Ok, so I read the upcoming patch notes and in 3.1.1 the mounts now swim in the water???

Ok, so I don't know about you but when is the last time you were taking a dip in the ocean and a horse swam by?

When was the last time you were doing laps in the pool and a tiger just saw on by merrily along his way?

Or you're fishing the lake and suddeny a ram or a wolf goes swimming by?

You're walking along the beach and an elephant swims by? Or a dinosaur?

THESE ANIMALS CANT SWIM.

The only mount I could see swimming is a Robochicken from the Gnomes.

And you see the Robochicken swimming because why?

Welcome to Azeroth, where dragons fly and people shoot lightning bolts out of their fingers without using a Tesla machine.



Oooh.. just realized who the OP was. /wave Good one!

Tesla Totem for Shaman
Totem that shoots Lightning bolts at hostile targets within 10 yards =D


Yeah, but they'd have to sit on the totem to be properly grounded. That doesn't sound comfortable.

WHERE DO YOU SEE THE PATCH 3.1.1 PATCH NOTES???

They dont exist yet, sorry


^^^ This, though we have made mention that we will be allowing you to ride your mounts in water in the future. So you shouldn't have an issue with your mount going *poof* if it happens to get a little wet going across a stream. :)

So I guess the mounts made out of Ice Tea Mix will never make it out of the prototype phase? :(


Not unless a more potent congealing agent is found.

10 pages of troll food, you should all be ashamed!

Does this mean I'm grounded?
