It quite obviously is meant to be something like a kirin, and not a goat playing dress-ups. Cool I just hope there are no-harness versions so they can stick them in the wild too.

Re: Windsteed = Mythological Qillin irl?
Pretty much all of those, er, if there are new dungeons and/or a new faction that these can appropriately be added to. We have yet to see a single blizz store mount that offers different color variations of itself. They have thusfar made each of the store mounts in a particular fasion where they have no plans to give it color variations ever. The blizz store mounts are one of a kind and unique to the store specifically and will never be acquireable in-game.Creating a color variant now, after already being released, would create a massive uproar, irregardless of where the mount was implemented.Kaellan wrote:Several have said that this isn't a store mount, what makes you think that? The fact it has more than one color? A new faction mount? or a instance drop?
Adding several colors to the store all at once still, im sure to many, would go on and on about how unfair it is that so many colors are in the store and that only rich people can afford them. If some were acquireable in-game, people would complain about how people who dont wanna pay can still get them, while also complaining that their fav color is either in the store or requires too much work to gain.
Theres a lot of potential for it to be an utter ragefest irregardless of how its implemented if the store is involved in any way. We'll of course have to wait and see of course cause its only just been unveiled in its complete form. My only fears about it is if they're hard as frick to acquire. Blizz store, dun much care if its added to that. My birthday is coming up in a couple weeks so i'll be gettin' money there. But if its anything except a daily quest style rep grind, i'll never see em. I just dont know the right people to be able to be an active achiever of current content. I gotta wait years till people can half-ass it to get something i want with less fuss.
But anyways, yea, it may be from the store still, but its doubtful because of the color variations. I'll be happily surprised if they're added into the store tho. Unless its white. Yuck. Sorry, it just looks really bad. I'd get the yellow one before the white any day and ive never been one for yellow mounts xD. The overall model is definitely growing on me tho. I just cant stop staaaaaaaring~

The flying animation is the same as headless horseman, and the cloud under the feet isnt bad at all.

Re: Windsteed = Mythological Qillin irl?
Invincible and Celestial Steed are the exact same animation wise so not really much to talk about there The meaning i was pointing at is that theres flying horses they could of modeled em after. Aka no wings~ Invincible was an ordinary horse and blizz slapped wings on it and shoved it out the door which is rediculious imo :/ One of the rarest mounts, if not the rarest, and its one of the worst animated because its using a completely wrong skeleton for the animal its based off of (like hello blizz, horses do NOT have clawed talons for feet!). Why wings were added at the cost of appropriate and perfectly fine animation that would of really made the mounts come together beautifully, i will have no ideaZiarre wrote:They actually gave it the Invincible animations, as it's the same skeleton and same shape. Granted, Invincible's skeleton was hippogryph based.Xakaal wrote: im with ya there, aspect was total eye candy and then you hop on one and omg it was like celestial steed all over again.. Speaking of which.. why dafaq did they give the celestial steed the hippogryph animations when there were already flying horses before it was released (i think, wasnt the HH mount present before the celestial steed?).
Is there by chance people on the PTR can give us some more shots of the windsteed in flight in front, sideways, and back? Not too close or too far, a nice distance from the char to get a good taste of it in action since im sure its not on the model viewer yet

Not getting into whether I think Invincible was poorly done or not, as it's a subjective thing.

The grounded run animation is right now stupidly fast and it's like the knees are glued to the front armor piece.

Gimme!
Although...
Don't get too excited about all those colours. Remember all the flying discs datamined before MoP hit? We've got one of them, where is the rest, I ask? /sadpanda
