That would be ACE!

It look like the wolf/talbuk mount in Nagrand. It's a "spell" that give you a frostwolf and you can fight with it. Look the same but with a bear.

That's one special world PvP area at Storm's Reach in Stormheim. It's a bit different and rather fun. The area seems to become global PvP at times (something I'm not into) but if you defeat mobs there you don't actually kill them, you subdue them and can ride them. Each type (wolf, bear, stag, goat, I forget if there's any others) has a different extra ability, like a leap, headbutt, etc.. So you can ride around and attack other mobs and/or players.

Oh... PvP... Shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

I'm sorry I shouldn't laugh but that was funny cause I totally feel you.

Here's some screenies from my end! First up, the entrance to the keep that holds your new BM gun



Side-by-side bear model comparisons



A good look at a storm drake in its natural habitat



Some Aszuna environments...






And a close up of those beautiful golden unicorns Saberhorns!

I didn't think it was possible to make the bears look worse... but they kinda did. o_o Still not a fan of the new model.

They are a lot better than they were but the appearance of the skins still severely lets them down as replacements.

For a true comparison, see the white bear old vs new. The new white bear is grey and has blue liberally smeared around the outside of its eyes like Courtney Love's eyeshadow the morning after a binge. Why? Why go out of your way to do this?

Tbh this whole thing is depressing the crap outta me, but I'll keep pushing through so I can bring y'all the goods

Taken during Alpha. Perfect timing. Just as the Lightning hits the statue's spear.

Curse them for not letting us have the unarmored version as mounts, too. But I'm still holding out hope... If not at launch, maybe we could still see them tamable and rideable in a future patch. :s

Because they wanted to make 'glowy eyes' the cheap way. Basically you make it appear as if the eye is glowing by spreading the color around the outline of the eye shape. It never looks good >P

Another thing I noticed is with all the new models they OVERSHADOWED. They dulled the colors and made everything darker in color. I dunno why have been doing this lately, it's just...weird.



I mean look at this polar bear up against those two, who looks more close in color?? The old one. Like whut??

And I am still holding out hope for the sabercorns. *prays*

Next batch! So I traveled out out of Aszuna to the southeast, towards Suramar.

Stopped by the Azurewing Repose...






An owl on a post led me to a cave with a treasure chest! Watch the owls!



Some gorgeous Aszuna oceanside skyboxes




More of Aszuna




Western shot of Suramar, showing off a bit of Sargares' Tomb



Suramar, be careful there's some 'guard' mobs that will blast you out of nowhere! I died three times getting to the city, they seem really randomly placed.




Broken up into a second post, ran out of space for images.

WOO! Meth-head elves!

I hope there's a breaking bad ref somewhere with this kinda druggies theme XD

The currently unavailable pvp weapons from WotLK are returning. This is from the Blazik Fireclaw in Northrend Dalaran's Sewers, who sells Hateful Gladiator's gear. Near him are vendors for recolors (furious and deadly) and a vendor for relentless weapons, which are a different model.

Uh.. None of the pictures of Jangalian works for me, am I the only one ?

Ah wow that's cool about the missing weapons.

And yes, those pics don't work for me, either. We've had this quite a bit over these years, where third party picture sites have been linked and then fail to work when the person's quota has filled

I'll never like those bears. Never. They look so derpy from the side. The scenery sure is beautiful, though!
