"Shadow Stalker Panther Mount" - upcoming mystery mount!

Unread post by Wain »

Files have been added to the database for a model named "shadowstalkerpanthermount", and another model that is the minipet version. However the files are encrypted and we currently can't get a look at them. Judging by the file names it comes in three colours. Two of them (by file name) are purple and yellow. The third is unknown as the file name has no colour component.

Mount and minipet, added at this particular time and kept encrypted. I wonder if they're going to be this year's Blizzcon rewards, or if they're for some other upcoming promotion.

I'm curious to see what these will look like, though mostly I just feel...somewhat disappointed at yet another cat mount. =_= I know they're popular, but out of all of the interesting mount possibilities we always just seem to get stuck with more cats and wolves.

Wolves and Sabers (Cats) are the most pleasing to the largest amount of people I assume so it's a 'safe' mount to make.

I don't see many people riding the grinning reaver, or even the bat mount. (Granted, these ARE real life money mounts, But still.)

And the fact that people enjoy a mount they can use on both factions without restriction, that are similar to faction mounts, examples being Orc wolves or Night Elf nightsabers.

So... I can sort of see why they would make things that a majority of people would like, especially if it could be a thing you get from a real-life source that costs money (if Blizzcon or Shop item).

Of course, I could be full of it, but that's just what I always thought about it.

And I have 0 problem with more kitties or wolves myself. But I am biased. ;P

I will admit the first thing I thought of when I saw 'Shadow Stalker' was a recolored/black version of the Legion Deluxe Edition mount.

But then I saw 'panther' ;P I'm still excited to see what it will look like.

I wonder if "shadowstalkerpanthermount" is the new Store mount Luminous Starseeker and Twilight mini-pet?
