I guess before releasing it, they tweaked it to fix the errors. (Honestly I like the hearthsteed's run better than normal horses at this point.)
Sadly however, they didn't go back and fix the others with the broken rigging.
I had a feeling it was different! The running definitely looked better than previous horses.

I wasn't big on the idea of the card game and pretty much ignored it up until now but a mount is a mount and even thought my wow account is unsubed at the moment I figured I would work through the grind.
turns out its pretty fun. I have been enjoying myself.

just got the mount and want to keep playing. (I also like all the silly humor and details in the game.)
also do we know if you can duel your friends and have that count towards the wins you need for the mount? if there is any way I can help others get it I would love to help.
Also more screenshots please! I am loving the look of this one. I imagine it will be as common as dirt but I really love the model. it looks like something that belongs in storm peaks. A mix between steampunk and possessed.

Since it specifically mentions 3 wins in play or arena mode, your duels against friends likely won't count. Dueling friends doesn't count towards dailies or rankings either, since the potential for win trading is so high.

Just got mine! 3 wins with a hunter deck. I had played the tutorials a while back so I already had a level 10 hunter with all the basic cards. Did a quick google for deck ideas and put one together. #1 Shammy, #2 Priest, #3 Mage. Each game was a bit harder than the last, and a lucky draw allowed me to win #3. Anyways, the Hearthsteed gets me to 195! Still hoping for a red Hearthsteed - think it would match my main better.....

Heartstone seems to be still under maintanence in EU, so I'll probably get into it in the evening

It will be a perfect mount for my upcoming human priest altie, that I'm planning to roll in WoD.
It makes me think - will the much-earlier-datamined Stormcrow mount be the "heartsteed" of Heroes of the Storm?

I finally got mine, but I actually only got one real win, the other two I got my opponent immediately gave up the "fight" as soon as the board showed up. I'm not sure if they had to leave or if some people are losing on purpose like this to help others get their mount. Either way, I think it was a nice move on Blizzard's part. I wasn't too keen on playing a card game before, though I was curious about it. That mount finally gave me the push to try it, and dear god is that game fun and addictive!

Oh shoot! They fixed the broken rigging on the Hearthsteed? Dang, now I need to get off my butt and win some games. That was the one thing holding me back.

I've given up on this mount. Over 20 games last night and I couldn't even win one of them. I got trounced solidly in all but 2 or 3 of them. Some, I can blame on RNG for giving me truly bad cards on a lot of draws, but I really just have to face the fact that I am absolutely no good at the game. I rather like how the mount looks, which is the only reason I gave Hearthstone another try. I'm going to have to just settle for seeing a lot of others riding it and admiring it from afar.

Gonna give it a go, see if I can get that little pretty.
Kinda don't like the hooves, they bug me, but it's nice overall.
I like the shape of the head and the mane.

The mount might be easier to get once everything dies down a bit.

I read somewhere that it would be easier getting the mount now, because there are a lot of newbies playing. Dunno.
After 11 lost games, I finally managed to win 3 times, and get my mount.
I am so uninstalling that game now! lol

Not sure if anyone has mentioned yet that Corey Stockton tweeted that they hadn't forgotten the red one. I guess they'll keep it in mind for a more advanced achievement in the game (speculation).
I found I enjoyed the experience of playing Hearthstone. But the one thing that I found grating, and for me it was REALLY grating, was some of the voice acting. Hogger, for example, made me constantly wince. There were a few others like that, which to me felt like they were placeholder voices that were never replaced. Some of them even sounded like the same person, though they may well not have been. But Hogger affected me the most. I haven't winced this much at voice acting since the Trial of the "Very well, I will allow it" Crusader.
(To be fair, though, I think ToC was probably more the script. Those poor bastards weren't given much to work with).
Also: moving to Mounts forum

One thing to note. If you buy packs of cards (and you can buy some with the gold you earn, you don't need real money), you have to go to a special section to open them before they become available.
This was probably already obvious to everyone but me. I just kept playing away and wondering why I saw the same old boring cards for AGES.
Also, you can compile your custom decks, so only your preferred cards show up in play.
After this, it becomes a little easier.

You mean Trial of "Tirion Loving His Own Voice" Crusader? So much of that place consists of me yelling "SHUT THE FEL UP AND LET ME KILL THE NEXT THING". Sorry Tirion, but please shut your stupid face.
...Ahem, on topic, I don't listen to voice acting anyway. >.> Oddly enough, the voice acting (much like most cinematics) makes me intensely uncomfortable, so I always mute them.

No as bad as other WoW VA! I mean nothing can beat the horrible fake English accents of the worgen!

Becuase holy crap those sure do win the "worst VA award" in my books.
