Called it!

I shall now bite my tongue in saying anything about it... Cause it won't be positive.

[Meggers]

Sucks it was $$ but shit I couldn't resist. The boy got it for me as a part of my vday gift. XD

[Chimera]

I has no money to buy it.. but the wings from the videos when it was still new looked really wonky, im gonna have to see it in-game for a while to contemplate getting when i finally get a job

[MaximumOverdrive]

I hear it has no ground animation...that true?

[Jelani]

No ground animation but does a flip if you are on the ground and hit /mountspecial

SO much <3 for this mount. THe lack of grount animation and the wings are kinda meh, but the rest really makes up for it.

[MaximumOverdrive]

Kinda sad it has no ground animation...makes me think of the hypogriffs back in the day...been cool to see running I think lol. Well, I wonder if more of this model will be mounts in MoP.

[Jelani]

Well the gryphs got a walking animation eventually

[Jelani]

Sorry for double post..but here is the mount in Shadowed form

[Vephriel]

Ooh, now this is the first Blizzard store mount that I've ever considered buying.

I really love the Asian dragon model and the fact that it has a completely new skeleton and animations. Gold isn't necessarily my favourite colour, but I just really like the model. I'll see how our funding is right now and if I can manage it I'll probably buy it. ^^

I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this, but...

It's flying backward? O.o

Someone pointed out on the forums that it's using wind serpent skeleton & animations, so when turned horizontally, it appears to be flying backwards, and I think they're right. Cannot unsee

It also has no ground animation (can't land) although the /mountspecial looks pretty cool (druid or bird of prey backflip!).

[Sukurachi]

and it REALLY looks awesome in Shadowform.. I just tried it before coming here to see what people were saying about it.

[Jelani]

BEST.MOUNT.EVAR.
It has a swimming animation...It swims like a snake

[MaximumOverdrive]

Ya know...it says flying mount...so that means my little lowbies can't use it til 60...awww...still cool tho. I think? Or can they?

[Jelani]

I saw a 35...lemme check with a lowbie of mine

EDIT: Yep! Using it on my 46! It just floats XD Useable at 20

[Miacoda]

Lowbies can still use it. I did o my level 30 troll.

[MaximumOverdrive]

Ah...kinda weird it just...floats lol..."Although you don't have a flight license, you are allowed a hover license! You are considered flying if you're more than 10 feet off the ground!"

I hope they add a ground animation sometime tho, I think it'd look pretty spiffy. Maybe it kinda...bounces or something...hopefully not the same running animation current dragons have.

[Jelani]

With it's legs it couldnt have the same animation as the current drakes XD

[MaximumOverdrive]

I figured...hence why I hoped for something else lol...

God, the que is freakin long to buy it...gunna be waiting forever lol.

[Jelani]

lol, I am getting one for a friend, was 18.9k in line, down to 2200
