Q u o t e:
Retroactively change all Brewfest ram spells learned by Horde characters to kodos, then.
Thank you.
Q u o t e:
then why even have Brewfest? Most people participate just for the mounts. Alliance and Horde can get rams/kodos through PVP and reputation.
Q u o t e:
Then any possible logic you have concerning 'homogenizing' racial mounts fails.
Why not make it all kodos this year, and then revert to what you're doing?
While you're at it, re-implement Ravasaurs and give the Alliance a buyable bat mount from some OL faction. That is all.
Q u o t e:
I'm fine with no cross-faction mounts, and I'm also fine with letting Horde keep their rams from last year.
I'm glad to see Kisirani say there will be mounts again this year. I'm also a bit confused. The Brewfest page that was updated a few days ago says nothing about purchasable mounts. The only mounts it mentions are the rare-drop mounts off of the boss in Blackrock Depths (Coren Direbrew).
Q u o t e:
The confusion is over whether we'll be able to purchase mounts with tokens or not. Since the Brewfest page doesn't mention it or list it among the other purchaseable items, it looks like we won't be able to buy them. It looks like the only way to get them is via the rare drops from Corin Direbrew.
Is that the case, or will we be able to buy our mounts with Brewfest tokens as well?
Q u o t e:
Can I ask what is a downside to just making players from either side able to get either the Kodo or the Ram (or both) each year at Brewfest? I would think all the arguing about this would die down quickly.
And just to note in case it seems like I'm biased, I already have my Brewfest ram from last year, so my only interest in this subject is as a bystander role, really.
Q u o t e:
But... it's ok to give away an "iconic" Alliance mount? Why?
Q u o t e:
thanks again blizz for screwing me . 10 tickets short of getting a mount last year and you take all of that away. What do you want me to do with all of these tickets I EARNED?
Q u o t e:
Kisirani, I have a question for you.
Honestly, if someone really wanted the mounts this year and killed the boss as often as they could, do you think the chance of them getting it is fair? Including the 1/5 chance if it actually drops.
Q u o t e:
One little question, it says you're the "world designer" in your sig. Does this mean you make all the little NPCs say stuff and all that stuff and make all the weird holidays?
Or did you do things like design Dalaran and Ice Crown?
If you do the lattter, I take back my insults.
Q u o t e:
I really dislike you now.....i have been farming baron for months now.
Please leave this forum.
Q u o t e:
Now is not the time to be sarcastic with this community.
Also, this thread makes me sad that I did not get the chance to participate in Brewfest last year.
Q u o t e:
Question: if they're temporary mounts, could we get Temporary (note, temporary) kodos because they're such an iconic figure for the horde, it would be amazing to have them just for 2 weeks time.
Q u o t e:
Kisirani, why don't you make a poll of some sort? After all, Blizzard is trying to make the game fun and enjoyable for all players. However, destroying it and making it unfair to both factions just makes us cry.
Please Kisirani, we want to enjoy a small fraction of the game on our Kodos/Rams. It's not hard, just throw a 2MB patch and we will be happy.
Thanks.
Q u o t e:
Kisirani, I realize that it's too late for the event to be patched this year, but I'd like to propose a compromise for next year.
There continue to be many negative reactions to the lack of cross-faction Brewfest mounts on both sides, obviously. Your announcement that permanent mounts would not be obtainable through hand stamps the way they were previously was also met with negative feedback.
I suggest that next year, you bring back the hand stamps. Make it possible for players to obtain their own faction's mount through the Brewfest hand stamps, and to obtain the other faction's mount through killing Coren Direbrew.
I personally would be very happy if you did that, and I think it would be an acceptable compromise for many of us. Not ideal maybe, but acceptable.
Q u o t e:
<snip>
The idea of something new to get with the tickets (which are earned in an enjoyable way that's only available once a year) was much more appealing than stuff that I'll have to grind for (especially stuff that I could get in the same method year-round... grinding.)
As to homogenization, considering that the brewfest boss sounds like ahune that sounds like the headless horseman, what about holiday homogenization?
Q u o t e:
What about the Dark Iron Tankard? Someone addressed it earlier, but went unanswered.
I got mine last year, but I know it was only for a brief moment the first day last year someone could get one. (I'd also like to take this time to admit I was a mug spammer. Sorry!)
... Is there any way to get it again this year, or is it just going to be another thing casted off to the side to rot?
Or to go with Eamil's post, is there any way to re-implement it into future Brewfests if it's too late this year?
