictionary.com and google.com are intended to be useful in helping illiterate, stupid morons, who are too incompetent to figure out how words are spelled on their own. :)
With eternal love, and a prayer that your idiot-arse reaches an untimely demise,

Oops, forgot a bit.
PS, The shift keys were also designed for a reason, and not just for spamming question marks and exclamation marks as you did earlier, quickly try to locate both on your keyboard. You must be an Assassination Rogue, because you thoroughly Mutilate the English language. ^.^

I just recently started playing again on my level 29 Hunter and was a great relief to get a mount at 30 because questing takes forever.

Me dissing a stupid question on ” How do you feel about the new patch giving level 30’s mounts” “makes me cry”, “hurts my feeling” is absolutely ridiculous come on. because you taking my comment as a heart felt hatered towards you (the real you) isn’t a good thing. p.s sorry if I affened anyone I should have wrote a message on how I feel about the question rather than who it concerns. And since not me since I got legit 70.Its not that big of a deal also whn the new expansion comes out I’m not going to see the 30-39’s anyway doesn’t affect me I wrote that comment whn I was in a mornic mood and it doesn’t mean anything of importance so yeah. sorry.

Lelayne…
Your spelling was not criticized; your grammar was (with good reason). You form sentences with the skill of an ESL student.
You might want to consider visiting some of the sites you have mentioned… your looking pretty “illiterate” and “uneducated” yourself.

I think that getting the mount at lvl 30 is good cause now everyone can start doing instances and raids sooner and easier cause now everyone can move at faster speeds. As for the forms that run fatster, it can still be in use so dont get all pissy. Just learn to work them both out. With every patch people have to learn to play diffrent ways and I dont think blizzard will just screw up the way people play. They think it all out before they do it so it cant be all bad..

Fuck off people! Is this a discussion board or a bitching board!? Everything Leylane has said makes perfect sense! WoW doesn’t fucking revolve around druids! And all the higher lvl people, why the fuck do you care?! Your’e past that! What Blizzard have done here is level the playing field!
