New Important update on Ancestral Phoenixes

[SylviaDragon]

I just thought I should make a quick post sharing this great new update. (it came out today so not April fools)
http://www.wowhead.com/news=232931/news ... ls-roundup

•Bronze: The “Undaunted” title for achieving a full set of Bronze medals will become account-wide.
•Silver: The Pandaren Phoenix mounts awarded for a full set of Silver medals will become account-wide. If any character on an account has earned a full set of Silver medals, all four variants of the Pandaren Phoenix (Crimson, Ashen, Violet, and Emerald) will become available to all characters account-wide.

On whether getting one mount grants you all of them with 6.0:

@Netherspark Yes. If any character has the "All Silvers" MoP CM achievement, your account will get all 4 pandaren phoenixes in 6.0.

I am really happy to hear this since I only have one 90 at the moment and finding a group for this can be like pulling teeth. I expected them to be account wide but I didn't even dream of getting all four.

[Aeladrine]

Oh my goodness. Now I better actually try for it!

[Makoes]

OOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! This is real? no fools joke? Real real??????

*Flails madly* OMG!OMG!OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please oh please let this make things easier!!!!

[SpiritBinder]

I was a little sceptical, but it looks to be real which is great news! I don't think this will make them easier to complete, but it should make it easier to find others to help get the silver ranking I dare say

[JezzebelPop]

ALL FOUR!? OHH I am glad I have started, got gold on Scholomance and almost got it on Brewery tonight.

This is seriously excellent news!! If this was ever an April fools it would have been a very cruel one.

[Makoes]

By easier, I mean that more people might be inclined to come on tanks/healers for the achive rather then trying on their dps "mains"

[Vephriel]

Argh, I've never tried any Challenge Mode runs, but I'm going to have to look into it now because I'll be so upset if I miss these phoenix mounts permanently.

[Rawr]

A lot of Petopians are interested, I think someone should organize a run (or 10).

[Wain]

This is really exciting news!

Coincidentally, OpenRaid had only just announced that April is Challenge Mode Mania month:

Hopefully that'll also help people to get these gorgeous birds!

[Aeladrine]

I'd definitely be interested as well, though I'd only need one other person (I'll be running with my usual partner for all things WoW). Is it necessary to have a tank and a healer? I've heard they're a lot like scenarios.

[Lupis]

Oh man, okay, sign me up. I didn't like the one-character-only restriction the mounts had, but now... Yeah, I need.

I'd attend on my feral druid (horde) if someone wants to make groups.

I can tag along on my BE pally as well!

[cowmuflage]

I can do dps on Horde. Just don't know about timezones....

[SylviaDragon]

I was really skeptical of this at first too- kept checking the date to make sure it said the 2nd. (honestly it would be cruel if it was a joke.) so I was really happy when it all checked out. I have been saving up cash to come back to wow nut I may just bite the bullet and grab a time card a bit early so I can cash in on this.
I imagine it will be much easier to find people willing to run this now that the mounts are an all in one package like this. I think it was a really smart/reasonable thing for blizz to do.
(unfortunately I don't have any 90 horde, unlike most of the motivated petopians. >.< but I'm sure I will find a group now.)

[Niabi]

While I would love nothing more than to possess these lovely phoenix beauties, I have absolutely no flippin' idea on how to do Challenge Modes :0(

Most of it is just me though. I get extremely nervous participating in group situations with any of my characters.

[Snowbird]

ohh i would love doing this now!!!!!

[Makoes]

I've got my ally hunter I can bring. I don't think any of my other toons are able to preform well there yet...

[Lupen202]

Oh my god when I read this .. I can't even tell you how happy I am! I completed the silver achievement on my hunter awhile back and got the emerald, but the decision was so difficult. All four are absolutely gorgeous and I've been planning on getting the violet on my lock, but finding a group again has been more than difficult. I can't believe that theyre making them not only account wide, but are awarding you the three you didn't obtain as well.

I'm the same way. And the time pressure is a deal breaker for me. Happy for everyone else, though!

[Lupen202]

It really isn't that bad. If you download oqueue and keep an eye on groups you can get lucky and find one only aiming for silver... These are naturally more Laidback than one aiming for gold. Bring a few invis pots and just have fun trying for the best time you can get. It was far harder for me getting a group than actually getting the achievement... There were a few trials and errors but overall it went smoothly, and I wasn't some pro

I know how people feel when it comes to pressure... I'm shy IRL and have a fear of messing up in raids the first time I do the boss. I tell myself the worst that can happen is I get kicked, which is all too true but I can't help but stress.

But like I said these cms really aren't that bad at all especially as dps; It really is worth at least a shot!
