I bought this earlier, and damn do I like it. I find it the best one released in the blizzard store so far. And the way it twists and bend when it flies is just gorgeous. And it's so huge xD

My *ONLY* pet peeve about this mount, is no walking animation. >.< heh. Mounts that are *forced* to fly 24-7 irk me. Poor things. Let them at least land and sit every once in awhile. I used to hate it about the Hippogryffs.

Love the mount but as others have mentioned, I want a walking animation. I also think the wingspan should be bigger.

Nothing to do with a mailbox??? it's just that the wings look a bit too small in comparison to the rest of the body.

It's definitely a beautiful mount... but I don't see myself buying it. Doesn't really fit any of my characters.

Not sure how I feel about this one. Love the mount and the overall look but not being able to walk on the ground kind of bugs me. (I have the same problem with the hovering phoenix mounts.) There are a few small things that I find somewhat strange- like I get the feeling the wings are a bit off? I love the new skeleton though and although I’m not a fan of gold/yellow they really did do a great job on this. It’s a shame it cost real money since I’m so poor xD I don’t really like the idea of blizz store mounts and pets but I must say this one is awesome.
I think we can expect to se recolor of this in the future though since the new skeleton is so nice and would fit in well with MoP. *fingers crossed*

I am totally in love with this mount to be honest, I love Eastern like dragons <3
I took some neat pictures of them on my realm, but I have a noobish Question: How do you get the screenshots from your computer to post on the forums? I seem to be having trouble with it :? .

Sadly after using it for a day I've found the size is the major issue. A lot of vendors, mailboxes, etc. I can't interact with without being right on top of them like some sort of ass. That and my Tauren has trouble fitting through some passageways on it. I still love it though :)

I wonder if interaction radius can be increased on the mount/player side or if it's all controlled by the NPCs themselves.

I'm a sourpuss who thinks that interaction should cause a dismount. :)

printscreen takes screenshots and then you just "Add File" it on the bottom with the full editor.

Or use tinypic.com. XD

that's the exact same thing that I noticed as well but I think the wings look so small because the drake it self is very serpent like and has a very long tale.

but it still looks beautiful

After playing with this guy for a while, I can honestly say that the Dragonhawk mount animation used for this guy was a mistake on Blizz part. I think they should loose the wings entirely and use the swimming animation for the flying animation as well (anyone ever see Spirited Away? Haku flies like I want this guy too). Then make a new walk cycle (because they are going to need to if they want it to walk or even stand). :mrgreen:

Don't get me wrong i love how they look, all of the mounts, i do have the celestial one, but i wish they didn't do things like this as not everyone can afford to buy things and they will feel set behind those that will. I am annoyed that they act like everyone has money and can afford to buy mounts, pets or figurines like there is no tomorrow.
