I... kinda want it? But yeah, I JUST bought the feydrake (which I love) and ... I haven't even gotten tired of looking at it yet. It seems so -fast-... but I suspect that the accidental leak and some people being able to get it while others couldn't is why they released it so fast after the last one.

I think I can let this one ride for awhile until another cheapie promotion comes around. I'm not a Horde player primarily and this looks very much like a Horde mount to me, so I don't OMG HAVE TO HAVE it for any of my characters right now.

It's not that I don't like it, I just don't want to spend the money so fast after the last one.

Apparently it was special enough to deserve its own trailer!

Argh do want, but argh just spent money on other mounts. x.x I think I'll wait a few months before splurging again.

Holy shit it was released already? I hadn't been keeping tabs cause I haven't played WoW since shy of October but like sweet jebus that trailer was so great for showing it off! Sounds like it's struggling to be released though? Either way I'll be waiting for another mount sale after WoD is released to buy it so I can get both the CE expac and the mount (by then I'll def have a little cache of money just for them tucked away ^^)

It's not in the web store yet. Can you gift from the in-game store? I didn't think so.

I haven't seen it show up in the web store yet either! I guess something was rushed or pushed out unexpectedly, I'm sure they'll have it all sorted out by tomorrow.

I'm really fond of the model, the more I watch it in that trailer the more I like it. While the engines are a bit...superfluous, they don't take too much away from the creature itself like some accessories do since they're tucked in the back. I really like the armor it wears, the face masks are awesome, and the engines are kinda neat looking (though I agree definitely a bit puzzling from a practical perspective). :)

You cant from the ingame store, no. It buys it directly for you.

So, if they are selling this one... what's the WoD CE mount going to be? Some of us were expecting this one, but perhaps that will be a ground mount instead.

WOW this trailer was AMAZING~!!

Even though, and especially with the CE mount (whatever it is, I was soo hoping it would be this one, but oh well - lol nope) incoming as soon as the WoD pre-purchase is open, which is Soon(TM), I'm definitelly waiting for a 50% sale for the skyreaver.

Have you guys noticed if the price for all mounts in the in-game store has increased? In Australia they've jumped 10% to $27.50.

Seriously? If anything they should decrease price since all mounts are boa now. They're not that special anymore...

Got it. Gave it my Orc hunter, who is an engineer with anger issues. She loves it. I love it. Win.
The animations and detail are incredible. I don't get the engines, but.....oh well, cause I'm using it on an engineer, and they put engines on everything. But the pouncy walk, the jump in non-flying areas, the flying animations (barrel roll!!!!) are all amazing. Its a great mount, in my opinion.

And...its a chimaera. I don't think I'm the only one hoping that, minus the armor, tameable chimaeras will look like this in WoD.

Yeah, I looked for it on the web store first. I wasn't keen on using the in-game store. The ads for it on the main WoW site say in-game store only.

I got one last night and didn't think to check whether it was soulbound or account bound at all. If not, then at least one could mail one as a gift. I suspect it is soulbound though.

When I bought it, it said it'd be charged to <card> ending with <last 4 digits>. I guess it's been a while since I set up my default payment method on the Blizzard store, since the acct it showed was one I've not had for 5 or 6 years. I had to log onto battle.net, update my info, then try again in the game.

At least on my account, the skyreaver is the same as everything else, $25.

It's always been $27.50 in Australia because of currency conversions.
